Douluo Continent: Ning Rongrong? Even a dog wouldn't chase her.

He must absorb this immortal herb now and absolutely cannot be disturbed by anyone!

"What's wrong? Sect Master, what are your orders?"

The gatekeeper disciple who had been guarding the gate ran in upon hearing the noise.

"Cancel all my social engagements today. I can't let anyone bother me!"

"do you understand?"

Ning Fengzhi gave a stern command.

"Understood!"

"But Sect Master, your former Shrek Academy teacher, Yu Xiaogang, had arranged to meet with you today."

"They said they wanted Miss to return to Shrek Academy. Are you going to push that back too?"

The gatekeeper hesitated, after all, this matter concerned the future of his young mistress.

"There's no need to discuss this anymore, let Rongrong go!"

"Anyway, she's been staying in the sect these days without cultivating, so it's better to send her to the academy to study. Maybe she can even participate in a Soul Master competition later."

"If she doesn't go, then tell her that she won't get any more allowance!"

"Go down."

Ning Fengzhi didn't even hesitate and immediately issued the order.

After all, Gu Yi is no longer here, and his idea of ​​participating in the competition has fallen through.

Furthermore, after Ning Rongrong returned to the sect, she played around every day, and while her cultivation didn't improve at all, she also caused him so much trouble. He really couldn't stand it anymore!

Rather than letting her continue down this path of moral decay, it would be better to let her return to the academy.

"Yes, Sect Master."

The gatekeeper responded and then withdrew.

Seeing this, Ning Fengzhi did not hesitate at all. He picked up the wooden box, then shook the right handle of the main seat. Immediately afterwards, an underground passage appeared in front of him.

This was a secret chamber he had prepared long ago, originally intended to be used to escape natural and man-made disasters that were truly unavoidable, but now it could be used for cultivation, so it served the same purpose.

He carried the wooden box and strode inside, a smile always on his face.

In his heart, the day he would become a Title Douluo seemed to be just around the corner!

Chapter 97 Return to Heaven

Time is sometimes like that; it always slips away quietly without you even noticing.

Just as Gu Yi was diligently cultivating, just as Yu Xiaogang was frantically training Tang San, just as Hu Liena was desperately chasing after Gu Yi.

Time slipped away from them, and in the blink of an eye, a year had passed.

During this period, through cultivation and daily combat training, Gu Yi's soul power has broken through to level 66.

His three purple and three black spirit rings once again stunned Hu Liena and the others, who were now somewhat numb.

Just like with Gu Yi, even the most outrageous things can happen, and it doesn't seem out of place at all.

Daily life at the Spirit Hall Academy is simple, but Hu Liena's competitiveness and curiosity cause Gu Yi a lot of trouble.

She would secretly follow Gu Yi every day to observe whether he did anything strange or unusual.

She was genuinely curious and wanted to know what Gu Yi had done.

Why is his cultivation progressing so fast, like he's on a rocket?

No matter how hard she tried, she still couldn't catch up with Gu Yi.

However, her behavior towards Gu Yi aroused the dissatisfaction of another person, Yan.

Because of Hu Liena's attitude towards Gu Yi, he often caused trouble for Gu Yi, which was ineffective, but he enjoyed it.

Despite being scolded by Hu Liena and retaliated against by Gu Yi every time, he always became more courageous after each setback and couldn't stop!

As for Shrek Academy, Tang San went completely mad, because of Xiao Wu, he had started cultivating day and night.

Ever since Xiao Wu left his side, he has been obsessed with cultivation, vowing to snatch Xiao Wu back from Gu Yi.

During that year, he visited the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School several times in an attempt to find Xiao Wu, but to no avail.

He only stopped after Ning Rongrong returned to Shrek Academy and explained everything to him.

But this only fueled Tang San's anger towards Gu Yi, and he worked even harder.

In just one year, he advanced ten levels and became a four-ring Soul Master.

However, because he lacked external soul bones and immortal herbs, he was not as monstrous as in the original story.

And today, a year later, the All-Continent Elite Tournament of Advanced Soul Master Academies has finally begun!

……

Wuhun City, the Pope's Palace.

"Our team will advance directly to the finals this year, just like in previous years."

"Gu Yi, this time, you will be the captain. You will be responsible for observing the strengths of other academies, formulating battle strategies, and winning the final championship."

"How about it? Are you confident, Gu Yi?"

Bibi Dong sat gracefully in the main seat, smiling as she looked at Gu Yi and asked.

Gu Yi's growth within a year was astonishing; she had never seen a Soul Master progress so rapidly.

If Gu Yi's gender were reversed, Bibi Dong would never have arranged any competition for the position of Holy Son; she would probably have passed it on to Gu Yi long ago.

"Of course I have confidence, Your Holiness, but I think the position of captain might be more suitable for Hu Liena."

"With her as captain, our team might be even stronger."

Gu Yi answered respectfully.

"Ok?"

"how

Are you telling me that you're not good at taking a leading role and directing others?

Bibi Dong paused for a moment, then smiled and asked again.

However, it was quite obvious that the smile on her face was even brighter than before.

"Of course not, Your Holiness the Pope. But surely I can't be the only one stealing the spotlight?"

"Hu Liena has excellent leadership skills and strong talent. She can also use the Spirit Fusion Technique with Yan and Xie Yue. Such a genius is more than qualified to be the captain."

As if joking, Gu Yi replied calmly.

"Ha~"

"Alright, as you say, the team captaincy is yours, Nana."

"I look forward to your performance."

Bibi Dong chuckled and immediately adopted Gu Yi's suggestion. By the way, she also gave Hu Liena a boost of confidence.

"Yes, Your Holiness, I will certainly not disappoint you."

Hu Liena frowned. Although it belonged to Gu Yirang, she accepted it calmly.

"Alright, that's settled then. You may all leave."

"correct!"

“The preliminary rounds will be held in Tiandou City these days. If you are interested, you can ask a few elders to accompany you to watch.”

"Let's see if any of your rivals are among them."

After saying all this, Bibi Dong slowly got up and left the main hall.

Only after she left did the pressure in everyone's hearts finally disappear.

"Hmph! Gu Yi, you're smart enough to know that the captain's position belongs to our Nana."

"Alright, for the sake of this matter, I'll let you off today."

As soon as Bibi Dong left, Yan instantly reverted to his arrogant demeanor from the academy.

He acted like a superior, as if he were forgiving Gu Yi.

Gu Yi, however, was already used to these things and didn't pay any attention to him.

"Enough! Yan, shut up."

But his behavior made Hu Liena very ashamed, and she quickly stopped him.

She knew that Gu Yi didn't want her position as captain, so he gave it to her.

Yan's words seemed to be mocking Gu Yi, but in reality, she was the one who felt the most hurt.

"Gu Yi, what do you mean?"

"Do you think I need your humility? I am not weak, and I do not need your charity."

"I would never have agreed if I didn't want to put the teacher in a difficult position."

Hu Liena looked at Gu Yi and questioned him sharply.

She was very angry. Yan's words were like oil poured on her already burning anger.

"is it?"

"Then use this opportunity to prove that you are not weak."

“You have won, the position of the Holy Son is yours, and I am the weak one; conversely, you are the weak one.”

Gu Yi was unconcerned about Hu Liena's anger, after all, it was something he had done on purpose.

Being a team leader is too much trouble, especially with that troublemaker Yan. He really doesn't want to deal with any of this.

So he decided to dump this mess on Hu Liena, and all he had to do was show off.

"Alright, stop arguing."
