Douluo: This soul master is a big eater

Chapter 48 Preparing to Find the Ring
Yun Yi and Zhu Zhuqing were having dinner together, when suddenly Yun Yi noticed that Zhu Zhuqing's eyes were wandering from time to time.

Yun Yi was a little confused and asked, "What's wrong? Zhu Qing."

Zhu Zhuqing snorted lightly and just rolled her eyes at Yun Yi without saying anything.

"..." Just as all kinds of guesses appeared in Yun Yi's mind, he found that Zhu Zhuqing's beautiful eyes were focused on his wrist.

Yun Yi immediately showed a look of realization, and chuckled and joked, "I remember a little kitty told me that she didn't care."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing blushed, put down the cutlery in her hand and looked straight at Yun Yi. Her expression seemed to tell Yun Yi that she cared a lot.

Knowing Zhu Zhuqing's personality, Yun Yi stopped teasing her and whispered to her, "I told Rongrong before that this was given to me by a sister when I was in the Xingdou Great Forest. It's been five years, but I haven't seen her again. I don't even know her name, I just remember her appearance."

Seeing Yun Yi's nostalgic look, Zhu Zhuqing felt a little sad in her heart. She turned her head slightly, picked up the cutlery and continued eating.

Seeing this, Yun Yi also came close to Zhu Zhuqing and chuckled, "What? Are you jealous?"

"Hmph... go find your sister and stay away from me." Zhu Zhuqing said somewhat aggrievedly.

Upon hearing this, Yun Yi moved even closer. He also understood that Zhu Zhuqing was still in a state of anxiety.

“Zhu Qing, you don’t think that sister is the same age as me, right? How about I put it another way? When I was seven years old, that sister already looked like an adult, and conservatively estimated that sister’s strength is above that of a Soul Emperor. Even Senior Qin, the youngest Soul Emperor on this continent, is now thirty-four years old. Even if she has the same talent as Senior Qin, she should be forty or above now. So, Zhu Qing, are you jealous of an aunt?” Yun Yi chuckled.

Zhu Zhuqing was slightly startled when she heard this. She turned around and saw Yun Yi's smiling face. She was immediately furious and hit Yun Yi's shoulder with her fist in anger, saying unhappily, "Then you call me sister."

Yun Yi gently put his arm around Zhu Zhuqing's shoulders and chuckled, "When you're out, be sweet and smile more. Look, after I called Auntie "sister" a few times, she took out a soul guide from her pocket. This thing is not cheap. If I had gone with Auntie at that time, I might have become someone's son-in-law."

Zhu Zhuqing gave Yun Yi a blank look and curled her lips, "Flattery, what does this have to do with you calling her sister? That woman obviously saw your potential."

"Zhu Qing, you are right. It is true that she saw my potential, but she also felt the kindness I showed her. A person with great talent should not ignore others before becoming a strong person. This will only make others feel threatened from the future. If I had not shown my kindness to her, she might have chosen to kidnap me directly that day instead of investing in me and letting me develop on my own."

"I think you just want to be kidnapped by that woman." Zhu Zhuqing said coquettishly.

"Zhu Qing, a truly smart person would not do this. To conquer others, you must first conquer their hearts. If she kidnaps me, she will still need to spend time and energy to conquer my heart, but with that thorn in the beginning, the difficulty will be magnified a lot. But if she gives me an investment, when we meet in the future, I will still call her sister, and then help her with all my strength, or even be recruited by her to win a big stake with a small stake. If she loses, she will only lose a soul guide, and if she wins, the value generated is not comparable to that of a soul guide. Releasing one's kindness is to give others the confidence to bet on themselves." Yun Yi chuckled.
Zhu Zhuqing seemed to be thinking about something after hearing this. She slowly leaned on Yun Yi's shoulder and asked softly, "Since you want to show your kindness, why did you choose to leave Shrek? Shouldn't you choose to stay? They are all geniuses, and being classmates will be of great help to your future."

"That's what I thought at the beginning, but I overlooked one problem. They are not the superiors who bet on them, and if you want to fit in with them, you have to become similar to them. If you are too bad or too cowardly, they will destroy you and step on you... If you are too good or too strong, they will also be worried, they will suppress you and alienate you... Only when you are similar to them, will they feel at ease to accept you... I can't satisfy everyone, so I chose to leave. Staying here will only increase conflicts. But I am not without gain. Aren't you here now? Rongrong also came to see me yesterday."

When talking about Ning Rongrong, Yun Yi suddenly felt a sharp pain in his waist, and saw Zhu Zhuqing looking up and staring at him.

"Well... Rongrong was just an accident. She was so good to me, I just couldn't bear to see her fall into the Oscar trap." Yun Yi said somewhat embarrassedly.

"So I have to fall into your trap." Zhu Zhuqing raised her eyebrows and looked at Yun Yi.

Yun Yi smiled and said, "Zhu Qing, please stop joking with me. At worst, I can just avoid Rong Rong in the future."

Zhu Zhuqing looked at Yun Yi and sighed silently in her heart. She also understood that just as Yun Yi said last night, even if Ning Rongrong did not exist, there would be other women appearing in the future. A genius like Yun Yi would eventually have to accept the bondage of other forces. Ning Rongrong was the one she could easily accept. Of course, she would not tell Yun Yi about this idea.

"Zhuqing?" Yun Yi looked at Zhu Zhuqing cautiously and said softly.

Zhu Zhuqing couldn't help but feel a little amused when she saw Yun Yi's expression. She smiled and said, "Okay, you don't have to hide from Rongrong, but be careful to keep your distance."

Hearing this, Yun Yi was relieved and nodded with a smile, "Let's go after we're full. We still have a lot to do."

Zhu Zhuqing nodded, and then the two of them simply packed up and walked towards Qin Ming's dormitory hand in hand.

Soon, the two arrived at Qin Ming's dormitory. When Qin Ming opened the door, he saw the two men's faces filled with surprise. As a teacher in an academy, he naturally understood what the Nether Spirit Cat represented.

"Junior, it's still you..." Qin Ming joked and gave Yun Yi a thumbs up.

Zhu Zhuqing felt a little embarrassed standing next to Yun Yi.

Yun Yi scratched the back of his head and said, "Senior, please stop laughing at me. Can Zhu Qing enroll in Tiandou Royal Academy?"

Qin Ming became serious upon hearing this and said, "Xiao Yi, there is definitely no problem for Junior Sister Zhuqing to register for the academy, but I want to remind you that if Zhuqing wants to represent Tiandou Royal Academy in the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Competition, it is not possible. You also understand what Zhuqing's martial spirit represents. This is a matter of national dignity, unless you are ready to take Junior Sister Zhuqing to fight against Xingluo."

Zhu Zhuqing also became a little nervous and said softly, "Then I won't participate."

Yun Yi waved his hand and said, "Don't worry, senior, let Zhuqing participate. Anyway, I don't plan to let Zhuqing return to Xingluo. If it really doesn't work, let Zhuqing live in the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect for a while. Forcing our own people to move to other countries for some bullshit competition, there is no need for Zhuqing to care about the dignity of such a country."

Qin Ming looked at Yun Yi helplessly and said, "Since you have already made up your mind, I, as your senior, will not say much. The three education committee members and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also think highly of you. You can also seek their help when the time comes."

"Thank you for the reminder, senior." Yun Yi said with a smile.

Hearing this, Qin Ming patted Yun Yi on the shoulder and said, "Why are you being so polite to me, senior? Come on, I'll take you to register."

Then several people slowly walked out of the dormitory.

"Junior, there is one thing I forgot to tell you. I originally wanted to put you into the Royal Fighting Battle. Due to the rules of Tiandou Royal Academy for recommendation, this will make it easier for you. However, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince discussed with the three teaching committee members and decided to put you in Tiandou Team 2. You don't have any objection, do you?" Qin Ming said softly.

Yun Yi shook his head and said, "I have no opinion on this. The decision made by the three members of the Education Committee and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is very correct. The members of the Royal Fighting Team may not be able to adapt to the sudden joining of the Royal Fighting Team. They need to re-practice the tactics, which may make them a little unfamiliar. Besides, I prefer to practice alone."

Qin Ming nodded and said, "Well, I think so too. Instead of asking you to cooperate with Huang Dou's tactics, it is better to let you play freely with some irrelevant personnel."

Yun Yi laughed when he heard this and said, "Unrelated personnel, if Senior Qin was heard by the members of Team 2, I wonder what they would think."

Qin Ming also said helplessly, "Actually, I shouldn't say this, but the players of the second team are indeed some spoiled children. You can just play freely when the time comes. They are just here to show their faces in the competition."

Hearing this, Yun Yi immediately remembered the Tiandou Royal Academy Team 2 who were almost instantly sent home in the original novel. It could be said that they really had no combat effectiveness.

The three of them walked and talked and soon arrived at the place where student information was registered.

When he came here, Qin Ming also noticed that something was wrong with Yun Yi and Zhu Zhuqing. He had been chatting with Yun Yi and Zhu Zhuqing and had not paid attention to the soul power emitted by Yun Yi and Zhu Zhuqing.

"Xiao Yi, have you made another breakthrough in the past few days? The strength of your aura has reached that of a Soul Sect. And Zhu Qing, I remember that you were a Great Soul Master when you fought with Huang Dou, but now you have the aura of a high-level Soul Master." Qin Ming said in surprise.

Yun Yi nodded slightly and said, "I was lucky enough to break through to level 40. Now I just need one spirit ring."

Zhu Zhuqing remained silent, not knowing how to explain. Seeing this, Yun Yi came close to Qin Ming and whispered in his ear. Qin Ming showed a look of enlightenment and nodded slightly.

Qin Ming then changed the subject and said to Yun Yi, "Since Xiaoyi has reached level 40, after Zhuqing has registered, I will report to the three teaching committee members and take you to obtain a suitable spirit ring." Yun Yi nodded. With his current physical strength, he would need the help of a powerful spirit master to obtain a spirit ring. According to Yun Yi's estimation, after taking the immortal products, his physical strength should have reached the level of a spirit saint. According to common sense, his body can definitely withstand a spirit ring of 30,000 to 50,000 years.

Soul beasts of thirty to fifty thousand years are not something Yun Yi can deal with alone. At least a Soul Douluo is needed to take action. This is why Yun Yi's first three soul rings are all purple. After all, as a lone wolf in the forest, being able to deal with thousand-year soul beasts at level twenty to thirty is already his greatest strength. Moreover, at that level, it is impossible for Yun Yi to attempt a ten-thousand-year soul ring because he does not have enough mental strength.

Now Yun Yi basically has all the conditions to absorb a ten thousand year spirit ring, so naturally he has to choose a suitable one.

During the registration process, a morning passed by in a flash. After lunch, the three of them went to the Academic Affairs Office together.

It was still the same office, and Qin Ming knocked on the door slowly.

Meng Shenji's voice also came from the room, "Come in."

Three people pushed the door open and walked in slowly.

"Teacher Qin, Xiaoyi, this is..." Meng Shenji looked at the three people and waited for their introduction.

Qin Ming stepped forward and bowed, "Mr. Meng, this is my schoolmate who also came from Shrek. Her situation is the same as Xiaoyi's."

"Zhu Zhuqing, a level 38 agility attack type combat soul master, martial soul, Nether Spirit Cat, nice to meet you, the Education Committee." Zhu Zhuqing bowed slowly.

"The Netherworld Spirit Cat." Meng Shenji looked at Zhu Zhuqing and a gleam of light flashed in his slightly turbid eyes.

Then Qin Ming also explained the relationship between Yun Yi and Zhu Zhuqing. Meng Shenji looked at Yun Yi helplessly and said, "You kid will cause trouble for the empire."

Yun Yi scratched his head embarrassedly and said, "Actually, I came here to trouble you with something else."

Meng Shenji smiled slightly when he heard this. As for Yun Yi's needs, he was not afraid of trouble. On the contrary, he felt that the more trouble Yun Yi caused, the better.

"Go ahead."

"I need a spirit ring."

Meng Shenji looked at Yun Yi with a strange expression and said, "Spirit ring? Can't Teacher Qin take you to hunt for it? There is no need to report such a trivial matter."

Yun Yi said awkwardly, "My spirit ring, I'm afraid you are powerless, even you are a little worried."

"Oh?" Hearing this, Meng Shenji also remembered Yun Yi's strange body, his super-standard soul ring, and what Yun Yi had just said.

"Qin Ming can't hunt it either. That's a Soul Emperor level 10,000-year soul ring. It's a bit risky for me to hunt it alone. Wouldn't it require a Soul Saint level of 30,000 to 50,000?"

Thinking of this, Meng Shenji took a breath of cold air. All signs indicated that the one Yun Yi wanted to choose was at least a ten thousand year soul ring that could only be absorbed by a Soul Saint.

Meng Shenji thought for a moment, his wrinkled lips moved slightly, and soon the other two education committee members also walked in slowly.

Seeing this, Meng Shenji also said to Qin Ming, "Teacher Qin, you take Zhuqing back first. There is no problem with the child. The three of us old men will talk to Yun Yi."

Qin Ming nodded, and Yun Yi whispered to Zhu Zhuqing, "Zhu Qing, just go back to the dormitory and wait for me."

Zhu Zhuqing nodded, then followed Qin Ming and slowly left.

Seeing the two of them leave, Meng Shenji also hurriedly said, "Xiao Yi, I don't agree with you absorbing such a high-year spirit ring. It's too risky."

"Yes..." "Yes..." The other two education committee members also echoed.

Yun Yi waved his hand and said, "Three members of the Education Committee, please listen to me first. My choice of spirit ring is not without basis. Even Teacher Qin's body is not as good as mine. And didn't Member Zhilin also test my spirit pressure that day?"

Zhilin heard this and said, "First of all, your test results that day only reached the Soul Emperor. Secondly, soul pressure is different from absorbing soul rings. One is that the pressure only stays on the surface, while the other is that soul power constantly flows into the body."

Yun Yi said as a matter of course, "So I didn't plan to choose 50,000 years. I chose 30,000 years, which is just enough to pass the Soul Saint standard."

Bai Baoshan shook his head and said, "No, it's still too risky."

"If you really don't believe me, you can test it again. Now I am somewhat confident that even if it is a Soul Douluo level soul pressure." Yun Yi said to the three people.

“How about this, as long as you can withstand the soul pressure of the Soul Saint level, the three of us will accompany you to find the soul ring. If not, the three of us will still accompany you to find the soul ring, but you have to listen to us.” Meng Shenji said to Yun Yi.

Yun Yi nodded. After absorbing the Qirong Tongtianju, his soul power and physical body had made great progress. He also had an external soul bone that was like a glove. Yun Yi felt that he should have no problem with the pressure of the Soul Saint level.

Seeing Yun Yi nodded, Meng Shenji waved his sleeves, and suddenly a powerful soul power like a mountain smashed towards Yun Yi. Yun Yi half-knelt on the ground in an instant. This time, Meng Shenji did not add it little by little like Zhilin did that day. If an ordinary soul master was oppressed by such soul power, it would be no different from an attack.

Even though Yun Yi was under such pressure, he only half-knelt down. If he were an ordinary Soul Sect member, he would have suffered damage to his internal organs and started vomiting blood.

Under the surprised gazes of the three people, Yun Yi's left hand glowed with golden light. At this time, Yun Yi's left hand seemed to be wearing a glove wrapped with gold threads, emitting strong soul power fluctuations. The left hand wrapped with gold threads was also pinching his Wuji. The Xuantian Gong in his body was accelerated to resist the pressure, and he slowly stood up from half-kneeling, as if he was gradually getting used to the soul pressure.

The three of them also noticed the abnormality of Yun Yi's left hand and were suddenly shocked, "What is this? Soul bone..."

At this moment, Yun Yi was surprised to find that under the pressure of Meng Shen Ji, the golden thread wrapped around his hand was slowly melting into his palm.

Soon, the golden thread disappeared without a trace, leaving only the palm with a metallic luster.

Yun Yi's body suddenly felt lighter. Yun Yi looked at the three education committee members in confusion, only to see that they all had bitter smiles on their faces.

"Have the three education committee members agreed?" Yun Yi said with a smile.

Meng Shenji nodded, sighed slightly and said, "Now I understand why you graduated from Shrek Academy after only a few months. If you reach the Soul Emperor level according to your plan, we three old men will not even be qualified to help you obtain the soul ring."

The other two education committee members also had complicated expressions when they heard this. Yun Yi was also a little embarrassed and said to the three people, "Thank you for your praise, education committee members. That kid..."

Meng Shenji said helplessly, "I will explain the matter to the other members of the Education Committee first. Come tomorrow and we will take you to find the ring."

Yun Yi smiled slightly and said, "Thank you very much, the three members of the Education Committee. I will go back first."

Meng Shenji waved towards the door.
