Ning Rongrong gracefully bowed to Zhao Wuji.
Zhao Wuji was taken aback. When did this little devil become so polite?
"Teacher Zhao, I don't think Shrek Academy's teaching is suitable for me. I'm here today specifically to bid you farewell."
Upon hearing this, Zhao Wuji's face clearly showed displeasure. "Our environment here is a bit lacking, but our teaching is second to none on the Douluo Continent. Have you really thought this through?"
Ning Rongrong nodded affirmatively.
"It seems our small temple can't accommodate a big shot like you. We'll be returning to Shrek Academy at noon today. You can leave the team on the official road and return to your sect."
Zhao Wuji was somewhat angry, because no one from Shrek had ever withdrawn before; it was a disgrace.
After staring at Zhao Wuji for a few seconds, Ning Rongrong turned and left.
"Right, you paid the Gold Soul Coins for Tang San and the others yesterday, didn't you? I'll have them figure out how to gather it up and pay you back later." Zhao Wuji rumbled.
"No need, Teacher Zhao. We're classmates. Everyone's a bit strapped for cash. No need to sweat the small stuff."
Soon, Dai Mubai and the others, who had gathered together, learned that Ning Rongrong was leaving the team.
Tang San sighed but said nothing. Oscar was about to speak when a voice of disapproval interrupted him.
"Heh, I knew this Shrek Academy wasn't good enough for this pampered young miss." Dai Mubai sneered.
Ma Hongjun chimed in, "Good riddance. Always going on about who her father is. Having connections makes you so great? We're better off without a teammate like that."
"Enough!" Zhu Zhuqing raised her black eyes and rebuked them, "We were classmates, after all. Is it right to speak such cold words?"
Tang San crossed his arms, calm and confident. "We were classmates, after all. You should say less of these harsh words. When our class makes Shrek Academy famous across the continent, I wonder if she'll regret leaving today."
"You're right, Third Bro!" Oscar said, nodding in admiration.
"I heard you were downstairs all day yesterday. Didn't come up at all?" Dai Mubai asked, his eyes red with anger.
"Heh." Zhu Zhuqing gave him a cold glance and walked towards the door.
As she stepped out, she bumped into Ning Rongrong, who was covering her red lips, her eyes filled with disappointment. It turned out she had heard everything that was said outside the door.
The two women walked together to the grassy plain outside the restaurant. Zhu Zhuqing asked, "Have you decided to leave?"
"I hadn't decided before, but I have now," Ning Rongrong said firmly.
"Are you planning to return to your sect to cultivate in the future?"
Ning Rongrong shook her head, her beautiful eyes revealing curiosity. "I want to go to Skywater and see what kind of person that guy really is."
"To be honest, I envy you a little. You can freely choose the life you want," Zhu Zhuqing sighed softly, her dark eyes drifting slightly.
Ning Rongrong stopped walking and said seriously, "If you want to, you can too. The so-called family arrangements will fall apart once you have enough strength."
Zhu Zhuqing's fiery body trembled slightly, feeling a turmoil within.
Some thoughts were like seeds; once sown in the soil of the heart, they would take root and sprout.
The extreme attitudes of the Shrek Academy students and Ning Rongrong's departure were like that seed.
Entering the Star Dou Great Forest, which had existed on the Douluo Continent for countless years, Luo Yu felt the fresh, clean air of the plants wafting from afar. It was as if every pore on his body instantly opened, bringing an indescribable sense of comfort.
Looking into the distance, he saw dense trees that blotted out the sky, an endless sea of green. The tall trees were at least twenty meters high, and amidst the shadows of the trees, there were insects chirping and birds singing everywhere.
Luo Yu greedily took a deep breath of the fresh air, and couldn't help but find it amusing. In his previous life, how much money would he have had to spend to escape the city and go to a scenic area to breathe in such "immortal air?"
"Here? Nobody charges you."
"As long as you're not afraid of death, the further in you go, the better the air gets. You can even see rare and exotic beasts that are hundreds of thousands of years old."
Su Yaoyun patted Luo Yu's shoulder in a strange way, "What's with you? Why are you making such a seductive expression? I brought you here for a trip, you know?"
Luo Yu said, "With you here to hold down the fort, isn't this place just like our Skywater Academy's backyard?"
"Oh ho." Su Yaoyun said mischievously, "Have you been to an imperial prison? You've become so eloquent since you got out."
Suddenly, Luo Yu faintly felt a special fluctuation sweeping towards him. It seemed like a mental fluctuation, but also not quite.
If it weren't for his special bloodline and exceptionally sharp senses, he wouldn't have noticed it at all.
Su Yaoyun's expression instantly changed, and emotions of annoyance and weariness arose simultaneously. She muttered in a low voice, "They really won't let me go."
"What's wrong, teacher?" Luo Yu asked, puzzled.
Su Yaoyun turned her head and instructed, "Your strength is decent, but you don't know much about this place. I need to take care of something. Wait for me on the outer edges here, and don't wander off."
With that, a flash of pink light enveloped Su Yaoyun, and with a displeased expression, she vanished towards the outer reaches of the Star Dou Great Forest.
Luo Yu watched the Beguiler depart, his eyes filled with even greater suspicion. He always felt that this Teacher Su was mysterious. Not only was her personality peculiar, but her strength was also difficult to fathom. Her sudden appearances and disappearances only added to his confusion.
This Skywater Academy is something else. He thought. It seems the water here is really deep.
Fortunately, based on his observations, the teachers genuinely cared for their students. The principal didn't seem like a bad person either. Luo Yu shook his head, deciding not to dwell on it. Regardless, improving his strength was the most important thing.
Staying put was out of the question. Who knew what his bizarre martial soul would look like after attaching its first Soul Ring? Even if something strange did happen, it wouldn't be a major issue, but it would be difficult to explain.
Luo Yu calculated. The normal limit for a first Soul Ring was around four hundred and twenty-three years, and for a third Soul Ring, it was about one thousand seven hundred years.
His current strength and physical condition were undoubtedly beyond the level of a three-ring Soul Elder.
In that case, finding a Soul Beast around five thousand years old should be sufficient.
Luo Yu nodded, lightly brushing past the branches as he cautiously advanced into the inner circle, his left eye subtly flashing with golden light, not daring to be careless in the slightest.
On the other side, at a desolate mound far in the Star Dou Great Forest, a tall, slender figure in black stood with her back to the scene. Pink light swiftly approached from the distance, arriving in a matter of breaths.
The alluring charm that usually clung to Su Yaoyun was gone, replaced by intense coldness and irritation.
"How many times must I say it? Stop coming to find me!"
"I don't care what you want, but don't disturb my life anymore."
"Heh, have you forgotten our mission?" A delicate yet authoritative voice echoed from in front.
Su Yaoyun sneered, "Are you talking about infiltrating the God Realm to obtain a god's inheritance, or secretly opening a passage between the two realms?"
"Heh, which of those have you managed? All I see is you doing nothing," the female voice sneered back.
"I just don't understand, now that we're on this continent, why we still bother with that filthy place," Su Yaoyun said with disdain.
"Mei, don't forget your position! And don't forget the Holy Lord's orders," the female voice rebuked.
"Heh, who cares about him."
"As long as the God Realm exists, he'll forever cower in the shadows, too afraid to come here. What is there to fear?"
"Silence!" The tall woman in black instantly turned around, revealing an overwhelmingly majestic face.
