Ning Rongrong felt like she was being scratched by a cat. She remembered that Zhu Zhuqing seemed to have been with Bai Yu all day. She must know what happened at noon!
His eyes darted around, then he grabbed Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing's hands, turned and ran towards the room, shouting loudly:
"Teacher Zhao, you go ahead. Zhuqing and Xiao Wu have something to take care of, we'll be there in a bit!"
Zhao Wuji and the others were full of questions, muttering to themselves, "What are these little girls up to?"
The three returned to their room, and Ning Rongrong, unable to wait any longer, let out a groundhog-like scream at Zhu Zhuqing.
(TL: reeeeeeee)
"Zhuqing, you've been with Bai Yu all day, haven't you? Did you really run into the Silver Dragon King at noon? Tell me quickly!"
Xiao Wu is also very curious. She vaguely remembers that her mother told her that there was a Beast God among the Soul Beasts, but it doesn't seem to be called the Silver Dragon King.
Zhu Zhuqing nodded, and said with a tone of amazement:
"We did indeed encounter two extremely beautiful women, especially the one with silver hair. Just as Bai Yu described, she was otherworldly in beauty! She must be the Silver Dragon King."
Ning Rongrong and Xiao Wu's eyes widened. The Lord of Soul Beasts! They really wanted to see her too. Then Ning Rongrong asked again:
"What happened back then? Did Bai Yu go to find that Soul Beast Lord?"
Thinking of Bai Yu's reaction at the time, Zhu Zhuqing's eyes flashed with a smile, and she shook her head at Ning Rongrong.
"Nothing happened, we just brushed past each other, but Bai Yu seemed a little nervous at the time, I don't know why."
Ning Rongrong was somewhat disappointed and muttered to herself.
"How come nothing happened? If Bai Yu ran into a friend from his past life, he should have gone to get to know her again. Why did he just let them pass each other by?"
Xiao Wu wasn't surprised and turned to Ning Rongrong, saying:
"That's normal. That person doesn't know Bai Yu and is much stronger than him. Bai Yu is probably afraid that if he goes over rashly, he'll be mistaken for someone trying to pick them up and get killed on the spot, right?"
Zhu Zhuqing's eyes flashed as she thought of a question and looked at Xiao Wu.
"Xiao Wu, besides transforming and cultivating again, can your soul beasts also transform into human form? Since Bai Yu said that the Silver Dragon King has a true form, then it shouldn't be a transformation and cultivation again."
Xiao Wu looked completely bewildered. This question touched on a blind spot in her knowledge, and she could only manage a barely passable answer:
"I don't know either! Oh dear, the time for the Soul Battle is almost here, let's hurry up and register, and find Teacher Zhao and the others!"
…
By the time the three arrived, Tang San had already gone to compete in the individual matches.
"Did you register? Why are you so late? You can't even play the doubles match anymore. What were you doing all this time?"
When Zhao Wuji saw the three of them, he complained loudly and irritably.
Seeing that everyone in the private room was staring at them, the three of them looked a little embarrassed. Ning Rongrong whispered:
"Oh, it's a girl's little secret. Besides, I dragged Zhuqing to sign up for the doubles competition. She's good at it!"
Bai Yu shook his head. Ning Rongrong was all soft-spoken, but she was stubborn.
(TL: where tf is she soft spoken?)
"Alright, since you're here, get yourself together and get ready for the Soul Battle. But Rongrong, the chances of you winning in a duo match with Little Cat are slim."
When Bai Yu said they couldn't win, Ning Rongrong's eyes widened in dissatisfaction.
"How could we possibly lose! I don't believe it, Zhuqing, do you think we can win?"
Zhu Zhuqing turned her head to the side, and Bai Yu looked at Ning Rongrong, who was jumping up and down, and grinned.
Ning Rongrong was shocked that her best friend didn't support her, and that Bai Yu was even mocking her. She was so angry that she started swearing oaths and talking nonsense.
Because the three girls registered late, everyone else had already finished their solo battles and were waiting for the duo battles to begin before Xiao Wu went on stage. Zhu Zhuqing was even later; Xiao Wu had already finished her battle when the waiter came to greet her.
After Zhu Zhuqing followed the waiter out of the private room, Zhao Wuji's expression shifted, and he asked Bai Yu:
"Young man, this morning you took that little girl to your room to teach her something, how's it going?"
Bai Yu toyed with a cup of tea in his hand, taking sips now and then, watching with great interest as the novices fought each other in the Soul Arena.
Hearing Zhao Wuji's question, he turned around and saw everyone looking at him curiously. The probing look in Yu Xiaogang's eyes made him twitch his lips and roll his eyes.
"What can you learn in just one day? If everyone were that eager to learn, they would all be experts. But I did give her something else that should surprise you."
Bai Yu's words piqued everyone's curiosity, and they all looked out the window, wanting to know how to give them a fright.
But after searching around, everyone was puzzled. They couldn't find Zhu Zhuqing at the Great Soul Master Arena. Where did she go?
"The person is over there; you've looked to the wrong place."
Upon hearing Bai Yu's voice, everyone looked in the direction he pointed, their pupils instantly shrinking to the size of pinpoints.
"How did Zhuqing become a Soul Elder? Wasn't she level 27 before? How did she level up three times in one day?"
Xiao Wu exclaimed in surprise. As soon as she entered the room, she saw everyone staring out the window like wooden statues. She also looked out curiously.
"It's not a three-level upgrade, it's a ten-level upgrade. The kitten is now level 37."
Bia Yu's exclamation woke everyone up. They had just regained their senses when they heard Bai Yu's words, and their expressions completely became uncontrollable.
"Impossible, absolutely impossible! How could she level up ten times in one day? Did you teach her some kind of secret technique that overdraws her body? You're definitely harming her!"
Yu Xiaogang jumped up, his old face contorted with rage, convinced that Bai Yu had taught Zhu Zhuqing a secret technique that drained her body.
Bai Yu was somewhat surprised. He noticed that Yu Xiaogang's legs seemed a bit off. His right leg was stiff and a little shorter than his left leg.
However, he didn't pay much attention, assuming that Yu Xiaogang had just been too shocked and had a cramp. He glanced at him and said casually:
"It's hard for me to explain to you with your understanding. To put it simply, I gave her three things."
"One pair of external soul bones that helped the kitten level up by one level, and two a rare and precious Daffodil Jade Flesh Bone which helped her level up by eight levels, and three absorbing a soul ring helped her level up by one level. That's how it is."
"Daffodil Jade Flesh Bone!!!"
Before Yu Xiaogang could speak, Tang San shoved him aside, exclaimed in surprise, and stared intently at Bai Yu.
Supported by Liu Erlong, Yu Xiaogang blocked Liu Erlong from getting angry and asked Tang San:
"Xiao San, do you know what this 'Daffodil Jade Flesh Bone' is? Is it a drug that overdraws the body's potential?"
Yu Xiaogang's question made Tang San's eyes flash with disdain. He thought to himself, "As expected, you're a piece of trash. No wonder Bai Yu doesn't want to talk to you!"
He then took a deep breath, his eyes filled with envy and longing, and explained:
"Daffodil Jade Flesh Bone, is an Immortal herb! This thing should only exist in heaven, and is rarely heard of in the mortal world! Eating it nourishes the muscles and bones and clears the meridians!"
"If this is indeed a precious item, it's perfectly normal for Zhu Zhuqing to increase her soul power by eight levels. Not only will it not damage her body, but it will also replenish her foundation and improve her aptitude."
"This is the 'great opportunity' that Brother Bai mentioned before, the one that one's innate physical aptitude cannot be improved without a great stroke of luck!"
