Zhu Zhuqing stepped forward and said to Kai, "Rongrong sent me. I want to gain the strength to defeat Dai Mubai."
Kai clapped his hands, "You are certainly welcome. The Spirit Hall Team currently doesn't have suitable candidates. With the two of you, the team should be complete."
The original Golden Generation, meaning Hu Liena and the other two, plus Ning Rongrong, Zhu Zhuqing, Dugu Yan, and Kai, would form a complete team. Wouldn't that be enough to make Shrek's members give up?
Afterward, Ning Fengzhi left, while Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing stayed in Spirit City. This was naturally the task Bibi Dong had given Kai: to help the two of them quickly familiarize themselves with Spirit Hall... "Rongrong, after consuming the Beautiful Silk Tulip, what is your spirit power level now?" Kai asked.
"After you helped me obtain my third spirit ring, my spirit power continued to increase. Now it's at level thirty-seven. The medicinal power of that Beautiful Silk Tulip is truly too strong. Now I'm not far from becoming a Soul Ancestor." Ning Rongrong replied.
Zhu Zhuqing listened to Ning Rongrong's change in strength, and a hint of surprise flashed across her cold face.
When Ning Rongrong first enrolled, her spirit power was almost the same as hers.
But now, just by consuming an Immortal Herb, such a large gap had opened up?
"Level thirty-seven, not bad. With the help of Spirit Hall's simulated Cultivation grounds, you should be able to Breakthrough to Soul Ancestor very quickly."
Immediately, Kai said to Zhu Zhuqing, "Since you've chosen to join Spirit Hall, I naturally won't be stingy. However, to gain strength, you naturally need to pay a certain price, you understand."
Zhu Zhuqing was stunned, and she looked up at Kai with some confusion.
But when she saw Kai's ill-intentioned gaze, she seemed to understand everything. Her fists unconsciously clenched, her fingernails seemingly digging deep into her flesh.
She was hesitating.
From the current situation, perhaps Kai truly could give her the strength to defeat Dai Mubai, to defeat fate.
However, was the price she needed to pay truly something she could accept?
...At night, Kai was about to start writing his diary when he heard someone knocking on his door. He walked towards the door, feeling puzzled.
"Who would be looking for me so late?"
Kai opened the door in confusion, only to find it was Zhu Zhuqing. At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing was not wearing her usual tight-fitting clothes that perfectly showcased her fiery figure, but rather a loose nightgown, and she looked at Kai with a bashful expression.
"Huh? What are you doing?"
Kai was utterly confused.
We've only met a few times, and you're already throwing yourself into my arms?
Although I, Kai, am not some hooligan, I am definitely not a gentleman!
If you act like this, I won't be polite!
"No... didn't you say that if I wanted to gain strength, I would have to pay a price...?"
Zhu Zhuqing seemed to realize that she had misunderstood Kai's meaning, so by the end, her entire face turned red, and her voice became so soft that only she could hear it... Kai's face was full of black lines as he explained, "What I meant was that you are currently about to reach the Soul Elder level. To achieve a Breakthrough in a short period, you naturally need to pay a small price, such as a more dangerous simulated Cultivation ground."
"Once you reach the Soul Elder level, I will give you the Immortal Herb that is suitable for you. Only then will you be able to achieve the greatest improvement."
Zhu Zhuqing: "..."
Kai chuckled, "But if you're so impatient, I don't mind. After all, a beauty visiting late at night, if nothing happens, wouldn't it spread that I'm not capable?"
"You... I..."
Zhu Zhuqing ran off, her face red.
Kai shrugged and closed the door.
"This Zhu Zhuqing seems like an ice queen beauty. I never would have thought she would think I meant that. Am I that kind of person?"
Kai lay on the bed, feeling quite helpless.
But then, Kai reacted.
He immediately slapped himself... "No, I, am I an idiot!? I rejected such a good thing?"
That night, Kai was filled with regret.
He had no desire to write his diary either.
One day of missed updates, and the readers waiting for diary updates had already started sending razor blades... The next morning, on the huge training ground of Spirit Hall, Kai, Ning Rongrong, and Zhu Zhuqing arrived. Not long after they arrived, Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and Yan also came.
Kai was not familiar with Xie Yue and Yan, but he had a good relationship with Hu Liena. After all, they were both Disciples of Bibi Dong, one being the Holy Son of Spirit Hall and the other the Holy Maiden of Spirit Hall.
"Kai, it's been a long time since I last saw you." Hu Liena greeted Kai.
"I went out to do something." Kai smiled and nodded.
Then, Kai introduced Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing to Hu Liena and the other two. Although the two girls' strength was not as good as Hu Liena's group, their advantage was their young age and plenty of time.
"What? Form a new Spirit Hall Team? What about the three people who were originally arranged?" Yan asked in confusion.
"Naturally, they'll be kicked out. Do you have any objections?"
Kai glanced at Yan. He didn't have a good impression of this guy. In fact, Yan had secretly caused trouble for Kai before, because Kai and Hu Liena were too close.
Kai couldn't be bothered with such a clown.
If there weren't any suitable candidates at the moment, he would have kicked Yan out too.
"Currently, there are six of us. There's one more who is currently in the Heaven Dou Empire, and I will bring her over later. Hu Liena, your three's Cultivation will be according to your own requirements; I won't interfere."
Kai said, then he looked at Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing.
When he saw Zhu Zhuqing, Kai noticed the unnatural expression on her face, but he didn't pay attention. He said to the two of them, "I'll take you to the simulated Cultivation ground. Rongrong, Spirit Hall has a simulated Cultivation ground specifically for support system Soul Masters. You can Cultivate there and quickly raise your spirit power to level forty."
"As for Zhuqing, your Cultivation might be a bit harder, and injuries are common. This is the price I mentioned. There shouldn't be any problem, right?"
Zhu Zhuqing didn't hesitate, she nodded, then walked towards the simulated Cultivation ground without looking back.
Watching the two of them enter the Cultivation ground, Kai sighed, "This simulated Cultivation ground is still too poor. I wonder if there's a way to get a more efficient Cultivation ground later. That way, we can better improve our overall strength."
"But I've never heard of such a thing. Perhaps I can ask Bibi Dong when I have time; she might know."
