Chapter 116: Sugarman

Saras has some misunderstandings about the relationship between Ning Rongrong and Wang Xing and Qian Renxue. However, he is correct in one aspect: Ning Fengzhi is the only person who is completely kept in the dark.
Regardless of whether it's Tang San, Xue Beng, Ning Rongrong, or Salas, they all have some understanding of the truth behind the conspiracy of the entire Douluo Continent. Only Ning Fengzhi, he didn't notice any of the major events happening behind the scenes, still immersed in the thriving scene of the Douluo Continent, even worse than his daughter.
As Salas was secretly delighted, cheers suddenly came from the audience: "Dai God! Dai God!"
These cheers were naturally because Dai Mubai had gained the upper hand. In a soul master battle, even one or two small levels difference made a huge gap, not to mention the difference between a Soul King and a Soul Ancestor? Even though Dai Mubai's fifth soul skill "White Tiger Meteor Shower" was not powerful in a one-on-one fight, it didn't stop him from pinning down Yu Tianxin and attacking her.
In fact, Dai Mubai didn't really want this fifth soul skill. He had plenty of better options. Unfortunately, he had to make do with this soul ring due to his rushed breakthrough and the need to participate in the competition on time.
If he doesn't cooperate now, he may never get the chance to cooperate when facing the Star Luo Team. Da Ming Bai is clear about this decision.
The miracle of an on-the-spot explosion is unlikely to happen, at least not to poor Yu Tian Xin. As a result, under Da Ming Bai's overwhelming dominance, the whole match ended in an anticlimax.
And passionate audience members have already started discussing the question of who is stronger between "Tang God" and "Dai God".
"No matter how talented Tang God is, he is only a Soul Ancestor. But Dai God is a Soul King, definitely stronger than Tang God."
"You're talking nonsense. Tang Shen still has a second martial soul that hasn't been used!"
"Haha, if the second martial soul was useful, Tang Shen would have definitely used it just now."
"Maybe he's just hiding his true abilities..."
Audiences were chattering and discussing with each other, but Wang Xing couldn't help but fall into deep thoughts. Why didn't he become the "King God" or the "Star God" back then? Just because he couldn't defeat three opponents consecutively on the stage? There must be a big problem with this idol culture in the soul master world.
He picked a candy man from the snack pile, indignantly saying, "Tang Shen? I think it's just a little candy man..."
"Pfft." Qian Renxue couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle. This title was really undermining, perhaps it could be spread around a bit in secret, to mess with Tang San's mindset.
"Ah, finally finished comparing." Ning Rongrong stretched and yawned, "I'm going back now. I'll stay backstage with my teammates tomorrow, I won't come over anymore."
Wang Xing said, "Oh?... Alright, you really can eat, half of my stock has been eaten by you. If you come a few more times, I'm afraid you'll eat me bankrupt."
“……”
Ning Rongrong gritted her teeth and suddenly wanted to punch Wang Xing in the face.
Qian Renxue's gaze shifted, with a teasing tone: "I thought you would always be with us all the way."
Ning Rongrong raised her head, and her gaze met Qian Renxue's in mid-air, as if engaging in some kind of subtle confrontation. Wang Xing looked at the two women who were not backing down and silently swallowed the candy man in his mouth.
After a long while, Ning Rongrong calmly said: "Your Highness, please do not misunderstand. It is true that my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has no intention of playing Tang San's revenge game, but... this does not mean that I am on the same path as Your Highness."
"Is that so?" Qian Renxue's smile was gentle, as if he were truly the prince of Qinghe. "That's a pity. After all, Rongrong, you are someone I and Wang Xing have watched grow up."
"Your Highness, you were also watched over by my father as you grew up. But still..."
Ning Rongrong smiled sarcastically. She glanced at Ning Fengzhi, who was still talking confidently on the podium, with a somewhat disappointed expression. Then, she stopped speaking and quietly stood up, turned around, and walked away, leaving behind a slightly slender figure.
Qian Renxue pondered and said, "It seems that she is feeling sad. Wang Xing, who do you think should be blamed for this?"
Wang Xing protested and said, "It can't be my fault, right? It should be Your Highness's fault, no matter how you look at it."
Qianren Xue immediately frowned and stared at Wang Xing with a threatening look.
Forced to do so, Wang Xing had to change his words and said, "Okay, it's my fault, it's my fault. So, should I go catch up and comfort the sad little princess now?"
"It would be more convincing if you could take a step while saying that."
"I just said it, who knows what the situation will be like in the future? If you ask me, the attitude of the Pope and the Master towards the Heavenly Fight is really ambiguous and puzzling."
Xue Qianyin silently sipped her tea. She couldn't understand what kind of medicine the Master and Bibi Dong were selling in their gourds. However, the good news was that no matter what Bibi Dong wanted to do, she was always under the watchful gaze of the Hall of Worship. As long as Qian Dao Liu was still alive, the Hall of Worship would always have the final say.
After pondering for a while, Qianren Xue shook her head and said, "Forget it, it's useless to think too much. Let's go."
"Okay."
Wang Xing lowered his head and separated the remaining snacks and leftovers, putting them back into his personal space.
Qian Renxue looked at Wang Xing and suddenly thought of something, and said, "By the way, the nickname you gave to Tang San's little sugar figurine is quite interesting. It should be spread."
"Really? Do you think so too?" Wang Xing's eyes lit up, "I will let Zi Yi promote it properly, so that more people can share this joy."
Soon after Wang Xing and Qian Renxue left, Shrek Academy finally regrouped and began to plan the next match. As mentioned earlier, due to the under-the-table operation by the Spirit Hall, Shrek Academy's next match would take place the following day.
Tang San coughed twice weakly and said, "I am seriously injured and I won't be able to recover tomorrow with the Eight Spider Lances... How about you all? How are you doing?"
Zhu Zhuqing frowned and said, "I can't exert full strength with my left hand for the time being, so my power will probably be reduced by half tomorrow."
Meng Yi Ran said, "Both Jing Ling and I only have minor external injuries, which won't affect tomorrow's game."
Dai Mu Bai smiled and said, "I'm also in peak condition. But speaking of which, tomorrow we'll be competing against the Blazing Academy, right? Their team doesn't have any Spirit Kings, so we don't need to worry with me around, right?"
The match between Shrek Academy and Thunder Academy is the last game of the first round, so Wind God Academy and Flame Academy have already finished their match. The outcome was Wind God Academy's Wind Xi Tian finally losing to Fire Dance, gracefully giving up the spot for advancement. However, it is really hard to say if there is any personal affection between Wind Xi Tian and Fire Dance affecting this outcome.
It's funny to say, Feng Xiaotian, clearly having innate full soul power, is obsessed with practicing his self-created soul skills, and his soul power is only at level forty-seven. If he were a little more normal, I'm afraid there would be one more Soul King in this Soul Master Grand Competition.
Tang San said, "I'm pretty familiar with Huo Wu from Shrek Academy. If it's just defeating them, it shouldn't be too difficult, and it should be easier than today..."
Before Tang San could finish speaking, Ma Hongjun rushed in anxiously from outside, "Something big happened!"
Tang San frowned. Although Ma Hongjun was usually a bit out of tune, he rarely looked panicked. What happened this time?
