Chapter 447: Chapter 447: Maybe He Got Lost ?
...
"What 'seems like it?' It actually is!" Seeing Zhu Zhuqing's somewhat blank expression, Ning Rongrong asserted confidently.
"So what? Are we going to visit Shrek Academy now?"
Zhu Zhuqing finished the remaining noodles in her dish and wiped her mouth with a handkerchief.
"Of course! Didn't we make a promise back then? To meet again at Shrek Academy after five years. If everyone else shows up and it's just the two of us missing, how embarrassing would that be?"
This so-called five-year promise was made by the Shrek Seven Devils when the spirit fighting tournament concluded. They all agreed to disperse and cultivate individually, then reunite at Shrek Academy after five years.
However, the situation at that time was also very complicated. After making the promise, the incident with Xiao Wu being a spirit beast and being captured by the Spirit Hall had occurred.
In the end, Xiao Wu and Tang San were taken away by Tang San's father, the Clear Sky Douluo, in the chaos.
The remaining few people, Dai Mubai, the Captain of the Shrek Seven Devils, returned to the Star Luo Empire alone.
Ma Hongjun stayed in Shrek Academy since he was Dean Flender's personal disciple and naturally wanted to help Dean Flender manage the academy properly.
Oscar didn't stay at the academy and went out on his own for training.
As for the last two, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, Ning Rongrong was the princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, and Zhu Zhuqing was also the disciple of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan's Bone Douluo. Naturally, the two returned to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan.
However, the two of them didn't stay in the sect for long and ventured out together to gain experience, up until now.
"Should we go back?" Zhu Zhuqing muttered, her eyes unconsciously filled with memories.
She never thought that time would pass so quickly. Five years had flown by, and when she looked back on the past, those events felt like they had happened just yesterday.
"Of course! It's been so long since we last saw them. I wonder how they're doing now, and how much they've changed!" As she spoke, Ning Rongrong's mind conjured up the faces of her former comrades and teachers, and she couldn't help but feel excited.
"And when we all gather, they'll definitely be amazed by your changes! It's been five years, and Zhuqing, you're already at the Spirit Emperor level. Maybe even Tang San's spirit power level won't be comparable to yours!" Ning Rongrong exclaimed.
"It's just luck, besides, aren't you a Level 59 Spirit King? You'll soon break through to the Spirit Emperor level too." Faced with Ning Rongrong's praises, Zhu Zhuqing's expression didn't show any ripples. Her eyes were calm and serene, as if she were discussing a trivial matter.
It's worth noting that even after five years, Zhu Zhuqing was only nineteen years old.
A nineteen-year-old Spirit Emperor would shock the world and challenge people's worldview if word got out on the continent. It's because even the geniuses of the previous generation in the Heaven Dou Empire, known as the Golden Generation, were only at the Spirit King level at this age.
Yet Zhu Zhuqing had surpassed them by a large realm. Such talent was truly monstrous!
However, for Zhu Zhuqing, it wasn't a big deal. She knew that her cultivation talent was completely due to the Immortal Herb from back then. It had changed her life.
Five years had brought about many changes for them.
Not only in terms of experience, but also in character. They were no longer the naive students they once were at the academy.
The most obvious change was in their spirit power levels.
Zhu Zhuqing was now a level 64 Spirit Emperor, making her a powerful expert in the world of spirit masters.
As for Ning Rongrong, her spirit power improvement fell a bit behind, only being at the 59th level. However, she was just one step away from the Spirit Emperor realm.
Moreover, her Martial Spirit was an upgraded version of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. As the strongest auxiliary Martial Spirit on the continent, its effect surpassed that of a Spirit Saint with seven rings even with her Level 59 spirit power.
After years of partnership, the coordination between Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing had become increasingly seamless. Together, they could handle even Spirit Douluo level spirit masters without much trouble.
At present, they were already strong spirit masters who could stand on their own in this brutal world of spirit masters on the continent.
"I really want to see Dean Flender, Teacher Erlong, and the others soon." Ning Rongrong rested her cheeks on her hands, with her elbows on the table, her eyes sparkling with anticipation.
"Do you think he will come?"
Just then, a melancholy sigh came from across the table, shattering Ning Rongrong's fantasy.
Zhu Zhuqing mentioned him, and Ning Rongrong naturally knew who this person was.
"Who knows? Hmph." Ning Rongrong couldn't help but snort in discontent. Whenever she thought of him, resentment filled her heart.
"After escaping from the Spirit Hall back then, we haven't heard any news about him since. It's almost five years now, and we've been to the places he might have gone, but we couldn't find any information about him. It's as if a small pebble has sunk into the sea." Ning Rongrong grumbled unhappily.
For these years, the two of them, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, had traveled almost the entire continent. They had been to the Star Luo Empire, the Heaven Dou Empire, and even the village where Zeng Yi was born, but they hadn't been able to find any trace of Zeng Yi.
Snap!
A loud slap on the table echoed through the restaurant as Ning Rongrong couldn't understand it. Suddenly, she stood up from her seat, slammed her palm hard on the table, and vented her frustrations.
"Damn guy, where did he hide!"
Ning Rongrong's roar caused everyone in the restaurant to cast their gazes towards their table.
Feeling embarrassed with all the attention on them, Ning Rongrong awkwardly sat back down.
On the other hand, Zhu Zhuqing's face was pensive.
"Rongrong, do you think he might have gotten lost?"
"Lost?"
Hearing this, Ning Rongrong widened her eyes in surprise, looking at Zhu Zhuqing who had a serious expression.
Seeing Ning Rongrong's astonished look, Zhu Zhuqing nodded.
"Yes, lost in the Spirit Beast Forest."
Upon hearing Zhu Zhuqing's words, Ning Rongrong couldn't help but recall a secret that Zeng Yi had shared with them in the past.
This secret, even to this day, was fresh in their memories.
Frowning, Ning Rongrong pondered seriously and felt that it was indeed a possibility.
"You're right. After all, back then, he got lost in the Sunset Forest and stayed there for six years. This time, it's possible that he got lost in the forest again after upgrading himself and obtaining spirit rings." As Ning Rongrong realized this, she suddenly felt enlightened, feeling like a genius.
"No wonder we couldn't find any information about him. He's been trapped in the Spirit Beast Forest! Hahaha, what a fool!" Ning Rongrong burst into laughter.
"In that case, should we go and search in the Spirit Beast Forest?" Zhu Zhuqing's mind couldn't help but entertain this idea, and she spoke to Ning Rongrong.
