Douluo: Starts from blowing up the spirit ring

"Shameless!"

When Su Xing heard this, Zhu Zhuqing realized the thickness of his skin once again, immediately ignored him, and turned away.

As Su Xing watched Zhu Zhuqing's back, his eyes were drawn to the swaying hips. Especially the tail-like decorative streamer behind her, it had a unique charm!

Looking at Zhu Zhuqing's retreating figure, Su Xing's heart stirred once again, and the discomfort after the murder was cleared.

'Oh yeah damn... Damn boi, THAT'S A THICC ASS!'

Su Xing chuckled to himself, unsure if he was being self-deprecating or proud, and then followed Zhu Zhuqing again.

"Stop following me!"

"This road isn't yours. You go your way, and I'll go mine."

"Hmph!"

"…"

If it weren't for how powerful Su Xing was, Zhu Zhuqing might have attacked him already.

Frustrated, Zhu Zhuqing had no choice but to pretend Su Xing didn't exist, completely ignoring him.

This was clearly her way of rejecting him, but she also seemed curious about how long Su Xing would persist.

...

Su Xing was amazed by Zhu Zhuqing's endurance, as she truly ignored him for two entire days.

Zhu Zhuqing was incredibly patient. Su Xing cracked countless jokes, but she remained expressionless the entire time. She was really not giving him a chance!

If the prize in front of him weren't so tempting, Su Xing might have already given up. Persistence was just one method, but Su Xing wasn't the type to grovel indefinitely.

If there truly was no hope, he would definitely walk away. It's not like Zhu Zhuqinq is the only woman on the continent.

In any case, Su Xing had already informed his family through their store that he had left without notice!

Within the Heaven Dou Empire and several nearby kingdoms, nearly every town had a branch of Su's business. Even in Spirit City and the Star Luo Empire, there were some Su family branches.

Of course, they were all small businesses, but the network was quite extensive.

Su Xing knew the map of the Douluo Continent well and was able to find the city of Nuoding where Yu Xiaogang was when he was only six.

"I'm in the Balak Kingdom now, and it seems I'll reach Shrek Academy in two days!"

"Well, I might as well check it out!"

Thinking of how close he was to Shrek Academy, Su Xing decided to visit. Of course, he planned to take the entrance exam but didn't intend to join the academy.

Yu Xiaogang would be arriving soon, but Su Xing wasn't interested in being taught by him anymore.

Su Xing hadn't fully researched the spirit system before, relying on the anime's depiction of Yu Xiaogang's theories. But after doing his deep research, Su Xing realized Yu Xiaogang's theories weren't as groundbreaking as they seemed.

For example, the idea that "there are no useless martial spirits, only useless soul masters" was as naive and ridiculous as claiming there are no useless devil fruits, only useless users.

Yu Xiaogang himself was proof that useless martial spirits exist.

Su Xing dared to question those theories.

Of course, Su Xing wouldn't speak out now. He wasn't strong enough yet, and voicing such opinions would only make him look foolish.

Meanwhile, Zhu Zhuqing hadn't expected Su Xing to persist for two whole days, continuing to follow her.

"Let me tell you, it's impossible for us. I already have a fiancé!" Zhu Zhuqing finally stopped, turning to face Su Xing out of desperation.

She wasn't lying about the engagement, though she didn't want to be involved with Su Xing either.

"I don't believe you. You're just making up an excuse to make me give up, aren't you?" Su Xing shook his head, clearly indicating he didn't believe her.

"Even if it's true, that's no reason for me to stop liking you. There's still a chance before you're married!" Even after marriage, it wasn't impossible. But Su Xing wisely refrained from saying that last part, as it would only taint Zhu Zhuqing's opinion of him.

She probably couldn't comprehend such a notion at this moment.

"You... you're impossible..." Zhu Zhuqing was taken aback by Su Xing's response and became frustrated again.

"Can you please stop following me? I really have a fiancé. I'm going to meet him now, and I don't want him to misunderstand!" Zhu Zhuqing's voice was tinged with annoyance and pleading.

"Do you really have a fiancé?" Su Xing raised an eyebrow.

"Yes!" Seeing that Su Xing might actually believe her, Zhu Zhuqing nodded earnestly.

"Fine, but can you at least tell me your name? I've been pursuing you for two days and still don't know it!" Su Xing sighed in mock defeat.

Zhu Zhuqing was again left speechless. Pursuing for two days? It felt like he was implying it had been much longer.

But she didn't dare to complain, only wanting to be rid of him quickly.

"My name is Zhu Zhuqing, from the Star Luo Empire!" Zhu Zhuqing said, hoping this would finally deter Su Xing. She even added that she was from a different empire to distance herself.

"The Star Luo Empire!"

"Zhu Zhuqing, martial spirit Netherworld Cat, I know you!"

Hearing Zhu Zhuqing's words, Su Xing acted surprised, as if he were connecting the dots.

He was, of course, just pretending.

"You know me?" Zhu Zhuqing was genuinely surprised. She didn't expect someone from the Heaven Dou Empire to recognize her.

"Yeah, my family has business branches in the Star Luo Empire, and I like to collect information, so I know a lot about it."

"To think you might be the future queen of the Star Luo Empire... no wonder you're so beautiful!"

"But it's a pity. Dai Mubai, the prince of the Star Luo Empire and your fiancé, has given up on the royal competition and fled!"

"Dai Mubai's the one you're going to meet, right? A cowardly prince who abandoned you?"

Su Xing's tone was dripping with disdain as he spoke.

"You're not allowed to talk about him that way! He didn't give up—he's just avoiding the competition for now to improve himself!"

Zhu Zhuqing immediately snapped back, her voice filled with anger.

She could criticize Dai Mubai herself, but she wouldn't allow others to do so.

At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing still cared about Dai Mubai. Otherwise, she wouldn't have come looking for him.

Truthfully, hearing Zhu Zhuqing defend Dai Mubai left Su Xing bitter.

How could that scoundrel Dai Mubai deserve her?

Su Xing had felt this way ever since watching the anime, detesting Dai Mubai's playboy nature.

Yes, Dai Mubai was a playboy, likely involved with twin sisters at this very moment!

Zhu Zhuqing would eventually discover this and hold it against him for a long time.

Maybe Su Xing could use this to his advantage.

"Alright, I won't speak ill of him anymore."

"But I still don't believe he's just avoiding the competition to improve. Let's go together, and if he really is doing as you say, then I'll give up!"

"But if not, then he doesn't deserve you!"

Su Xing decided that first, Zhu Zhuqing needed to see Dai Mubai's true character.
