Chapter 72: Hao Tian Clan Is Shaken, Must Slay the Enemy by Hand (4000)_3

"Why didn't you train with Zhao Wuji this morning?"

Qin Xiao asked, puzzled.

Normally, Zhu Zhuqing wouldn't start her Tempest Body Refinement until the afternoon.

"Because today is a special day, Teacher Zhao told me to come find you directly."

Zhu Zhuqing said, her beautiful face blooming with a smile as precious as a snow lotus on an iceberg.

What are you grinning at? Qin Xiao didn't understand.

But, the next moment, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

Because the soul power fluctuation emanating from Zhu Zhuqing surprised him.

"Eh, you've actually broken through to level 30?"

Qin Xiao was surprised, "Normally speaking, you would still need a few days to break through, right?"

Indeed, with the help of Tempest Body Refinement, Zhu Zhuqing had, in such a short period of time, consecutively broken through four levels of Soul Power to reach level 30.

Of course, such an increase in strength didn't come from nowhere; Zhu Zhuqing had endured immense pain.

To put it simply, her effort was so heart-wrenching.

Yet, Qin Xiao had never gone easy on her during the training.

He knew that being soft-hearted was doing Zhu Zhuqing a disservice.

At this moment, Zhu Zhuqing still couldn't contain her joy, "Hee hee, indeed I would've needed a few more days, but after I returned from your place yesterday, I suddenly gained an insight, and I broke through unconsciously..."

"So that's how it is."

Qin Xiao nodded, "It seems that you're not only hardworking, but also quite lucky."

"Of course, it's the greatest honor of my life to be favored by Your Highness," Zhu Zhuqing said blissfully.

On the other hand, after hearing Zhu Zhuqing's words, Qin Xiao couldn't help but shake his head with a chuckle, "Your sweet talk is as if you've spread honey on your lips, did Zhao Wuji also say that I should help you hunt for a Soul Ring?"

"Um... Teacher Zhao indeed said so," Zhu Zhuqing admitted somewhat sheepishly as she fiddled with the corner of her clothes.

Qin Xiao said, "That's no problem, I was planning to take a trip to the Sunset Forest to check if there are any crops to harvest, to see if Du Gu Bo that fellow has been taking more than his share."

However.

Zhu Zhuqing appeared utterly surprised after hearing Qin Xiao's words, "Does Your Highness mean to say that you've been planting vegetables in a forest where soul beasts roam?

And the Poison Douluo Du Gu Bo is tending to them?"

But isn't Du Gu Bo a distinguished guest at the Prince's Mansion?

That's quite preposterous.

...

Meanwhile.

The Shrek group had already assembled.

To put it simply, those who had gathered were Dai Mubai, Ma Hongjun, and Oscar.

"Teacher, why hasn't Zhu Qing come today?"

Dai Mubai asked, puzzled.

Ning Rongrong was an exception, being the young miss of the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect, Dai Mubai clearly understood she was not to be trifled with.

He could only fix his attention on Zhu Zhuqing. Of course, that was all he could do.

"Zhu Zhuqing broke through to level 30 and has gone to hunt for a Soul Ring."

"Today, it's just the three of you practicing," Teacher Zhao said indifferently.

"Oh, level 30..."

"Went to hunt for a soul, huh...."

Dai Mubai and the others nodded initially without much thought.

But, the next moment, they came to a sudden realization.

"Wait a minute!"

"Teacher Zhao, did you say Zhu Qing is at level 30 and hunting for soul rings?"

"How old is she, to be at level 30 already?"

"What's more, she was only level 26 when she enrolled, how much time has passed since then, and she's already level 30?"

The three of them were a mix of shock and disbelief.

They knew about Zhu Zhuqing's talent; it was considered the least remarkable among the people of Shrek.

But this current rate of strength improvement was too fast, wasn't it?

It felt almost unreal!
