Douluo Dalu: The Goddesses Know My Secrets

Chao Tianxiang composed herself, her gaze turning to the remaining few people.

"What about these two young ladies?"

"My name is Ning Rongrong."

Ning Rongrong stepped forward, her small face bearing the unique pride of the Young Miss of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

"Twelve years old, level 27 support systemSpirit Grandmaster."

She raised her hand, and a colorful light gathered in her palm.

A crystal-clear Glazed Tile Pagoda slowly emerged.

"Spirit: Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda."

"Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda?!"

Chao Tianxiang exclaimed in shock.

She stared intently at the Glazed Tile Pagoda, her mind buzzing.

The direct Legacy of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, one of the Upper Three Sects!

How could someone of such status be at Shrek Academy, which she had never even heard of?

"Greetings, Senior."

Zhu Zhuqing also spoke calmly.

"Zhu Zhuqing, eleven years old, level 28 agility-attack systemSpirit Grandmaster."

Eleven years old, level 28.

Chao Tianxiang felt her heart could barely take it anymore.

She mechanically turned her head to look at Dai Mubai and the others.

"You all..."

"Tang San, twelve years old, level 29 control systemSpirit Grandmaster."

Tang San said in a deep voice, with a hint of undetectable gloom in his tone, devoid of any pride.

His pride had been shattered by Lin Qingmo and Xiao Wu.

"Dai Mubai, fifteen years old, level 38 attack systemBattle Soul Venerable."

Dai Mubai barely managed to straighten his back, his heart still unsettled by the shock of Xiao Wu’s rapid improvement.

"Oscar, fourteen years old, level 30food systemBattle Soul Venerable."

Oscar scratched his head.

"Ma Hongjun, twelve years old, level 28 attack systemSpirit Grandmaster."

Ma Hongjun chuckled.

Chao Tianxiang felt her breathing become difficult.

She had lived for so many years, seen Geniuses, seen monsters.

But a situation like this, with a group of monsters appearing together... unheard of!

Where did this Shrek Academy even spring out from?

Meng Yiran lowered her head, biting her lip, her eyes already red.

She had originally thought that reaching level 30 meant her talent was quite good.

But now... compared to this group of people, what was she?

"Grandma..."

Her voice was choked with tears.

Chao Tianxiang looked at her granddaughter’s dejected appearance, her heart aching.

She knew that the Phoenix Tail Cockscomb Snake was completely out of their reach today.

Not to mention with Zhao Wuji, a Spirit Saint, present.

Even if he wasn’t there, Yi Ran might not be able to gain an advantage against this group of Little freaks alone.

"Sigh... Yi Ran, let’s go."

She sighed, preparing to take Yi Ran away.

However—

"Wait."

Meng Yiran suddenly looked up.

She wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, her gaze becoming firm again.

Turning, she looked at Lin Qingmo.

"I still want to fight you."

"?"

Everyone was stunned.

What’s the point of fighting with such a huge gap?

"Yi Ran, don’t be silly!"

Chao Tianxiang frowned and scolded.

"Grandma, I’m not being silly."

Meng Yiran’s voice was calm, yet stubborn.

She looked at Lin Qingmo, saying word by word: "Even if I lose, I want to lose clearly."

"I don’t want to leave so confused, that way... I would look down on myself."

"..."

Lin Qingmo looked at her.

She was clearly on the verge of tears, yet she still forced herself to keep her back straight.

He smiled.

"Alright."

In the open space next to the Phoenix Tail Cockscomb Snake, the two stood facing each other.

Meng Yiran took a deep breath, and her Snake Staff Spirit appeared in her hand.

Two yellow spirit rings rose from beneath her feet.

She assumed a battle stance, her eyes sharp as blades.

"Meng Yiran, level 30Battle Soul Venerable, please enlighten me!"

Lin Qingmo, however, did nothing.

He didn’t release his Spirit, nor did he reveal his spirit rings, not even circulating his spirit power.

He just stood there casually, hands in his pockets.

Watching her calmly.

"Come on."

"..."

Meng Yiran gritted her teeth.

She felt underestimated!

She didn’t lash out, but instead transformed all her emotions into motivation for attack.

"First Spirit Ability: Snake Blade!"

She moved.

Her figure was like lightning, the Snake Staff transformed into a green streak, directly piercing towards Lin Qingmo’s chest!

This strike was fast, accurate, and ruthless!

She had used all her strength!

However—

Lin Qingmo merely turned slightly, a very small movement, timed with terrifying precision.

The Snake Staff brushed past his clothes, not even touching the fabric.

"What?!"

Meng Yiran’s pupils contracted.

She immediately changed her move, sweeping the Snake Staff horizontally, and her second spirit ring lit up!

"Second Spirit Ability: Snake Body!"

Her body twisted like a snake, changing the direction of her attack at an incredible angle.

But Lin Qingmo still didn’t move.

He just raised his right hand and gently tapped the air with his index finger.

The Snake Staff in her hand was met with a colossal force!

Meng Yiran’s face completely changed.

She finally understood why the other party didn’t even release his Spirit.

Because there was no need.

That level of timing control had reached a degree she couldn’t comprehend.

And this incredibly powerful physique.

In front of him, she was like a child waving a wooden sword in front of an adult, full of flaws, childish and ridiculous.

"..."

She gritted her teeth and charged again.

The Snake Staff danced, leaving trails of afterimages.

Stab, sweep, parry, smash... she used all her techniques, all her Spirit Abilities.

But Lin Qingmo merely sidestepped, shifted his feet, and raised his hand.

Each time, he perfectly avoided her attack.

Each time, he effortlessly neutralized her Spirit Ability.

He didn’t even move his feet more than a meter from his original spot the entire time... Three minutes later.

Meng Yiran stopped.

She was panting heavily, her forehead covered in sweat, and the hand holding the Snake Staff was trembling slightly.

Not from exhaustion.

But... despair.

She looked at Lin Qingmo—he was still calm and composed, not even his breathing was disturbed.

As if that fierce offensive just now was merely an insignificant game.

"..."

Meng Yiran lowered her head.

After a long while.

She suddenly put away her Spirit and dispersed her spirit rings.

Then, she looked up, a relieved smile on her face.

"I lost."

She said it very calmly.

"I’m completely convinced."

Everyone watched her in silence.

A trace of heartache flashed in Chao Tianxiang’s eyes, but more than that was relief.

Her granddaughter had finally grown up.

She knew that there was always someone better, and that there were always greater heights to reach.

She also knew what it meant... to be glorious even in defeat.

Meng Yiran took a deep breath.

She suddenly made a move that no one expected—she quickly walked up to Lin Qingmo.

She stood on her tiptoes and quickly kissed him on the cheek.

The soft touch was fleeting.

"..."

Lin Qingmo’s eyelids twitched.

Good heavens, the treatment Tang San received in the original work was now his.

"Lin Qingmo!"

Meng Yiran retreated a few steps, her face flushed, but her eyes were sparkling.

She looked at him and shouted loudly: "I will definitely work hard to catch up to you, just you wait!"

With that, she turned and ran.

Like a startled deer, she quickly disappeared into the depths of the forest, leaving behind only a stubborn and disheveled figure.

"Oh, this child."

Chao Tianxiang shook her head with a bitter smile.

She cupped her fists towards Zhao Wuji.

"Brother Zhao, today’s matter ends here. This Phoenix Tail Cockscomb Snake is yours."

After speaking, she also turned and left to chase after her granddaughter.
