Douluo Dalu: Rise of Blue Silver Emperor

Notting Academy – Afternoon

The sun was high in the sky, casting a golden hue over Notting Academy's training grounds. After defeating Tang San, Tang Xuan had become the most talked-about student in the academy.

And two particular girls had taken an interest in him.

Xiao Wu's Curiosity

Xiao Wu had always been playful and confident, but today, her curiosity was piqued.

She had seen how effortlessly Tang Xuan defeated Tang San.

"How could another Blue Silver Grass user be this strong?"

She didn't believe in coincidences. There was something different about Tang Xuan, and she wanted to find out what.

She found him meditating under a tree, his vines slowly absorbing sunlight, refining spirit energy through his unique cultivation method.

"Hey! Tang Xuan, right?" Xiao Wu called out, standing before him with her hands on her hips.

Tang Xuan opened his eyes, raising an eyebrow. "And you are?"

Xiao Wu pouted. "You don't know me? I'm the strongest student here!"

Tang Xuan smirked. "Oh? But I don't remember you defeating Tang San."

Xiao Wu blinked, then grinned. "He's my lackey. Why would I need to beat him?"

She plopped down beside him, leaning closer. "How did you do it? Your Blue Silver Grass isn't normal."

Tang Xuan chuckled. "And why should I tell you?"

Xiao Wu's eyes sparkled mischievously. "Because I'm cute?"

Tang Xuan laughed. This girl was interesting.

Ning Rongrong's Arrival

Just as Xiao Wu was about to press further, another voice cut in.

"I'd like to know as well."

Both turned to see Ning Rongrong, the young miss of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, walking towards them.

Unlike Xiao Wu, who was playful and open, Ning Rongrong exuded an air of nobility.

Tang Xuan had expected her to ignore commoners like him, yet here she was, approaching him willingly.

She stopped a few steps away, crossing her arms. "Your Blue Silver Grass… I don't believe it's normal. You did something to it, didn't you?"

Tang Xuan met her gaze calmly. "And if I did?"

Ning Rongrong smiled. "Then, I want to know how. In exchange, I might just let you bask in my brilliance."

Xiao Wu rolled her eyes. "Hah! What a way to say you're interested in him."

Ning Rongrong blushed slightly but quickly regained her composure. "I'm simply curious. His techniques defy logic."

Tang Xuan chuckled. So the princess was intrigued? This could be useful.

"I don't mind sharing," he said, "but only if you prove yourselves worthy."

Xiao Wu's eyes sparkled with excitement. "A challenge?"

Ning Rongrong smirked. "How interesting."
