Ning Rongrong: Why Is Xiao Chen So Fierce?

"Hmm?"

Seeing that Ling Yusong seemed ready to reveal his identity, Ning Rongrong narrowed her eyes, hostility filling them.

Seeing this, Ling Yusong immediately chose to back down.

"Ahem. I wasn't planning to go back on my word. Since he defeated Mubai, all the registration fees naturally belong to him."

"Our Shrek Academy has always kept its word."

This concerned the young mistress of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, as well as a young man who was very likely to become the Sect's son-in-law.

He could not afford to offend either of them.

As for what came next, that would depend on how the headmaster handled it.

"Ah? Mmph..."

Dai Mubai immediately looked displeased and wanted to say something.

But before he could get the words out, Ling Yusong stuffed the shriveled money pouch from the table into his mouth.

You provoked the young mistress of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, this living ancestor, and you still wanted to argue?

Dai Mubai, be a decent person. Stop acting like a dog!

"Hmph! That money was Xiao Chen's to begin with. Did he need you to give it to him? You attacked this young mistress just now. Tell me, how are you going to settle this!"

Seeing that Dai Mubai still dared to talk back, Ning Rongrong spoke again, looking as though she would not let this matter end easily today.

Because of her agitation, Xiao Chen's arm kept swaying between her breasts.

The sensation was subtle, putting Xiao Chen in an excellent mood. He was in no hurry at all, calmly enjoying the jelly-like softness.

"I..."

Ling Yusong had a terrible headache.

For a moment, the entire place fell silent. Everyone stared at Ling Yusong.

"Mmm~"

At some point, Ning Rongrong, who had been pressed against Xiao Chen's arm, finally felt something. Her moist lips parted slightly, and she instinctively let out a soft sound.

The sudden change made Ning Rongrong hurriedly cover her mouth, then pretend to fix her hair.

Only then did she realize that she and Xiao Chen had been acting far too intimately.

The next moment, Ning Rongrong hurriedly leaned back slightly, moving her chest away from Xiao Chen's arm, yet without looking the least bit distant from him.

After all, the matter below had yet to be resolved.

Anyone who offended Ning Rongrong would suffer terribly!

However, Ning Rongrong's heart was already pounding wildly, like a startled deer. She did not dare look at Xiao Chen.

Although Xiao Chen noticed, he pretended not to and stepped forward at just the right moment.

"Rongrong, don't be afraid. Leave the rest to me."

"Mmm~"

Ning Rongrong nodded slightly and lowered her head without saying another word, afraid that the flush on her face would make Xiao Chen misunderstand.

"Senior, how about you spar with me? If we do that, we'll let this matter go. What do you say?"

"Fine."

Ling Yusong agreed at once, then looked at Ning Rongrong.

As though afraid she would refuse, he added another guarantee.

"And I'll only use my First Soul Skill. I'll stay where I am and defend. I definitely won't hurt him."

He had to remove himself from this mess first.

As for the academy, he would leave that to the headmaster. When facing the young mistress of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, his status was too low for his words to carry any weight.

As for whether he was being overconfident?

Impossible.

His First Soul Skill was extremely powerful, capable of increasing his attack by 200%. Combined with the Soul Power of a Six-ring Soul Emperor, Xiao Chen was only a level 39 Three-ring Soul Master with one Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Skill.

Even if all three of Xiao Chen's Soul Rings were Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Rings, Ling Yusong would not be injured!

"This... fine then. Hmph!"

Ning Rongrong frowned at first, then agreed.

She was also very curious about just how strong Xiao Chen really was.

"Senior, then I'll begin."

At once, the three Soul Rings around Xiao Chen began trembling violently.

He knew Ling Yusong's First Soul Skill was formidable and could increase his attack by 200%.

But so what?

Ling Yusong's Soul Skill was powerful, but Xiao Chen's Soul Skills were even stronger!

"Hahaha, Xiao Chen is finished! Even if Teacher Ling Yusong only uses his First Soul Skill, it'll be enough to make Xiao Chen suffer badly!"

Seeing that Xiao Chen had actually agreed, Dai Mubai, who had just climbed up from the ground, was instantly delighted.

Tang San frowned slightly.

"Trash, what are you barking about? Are you sure that old man will be fine?"

"Ugly bastard, don't worry. Xiao Chen is definitely going to suffer, I said so! If Xiao Chen doesn't lose, I'll shave my head bald and apologize to you. Oh, and stop calling me trash. I'm damn fierce in that department."

"Fine, trash."

Tang San nodded.

"Come, sword!"

Before everyone's eyes, Xiao Chen stepped onto the God Slaying Sword and looked down at everyone from above.

He slowly raised his right hand, formed a sword hand, and locked onto Ling Yusong. The First Soul Ring on the God Slaying Sword lit up as well.

First Soul Skill, Human Sword Unity!

Full power!

"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh..."

In an instant, dense sword qi erupted madly under Xiao Chen's control, attacking Ling Yusong and surrounding him completely.

"A thousand-year Soul Skill?"

Ling Yusong frowned.

Xiao Chen's First Soul Ring did not seem to be disguised. Judging from the power of this Soul Skill, it had to be at least eight or nine thousand years old!

Damn it.

Dai Mubai, you set your teacher up again!

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Though he desperately wanted to beat Dai Mubai, Ling Yusong still swung the Dragon Pattern Staff in his hand, shattering every sword qi strike trying to get close.

But after breaking the final sword qi, his hand trembled slightly.

His hand was going numb from the blows!

At that moment, Ling Yusong's heart was filled with shock.

Could this brat's First Soul Ring actually be a Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Ring?

To avoid hurting Xiao Chen, he had only used Soul Power at level 51 just now.

Yet he had actually found it somewhat strenuous!

If this had been any Four-ring Soul Master, they would probably have been injured in a single exchange. Anyone with weak defenses would have been severely wounded outright.

Most importantly, this brat still had two unused Soul Rings...

"Second move."

Xiao Chen raised his sword hand before his face, then flicked it sharply, pointing through the air at Ling Yusong's Dragon Pattern Staff.

The Second Soul Ring around him burst into radiant light.

"Clang! Clang! Clang..."

In an instant, countless dark-red sword qi appeared out of thin air, covering the area where Ling Yusong stood in the blink of an eye.

An invisible pressure bore down directly on Ling Yusong. His Dragon Pattern Staff, in particular, was heavily suppressed.

Along with it came an inexplicable sense of danger!

"That brat's attack is coming?"

"Damn it, where is it?!"

Ling Yusong, spinning at high speed, gritted his teeth anxiously and made his choice in an instant.

The next moment, the First Soul Ring around Ling Yusong lit up, and his attack power surged.

"Break!"

Immediately afterward, relying on instinct, experience, and the perception of a Soul Emperor, Ling Yusong swung the Coiling Dragon Road in his hand and smashed it viciously forward.

At the same moment, fourteen God Slaying Swords appeared before him without warning and began frantically shredding the Coiling Dragon Road.

"Clang! Clang! Clang..."

For a time, metallic clashes rang out continuously, sword qi crisscrossed, and violent airwaves rolled through the area, kicking up countless clouds of dust.

Even Ling Yusong was forced to slowly slide backward, as though he were about to be pushed back!

Seeing this, Ling Yusong directly raised his Soul Power to level 55 before barely managing to withstand it.

However, when he looked at Xiao Chen now, his eyes were already filled with caution and shock.

What terrifying attack power!

Just how much had this brat's Second Soul Skill increased his attack power?

With strength like this, this brat was probably invincible below the Five-ring realm!

"Not bad."

Seeing this, Xiao Chen was extremely satisfied.

His Second Soul Skill was called One Sword Dark Heaven Fourteen States!

After activation, it formed an area within a certain range where sword qi crisscrossed, sealing off the target's retreat while imposing suppression similar to a domain.

At the same time, Xiao Chen's next sword strike would be enhanced, manifesting fourteen God Slaying Swords that could slash through the air at any point within the area covered by sword qi.

They appeared from thin air and could not miss!

Moreover, each of the fourteen God Slaying Swords was stronger than the last.

The first sword increased attack by 10% and speed by 10%; the second increased attack by 20% and speed by 20%... and so on, until the final sword reached a terrifying 140% attack and 140% speed.

With both speed and attack power increasing, the actual power of every sword had long surpassed its percentage increase alone. That was why Ling Yusong had been so shocked.

This was precisely why Xiao Chen wanted to test the power of this Soul Skill.

Otherwise, he only needed to make the fourteen swords appear from different angles at different times, and Ling Yusong definitely would not have caught them all. He would have been utterly embarrassed.

"So, so fierce~"

Seeing Xiao Chen nearly shake a Six-ring Soul Emperor, Ning Rongrong's eyes instantly filled with a strange light.

Sword Grandpa and Bone Grandpa had indeed been right.

There was always someone stronger, always a higher sky. There truly were many geniuses on the continent!

For example, Xiao Chen. Not only was he handsome and refined, and not someone who could not move his sword when he saw a beautiful woman, but he was also powerful and made people feel safe...

She even had the illusion that Xiao Chen might truly be able to injure the Six-ring Soul Emperor below!

With such a powerful peer beside her, she, a Support Type Soul Grandmaster, felt incomparably at ease.

Ding! Ning Rongrong's favorability toward the host has increased. The host's physical attributes have increased to 28%...
