Douluo: Bestowed Marriage Upon Ning Rongrong, Rewarded with Heaven Shading Method

"It was all this old servant's instigation, Young Master. Kill this old servant instead!"

At that moment, the kneeling White-Bearded Old Man raised his head and begged for mercy.

Rongrong, standing to the side, snorted and shot the two shameless men a glance.

With her hands on her hips, she berated them:

"You're trying to dump the blame already?"

"No way! You bullied me—don't even think about running!"

Chen Xin's expression remained calm as he lightly shook his head. He glanced at the two men, a trace of killing intent flashing in his eyes.

Under normal circumstances, if the matter had not been too serious, he truly could have shown mercy.

But this time, the two of them had seen that person. If word got back to Spirit Hall—

If the Pope found out, it would be too late for anything.

After all, the Sect Master had repeatedly stressed that this person's identity had to be kept absolutely secret!

"I've just absorbed a Soul Ring, and I happen to need two sparring partners."

"If you're not in a hurry to kill them, leave them for me to practice on."

Ye Xingchen, who had remained silent all this time, swept his gaze over the two men before speaking indifferently.

"Granted."

Chen Xin nodded nonchalantly and waved a hand. The surrounding area was immediately enveloped by an immensely powerful force.

Clearly, he intended to stand guard.

Hearing this, the Blonde Man felt as though he had been granted a reprieve.

Glancing at the White-Robed Man, he felt a strong interest in someone for the first time in his life.

Who could make a level 97 Titled Douluo obey so willingly?

He shook his head, then shifted closer to the White-Bearded Old Man and said:

"Elder Song, contact the family quickly!"

"If someone comes to save us, there's still room to negotiate!"

The White-Bearded Old Man shook his head bitterly and sighed.

"Young Master, everything around us has been sealed off. We... can't contact them!"

"This time... I'm afraid we've kicked an iron plate!"

The Blonde Man's expression darkened at those words.

He could not help recalling what the White-Robed Man had said earlier. Was he really going to become a sparring partner today?

His face turned cold as he glanced at the white-robed figure seated atop the Black Tortoise's back, only for his expression to change drastically!

A cauldron with three legs and two handles had silently appeared.

Clearly visible to the naked eye, it did not have a single Soul Ring on it!

"Elder Song... who did you say knocked you back just now?"

"Could it have been Princess Rongrong's secret treasure?"

Hearing the Young Master's question, Elder Song shook his head slightly.

He was certain that he had been knocked back by that strange cauldron.

Its defensive power was no weaker than a Soul Ancestor's full-force strike!

And just now, he had been holding back out of fear of hurting Princess Rongrong.

Thus, his attack had only contained seventy percent of his strength.

Yet seventy percent of a Soul King's strength was already no weaker than a Soul Ancestor's all-out attack!

This boy had blocked that strike with a Tool Martial Soul!

That alone was enough to prove the power of his Martial Soul, as well as the uniqueness of his identity!

Elder Song had to admit that this was the first person like this he had ever seen in his life!

Even that person with Dual Martial Souls was probably not this monstrous!

On the Lake Center Black Tortoise's back, Ye Xingchen sat down cross-legged and did his best to mobilize the little Soul Power remaining within him.

As he slowly absorbed the Black Tortoise's Soul Ring, a heavy force instantly spread throughout his entire body.

After sensing that gravity, his Heavenly Emperor Cauldron Martial Soul slowly began to turn.

With every rotation, the Black Tortoise Soul Ring gradually shrank by another circle.

Meanwhile, a blurry Black Tortoise gradually took shape upon the surface of the Heavenly Emperor Cauldron Martial Soul!

Chen Xin, who was guarding him from the side, was immediately deeply shocked by this sight!

Having cultivated to level 97 as a Titled Douluo, he had seen countless geniuses in his lifetime.

He had seen all kinds of methods for absorbing Martial Souls.

But this was the first time he had ever seen something like this!

He could understand absorbing a Soul Ring, but imprinting the Soul Ring itself onto the surface of a Martial Soul—what was that supposed to be?

The more Chen Xin thought about it, the more unsettling it became. He suddenly found himself looking forward to seeing what this person's Soul Skill would be!

After all, this was his first Martial Soul!

He did not dare imagine just how powerful it would become!

"Ding! Congratulations on absorbing one Mixed-Blood Black Tortoise Soul Ring. Reward: Soul Skill Crashing Waves!"

"Ding! Congratulations on imprinting one Black Tortoise pattern. Reward: Soul Skill Gravity Domain!"

"Ding! Congratulations on successfully absorbing your first Soul Ring. Reward: 100,000 Spiritual Qi!"

Ye Xingchen, who had been continuously absorbing the Soul Ring, kept his eyes tightly shut. The moment he heard the system notifications—

He abruptly opened his eyes, and the Heavenly Emperor Cauldron Martial Soul hovering above his head immediately sank into his body.

An aura completely different from before instantly swept outward!

Seeing this, Rongrong, who stood nearby, immediately smiled!

Rubbing her wrist, she stepped forward and said with a smile, "Congratulations! Congratulations! You finally succeeded in absorbing your first Soul Ring!"

Hearing Rongrong's congratulations, Ye Xingchen could not help but smile faintly.

Absorbing his first Soul Ring truly felt different.

It was like a starving person finally having a full meal!

"I remember you said that once I successfully absorbed my first Soul Ring, we'd enter the bridal chamber?"

Enter the bridal chamber?

Rongrong's pretty face instantly turned red when she heard that.

She gave a small cough and said, "You heard wrong. I said the second one, not the first!"

Ye Xingchen merely smiled, unconcerned. Touching the tip of his nose, he said, "Fine, then the second one. Maybe I remembered it wrong!"

"No backing out!"

Hearing that, Rongrong's flushed face suddenly changed as she realized what he meant.

She frowned and muttered, "You're so bad! You actually tricked me!"

Chen Xin, standing nearby, shook his head slightly. He coughed and asked, "What level are you now?"

Ye Xingchen nodded with a grin and secretly opened his personal system interface to inspect it:

"Host: Ye Xingchen!"

"Physique: Minor Achievement Chaos Body!"

"Sky Covering Realm: Initial Bitter Sea Shore!"

"Douluo Realm: Soul Master Level 18!"

"Martial Soul: Heavenly Emperor Cauldron Martial Soul!"

"Storage: 100,000 Spiritual Qi!!"

"Soul Skills: Crashing Waves! Ten Thousand Ton Gravity Domain!"

Initial Bitter Sea Shore!

Soul Master Level 18!

After examining himself internally, Ye Xingchen was overjoyed!

Absorbing the first Soul Ring had nearly allowed him to break through to Soul Master!

If he had a second Martial Soul to absorb right now, he would believe it even if someone said he could reach Level 29!

Especially after gaining those two Soul Skills, Ye Xingchen was itching to test them out.

He looked at Chen Xin and said with a smile, "Barely a Level 18 Soul Master. Still far too weak..."

A Level 18 Soul Master?

Too weak?

Chen Xin's face could not help but twitch when he heard that!

He remembered that before absorbing a Soul Ring, this guy had only been a Soul Master of a few levels at most, right?

Yet the moment he absorbed a Soul Ring, he shot up more than ten levels!

And he still wasn't satisfied?

He still thought he was too weak?

Somewhat speechless, Chen Xin smiled and chose to remain silent!

Rongrong, standing nearby, formed an O with her little mouth the moment she learned of it.

She looked at the guy before her, then immediately pounced on him:

"Muah!"

"A reward for you. You're amazing!"

"You jumped more than ten levels in an instant, right? What's your soul skill?"

Caught off guard, Ye Xingchen froze for a moment and touched the cheek she had kissed.

He lowered his gaze at Rongrong, then kissed her back while she wasn't paying attention:

"It's only proper to return the favor, isn't it?"

"I'll demonstrate my soul skill for you now..."

After kissing her and running off, Ye Xingchen tossed out those words before flying toward the two people by the shore.

"You're awful..."

Rongrong stood rooted to the spot, clenching her little hands as her pretty face flushed all the way down to her neck.
