Watching the white-robed figure recede into the distance, her eyes brimmed with affection.
A delighted, auntie-like smile slowly spread across her flushed face!
"Ahem... Rongrong..."
"Looks like you two have gotten along quite well after not seeing each other for a few days..."
Chen Xin, seated nearby, coughed. After the other person left, he turned around and smiled.
"Going to Shrek Academy might actually work out!"
Shrek Academy?
Coming back to her senses, Rongrong rubbed her chin and could not help asking in confusion.
"Grandpa Chen Xin, where is Shrek Academy? Why have I never heard of it before?"
"And why are we going there?"
Chen Xin smiled calmly and glanced at the battle below.
"Your mother's decision..."
Mother?
Upon hearing this, Rongrong fell silent.
She turned to look at the white-robed figure and thought that this was also her mother's decision.
Still somewhat puzzled, she nodded, sighing inwardly!
On the shore, Ye Xingchen stepped onto the bank. Against the Snowy Sky, he appeared especially ethereal.
Glancing at the two of them, he said calmly.
"You two are coming at me together?"
Elder Song's expression shifted slightly upon hearing this.
Looking at the white-robed figure before him, he said in a deep voice.
"Little fellow, being too aggressive is not a good thing."
"I'll do it..."
Ye Xingchen nodded indifferently and casually slapped his hand. The Cloud Pattern Long Sword appeared in his grasp.
As the wind and snow fell, a Yellow Soul Ring quietly unfolded around him!
The sensation of Soul Power coating his longsword made Ye Xingchen curl his lips into a smile!
Glancing at the White-Bearded Old Man before him, he pushed off with his heel and vanished from where he stood, turning into an Afterimage.
The next instant, he closed in silently. A point of Silver Light shot out in an instant!
The White-Bearded Old Man, who had been standing with his hands behind his back, frowned slightly at the sight.
He slowly extended his right hand, lightly pinched the sword tip, and said.
"Your speed is indeed quite fast, but the gap between us..."
Before he could finish speaking, the White-Bearded Old Man suddenly felt an immense weight descend upon his head!
It was as though a great mountain had suddenly dropped onto him!
Ten Thousand Ton Gravity Domain!
Seeing the White-Bearded Old Man become distracted, Ye Xingchen immediately withdrew his sword and retreated ten meters!
"A Gravity Domain combined with your speed is indeed... not bad!"
"Unfortunately, Elder Song is a Soul King. You are still far too weak..."
The Golden-Haired Man, standing to one side, could not help sighing at the sight.
Little did he know that Elder Song, within the Ten Thousand Ton Gravity Domain, had a face the color of liver!
That sudden gravity had forced him to divert his attention to resist it.
It was during that brief moment that the sword tip he had pinched slipped free.
The instant it broke free, a force no weaker than that of a Soul Elder struck him!
With the two attacks arriving one after the other, Elder Song had been put at a disadvantage.
He glanced at the white-robed figure in the distance, wariness appearing in his eyes.
All his previous contempt had vanished!
"If an outsider were facing you for the first time, then among those of the same rank, you would probably be invincible!" Elder Song said.
"Again. I hope you can still injure me!"
He was injured?
The Blonde Man's face twitched upon hearing this.
He had thought Elder Song should have held the upper hand in that last exchange.
Now, however, it seemed he had been overthinking it!
He swallowed, and his fear of the white-robed figure grew even stronger!
"Again!"
With his fighting spirit rising ever higher, Ye Xingchen nodded. The longsword in his hand trembled.
At once, a Sword Qi formed from Soul Power and Spiritual Power slashed forward.
Following close behind it, he shouted softly and rushed forward with the Cloud Pattern Long Sword in hand.
The snow along his path exploded one after another, instantly obscuring the view!
"So that is that power..."
Chen Xin, seated atop Xuanwu, slowly rose to his feet when he saw that Sword Qi.
Though this Sword Qi was pitifully weak to him, the faint traces of power within it were impossible to ignore.
As a Titled Douluo, he could tell at a glance that this Sword Qi was not formed entirely from Soul Power!
As for what that power was, Chen Xin could only guess that it was the source of the strength that allowed him to rival a Soul Elder through his Martial Soul!
If that power could continue to grow, he did not dare imagine how powerful this person would become in the future!
"Hiss..."
Black mist burst from Elder Song's body amid the snow. The instant the Sword Qi drew near, he unleashed the power of a Soul King and shattered it.
He had assumed the Sword Qi was ordinary, but the moment he made contact, he realized something was wrong.
With no time to think further, after shattering the Sword Qi, he faced the full-force strike coming straight at him. He sucked in a cold breath and braced himself as he charged forward!
The cold wind howled, and snowflakes drifted through the air!
On the snowfield, Elder Song saw the Sword Qi rushing toward him and immediately met it with all his strength!
Clang...
As a piercing metallic sound rang out, the two figures were sent flying back a hundred meters.
A deep trench, carved into the ground by overwhelming force, appeared clearly between them.
Ye Xingchen stood with his sword in one hand, his expression calm. Heat slowly rose from his body as he looked at the old man before him, feeling a hint of pressure!
With his current early Other Shore cultivation in the Wheel Sea realm, fighting a powerful enemy like a Soul King was still somewhat difficult. Even using the Heavenly Emperor Cauldron Martial Soul, he still could not suppress him.
"Impressive... You injured me with both moves..."
"Who exactly are you? The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect definitely does not have a battle genius as powerful as you..."
Elder Song shook his head slightly. His face was flushed, and his Soul King strength was fully on display as he stared at the white-robed figure before him and asked in a deep voice.
Spirit Hall knew the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect inside and out. They had kept a close watch on its talented youths in recent years.
Yet this was the first time he had ever seen a gifted young man like this white-robed figure.
Ye Xingchen shook his head indifferently, then looked toward the Golden-Haired Man and said calmly.
"It seems you are not qualified to know my name!"
"Is he next?"
The Blonde Man froze upon hearing this. Looking at the white-robed figure before him, he felt an unprecedented fear.
He had never experienced such immense mental pressure from anyone else. Even when facing his father, he had never felt such pressure.
He glanced toward Elder Chen Xin, who stood in the distance with his hands behind his back, then shouted.
"Elder Chen Xin, for my father's sake, let's just put this matter behind us!"
"If we all end up unhappy, I'm afraid you won't be able to answer to Spirit Hall either..."
Upon hearing this, Chen Xin, standing atop Xuanwu, shook his head slightly.
With a casual wave of his hand, the Sword Qi throughout heaven and earth suddenly became violent.
Before the Blonde Man could react, he let out a muffled groan. A sword wound instantly appeared at his knee.
Overcome by pain, he dropped to his knees. Looking at the hot blood spreading across the snow, fear rose in his heart.
"Chen Xin, Elder Chen Xin, do you really have to do this?"
"He is Blood Stab Douluo's son! Are you trying to provoke a war between the two great sects by doing this?"
Seeing this, Elder Song's expression turned cold. He moved at once and arrived beside the Blonde Man.
Turning to face Chen Xin, he spoke coldly.
Chen Xin sighed indifferently, then pushed off with his heel and rose into the air.
The next second, he arrived before the two of them.
At the same time, the overwhelming power of a level 97 Titled Douluo pressed down upon them instantly.
The moment Elder Song, who possessed only Soul King strength, felt this pressure, he too was forced to his knees.
Facing the immense oppression of a Titled Douluo, he could sense the god of death beckoning to him.
"Are you threatening me?"
"How interesting. It has been many years since I last heard such a threat, and it is actually from people of Spirit Hall..."
Hearing Chen Xin's words, the Blonde Man sprawled on the ground with a face as pale as death.
He could not help recalling the old grudges and enmities between Elder Chen Xin and Spirit Hall that his father had once told him about.
He swallowed, no longer caring about his dignity, and hurriedly kowtowed as he begged for mercy. "Elder Chen Xin, spare me..."
"This is all just a misunderstanding. I'll do anything you ask. Please, spare my life..."
Ye Xingchen, standing nearby, showed no expression at all. These two actually thought they could use Spirit Hall to threaten Chen Xin. What a complete joke!
Everyone knew that Spirit Hall had killed Chen Xin's father. How could an ordinary person bear such a deep hatred?
"You two arrogant fools, weren't you acting so smug just now? Why aren't you so impressive anymore..."
"This young lady is not someone you can bully. Just wait until you become ice sculptures! Hmph!"
Ning Rongrong slowly walked over with her hands on her hips. Looking at the two people kneeling on the ground, she smiled.
With a livid expression, Elder Song gritted his teeth. He glanced at the young master behind him, then spoke again in a deep voice.
"Elder Chen Xin, there is no need to take things this far!"
"The two great sects may not see each other every day, but we will always cross paths. If the two of us disappear, I am afraid many people will find out!"
Chen Xin, standing with his hands behind his back, did not answer.
Instead, he turned to glance at the lake, and a trace of killing intent appeared in his eyes!
