Douluo: Bestowing Ning Rongrong in Marriage, Rewarding the Heaven Shading Method

Taking in her appearance, he immediately stepped forward, clasped his fists, and said:

"I am Zhao Wuji. Greetings, Snake Grandma!"

Zhao Wuji?

Snake Grandma, leaning on her staff, paused slightly. Looking at the burly man before her, she could not help but smile.

"I was wondering where such a young Soul Saint had come from. So it's Zhao Wuji, the Immovable Ming King..."

"Tell me, Zhao Wuji, are you really going to oppose this old woman over this Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent?"

Zhao Wuji's expression remained calm, but he was slightly startled as he looked at the aggressive Snake Grandma. He felt a faint trace of apprehension.

Wherever Snake Grandma was, Dragon Duke could not be far away. If the two joined forces, even ordinary Titled Douluo would be no match for them.

"Forgive my bluntness, but this Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent's Soul Ring is needed by my disciple. Please understand. After all, you did not kill this Soul Beast. We were the ones who finished it off!"

Snake Grandma's expression immediately turned cold at Zhao Wuji's words. Yiran, standing nearby with her Slender Waist akimbo, said coldly:

"So you're trying to steal our Soul Beast? You're bullying us because we're two women, aren't you?"

Ye Xingchen, standing to the side, shook his head slightly. Seeing this familiar scene unfold once more, he felt rather bored.

He then stepped forward, glanced at the two of them, clasped his fists, and said:

"To be honest, this Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent's Soul Ring happens to suit my friend. I hope Snake Grandma can do us this favor and yield it to us!"

"If you do, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will surely treat Dragon Duke and you as honored guests in the future. What do you think?"

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?

Snake Grandma was slightly taken aback. Looking at the white-robed figure before her, she gave him another look before asking coldly:

"You're from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"

"What lofty words. Perhaps they would mean something if Ning Fengzhi himself said them to me. What does a mere disciple like you amount to?"

Ning Rongrong smiled, immediately took out a token, walked before Snake Grandma, and teased:

"Open your eyes and see what kind of token this is. Now tell me, are the words of the two of us as credible as my father's?"

Snake Grandma's expression became somewhat ugly as she glanced at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect token in Ning Rongrong's hand. Her pupils contracted.

"Those who possess such a token in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect are either rich or noble. So you must be his daughter."

Ning Rongrong snorted dismissively and immediately linked her arm through Ye Xingchen's.

"So there's no need to oppose us. Nothing in this world is impossible to negotiate. As long as you're willing to compromise, everything can be discussed!"

When Yiran saw this with her Slender Waist akimbo, her expression turned somewhat ugly. She tugged at Snake Grandma's arm and said:

"Grandma, we can't be afraid of them! Grandpa is nearby. These people are too hateful. That Soul Beast clearly belongs to us!"

Snake Grandma nodded calmly. Looking at Ning Rongrong and Ye Xingchen, she felt a trace of discomfort.

If she offended the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and drew the pursuit of those Titled Douluo, it would be extremely troublesome.

She coughed softly before saying blandly:

"This Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent was meant to provide a Soul Ring for my granddaughter. Since you need it too, I want to see whether you lot can defeat my granddaughter and whether you deserve this Soul Ring!"

Oscar's expression immediately changed upon hearing that. He was merely an auxiliary Soul Master. Compared to Yiran before him, they were not even on the same level.

If they fought, there was a seventy percent chance he would lose.

"Oscar, do you have any confidence in beating her? She looks like an attack-type Soul Master!"

Dai Mubai, somewhat worried, came to Oscar's side, patted his shoulder, and asked softly:

"Why not let Tang San fight in your place? He's about to break through Rank 30 too!"

Oscar nodded with a worried expression. Just as he was about to turn around and ask Tang San what he thought, Tang San directly turned away and said blandly:

"Only obtaining your own things with your own hands has meaning. What does it count for if someone else helps you?"

Oscar's face immediately reddened at Tang San's words. Looking at the cold-hearted fellow before him, he gritted his teeth and said:

"Fine, just wait! You really are impossible to deal with. So petty!"

Tang San shook his head indifferently. As he looked at Snake Grandma and Yiran, a glint flashed through his eyes.

Yiran, standing before Snake Grandma, smiled. Hearing her grandmother say this, she became interested as well. Sweeping her gaze across the group, she said blandly:

"That's right. If you want this Soul Ring so badly, defeat me first!"

Having said that, Yiran immediately unleashed her Soul Power and looked toward the group.

Oscar's expression turned ugly at the sight. Just as he was preparing to force himself to step forward and fight her—

Ye Xingchen slowly walked out and said blandly:

"Let me do it. As an auxiliary-type Soul Master, he definitely isn't your match!"

"I'm about to break through Rank 30 as well. Let's have a contest!"

Snake Grandma's pupils narrowed slightly upon hearing this. She glanced at Zhao Wuji and asked:

"It seems the little ones under you are quite impressive. There are actually two geniuses about to break through Rank 30!"

Zhao Wuji smiled dismissively. He glanced at Snake Grandma and said boastfully:

"Can't be helped. There are too many geniuses here. You'll get used to it. Besides, there's a third one here who's about to break through Rank 30, so this Soul Ring really should belong to us!"

Yiran's expression remained calm, but upon hearing this, she could not help taking another look at Ye Xingchen's handsome face. Her cheeks reddened slightly, as though she would fall for him if she looked at him any longer.

Feeling somewhat confused, she shook her head and immediately cast aside those improper thoughts. Looking at the white-robed figure before her, she attacked without hesitation.

"Overestimating yourself. Let me see what you're made of. Take this!"

Facing the approaching Yiran, Ye Xingchen did not choose to attack. Instead, he simply stood there, looking completely at ease.

Dai Mubai, Zhu Zhuqing, Ma Hongjun, Oscar, and the others, standing not far away, all folded their arms and watched the show.

"What do you think it'll feel like when that little girl punches Brother Ye?"

"Such a pretty girl taking a face-plant would be a bit... well, you know. I doubt Brother Ye would be so unkind to a beauty!"

"Better cover your ears. Judging by her momentum, she's putting everything into this!"

As soon as the words fell, a piercing metallic clang rang out. Yiran gave a frightened muffled groan and immediately staggered backward.

Clutching her chest, she stared at the white-robed figure before her and exclaimed:

"What Martial Soul is that? How can it possess such terrifying power? You can't possibly be a Rank 29 Soul Grandmaster!"

Ye Xingchen, standing within the Heavenly Emperor Cauldron Martial Soul, smiled faintly. Looking at Yiran's disbelieving face, he said nothing.

With a casual wave of his hand, the Soul Ring Power on his body immediately appeared. When Snake Grandma saw this, her expression gradually became somewhat awkward.

"Truly worthy of being a genius. At such a young age, you've already reached the level of a Soul Elder!"

"The Soul Ring is yours. Zhao Wuji, it seems Shrek Academy has gained several more powerful helpers! But this old woman will remember this matter, and my old man will come settle the score with you as well!"

Having said that, Snake Grandma immediately put an arm around Yiran and walked away.

Yiran, still filled with shock, shook her head slightly. Turning back to look at that white-robed figure, her heart began to pound.

When her punch struck the Cauldron Martial Soul just now, she had clearly felt an irresistible force about to strike her in an instant. Yet at that moment, the white-robed figure before her seemed to raise his hand, reducing the attack she suffered by more than tenfold.

"Brother Ye, you're way too amazing! You didn't even need to move, yet you forced the enemy back. I can never learn that kind of swagger!"

Seeing Snake Grandma and Yiran leave, Oscar rushed to Ye Xingchen's side, waving his arms as he cried out excitedly.

"Of course! My Husband is invincible beneath the heavens. Once he becomes a Titled Douluo, his power will be even more incredible!"

Ning Rongrong smiled proudly. She glanced at Ye Xingchen, then hugged his arm and declared smugly.

Ye Xingchen shook his head slightly, his expression calm. By the day I become a Titled Douluo, the Heaven Shading Method will probably have reached an immensely powerful realm.

When that time comes, what would Titled Douluo even amount to?

If I merely raised a hand, everyone in Spirit Hall combined would be no match for me.

As for gods like Bibi Dong, wouldn't they still have to call me Brother Ye?

Deep in the forest, as time passed second by second, Oscar, sitting cross-legged beside the Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent, gradually turned pale.

Beads of sweat the size of beans appeared one after another on his forehead. Zhao Wuji, standing nearby, frowned at the sight.

He glanced at the group and could not help sighing.

"Oscar's Martial Soul is one that appears perhaps once in a thousand years. For him, becoming a Soul Elder and crossing into a new realm is no different from being reborn!"

"If this fellow ever becomes a Titled Douluo, he may become the first person on the entire Douluo Continent to reach that level with a food-type Martial Soul. I truly wonder what that day will look like!"

Everyone nodded upon hearing this. Only Tang San, standing to the side, felt somewhat bored. Looking at the Soul Power constantly emanating from his hand, he began to grow anxious.

After all, he was not the only one who needed to obtain a Soul Ring after entering the Star Dou Great Forest.

He turned to Zhao Wuji and reminded him:

"Teacher Zhao Wuji, Oscar still needs a long time to absorb the Soul Ring. Why don't I use this chance to look around nearby and see whether I can find a Soul Ring that belongs to me..."

"After all, with so many of us standing guard here, it's truly a waste of time and manpower. What do you think?"

Dai Mubai, who had his arms folded, immediately became unhappy. Looking at Tang San, who seemed increasingly at odds with the group, he reminded him:

"What's wrong with you? We're a team! Since Oscar is absorbing his Soul Ring here, we naturally need to protect him!"

"If you leave now, won't you be weakening our defenses? If something happens, will you take responsibility?"

Tang San looked unconcerned despite Dai Mubai's agitation. He felt somewhat surprised, then shook his head and folded his arms.

"Dai Mubai, get the facts straight. I'm not the only one here who needs to become a Soul Elder! Isn't it inappropriate to dump all the blame on me?"

Ning Rongrong's expression immediately changed upon hearing this. For some reason, she felt increasingly disgusted by him. With her Slender Waist akimbo, she asked:

"Tang San, are you talking about my Husband? My Husband isn't useless like you. He doesn't need someone else to help him hunt a Soul Ring. If you have the ability, go find a suitable one yourself!"

"Making veiled accusations here—do you think you're worthy? You're nothing but a hypocrite and a petty villain. We usually don't scold you because we're giving you face, but look at that attitude of yours!"

Xiao Wu's expression remained calm upon hearing this, though she could not help sighing inwardly.

Looking at Brother Tang San, whose temperament had changed so drastically, she did not know what to say for a moment.

"If a man does not look out for himself, heaven and earth will destroy him. Absorbing a Soul Ring is important not only to Oscar, but also to me. There's no need for you to speak of me like this!"

Tang San shook his head calmly. Though everyone was pressing him, he remained unmoved.

Teacher Zhao Wuji, standing beside Oscar, shook his head. After hearing their exchange, he felt a trace of helplessness.

Looking at Tang San, he could not help recalling the things Headmaster Flender had once said. Thinking of them now, he could not help wondering whether Grandmaster had been blind to take a liking to someone like this.

"Enough. Stop arguing. Have you forgotten that we are a team? Tang San, since you want to search for a Soul Ring alone, I support you as your teacher..."

"But I advise you to wait a little longer. There is strength in numbers, and you'll have more choices!"

A faint sneer appeared on Tang San's face when Teacher Zhao Wuji spoke.

He glanced at everyone, turned around, and said blandly:

"I, Tang San, am not useless like Oscar. I'll prove it to you. Isn't it just a Soul Ring? I'll bring one back for you to see!"

Having said that, Tang San turned his back on the group and headed deeper into the forest.

Zhu Zhuqing, Ma Hongjun, and the others standing nearby were left somewhat speechless by the sight.

"Has Tang San gone mad, or what? Ever since things turned bad between him and Xiao Wu, he's seemed like a completely different person!"

Ma Hongjun also found it strange after hearing Zhu Zhuqing's words. He turned to Xiao Wu and asked:

"Xiao Wu, what exactly is going on? Tang San wasn't like this before, was he? Why did his temperament suddenly change so much? This is too unbelievable!"

Xiao Wu, unable to put it into words, shook her head. She glanced at the silent white-robed figure sitting cross-legged beside Oscar.

How could she possibly explain the root of all this?
