"That guy was too honest. I told him to test the waters, and he actually developed killing intent!"
"Otherwise, I definitely wouldn't have let that brat off. Hmph!"
Chen Xin smiled dismissively, glanced at Gu Rong, and teased:
"You've seen through him too. Why insist on betting against him?"
"Maybe... you'll be the one who loses."
Gu Rong was instantly displeased upon hearing that!
He was a dignified level 95 Titled Douluo. You couldn't find ten thousand people like him in the entire world!
He glanced at Chen Xin and waved a hand.
"What kind of joke is that?"
"With all the experience I've accumulated over the years, I'd lose to him?"
"I'm a Titled Douluo. So what if I give him one hand?"
Chen Xin sighed softly, folded his arms, turned to look ahead, and smiled.
"You know perfectly well that he didn't use Soul Power at all!"
"That mysterious power capable of manipulating spiritual qi—do you really think you can handle it so easily?"
Left speechless, Gu Rong swallowed. He suddenly felt that he did not have much confidence in winning after all.
Still, he smiled and spread his hands.
"Losing... wouldn't be unacceptable."
"At least I'd get a better grasp of that power, right? You know, I've been stuck for many years..."
Chen Xin sighed indifferently and did not answer further.
With a flicker, he vanished from the spot!
In the sect's rear courtyard, Rongrong returned with a curious look on her face and glanced at the figure seated in the courtyard, cultivating.
She quietly stepped closer and waved her fist. Seeing that the guy before her still had his eyes closed without any reaction, she snorted and muttered:
"Hey, you?"
"You were pretty impressive today. A lot of people in the sect know about it now!"
Seeing that he did not respond, Rongrong felt a little awkward.
With her hands on her hips, she looked him over from top to bottom. Her face reddened and her heart raced as she slowly reached a hand toward him.
Looking at that flawless, handsome face, she could not help blinking.
Just as her slender jade-like hand was about to touch his sculpted face—
The fair hand resting on his leg suddenly reached out. Rongrong, whose hand had been caught, muttered:
"Are you such a sore loser?"
"Let go of me. Hmph!"
Ye Xingchen smiled helplessly as he looked at the quirky, adorable, beautiful Rongrong before him.
"Are you lusting after my body?"
Lusting after his body?
Upon hearing that, Rongrong's little face immediately turned crimson.
She pulled her wrist free, planted her hands on her hips, and said:
"Pfft, pfft, pfft! I'm not lusting after your body!"
"You? Keep dreaming!"
Ye Xingchen smiled dismissively and teased:
"Last night... who was it that came out to peek at me ten times..."
"And when I was bathing, did I force you to come in?"
Rongrong's pretty face flushed slightly at those words, and she immediately looked extremely uncomfortable.
Looking at the guy before her, she stubbornly replied:
"You're the husband I married in a ceremony. It's normal for me to look at you!"
"What? Got a problem with that?"
Ye Xingchen wore a bitter smile as he looked at the quirky Rongrong.
He glanced at the sun overhead, slowly rose to his feet, and said:
"I want to absorb a Soul Ring. Do you know where I should go?"
A Soul Ring?
Staring at his tall, white-robed figure with shining eyes, Rongrong swallowed and muttered:
"Frozen Forest... has Soul Rings..."
Ye Xingchen froze for a moment. Seeing Rongrong spacing out, he promptly flicked her on the forehead and said:
"If you're lusting after my body, just say so. Shall we enter the Bridal Chamber tonight?"
Coming back to her senses, Rongrong hurriedly took two steps back upon hearing that.
She glanced at him, put her hands on her hips, and said:
"Enter the Bridal Chamber? Dream on!"
"I'll only agree after you conquer me. Hmph!"
With that, Rongrong ran out, her face flushed and her heart racing!
Three days later, in the main hall of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Fengzhi glanced at his daughter, who had a bundle slung over her back, and felt a slight headache.
What is she up to this time?
"Rongrong, where are you planning to go?"
Hearing her father's question, Rongrong smiled with a faint blush on her pretty face.
She rubbed her chin and muttered:
"I'm following my husband out to gain experience..."
Husband?
Hiss...
Gu Rong, standing to one side with his arms folded, sucked in a sharp breath upon hearing those two words.
Had Rongrong been conquered by that brat in less than a few days?
"Ahem... gain experience? Where are you going to gain experience?"
Ning Fengzhi coughed lightly and asked with a smile, seeing his daughter's attitude had made a complete 360-degree turn.
"Frozen Forest... Brother Chen is going to absorb his first Soul Ring!"
Rongrong looked up at everyone without a care. After tossing out those words, she skipped out of the main hall.
"Soul Ring... looks like someone is going to be in trouble..."
Chen Xin, leaning against a pillar nearby, smiled and teased Gu Rong.
"I wonder if the spiritual qi in the Training Room has been replenished over these past three days?"
Gu Rong's face twitched at those words!
Over the past three days, whenever that guy went to the Training Room, the spiritual qi would run short, and Gu Rong would have to replenish it himself!
After going back and forth several times, his Soul Power was nearly unable to hold up.
It was not a major issue, but who could endure a frequency of more than ten times a day?
Perhaps those low-level disciples did not know what was happening, but Gu Rong knew exactly what was going on!
With a bitter expression, he sighed softly, turned to Ning Fengzhi, and said:
"Sect Master, this brat... is truly a monster!"
"If he didn't have a Tool Martial Soul, I'd think he was a Soul Beast in human form!"
Ning Fengzhi smiled unconcernedly. Looking at Elder Gu Rong, he coughed and said:
"Just endure it... I've had some more Spiritual Qi Amplification Arrays purchased. They should be enough for him!"
Spiritual Qi Amplification Arrays?
The spiritual qi enhancement arrays outside that were worth hundreds of millions of gold coins?
Gu Rong sucked in a cold breath, shook his head with a bitter smile, and said:
"Honestly, if I can't beat him when the time comes, Chen Xin, you have to help me!"
Chen Xin, leaning against the pillar, shook his head slightly. Glancing at the pitiful-looking Gu Rong, he said:
"Handle your own matters yourself. I don't plan to interfere in this."
In the sect's rear courtyard, Ye Xingchen, dressed in white, sat upright in the courtyard. As the last wisp of spiritual qi completed its circulation, he let out a breath of turbid air!
Cultivating the Heaven Shading Method in this world overflowing with spiritual qi felt utterly wonderful to him!
Compared to Ye Hei's Age of Dharma Decline, it was like the difference between heaven and earth!
"System, open my personal interface..."
Host: Ye Xingchen! Physique: Minor Success Chaos Body! Sky Covering Realm: Wheel Sea Divine Bridge, Complete! Douluo Realm: Level 3 Soul Master! Martial Soul: Heavenly Emperor Cauldron Martial Soul! Storage: 0!
Looking at his Minor Success Chaos Body, Ye Xingchen revealed a faint smile.
Over the past three days, he had gone to the Training Room more than ten times almost every day.
It was not because he was especially diligent in cultivation, but because that place had far too much to exploit.
For a time, he could not stop, completely immersed in it!
As a result, his Chaos Body had reached the Minor Success stage, while his realm had reached the completion of the Divine Bridge, only one step away from the Other Shore!
The nine Life Springs within his body were flourishing, their spiritual qi vast as mist!
The winding little stream from before had nearly reached the level of a small river!
"You're still here? Aren't you going to find your Martial Soul?"
While he was distracted, Rongrong's voice suddenly came from beside him.
Ye Xingchen quickly closed the system interface, opened his eyes, and said:
"You're carrying a bundle... Are you coming with me?"
