Everyone began their cultivation, only Xiao Wu held the Lovesick Heartbreak Red in her hand. She decided not to consume this immortal herb. What boldness, what resolve it took to make such a decision.
"Xiao Wu, you're really not eating the Lovesick Heartbreak Red?" Ye Chen looked at Xiao Wu and smiled.
"I'm not eating it. I won't drag down the Spirit Master Elite Tournament," Xiao Wu shook her head.
"Brother Chen, are you not eating the immortal herb either?" Xiao Wu looked at Ye Chen and asked curiously.
"You're already level forty-six. If you take the immortal herb, you might be able to break through to level fifty. Brother Chen, you'll be the only Spirit King among all of us then," Xiao Wu said.
Ye Chen said calmly, "I also have an immortal herb, but now is not the time to consume it."
"In the future Spirit Master Elite Tournament, there will be a powerful opponent whose strength is far beyond mine. I want to ensure that this immortal herb can help me break through to level fifty before I consume it," Ye Chen looked at the immortal herb in his hand.
He made the same decision as Xiao Wu, not to consume this immortal herb.
If he were to consume it, Ye Chen could probably reach level forty-eight or forty-nine right now.
But Ye Chen didn't want to do that yet.
He had a destined opponent, Qian Renxue. Qian Renxue's strength and talent were definitely not below his.
Moreover, after the rules changed, the prodigies from various sects on the continent would appear, and the difficulty would increase significantly.
Breaking through to level fifty was something Ye Chen had to achieve. Otherwise, with his current strength, he couldn't lead Shrek's Seven Devils to the end.
Xiao Wu's face showed surprise, "Brother Chen, you mean... there's someone stronger than you?"
In Xiao Wu's heart, Ye Chen was already the strongest among Shrek's Seven Devils. Now, hearing that there was someone stronger than Ye Chen, how shocked she was.
"Yes."
"If our Shrek's Seven Devils can reach the end, we will inevitably fight against such a team. Therefore, everyone needs to become stronger," Ye Chen said.
Time flowed by second by second. In a blink of an eye, three hours had passed.
As the effects of the immortal herbs took hold, Shrek's Seven Devils who had consumed the immortal herbs all showed changes to varying degrees.
Dai Mubai sat on the ground. After consuming the Singular Velvet Sky Chrysanthemum, his three Spirit Rings flashed with light at an astonishing speed, occasionally accompanied by roars like thunder.
Oscar was surrounded by a faint white mist. Ma Hongjun looked extremely fiery, revealing his plump, red flesh, and Fatty's hair had turned fiery red.
Ning Rongrong was as beautiful as ever, surrounded by a seven-colored halo. The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda floated quietly in front of her.
As the treasure light flowed, she looked like a celestial maiden descending to earth, with a faint fragrance around Ning Rongrong.
Zhu Zhuqing was different from the others. She stood up, quietly absorbing the medicinal power, exuding the aura of a black spirit cat.
Grandmaster's entire body emitted a faint purple light, with a Powerful Spirit Energy Fluctuation emanating from him.
Tang San was also diligently cultivating.
The sun was setting, and more than half of the day had passed.
Among Shrek's Seven Devils, Oscar was the first to wake up.
"Comfortable, so comfortable." Oscar stretched and opened his eyes.
"Comfortable your head, hurry up and tell me, how do you feel?" Xiao Wu glared at Oscar impatiently.
Oscar chuckled, held out a hand, and waved it in front of Xiao Wu, saying, "Five levels, my spirit power increased by a full five levels, hehe, I'm already Level Thirty-Eight now."
Ye Chen smiled slightly. As expected, the medicinal effects of these immortal herbs were potent, causing Oscar's strength to undergo a huge metamorphosis.
"What are you yelling about? It's just five levels. It's not even as much as mine," Ning Rongrong's voice rang out, her right hand holding the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda.
"Xiao Wu, I increased by six levels, and I'm now Level Forty." Ning Rongrong smiled sweetly, looking at Xiao Wu.
"Brother, I'm a Soul Ancestor now too," Ning Rongrong said, looking at Ye Chen.
All along, the gap between her and Ye Chen had been huge. Now that she had reached Level Forty, and Ye Chen was Level Forty-Six, the gap had finally narrowed.
Oscar couldn't help but exclaim, "Heavens, the immortal herbs Brother Chen and Third Brother gave us are too amazing. They let us increase so many levels at once. What's the point of cultivating anymore? We can just eat immortal herbs every day."
Xiao Wu tapped Oscar's head and said, "Aren't you satisfied with increasing by five levels? Little San said that eating too many immortal herbs is harmful to the body."
Oscar lowered his head and looked at Ning Rongrong's pagoda, his eyes lit up.
"Rongrong, Rongrong, quickly count how many layers your Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda has?"
Ning Rongrong froze for a moment, looking at her pagoda. "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine? How can it be nine layers?"
Ning Rongrong's beautiful eyes looked at the pagoda before her, and she was stunned.
The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda had evolved into the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda. What did this mean? From now on, her talent had undergone a tremendous change.
Although the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda was the number one Support Spirit under heaven, it had a fatal flaw: it could only advance to Level Seventy-Nine, and then it could not break through any further.
The lifelong goal of Ning Fengzhi, the Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, was to reach the legendary Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda.
Ning Rongrong looked at Ye Chen, her whole body trembling. Such a debt of gratitude was precisely what Ye Chen had given her.
The evolution of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda to the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda was too important for the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
"Brother." Ning Rongrong threw herself directly into Ye Chen's arms, wrapping her arms around his neck and planting a kiss on Ye Chen's cheek.
"Brother, thank you. I never imagined that my Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda would one day evolve into the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda. I no longer have to be restricted by my family's inheritance. If Father knew, he would definitely be very happy," Ning Rongrong said with surprise.
"It's a good thing it was you. If someone else had given me this immortal herb, I might have had to chase after them," Ning Rongrong pouted her small mouth and looked at Ye Chen.
"Hm? Chasing after someone?" Ye Chen chuckled.
"Hehe, but I already have you, Wooden Brother." Ning Rongrong held Xiao Wu's arm again, her pretty face flushing slightly.
Immediately after, Tang San woke up and slowly opened his eyes. His eyes had completely turned golden-purple.
Tang San's gaze swept over Ning Rongrong's Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, then landed on Xiao Wu.
Suddenly, Tang San's body trembled violently, and his expression turned somewhat strange.
Xiao Wu looked at Tang San, feeling as if she had been seen through. Her heart raced. Could it be that Tang San had already figured something out?
Tang San smiled and walked in front of Xiao Wu, retracting the light in his eyes.
"My Purple Demon Eye has reached another level. Although my soul power has only increased to Level Thirty-Nine, my Purple Demon Eye has entered the third stage, 'Mustard Seed'," Tang San said with a smile.
"Brother, congratulations." Xiao Wu looked into Tang San's eyes, wanting to see something, but no matter how she looked, Tang San's expression remained unchanged.
"Xiao Wu, if you're willing to eat the Lovesick Heartbreak Red, your soul power can increase by more than ten levels. This is the ultimate immortal herb, even better than all the immortal herbs we have," Tang San ruffled Xiao Wu's head.
"I wouldn't bear to eat it," Xiao Wu said, looking at the Lovesick Heartbreak Red in her hand.
Not long after, Zhu Zhuqing also opened her eyes. Her gaze was unfocused, and she looked a bit lost.
"Zhuqing, how much has your strength increased?" Xiao Wu, still as lively as ever, ran up to Zhu Zhuqing.
"I've only broken through to Level Forty, but I feel my soul power should have increased by about seven levels," Zhu Zhuqing said.
"You haven't obtained your fourth spirit ring yet, so you can only be at Level Forty. If you get your fourth spirit ring, you'll at least directly reach Level Forty-Three."
"Zhuqing, congratulations on becoming a Soul Ancestor as well." Ye Chen walked up to Zhu Zhuqing, looking at the girl before him.
"Brother, thank you." Zhu Zhuqing bowed slightly to Ye Chen, saying sincerely.
Just as everyone was feeling the changes within themselves, Ma Hongjun and Dai Mubai woke up simultaneously.
After being nourished by the immortal herbs, everyone's strength had undergone significant changes.
Especially Dai Mubai, who had already broken through to Level Forty. His foundation was now completely solid. As for what kind of breakthrough he could achieve, it would be known once Dai Mubai obtained his fourth spirit ring.
It is worth mentioning that Grandmaster also successfully broke through to Level Thirty.
And now, the strength of Shrek's Seven Devils is...
Evil Eye White Tiger Dai Mubai, Level Forty.
Sausage Specialist Oscar, Level Thirty-Eight.
Thousand Hand Asura Tang San, Level Thirty-Nine.
Nine Spirits Begonia Ye Chen, Level Forty-Six.
Evil Fire Phoenix Ma Hongjun, Level Thirty-Seven.
Soft Bone Charm Rabbit Xiao Wu, Level Thirty-Six.
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Ning Rongrong, Level Forty.
Hell Spirit Cat Zhu Zhuqing, Level Forty.
Shrek's Seven Devils have all entered the Level Thirty stage, and are about to make a push towards Level Forty.
Among Shrek's Seven Devils, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing have both broken through to Level Forty.
They have even reached the same level as Dai Mubai.
Of course, Dai Mubai was already Level Forty before consuming the immortal herb. If spirit rings were included, his level would still be ahead of Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing.
After this, everyone in Shrek's Seven Devils began to enter secluded cultivation.
During this time, Tang San and Xiao Wu went to the Heaven Dou Auction House to auction hidden weapons, where they also met Ning Fengzhi, the Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Tang San's hidden weapons earned Ning Fengzhi's admiration.
Ye Chen and Ning Rongrong returned to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Originally, both of them were members of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Ning Rongrong sat on the sofa in the main hall, swinging her slender legs and pouting her small mouth, somewhat unhappy.
She had been back for most of the day, but her father was nowhere to be seen.
Opposite Ning Rongrong was the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Titled Douluo, Bone Douluo.
"My little princess, don't be angry. Your father will probably be back soon." Bone Douluo put down his teacup and looked at Ning Rongrong.
Ning Rongrong reached out and tugged at the white hair on Bone Douluo's head, humming softly, "I don't care. I've been gone for so long, and I've finally returned, but Father isn't here. Grandpa Bone, is Father deliberately hiding from me? You must stand up for me."
Bone Douluo was amused and exasperated. "My little princess, stop messing with the few withered weeds on your Grandpa Bone's head. Otherwise, that scoundrel Grandpa Sword will laugh at me. In our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, who else dares to provoke you?"
Ning Rongrong thought about it. She was indeed the little devil of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. If anyone dared to bully her, it would only have been Ye Chen during their childhood.
Thinking of her childhood, Ning Rongrong couldn't help but chuckle. When she was little, that blockhead Ye Chen refused to take her to cultivate.
"Hmph, I don't care. Anyway, when Father returns, I must be given something good, or I'll be angry. Grandpa Bone, you have to speak up for me." Ning Rongrong giggled.
Bone Douluo became even more helpless. If the people of the Spirit Master world outside saw this scene, how astonished would they be? Even Bone Douluo, a renowned Titled Douluo, could only nod repeatedly in front of Ning Rongrong, trying to protect the few strands of his hair.
"Grandpa Bone is the best." Ning Rongrong smiled sweetly. She didn't think Grandpa Bone was ugly in any way.
Looking at the lively Ning Rongrong, Grandpa Bone's eyes held a hint of doting. He had watched Ning Rongrong grow up, and she had always been like this.
The two Titled Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect were always so fond of Ning Rongrong, treating her as their own granddaughter.
"I heard our little imp is back. Come let Father see." Ning Fengzhi's voice rang out, a smile on his face.
Ning Rongrong heard the familiar voice and wanted to rush forward, but then remembered she was still angry. How could she go to welcome her Father proactively?
Ning Fengzhi saw Ning Rongrong at a glance. "Girl, why are you turning your back to Father? We haven't seen each other for so many years, Father misses you dearly."
Ning Rongrong turned around and stuck out her tongue. "You don't miss me. You weren't even home when I returned."
Ning Fengzhi sat down on the sofa, intending to hug his daughter. Who would have thought that Ning Rongrong would easily dodge him?
Ning Rongrong snorted and went straight to the white-robed old man. She said aggrievedly, "Grandpa Sword, I've missed you so much, woo woo."
Grandpa Sword quickly ruffled Ning Rongrong's head. "Good girl, our little darling is finally back. Grandpa Sword hasn't seen you in a long time either. Grandpa Sword misses you too, thinking about you every day."
Ning Rongrong smiled sweetly and looked up. "Really?"
Grandpa Sword nodded. "Of course. Our Rongrong is all grown up now. If Grandpa Sword doesn't miss you, who else would I miss?"
Ning Rongrong blinked. "But Grandpa Bone said he misses me a little bit more than you do."
Grandpa Sword glared at Grandpa Bone. "You're talking nonsense. I miss our Rongrong more."
"You're the one talking nonsense." Grandpa Bone stood up, his voice hoarse. "What do you mean 'our Rongrong'? She's clearly our Rongrong."
"Don't like it? Find a place for a one-on-one?" Grandpa Sword looked at the other without fear.
Ning Fengzhi looked helplessly at the two old men before him. "Uncle Jian, Uncle Gu, you've been arguing your whole lives. Rongrong is back today, so you can't fight anymore."
"Hmph." Grandpa Bone and Grandpa Sword snorted and turned around. Their gazes both fell on Ning Rongrong.
"Hehe." Ning Rongrong looked at Grandpa Sword and Grandpa Bone. "Who misses me more? Why don't you both give Rongrong a gift? Whichever gift Rongrong likes more, that person misses me more."
The two old men exchanged glances. Ning Rongrong had always liked to play this trick.
Ning Fengzhi smiled faintly. He had just bought many Hidden Weapons from Tang San. "Rongrong, come here quickly. Father misses you too. Let Father give you a hug, and the gift will be yours."
"Gift?" Ning Rongrong ran to her father's side.
Ning Fengzhi wanted to hug Ning Rongrong, but was once again easily dodged by her.
"Hmph, no gift, no hug. Father, you're too biased. You only came home now, making me wait so long, and you still won't give me a gift." Ning Rongrong said aggrievedly.
This time, surprise flashed in Ning Fengzhi's eyes. Even the two old men were dumbfounded.
Ning Fengzhi was a Level 79 Soul Saint. His Strength was very high, and it should have been easy for him to hug Ning Rongrong. Yet, Ning Rongrong had managed to dodge him twice in a row.
"Rongrong, what level are you? Have you been slacking off at Shrek Academy this past year? Father will only give you a gift if you've made progress," Ning Fengzhi said.
"Father, I haven't been slacking off at all. I'm already Level Forty now," Ning Rongrong said proudly, looking at Ning Fengzhi.
"Only this low? Rongrong, you need to work harder. Wait a minute, what did you say? You're already Level Forty?"
"Impossible, Rongrong. You're only thirteen and a half years old, how can you possibly be Level Forty?" Ning Fengzhi's eyes were filled with deep disbelief.
When Ning Rongrong left home, she hadn't even reached Level Thirty.
Now that she was back, she was already Level Forty.
And it had only been a little over a year.
What had happened during this past year?
Ning Rongrong said, "Rongrong would never lie. If you don't believe me, let the two grandpas check." As she spoke, Ning Rongrong ran to Grandpa Sword and extended her small hand.
Grandpa Sword took Ning Rongrong's hand, and in less than a moment, a hint of surprise, even a touch of daze, appeared in his eyes.
"Fengzhi, it's true. This girl's spirit power is indeed Level Forty. It's impossible. Rongrong has improved by at least fifteen levels in just over a year. I've never heard of anyone being able to do that," Grandpa Sword said.
Could it be that Ning Rongrong's talent was just too good?
"Rongrong, tell me how you cultivated this past year," Ning Fengzhi's gaze became serious.
Ning Rongrong's breakthrough was so significant, it was likely due to a secret cultivation method, and such methods might even damage Rongrong's vitality.
They needed to investigate quickly, especially since Ning Rongrong was not by their side and had reached Level Forty so suddenly, it was almost unbelievable.
"It's actually not that much. I was only Level Thirty-Four before. After one day, I directly broke through to Level Forty," Ning Rongrong said with a smile.
Hearing Ning Rongrong's words, everyone became even more worried.
Gaining six levels in one day was absolutely impossible.
"Rongrong, don't scare Grandpa. How did you cultivate? If you used some unorthodox cultivation method, gaining six levels in one day would consume decades of your lifespan," Grandpa Bone said.
"Don't worry about me. It was all thanks to my brother that I could break through so quickly. I ate the Aromatic Silk Beauty, and then I broke through to Level Forty."
"Grandpa Sword, Grandpa Bone, Father, if you don't believe me, just look. It won't cause any harm to my body."
Ning Rongrong raised her right hand, and brilliant, multicolored light condensed in her palm.
Three Spirit Rings swirled around Ning Rongrong.
Seeing Ning Rongrong like this, Grandpa Sword exclaimed in surprise.
"This is... the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda!"
Ning Fengzhi was greatly shocked, looking at Ning Rongrong, he was filled with immense shock.
Ning Rongrong had broken through to Level Forty, and also possessed the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda. This meant that the immortal herb could not possibly cause any harm to Ning Rongrong.
Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo, and Ning Fengzhi were all extremely excited.
With Ning Rongrong's talent alone, she could almost change the destiny of the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!
"Aromatic Silk Beauty, this kind of immortal herb can help us upgrade the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda to the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda."
"Rongrong, where is Ye Chen? Did he not come back with you?" Ning Fengzhi asked.
After all, it was Ye Chen who gave the Aromatic Silk Beauty to Ning Rongrong.
"He's back, he's practicing in the back mountain," Ning Rongrong said with a smile. Thinking of Ye Chen, her heart felt a surge of warmth.
"Take us to see him. We haven't seen Little Chen for so many years. His strength must have become even greater, right?" Ning Fengzhi asked.
"Of course! He's the most powerful one in our Shrek Academy."
"We even defeated the Heaven Dou Royal Academy's team. My brother is the most powerful," Ning Rongrong said.
"Heaven Dou Royal Academy, isn't that the Royal Fighting Team? The captain of the Royal Fighting Team is the successor of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family, Yu Tianheng."
"Little Chen, has he really become that strong now? You even managed to defeat the Royal Fighting Team." Ning Fengzhi's eyes held only deep shock.
After more than a year of not seeing them, Ye Chen and Ning Rongrong had brought him such great surprise.
Ning Fengzhi knew that Support System Soul Masters had very weak combat abilities. He could only imagine the effort Ye Chen had put in to reach this point.
Even after returning to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ye Chen was still cultivating.
Ning Fengzhi revealed a smile of satisfaction at such a child.
In the back mountain.
Everyone saw Ye Chen.
At this moment, Ye Chen was practicing the attack spirit skills of the Nine Spirits Begonia.
All along, Ye Chen felt that the attack power of the Nine Spirits Begonia was too weak, not powerful enough.
This was why Ye Chen was desperately trying to enhance the attack ability of the Nine Spirits Begonia. Only then could he win in battle.
Otherwise, Ye Chen would have to use his Second Spirit Ring and Third Spirit Ring.
Ye Chen did not notice the arrival of everyone. His entire focus was concentrated on this moment.
"Nine Spirits Begonia, the fourth metamorphosis..."
"Ice Spirit Angry God Lotus!"
The faint red light around Ye Chen transformed entirely into ice blue light.
Centered on Ye Chen, an entire stone pillar in front of him instantly turned into an ice sculpture.
The ice sculpture then shattered into pieces in an instant!
Ye Chen's casual strike directly impacted Ning Fengzhi. The strength of the Ice Spirit Angry God Lotus was still incredibly potent, its effects reaching Ning Fengzhi's direction.
Witnessing this attack power, Ning Fengzhi froze in place, even forgetting to dodge.
How could an attack of this aura and level be unleashed by a Support System Soul Master?
Even an Attack System Soul Master might not possess such destructive power.
Had Ye Chen's strength reached this point!
It was only thanks to Sword Douluo's intervention that this strike was blocked. Just a wisp of Ye Chen's aura left everyone feeling a chill.
The current Ye Chen was countless times stronger than he was a year ago!!!
"My heavens..."
"Has Little Chen's spirit power reached level forty-six? He's only thirteen and a half, just like Rongrong." Sword Douluo was stunned.
Ye Chen's spirit power had indeed reached level forty-six, his strength far exceeding everyone's imagination.
"That's right, he is indeed level forty-six, and the power of that move he just used surpassed level forty-six..."
"Among those at the same level, few could withstand this move of his. Is this truly our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Ye Chen?" Bone Douluo smiled faintly.
Looking at Ye Chen, both Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo showed the same doting affection.
Having watched Ye Chen grow up, in their hearts, Ye Chen and Ning Rongrong were equally important.
Beyond simple indulgence, there was also admiration and high regard.
This was the genius of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!
"Rongrong, is this Little Chen's Fourth Spirit Ability?" Ning Fengzhi asked curiously. He had also noticed that Ye Chen's fourth spirit ring was a Ten Thousand Year Spirit Ring.
Perhaps only a Ten Thousand Year Spirit Ring could possess such power.
"No, even I haven't seen his Fourth Spirit Ability."
"My brother's Fourth Spirit Ability is said to be very powerful. He also mentioned that even with all his current spirit power, he could only use it once before his spirit power would be completely depleted," Ning Rongrong said.
Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo, and Ning Fengzhi were completely stunned.
Ye Chen's Fourth Spirit Ability, once used, would deplete his Spirit Energy.
This was enough to prove how powerful this Spirit Ability was.
Ye Chen had already reached Level Forty, but even at Level Forty-Six, he hadn't used his Fourth Spirit Ability once.
Could it be that in all previous battles, no one was able to make Ye Chen use his Fourth Spirit Ability!
Ye Chen was too focused; in cultivation, he was always completely absorbed.
Everyone waited like this, waiting for Ye Chen to finish cultivating.
Ning Rongrong looked at Ye Chen's eyes with a unique joy. She kept looking at him, as if she had forgotten everything around her.
Ning Rongrong originally liked to be lazy, but ever since she started cultivating with Ye Chen, she rarely slacked off.
"Uncle Ning, Grandpa Sword, Grandpa Bone, and Rongrong, when did you all arrive?" Ye Chen quickly ran to Ning Fengzhi, a smile on his face.
To Ye Chen, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect felt as warm as home.
Having never experienced fatherly or motherly love since he was young, Ye Chen felt exceptionally grateful towards the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
"We came to see you cultivate. Little Chen, you're already Level Forty-Six now. Can you let us see your current strength? I'll have Grandpa Sword be your opponent." Ning Fengzhi said with a smile.
Ye Chen looked at Grandpa Sword and shook his head, "That won't do. Grandpa Sword is a Level Ninety-Six Titled Douluo. No matter how strong I am, I can't possibly defeat Grandpa Sword."
Ning Fengzhi smiled slightly, "Little Chen, everyone here is family. Although you've made great progress at Shrek Academy, receiving guidance from Grandpa Sword and Grandpa Bone will be much more beneficial than cultivating on your own."
"With Grandpa Bone here, no one will be able to see the battle happening here. Use Grandpa Sword as your target and have a good spar," Ning Fengzhi said.
Ning Rongrong smiled sweetly and walked directly in front of Ye Chen, linking her arm with his. "Brother, I can help you!"
Sword Douluo looked at Ye Chen and Ning Rongrong with loving eyes. "Little Chen, when did you abduct our Rongrong?"
Ning Rongrong's pretty face flushed. "Grandpa Sword, no, it's not like that."
Sword Douluo said, "No? Fighting Grandpa Sword and not cheering for Grandpa Sword, isn't that being abducted?"
Ye Chen took Ning Rongrong's hand. "Rongrong, go to the back. You don't need to help me. Just being able to spar with Grandpa Sword once will help me improve a lot."
Seeing the small gestures between the two, Ning Fengzhi felt a hint of a smile.
This was hardly a sibling relationship anymore. It seemed that unconsciously, Ye Chen and Ning Rongrong's feelings might not even be noticed by themselves.
Ye Chen looked at Sword Douluo, bowed slightly, and underfoot, four Spirit Rings lit up again, emitting a Powerful Spirit Energy Fluctuation.
Ye Chen also decided not to hide his strength anymore. Grandpa Sword was powerful; how could he possibly get hurt?
Moreover, Sword Douluo is a Titled Douluo, and his swordsmanship far surpasses that of ordinary people.
What Ye Chen lacks most now is experience and training in using the Xuanyuan Holy Sword. He also has no prior experience with swords. Learning from Sword Douluo is actually the best option.
Sword Douluo clasped his hands behind his back, looked at Ye Chen, and chuckled, "Little Chen, if you can make me take one step back, this battle will be considered your victory."
Ye Chen nodded. Although it was just about making Sword Douluo take one step back, only in a real fight would he know how immense the pressure of facing a Titled Douluo was.
Making Sword Douluo take one step back was almost impossible for Ye Chen.
Not to mention defeating Sword Douluo. With Ye Chen's current strength, it was absolutely impossible.
After all, he was only level forty-six, and the gap between him and the level ninety-six Sword Douluo was immeasurable.
However, this was precisely an excellent opportunity for Ye Chen to improve!
Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo both smiled, "Uncle Jian doesn't seem to want Little Chen to win. To make Uncle Jian take one step back, how difficult can that be?"
Ning Rongrong asked curiously, "Father, how difficult is it? My brother is very powerful. He managed to push Teacher Zhao Wuji back ten steps."
Ning Fengzhi exclaimed, "Oh? Then Little Chen's talent is indeed strong. But he is facing your Grandpa Sword. Let alone a Soul Saint, even a Soul Douluo would be instantly killed by a Titled Douluo."
"Even a Soul Douluo couldn't make Grandpa Sword take one step back. However, this battle will allow us to see all of Little Chen's strength, and it will greatly contribute to his progress," Ning Fengzhi said.
From the very beginning of this battle, Ye Chen had no possibility of winning.
Yet, Ye Chen still had to fight.
How difficult it was to make Sword Douluo take one step back.
Unless he resorted to trickery like Xiao Wu and Rongrong, perhaps he could make Sword Douluo take one step back.
But Ye Chen was not that kind of person.
A Soul Douluo is no match for a Titled Douluo in one move. Don't forget, Tang Hao beat up Zhao Wuji, who had activated his martial soul, with his bare hands.
One could imagine the power of a Titled Douluo.
If it were anyone else, it would be absolutely impossible to make Sword Douluo take one step back.
To make Sword Douluo retreat, a miracle would have to occur.
And only Ye Chen had the potential to create this miracle.
"Father, perhaps he can do it."
"Even Grandpa Sword will be stunned when he sees Brother's True Strength. Don't be too surprised," Ning Rongrong said with Confidence.
She also knew that Grandpa Sword would not use his True Strength, otherwise, with Sword Douluo's sword energy, he could directly heavily injure any opponent.
And this was Ye Chen's chance to repel Sword Douluo!
"Grandpa Sword, be careful, I'm afraid I'll hurt you." Ye Chen's four spirit rings erupted, and powerful spirit energy shot out.
"Haha, Little Chen, just come at me with confidence."
"If you can hurt me, won't that just prove your talent and strength? Attack all you want. Your Grandpa Sword isn't that easily injured. Even with your Azure Dragon Spirit, the result would be the same," Sword Douluo chuckled.
Ye Chen looked at Sword Douluo, his combat plan already formed in his mind.
If it were in the past, what Sword Douluo said would indeed be true.
But now, Ye Chen didn't just have the Azure Dragon Spirit; he also possessed a Third Martial Soul.
Ye Chen's Azure Dragon Spirit already had its own spirit rings.
In this battle, Ye Chen still had a possibility of winning. Although it would be difficult, it wasn't impossible. Ye Chen's True Strength – he hadn't even tried to see how far it could erupt.
Fighting Sword Douluo was undoubtedly the best crucible. Ye Chen decided not to hide any of his abilities and to attack with full force!
"Grandpa Sword, then... I'll start attacking."
"Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone, Deification!"
Ye Chen's face was filled with confidence. Right at the start of the battle, he directly used his Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone!
Within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Grandpa Sword, Grandpa Bone, Uncle Ning, and his wife Rongrong were all his own people. Ye Chen didn't need to hide anything, and there was no need to conceal his strength when sparring with Sword Douluo.
When Ye Chen used the Hundred Thousand Year Soul Bone Skill, The age of all his spirit rings increased by ten thousand years!
The colors of Ye Chen's four spirit rings underfoot changed. They were no longer two Purple Thousand Year Spirit Rings.
Instead... they were four Black Ten Thousand Year Spirit Rings!!!
