Becoming Yu Mengdi's Nightmare
Just now, he learned from Brother Sky Dream and Ice Empress that the Soul Beast Embryo was Snow Empress.
I was utterly shocked.
After confirming the identity of the person in the private room through Brother Sky Dream's Soul Skill, he hesitated.
For a moment, I had absolutely no idea what to do.
Although Senior Ning Que is strict and difficult to get along with, he is still very nice to him.
To be honest, Senior Ning Que has been a great help in getting me to where I am today.
Having offered no help whatsoever, he went directly to the other party's door demanding Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast Embryo. The other party wasn't stupid; why would they give it to him?
That was a priceless treasure that cost 220 million to acquire!
"Ice Empress, I'm still too weak. Once I'm stronger, we'll go find Senior Ning and see what price we can pay to get Snow Empress back."
In the end, Huo Yuhao chose to give up.
The gap is too big.
What can he do?
Moreover, they are not enemies.
"Yu Hao, you can find an opportunity to get closer to Ning Que. Once you've developed a relationship, make a deal with him. Whether it's Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring or Soul Bone, I can help you find it, as long as it can bring back Snow Empress."
Ice Empress knew that doing so would put Huo Yuhao in a difficult position, but for the sake of Snow Empress, she had no choice but to do so.
Even the Ice Empress was prepared to sell the Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast from the Far North.
"Good!"
Huo Yuhao agreed; after all, this was a direction to take.
Soon, the auction house delivered the Soul Beast Embryo to Ning Que.
After confirming that everything was correct, Ning Que asked Elder Yang to send it back to the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect.
With Elder Yang temporarily gone, Ning Que will keep a low profile and lie low for the foreseeable future.
Aside from playing matches, he spends the rest of his time cultivating or researching Soul Tool.
Even on the field, he no longer shone as brightly as before.
To put it bluntly, Ning Que's behavior is that of a bully relying on his master's power; to put it more kindly, he knows when to advance and retreat, understands the big picture, and seeks good fortune while avoiding harm.
Fortunately, the Shrek's official members have almost fully recovered. Although the opponents they face will become stronger as time goes on, they will still be able to overcome them.
During this process, Zhao Long got a chance to play, while Jing Ye, who was relatively weaker, was just a supporting player and a substitute.
"Young Master, the woman you repelled with your spear has come looking for you."
Having just won a match, Ning Que was preparing to return to continue his cultivation when Jin Sheng came to inform him that someone wanted to see him.
"Yu Mengdi?"
"Let her in!"
Ning Que was not surprised by this; his shot had left something in Yu Mengdi's Sea of Consciousness.
It will be no easy task for the other party to overcome this mental barrier.
She'll come knocking on your door sooner or later.
Afterwards, Ning Que received Yu Mengdi.
After a few days apart, Yu Mengdi had changed completely.
His eyes were bloodshot, and he looked extremely weak, as if he were constantly Douluo I against a powerful being.
"I want to fight you again!"
"It's a battle between just you and me!"
Upon meeting Ning Que, Yu Mengdi revealed her purpose without hesitation.
She's been driven to the brink of madness lately.
That shot haunted her like Nightmare.
As soon as you close your eyes, the scene on the field will appear before your eyes.
Yu Mengdi knew she had to break free from this Nightmare, otherwise she wouldn't even be able to calm down and meditate, and would have no hope of making any further progress in this life.
So, even though she knew it was presumptuous, she still came.
"Are you sure you won't be left with deeper trauma if you fight me?"
"There's no need for a life-or-death confrontation. I can help you calm down, but I need to make one thing clear: me helping you overcome your inner demons and you overcoming them yourself are two completely different outcomes."
The choice is yours!
Ning Que did not intend to help the other party break free from their mental constraints at this time.
If the other party can break through and emerge from the shadows on their own, they will be able to take a further step, which is naturally a good thing.
But if that's not possible, then wait for the Guyi to appear before helping the other party.
In fact, he could have easily brought the Angel Clan of Yu Mengdi's lineage under the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect, but that would have been far too deliberate and obvious.
Why would he dare to do such a thing even though he knew that Ye Guyi and Jin Sheng were remnants of the Spirit Hall from ten thousand years ago? The reason is that he comes from the Nine Treasures Glazed Sect.
Even if he didn't admit it, Ning Que couldn't ignore the fact that Ning Rongrong's identity as the Nine-Colored Goddess did bring some convenience when they had the ability to cause trouble.
That's why he can't be too impulsive; knowing when to stop and maintaining a proper balance is the wise thing to do.
His so-called "unconventionality" naturally did not refer to the Douluo Continent, but rather to the perspective of those in the Divine Realm.
That's why they didn't continue to try to recruit Yu Mengdi's lineage of the Angel Clan.
"How do I choose?"
Upon hearing Ning Que's words, Yu Mengdi hesitated.
She naturally understood this principle.
But can I really break free from this Nightmare through my own willpower?
"I have my own principles; all you need to do Douluo I."
"Whether I succeed or not, I am willing to bear any cost!"
After much deliberation, Yu Mengdi made her decision.
She didn't need Ning Que to help her resolve the gloom in her heart; she wanted to prove with her own strength that she could break free from these constraints.
"Can!"
Ning Que did not refuse.
Then the two found a small Soul Fighting Arena and had a battle.
The battle was between the two of them, one Power Attack System Soul King and the other a Support System Soul King, locked in a fierce duel.
Without a doubt, Ning Que still won.
The Nightmare in Yu Mengdi's heart became increasingly difficult to escape.
She seemed completely lost.
"I'll come back to challenge you again!"
As she was leaving, Yu Mengdi uttered these words listlessly.
Why did it come to this?
Ning Que looked in the direction Yu Mengdi had left, and gently shook his head. This time, he had truly held back.
But the other party insisted on experiencing that shot again in the ring.
And that led to the current situation.
"Young Master, I also want to face the sharpness of your spear."
As the only spectator among the two, Jin Sheng clearly saw Yu Mengdi's fate, but he still wanted to give it a try.
His intuition told him that as long as he could withstand the mental pressure brought by the Young Master's shot, he could advance further.
The process is dangerous and costly, but it's worth the try!
"Is this really the case?"
Ning Que didn't find Jin Sheng's request foolish at all; instead, a hint of appreciation appeared in his eyes.
