Theatrical Version Plot? Luofan Takes a Titled Douluo's Attack Head-On?

"Is this... Sword Dao Chen Xin from the Theatrical Version?" Luofan's heart stirred as he listened to Ning Rongrong's tearful account.

In his previous life, Douluo had been a novel, an anime, a comic—and it had a Theatrical Version too.

Luofan recalled the broad outline of its plot.

In short, when Ning Rongrong was about six, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had gone to Spirit Hall's Soul Master Tournament and been attacked.

Chen Xin had been taking the Asura God Trial and was on the verge of becoming a god. Yet he had chosen to destroy the Asura Sword in an explosion and take on Qian Daoliu head-on, hadn't he?

Luofan was about half a year older than Ning Rongrong, so it really was time for her to awaken her Martial Soul.

And the events involving Sword Dao Chen Xin in the Theatrical Version had happened around the time Ning Rongrong awakened hers, hadn't they?

I've already left the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, so its affairs have nothing to do with me!

Looking at Ning Rongrong, Luofan opened his mouth, wanting to steel his heart and say it aloud.

But with her eyes brimming with tears, he couldn't get the words out.

"Then what do you want me to do?" Luofan asked her after a moment of silence.

"I..." Ning Rongrong opened her mouth, but she didn't know what to say.

If she had run into Luofan under ordinary circumstances, she would certainly have found a way to drag him back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!

But now?

She was hiding from place to place herself. How could she drag Luofan into that life with her?

"Brother Luofan, where did you go after leaving the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect? How have you been?" Ning Rongrong asked after another pause.

"You're as sly as ever..." Luofan said with a faint smile. He raised a hand and flicked her forehead without mercy.

He had to admit, flicking someone's forehead felt pretty good.

No wonder Qian Renxue had liked flicking his!

Of course Luofan understood why Ning Rongrong was asking about the past six months.

She could barely protect herself right now, so she wasn't pressing him to return to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

But she could find out where he was, then come looking for him once this crisis had passed, couldn't she?

"Heh..." Her little scheme exposed, Ning Rongrong gave him a sheepish smile and rubbed her forehead.

Grrr...

Just then, Ning Rongrong's stomach growled.

Her cheeks flushed, and she looked rather embarrassed.

"Come on. I'll get you something to eat," Luofan said.

Ning Rongrong didn't ask for a table full of delicious food. She simply had Luofan buy her some bread and milk, packed some clean water, and prepared to leave.

"I'll take this back and eat with Sword Grandpa," Ning Rongrong said, packing up the food they had just bought.

"You've grown up a lot, Rongrong," Luofan said with some feeling.

Back at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Rongrong had acted more like a spoiled young lady—the sect's little terror!

But when it mattered, she was surprisingly dependable.

As far as Luofan was concerned, Ning Rongrong might have been sharp-tongued and arrogant early on in the original Douluo story.

But as the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, she had a strong moral compass. Stronger than Dai Mubai's or Tang San's, at least!

"Brother Luofan, where have you been these past six months? Where should Rongrong go to find you later?" As they were about to part, Ning Rongrong tried asking him again.

Luofan replied, "You don't need to ask. We'll definitely meet again someday!"

He was relying on Qian Renxue now, and her other identity, Xue Qinghe, was Ning Fengzhi's disciple.

So another meeting with Ning Rongrong was practically certain!

Boom!

Ning Rongrong clearly wasn't satisfied with that answer. She opened her mouth, about to press him further.

But at that moment, a violent commotion erupted not far from Small Town. Countless Flying Swords streaked across the sky overhead!

"Sword Grandpa..."

Ning Rongrong knew at once that Sword Grandpa had been found. She cried out and rushed toward the commotion!

"Rongrong, come back!"

That's a fight between Titled Douluo! She's charging straight in? Isn't she afraid at all?

Uneasy, Luofan followed her.

In the distance, he could see a Titled Douluo from Spirit Hall fighting Chen Xin.

Chen Xin was stronger, but he was already injured, and several Spirit Hall Soul Douluo were supporting his opponent. That left him at a disadvantage.

"Sword Grandpa, Rongrong will help you beat the bad guy!"

Ning Rongrong ran up and saw that Chen Xin was struggling. She shouted at the top of her lungs!

As she spoke, she raised a hand. A translucent glazed pagoda appeared above it—her Martial Soul—with a yellow Soul Ring circling it!

"Seven Treasures Have Names, first: Strength!"

Ning Rongrong activated her only Soul Skill to boost Chen Xin.

"Rongrong? You..." Chen Xin glanced at her, his pupils contracting.

He clearly hadn't expected a One-Ring Soul Master like her to charge straight into a battle between Titled Douluo!

An opening!

Spotting the opening in Chen Xin's defense, Spirit Hall's Arbitration Elder, Tuoba Xuanfeng, immediately swung his sword. A storm followed the blade as it slashed toward Chen Xin!

Chen Xin focused and hastily swung his Seven Kill Sword. Dozens of blades formed from sword energy surged forward to meet the attack!

But he was already on the back foot. His hurried defense couldn't stop his opponent's full-force strike, and the storm of sword energy drove him backward!

At the same time, dozens of Seven Kill Swords formed from sword energy were hurled away by the violent storm, scattering in every direction!

Rumble...

One stray sword struck a house, collapsing it outright!

Another swept through Small Town's clock tower, cutting it in half!

And one more flew straight toward Ning Rongrong!

Oh no! At the sight, Chen Xin, Luofan, and even Tuoba Xuanfeng all had the same thought!

Luofan and Sword Douluo Chen Xin were naturally worried about Ning Rongrong's safety!

Tuoba Xuanfeng's aim was simple: he needed to capture Ning Rongrong to force Ning Fengzhi to comply.

If Ning Rongrong died by accident, Ning Fengzhi would fight Spirit Hall to the bitter end!

But Chen Xin and Tuoba Xuanfeng were locked in a clash with all their strength. Even if they wanted to stop the sword, neither could act in time!

Hum!

Just then, Luofan made his move!

He raised a hand. His nine-story Golden Exquisite Pagoda Martial Soul appeared, and two purple Soul Rings emerged!

Second Soul Skill: Shield!
