Li Sen smiled and looked at Ning Fengzhi.
"Sect Master Ning, you've shown real sincerity."
"How about this? I'll give you three more small conditions. If you agree, I'll tell you about Martial Soul Evolution Theory and help you evolve your martial soul."
Ning Fengzhi's pupils abruptly widened, his eyes gleaming as his body trembled with excitement.
If Li Sen said he could help evolve his martial soul, didn't that mean Martial Soul Evolution Theory could definitely evolve the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda?
"Name them! As long as you don't ask for the destruction of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, I'll agree!!!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Ning Fengzhi gave his answer, firm enough to cut nails and sever iron.
Li Sen smiled and said mildly, "You should hear my conditions first."
"First, my disciple was injured because of Ning Rongrong, but Bone Douluo was the one who actually struck him. So he has to fight me in a moment!"
To him, having Ning Rongrong delivered here was, at most, an amusing way to pass the time and temper her disposition. He lost nothing.
Ultimately, she hadn't injured Tang San. Gu Rong was the real issue.
All right, deep down, he did have a little desire to bully Ning Rongrong, with her delicate features and skin as fair and soft as a porcelain doll's.
Beside him, Ning Fengzhi was dumbfounded.
Gu Rong was a Level 95 Super Douluo who could fight two or three Titled Douluo in the low nineties!
For a young man in his twenties, even breaking through to Level 90 would be a miracle. Could he possibly have reached Level 95?
Was he asking for a beating?
Hearing this, Tang San almost broke into a foolish grin on the spot.
Even Tang Hao, upon seeing him beaten, had only intervened to stop it and demanded a little compensation.
Li Sen was stepping up to beat the culprit right back.
Tang San declared inwardly, From now on, Li Sen is my father and master!!!
Before Ning Fengzhi could speak, the deeply aggrieved Gu Rong said loudly, "I agree!"
His face was full of anticipation.
As a Titled Douluo, he had been afraid of ruining things and had bottled up his anger for days. Now, he could finally vent it.
Li Sen ignored him and looked at Ning Fengzhi instead.
Ning Fengzhi nodded. "I agree."
Li Sen continued, "The second condition: you and your family can use the martial soul evolution method I teach you, but you cannot pass it on to outsiders."
Ning Fengzhi nodded again. "No problem."
Li Sen continued, "The third condition: I'm going to establish an academy, and you must support it with both manpower and money."
After hearing all three conditions, Ning Fengzhi smiled.
That's it?
He felt none of the hesitation and heartache he had felt when delivering his daughter.
He said heartily, "I agree to all of them!"
"Good. Give the gold soul coins to my disciple. I'll tell you the martial soul evolution method later."
"Now, Bone Douluo, come with me somewhere deserted so our battle won't harm innocent people."
As he spoke, Li Sen looked at Tang San and pointed at Ning Rongrong, who was tiptoeing toward the stairs. "Xiao San, don't let that little girl get away."
While Li Sen spoke, a Blue Silver Tree Branch shot out like a rope.
Before Ning Rongrong could react, blue-green vines bound her like a silkworm cocoon and tossed her down in front of Tang San, where she wriggled.
She had no tears left to cry. She wanted to beg for mercy, but the vines had sealed her mouth tightly too.
Unable to bear watching, Bone Douluo turned and flew out of the hotel.
Seeing this, Li Sen spread his Dragon Wings and followed with a swish.
With strength rivaling a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, Li Sen already had little to worry about before Bibi Dong and Qian Renxue became gods.
Ning Fengzhi's pupils contracted, and he blurted out, "That's an external soul bone!!!"
Before he could think further, the sight of Li Sen keeping pace with Bone Douluo swept every thought from his mind.
More than ten kilometers outside Suotuo City.
Gu Rong stopped and stared blankly at Li Sen, who had followed behind him.
Yellow, purple, purple, black, black, red.
The disciple Tang San's second soul ring exceeded the usual limit, and his master Li Sen's second and fourth soul rings did too.
Most importantly, Li Sen only had Six Rings. What justified the rumors that his physical body alone made him a Physical Battle Soul Saint, with strength on par with a Titled Douluo?
It would have been one thing if a fellow Titled Douluo had refused to give him face. He had never expected the other party to be a mere Soul Emperor who had just laid down so many conditions.
Even his beloved Ning Rongrong had to be sacrificed!
Gu Rong was baffled.
Gu Rong was furious.
Gu Rong said in a sinister tone, "Boy, you'd better surrender immediately if you can't beat me. I can't guarantee I'll control the force of my blows!"
Considering that Li Sen still held the martial soul evolution theory and had Tang Hao backing him, Gu Rong wouldn't kill him.
Crippling him, however, was another matter.
Boom!
Nine soul rings in the optimal configuration lit up.
Gu Rong immediately activated Martial Soul Possession, summoning a ferocious giant dragon martial soul with snow-white bones.
Bone Dragon!!!
"Roar!"
The bone dragon martial soul let out a furious roar, trying to intimidate Li Sen.
Li Sen scoffed. Luo Sanpao abruptly appeared beside him, swelling to more than forty meters in length.
His Dragon Wings spread, lightning surged, and three black soul rings circled him.
"Roar!"
A pure dragon's roar swept across heaven and earth, meeting the Bone Dragon head-on.
Faced with that provocation and those malicious words, Li Sen refused to yield an inch.
"Old Bones, you'd better be careful. Don't let that old body of yours fall apart!"
Li Sen's words were brazen.
After cultivating for so long, ever since obtaining his Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring, only four Limit Douluo posed a threat to him: Bibi Dong, Qian Daoliu, Hai Bodong, and Tang Chen.
Of those four, Bibi Dong was the Supreme Pontiff and could hardly go out to hunt someone down.
Qian Daoliu guarded the Worship Hall and practically never left.
Tang Chen had been ambushed by a bat soul beast in the City of the Slaughter God, which had taken over his body, leaving him unable to escape.
Hai Bodong was even more firmly bound, unable to leave Sea God Island.
As far as Li Sen was concerned, soul beasts aside, even if there were humans he couldn't defeat, none could kill him!
Seeing Luo Sanpao, Gu Rong's pupils trembled violently, and he said in a shaking voice, "Twin martial souls!"
"You actually have twin martial souls!!!"
Li Sen couldn't be bothered with his astonishment and immediately began stacking skills.
Eight Gates.
Lightning Body.
The Blue Silver Tree's healing.
Luo Sanpao's enhancement.
Whoosh!
In less than half a second, with all his enhancements activated, Li Sen spread his Dragon Wings and hurtled toward Gu Rong.
Gu Rong's pupils tightened, his sixth sense constantly warning him of danger.
"A Soul Emperor, and my instincts are actually telling me I'm in danger!"
He dared not be careless in the slightest, instantly activating his Martial Soul True Avatar as his nine soul rings flashed.
Rumble!
The two collided, and Gu Rong's expression changed drastically. He finally understood why Li Sen was rumored to possess strength comparable to a Titled Douluo.
More than ten kilometers away, the rumbling could still be heard in Suotuo City.
A passerby marveled, "What mighty experts are fighting nearby? We can hear the commotion even without seeing them!"
Ning Fengzhi's expression was grave.
To fight Bone Douluo so fiercely, Li Sen definitely possessed the strength of a Super Douluo.
About two hours later...
Li Sen and Gu Rong returned to the hotel together.
Li Sen's face was slightly flushed.
Gu Rong's face was a little pale.
Without a word, Tang San hurried forward to support Li Sen carefully, watching Gu Rong and Ning Fengzhi warily.
Ning Fengzhi's expression changed dramatically. He hadn't expected Gu Rong to look pale.
Had he... lost?
Li Sen looked at Ning Fengzhi. "Come tomorrow evening, and I'll tell you about Martial Soul Evolution Theory. Please leave for now."
Not a trace of pride remained in Ning Fengzhi's heart. He cupped his fists and said, "Teacher Li, we'll take our leave, then!"
He grabbed the silent Gu Rong and hurried away.
"Blargh!"
Inside the hotel, Li Sen stepped into his room and raised a hand to erect a Soul Power Barrier. Then his small mouth opened, and blood poured out in torrents, covering more than a square meter of floor.
Under the light, the blood was painfully vivid.
Tang San cried out, "Master, hang on! I'll heal you right away!"
Seeing him about to summon the Blue Silver King, Li Sen raised a hand to stop him.
He forced a smile. "Don't worry, Xiao San. It's only a fatal injury."
"I've suffered little injuries like this countless times while body tempering."
"That Gu Rong isn't much better off than I am."
Tang San didn't believe him. He checked Li Sen's pulse and found that the situation was far from reassuring.
Ninety percent of his soul power was gone, all his internal organs were injured, his meridians were riddled with cracks, and the muscles throughout his body were on the verge of collapse.
With injuries like these, only Li Sen, with his Blue Silver Tree, powerful physique, and abundant vitality, could still look rosy-cheeked and talk to others as though nothing had happened.
Madness flickered in Tang San's eyes. "Master, don't panic. I'll go find my father right now!"
"I'll go down with them!"
"If my father won't destroy the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, I'll kill myself immediately! After losing his wife, he can suffer the loss of his son too!!!"
Even as Li Sen felt touched, he suddenly realized something was wrong.
He seemed to have raised Tang San into a yandere.
Would he end up refusing to marry even Xiao Wu at his side, change his sex, and set his sights on me instead?!
