Ning Fengzhi Arrives

"Hehe~" Mu Chen lay on the bed with a grin, feeling quite content as he watched his wife's bashful expression.

"I'm leaving, you bad guy." Qian Renxue transformed back into Xue Qinghe, then left the room as well, leaving Mu Chen alone inside to recuperate.

However, as Xue Qinghe departed, her gaze turned in the direction of Spirit City.

I still need to make a trip to Spirit Hall. Otherwise, Spirit Hall might do something to Little Chen...

That evening, Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo finally arrived at Moonlight Pavilion. When they had first received the news, the two of them had nearly been frightened to death.

It was Rongrong's first time coming to Heaven Dou City, yet something like this had happened. As her father, Ning Fengzhi truly could not accept it.

Fortunately, Little Chen had saved Ning Rongrong at the critical moment. Otherwise, Ning Fengzhi might really have gone mad.

"Little Chen, it's good that you're all right this time. Not one of those who hurt Rongrong will get away!"

Although Ning Fengzhi was a refined gentleman, when he truly became ruthless, he was fiercer than most. After all, he was the sect master of such a massive sect and needed a certain degree of strength and iron-blooded resolve.

"If Fengzhi and Little Chen hadn't stopped me, I would've slaughtered those bastards myself long ago. Hmph!" Sword Douluo said, gripping the Seven Kill Sword in his hand.

"Uncle Sword, don't worry. Xue Ye will give us a satisfactory explanation," Ning Fengzhi said calmly.

"Enough of that.

"Little Chen, after two years of study, it's clear you've changed quite a bit.

"How has your cultivation been? Rongrong cultivated very diligently back at the sect and has already reached level 29."

Ning Fengzhi did not want them to keep discussing such an unpleasant matter after they had finally reunited. More importantly, the matter's resolution was already set in stone.

"Uncle Ning, I've already reached level 30. In fact, I reached level 30 some time ago. I'm just waiting to obtain my third soul ring," Mu Chen said.

"More importantly, Little Chen has comprehended Sword Momentum. You must understand that Little Chen is only eleven years old. He's already a level-30 prospective Soul Elder. In the future, he will certainly surpass me," Sword Douluo added.

In his view, Soul Power cultivation was not as important as sword cultivation. Sword cultivation required even greater talent, while Soul Power cultivation could be attained simply by spending enough time.

"Little Chen, your requirements for your third soul ring must be very high. Could it be that even the soul beasts in Sunset Forest cannot meet your needs, which is why you aren't in a hurry to obtain your third soul ring?" Ning Fengzhi asked.

"Uncle Ning is right. My third soul ring should be a defensive-type soul ring. Aside from pure physical defense, it would be best if it could also resist mental and energy attacks. If it could counter control-type Soul Skills, that would be even more perfect.

"As for its age and the type of soul beast, I've already decided on both.

"However, I think there's only a chance of finding the soul beast I want in the Star Dou Great Forest," Mu Chen said.

At Moonlight Pavilion, even if he could take leave to obtain his third soul ring, there would not be a sufficiently powerful expert to assist him.

His current strength was still insufficient to protect his own safety, much less hunt the high-age, high-quality soul beast he wanted.

"The Star Dou Great Forest?

"That is the largest soul beast forest on the entire continent, as well as the most dangerous. There are places within it that even Titled Douluo would not dare enter lightly. It is exceedingly perilous.

"The hundred-thousand-year Titan Giant Ape and Sky Azure Bull Python are both existences stronger than ordinary Titled Douluo. In a one-on-one fight, very few humans can handle them," Bone Douluo's hoarse voice sounded from the side.

"There's no need to worry too much. As long as we don't go too deep into the Star Dou Great Forest, it will be fine," Sword Douluo added.

"Yes, the age of my third soul ring will be around five thousand years. Though the type is rare, it should still be located in the mixed zone of the Star Dou Great Forest, not yet within the core region," Mu Chen said.

Actually, your understanding of the Star Dou Great Forest is far too limited. Very few humans even know the name of the Sky Azure Bull Python.

But above those two are several great ferocious beasts. Even a Limit Douluo would be finished if they encountered them, not to mention the Silver Dragon King at the bottom of the Lake of Life. She is an existence without equal on the Douluo Continent.

Compared with them, the Titan Giant Ape and Sky Azure Bull Python are nothing more than weaklings among weaklings.

"Good. Once I settle Rongrong's matter, Uncle Sword will accompany you," Ning Fengzhi said.

"Of course. Little Chen is my disciple," Sword Douluo immediately agreed. The group then chatted and ate amid laughter, creating a rather warm atmosphere.

"Little Chen, what do you think of Xue Qinghe? I heard that Qinghe played quite a significant role in this incident too, didn't he?" As they talked, Ning Fengzhi eventually returned to the subject.

"His Highness the Crown Prince is generous and benevolent. He has his own principles, yet he does not act on emotion.

"More importantly, he is intelligent. He understands his identity, as well as what he should and should not do.

"His Highness and I met at Moonlight Pavilion, and we have quite a good relationship," Mu Chen said.

Mm, very good indeed. We sleep in the same bed—how could it not be good? But Uncle Ning, Little Chen has deceived all of you in this matter. Still, I will not harm the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

After all, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is where I grew up. You are all our closest elders. I will not hurt you. Once the timing is right, I will resolve the conflict between you and Spirit Hall.

Mu Chen smiled sincerely at the three elders around him and reached over to rub Ning Rongrong's head.

"If you can become Little Chen's friend, then it seems I ought to offer more support to my nominal disciple. I'll help Qinghe more when it comes to Xue Ye," Ning Fengzhi said with a faint smile.

Those words meant he had chosen a side and made his stance clear. Originally, Ning Fengzhi had not wanted to involve himself in the Heaven Dou Royal Family's succession struggle, since he was merely an outsider. However, this incident had given him much to consider.

What had happened today was not an isolated occurrence, but something all too common. In the past, Ning Fengzhi could pretend not to know and turn a blind eye.

But once it happened to him, Ning Fengzhi could truly understand just how devastating the harm caused by such matters could be.
