Chapter 16: Ning Rongrong: I Won't Let Him Have It Easy
The group gathered together. Dai Mubai shook his head with a wry smile and said,
"Originally, I was supposed to be your opponent. You only needed to last one incense stick against me."
As he spoke, he gave Chen Feng a deep look, then said awkwardly,
"Cough, cough. Let me tell you about Teacher Zhao first."
Zhao Wuji, title: Immovable Bright King.
His martial soul was the Vajra Bear, and both his attack and defense were exceptionally formidable.
Ning Rongrong sighed. "So he's the Immovable Bright King?"
It turned out Zhao Wuji had once become enemies with Spirit Hall and forcibly escaped the encirclement of sixteen bishops.
That single battle made him famous!
Next, everyone began introducing their Soul Power and martial souls.
When it was Ning Rongrong's turn, she hesitated for a moment before saying,
"Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, level twenty-six auxiliary Weapon Soul Master."
As soon as she finished speaking, everyone's gazes fell on Ning Rongrong.
Tang San asked in surprise, "Then you're from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"
Then everyone suddenly recalled the Sword Martial Soul Chen Feng had revealed at the beginning.
Could it be...
"Among Sword Soul Masters, Sword Douluo Chen Xin stands above all others. His martial soul is the Seven Kill Sword. You are?" Tang San turned his gaze toward Chen Feng.
The moment those words came out, Ning Rongrong's expression instantly fell.
She had already felt an awkward discomfort earlier and had kept avoiding it.
Well, now it had finally been laid bare.
Chen Feng smiled faintly. "A few days ago, my family and I left the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
Tang San, Xiao Wu, and Zhu Zhuqing were all dumbfounded.
The world really was small!
The matter between Sword Douluo and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had caused an enormous uproar recently.
How many Soul Masters could possibly not know about it?
The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda was the strongest auxiliary martial soul.
Every additional Soul Ring brought a ten percent boost!
Once it reached level seventy or above, it could directly boost seven attributes by eighty percent.
It was practically a cheat!
The greatest weakness of this martial soul, however, was its lack of offensive power.
So it was easy to imagine what a devastating blow the departure of Sword Douluo's lineage would be to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!
And now, the two people at the center of the uproar across Soul Master Continent were standing right before them?
"Everyone, make the most of the time. One incense stick will pass quickly," Chen Feng reminded them.
Only then did everyone snap back to their senses and hurriedly discuss a strategy.
Soon, one incense stick's worth of time had passed, and they had settled on a plan.
Ning Rongrong glared viciously at Chen Feng, but since they had to face Zhao Wuji together, she could only put aside her grudge for now.
The battle began.
Ning Rongrong summoned a Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda and softly said,
"Seven Treasures Named: first, strength; second, speed!"
Tang San used Blue Silver Grass to control the field.
Xiao Wu rushed forward and immediately unleashed a Death Scissors Kick.
As an agility-based attack Soul Master, Zhu Zhuqing displayed astonishing speed the moment she entered the field.
Her eyes changed color, one like an emerald and the other like a sapphire.
Claws extended from her hands—Netherworld Hundred Claws!
She struck straight at vital points.
As for Chen Feng, he did not rush forward.
The next moment, all of Tang San and the others' attacks failed!
Zhao Wuji's defense was simply too formidable.
At that very instant, Chen Feng drew his sword!
His second yellow hundred-year Soul Ring lit up.
"Ten Thousand Swords Return to Origin!"
Dozens, even hundreds, of Heavenly Dao Swords shot toward Zhao Wuji!
This was a soul skill Chen Feng had possessed even before transmigrating.
From this alone, Sword Douluo Chen Xin had treated him quite well!
Sword drawn!
A chilling killing aura swept across the entire field!
Zhao Wuji's brownish-yellow eyes widened as he hurriedly summoned his martial soul.
A thick layer of brown fur covered his body, and his figure grew to over two meters tall.
"Roar!"
A furious roar exploded as the first yellow hundred-year Soul Ring beneath Zhao Wuji's feet lit up.
Immovable Bright King Body!
Within the intense golden light, Zhu Zhuqing was sent flying.
Xiao Wu fared no better, coughing up blood in midair.
Chen Feng had been waiting for this.
The instant Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing were blasted away, his body flashed.
He caught them both, one in each arm!
But because of that, he was now closer.
How could Zhao Wuji let such an opportunity slip by? His speed suddenly surged.
In the blink of an eye, he arrived before Chen Feng, his fan-like palm slamming down.
"Spirit Sword Guard!"
Chen Feng's first yellow Soul Ring lit up, and sword qi formed a defensive barrier.
In only one second, the barrier shattered!
Then Xiao Wu's second Soul Ring unexpectedly lit up as well.
"Charm!"
"Don't use it!" Chen Feng hurriedly warned her.
He had never intended to attack. In only a moment, he had already temporarily withdrawn from the battlefield.
Thanks to his timely warning, Xiao Wu did not suffer a backlash.
However, she was currently being held in Chen Feng's arms, and the feeling was strangely unfamiliar.
A flush instantly spread across her face.
Then Tang San turned his gaze over, his blood boiling with rage.
This guy! He actually dared to hold Xiao Wu?
Even though he knew they were in the middle of a battle, he still felt bitter, jealous, and furious.
As for Zhu Zhuqing, she had been knocked unconscious from the start.
Still, this girl really had quite the figure!
Chen Feng felt the soft undulations against his hand and was somewhat surprised.
Then he walked over to Ning Rongrong and said,
"Take care of them."
Ning Rongrong flew into a rage. "Are you ordering me around?"
But when her gaze landed on Chen Feng's hands, she became even angrier.
This guy really knew how to take advantage of girls!
I definitely won't let him have it easy!
With that thought, she supported Xiao Wu and Zhu Zhuqing...
Meanwhile, Tang San was not having an easy time on the battlefield.
Zhao Wuji swatted at him, and the barrier formed from Blue Silver Grass instantly collapsed.
Tang San's face turned deathly pale.
Just at that critical moment, Zhao Wuji stopped and said,
"No need to keep fighting, right? You've already lost. You can't even last one incense stick against me."
But Tang San was already burning with rage!
Because of this battle, not only had his beloved Xiao Wu been injured, she had also been held by another man!
So he vented all his anger on the Immovable Bright King.
"I want to fight you seriously! Please light another incense stick!"
A trace of admiration appeared in Zhao Wuji's eyes as he said,
"Are you sure you want to continue?"
Ding! Congratulations to the host for causing Tang San's mentality to begin falling into chaos. Reward: five hundred Villain Points! Ding! Xiao Wu has developed a slight strange feeling. Main Quest progress has reached 33%!
Hearing the system prompts, Chen Feng was very satisfied.
Just as expected!
It seemed Xiao Wu provided a greater boost to the Main Quest!
Just a slight emotional fluctuation had advanced the quest progress by two percent!
Meanwhile, Tang San and Zhao Wuji were already locked in a fierce, evenly matched battle.
Seeing this, Chen Feng's eyes gleamed with amusement.
"Good. Everything is proceeding according to plan!"
At that moment, Dai Mubai walked over and glanced at Zhu Zhuqing.
Only after confirming that she was not seriously hurt did he turn to Chen Feng and click his tongue.
"I really couldn't tell!"
"Tang San's got some guts!"
"He actually dared to challenge Teacher Zhao alone!"
Chen Feng's expression turned strange.
Seriously?
Had you been drawn in by the Son of Destiny's personal charm again?
