LIGHTNOVELWORLD Chapter 58: chapter 58
"What did the master say just now?" A disciple in the square pinched the flesh on the waist of a nearby disciple, seemingly unsure whether he was dreaming.
"It hurts Pinch yourself if you're still unsure" The person next to him replied with some irritation.
However, it only took a moment for the disciple to realize the pain he felt meant he wasn't dreaming What the Clan head had said was real. Their Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan was going to have three Douluos?
Ning Fengzhi was greatly satisfied by the reactions of the disciples below. Even he himself people were still shocked by the news. He could already imagine how much excitement this news would cause once it spread throughout the continent.
"Haha, let the spies from other sects spread the word! Let the reputation of my Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan reach every corner of the continent!" With Ning Fengzhi's sharp mind, he already knew the identities of many of the spies in his clan. However, he chose not to expose them. He understood that even if some spies were eliminated, Spirit Hall would only send new ones. Instead, he planned to use the spies to spread the news that Yin mengyang had broken through to the Titled Douluo level. This would divert everyone's attention toward Yin mengyang, allowing the strength of the other two veteran Titled Douluos in the clan, as well as Ning Fengzhi himself to remain more secret.
And the more they focused on Yin mengyang, the less attention would be paid to the significant improvements in the strength of Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo, and even Ning Fengzhi himself.
"Tomorrow, Uncle Gu and I will take Elder Yin mengyang to the Xingdou Great Forest to hunt for his ninth soul ring. Meanwhile, two more chairs need to be made in the Seven Treasures Hall for our future guardian Douluos" Ning Fengzhi ordered.
"Why two?" someone below questioned. Only Yin Mengyang had been given the title, so why two chairs?
"Idiot, don't you know that the clan head has obsessive-compulsive disorder? If we build only one, it will be uneven! Besides, the fourth one will be a motivational symbol for others. Can't you see? The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan isn't lacking money for another seat!" Someone cleverly explained Ning Fengzhi's reasoning.
Ning Fengzhi, of course, would not reveal the true reason yet and the matter concerning Dugu Bo would be disclosed only after he and chrysanthemum Douluo had settled their grudge.
The next morning, Ning Fengzhi set out with Bone Douluo and Yin mengyang, while Sword Douluo remained at the sect They weren't just going to help Yin mengyang obtain his ninth soul ring they were also going to assist Ning Fengzhi in obtaining his eighth soul ring.
Meanwhile Tianlin sat cross-legged in his room. With everyone else having absorbed the medicinal pills, he was now free to absorb his soul bone without distractions.
The soul bone he had obtained was over 60,000 years old, and it would greatly enhance his attributes in all aspects.
As for Ning Rongrong, Ning Fengzhi had temporarily put away her Bu Tian Dan. After taking it himself Ning Fengzhi realized its power was so overwhelming that he feared Ning Rongrong's young body wouldn't be able to handle it so he decided it would be safer for her to wait until she had reached the Soul grand master level before taking it.
[TL:not sure about when she's gonna absorb it since even on the raw chapter (i use google translate to read it) it was said soul master]
Tianlin, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo all agreed with this decision.
As for Ning Rongrong, she didn't mind at all. She was still young and didn't bear the responsibility of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan and moreover, she didn't have a strong desire for power. In her heart, she knew that with her father, Grandpa Bone, Grandpa Sword, Grandpa Eagle, and Brother Sword by her side, no one would dare to bully her.
At this moment, Ning Rongrong sat quietly beside Tianlin, watching him absorb the soul bone. She was considerate enough not to disturb him.
Meanwhile, deep in the Sunset Forest, in a desolate and poisonous area devoid of life, Dugu Bo walked slowly. He had issued a declaration of war to chrysanthemum Douluo of the Spirit Hall, and today was the day of their duel.
"After all these years, old poison, you've finally accepted your fate. You're here to seek death" a charming male voice suddenly echoed from the woods. It was the contemporary Titled Douluo and the face of Spirit Hall, Chrysanthemum Douluo Yueguan.
"Hmph, many years ago, you and that old ghost chased me to the brink of death. Today, I'm here to settle the score with you" Dugu Bo replied and his resentment clear.
Chrysanthemum Douluo sneered, "Settle the score? Haha, have you forgotten how every time we fought, I left you battered? The closest you came to death was when you ran into Prince Xuexing's patrol, and Xuexing used the power of the Heaven Dou Empire to force me and Lao Gui to retreat. You should've died back then."
Dugu Bo's anger flared at this reminder "It's because I'm destined not to die! Chrysanthemum , you'll soon see how I deal with you!"
"Old Poison, this time, Prince Xuexing won't be around to save you!"
The two Titled Douluo exchanged barbed words before releasing their soul power, preparing for battle.
Yueguan, being the faster of the two, finished his preparations first. The fifth black soul ring around him lit up "Fifth soul skill, Gathering of Frost Spirits!"
With this, countless sharp, indestructible frost petals flew toward Dugu Bo.
In combat, even a moment's delay could make all the difference. Dugu Bo had to abandon his offensive and focus solely on dodging.
Using the complex terrain of the forest to his advantage, Dugu Bo leaped and dodged the attacks of the frost petals. But Yueguan relentlessly pursued him, leaving no room for Dugu Bo to counterattack.
"Damn it, these flying blades are only wearing me down. I need to get closer to Chrysanthemum" Dugu Bo thought.
"Third soul skill, the Jade Scale Soul Bewilderment Formation!"
With his strength as a Titled Douluo, Dugu Bo unleashed his third soul skill instantly. However, the poison in this skill wasn't strong enough to threaten Yueguan.
Dugu Bo didn't expect to defeat Yueguan with this trick he only wanted to use it to interfere with Yueguan's vision.
"Where did he go?" Yueguan was momentarily disoriented as Dugu Bo vanished from his sight. He had no choice but to retract his soul skill.
In that instant, Dugu Bo reappeared behind Yueguan and struck him with a powerful punch. Yueguan raised his hand to block, but the force of Dugu Bo's strike knocked him back.
Dugu Bo immediately followed up, pressing the attack. This time, it was Yueguan who found himself being chased and beaten.
'What incredible speed! Is this old poison trying to die? His body is filled with poison, and yet he's using all his strength. If he doesn't leave some soul power to suppress it, he'll kill himself!' Yueguan thought surprised.
He had always underestimated Dugu Bo, knowing that his actual combat strength was only slightly above that of a Soul Douluo. But today Dugu Bo demonstrated the true power of a Titled Douluo something Yueguan had never expected.
