Chapter 38 Be Yourself, Tang Chen's Angry Moment!
Then, Ning Rongrong seemed to remember something and looked at Zhu Zhuqing: "Zhuqing, your martial soul has evolved; it's no longer the Netherworld Cat. Does that mean your martial soul fusion skill is ineffective?"
Zhu Zhuqing nodded: "It should be, but it's alright. With my teacher's guidance, my current strength means I don't need to rely on anyone else. I just want to be myself!"
"Oh right, teacher, I'm level 50 now. Shouldn't I get a suitable soul ring? This divinely bestowed soul ring can only be condensed for up to 100,000 years. I don't want to use it so soon."
But after saying that, Ning Rongrong remembered that Xiao Wu was a transformed soul beast.
It didn't matter before, but now that she knew, would she mind?
Xiao Wu felt Ning Rongrong's gaze and shook her head, indicating that it was alright.
Besides, she couldn't do anything about it. Having followed her teacher for so long, she knew that the only way to change everything was to become stronger herself.
Lin Yuan nodded: "Alright, three days is enough time for you to hunt a suitable soul beast anyway. Your Sword Grandpa is here too, so I'll let them in this time."
Outside the courtyard, the gate, which had been tightly shut, suddenly opened automatically.
Dugu Bo chuckled: "Let's go. The little monster knows we're here, Sword Douluo. This time… you probably won't need to go through the sword formation."
"If you want to spar with the little monster, now's the time," Dugu Bo said, raising an eyebrow at Chen Xin.
Chen Xin's lips twitched: "Challenge him? I'm not worthy. Rongrong said he's only twenty-five, yet he already has such strength—it's terrifying!"
Actually, besides wanting to see Rongrong, he also genuinely wanted to spar with Lin Yuan.
But the moment the rankings came out, he knew there was no need for a spar.
The gap was too vast!
Even when his grandfather was still alive, he probably wouldn't have been able to withstand a single sword strike from Lin Yuan.
However, since he was already here, he might as well ask Lin Yuan for his opinion on the situation on the continent.
After all, he hadn't expected that Tang Chen, who had disappeared for so many years, was still alive.
Whether this was a good thing or a bad thing for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was still hard to say.
After all, Feng Zhi had said that the three upper sects needed to be united, but were they really united?
"Grandpa Sword, you're here!" Ning Rongrong ran over to greet Chen Xin.
Chen Xin gently patted Ning Rongrong's hair and smiled, "Rongrong, you've gotten a lot stronger."
Then, Chen Xin casually glanced at Xiao Wu beside Lin Yuan.
Was this the transformation of a 100,000-year-old soul beast that the Heavenly Curtain had revealed?
With his cultivation level, he couldn't even tell.
It seems this was a tactic Lin Yuan had used on her.
Xiao Wu's senses were very sharp; she naturally felt the gazes from Chen Xin and even Dugu Bo, but showed no fear.
After all, her teacher was there!
Lin Yuan chuckled, "This is Sword Douluo's first time entering my academy, isn't it? Why don't you take a look?"
"Or do you want to spar with me?"
Chen Xin said with a wry smile, "Dean Lin, I just came to see Rongrong and also wanted to ask what you think of the current situation on the continent."
Lin Yuan said lazily, "What do I think? I'll just lie here and watch. As long as those forces don't bother me, it's none of my business. I just want to quietly become a god; I don't want to concern myself with anything else."
"Of course, your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is Rongrong's sect after all. If you face the danger of being wiped out, you can bring people here for refuge. In a critical moment, it can save your lives."
Chen Xin was a smart man; he knew Lin Yuan had made himself clear.
Trying to use Rongrong's connections to get him to side with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, or even fight against the Spirit Hall, was probably impossible.
Now, being able to receive such a promise from the other party is a good thing.
At least, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School still had a way out.
There was no other way; the strength of the Spirit Hall, as revealed by the Heavenly Curtain, was far too powerful, and there was also Tang Chen.
Although he and Gu Rong were in the sect, he felt a deep sense of crisis.
Dugu Bo and Ye Renxin, however, didn't have as many concerns as Chen Xin.
Dugu Bo said directly, "Little monster, I'll stay here for a while, is that alright?"
Lin Yuan said, "Sure, your room has always been reserved for you; you can stay and retire without any problem. It's probably not peaceful outside right now, so you should stay in the academy."
Dugu Bo pouted, "After your treatment, although my spirit hasn't evolved, I'm still a level 95 Title Douluo. It's not as exaggerated as you say."
Lin Yuan chuckled, "Alright, alright, old monster, others may not know about your poison, but I know it well enough. If you fought Sword Douluo, you probably couldn't even beat him..."
Dugu Bo's face flushed red, and he glared at Lin Yuan, but didn't refute anything.
This was indeed true; although his spirit's flaws had been resolved, it didn't prevent him from being weak.
After all, he followed the path of poison control, and in the form of poison mist. Against someone like Chen Xin, whose sword energy was rampant, his poison couldn't get close.
Unless it was compressed to the extreme to form a high-concentration energy cannon for a direct confrontation, but that would consume a lot of soul power.
Fortunately, his granddaughter wasn't on the same path as him.
Her future achievements would definitely surpass his!
Chen Xin looked at the old man and the young woman chatting and laughing, and felt a little envious.
Why was Lin Yuan's attitude towards Dugu Bo so different from his attitude towards the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?
After some time, both Tang Chen and Qian Renxue had returned to their respective forces.
Haotian Sect.
When Tang Xiao and the others saw Tang Chen, they were stunned. It really was him!
That man, who had disappeared for so long, had finally returned!
"Grandfather, you're back!" Tang Xiao immediately came to Tang Chen's side.
The other elders followed closely behind.
Tang Chen nodded, glanced around, and asked with some confusion, "You should have known I was coming back through the Heavenly Canopy, so why haven't I seen Hao'er? And Wei'er? Where are they?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Chen could clearly sense the atmosphere had become tense.
Tang Chen's brows furrowed even more: "What exactly happened to the Clear Sky Sect while I was away?!"
A moment later.
"You bastards!"
Tang Chen's aura erupted, blasting the elders away, causing them all to spit out a mouthful of blood.
"Have you all wasted your lives all these years?! I asked you to help watch over the Clear Sky Sect, and this is how you've done it?!"
"It's just a 100,000-year-old soul beast, yet the Spirit Hall dared to come and hunt down our people, and you didn't even dare to protect them?"
"Do you deserve the Clear Sky Hammer you wield?!"
