Chapter 36: Chapter 36 Misunderstanding (Please vote for recommendation, please favorite)_1
Xu Sheng, with closed eyes, suddenly detected two presences and slowly opened his eyes with a cold sneer, "Hmm? Are those two strong presences approaching this place, Chrysanthemum Guan and Gui Mei?"
The next moment, he squinted and shook his head, "No... Not right! These two are even stronger than them!"
Stronger than Chrysanthemum Guan and Gui Mei, and within the Tiandou Empire no less!
Without a doubt, Xu Sheng's gaze turned toward Ning Rongrong, who was sweating profusely from her forehead as she absorbed the soul ring...
If that was the case, he should leave now to avoid causing...
Xu Sheng slowly lowered his head, picked up the dagger, but before he could stow it away, he heard a voice...
"Rongrong's presence disappeared right here!"
Two figures rushed out from behind the forest...
Then they stopped in their tracks; the two who had arrived were none other than Chen Xin and Gu Rong. They began to scan their surroundings and immediately laid eyes upon Ning Rongrong, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground absorbing the soul ring...
Gu Rong said with some joy, "It really is Rongrong!"
The heavy stone in Chen Xin's heart finally fell as he exclaimed with relief, "Phew... Thank goodness Rongrong's fine. Otherwise, I definitely wouldn't let Feng Zhi off!"
They walked over to Ning Rongrong's side and began to inspect her very carefully, fearing to find any signs of injury...
Meanwhile, as they conducted their inspection, Xu Sheng's expression gradually turned rigid...
He looked at the dagger in his hand that he hadn't stowed away yet, feeling that trouble was brewing...
Leaving now seemed likely to attract attention, but staying would eventually make them take notice of him...
Before he could ponder further, Chen Xin and Gu Rong's icy glares shifted toward him...
Chen Xin's eyes flashed with endless chill as he angrily questioned, "You there, boy! Who are you? And why are you here?"
Xu Sheng took a step back, his face displaying an awkward yet polite smile. He quickly dropped the dagger on the ground and hurriedly explained, "Well, I was just... protecting her."
Gu Rong, eyeing the dagger that fell from Xu Sheng's hand, sneered, "Protecting? Kid, then what's with the dagger in your hand?"
Did this kid think they were fools, both Titled Douluo battle-hardened through countless skirmishes?
Whose protector would hold a dagger! This kid definitely had ill intentions towards their Ning Rongrong!
Chen Xin chuckled on the side...
He then added indifferently, "So now the entire Continent thinks the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect is easy to bully, is that it? Even an unknown youngster thinks he can lay his hands on our Rongrong!"
Since he harbored murderous intent towards their Rongrong, they shouldn't blame him for abandoning decorum and striking at the youngster!
Chen Xin, graceful as an immortal, casually waved his sleeve. A sword radiating endless murderous intent started to materialize in his palm...
This sword was his Martial Soul, the Seven Kill Sword!
Then, gradually appearing beneath his feet were nine soul rings—gold, gold, purple, black, black, black, black, black!
Sure enough, a formidable Titled Douluo!
Chen Xin slowly raised the sword, its sharp blade pointing directly at Xu Sheng's head, "Boy! Are you ready to die?"
Seeing Chen Xin about to strike the next second, Xu Sheng suddenly became very alert...
As Chen Xin seemed eager to swing his blade, Gu Rong quickly reached out to stop him. With a cold glance at Xu Sheng, he then said to Chen Xin, "Rongrong needs quiet right now. Take this kid somewhere else to deal with him, so as not to disturb Rongrong's absorption of the soul ring!"
Chen Xin narrowed his eyes, nodded, and then, with an unmistakable threat, said to Xu Sheng, "Boy, will you come on your own, or shall I have to personally fetch you?"
Xu Sheng's face showed a hint of displeasure; Chen Xin and Gu Rong, these two Titled Douluo, were acting utterly rash...
Even Xu Sheng was feeling quite annoyed with them right now...
However... Xu Sheng's gaze strayed towards Ning Rongrong again...
Seeing her nearly finished with the soul ring absorption, which was the most crucial phase...
He silently shook his head and thought to himself, "Let it be..."
...
Chen Xin looked at Xu Sheng standing opposite him, appearing very calm, and a trace of surprise flashed through his heart.
This kid, upon seeing himself, a Titled Douluo, didn't show even a hint of fear, not to mention shock!
This kid…
Chen Xin thrust the Seven Kill Sword into the ground and commanded with an overbearing tone, "Kid, any last words? I can give you ten seconds!"
If he wanted to kill Xu Sheng, it was just a matter of lifting his hand, and now giving him ten seconds to say his last words was already the last bit of mercy to the younger generation!
Although, it couldn't stop him from killing him!
Xu Sheng's eyes also turned cold, "Last words? I'm not interested in that!"
Looking at the situation, he also didn't need to explain anymore. Even if he explained, it would merely be regarded by Chen Xin as sophistry...
Since they had to fight sooner or later!
Then...
Let's try it!
After awakening his Martial Soul, he had never fought against a powerhouse who was also a Titled Douluo!
This battle of the same level might just let him find an opportunity to break through to Level Twelve under pressure!
Although it was very dangerous...
Having thought it through, Xu Sheng no longer planned to hide his skills and slowly extended his arm, upon his palm, the Nine-Hearted Begonia full of the scent of blood quietly bloomed...
Turning the surrounding woods into a terrifying red glow...
Seeing that Xu Sheng didn't speak but released his Martial Soul, Chen Xin raised his eyebrow slightly, "Oh? You're actually releasing your Martial Soul, planning on a final struggle?"
Looking at Chen Xin, the corners of Xu Sheng's mouth lifted slightly. When the Nine-Hearted Begonia in his hand was fully unleashed...
One after another, pitch-black soul rings gradually appeared at his feet...
One ring!
Three rings!
Six rings!
Nine rings!
It was precisely nine Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Rings, perfectly aligned!
Chen Xin could no longer keep his composure, his eyes looking at Xu Sheng's soul rings in shock!
He exclaimed in amazement, "What!!! This kid actually has nine soul rings! A powerhouse of the same Title Douluo level as myself!!!"
Moreover, all nine of the soul rings he possessed were Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Rings! This terrifying Soul Ring Configuration far surpassed his own!
He figured there was no one on the entire Continent who could achieve this!
Chen Xin covered his stifled chest with his hand, feeling somewhat clogged; his heart, calm for decades, started to waver today...
He thought to himself, "How is this possible! He's clearly just a child not even fifteen years old, yet he has reached the Title Douluo level!"
Xu Sheng looked at Chen Xin, who was stuck in his thoughts, knowing that he must have been shaken by himself.
The way this guy acted just now irked him greatly, so he definitely wouldn't make him feel any better!
Naturally, he had to take this opportunity to strike at Chen Xin.
After all, it would be someone who took sixty or seventy years of cultivation to break through to Titled Douluo, encountering a kid who had already reached the Titled Douluo level at only nine years old.
This was no longer about effort; it was about true talent!
And so...
Xu Sheng took a step forward, his tone cold, "Junior Xu Sheng, Rank 91 Titled Douluo! Please enlighten me!!"
