Reborn as Ning Rongrong, So What?

After Tang Hao's group departed.

Qian Renxue finally asked about matters she hadn't had time to address earlier.

For instance, Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's familiarity with Star Dou Great Forest's Di Tian something even Spirit Hall had no records of.

"Qinghe, there's no need to worry too much about Di Tian." Ning Fengzhi spoke earnestly. "Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has been passed down for generations. We have some reserves and trump cards."

"With Elder Sword and Elder Bone's original 97th-rank strength, plus the boost from my Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, they can reach 98th-rank."

"If we further stack our sect's inherited secret techniques, even facing a 99th-rank opponent wouldn't be cause for excessive concern."

"Father is right." Ning Rongrong walked to Qian Renxue, disguised as Xue Qinghe, and clenched her fist confidently.

"Your Highness, rest assured. Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School also possesses special secret arts like the one I used earlier."

"Even if Di Tian is 99th-rank, we have no reason to fear. We might even make him lose a few teeth."

"That girl called Tokisaki Kurumi… was that also a secret art?" Qian Renxue looked skeptical, sensing something off.

"Of course." Ning Rongrong continued bluffing. "Clear Sky School has its ultimate technique, Ring Explosion. Though we're auxiliary Soul Masters, over the years, we've developed many methods to enhance battle Soul Masters and protect ourselves."

"If Di Tian dares to come, Grandpa Sword, Grandpa Bone, and Senior Dugu will beat him to a pulp."

"Right, grandpas?"

Ning Rongrong turned with a sweet smile toward the three Title Douluo.

"Correct."

Though Bone Douluo didn't understand why Ning Rongrong and Ning Fengzhi were spinning this tale, he was an old hand at playing along.

"Your Highness need not worry. A mere 99th-rank Di Tian is nothing. We have considerable confidence." Bone Douluo spoke breezily, without a hint of strain.

Nearby, Sword Douluo who knew the truth twitched his lips slightly.

What secret arts? Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School only has Heart Divide Control!

But since they were committed to the act, he might as well join in.

Sword Douluo backed Bone Douluo's claims, painting Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School as peerless.

Dugu Bo, with his thinner skin and mere 94th-rank strength, stayed silent and let the two elders perform.

Under their combined efforts, Qian Renxue was thoroughly bamboozled.

Is Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School really this formidable? Capable of fighting even 99th-rank powerhouses?

Qian Renxue left the sect with lingering doubts.

Before her departure, Ning Fengzhi carefully reminded her that the The Heartbroken Acacia was exceptionally rare its full potency could only be unlocked by one's true love.

He advised "Xue Qinghe" to use it wisely and hoped the crown prince would find his destined partner.

After Qian Renxue left.

The group gathered in the council hall.

"Fengzhi, was it wise for you and Rongrong to exaggerate things to Qian Renxue like that?"

Fearless against 99th-rank Title Douluo? That was pure nonsense.

Sword Douluo, being cautious by nature, worried their claims might provoke Tang Chen or Qian Daoliu to investigate.

Ning Fengzhi sat in his chair, sipping tea before setting the cup down with a long sigh.

"Elder Sword, the three of us can't hide our strength anymore. It's better to declare it outright."

"I know, but I'm concerned "

Sword Douluo was well aware. When Bone Douluo returned, he'd already revealed his buffed 98th-rank power.

And Sword Douluo himself, sensing familiar energy, had rushed to Ning Fengzhi's side by then, their strengths were already exposed.

Ning Fengzhi: 89th-rank Soul Douluo.

Sword Douluo: 97th-rank Title Douluo.

Bone Douluo: 97th-rank Title Douluo.

"If I could break through to 98th-rank, perhaps I wouldn't be as worried."

The gap between 97th and 99th-rank was simply too vast.

"Plans never survive contact with reality that's normal." Ning Fengzhi said. "No one expected to encounter Star Dou Great Forest's Beast God at the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well."

"There's no need to overthink it. With Tang Chen's return, even if Spirit Hall has Qian Daoliu, they'll hesitate before moving against the Top Three Sects."

"That's all we can hope for." Sword Douluo sighed, then glanced aside. "Old Bones, congratulations on reaching 97th-rank."

"Hmph, of course. Who do you think I am?" Bone Douluo lifted his nose proudly.

"I heard Rongrong helped you, didn't she?" Sword Douluo deflated his ego with one remark.

"Regardless, I've broken through. You might not be my match now."

Bone Douluo's eyes gleamed as he coughed lightly to mask his embarrassment.

"Rongrong, I'm curious who was that black-haired girl who helped us escape Di Tian?" Dugu Yan, unable to restrain her curiosity any longer, finally asked.

"Black-haired girl?" Sword Douluo looked puzzled. He hadn't seen any such girl when he met the group earlier.

But according to Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong's accounts, there had indeed been a girl named Tokisaki Kurumi.

All eyes turned to Ning Rongrong.

She suddenly felt the weight of their gazes.

After a moment's thought, Ning Rongrong answered:

"She was the former Dark Devilgod Tiger, just appearing in a different form. For now, she's not an enemy that much I'm certain of."

With that, the others refrained from pressing further.

Footsteps echoed outside as a young man in Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School attire hurried in, handing a letter to Ning Fengzhi.

Dismissing the messenger, Ning Fengzhi opened the letter and froze.

"This… this is!"

"What is it, Fengzhi?" Sword Douluo's gaze sharpened.

Ning Fengzhi passed him the letter and exhaled. "It seems Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is safe for now."

He felt a burden lift from his shoulders. "Our spies in Spirit Hall have sent critical intelligence."

"Spirit Hall's High Priest, Qian Daoliu, clashed with Clear Sky School's former patriarch, Tang Chen. Reports say both were severely injured."

Qian Daoliu and Tang Chen fought?!

Meow Meow Meow?!

Ning Rongrong was baffled.

But with these two Limit Douluo tearing into each other and sustaining injuries, they likely wouldn't have time to trouble Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Without Qian Daoliu, what was Spirit Hall? Besides, there was no need to panic prematurely.

What can Qian Daoliu or Tang Chen do? Push Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School too far, and we'll drag you down with us.

Two 98th-rank-equivalent Title Douluo self-destructing could send even Qian Daoliu straight to hell.

But this approach was never Ning Rongrong's preference.

Mutual destruction? Too crude. Who uses self-destruction as a trump card?!

Setting aside matters concerning Clear Sky School and Spirit Hall, the group shifted focus to the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King, Di Tian.

He now occupied the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. To strategize, they needed all available information about him know thy enemy.

Thus, all eyes returned to Ning Rongrong.
