Douluo Jueshi: I can only explode the ring, all I can do is operate.

Chapter 265 I'm Fighting a Super Douluo, Really?

After wolfing down the food his two wives had prepared for him, Ning Wuque smacked his lips and tasted it.
"Too salty, too spicy, too bland, it's just fruit... Don't they even wash their knives before cutting fruit?"

With his eyes wide open, Ning Wuque could even taste the fishy smell left on the fruit. My goodness, thank goodness he swallowed it all in one gulp, otherwise he would have suffered so much if he had to savor it carefully.

Hearing this, Ning Wuyou, standing beside him, also widened her eyes and opened her mouth, momentarily at a loss for words.

Finally, he patted Ning Wuque on the shoulder, his eyes filled with pity:
"It's alright. The food your sister-in-law prepared for me wasn't anything special either. The meat was all half-cooked. Come on, I'll take you to the quarry."

"Row……"

Nodding, Ning Wuque turned and followed Ning Wuyou toward the main peak of the sect.

The so-called "stone quarrying" involves taking several jade stones that have already been placed in front of the sect's main hall. Their size is determined by the bride's family's wishes. If you don't want to suffer at this time, you'd better pray that your bride doesn't think of anything you've done to her and deliberately make things difficult for you.

Of course, due to the nature of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School itself, the number of brides who would make things difficult for the groom in this step is very small, only about thirty-four times in ten thousand years.

When Ning Wuque arrived here, he saw a vermilion agate jade, a colorful glassy jade with a light blue main color, and a steel jade that had been polished into a bead.

Each one was only the size of a fist. Clearly, neither Wu Feng nor Ning Tian chose to make things difficult for themselves in this step.

"Let's wait a bit longer. We'll go quarrying stones after most of the others have gone to the venue."

Ning Wuyou reminded him.

Quarrying involves only two steps: moving the stones and placing them.

Moving the stones involved taking these jade stones to the center of a pond not far from the foot of the main peak. There, three wooden boxes of different sizes were placed. Only by taking all the jade stones there and arranging them properly could the mechanism be opened, revealing the dowry and betrothal gifts inside.

After having breakfast, the crowd would head there around 11 a.m. to wait for the ceremony.

After the quarrying is finished, there are two parts: "Martial Arts Test" and "Wedding Procession". The "Martial Arts Test" will only be conducted if the groom is not a Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Soul Master. If his martial soul is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, it will become "Treasure Appraisal".

"Alright, time to take a break. Sigh, this is really troublesome. By the way, Brother Wuyou, who is my opponent in this martial arts test?"

Standing atop the peak with Ning Wuyou, gazing into the distance, Ning Wuque asked a question.

The martial arts test is a tradition, a way to determine whether someone is qualified to marry the future heir of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School. This has been a tradition for ten thousand years, and even Oscar cannot avoid it. If he fails the test, he cannot marry Ning Rongrong.

The only difference is that the rules are different ten thousand years later than they were ten thousand years ago. Before, it was a couple's doubles match, but now it's just a singles match, which also allows for the demonstration of strength.

In response, Ning Wuyou stroked his chin and replied with a smile:

"According to tradition, someone with the fifth ring cultivation level should fight a martial arts test against a Soul Saint. As long as they can force out the opponent's true martial soul form, they have passed this test."

"Soul Saint? That's too easy. I can beat him even if he activates his true form."

"Hmm, so your opponent is actually Uncle Wu Yan, hahahahahaha."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ning Wuyou couldn't help but burst into laughter. After all, it was somewhat of a deliberate attempt to make things difficult for Wu Yan, who was already a Super Douluo, when Wu Yan was only at the fifth ring level.

However, this was not because the sect was deliberately making things difficult for Ning Wuque. Rather, the martial arts test was meant to be a demonstration to the outside world, to show just how strong the next generation of sect leader's guardian really was, and to put the disciples at ease.

Of course, if the guardian is the woman, this part will be skipped and will be specially carried out after the wedding ceremony in the filial piety part, where the elders will personally test the woman's abilities.

"Uh..." Me, fighting Super Douluo? Really?

Ning Wuque hasn't become that arrogant yet, especially since Wu Yan has eaten the immortal herb and his own dragon martial soul has evolved into the level of dragon king, comparable to a true dragon!
Ning Wuyou shook her head slightly, patted Ning Wuque's shoulder, and smiled to reassure him:

"Don't worry, just go all out and fight Uncle Wu Yan. See if you can force him to use that first-ring soul skill. It's just for the guests and our sect's disciples to see."

"Full power? Then what about this outfit of mine..."

Ning Wuque was in a dilemma. If he used his full strength, his clothes would be damaged. This was his wedding robe, and it couldn't be damaged before the wedding was over, otherwise it would be bad luck.

Ning Wuyou, having anticipated this, replied:
"Don't worry, this outfit is made of ten-thousand-year-old snow silk. Even a Contra Douluo's full-force tearing could only create a slit in it. Furthermore, it has a self-repairing function after being infused with soul power. It's incredibly durable!"

"Then I'm relieved."

Ning Wuque was relieved.

Soon, the sky gradually brightened, the sun shone brightly, and it was almost noon. Only then did Ning Wuque pick up three fist-sized jade stones and walk down the mountain with Ning Wuyou.

.........

Down the mountain, on Chihu Island.

This is a circular artificial lake island. The guests have already taken their seats on the outer perimeter, whispering and discussing the three wooden boxes, two large and one small, placed on the island in the lake in front of them.

Even from a great distance, they could sense the aura of a precious treasure. In particular, Du Busi and Xuanzi's group were amazed, never expecting that Ning Wuque would be so willing to part with it.

"Wuque, that kid really has guts. He actually managed to pull out those two things, and this herbal fragrance too, tsk tsk..."

"Master, do you know what kind of betrothal gifts Brother Wuque is preparing for the two sisters?"

Beside him, Huo Yuhao was very curious, as were the younger generation, such as Xu Sanshi.

At this moment, the people from the Body Sect and Shrek Academy were sitting together. The younger generation all knew each other, and the elders, even if they had grudges, did not want to interfere too much.

Both Poison-Invincible and Xuanzi shook their heads at this:

"Just wait and see, I guarantee you'll be amazed."

"The old poisoner is right. It's probably hard to find anyone in this world more generous than Ning Wuque. It's truly unexpected..."

With a bite of chicken leg and a sip of wine, Xuanzi looked up at Ning Wuque and his companion, who were approaching from afar.

The guests fell silent upon seeing the person in question, with elders reminding the younger generation to pay close attention.

Ning Wuyou bid farewell to Ning Wuque and turned to head towards her home.

Only Ning Fengxiao and Wu Yan remained on the island in the middle of the lake, guarding the center of the three wooden boxes, smiling as they waited for Ning Wuque's arrival.

step, step, step
Walking across the stone bridge spanning the lake, Ning Wuque held three jade stones in his hand and walked step by step toward the center of the island.
