Douluo Continent: Reincarnated as the Rock King Emperor, Wandering the Mortal World

Chapter 19: The Bill Hangs Over the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School

If I remember correctly, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is not far from Heaven Dou City; for a low-level Soul Master, it's only about an hour's journey.

If Chen Xin were to fly on his sword, it would only take a few minutes to reach Tian Dou City.

"Far?"

It's hardly a close call, is it?

"Zhongli, you're not treating me like a child, are you?"

Paimon put his hands on his hips and said angrily.

Her soft voice didn't sound angry at all; it sounded more like she was being coquettish.

I glanced at Paimon briefly. I wasn't sure of her age, but...

Isn't he a child?

"Damn it, damn the riddle teller!"

Stomp in the void is a signature move of Paimon.

"I'm angry!"

She crossed her arms, glanced slightly to the side, and looked at Zhong Li.

"Sigh~"

With a silent sigh, Zhongli waved his hand and, seemingly out of nowhere, produced some snacks, placing them on the table.

"Don't think that just because you offer me dessert, I... I'll forgive you!"

"I am not that Inazuma-kun..."

"After I'm done with work, I'll go to Qibao Hotel."

Zhong Li said calmly, without any inner turmoil.

"OK!"

"Zhongli, you're the best!"

Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin's eyes twitched. Was he so easy to coax?

"Please excuse my poor appearance, Paimon is a straightforward person and says what he thinks."

"No, no, no..."

Ning Fengzhi quickly waved his hand and said, "Paimon has the heart of a child!"

As expected of you!

High emotional intelligence!

You also think Paimon is stupid?

"Inazuma?"

"Qibao Hotel?"

Ning Fengzhi didn't know where Daoqi was, but Qibao Hotel was his own property.

Suddenly, Ning Fengzhi's eyes lit up, and he quietly took out a token from his storage soul tool.

The front of the token bears the characters "Seven Treasures," while the back features an image of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School.

"Mr. Zhongli, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's businesses are spread throughout the Douluo Continent, covering all walks of life."

"With this token, you can use it to pay for items at any shop belonging to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."

"Of course, sir, you don't need to worry about the following procedures. I will assign someone to handle it."

Ning Fengzhi didn't mention anything about a free meal; instead, he said it would be charged to the bill.

He needed to let Zhongli know the value of those goods. If he could just give them away for free, he wouldn't know, but putting them on the balance would be different.

Before they arrived, they had already found out that Zhongli was just a guest of the Crown Prince's residence and could leave at any time to start his own business or join other forces.

Dugu Bo was in a similar situation. Although he was a guest minister of the Heavenly Dou royal family, Emperor Xueye dared not say anything when he left the Heavenly Dou royal family.

This guest advisor was someone Xue Xing secured for the Tian Dou royal family.

Since Zhongli intends to become friends with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, it is natural to strike while the iron is hot and solidify the friendship between the two sides.

"Zhongli, accept it. Only me and that guy Bone have this token."

At this moment, Chen Xin spoke up.

Aside from Ning Fengzhi, the person who issued the token, only the two Supreme Elders possessed this token.

What does this tell us?

it goes without saying.

This scene seems so familiar!

Before there was Hu Xue (Hu Tao, Qian Ren Xue), and after there was Dada Fengzhi (Da Daliya, Ning Fengzhi).

"That's strange, why is it that wherever Zhong Li goes, someone always pays for him?"

"When I'm with travelers, I work myself to the bone, but I don't earn much Mora."

"Wait a minute, isn't that the meaning of travel? How could I possibly have the idea of ​​giving up?"

Paimon fell into deep thought.

Zhong Li thought for a moment and then accepted the token.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin left Zhongli Mansion with smiles on their faces.

Steady!

My position as a friend is secure.

In the current situation, having a powerful friend means having more options, especially someone like Zhongli; it's a win-win situation no matter what.

He may seem like a generous spender, showering people with gifts, but isn't his real purpose to salvage this fragile friendship?

When the two returned to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Chen Xin's expression became extremely solemn.

"Uncle Jian, what's wrong?"

Ning Fengzhi said somewhat confusedly, "Shouldn't we be happy today?"

"Yeah, Swordsman, what's going on? Did the negotiations fall through?"

At this moment, Gu Rong also spoke up.

"No, we've reached an agreement."

Chen Xin shook his head and continued, "However, Zhongli's purpose and strength have put me under unprecedented pressure."

"Purpose, strength?"

"I can vaguely sense that Zhongli's soul power level should be one level higher than mine, around level 97, if my perception is correct."

Chen Xin said with a serious expression, "Judging from Paimon's reaction, Zhongli must be quite old. Thinking about it, that makes sense."

With that kind of ability, one can't be that young.

"What? Level 97?"

Gu Rong's expression also changed, becoming very solemn.

Only after reaching level 95 did I understand the gap between Super Douluo.

The difference in soul power between level 95 and level 96 is almost 40%.

There is a 50% difference between level 96 and level 97!

In other words, a terrifying being at level 97 has a total soul power that is almost twice that of a titled Douluo at level 95.

Without Ning Fengzhi's assistance, Zhong Li could easily take care of the two of them by himself.

This is the difference after level 95.

Ning Fengzhi's expression also changed. He had thought that Zhongli's strength should be between ninety-three and ninety-five, but he never expected that the other party's soul power was actually higher than Chen Xin's!

While sighing with relief, Ning Fengzhi was also somewhat thankful that he hadn't chosen to be Zhongli's enemy; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable!

Seeing that Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong were only shocked by Zhongli's strength but failed to realize the seriousness of the problem, Chen Xin's eye twitched.

"He hasn't added any spirit rings to his second spirit yet. He'll add them after he breaks through to level 99."

"Do you think he has a chance of becoming the first person in ten thousand years to break through to that realm?"

Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong were both shocked. What realm?

What realms await after level ninety-nine?

A second martial soul with nine soul rings—maybe it really is possible!

Swallowing hard, Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong fell into deep thought, weighing the pros and cons.

Zhong Li is no young man who is easy to bully.

Given his current strength, in a one-on-one fight, neither Chen Xin nor Gu Rong would necessarily be his match.

Such a powerful figure is someone the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School truly cannot afford to offend.

Ultimately, all three concluded that they could only befriend each other and not do evil.

It's perfectly normal to come to this conclusion. They can't beat him in a fight, and even if they all attack together, what difference would it make if they defeated Zhongli?

Killing him is virtually impossible.

When hunting down a Title Douluo weaker than oneself, it is very difficult to kill the opponent if the opponent is determined to escape.

Moreover, if a single Title Douluo were to chase after them, it would be tantamount to suicide.
