Douluo Continent: From Seven Treasure Glazed Tile to Crescent Moon's Solemnity

Chapter 160 Challenge

Ning Fengzhi was taken aback, but he didn't connect this to any connection between Ning Feiliu and "Asia and Africa".

After all, he wasn't a modern person and hadn't read so many novels or read so many dramatic scenes in literature, so it was indeed difficult for him to connect Ning Mingrui's words with the idea that Ning Feiliu was "Asia-Africa" ​​and that "Asia-Africa" ​​was Ning Feiliu.

However, he did not give up the possibility of hosting a banquet for "Asia and Africa" ​​through Ning Mingrui.

"Mingrui, why don't you try asking him? It might help you and him get to know each other better," Ning Fengzhi said with a smile.

Ning Mingrui sighed, then could only say, "Dad, I'll do my best."

He now somewhat understands Ning Feiliu's feelings, although he can understand that Ning Fengzhi did it for the sake of the sect's continuation.

Because its own martial soul lacks combat power and is therefore too weak, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School must recruit talented battle soul masters from outside the sect.

In addition, their sons were indeed of mediocre innate talent.

Ning Feiliu's talent was not outstanding, and no one could have imagined that he would have such extraordinary comprehension, allowing him to undergo a complete transformation.

Ning Fengzhi ignoring Ning Feiliu was something he could not help.

But...everyone hopes that their parents love them unconditionally and that they always think their child is the best.

So Ning Fengzhi's actions really hurt his child's feelings.

In Ning Mingrui's eyes, perhaps if Ning Feiliu really was just an ordinary child, it wouldn't matter if her father broke her heart.

Even if Ning Feiliu was heartbroken, he was still just an ordinary direct disciple of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and had no impact on the sect.

With him, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will not become stronger; without him, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will not perish.

But he is from "Asia and Africa," so it's different.

Without Ning Feiliu, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School might not have declined, but it lost an opportunity to advance further and become stronger.

Based on Ning Feiliu's strength and talent, Ning Mingrui has realized that Ning Feiliu's lineage will definitely lead their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to an unprecedented peak in the future!

However, Ning Feiliu's attitude towards Ning Fengzhi did not soften at all, leaving him unsure how to persuade Ning Feiliu to serve the sect.

Even though Ning Feiliu once said that if Ning Mingrui became the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, he would help the sect become stronger.

But for some reason, Ning Mingrui always felt there was a vague feeling in Ning Feiliu's words.

It seems... Fei Liu will leave the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School in the future.

Even if Ning Mingrui becomes the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School in the future, it will still be the same.

Therefore, he realized that the only way to ensure that Ning Feiliu's lineage would remain in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School in the future was to eliminate his resentment towards his father and relatives.

However… seeing his father Ning Fengzhi's still indifferent attitude towards Ning Feiliu, he was somewhat at a loss for what to do.

Perhaps only when Ning Fengzhi learns that Ning Feiliu's true identity is "Yafei," the famous disciple of the Poison Douluo in Tiandou City, will he change his mind and start paying extra attention to Ning Feiliu.

However, he also knew very well that if he really told Ning Fengzhi about this, even if Ning Fengzhi really valued Ning Feiliu because of it, Ning Feiliu would feel even more resentful and would become distant from him.

So he was somewhat at a loss, wondering how... he could get rid of the resentment in Ning Feiliu's heart?

……

Ning Feiliu was unaware of this matter; he had simply arrived at the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena to begin searching for an "opponent."

He went directly to the Soul Master level arena, intending to challenge some junior Soul Masters.

His unique "Asia-Africa" ​​outfit was quite distinctive. However, what was both funny and sad was that after "Asia-Africa" ​​became famous throughout the entire Heaven Dou City, many similar masks appeared for sale around the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena.

This is probably what is called the celebrity effect, and this death god's face, which looks emotionless and eerie, has a cold feeling.

This is much more stylish than a regular mask or cloak.

Therefore, this mask sold very well, but basically no one dared to impersonate Ning Feiliu.

Even if someone impersonates another, it's easy for them to be exposed.

After all, Ning Feiliu's current soul ring combination is too unique. Perhaps only a soul master with twin martial souls has the ability to disguise his soul ring combination.

As for twin martial soul masters... there were only two in Douluo Continent at that time: Bibi Dong and Tang San.

These two... well, Bibi Dong definitely wouldn't, but Third Brother...

Given Third Brother's character, he could easily impersonate someone else, and if there were benefits to be gained, he would probably impersonate him without batting an eye.

Although the Third Brother didn't actually do such a thing in the original story, given his flexible moral compass, there's no doubt he would do it if there was profit to be made.

For example, Tang San happened to discover that Dugu Bo possessed a treasure trove of herbs, the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, which contained a large number of precious herbs.

If one were to impersonate Ning Feiliu, one could infiltrate the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well...

Tang San would definitely do that, and then directly sneak into the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well and take away all the herbs!

Ning Feiliu was completely convinced that this upright gentleman, Tang Sanshao, was capable of doing such a thing.

But Tang San isn't here right now, and Ning Feiliu and Tang San don't have any contact right now, so it's impossible for Tang San to impersonate him.

No one would dare to impersonate Ning Feiliu without reason, after all, he was backed by the unpredictable Poison Douluo Dugu Bo.

Who would be so bold as to impersonate him?

Therefore, Ning Feiliu's figure was particularly noticeable in the front row of the audience seats at the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena.

Immediately, the surrounding audience began to discuss excitedly.

"Africa and Asia are coming..."

"They've finally reappeared. Asia and Africa had been missing for a full eight days."

"Every time Asia and Africa use the summoning of the God of Forging, they disappear for a day or two before reappearing. This time, they've been gone for a bit too long. I thought Asia and Africa wouldn't come back."

"Didn't you notice that after Asia and Africa first used the Summoning of the God of Forging, when they reappeared, their first spirit ring had become a thousand years old? So, could it be that every time he destroyed his own spirit ring to use his self-created spirit skill, he went to acquire a new spirit ring?"

"Hiss... Doesn't that mean that Yafei can keep changing to higher-level spirit rings one after another?"

"You're only realizing this now? Those two self-created soul skills aren't just powerful; they can also have their soul rings changed!"

"It's probably not that simple... Otherwise, wouldn't Yafei have to change to a higher-quality soul ring every time he uses his self-created soul skill? He doesn't even use his powerful self-created soul skill often..."

"Regardless, Yafei is simply too strong... probably the most talented Soul Master among the younger generation in the last thirty years!"

The reason this person said "within the last thirty years" is because going back a little further would lead to Tang Hao and Tang Xiao.

Ning Feiliu is currently very strong, but compared to a genius soul master like Tang Hao who already has a proven track record, ordinary people wouldn't dare to boast that Ning Feiliu is far stronger or more talented than him, which is why they say that.

"He currently has no rivals at the Soul Master level, ever since he defeated Xue Xiaolingyue in his last challenge against someone of a higher level... So, is he planning to challenge someone of a higher level again, this time a Soul Master level opponent?!"

"Absolutely! Asia and Africa are truly amazing! The younger generation is the strongest!"

"Our Heaven Dou Empire is now witnessing the emergence of many genius Soul Masters. There's Su Yafei of the Crescent Moon, who created powerful Soul Skills and can challenge opponents of higher levels; Yu Tianheng, the designated young patriarch of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan; Yu Tianxin, who, along with Yu Tianheng, is known as one of the Twin Jades of the Blue Dragon Clan; and Dugu Yan, the granddaughter of Poison Douluo, who broke through to the Soul Master level at fourteen… These four individuals have displayed talent that surpasses their peers at such a young age. Our Heaven Dou Empire is about to usher in a golden age!"

"With the emergence of these four genius Soul Masters, displaying immeasurable talent as high as the heavens, the genius Soul Masters of this generation of our Heaven Dou Empire... can truly be called the Generation of Heaven!"

"Yafei and Dugu Yan... these two disciples of Poison Douluo certainly possess immeasurable talent, reaching the heavens. But what are Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianxin? Are they worthy of being compared to these two?"

"What did you say?!"

"You're a disciple of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan... Oh, that's alright then... Ah, yes, yes, you're right."

……

The noisy discussions around Ning Feiliu never stopped, which made him feel somewhat helpless.

Why do these guys like to talk about this kind of thing so much, and even give people nicknames?

But after all, there were no other forms of entertainment in this era. The key point is that because of the existence of martial spirits and soul masters, the agriculture in Douluo Continent was not as backward as in real ancient times, and food was quite plentiful.

Why was agriculture backward in ancient times? There weren't enough farming tools to clear land, enough livestock to tend the fields, and relying solely on manpower to clear land and cultivate the fields was completely insufficient.

But what about the world of Douluo Continent?

Putting aside other things, the Spirit Hall awakens the spirits of everyone. Even if they don't have innate spirit power and can't cultivate, awakening their spirits allows them to summon spirits, and spirit masters with beast spirits can improve their physical attributes.

Soul Masters with weapon-type martial souls can use their martial souls to farm or hunt wild animals for food.

These ordinary people without soul power can't beat soul beasts, but can't they beat ordinary wild beasts?

Therefore, food is relatively plentiful in Douluo Continent, and ordinary people can barely fill their stomachs unless they encounter disasters.

In peacetime, people can even eat some meat.

Compared to those real ancient times, Douluo Continent is truly a very happy and peaceful world.

Therefore, ordinary people are quite idle on weekdays and don't need to worry about making three meals a day.

When you're bored and have nothing to do, you can only kill time by chatting about these stories over tea.

Just like those mysterious organizations at the entrance of Ning Feiliu's village in her previous life, in her previous life there were things like cell phones and televisions. Members of these mysterious organizations were happy to gather at the village entrance every day, and could ruin a person's reputation with just a few words.

In an era without cell phones and televisions, these ordinary people were even more vulnerable.

They love coming to the Heaven Dou Great Soul Arena to watch powerful Soul Masters fight, and then use that as a topic of conversation.

They would even casually recount the secrets of important figures.

Sometimes, these onlookers really don't think things through; they unintentionally talk about things they shouldn't say.

Geniuses like Ning Feiliu are often talked about with great interest.

However, Ning Feiliu felt that it was quite strange that she was suddenly referred to as something like "the Generation of Heaven".

Fortunately, it wasn't some kind of "Golden Generation." I don't know if these people knew about the Spirit Hall's Golden Generation and intentionally avoided it, or if they simply felt that "Generation of Heaven" was a more fitting name for the Heaven Dou Empire, or a more appropriate description.

Anyway, Ning Feiliu thought this title was alright...

It was still too awkward.

But just as Ning Feiliu was feeling somewhat awkward...

"Africa and Asia?" A cold, unfamiliar female voice suddenly appeared in his ear.

Ning Feiliu turned around and saw a tall, aloof, and somewhat mature young woman who was very beautiful, but...

He really didn't know him.

The girl's graceful figure appeared more mature, almost the height and bust of an adult woman, while exuding an aura of icy coldness.

but……

The girl wasn't aloof at all; instead, she looked at him with a smile.

"You are..." Ning Feiliu frowned and asked.

"My name is... Shuanglan. Well, although I think I should be somewhat famous, I don't know if you know me, so let me introduce myself." Shuanglan said with a smile.

"Shuanglan?" Ning Feiliu raised an eyebrow under her mask and said.

"It seems you do recognize me," Shuanglan said with a smile.

"The vice-captain of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy team, whose martial soul is the Ice Sword Dragon, should currently have a soul power cultivation level of around level forty-two?" Ning Feiliu immediately said.

He had studied all the members of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, so of course he knew Shuanglan.

However... Shuanglan was not originally his research opponent, but now it is not impossible for him to challenge Shuanglan.

However, having only recently used the [Summoning of the God of Ice and Snow], he didn't want to experience a second ring explosion so soon and try to absorb another soul ring.

After all, he had just absorbed a ten-thousand-year soul ring not long ago. Too rapid growth could damage or even tear the meridians in his body.

"To be precise, it's level 43," Shuanglan said, her smile widening.

"So what brings you here?" Ning Feiliu said calmly, "To invite me to join the Heaven Dou Royal Academy? Then I think you're destined to be disappointed."

"No, I'm not here to invite you to join the Heaven Dou Royal Academy," Shuanglan shook her head and said. "I'm here to challenge you... and to ask you some questions."

"A question?" Ning Feiliu smiled. "Why should I answer your question?"

"No," Shuanglan shook her head and said, "but I can do you a favor."

"Help?" Ning Feiliu frowned. He had no reason to ask Shuanglan for anything.

"Although I don't know why you are so eager to win, maybe it's a bet or a promise, I can see that you are pursuing the ultimate winning streak."

Your current winning streak in 1v1 Soul Battles has reached its 38th match, and your winning streak in 2v2 Soul Battles has reached its 27th match.

"You already have an invincible record at the Soul Master level, but you still haven't stopped. Now you're even considering challenging a Soul Master, a level above you."

"So I guess your goal is to achieve a hundred consecutive wins, regardless of the form of Soul Battle..." Shuanglan said with a smile, "It's just that you haven't participated in team Soul Battles. I guess it's not that you're not interested in team Soul Battles, but that you can't find suitable teammates to form a team..."

So I can help you achieve a 100-win streak in Soul Battles, and in a very consistent way.
