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

Chapter 161 Q&A | Challenge

Hearing what Shuanglan said, Ning Feiliu raised an eyebrow and had to admit that this woman named Shuanglan was very clever.

She could deduce from the clues that his goal was to achieve an unbeaten streak, but limited by the times and her lack of experience with transmigration system novels, she naturally couldn't guess that Ning Feiliu's pursuit of a winning streak was due to a mission.

One can only guess that this is some kind of bet or promise, such as that he has a bet with Dugu Bo, requiring him to achieve a hundred consecutive wins in the Great Soul Arena.

There's nothing we can do about it; it's hard for anyone to guess or imagine things they've never seen or heard of before.

It's like a joke from Ning Feiliu's previous life: the emperor used a golden hoe to till the fields and had an endless supply of white steamed buns every day.

This is because limited knowledge restricts imagination.

If Shuanglan really guesses that Ning Feiliu's pursuit of consecutive wins is because she needs to complete a certain task, then Ning Feiliu will really suspect that she is also a time traveler.

However, it must be said that Shuanglan's suggestion moved Ning Feiliu.

After learning about the bug in the Calm and Composed mission, he had considered participating in Team Battle Soul and achieving a 100-win streak in the Grand Soul Arena through one-on-one battles, two-on-two battles, and team battle soul fights.

On average, each type of battle only needs to achieve a winning streak of 34 matches to easily complete the task of remaining calm and composed.

However, he did not have suitable candidates to form a seven-person team from the beginning to participate in the team battle.

Because whether it's a two-on-two battle or a team battle, the team's cultivation level is determined by the strongest person in the team.

If one member of a seven-person Soul Fighting Team breaks through to the Soul Master level, even if the other six members are still Soul Venerables, their team will be matched with Soul Master-level Soul Fighting Teams.

The worst-case scenario, of course, is being matched with a team of seven Soul Masters who are all Soul Masters.

This situation is, of course, the most unfavorable.

Therefore, Ning Feiliu cannot form a Soul Fighting Team with Dugu Yan, so the only Soul Master he knows left is Ye Lingling.

In addition, due to his own identity, it is also difficult for him to form a fighting spirit team with strangers.

Because fighting spirit teams require tacit understanding, it's best if they know each other inside and out.

Ning Feiliu would find it difficult to reveal her true identity and join other people's fighting spirit teams.

Moreover, he does have some requirements for his teammates, especially team fighting spirit. Does he expect a god to carry five noobs?

This would actually slow down his progress and might even break his winning streak.

As for Shuanglan's suggestion... Ning Feiliu could roughly guess that if it wasn't to participate in the team battle soul battle with her, then it was to introduce him to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy's Heaven Dou level students.

That solves the problem easily.

but……

"Let me address your question first," Ning Feiliu said. "After all, I can't just agree to everything you ask me, can I?"

If Shuanglan asked him for the recipe for the Xuan Shui Pill, would he just agree to it?

"Don't worry, I won't ask anything too outrageous... I just want to ask two questions." A fiery glint flashed in Shuanglan's beautiful eyes as she said, "The first question is... what was that phantom in the sky that you unleashed that day, the Summoning of the Ice and Snow God?"

That day, after she saw Ning Feiliu unleash the summons of the God of Ice and Snow, she vaguely saw that enormous, indescribably powerful bird shadow in the sky.

From that illusory figure, she sensed the ultimate ice power that she longed to worship and yearned for, emanating from her bloodline and the depths of her soul.

She even had a vague feeling that there really was a God of Ice and Snow who controlled all the extreme ice and snow in the world high in the sky!

If she could gain the favor of the God of Ice and Snow, her Ice Dragon Frost Clan would definitely be able to take another step forward and evolve her martial soul into a true top-tier ice-type martial soul!

That's why she wanted to ask Ning Feiliu, hoping to get a definite answer from Ning Feiliu: was the majestic phantom in the sky that day the legendary God of Ice and Snow?

Faced with this question, Ning Feiliu hesitated for a moment.

His two major blessing abilities are clearly stated in the quest description: they come from the Forging Demigod and the Ice Demigod.

Two of the three original demigods from Freljord on the continent of Runeterra are Ornn, the demigod of forging and fire, and Anivia, the demigod of ice and snow, who controls frost and blizzards.

The call to summon the God of Smelting, the horn that summons the lava elementals, comes from the demigod Ornn.

The answer to the call of the God of Ice and Snow, and the majestic figure in the sky summoning a blizzard that blots out the sun, is self-evident.

He just didn't know how to tell Shuanglan, or whether he should tell her the truth.

Is this imposing figure a demigod of ice and snow from another world?

It's still ambiguous to say that the Ice Bird is the God of Ice and Snow, and whether Shuanglan misunderstands that this is the God of Ice and Snow of this world is completely irrelevant.

After thinking for a moment, Ning Feiliu chose to give Shuanglan an ambiguous and half-true answer.

"His divine name is the Ice and Snow Demigod, a primordial demigod who governs frost and blizzards," Ning Feiliu said immediately.

"A demigod? Isn't He a complete god?" Shuanglan asked curiously.

The demigods of Runeterra are not entirely equal to the true gods.

But who are the perfect gods of Runeterra?

Aurelion Sol, the Star Forger, and Bard, the Wanderer of the Astral Sphere.

These two true gods who came to Douluo Continent are terrifying beings at least at the level of good and evil god kings. It's hard to say whether the good god king and the evil god king combined could defeat Bard.

Therefore, Anivia, Volibear, and Ornn, these three original nature demigods, although called demigods, actually possess the power of true gods.

These three native demigods of Freljord are also the three with the highest combat power among demigods.

If they were to truly descend upon a fantasy world like Douluo Continent, Ning Feiliu believed that they would at least possess combat power ranging from the God of Law Enforcement to the God-King level.

But even though we have the answer...

Ning Feiliu glanced at her through the mask and said, "Is this your second question?"

He confirmed it before answering Shuanglan.

Although I believe Shuanglan won't renege on her debt, after all, Ning Feiliu has Dugu Bo behind her.

Shuanglan really reneged on her debt. Even if ten members of the Shuang family stood behind her, it wouldn't be enough for Dugu Bo to destroy them.

But Ning Feiliu decided to confirm things with Shuanglan first.

"No," Shuanglan quickly said, "This isn't my second question."

She felt a little helpless; it seemed Ning Feiliu was also on guard.

However, Ning Fei Liuzhen answered the question directly, saying that this was the second question she had asked, and that she had completely used up her chance to ask questions.

There was nothing she could do about it.

After all, she couldn't possibly argue with Ning Feiliu about this.

Do you really think your family has too many people?

She was actually somewhat grateful to Ning Feiliu for reminding her.

"My second question is actually... asked on behalf of an elder of mine," Shuanglan asked. "I want to ask you, did you learn your self-created soul skill from a man who was around forty or fifty years old?"

???

Ning Feiliu didn't quite understand. What exactly did this question mean?

However, he still chose to answer directly at the first moment, saying, "No, my self-created soul skill... well, my self-created soul skill comes from the favor of two revered gods, allowing me to borrow their powerful strength."

"Really not?" Shuanglan asked again, curious.

"What? Do I look like someone who would break a promise?" Ning Feiliu raised an eyebrow, somewhat displeased.

Putting everything else aside, he is absolutely a man of his word.

He has his bottom line. At the very least, he doesn't kill innocent people indiscriminately and he has to keep his promises—these are the most basic things a person should do. He must uphold them.

"No..." Shuanglan took a deep breath and said, "But my elders will probably be disappointed."

Although she didn't know why Tang Yuehua asked this, she could tell that Tang Yuehua really hoped to get a positive answer from Ning Feiliu.

However, Ning Feiliu has now directly denied it.

Tang Yuehua will be extremely disappointed when she finds out.

"Now you can fulfill your promise. First, tell me how you will help me achieve a consistent 100-game winning streak," Ning Feiliu asked.

"Of course, it's Team Battle Spirit. I can introduce you to a group of extremely powerful teammates who are almost invincible among those of your level," Shuanglan said. "And you already know them: Yu Tianheng, Yu Tianxin, Yu Feng, Oslo, and Shimoshimo."

Ning Feiliu raised an eyebrow and said, "Okay, but I have one request: tell them not to overthink things. What I need from them is the pursuit of victory, not other trivial matters."

He naturally believed in the strength of the five members of the Royal Fighting Team and the captain of the Thunder Academy Team from the original storyline.

This is equivalent to removing Dugu Yan from the original Royal Fighting Team and adding Ning Feiliu and Yu Tianxin, making their strength absolutely formidable.

But some people might say, this team already has eight members, shouldn't it be seven?

However, in reality, the team battles in the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Tournament only allow a maximum of seven members.

However, the team battles in the Grand Soul Arena are different. The number of people on both sides in a group battle can be agreed upon through negotiation. According to the rules of the Grand Soul Arena, it is generally limited to seven to ten people.

In other words, it's not impossible to have more than ten people, but the other party must also have ten people to ensure fairness.

In team battles, both sides just need to achieve a balance in the number of players.

The number of team battle spirits is limited to around seven members because of the influence of the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Tournament.

In reality, the team-based fighting spirit in the folk is really based on a maximum of ten members in a team, so ten people form a fighting spirit team together.

The remaining three are essentially substitutes in the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Tournament, who can fill in when the strongest member of the team is absent or has other commitments.

Or... when the opponent has a key Soul Master that can be clearly countered, the last member who can counter him is slightly weaker.

For example, when encountering a spirit master with a nature-type spirit, you can choose to send out a spirit master with a fire-type spirit to focus on elemental advantage.

Ning Feiliu also felt there was no problem; if necessary, team members could be substituted, which is equivalent to the side in Yu-Gi-Oh!

Having one more chance of winning is also very good.

"Yes, no problem, I believe they will understand." Shuanglan said with a light laugh, "But next... I want to have a battle with you first, but don't worry, no matter what, the final victory in this battle will be yours."

Ning Feiliu raised an eyebrow. Although he now had the confidence to defeat even Soul Masters, that was based on the two Blessing Soul Skills as a final guarantee.

He was somewhat wary of Shuanglan, a Soul Master whose Martial Soul quality, talent, and Soul Ring combination were all top-notch.

He had just shattered his third spirit ring and had only recently absorbed a ten-thousand-year spirit ring. He didn't really want to shatter his ring again, because, as I said before, he had his limits.

Unlike some bald guy, he won't be able to ignore limits and continuously improve his strength in a short period of time.

If the ring is used too frequently in a short period of time, it will also suffer great damage.

Ideally, it should be used twice a month, and the age limit of the newly absorbed spirit ring should not exceed that of the previous spirit ring.

After absorbing the ten-thousand-year spirit ring, Ning Feiliu felt that it would be best to wait at least a month before exploding the spirit ring and absorbing a new one.

Therefore, it is best to defeat the opponent without using the two blessing skills.

As for Shuanglan... even an opponent of her caliber might be forced to use two of her Blessing Soul Skills to defeat her in the end.

Now she says that no matter what, Ning Feiliu will be the one to win in the end.

Ning Feiliu no longer needs to worry about being forced to use the two great blessing soul skills a second time in a short period of time.

It can be said that they have a firm grasp on Ning Feiliu's psychology.

"Alright then! Let's go!" Ning Feiliu said confidently.

"But I won't hold back from the start," Shuanglan said with a light smile.

Although she had promised that the final victory in this battle would still belong to Ning Feiliu, she wouldn't admit defeat right away... She wanted to see just how strong Ning Feiliu really was!

"Don't worry, who knows whether you'll admit defeat in the end or I'll defeat you," Ning Feiliu chuckled and said.

He didn't intend to make Shuanglan admit defeat directly. His current confidence and dignity disdained winning in this way. In fact, if it weren't for the fact that the mission of Qiding was not to be failed, he wouldn't have bothered to agree to Shuanglan's request to admit defeat in this battle of souls.

The two went directly to the backstage of the Grand Arena and, with the staff's notarization, registered for this cross-level challenge battle.

The two arrived at the foot of the fighting arena and waited for the battle to end and for the host to announce the winner.

The host on stage suddenly received the news, and the glamorous host immediately announced into the megaphone in a sweet, coquettish voice, "Ladies and gentlemen! Next, we will be facing a special soul battle..."

"Everyone will definitely be looking forward to this! This Soul Battle is a cross-level challenge, with Soul Masters at the Soul Venerable level challenging Soul Grandmasters!"
