The Tree Realm Descends on Douluo Continent

Chapter 271 The Confidence of the Strong

"We haven't fought it yet, so everything is still uncertain."

The boy's voice and his steady tone immediately stirred Qian Renxue's heart, who was about to explode, and she fell silent.

Golden Crocodile Douluo's eyes gleamed. Everyone knew of his extraordinary strength, but few knew that he also had a knack for strategy and tactics. When he overheard the conversation outside the hall, he was able to roughly analyze the intentions of the people who came out.

Jin E stroked his chin and smiled, realizing he had overestimated Ning Fengzhi.

Before long, a servant led Li Xun, Ning Fengzhi, and Sword Douluo into the study.

"Greetings, Your Majesty. Greetings, Second Imperial Envoy." After exchanging greetings, the group took their seats one by one.

Golden Crocodile Douluo finally managed to get a seat, but he didn't say much. Instead, he looked at Ning Fengzhi with a smile and said, "Sect Master Ning, what a coincidence. I remember we just parted ways not long ago."

"I originally thought I didn't know when I would see the Second Elder again, but suddenly I had some matters to attend to and had to come to see His Majesty. I didn't expect that you hadn't returned to Wuhun City yet."

Ning Fengzhi's smile was like a gentle breeze, flawless. But if you listened carefully, you could detect the hidden meaning in his words.

"Hehe, I actually wanted to go back earlier, but the Grand Elder was worried about Miss's safety." Golden Crocodile sighed, but a sneer was on his face.

His words often emphasized his status and the authority of the Grand Master, as well as his confidence in his own abilities.

"While he possesses some strategic acumen, his overwhelming strength has led to excessive arrogance." Ning Fengzhi narrowed his eyes, lowering his initial assessment of Jin E even further.

When the Golden Crocodile descended upon the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's territory a few days ago, he had made many preparations and deduced how the situation would develop, but he hadn't yet figured out how to act.

But when Li Xun returned today, Ning Fengzhi realized that he had complicated everything.

This is actually related to his ability.

As a support Soul Master, although he is quite strong, he doesn't actually possess many of the qualities of a powerful individual. While he has strategic skills, his inability to assess the gap between powerful individuals leads him to consistently lower his expectations.

Most importantly, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School must now firmly stand behind Qian Renxue, making her feel that she can rely on them. Otherwise, if Qian Renxue yields under pressure, the Spirit Hall will seize the initiative of the Heaven Dou Empire.

But all of this is predicated on just how strong Sword Douluo is right now.

After the master and disciple finished their conversation, Ning Fengzhi suddenly realized what was going on, and then led Li Xun and Sword Douluo to the palace.

"Second Elder, there's no need to worry. With Fengzhi and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School here, I don't think any villain can threaten His Majesty's safety," Ning Fengzhi said to Qian Renxue with a smile.

"Second Elder, don't worry, you can just go back to Wuhun City." Qian Renxue was no longer angry and was much more confident.

Golden Crocodile Douluo didn't reply, but looked at Li Xun with a smile: "This young man must be the legendary genius of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."

"Indeed, greetings to the Second Elder." Li Xun looked flattered.

"His talent is indeed extraordinary." Golden Crocodile Douluo looked me up and down, nodded, and then smiled and said, "Were you just comparing me to Chen Xin?"

Li Xun wiped away imaginary sweat with his sleeve and smiled sheepishly, "I was just being curious and spoke without thinking. Please forgive me, Second Master."

"Don't be afraid. It's only natural for young people to yearn for powerful martial arts. After all, in this world, everything is determined by strength." Golden Crocodile Douluo waved his hand, looking completely unconcerned.

But he focused his gaze on the Sword Douluo, who was resting with his eyes closed: "Would Sword Douluo be willing to spar?"

From the sounds outside, he could roughly guess what Ning Fengzhi was planning to do next, but what good was it? In this world, might makes right.

Golden Crocodile Douluo had forgotten when he advanced to level 98. Although he still had a long way to go to reach level 99, how could a newly promoted Sword Douluo compare to his years of accumulation?

This is the confidence of a strong person.

"Then please." Sword Douluo suddenly opened his eyes, as if a sharp light flashed across them, and his aura continued to rise.

This battle was something he had been looking forward to. Now that he had reached level 98 some time ago, it was a good opportunity to see his current strength and pave the way for his future challenge against Qian Daoliu.

"As expected of the Seven Kill Sword, he is indeed qualified to be my opponent." Jin E sensed something and his expression slowly became serious. He realized that Sword Douluo was slightly different from what he had expected.

The two men's auras intertwined, and the air inside the hall seemed to freeze. In a moment, the two men burst out of the gate and flew towards the outskirts of Tiandou City.

After all, even if two near-limit Douluo clash, it would still cause enormous damage to the city.

Seeing the two about to disappear from sight, Li Xun dropped his fake smile and quickly stood up. This was a rare opportunity to observe the Sword Douluo in battle, and since the two were of similar strength, their fight would inevitably reveal more details.

His swordsmanship is currently only at the level of close combat. He needs to observe duels between masters and absorb their techniques to make greater progress.

Not a single mistake, not a single poem, not a single post, not a single piece of content, not a single look!

"Xiao Xun, take me with you." Ning Fengzhi said quickly when he saw Li Xun about to leave.

Although this was a calculated move, deliberately provoking Golden Crocodile and Sword Douluo to fight, they are not enemies of the Spirit Hall after all, so it is necessary to guard against unexpected situations.

He was also very worried about the outcome. If Sword Douluo won, everything would be fine, but if he lost, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School might have to go into a state of silence.

"Junior brother, take me with you too." Qian Renxue glanced at Ning Fengzhi in surprise, then, remembering that Li Xun might be able to fly, she flashed to Li Xun's side.

This battle is crucial to her future freedom of movement, and she wants to see the outcome with her own eyes.

While her martial soul, the Six-Winged Angel, can fly, it emits a dazzling golden light when summoned, making it too conspicuous. Although Tian Dou is now under her control, too many people seeing it could cause unnecessary trouble.

Li Xun nodded, put his left arm around Qian Renxue's waist, and joined his right arm with Ning Fengzhi's, before soaring into the sky.

Of course, it wasn't that he forgot his teacher because of his good looks, but rather that he wasn't used to hugging and cuddling with a grown man.

Although he was eager to learn swordsmanship, Li Xun still felt a different kind of emotion when he felt the softness in his hands.

This was the first time the two had been in such close proximity. Although they had been close before, there was always a distinction between men and women, and their behavior was always more polite.

The scenery receded before her eyes, but Qian Renxue had no mood to appreciate it. Feeling the burning sensation from her waist, her mind was in chaos, and her heart was pounding.

Ning Fengzhi was feeling very upset. He turned to look at Li Xun several times, but seeing his disciple looking so focused on getting on his way, he swallowed his words.

He secretly vowed that he would never again need Li Xun to carry him while he flew.
