Chapter 555 Reencounter with the Peerless Dragon and Snake Couple.
Ning Fengzhi stepped forward, with Chen Xin and Gu Rong standing beside him. He conveniently positioned himself in front of Xuan Mo and Ning Rongrong, then looked at Hu Yanxiang with a smile.
"Sect Master Ning."
Hu Yanxiang's brows furrowed slightly upon seeing Chen Xin and Gu Rong beside Ning Fengzhi.
However, he still stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, "Sect Master Ning, how have you been?"
He also addressed Chen Xin and Gu Rong, "Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo. I have long admired your names!" However, a subtle arrogance could be easily detected in his tone.
"Hehe, I didn't expect Sect Master Hu Yanxiang to have broken through to the Title Douluo level. Congratulations! Unlike me, who was merely a Soul Saint before." Ning Fengzhi's smile was insincere; he didn't take Hu Yanxiang's attitude to heart at all.
"Sect Master Ning is too kind."
Hu Yanxiang narrowed his eyes, lost in thought. However, clearly not wanting to linger, after saying this, he suppressed the dissatisfaction of the Elephant Armor Sect disciples behind him and said to Ning Fengzhi, "Sect Master Ning, the Seven Great Sects Tournament is about to begin, so I will take my leave."
With that, he turned and left without looking back.
"Heh heh! Truly worthy of breaking through to the Title Douluo level."
Seeing this, before anyone else could speak, Gu Rong chuckled sinisterly.
"Now that the Elephant Armor Sect has a Title Douluo, it seems they've become quite assertive."
Chen Xin narrowed his eyes, glancing at him disdainfully.
"With someone like Hu Yanxiang, who forcibly broke through without any foundation, a full-force sword strike from me wouldn't be a match for him."
Xuan Mo and Ning Rongrong, standing to the side, heard Chen Xin's words and, while feeling they were somewhat boastful, realized they were true.
"Xiao Mo, you and Rongrong need to be careful from now on."
At this moment, Ning Fengzhi suddenly spoke.
He gazed in the direction the Elephant Armor Sect had departed and said, "According to the information the sect received, besides helping Hu Yanxiang break through to the Title Douluo level, the Spirit Hall also helped several peak Soul Saints of the Elephant Armor Sect break through to the Soul Douluo level. And they harbor considerable hatred towards you."
"Heh heh... It's the Spirit Hall again. Even now that evil Soul Master organizations like the Holy Spirit Cult have emerged, they still can't resist these petty tricks. They still have that wolfish ambition."
Ning Fengzhi simply shook his head slightly at Gu Rong's words. "In the Spirit Hall's eyes, the Holy Spirit Cult is just a minor nuisance until it threatens their dominance."
"Father-in-law, don't worry."
As soon as Ning Fengzhi finished speaking, Xuan Mo confidently said, "Those guys who forcibly broke through to the Soul Douluo level, according to my spiritual perception, the threat I feel from them is not as great as that of Mu Lin and Ryder."
"No Soul Master should underestimate their opponent."
Although Chen Xin said this, the expression on his face showed that he completely agreed.
At the same time.
"Brother Mo (Xiao Mo), Rongrong."
Hearing the voices, Xuan Mo and Ning Rongrong all turned around.
Tang San and Xiao Wu, leading the Tang Clan, Grandmaster, Liu Erlong, and Yu Yuanzhen, representing the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, and Flander and Zhao Wuji, leading the Shrek Academy group, all appeared before them.
"Everyone, I didn't expect you all to be here."
Ning Fengzhi said, quickly joining Yu Yuanzhen.
"Xiao San, Dean, Teacher Zhao, you've arrived."
After greeting everyone, they headed to their base in the Tianjian Mountain area.
However, they hadn't gone far when Ma Hongjun and Oscar suddenly approached, raising their eyebrows and calling out to Xuan Mo and Tang San, "Brother San, Brother Mo!"
"Hmm?"
Xuan Mo couldn't help but speak up upon seeing this, "Why aren't you two with Xiang Xiang and Yun'er? What are you doing here with us?"
He then noticed Ma Hongjun and Oscar's gazes, and following their direction, his expression subtly changed as he looked at Tang San.
Even Xiao Wu seemed to remember something, her face darkening instantly. She placed her hand on Tang San's waist and twisted it hard, causing Tang San to gasp in pain.
It turned out that Xuan Mo and the others were acting this way because they had seen familiar faces: the Peerless Dragon and Snake couple, Dragon Duke Meng Shu and Snake Granny Chao Tianxiang, along with their granddaughter, Meng Yiran.
While Xuan Mo and the others were joking, Ning Fengzhi and the others also spotted the Peerless Dragon and Snake couple and analyzed, "With the strength of the Peerless Dragon and Snake couple, they have a very good chance of ranking high among the Lower Four Sects. If it weren't for Hu Yanxiang and Tuoba Xi breaking through their titles, their chances of even reaching the Upper Three Sects would have greatly increased."
Hearing Ning Fengzhi's words, everyone nodded in agreement.
Meanwhile, Xuanmo could also sense that Snake Granny Chaotianxiang, who had once been only a six-ring Soul Emperor, had now reached the level of a seven-ring Soul Saint, clearly showing a significant improvement in strength.
Under these circumstances, the Peerless Dragon and Snake couple, upon activating their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, possessed combat power comparable to a Title Douluo.
Since Xuanmo and his group could see the Peerless Dragon and Snake couple, they could naturally see Xuanmo and the others as well, especially Zhao Wuji and Meng Yiran.
When Zhao Wuji saw them, his aura immediately locked onto the Peerless Dragon and Snake couple.
Meng Yiran, beside the Peerless Dragon and Snake couple, kept scanning the Shrek Academy team with her gaze, clearly searching for Tang San, but due to Tang San's drastically changed appearance, Meng Yiran didn't recognize him at all. However, she was quickly pulled away by the Peerless Dragon and Snake team.
After all, back in the Star Dou Great Forest, Chaotianxiang and Meng Yiran from the Peerless Dragon and Snake team had clashed with the Shrek Academy members, and now Zhao Wuji and the others from Shrek Academy had become Title Douluo powerhouses. Therefore, they were genuinely afraid that the Shrek Academy members might suddenly bring up old grudges.
However, Zhao Wuji and the others were unaware of the thoughts of the Peerless Dragon and Snake couple, and even if they had, they would have simply laughed it off. After all, their strengths were now different, so there was no need to dwell on it too much. Besides, they weren't the ones who suffered losses in the Star Dou Great Forest incident back then.
At this moment, Zhao Wuji patted Xuan Mo's shoulder.
"Xiao Mo, you and Rongrong need to be careful of the Peerless Dragon and Snake next time."
"Golden Bear Douluo is right."
Ning Fengzhi also came over, "The Peerless Dragon and Snake are not like Hu Yanxiang and the others. They can participate in team battles repeatedly without breaking through to the Title Douluo level, so you and Rongrong need to be careful when you encounter them."
"Teacher Zhao, you don't need to worry."
Xuan Mo wasn't nervous at all.
Because with his current strength, as long as he had Ning Rongrong's assistance, he wouldn't have much difficulty fighting the Peerless Dragon and Snake couple by himself. Even if the Peerless Dragon and Snake couple used their Martial Soul Fusion Technique, it would only be a draw.
After all, Xuan Mo's soul power cultivation had already reached level eighty. Even without his eighth soul ring, his current full-power burst of strength was close to that of a Title Douluo. When he and the Peerless Dragon and Snake couple activated their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, their combat power was comparable to that of an ordinary Title Douluo.
Therefore, even with Ning Rongrong's full-power boost… compared to Xuan Mo, they still had a gap to close, and the Peerless Dragon and Snake couple might even be no match for him.
Having received Xuan Mo's reply, Ning Fengzhi and the others didn't say anything more. Instead, they continued their journey to their base together.
