Chapter 298: Meeting the Silver Dragon King
"Hmm!"
Upon hearing Ning Bei's words, Ning Fengzhi's eyes suddenly glowed with a hint of golden light. He had really forgotten that his son's martial soul had such a capability.
With the impact of the beast wave, this action was practically certain to succeed. The army of Tiandou would just be a garnish, and the soul beasts were the real main force.
"Since that's the case, I won't ask any more questions. If you need help with anything, just speak up."
"Got it, I won't be polite about it."
Ning Fengzhi nodded, showing a satisfied smile, then he asked about the matter that concerned him the most.
"By the way, how is your divine trial going?"
"It's already halfway done. The other half requires me to defeat Xing Luo, then I'll challenge Xue'er's grandfather."
Though Ning Fengzhi had already suspected this after seeing Ning Bei's expression, hearing it confirmed still left him shocked.
His close companion, Chen Xin, who was a Super Douluo of level 98, had frequently talked about the terrifying difficulty of reaching the extreme level. After he himself had reached the Super Douluo level, his understanding of the Extreme Douluo level deepened.
Now, his son had not only reached the Extreme Douluo level but had also defeated another long-established Extreme Douluo. How could he not be surprised?
"Good, Xue'er's grandfather probably won't cause any trouble. This trial is basically secured. You're getting closer to the final step."
Since Qian Daoliu was Xue'er's grandfather, Ning Fengzhi was confident his son would succeed.
His expression was complex, filled with joy, excitement, and a trace of unwillingness. He knew very well that with his own aptitude, he would probably never reach the divine level. He could only rely on his son's achievements to get a glimpse of the divine realm.
"Alright, Father, don't worry about it. When I become a god, I won't forget about you. At the very least, I'll bring you along to the divine realm to enjoy eternal life."
"You brat, I'll wait for that day."
After bidding farewell to Ning Fengzhi, Ning Bei returned to his room and began to reflect on his battle experience with Poseisi. His soul rings, soul bone skills, and self-created soul skills were all immensely powerful, but he still needed to find a way to completely overwhelm an Extreme Douluo, not relying on life-saving pills like he did against Poseisi.
What he needed was a strategy to turn the advantage gained from soul skills directly into victory, instead of relying on pills as a last resort. He didn't want his battle with Qian Daoliu to end like that.
As time passed, Ning Bei solidified his cultivation and absorbed battle experiences.
Before he knew it, only three days remained until Dai Tianyu's birthday. After some thought, Ning Bei decided to leave for the Star Dou Forest ahead of time, as he needed to use the beast wave and should first notify Di Tian.
He still maintained a high level of vigilance toward both the Silver Dragon King and Di Tian. He didn't harbor any ill intentions toward them, but he couldn't trust them unconditionally. Who knew if they might betray him once he was no longer useful to them?
Now that he had reached the Extreme Douluo level and could become a god soon, Ning Bei finally dared to discuss the possibility of fully healing the Silver Dragon King. Otherwise, he could have done it earlier using the powerful nine-grade pills available to him.
After making up his mind, Ning Bei immediately flew to the royal palace and explained to Qian Renxue that he needed to head to the Star Dou Forest in advance for something. He agreed to start the beast wave in three days, allowing her to prepare accordingly.
Qian Renxue accepted the plan without asking why Ning Bei was going to the Star Dou Forest, understanding that launching a large-scale beast wave would require some cost.
After discussing the details with Qian Renxue, she set the time for the attack on Xing Luo's border two days after the beast wave was launched. This would give Dai Tianyu enough time to mobilize soldiers to deal with the beast wave, while she could take the opportunity to break through Xing Luo's first line of defense without a fight.
"Alright, let's do it this way."
"I'll leave now. If you need any help, you can ask my father. He will assist you."
"I understand, but be careful."
The large-scale beast wave was still dangerous. Although Qian Renxue had confidence in him, a trace of worry still lingered in her heart.
"Don't worry, I'm invincible under the gods, and above the gods, I'll trade one for one."
"You talk too much."
Qian Renxue rolled her eyes at him, but the little worry she had melted away because of his playful banter. After some back-and-forth, Ning Bei, after many years, once again set off toward the Star Dou Forest.
The speed of an Extreme Douluo was terrifying. While a carriage would take tens of days or even half a month, Ning Bei arrived at his destination in just a few minutes.
Looking at the dense forest in front of him, Ning Bei didn't hesitate. After a few agile maneuvers, he arrived at the center of the forest, near where Xiao Tuzi, Da Ming, and Er Ming used to live.
When he arrived, Ning Bei took out Di Tian's reverse scale and released his soul power into it.
Moments later, a tremendous wave passed through the air, and with a crack, Di Tian's figure appeared before him.
"Ning Bei, you're taking quite a long time this time, huh?"
Di Tian's lips curved into a smile. Ning Bei's arrival meant that the main figure's full recovery was imminent.
"Senior, this is the Title Douluo realm. Spending more time isn't unusual, right?"
He couldn't speak the truth, so Ning Bei smoothly changed the topic.
"Take me to meet the Silver Dragon King, Senior. Be prepared, this time's Dan Lei might be terrifying."
Upon hearing this, Di Tian didn't say anything more. After nodding, he enveloped Ning Bei with his soul power and entered the spatial rift again. Ning Bei didn't resist. At this point, if he suddenly attacked, Di Tian couldn't do anything to stop him—they were now on the same level.
Even Di Tian's spatial abilities wouldn't work against Ning Bei, whose Eternal Freezing Domain could freeze space and time to a certain extent. Even Poseisi had needed the Sea God's avatar to escape.
Golden-black light flashed, and after coming out from the spatial rift, Ning Bei and Di Tian arrived at the familiar lake cave.
Before Di Tian could call out, the Silver Dragon King's sharp eyes opened. There was a flicker of excitement in his gaze when he looked at Ning Bei, but it quickly turned to shock.
"What level have you reached now? Why can't I even see through you anymore?"
The Silver Dragon King's words immediately stunned Di Tian. They had come and gone in a hurry, and he hadn't had time to gauge Ning Bei's strength. He had assumed that after returning to the Star Dou Forest, Ning Bei must have reached the Title Douluo level. However, upon hearing the Silver Dragon King's question, Di Tian quickly assessed the situation and showed an expression just like his master's.
"It's impossible! How could you reach the same level as me in just a few years?"
The only two possibilities that could make Di Tian unable to sense someone's level were: either their strength was far greater than his, or they were at the same level.
The first possibility was something Di Tian didn't even dare to imagine, so it must be the second one.
