Reborn as Ning Rongrong, So What?

"Who... what kind of person?"

Just as Dugu Bo was about to speak and ask, Bone Douluo who was highly sensitive to dark energy felt his eyelids twitch. A look of shock and urgency quickly spread across his face. "Such terrifying dark energy!"

"Hurry, Dugu Bo, listen to Rongrong. Take everything you can carry and let's go."

Though he didn't understand what was happening, the urgency in Ning Rongrong and Gu Rong's voices made Dugu Bo act immediately. He quickly stored the Phoenix Coronary Grass and Eight Petal Immortal Orchid in containers. Just as he was about to gather more precious herbs

"No need for the rest. There's no time."

As Bone Douluo's words fell, the azure sky was suddenly shrouded in dark clouds. A vast surge of dark-type soul power, terrifying in its intensity, sent chills down everyone's spines.

Feeling this familiar energy fluctuation, Dugu Bo's body trembled involuntarily.

"...The ruler of the Star Dou Great Forest why would he come to Sunset Forest?"

"The ruler of the Star Dou Great Forest?" Tang San and the others exchanged bewildered glances.

Qian Renxue seemed to recall something, her expression shifting slightly:

"The ruler of the Star Dou Great Forest... the Beast God, Di Tian?"

Even while disguised as Xue Qinghe, Qian Renxue could never forget what had happened back then.

Her grandfather, Qian Daoliu, had ventured into the Star Dou Great Forest to kill the Dark Devilgod Tiger and avenge her. However, he ended up clashing with the ruler of the Star Dou Great Forest the Beast God, Di Tian.

Qian Renxue didn't know the outcome of that battle, but Di Tian was likely on par with her grandfather!

"Teacher, we must leave now." Qian Renxue spoke urgently in Xue Qinghe's voice. "That's the Beast God Di Tian of the Star Dou Great Forest, equivalent to a 99th-ranked Title Douluo. I've read about him in the Heaven Dou Imperial Library."

Xue Qinghe seemed quite knowledgeable about the Star Dou Great Forest. Tang Hao and the others, though outsiders in this matter, understood what a 99th-ranked powerhouse meant.

This was not an enemy they could face right now.

"Mm."

Ning Fengzhi also knew time was of the essence. His Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda manifested, displaying two yellow, two purple, and four black soul rings an eight-ringed Soul Douluo, a dazzling sight.

"Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda..."

Three streams of energy infused into Bone Douluo, Dugu Bo, and Tang Hao's bodies.

Even though Tang Hao was only at the 89th rank and lacked a soul slot to break through to the 90th rank and unleash Title Douluo-level strength, he still felt his capabilities rise slightly, allowing him to exert more power.

But compared to his own minor boost, he was more intrigued by Ning Fengzhi's Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

"I never expected Sect Master Ning to actually succeed," Tang Hao remarked, his tone laced with surprise.

"Mm. I originally planned to reveal this later to further elevate the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's reputation, but I didn't expect such an urgent situation to arise," Ning Fengzhi explained casually.

Qian Renxue remained silent, only glancing sideways at Ning Fengzhi.

Dugu Bo's soul rings also materialized. Having just reached the 94th rank, under the enhancement of the Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, his soul power surged close to the 96th rank though not quite there, it still surpassed the usual level of a 95th-ranked powerhouse.

As for Bone Douluo, his soul rings slowly rose one after another.

Two yellow, two purple, four black, and one red.

A 97th-ranked Title Douluo, amplified by Ning Fengzhi's support, reached the strength of a 98th-ranked Title Douluo even surpassing the maximum power Sword Douluo could unleash under similar enhancements.

"A 100,000-year red soul ring!" Yu Xiaogang exclaimed in shock.

"I had some fortuitous encounters and breakthroughs. But now is not the time to discuss this," Bone Douluo cut off their thoughts. "With Fengzhi's enhancement, I'm now equivalent to a 98th-ranked Title Douluo. But compared to the Beast God of the Star Dou Great Forest, I'm still no match."

"I'll do my best to get everyone out, but I can't guarantee everyone's safety."

The implication in Bone Douluo's words was clear.

Tang Hao's group were outsiders, while the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School members were insiders.

If something went wrong, don't blame him for prioritizing his own.

Tang Hao understood this perfectly and replied indifferently, "Then we'll trouble you."

Putting himself in their shoes, he would do the same. There was no room for complaint.

"Then let's go!" Bone Douluo erupted with a terrifying surge of soul power the first time he had used his abilities since his breakthrough.

"Dark Domain."

"Ninth Soul Skill Bone Dragon."

Under the amplification of the Dark Domain, the bone dragon transformed by his martial soul grew larger and larger.

Bone Douluo lifted everyone with his soul power, placing them on the dragon's back. The massive bone dragon soared into the sky, its vast dark energy spreading outward through its wings.

But just as the bone dragon took off, before it could escape

A distant black dot rapidly expanded, piercing through the domain barrier and invading Bone Douluo's Dark Domain.

It was a burly man, exuding a chilling aura of soul power.

"Humans, stay."

Though he had never seen Di Tian's appearance, the only being capable of suppressing his soul power and domain aside from a 99th-ranked powerhouse was none other than the Beast God of the Star Dou Great Forest. Dugu Bo and Ning Rongrong confirmed this from the soul power imprint.

"That depends on whether you have the ability to stop us." Bone Douluo's ninth soul ring flashed once more as he roared, "Ninth Soul Skill Spatial Tra "

"Hmph, trying to escape?"

A deep dragon's roar erupted from Di Tian. An overwhelming pressure surged around him as terrifying energy rolled outward, sweeping across the battlefield like a tidal wave.

The violent energy condensed into claw marks, tearing through Bone Douluo's domain with absolute darkness.

"Dragon God's Claw!"

Like paper being shredded, claw marks appeared across the domain. The Dark Domain shattered completely.

"What a terrifying opponent." Bone Douluo's heart pounded. Though he was weaker, he was still a 98th-ranked Title Douluo. Yet the gap between them was far greater than he had imagined.

Under Bone Douluo's control, the bone dragon flapped its wings.

Fierce gusts of wind weakened the force of Di Tian's Dragon God's Claw.

Dugu Bo also launched an attack.

His ninth soul skill was a crowd-clearing ability, useless here. To buy time for the spatial translocation, Dugu Bo targeted Di Tian directly with his eighth soul skill.

"Eighth Soul Skill Time Freeze!"

Di Tian's body seemed to freeze momentarily.

At the same time, the Golden Iron Triangle on the bone dragon's back began their martial soul fusion.

"Martial Soul Fusion Skill Golden Sacred Dragon!"

Seeing Yu Xiaogang's trio activate their fusion skill, Ning Fengzhi didn't hold back, immediately bestowing three buffs upon them. With Yu Xiaogang now at the 31st rank and amplified by the Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, the Golden Sacred Dragon fusion skill reached the power of a 91st-ranked Title Douluo.

While the three activated their fusion skill, Tang Hao despite his crippled state charged forward without hesitation, summoning his Clear Sky Hammer.

"Clear Sky Secret Technique Great Sumeru Hammer!"

"Ring Explosion All Eight Rings!"

Though he might need a long time to recover afterward, failing to go all-out now wouldn't mean rest it would mean death.

But the absolute difference in strength was insurmountable. Even weakened, the Dragon God's Claw tore through Tang Hao and the Golden Sacred Dragon's interception, slamming directly into Bone Douluo's bone dragon.

Bone Douluo had only recently gained spatial abilities and wasn't yet proficient, needing time to prepare.

But Di Tian had anticipated this, leaving no opening. Bone Douluo could only command the bone dragon to defend with its wings, doing everything possible to protect those on its back.

The gap between a 98th and 99th rank was sometimes wider than the gap between humans and dogs.

The hundred-meter-long bone dragon was sent flying. The explosive energy rippled across the skies of Sunset Forest, the violent winds causing the trees to sway wildly and leaves to scatter.

After an unknown amount of time, the aftershocks gradually dissipated.

The bone dragon was now in tatters. Half of its wings had been torn off at the joints, and its sturdy body was now a mess of broken bones, creaking ominously.

Dark energy seeped from its body, exuding a suffocating pressure. It seemed to be on its last legs, teetering on the verge of collapse.

"Oh? You managed to block it. How unexpected." Di Tian hovered mid-air, his tone indifferent. "But it doesn't matter. As long as you don't escape."

Di Tian shook his head. Like him, he also wielded spatial abilities.

Compared to the Dark Devilgod Tiger's absurd escape skills, this human Soul Master's grasp of spatial techniques was laughably immature utterly unrefined.
