Reborn as Ning Rongrong, So What?

"Human Soul Master, what is the deal with your ninth Soul Ring?" Di Tian examined Bone Douluo closely before speaking. "Why does it carry the lingering aura of the Dark Devilgod Tiger?"

"I have no idea what you're talking about." Bone Douluo channeled his soul power to repair his Bone Dragon, preparing to seize the opportunity to use Spatial Teleportation again.

After the initial warm-up, the second use of Spatial Teleportation would be faster and more proficient.

"Don't know?" Di Tian said indifferently. "Then surely you must also be unaware of the tombs of the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King beneath us?"

After days of searching, Di Tian had finally confirmed that the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King were located in Sunset Forest.

As he approached this place, the resonance of his bloodline as the leader of the Black Dragon Clan and as a Dragon King himself allowed him to sense the fallen remains of his former comrades.

The mention of the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King caused slight changes in the expressions of Dugu Bo, Dugu Yan, and Ning Fengzhi. This subtle shift was instantly caught by Di Tian's golden pupils.

"So you do know. In that case, I can't let you leave."

The power of a Level 99 demigod erupted without restraint, its terrifying pressure spreading wildly.

"Humans, stay and explain everything clearly."

"Otherwise die!"

As a soul beast, Di Tian had never held any goodwill toward human Soul Masters who hunted soul beasts.

Moreover, these humans had actually used the energy emitted by the corpses of the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King to cultivate medicinal herbs.

This method of "repurposing waste" filled Di Tian with fury.

Additionally, under the orders of the Silver Dragon King, he was to locate the Dark Devilgod Tiger. These humans before him likely held clues about it or were even directly connected to it. Capturing them would likely yield more information.

For the sake of the soul beast race, for the Silver Dragon King.

I, the Golden-Eyed Black Dragon King Di Tian, fear nothing!

"Hmph, Beast God of the Star Dou Great Forest, you are strong. I am no match for you."

"But "

Bone Douluo's body rapidly grew indistinct.

"Using spatial displacement to teleport?" Di Tian sneered. "If it were the Dark Devilgod Tiger, I'd be worried about it escaping. But you? Far too inexperienced."

Di Tian's arm transformed into a massive black dragon claw, tendrils of dark-attribute soul power seeping from between its talons.

A resonant dragon's roar shook the heavens, distorting even the surrounding space.

"Spatial Recall."

Di Tian thrust his claw directly into the displaced space.

"Rip "

The enormous dragon claw seized the Bone Dragon's tail and violently hurled it out of the dimensional rift.

"Eighth Soul Skill Gate of Space!"

"Open!"

The Eighth Soul Skill, deliberately concealed by Bone Douluo a skill meant for teleportation was now revealed. He had used his Ninth Soul Skill as a decoy to buy time for this very moment.

"Damn it!"

The direction Di Tian had thrown the Bone Dragon was precisely where the Gate of Space had formed.

Now, with half his body still within the dimensional rift, Di Tian had not anticipated this. There was no time to withdraw and attack again.

"Very well, human. Aside from the Dark Devilgod Tiger, you're the first to make a fool out of me."

"If I let you leave unscathed today, I'll write my name backward!"

Di Tian summoned his weapon, the Black Dragon Sword, in his palm.

"Black Dragon Sword Slash!"

With sheer soul power, he tore through the dimensional rift.

A terrifying slash blotted out the sky, dyeing the heavens ink-black.

Tearing through the dimensional rift and returning to normal space would expend some energy enough that it wouldn't kill a 98th-rank Title Douluo with a 100,000-year Soul Ring.

But for those weaker, like the people on the Bone Dragon's back? It was more than enough.

Though the Bone Dragon had been thrown, it was now rapidly approaching the pre-established Gate of Space.

But that slash was simply too terrifying. Especially when wielding his sword, Di Tian's soul power surged to a level that left everyone in disbelief.

"Too late." Bone Douluo frowned.

Seeing this attack one that could alter the very environment a chill ran down his spine.

If it were just him, he might barely withstand it. But with so many people here, protecting them all was impossible.

"Everyone, brace yourselves. I'll block this attack as much as I can. The rest is up to you."

Though he said this, Bone Douluo focused most of his soul power on protecting those close to him especially Ning Rongrong and Dugu Yan, who were his top priorities.

As for Ning Fengzhi? With his soul bone, he shouldn't die. After buffs, Dugu Bo was now at Rank 95. With his own weakening abilities, his chances of survival were decent.

As for Tang Hao's people? They'd have to fend for themselves.

To think Di Tian had even infused spatial attributes into this slash, directly tearing through space. It was unbelievable.

Even if he blocked this, what next? Bone Douluo had no idea.

If not for Di Tian's own mastery over space, his Ninth Soul Skill combined with the Eighth could have fully activated the Gate of Space, allowing everyone to escape.

Tang Hao had already detonated all eight of his Soul Rings and was now in a weakened state. Since no prior plan had been discussed, he hadn't known Bone Douluo intended to escape on the second attempt.

Had he known, he wouldn't have detonated all his rings. Now, he was so weak he could barely stand maybe only his Asura Domain remained usable.

Suddenly, Bone Douluo's ninth Soul Ring began to glow brightly.

A massive red ring of light encircled the Bone Dragon, resembling the halo of a 100,000-year Soul Ring, shielding it protectively.

"Tsk tsk, didn't expect to wake up to such a mess. I must've been cursed to end up with a master like you almost slept myself to death."

A barefoot girl appeared atop the Bone Dragon, her pitch-black hair cascading over her shoulders, dressed in Gothic Lolita attire, a pistol lazily dangling in her hand.

Her carefree demeanor was completely at odds with the world of Douluo Dalu.

"Why do you look like that?" Ning Rongrong's eye twitched.

"Don't like it?" The girl murmured. "But I remember scanning your memories when we formed the contract. There was a girl who looked like this, with similar abilities. I liked her."

"Tsk tsk, Master, are you unhappy?"

Ning Rongrong stared at the girl's odd speech patterns, utterly speechless. She shook her wrist, a look of disdain on her face.

"Enough, just help already."

"Got it."

The girl vanished instantly, reappearing before the black energy of the dragon-shaped slash.

She raised her gun.

"Biu."

The bullet struck the maw of the energy-formed Black Dragon Slash.

Upon impact, the Black Dragon's body shuddered slightly, its speed slowing.

A giant pendulum materialized behind the girl.

The pointer in her left eye resembling a clock's hand rotated in sync with the pendulum behind her.

Ning Rongrong and the girl, standing atop the Bone Dragon, spoke in unison.

"Illusion Kyōka Suigetsu!"

In an instant, everything seemed to change yet upon closer inspection, nothing had.

The moment they spoke, the space around the Bone Dragon seemed to compress rapidly.

As if folded, the Bone Dragon performed a spatial leap, swiftly entering the spatial gate.
