Reborn as Ning Rongrong, So What?

Sword Douluo held the Seven Kill Sword in his hand, with nine Soul Rings quietly arranged around him.

His long robe fluttered in the breeze.

Bone Douluo, on the other hand, was clad in black bone armor, his tall figure imposing.

Around his Bone Dragon Spirit, the blood-red glow of the 100,000-year Soul Ring spread, lending a sinister aura to the expanding dark-attribute soul power.

The two stood opposite each other, their auras clashing, filling the air with tension.

"Coward, come on. Let's see what other tricks you have up your sleeve."

Bone Douluo released a terrifying pressure, his 97th-level soul power bearing down on Sword Douluo without restraint.

"Hmph!" Sword Douluo snorted coldly, directly repelling the pressure. "Old Bone, we know each other inside out. I even know what color your underwear is what are you pretending for?"

Bone Douluo's face darkened instantly. He sneered, "As expected, you're shameless! Enough talk come at me head-on!"

Watching Bone Douluo's arrogance, Sword Douluo took a step forward.

The Seven Kill Sword in his hand emitted a sharp hum, and the black ninth Soul Ring burst with intense light.

As Sword Douluo poured soul power into his Spirit, the oppressive sensation grew increasingly terrifying.

"Oh?" Bone Douluo took a slight step back. Seeing Sword Douluo's ninth Soul Ring light up, he couldn't help but laugh. "So this is your trump card? Your ninth Spirit Ability?"

"I've seen it before. In that case, let me show you my power too!"

"This is an entirely new strength."

"Ninth Spirit Ability Bone God Dragon!"

The surrounding atmosphere grew heavy and eerie, thick with dark energy.

Then, the energy erupting from his Spirit transformed into a massive black dragon-shaped silhouette. The shadow grew increasingly solid as Bone Douluo stood atop the skeletal dragon, arms crossed, his gaze sharp.

Just as Bone Douluo was about to speak

Sword Douluo's voice rang out: "Don't die, Old Bone."

The energy of all his Soul Rings visibly flowed into the ninth ring.

"Ring Fusion."

"Ninth Spirit Ability Divine Demon Slash!"

"What?"

The cloudless sky darkened in an instant. The high heavens became overcast, the rumble of thunder echoing through the layers of clouds.

The raging winds whipped at Bone Douluo's gray-black robes as he looked up at the sky. The once-bright day now resembled night, a scene akin to the apocalypse.

Bone Douluo's pupils contracted slightly.

"This kind of power…"

A black-and-white aura converged into a massive sword, slashing straight toward Bone Douluo's Bone Dragon.

The colossal sword descending from the sky carried a vast, ocean-like force, making resistance seem impossible.

"Sword Bastard, are you trying to kill me?!" Bone Douluo's scalp tingled as his ninth Soul Ring suddenly flared. The Bone Dragon transformed into a black whirlwind, attempting to evade Sword Douluo's killing strike.

Yet, the Divine Demon Slash was already unstoppable.

Blade after blade of sharp energy slashed toward Bone Douluo.

Bone Douluo maneuvered the Bone Dragon to dodge, but it was as if he was forcibly locked onto.

"No choice." Bone Douluo gritted his teeth as his soul power surged outward, even causing the Bone God Dragon's body to solidify further.

"Ninth Spirit Ability Spatial Warp!"

The space around the Bone Dragon trembled as it vanished into another dimension.

Riiip

The spatial node was forcibly torn open by the energy. The power of the Divine Demon Slash seeped through, its massive blade striking the Bone God Dragon's enormous body.

Even after being weakened by the alternate dimension, the attack still carried devastating force.

"Awooo "

The sound of cracking bones resembled the Bone God Dragon's agonized wail.

Every time a sword beam penetrated and clashed with the Bone Dragon, it struck like lightning. The resulting shockwaves of shattered air sent soul power rippling through the alternate dimension.

The Bone God Dragon's skeletal structure was relentlessly battered by the energy.

Cracks formed then shattered.

Snap!

A massive fissure stretched from its neck down to its spine, the most terrifying mark left by a single sword beam.

The once-majestic Bone God Dragon now swayed precariously, on the verge of collapse.

"Pfft "

Bone Douluo spat out a mouthful of blood, swiftly maneuvering the Bone Dragon out of the alternate dimension.

A black-hole-like spatial gate appeared as the Bone God Dragon emerged.

At this moment, the Bone Dragon's condition looked dire. The enormous slash marks, though gradually shrinking under Bone Douluo's repairs, still bore remnants of Sword Douluo's soul power, making full recovery impossible in a short time.

The Bone Dragon's right wing had been completely obliterated by the Divine Demon Slash not even bone fragments remained.

"Old Bone, I told you don't be so arrogant!" Sword Douluo panted heavily, his chest heaving, but a faint smile tugged at his lips. "So, how's my new move?"

"Fine, fine, you win!" Bone Douluo wiped the blood from his mouth. "Come on, let's keep going."

The Bone God Dragon flapped its single remaining wing as it charged toward Sword Douluo, jaws wide, preparing for a long-range assault.

After barely surviving Sword Douluo's attack by hiding in another dimension, taking a direct hit was unthinkable.

One misstep, and he'd be dead!

"Chen Xin, just surrender!"

"If I, Gu Rong, don't beat you into a panda today, I won't be satisfied!"

"I surrender!"

Bone Douluo, still controlling the Bone Dragon, stiffened, his words catching in his throat.

His face darkened.

"You what the hell?"

"How can you surrender? Coward! Are you seriously chickening out?"

Bone Douluo was displeased. Truthfully, he could tell Sword Douluo's soul power had been nearly exhausted in that last attack.

But that didn't mean he, Gu Rong, was the only one suffering!

If you don't let me beat you up, are we even friends and rivals?

"Yeah, I'm chickening out." Sword Douluo admitted shamelessly. "Anyway, I've mostly completed Ring Fusion. Now that I know its power, I'm not focused on winning for now."

Bone Douluo: "..."

Do you even believe your own words? Who's the one bragging every time you win?

"Hmph, consider this my loss."

After hesitating for a long time, Bone Douluo ultimately resisted the urge to punch Sword Douluo into a panda.

The two descended from the sky simultaneously.

Bone Douluo's injuries weren't light especially since his ninth Spirit Ability, Bone God Dragon, was linked to his Spirit. The damage would take at least ten days to half a month to recover.

He never expected Chen Xin, whom he knew so well, could penetrate his alternate dimension with such force. It reminded him of Di Tian's attacks there was a strange similarity.

Had Chen Xin's Ring Fusion reached the level of a 99th-rank?

No, it still felt like something was missing.

Bone Douluo carefully recalled his battle with Di Tian. Di Tian's attacks had been far more casual, and their power surpassed Chen Xin's strike.

Still, after Ring Fusion, Chen Xin's ninth Spirit Ability had indeed surpassed the threshold of a 98th-rank. At the very least, Bone Douluo had no confidence in blocking it head-on.

Lost in thought, Bone Douluo lowered his head.

Sword Douluo sat nearby, exhaling heavily Ring Fusion was exhausting.

The sound of footsteps drew their attention.

Bone Douluo and Sword Douluo turned their heads simultaneously.

From behind a boulder emerged a familiar figure.

"Rongrong?"

"Congratulations, Grandpa Sword, on successfully mastering Ring Fusion! The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda will surely rise to greater heights!"

Ning Rongrong, who had just appeared, offered her congratulations to Sword Douluo.
