The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, located within the forest behind it.
Within this forest lies a martial arts arena with a diameter spanning several miles.
This empty area was created by Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo.
Because no one knew how far the battle between Song Zhe and Sword Douluo would go, they came here.
Song Zhe and Sword Douluo Chen Xin stood facing each other.
Not far away, Ning Fengzhi, Bone Douluo, Poison Douluo, and Dugu Yan were watching the battle.
Apart from that, there was no one else around.
"Young Song, shall we have a sword fight or some martial arts competition?"
Sword Douluo stood still, with the Seven Kill Sword floating beside him, resembling a peerless sword immortal.
His otherworldly and refined appearance was indeed very handsome and exuded a high-class aura.
On the other side, Song Zhe also summoned the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass.
Sword energy swirled freely around the nine-leaf sword grass, like flowing light.
However, nine of the leaves beneath the Nine-Leaf Sword Grass are now covered by starlight.
(TL: shouldn't it be like 5 rn?)
"First, we'll have a sword fight, then we'll have a martial arts competition."
Song Zhe did not hesitate and chose both.
A sword fight is simply a contest of swordsmanship skills, while a martial arts competition is a comprehensive exchange of techniques.
Just like his battle with Dugu Bo, both sides could use any move they wanted.
"Very well, I've been wanting to see how much you've grown in six years, since I can't take you as my apprentice."
(TL: bro is not letting that go lol)
Sword Douluo waved his hand, and the Seven Kill Sword landed in his hand.
What followed was a swordsmanship sparring session, rather than a real martial arts competition.
"My soul power is currently at level 59. Sword Elder, you should suppress your realm to level 59, and we will have a sword duel."
Swordsmanship without the use of soul power is simply a contest of swordsmanship, not the Way of the Sword.
Therefore, Song Zhe did not hesitate to report his soul power level.
"Good lad, it's been five years, and you've actually reached this level."
Sword Douluo was astonished, never expecting that Song Zhe's soul power would reach such a high level.
It should be noted that when they met five years ago, his and Ning Rongrong's soul power levels were exactly the same.
Ning Rongrong is currently only a Soul Grand Master at most, while Song Zhe is about to become a Soul Emperor.
He is indeed not qualified to take on a disciple like that.
"Grandpa, why did Senior Chen Xin say that the test of Song Zhe's six years of cultivation results was actually five years? Wasn't he still a Soul Master five years ago?"
Dugu Yan was immediately confused.
Everyone met five years ago, how could he not know that Song Zhe had already become a Soul Grand Master back then?
Could it be that Song Zhe was faking it all along, that he was deceiving her?
"Yanyan, haven't you heard Song Zhe mention this? When he awakened his martial soul, it was so powerful that it drained his innate soul power. In other words, he didn't have any soul power at all when he awakened his martial soul."
"His current level 59 soul power is entirely from the cultivation he's achieved over the past six years. Five years ago, he happened to be acquiring his first soul ring when he encountered me and Uncle Sword in the Star Dou Great Forest."
Ning Fengzhi was also taken aback when he heard about Song Zhe's soul power level.
A person with innate soul power level 0 actually reached soul power level 10 in just one year.
Actually, this makes sense, since his Nine-Leaf Sword Grass might just be temporarily absorbing his innate soul power.
But to increase one's soul power by 49 levels in five years is unheard of.
It should be noted that Ning Rongrong, who has an Innate soul power level of 9, is only at level 26 soul power now.
"I see. I hadn't asked him about it in detail before."
Dugu Yan looked at Song Zhe with admiration.
No wonder he's the man she chose; he's a living legend.
"Young Song, I wonder if you can pull off a trick on Old Man Sword?"
Dugu Bo stroked his beard, staring at the field with a happy expression.
We're all brothers, so naturally we should share the hardships. We can't let him suffer.
"Old Poison Master, you didn't get tricked by that kid, did you?!"
Bone Douluo immediately noticed something amiss.
Judging from Dugu Bo's appearance, his guess was probably correct.
It is said that if one underestimates Song Zhe, one will definitely be tricked.
This kid was accompanied by servants of a peerless Douluo, which shows that the cultivation resources he had were extremely abundant.
Such a person has many trump cards up their sleeve and is definitely not easy to deal with.
Even a titled Douluo can suffer losses if they underestimate their opponent.
"Hehe, that kid even promised me he'd go to Spirit Hall and beat up Chrysanthemum Douluo."
Dugu Bo chuckled sinisterly, asking if he wanted to go and take a look.
If Chrysanthemum Douluo were to suffer a setback and be seen by him on the spot, Chrysanthemum Douluo's expression would probably be quite unpleasant.
"Five years ago, wasn't it Chrysanthemum Douluo who took him to the Star Dou Great Forest, where he was then kidnapped by that mysterious woman and her men? Why is he going to the Spirit Hall to beat up Chrysanthemum Douluo?"
Ning Fengzhi turned his head to the side, looking at the Dugu Bo.
He realized that Dugu Bo definitely knew more information than they did.
No wonder other people's granddaughters are clinging to Song Zhe's arm, while his own daughter is left at Shrek Academy.
"With Bibi Dong's orders, how dare Chrysanthemum Douluo disobey?"
Dugu Bo snorted coldly.
He had no goodwill toward the people of Spirit Hall, but Song Zhe's Spirit Hall was a different story.
Bibi Dong's feelings towards Song Zhe suggest that their relationship is definitely not simple.
Moreover, Bibi Dong seemed to be very wary of that woman surnamed Gu, but she treated Song Zhe very well.
"Why would Bibi Dong give such an order? Didn't Song Zhe say he wasn't a member of Spirit Hall?"
Ning Fengzhi frowned deeply.
They didn't get along very well with Spirit Hall either, and if Song Zhe were in Spirit Hall, their situation would be even more troublesome.
Qian Daoliu alone was beyond their ability to contend with, let alone the mysterious expert behind Song Zhe.
"Yes, when I saw him, he was with Bibi Dong and that mysterious woman. Both of them were very close to him. Bibi Dong seemed to be very wary of that mysterious woman, while Song called them both 'sister'."
Dugu Bo didn't actually know much either.
These things can't be kept secret forever; they can find out by asking around.
It would be better to do Ning Fengzhi a favor.
"Bibi Dong? Could it be that Song Zhe is the son of the immortal? Back then, the Immortal forced the previous pope of Spirit Hall to abdicate and pushed Bibi Dong to the position of Pope. After that, he disappeared and has not been seen since."
Ning Fengzhi suddenly remembered a major event that happened a long time ago.
Bibi Dong was originally the Holy Maiden of Spirit Hall, but one day, a man named the Immortal challenged Spirit Hall.
Even Qian Daoliu at that time was no match for him. In the end, he left behind a sentence saying that Bibi Dong would be the Pope of Spirit Hall from now on.
From that time on, the master of Spirit Hall was no longer surnamed Qian, but Bibi Dong's power was still no match for the Qian family.
Most people speculate that something happened between Bibi Dong and Qian Xunji.
Ultimately, this led to the appearance of the Immortal, who nearly killed Qian Xunji and severely injured a group of Titled Douluos from Spirit Hall.
Because Bibi Dong the woman of the Immortal, Qian Daoliu dared not touch her. Of course, these are all outsiders' speculations.
"You mean he is the son of the banished immortal, so Bibi Dong is also his person?"
Dugu Bo immediately cleared his mind.
Therefore, this little guy must have at least one immortal behind him, plus his mother.
