Douluo Continent: Reincarnated as the Rock King Emperor, Wandering the Mortal World

Chapter 18, Section 18: Zhongli has been coughing a lot lately; he must be sick.

After a while, Ning Fengzhi came to his senses and quickly waved his hand, saying, "Your Majesty Zhongli is joking. Rongrong is still just a child."

"Your Majesty Zhongli has shown no resentment and has not held my daughter accountable; I, Ning, am deeply grateful!"

Ning Fengzhi stood up and bowed to Zhong Li.

He was grateful, but what truly motivated him to do so was not the second instance of gratitude.

Such a gesture of "treating the virtuous with respect" would likely move anyone else to tears.

Zhongli picked up the teacup with his right hand, took a sip, and then put the teacup down.

With a flick of his right hand, he helped Ning Fengzhi up.

This move made Chen Xin's face turn pale.

The layman looks at the excitement and the insider looks at the doorway.

Although he could also do the same thing as Zhongli, the resulting fluctuations in soul power would definitely not be just that small!

And it's so easy.

This Zhongli's soul power level might be higher than his!

As for whether it's level 97 or 98, that's unclear.

and many more!

As if she had thought of something, Chen Xin glanced at Paimeng, then at Zhongli, her pupils contracted, and she stood there frozen in place.

He got it!

No wonder, no wonder Zhongli hasn't added any spirit rings to his second spirit yet. His goal isn't as simple as becoming an invincible Title Douluo!

Under normal circumstances, a Soul Master with twin Martial Souls will add a Soul Ring to the second Martial Soul after reaching level 90.

A powerful spirit ring can help a spirit master break through quickly and reach a level that many titled Douluo cannot achieve.

Starting from level 91, after absorbing nine soul rings that are over 50,000 years old, his soul power level must have broken through to level 95 or higher.

Reaching level 97, or even possibly level 98.

Currently, no one has succeeded. (He doesn't know.)

However, this theory is achievable.

But Zhongli's situation is different; his soul power level is likely around level ninety-seven!

With such a high level of soul power, why hasn't he added a soul ring to his second martial soul? What is he planning to do?

Level 99?

Do not!

His goal is likely to break the curse that has prevented anyone from becoming a god in the Douluo Continent for ten thousand years!

Once he reaches level 99 and is unable to break through on his own, his second martial soul will become his last hope!

Nine 50,000-year spirit rings won't do, but what about nine 100,000-year spirit rings?

Can we break through the limit directly, from level 99 to level 100?

Thinking of this, Chen Xin's pupils contracted, and his expression became more serious.

God, this is God!

His goal was actually to become a god!

Ning Fengzhi did not reach Chen Xin's level. Although he had experienced a lot, he was not as open-minded about cultivation issues as Chen Xin. He did not even think about it.

"Sect Leader Ning, the title 'Your Majesty' sounds distant."

"Just call me Zhongli."

Zhongli spoke without changing his expression, his amber pupils glancing at Chenxin.

With just one glance, Chen Xin felt a chill run down his spine and broke out in a cold sweat.

That one glance made him feel as if he were being watched by some terrifying being.

Zhongli naturally sensed Chenxin's prying eyes; that glance served as a warning to him.

Now that our "titled" cultivation level has been exposed, it is necessary to make good use of this cultivation.

If you don't use it, the other party will think you are weak and easy to bully. Doing so will only cause you trouble.

Giving Chen Xin a wake-up call can save a lot of trouble.

"Haha, Mian... Mr. Zhongli is right, please don't call me Sect Master Ning anymore."

"I do not know your age, sir, and I dare not presume to presume. If you, Mr. Zhongli, are willing, you may address me as Brother Ning or Fengzhi, either is fine."

Building relationships is Ning Fengzhi's forte!

"Brother?"

Before Zhongli could say anything, Paimon looked at Ning Fengzhi with a surprised expression, then glanced at the old man Zhongli.

Zhongli is already over six thousand years old, which is older than the combined ages of Ning Fengzhi's ancestors for eighteen generations.

Thankfully, he wasn't arrogant and said that as long as Zhongli was willing, she could call him "brother"...

You can't call someone "brother" like that!

Paimon's exclamation startled Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin. Was there something wrong with calling him "brother"?

As the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, he's always the elder brother wherever he goes.

In order to win over Zhong Li, he lowered himself and asked Zhong Li to call him "brother". Is there anything wrong with that?

Ning Fengzhi was an extremely intelligent man, and Paimeng's hesitant manner made him suspicious.

Brother?

This is why Paimon exclaimed in surprise. Could it be that Paimon thinks he is not worthy to be Zhongli's younger brother?

She glanced at Zhongli earlier; perhaps he really did have this idea.

Titled Douluo all possess the ability to reverse aging.

Despite Zhongli's youthful appearance, he is likely much older than Ning Fengzhi. Calling him "brother" is an overestimation of Ning Fengzhi's abilities.

This ability to reverse aging is basically only used by powerful female individuals.

It is essential for them to use their soul power to maintain their beauty and preserve their youth.

Strong men rarely use this ability.

Why waste your soul power when you have nothing better to do?

"Um, Sect Leader Ning, how old are you this year?"

"Fifty-five."

Ning Fengzhi didn't even hesitate before speaking.

His age is no secret; if the little one wants to know, just tell her.

"Only in his fifties?"

Paimon said this subconsciously, which stunned Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin once again.

They weren't stupid; they instantly understood what Paimon meant.

In Paimon's mind, the travelers were at least five or six hundred years old!

She was sealed away for five hundred years.

Zhongli is the longest-lived of the seven Teyvat gods, living for over six thousand years.

The establishment of Liyue dates back more than 3,700 years.

As for Paimon, yeah, how old is she again?

"Cough, cough, cough..."

Zhongli's cough attracted Paimon's attention, interrupting her thoughts. What she had been thinking about just now was instantly forgotten.

"Zhongli, are you alright!?"

"Sect Leader Ning, do you know where there are doctors in Heaven Dou City?"

"Zhongli has been coughing a lot lately, he must be sick and needs a doctor to take him to see him."

Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin fell silent.

Among those present, perhaps only this little guy didn't know why Zhongli was coughing.

Do you also cough frequently?

It seems this little guy often says the wrong thing!

"I do have doctors. I can even summon the imperial physicians from the palace for Mr. Zhongli..."

"No need, I'll be fine in a couple of days with my constitution."

"Thank you for your kindness, Brother Ning."

The group exchanged glances and nodded.

"What are you two communicating with your eyes?"

"It's nothing, just remembering the guests who came from afar."

"Far?"
