Douluo Continent: So What If I Reincarnate as Ning Rongrong?

Chapter 14 Heading to the Heaven Dou Empire

"So that's how it is! What we saw from the beginning was just an illusion!"

The two titled Douluo suddenly realized.

No wonder it seemed like Ning Rongrong's position changed slightly at a certain distance.

But because they didn't see Ning Rongrong move, they didn't notice.

"Rongrong, how did you do that?"

Ning Fengzhi asked curiously, while Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo also turned their gazes to Ning Rongrong.

"Manipulating the moisture in the air to cause refraction will cause objects to appear distorted in our vision."

"Refraction occurred?"

The three looked at each other, completely unable to follow Ning Rongrong's train of thought.

This demonstrates the importance of learning!

It's perfectly normal for people in this world not to understand, or to have never learned, this.

"I'll explain it to you with examples!" Ning Rongrong said after a slight pause.

"Dad, Grandpa Sword, and Grandpa Bone, have you ever retrieved anything from the water? And where you retrieved it, was it often different from where you actually saw it?"

Ning Rongrong's words surprised Ning Fengzhi and the other two slightly.

The scene Ning Rongrong described gradually appeared in the minds of the three of them.

Before the three could answer, Ning Rongrong continued, "I used this principle to create a visual illusion for you."

Simply put, it refers to the properties of wave propagation and the refraction of light.

When the density of the space around you increases, light will refract.

A Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda appeared in Ning Rongrong's hand.

At close range, Ning Fengzhi and the others saw a thin film around Ning Rongrong's Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda.

It is very thin and transparent, and cannot be seen at all unless you are very close.

"This is using true energy to change the density of moisture in the air, with oneself and the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda as the center."

"It's a bit of a shame that I can only keep a distance of three meters between myself and the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda."

"Everything you see from here will appear somewhat disproportionate."

Do you know why humans can see objects that don't emit light?

"The result of light shining on an object and entering a person's eye through reflection."

"I'm just influencing this reflection process."

"Rongrong, aren't you worried that the image you're seeing might be misaligned? It's a two-way street, isn't it?"

"That would be extremely dangerous on the battlefield."

Although I hadn't studied physics, I didn't really understand what Ning Rongrong was saying.

However, as a sect leader, one can probably deduce some of the principles behind this skill.

This not only changes the enemy's perspective, but also changes one's own.

If something unexpected happens, wouldn't we be devastated?

"When the surrounding density changes, a calculable angle of refraction will appear. As long as you pay attention to this, there will be no accidents," Ning Rongrong said.

"The idea is good, but the solution is also quite simple!" Both titled Douluo were surprised by Ning Rongrong's imaginative idea.

However, this method of using optical illusions to evade enemy attacks is easily countered once the principle is understood.

"Ah, right!" Ning Rongrong nodded, "We can't use it for large-area soul skills or close-range attacks."

"These are techniques primarily designed for ranged attacks and control of Soul Masters."

"Think about it, if what you see is a misalignment, then the attack will definitely be on that misaligned spot, just like what you just did!"

"As a support Soul Master, all I need to do is find ways to increase my survival rate; I don't have to fight to the death with Battle Soul Masters."

"If it really came down to a fight to the death, the Soul Master would probably have already been killed by the enemy!"

"That makes sense." The two titled Douluo and Ning Fengzhi nodded in agreement with Ning Rongrong's statement.

"Rongrong, what's this move called?"

Bone Douluo chuckled, "Although it involves some trickery, it's also quite practical."

"A mirage." Ning Rongrong thought of a hair gel guy who called himself a "flowing water" Zanpakuto.

"A flower in a mirror, the moon in the water. That does quite fit the effect of a soul skill," Sword Douluo remarked.

"Yes, it's not finished yet. This is all I can do for now," Ning Rongrong sighed.

"What effect does Rongrong want to achieve?" Ning Fengzhi asked, somewhat surprised.

"It affects all senses: sight, hearing, smell, taste, and touch," Ning Rongrong said.

Currently, it can only be said that it affects the visual experience, and its application is relatively limited.

"This..." Upon hearing Ning Rongrong's words, Ning Fengzhi and the two Title Douluos twitched at the corners of their mouths. "Rongrong, your expectations are a bit high!"

"But Dad, isn't it very dangerous for a support Soul Master to be without these companions?"

Ning Fengzhi: "..."

"Cough cough~" Ning Fengzhi coughed a few times, changing the subject, "Rongrong, you can do it, Dad believes in you."

"It's almost time. We need to set off for the Heavenly Dou Empire, or it might be bad if we're late," Ning Fengzhi changed the subject.

Ning Rongrong also remembered that today was the departure day. She put away the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, thought for a moment, and asked, "Is Grandpa Bone coming with us this time, or Grandpa Sword?"

"Of course it's me." Bone Douluo patted his chest. "I'm worried that the coward next to me will be too afraid of big situations and shrink back."

"Old bones, when have I ever been timid or cowardly? I'm just considering the bigger picture."

"Also, wasn't it said that Tang Hao's matter was already over?"

Several black lines appeared on Sword Douluo's face.

Tang Hao, who's always teased for being too afraid to mess with someone who's level 95 (a level 96 player), if it were me... well, what would I do?

How come I never noticed before that this old man has such a foul mouth?

"Grandpa Sword is guarding the house, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is also very important!"

Ning Rongrong covered her forehead, watching the two bickering with a sense of helplessness.

"Okay." Sword Douluo nodded.

"Fengzhi, Gutou, Rongrong is in your care. Don't go out and let Rongrong be bullied by those Heavenly Dou nobles."

"Hmph, bullying?" Bone Douluo said confidently, "With me and Feng Zhi here, we can go anywhere in Douluo Continent. I can even pluck the stars from the sky for Rongrong."

"I want a star, Grandpa Bones, give it to me now!"

The three of them were stunned the moment Ning Rongrong spoke.

"Rongrong, I..." Bone Douluo coughed a few times, and a slightly embarrassed blush appeared on his face.

"Pfft~" Sword Douluo burst into laughter, "Old Bones, I told you not to pretend, now you've been exposed!"

"Alright, stop fooling around." Ning Fengzhi smiled. "If we don't set off soon, we'll miss our deadline."

After bidding farewell to Sword Douluo, Ning Fengzhi, Ning Rongrong, and Bone Douluo set off.

The three rode in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's exclusive carriage, slowly heading towards the capital of the Heaven Dou Empire.

"Rongrong, why are you bringing that defensive soul bone?"

Inside the carriage, Ning Fengzhi looked at Ning Rongrong, who had barely spoken since the start of the journey, and couldn't help but ask her a question.

Ning Rongrong looked up, organized her thoughts, and said, "Perhaps it will come in handy. That defensive soul bone is actually quite suitable for the Swan Martial Soul."

"Isn't giving Xue Qinghe 30,000 soul bones as a gift for becoming his disciple too precious?" Bone Douluo frowned.

"No, it's just for emergencies, we might not even need it." Ning Rongrong thought for a moment and then voiced her thoughts.

"I plan to use this soul bone to exchange for a Title Douluo to join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."

When he finished speaking, the entire carriage fell silent.
