Douluo's Soul Power increases by two levels every year

Chapter 108 You owe me one blow, that's all.

Since Ning Rongrong returned to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Ning Fengzhi and the others have not allowed her to return to Shrek Academy. It's not that they don't want her to return, but firstly, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is of great importance and involves a lot of people, so Ning Fengzhi has many things to arrange. Secondly, Ning Rongrong has been away from home for more than half a year, and Chen Xin and Gu Rong, who have always doted on Ning Rongrong, are naturally reluctant to let her go.

So Ning Fengzhi made a three-point agreement with Ning Rongrong: as long as Ning Rongrong broke through level 40, she could return to Shrek Academy.

In order to return before Valentine's Day, which comes only once every seven years, Ning Rongrong put in a lot of effort to cultivate, but she was still a few days late, and it wasn't until the third day of Valentine's Day that she broke through to the Soul Master level.

After breaking through to the Soul Master level, Ning Rongrong only had time to say goodbye to Ning Fengzhi before rushing back to the academy.

Even a fool could guess that this Valentine's Day, there will definitely be a lot of sluts waiting to give Han Feng candy!

But who knew that as soon as Ning Rongrong returned to the academy, she saw a fire giant that looked exactly like Han Feng's third soul skill being shattered by her own bone grandfather!

Without a second thought, Ning Rongrong rushed towards the fire giant!

As Ning Rongrong approached Han Feng's dormitory, she saw him struggling against the ancient banyan tree's bone dragon, supporting himself with an unparalleled, immovable flame. Before she could even react, Ning Rongrong shouted, "What are you doing?!"

Ning Rongrong's voice had an effect; both Han Feng and Gu Rong paused in their actions. Gu Rong, being particularly decisive, immediately withdrew his martial spirit, giving Ning Rongrong no time to gather evidence!

Han Feng's Blazing Shield also veered off course and did not land on Gu Rong.

Seeing that Han Feng was unharmed, Ning Rongrong breathed a sigh of relief. She quickly ran to Han Feng's side, looked him up and down with concern, and then complained to Gu Rong, "Grandpa Gu!"

Where was the ancient banyan tree now, with not a trace of its former arrogance?

"Rongrong! Let me explain!" Gu Rong's tone softened, and his tall, thin body hunched over, now level with Ning Rongrong, as he pleaded, "The Sect Master just sent me to Shrek Academy on some business! I really just happened to be passing by! Rongrong, you have to believe me! When have I ever lied to you all these years?"

Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong merely glared at Gu Rong, who then fell silent.

Ning Rongrong quickly said to Han Feng, "Han Feng! I'm sorry! Grandpa Gu didn't mean to humiliate you! He just... he just..."

Seeing Ning Rongrong's nervous expression, as if she was afraid Han Feng would get angry, Gu Rong grimaced and muttered repeatedly, "Lucky kid!"

Upon hearing Ning Rongrong's words, Han Feng was unsure how to feel. He simply pressed down on Ning Rongrong's shoulder and said evasively, "I know Senior Gu didn't mean it that way. We were just sparring!"

As soon as Han Feng opened his mouth, Ning Rongrong saw the scarlet blood on his lips. Although it had faded a lot, it was still glaring!

"Are you injured?" Ning Rongrong asked worriedly.

Han Feng was taken aback, not expecting Ning Rongrong to ask this. For a moment, he didn't know how to answer, so he simply walked past Ning Rongrong to Gu Rong, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and said, "Thank you for your guidance, Senior Gu! I am deeply grateful to receive instruction from Senior Gu, who is known as the master of the world's best defense!"

With his keen eyesight, Gu Rong immediately saw the resentment in Han Feng's heart and sneered, "You resent me? You think I'm bullying the weak?"

Han Feng simply lowered his head, concealing his expression from Gu Rong, and said in a deep voice, "I wouldn't dare!"

"Dare not!? Is it that you dare not, or that you dare not say it!?" Gu Rong sneered, mercilessly exposing Han Feng's lie.

"Grandpa Bone!" Ning Rongrong shouted as Gu Rong pressed closer, her brows furrowed with anger.

This time, however, Gu Rong, who always indulged Ning Rongrong, ignored her and instead froze her in place, silently staring at Han Feng despite her angry glare.

Seeing that Han Feng remained silent, Gu Rong chuckled: "I know you're a hothead, and you may not understand the current situation, you may not understand why Rongrong is protecting you, and you may not understand why I'm showing mercy when I wanted to teach you a lesson."

At this point, Gu Rong fell silent for a moment, seemingly considering how to phrase his words. After a long pause, he finally spoke, "Since you don't understand, then think of it this way!"

"Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has raised our little princess for twelve years, and we wouldn't even dare to say a harsh word to her. Yet you, brat, made our little princess cry with just a few words. Is that what you expect us to think?"

"Because you saved her?" Gu Rong retorted, then sneered, "Back then, you didn't know Rongrong's identity, you didn't know she had secret guards protecting her. Honestly, did you ever really intend to save her? You just didn't want to see anyone die! Even when those three bandits kidnapped Rongrong that day, you just treated her as a pretty face with no substance and did nothing about it!"

"Even if we take a step back and say that's the case, anyone with eyes can see how Rongrong treated you after that. Even if you're blind, you should be able to sense it. But what about your relationship with Rongrong?!"

Han Feng remained silent.

Gu Rong knew that this stubborn young man wouldn't be so easily persuaded, so he sighed and said, "I know you're quick-witted, and if it weren't for the pressure from me, you'd have a thousand reasons to refute me right now. But just know that one day in the future, you will understand me!"

"No!" Gu Rong had already made her point so bluntly, so Han Feng stopped being silent and directly retorted.

Gu Rong was taken aback, frowned, and looked at Han Feng with a puzzled expression.

Han Feng stopped bowing and clasping his hands, raised his head, looked directly at Gu Rong, and said neither humbly nor arrogantly, "Don't try to intimidate me with the future! Even if my future self can understand, my present self cannot!"

After Han Feng finished speaking, anger flashed in Gu Rong's eyes, but Han Feng didn't give him a chance to retaliate, continuing, "I will give Rongrong an explanation for what happened to Rongrong! I will also demand an explanation from Senior Gu regarding what happened to him!"

Upon hearing this, Gu Rong's anger subsided, replaced by confusion: "Rongrong's matter and my matter are one and the same!"

"It's different!" Han Feng retorted firmly, "To me, these are two separate matters! Rongrong and you cannot be treated the same! You have no right to seek justice for Rongrong, and you cannot represent Rongrong!"

Gu Rong's eyes narrowed instantly!

"Good lad!" Gu Rong said cryptically, speaking slowly, as if he had been frightened by Han Feng.

"So, according to you, I'm now officially your sworn enemy!" Gu Rong narrowed his eyes and said slowly.

Han Feng's eyes flashed, but he chose to remain silent, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

Seeing Han Feng remain silent again, Gu Rong suddenly burst into laughter: "Hahaha! That old bastard Chen Xin will definitely like you, kid! It's a pity that old bastard didn't come with me, otherwise he might even take you as his disciple! Wait... I forgot, you're not a swordsman! But this temperament is even worse than that stubborn and arrogant Sword Douluo!"

"Young man! I'll take on this challenge!" Gu Rong said to Han Feng with a smile, his eyes full of admiration!

Han Feng remained silent throughout, neither nodding nor shaking his head.

Gu Rong didn't need Han Feng to speak. Instead, he summoned the Bone Dragon, took out a simple bead from its body, and tossed it to Han Feng, saying, "In the previous contest, neither you nor I were able to completely defeat the other. According to the rules, I have lost. This bead is the prize!"

Han Feng accepted the bead, but before he could refuse, Gu Rong lazily said, "I'm afraid Rongrong doesn't want to see me right now, so I won't get in her way. I haven't done the things the sect leader instructed me to do yet!"

Having said that, Gu Rong casually pulled out a doorway, plunged into it, and disappeared.

As the ancient banyan tree disappeared, the restraints on Ning Rongrong also vanished. Now free, Ning Rongrong didn't speak rashly. Instead, she cautiously glanced at Han Feng for a while before finally asking, "Han Feng... are you alright?"

"fine..."

Han Feng gently shook his head and said slowly.

"Actually, you don't need to worry about it. Grandpa Gu doesn't know the specifics, so he misunderstood. As long as I explain it to Grandpa Gu, everything will be fine. Han Feng, you don't need to take it to heart. What Grandpa Gu said about the grudge was just a joke!" Seeing that Han Feng's face was a little downcast, Ning Rongrong quickly comforted him.

Upon hearing this, Han Feng turned to look at Ning Rongrong. The worry and tension on Ning Rongrong's face were clearly visible, and her usual charming smile had disappeared.

Seeing this, Han Feng hesitated for a moment, then patted Ning Rongrong's head and said softly, "It must be difficult being caught in the middle, right?"

Han Feng's words brought tears to Ning Rongrong's eyes, and the tears she had been holding back almost burst forth!

She was genuinely afraid that Han Feng and Gu Rong would become enemies because of this!

"Don't be afraid! This has nothing to do with you, and Senior Gu and I are not enemies as you think! I'm just a lowly three-ring Soul Master! We just can't agree on a point of view. Senior Gu thinks he's right, and I don't think I'm wrong either..." Han Feng said calmly.

"Then why?" Ning Rongrong asked nervously.

Han Feng's eyes flickered as he gazed intently at the two large trees he had broken, and he slowly said, "I have no grudge against Senior Gu, except... Senior Gu owes me a blow, that's all!"

Hearing Han Feng say that, Ning Rongrong immediately breathed a sigh of relief!

Based on Ning Rongrong's understanding of Han Feng, she naturally knew that Han Feng still harbored some resentment towards Gu Rong, but this was understandable as long as it wasn't hatred!
