Chapter 291: Chapter 291: Chen Xin’s Test – Susanoo Appears, Everyone is Stunned!

With Su Ming's remarkable talent, strength, and appearance, his bold declaration was irresistible, especially to a girl who already admired him.

Su Ming asked, "Uncle Ning, what else would you like to ask?"

Ning Fengzhi replied, "I heard from Uncle Gu that you have a very powerful defensive spirit ability, the one you used when you were attacked by the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."

"I've been told that this defensive ability is extraordinary and can block attacks even below the level of a Title Douluo. Is that true?"

Su Ming was a bit surprised but nodded. "Yes, that's true. Would you like me to demonstrate it, Uncle Ning?"

This gave Chen Xin the opportunity he had been waiting for. He interjected, "Kid, if you can withstand a single strike from me, a Title Douluo, then I'll believe your bold claims. After all, anyone can talk big. You need to show us that you have the strength to back it up!"

Before Ning Rongrong could say anything, Su Ming spoke up. "Sword Grandpa, if I manage to withstand your attack, does that mean you'll accept me?"

Chen Xin was taken aback by Su Ming's confidence. After all, Chen Xin was a Level 96 Title Douluo. Even a first or second spirit ability from him carried the power of a Title Douluo. Was Su Ming really that confident? However, Chen Xin liked his attitude. He admired someone who wasn't afraid, so he agreed. "Yes! If you can block my attack, I'll accept you!"

Chen Xin added, "Let me be clear—this isn't personal. First, I'm genuinely interested in your defensive ability, and second, I'm Rongrong's grandfather. Seeing that you have more than just her in your life annoys me, and I need to vent a little."

Su Ming smiled and nodded, showing that he understood. This was exactly why he wasn't angry. Chen Xin wasn't acting out of malice but simply wanted to protect his granddaughter and assert some authority. However, Su Ming had no intention of backing down.

"Alright, Sword Grandpa, I accept your challenge! But remember, you promised to stand by your word if I succeed."

Turning to Ning Rongrong, Su Ming spoke gently, "Rongrong, don't worry. You know me well—I never do anything unless I'm sure I can handle it. This is just a friendly spar."

Although she was still worried, Ning Rongrong stepped aside, knowing that Su Ming wouldn't have agreed if he didn't think he could handle it.

Su Ming was confident that he could block Chen Xin's attack, as long as the latter didn't use his most powerful techniques. Even if he did, Su Ming believed he could still manage, thanks to the spiritual power boost he had received from the Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot. He was only a step away from reaching the vast realm of spiritual power—or so he thought.

In the center of the grand hall, Ning Fengzhi, Gu Rong, and Chen Xin stood aside, giving Su Ming and Chen Xin enough space for their confrontation.

Facing Chen Xin, Su Ming didn't hold back. His eyes snapped open, revealing the Eternal Mangekyō Sharingan. The sudden transformation shocked both Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin—Su Ming's eyes had changed, and they radiated an unusual and intimidating power.

Chen Xin, standing directly across from Su Ming, felt an intense pressure emanating from those eerie red eyes. Despite Su Ming only being a Spirit Elder, Chen Xin, a Title Douluo, could clearly feel the pressure.

Then, before their eyes, a massive blue figure appeared around Su Ming, forming a giant humanoid shape wielding twin swords.

The twin blades were part of Su Ming's Susanoo, which he preferred to the more awkward hand-held shuriken. After all, it was easier to defend with swords than with shuriken.

As the towering figure of Susanoo materialized, the pressure it exerted became palpable. Even Gu Rong, who had seen Susanoo before, was taken aback by the sheer size and power of it. Last time, Susanoo didn't have the twin swords, nor was it this massive.

"Come on, Sword Grandpa! Let me show you the defensive power of my Susanoo!" Su Ming declared confidently.

Chen Xin nodded, silently impressed. So, this giant blue figure was called Susanoo, he mused. Not wanting to be too harsh, especially with Rongrong watching, he decided to hold back a bit.

Summoning his Seven Kill Sword, Chen Xin's first spirit ring began to glow. "First spirit ability: Sword Edge Strike!"

This was Chen Xin's weakest spirit ability, enhancing his sword's attack power by 30% and infusing it with sword energy.

Even though he held back, the sword energy was still at the level of a Title Douluo. Su Ming watched as the energy surged toward him. He crossed Susanoo's twin blades in front of him and braced for impact.

The sword energy collided with Susanoo, but Su Ming easily blocked the attack. Susanoo stood firm, its twin blades holding the sword energy at bay without any sign of strain.

Chen Xin stared in disbelief. His attack had been effortlessly deflected. This massive blue figure, this Susanoo, had taken the blow without the slightest damage. It was almost incomprehensible.

At that moment, Su Ming's voice broke the silence. "Thank you, Sword Grandpa, for holding back."

As the junior, Su Ming's words were meant to be respectful, acknowledging Chen Xin's restraint and allowing him to save face.

Chen Xin shook his head, knowing that Su Ming was being polite. Although he had indeed held back, he was still a Title Douluo. Attacking Su Ming with even a fraction of his strength was already a bit unfair. Had he gone all out, it would have been overkill. With a sigh, Chen Xin admitted, "That ability of yours is truly something remarkable. Now I understand where your confidence comes from. As promised, I won't oppose you and Rongrong being together."

With that, Chen Xin withdrew his spirit, feeling relieved. Though the outcome was different from what he had expected, seeing Su Ming's true strength had dispelled any lingering doubts. He now felt assured that Ning Rongrong wouldn't suffer if she stayed by Su Ming's side.

As soon as the spar ended, Ning Rongrong rushed over to Su Ming, checking him over anxiously. "Su Ming-gege, are you hurt? Sword Grandpa really used a Title Douluo-level attack. What if…"

Su Ming chuckled and patted her head. "I'm fine, Rongrong. See? Not a scratch. I knew I could handle it. And now, your family has given us their blessing!"


Chapter 292: Chapter 292: Decisions Made, Land Acquired, Ning Fengzhi's Thoughts

Ning Rongrong blushed, her face full of joy, as she turned to Ning Fengzhi and the two elders. "Father, Sword Grandpa, Bone Grandpa, since you've agreed, you can't go back on your word now!"

The three exchanged glances and smiled helplessly. They hadn't realized before how protective Rongrong could be, even though she had only just officially confirmed her relationship with Su Ming.

What they didn't know was that the relationship between Su Ming and Ning Rongrong had been a gradual process. By the time they confirmed their relationship, it was only a formality.

Ning Fengzhi chuckled, "Alright, we've seen firsthand that Su Ming has the strength to back up his words, so we won't oppose you two being together. As long as you, Rongrong, don't feel wronged, that's all that matters."

He then turned to Su Ming, his tone becoming serious. "Su Ming, if you can truly help Rongrong reach the rank of Title Douluo in her twenties, then the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan will fully support you."

Hearing this, Ning Rongrong pouted. "Father, what do you mean by that? Since Su Ming is with me, you're my shield, and naturally, his as well!"

Ning Fengzhi shook his head with a smile. "You silly child, of course, if Su Ming is ever in danger, we'll help him. But supporting him fully is different from just helping."

Ning Rongrong couldn't quite grasp the difference, thinking that her father and the two elders were already the clan's greatest assets. If something happened, who else could really help Su Ming? She decided not to dwell on it.

Su Ming, however, understood Ning Fengzhi's words well. He made a mental note—this could come in handy in the future. With Rongrong's talent, enhanced by the effects of the immortal herb, and if she were to acquire a full set of spirit bones, achieving the rank of Title Douluo in her twenties wouldn't be too difficult.

Seeing that her relationship with Su Ming had been solidified, Ning Rongrong finally brought up her other request. "Father, doesn't our clan own several pieces of unused land? Could I have one?"

Ning Fengzhi chuckled. "Of course, you can have whichever one you like. But why do you need land all of a sudden?"

At this point, Su Ming stepped forward. "Actually, Uncle Ning, it's for me."

Su Ming briefly explained the situation, blending truth and fiction so it wouldn't raise suspicion.

Ning Fengzhi considered Su Ming's explanation. Su Ming had taken his grandfather and the villagers from Saint Spirit Village to Heaven Dou City, fearing that Tang Hao might retaliate against them for Tang San's sake. All they needed now was land to resettle the village.

Ning Fengzhi didn't believe Tang Hao would make a big deal out of it. After all, he would only be providing land, and if Tang Hao really wanted to start trouble over it, Ning Fengzhi wasn't afraid to retaliate.

Besides, given Su Ming's close relationship with the clan, it would be unreasonable not to help him.

"In that case, I'll pick a suitable plot for you. There's a nice piece of land just outside the city that belongs to our clan. You can settle the people from Saint Spirit Village there."

"It's close to the city, so it'll be convenient for everyone. I'll also station some of our skilled scouts nearby. If there's any trouble, they'll handle it, or notify you and me if it's too much for them. How does that sound?"

Su Ming thought about it and agreed. Having scouts watching over the village was a good idea, especially since Heaven Dou City was full of nobles. If any villagers accidentally offended one, Su Ming would be informed right away. While there were pros and cons to the arrangement, the benefits outweighed the drawbacks.

Ning Fengzhi continued, "Since Rongrong has come home and you two have officially confirmed your relationship, we must have a proper family dinner. Stay with us for the night, and tomorrow, I'll have Bone Grandpa take you to see the land."

During the family dinner, Ning Fengzhi inquired about Ning Rongrong's fourth spirit ring. They eventually decided that her fourth ability should be one that boosts defense—a solid, well-rounded choice.

After dinner, Ning Fengzhi arranged a room for Su Ming right next to Ning Rongrong's. Whether this was intentional or not remained a mystery.

After making the arrangements, Ning Fengzhi led them to their rooms and left, giving the young couple some space. After all, they had just gotten together, and he knew they would want to spend time alone.

As they walked away, Sword Douluo Chen Xin couldn't help but voice his concerns. "Fengzhi, are you sure this is a good idea? Aren't you worried they might… lose control and do something? They've only just started dating."

Ning Fengzhi shook his head. "We've already agreed to their relationship, so we can't interfere too much. Let things happen naturally. Besides, I trust that Su Ming isn't the irresponsible type."

"Don't be fooled by his respectful attitude toward us—that's mainly for Rongrong's sake. Su Ming is actually very proud and has his own strong opinions. If we try to block their natural progression, someone else might take advantage of the situation."

"Remember, Rongrong isn't the only girl around Su Ming. There's also that beautiful girl from the Zhu family in Star Luo Empire. Don't underestimate her. She may seem cold, but if Su Ming helps her escape her fate, she might fall for him too."

Hearing Ning Fengzhi's reasoning, both Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo were reluctantly convinced. They understood, though they still felt a bit uneasy. Hopefully, they hadn't misjudged Su Ming.

Meanwhile, Su Ming had no intention of going to the room Ning Fengzhi had prepared for him. Instead, Ning Rongrong pulled him into her room, saying she wanted him to take a look around.

Su Ming didn't hesitate. He was curious about what a room in a noble house looked like, though it was unclear if he had other thoughts in mind. Regardless, both of them seemed to be hiding their true intentions.
