She was clever enough to think of that.
Lin Yi raised the red glowing orb in his hand and flicked it towards Miss Ning.
After the fusion reward, Chen Xin reminded, "Sect Master, why not try this reward?"
"Sure, but who should I attack?"
Chen Xin was about to suggest Senior Lin Yi but felt it would be somewhat disrespectful to Lin Yi. So, he turned to Gu Rong and said, "You, come here, let the Sect Master try out the reward."
You old scoundrel...
Gu Rong walked up with a grim face, feeling irritated at Chen Xin's smug look, as if he had scored a beauty.
"Bone Uncle, you better release your Martial Soul because if I direct the attack towards your Martial Soul, the overpowering force of the summoned ninth soul skill might hurt you, and I would feel guilty."
Bone Douluo's face turned red at these words, such a gentle Sect Master indeed. He immediately nodded, "Yes, Sect Master."
Gu Rong glared at Chen Xin again.
So no matter who attacks, the Sect Master has to be held, right? It must be that old man Chen Xin insisting on holding her, and the Sect Master is too polite to refuse.
Gu Rong released his Martial Soul, and the shiny silver Steel Fire Dragon formed in mid-air. At Gu Rong's command, the dragon stood still as if a model, waiting for Miss Ning's attack.
"Sect Master, start."
"Hmm."
Miss Ning lifted her right hand, palm facing towards the Steel Fire Dragon. Gu Rong moved away silently at that moment, as he was unsure what kind of skill the Sect Master would summon.
His Steel Fire Dragon might have formidable defensive powers, but that didn't mean he did.
The next moment, Miss Ning's pristine palm emitted a beam of light.
"Blue Silver Azure Dragon's Tenacity!"
In an instant, countless Blue Silver Vines secured the massive Steel Fire Dragon in place!
Under Gu Rong's control, the Steel Fire Dragon tried to break free, only to find it completely unable to move, its entire body motionless.
It was like a painting, entirely still.
Clearly, this was an extremely powerful control skill.
Gu Rong was shocked inside. He had silently tried to resist several times but still couldn't move an inch.
"This soul skill's control ability is really strong!"
Gu Rong couldn't help but exclaim in amazement to the Sect Master.
But Miss Ning frowned, "Bone Uncle, move out of the way quickly, this ninth soul skill is initiated by a hundred-thousand-year soul ring, and it has two skills!"
"What?!"
So even both skills of a hundred-thousand-year soul ring could be summoned?!
"Blue Silver Azure Dragon's Soul!"
Miss Ning shouted again.
At the same time, the sky changed color, and a loud dragon's roar sounded as a whirlpool of clouds surged in the sky with a huge azure-gray dragon emerging from within.
The dragon opened its maw and roared before attacking the Steel Fire Dragon, securely fixed on the ground!
"Bang!"
A loud noise echoed, and the Steel Fire Dragon's massive and heavy body was knocked to the ground. However, due to its extremely tough defense, it was not harmed.
Still, the huge pit created on the ground indirectly showed how forceful the attack was.
Gu Rong watched the scene before him with trepidation, thankful for the Sect Master's timely warning. If he had been the target of the two soul skills, he probably would have been dead by now. Thanks to the Steel Fire Dragon's thick skin and flesh, it withstood the blow.
"This... whose hundred-thousand-year ninth soul ring is this? It couldn't be someone from this era, could it?"
Gu Rong asked in surprise, looking at Miss Ning, as in his memory, ninth soul rings of a hundred-thousand years belonging to Titled Douluos were few and far between.
However, the pigtailed loli in Chen Xin's arms shook her head, "I don't know. I can only summon the soul skill and know its name and the age of the soul ring, but as to whose soul skill it is, I'm not sure."
Chen Xin looked at the marks on the ground, "It seems like a soul skill of the Blue Silver Grass Martial Soul."
"Blue Silver Grass? Can that Martial Soul be cultivated to level ninety?!"
Gu Rong said in amazement.
Ning Lolita nodded, "Of course, doesn't Tang San have such potential? But that kid is no good, actually stealing Senior Lin Yi's hidden weapon and claiming he developed it himself."
Lin Yi wanted to laugh.
He, of course, knew the script.
The ninth soul skill summoned was none other than Tang San's soul skill!
Damn, what a coincidence!
"This is indeed the ninth soul skill of the Blue Silver Grass, and its owner is not even in the current space-time,"
Lin Yi said, solving Gu Rong's confusion.
"I see."
At that moment, Ning Lolita checked her consumed soul power and found that indeed, only one-fifth had been used up. She placed her right hand on her shoulder and quickly replenished the depleted soul power.
Just perfect.
"Sect Master, the attack is over; let's go down."
"Uncle Jian, aren't you continuing the attack?"
"Let them come forward first. I'll go down and massage your feet to prevent the delay from making it worse."
Lin Yi watched the two of them somewhat numbly: "I asked Bi Ji to treat Sect Master Ning's injured ankle."
Goose Goose, being called out by Lin Yi, instinctively widened her eyes ⊙_⊙.
However, Chen Xin immediately turned his head back: "There's no need to bother the Emerald Swan senior, I can do it!"
Lin Yi: "..."
You'd better just give a simple massage!
And can you not be all lovey-dovey in front of me? Dammit, I'm going to puke out all the dog food I've eaten today on Poseissi tonight! Lin Yi sternly decided in his heart.
Gu Rong stood dumbfounded on the stage, watching his brother carry their Sect Master down...
Once downstairs, Chen Xin brought a stone over for Miss Ning to sit on, then kneeled on one knee, lifting the injured foot of Miss Ning.
Next, he began removing the cute shoe off of Miss Ning's foot, followed by the lacey white sock, and carefully cradled Miss Ning's delicate and fair foot in his palm for a closer inspection.
"If it's the ankle that's injured, why are you taking off her shoes?"
Emperor Xueye, unable to stand by quietly any longer, asked.
Lin Yi looked up, damn, I was just about to ask the same thing. Thanks for speaking out, Emperor Xueye.
Chen Xin turned his head, startled, and let out a gasp as he realized that everyone was staring at them.
I'm just helping the Sect Master with a foot massage, what are you looking at!
"It's inconvenient with the shoes on,"
Chen Xin said with an awkward expression.
Lin Yi glanced over—Miss Ning's feet really were nice-looking, small and white, with a rosy sole and a beautifully curved arch.
So, Chen Xin, please clarify, is it inconvenient to look at her foot or to massage it?
Lin Yi sarcastically remarked to himself, this old Bugger Chen Xin is really something.
He impatiently told Gu Rong, "Stop gawking, even if you keep looking, she's out of your league."
"Huh?"
Gu Rong turned his head back, completely baffled.
Lin Yi coughed and corrected himself: "Stop gawking, are you going to attack or not? If you're not attacking then get down here fast. Don't waste time."
"Attack! Attack!"
Finally, everyone's gaze shifted back in unison, chomping on popcorn was never going to be as attractive as Senior Lin Yi, after all. Senior Lin Yi is handsome, his rewards are fresh and exciting, he's generous, and he speaks well—oh wait, scratch that last part.
Gu Rong paused for a moment; although his martial soul hadn't shattered, it had been impacted just as well. Now, fully recovered, his whole body started to emit light.
Behind him, the Steel Fire Dragon was reforged in mid-air. The huge, lustrous silver body reflected the sun's rays, somewhat dazzling.
After the frame was constructed, the Steel Dragon's body's pores began expelling searing flames. These Infernal Netherfire flames, composed of both white and blue hues, made the giant fireballs in its eye sockets seem like two leaping balls of fire, sinister and terrifying.
With a solemn expression, Gu Rong looked towards Lin Yi's direction, just as he was preparing to launch an attack…
"Ah! Uncle Jian, that hurts~"
Suddenly, a delicate cry came from below, and Gu Rong's momentum that had just built up dispersed in an instant.
He turned back, completely dumbfounded.
You old charlatan, I was in the middle of an attack; can't you and the Sect Master show some respect!
