"Good," Xu Ran said, with the Slaughter Sword Intent crisscrossing over the "Godslayer Sword", pressing towards Sword Douluo.
And Sword Douluo, not to be outdone, condensed his Seven Kill Sword Intent to clash with it.
Boom!
The two powerful Sword Intents collided in mid-air, setting off a series of explosive sounds.
Sword Douluo closed his eyes, fully perceiving Xu Ran's Slaughter Sword Intent, and his Seven-Killing Sword also underwent a subtle transformation. Moments later, Sword Douluo's aura grew stronger, and the might of the Seven-Killing Sword also increased considerably, as he slashed towards Xu Ran.
"Extinguish."
Xu Ran uttered the word, his Sword Qi glowing like a rainbow, as he swung his sword towards Sword Douluo.
The sword light was twice as thick as Sword Douluo's, completely shattering his attack.
"Lord Xu Ran's strength far exceeds mine; he should be recognized as the world's number one swordsman. I, Chen Xin, am unworthy of such consideration," Sword Douluo said, sheathing his sword and looking at Xu Ran with eyes full of reverence.
Xu Ran's strength was far beyond his, and probably only contenders like Qian Dao Liu, level 99 Titled Douluos, would be able to spar with him. Moreover, he had a premonition that even Qian Dao Liu might not necessarily be a match for Xu Ran.
Moreover, Xu Ran is currently at the "Cultivation Level" of a Soul Emperor, with great potential and strength. Once his "Cultivation Level" reaches that of a Soul Sage, Soul Douluo, or even a Titled Douluo, he will be unrivaled under the heavens.
"Sword Douluo flatters me, it's just good fortune," Xu Ran replied. Sword Douluo's strength was indeed formidable, but alas, he had cheated—that ultimate cheat. Soul Land was destined to be dominated by him.
"Luck is also a manifestation of strength, and every Sword Intent of Lord Xu Ran can be called supreme. How could such feats be attributed to mere luck?" Sword Douluo stated deeply. His recent exchange with Xu Ran had already granted him what he sought.
Given some time, the Sword Intent he grasped would also evolve, lifting his strength to a new level.
"Very well, let us descend for now. In a few days, we'll delve deeper into the way of the sword," Xu Ran remarked, transforming into a streak of light and instantly arriving beside Ning Fengzhi.
"Impressive, Xu Ran. The outside world recounts tales of you as an unparalleled genius, with strength not yet formidable, but to think that our Seven Treasures Glaze Sect's guardian deity couldn't withstand even a single blow from you," Ning Fengzhi said with a deep look at Xu Ran.
Xu Ran is truly an exceptional freak of nature!
The others from the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect also gazed at Xu Ran with awe, having never expected that the legendary unparalleled genius had already reached this level, far outstripping his peers.
"Effective today, Xu Ran shall be the Protector Elder of our Seven Treasures Glaze Sect. He will be the third Guardian Spirit of our sect," Ning Fengzhi declared from the center of the plaza.
"Greetings, Protector Elder."
Upon hearing this, everyone knelt down in unison, excitedly looking at Ning Fengzhi and Xu Ran.
They hadn't anticipated that Xu Ran would become part of their Seven Treasures Glaze Sect, let alone a Guardian Spirit. With Xu Ran's strength, wouldn't their sect's power surge dramatically?
"Uncle, this isn't good," Xu Ran hesitated, not expecting Ning Fengzhi to make such a move. His deliberate arrangement for Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo to spar with him was probably to establish his prestige and authority.
"There's nothing wrong with it. You are powerful enough. Moreover, between you and Rongrong…" Ning Fengzhi revealed a meaningful smile. Having treated his beloved daughter in such a way, and she still hasn't gotten out of bed, if Xu Ran dared to decline...
```
"Hehe... Uncle, if the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect is ever in trouble, I, Xu Ran, will definitely lend a hand," Xu Ran said directly, his old face blushing. Being stared at by Ning Fengzhi like that made him feel a tad embarrassed too.
After all, his precious daughter is now his, so it's reasonable to get fleeced a little.
Right now, Rongrong is probably still lying in bed.
Such fervent enthusiasm sure had a unique flavor, but poor Rongrong, she hadn't had a moment's peace since yesterday.
"Uncle, I'll go check on Rongrong first," Xu Ran said, and went straight to Ning Rongrong's boudoir.
At this moment, Ning Rongrong was lying on her side, her lovely face scrunched up as if enduring some pain.
The scenes from yesterday flashed through her mind, her face flushed red, and only now did she understand what Xu Ran meant by "knowing all the ropes."
Xu Ran is really too bad, always thinking about those naughty things.
But fortunately, she hadn't eaten anything too embarrassing these past few days, and she had always kept very clean. Otherwise, she would have died of shame.
"Stinky Xu Ran, just die; you're still not back yet, you don't even care about me," Ning Rongrong pouted, still feeling a bit of pain. Her little face was all wrinkled up, full of complaints against Xu Ran.
"What's wrong with my dear Rongrong? Why are you complaining about your husband now?" Xu Ran walked in from outside the room, seeing Ning Rongrong's aggrieved face, he couldn't help but chuckle. But remembering her performance yesterday, his heart ached a bit. It was Rongrong's first time, after all, and the road was long, he couldn't help it.
"Hmph, you know very well the bad things you've done," Ning Rongrong pursed her lips, turned her head away, refusing to look at Xu Ran.
"But didn't my dear Rongrong agree to it?" Xu Ran said as he closed the door, shedding his black robe, lying behind Ning Rongrong, and wrapping his arms around her slender waist.
"It's because you like being naughty, and since I'm your fiancée, I have to agree with whatever you want, right?" Ning Rongrong said with a bit of grievance, her big eyes beginning to well up with tears. What if Xu Ran wasn't happy when she didn't agree?
"Alright, alright, it's all my fault. Next time I'll try to restrain myself and won't hurt my dear Rongrong," Xu Ran spoke gently, holding Ning Rongrong in his arms.
"Does it still hurt?" Xu Ran asked, his hand reaching out, wanting to see how it really was.
A chrysanthemum infection would be troublesome. Although the possibility was very slim, he couldn't just let it be. She was his wife, after all; he had to take it seriously.
"Don't, Stinky Xu Ran, don't touch me," Ning Rongrong blushed, feeling that things were looking bleak down there, and grabbed Xu Ran's hand. She didn't want Xu Ran touching her. Xu Ran was so bad, and it was still daylight.
"I'm just showing concern for you," Xu Ran said. At this point, what kind of person did she think he was? Even if he wanted to, he wouldn't hurt her.
Xu Ran's fingertips touched the spot, and a surge of life force streamed from his fingertips towards Ning Rongrong's body, cleansing all her injuries and negative effects away.
In just an instant, Ning Rongrong was as good as new.
"It was only open to the extent of one finger; no wonder it hurt so much yesterday," Xu Ran murmured softly.
Meanwhile, Ning Rongrong grabbed a pillow and covered her entire blushing face with it, already too embarrassed for words.
