Chapter 169: Ning Bei vs Bone Douluo
Upon seeing Chen Xin's actions, Gu Rong's expression darkened instantly.
The 98th-level old swordsman has already been beaten, and I will probably face the same result.
Cough, "Bei'er, let's just make sure to call it a draw in the end!"
Ning Bei smiled and nodded in agreement with Gu Rong's suggestion.
Chen Xin sneered at Gu Rong. "What a joke, don't you have any pride left as a Title Douluo?"
Gu Rong didn't care to look at the old swordsman's expression and stood firmly in the center of the plaza.
"Come, Bei'er!"
Ning Bei wasn't planning to go easy. Using Chen Xin as a sharpening stone had already made him take his current strength seriously.
Moreover, Ning Fengzhi had been giving him intense eye signals.
Though it was meant to be a light spar, Gu Rong didn't dare slack off and immediately summoned his martial soul's true form.
"Seventh Soul Skill—Bone Transformation Divine Dragon!"
A massive bone dragon appeared above Ning Bei's head. Seeing this, Ning Bei also didn't hesitate, summoning his Ice Snow Goddess martial soul.
"Grandpa Bone, I have two moves that I haven't tested the power of. I'll use these two!"
"Alright, show me. I'll let you witness the world's greatest defensive martial soul."
Ning Bei nodded without worrying about the old man not being able to handle it. After all, he had the life-saving pills just in case.
Then, Ning Bei communicated with the bones in his body, activating the torso bone and the left leg bone. Soft white and emerald green glows flickered.
"Pride of the Ice and Snow Emperors!"
The combined power of the Ice and Snow Emperors formed a massive blizzard whirlwind, merging white and green, and it rushed toward the bone dragon in the sky.
Old Bone's pupils contracted sharply. "Damn, you really do think highly of me!"
"Fifth Soul Skill—Bone Dragon Phantom. Second Soul Skill—Bone Dragon Armor."
A second enormous undead bone dragon appeared in front of Old Bone, and both bone dragons were covered in thick armor.
After releasing two layers of defense, the blizzard whirlwind collided with them.
The sound of cracking bones echoed throughout the Ice God Palace.
Ning Fengzhi stared in bewilderment at his son. Did my eye signals just go to waste? Are you playing with bones now?
Facing the two bone dragons being torn apart by the blizzard whirlwind, the dragons began to shake and fall apart.
Seeing the exaggerated power of his move, Ning Bei quickly reduced his soul power output. Only then did Old Bone manage to hold on.
As the storm dissipated, Old Bone's martial soul true form was revealed. The armor from the second soul skill was now in pieces, but luckily, no real harm was done to the old man.
After taking a beating, Gu Rong felt embarrassed. Thinking back on Chen Xin and Ning Bei's battle, there had at least been some back-and-forth. He needed to regain some face.
"Bei'er, that was impressive. Now, it's my turn. Eighth Soul Skill—Gate of Space."
Ning Bei hadn't expected the old man to become so competitive. He calmly activated the Eternal Frost Domain, knowing that Old Bone's eighth soul skill was related to space.
A circle of ice-blue domain slowly spread outwards, and the bone dragon in the sky instantly disappeared.
The next second, Ning Bei felt a spatial fluctuation behind him and smiled slightly.
"Grandpa Bone, found you."
He focused his domain on the space behind him, and the bone dragon, which was about to break through the space, was shocked to realize it couldn't tear open the space again.
Ning Bei immediately jumped several hundred meters away, releasing the ice to unfreeze the space, as this technique consumed too much, and he couldn't maintain it for long.
The bone dragon's figure reappeared.
"What is going on?"
"Grandpa Bone, my domain can freeze time and space. I just froze the place you came out of."
"This…"
After hearing Ning Bei's explanation, both Chen Xin and Ning Fengzhi clicked their tongues in surprise. What's the point of fighting now? The eighth soul skill was useless.
Seeing that Old Bone was still stunned, Ning Bei couldn't help but smile mischievously.
"Grandpa Bone, now it's my turn. This is the last move!"
With that, the fifth red soul ring on his Ice Snow Goddess martial soul shone brightly.
The Snow Goddess behind him raised both hands in a bottle-holding gesture, mirroring Ning Bei's movements in front.
"Fifth Soul Skill—Dawn Goddess' Forgiveness!"
As the words fell, Ning Bei and the Snow Goddess brought their hands down simultaneously, releasing a terrifying beam of extreme cold light.
If Gu Rong and the others weren't mistaken, they saw the surrounding space freeze where the beam passed.
Old Bone trembled at the sight, his eyes more serious than ever. He didn't dare slack off and immediately activated his second and fifth soul skills to enhance his defenses before releasing his ninth soul skill.
"Ninth Soul Skill—Heavenly Bone Divine Dragon Wave!"
The purple beam and ice-blue beam collided in midair and were instantly crushed. The ice-blue light didn't lose any momentum and slammed into the two bone dragons.
The sound of freezing filled their ears.
Moments later, two massive bone dragons appeared in midair as ice sculptures.
They were magnificent, like works of art.
Chen Xin and Ning Fengzhi stood there, mouths agape, unable to speak for a while.
Seeing that Old Bone couldn't escape, Ning Bei quickly flew to the ice sculptures and touched them.
A moment later, Old Bone's figure was freed from the ice sculpture, exiting his martial soul true form and shivering.
"Bei'er, you won. You really have no respect for the elderly or the young!"
Ning Bei hurriedly gave him a recovery pill, and Old Bone took it without hesitation.
Feeling his body and internal injuries slowly recovering, Old Bone exhaled a long breath of cold air.
"Haha, Grandpa Bone, I couldn't resist, just got a little too excited!"
The three of them glared at Ning Bei, who was clearly taking revenge for the old men constantly pulling him by the back of his neck when he was young. It was definitely that!
After finishing the battle with Old Bone, the familiar cold voice sounded in Ning Bei's mind.
"Ice God Fourth Trial: The trial of strong individuals, defeated the 97-level Title Douluo Gu Rong. Current completion: 2/6."
Upon hearing this wonderful prompt, Ning Bei grinned and shared the good news with the three in front of him.
After hearing Ning Bei's words, the three smiled.
Chen Xin waved at Gu Rong, signaling that it was now his turn.
