Some words were originally thought in the heart, not intended to be spoken, but people always inadvertently reveal their true feelings.
The term "brother-in-law" immediately enraged the two.
Basically, people with sisters don't like being called "uncle" by their brother-in-law, as this title reminds them that their sister or sister is already someone else's woman.
There is an inherent antagonistic relationship between brother-in-law and sister's husband.
The young man in blue is Ning Huahua, Ning Rongrong's older brother. Ning Rongrong actually has many brothers, but she is her only sister.
So, unsurprisingly, the sister is naturally pampered.
Ning Huahua is the most outstanding of Ning Rongrong's many brothers, and is considered the future young sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
His martial soul is the Six Treasure Exquisite Pagoda, one level lower than Ning Rongrong's.
The martial soul inheritance of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is actually the Glazed Tile Pagoda, and the quality of the martial soul is generally judged by the number of layers of the Glazed Tile Pagoda.
Ning Rongrong is the only one of the younger generation with a seven-layered Glazed Tile Pagoda.
This is why she was so pampered.
Legend has it that there was once a martial soul with a nine-layered glazed pagoda, but it's just a legend.
The reason Ning Fengzhi had so many children was because he couldn't produce an offspring with a seven-layered glazed pagoda martial soul, and he wanted to achieve this through mass reproduction.
Until Ning Rongrong was born, finally possessing a seven- layered glazed pagoda martial soul, Ning Fengzhi could no longer afford to have more children.
However, Ning Rongrong was a girl and would eventually have to marry out, and among his many sons, only Ning Huahua was outstanding, possessing a six-layered glazed pagoda.
This was Ning Fengzhi's unspeakable regret; if he were to pass the position to Ning Huahua in the future, it would mean the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would have to become the Six Treasure Glazed Tile School.
The young man in white was Gu Tianlong, the grandson of Bone Douluo Gu Rong.
Gu Tianlong was the most outstanding soul master among the youth of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and if nothing unexpected happened, he would inherit Bone Douluo's position.
He had watched Ning Rongrong grow up since childhood and had long harbored feelings for her.
Ning Fengzhi and the other elders actually intended to arrange for them to be together, but unfortunately, Ning Rongrong only saw him as a brother and had no romantic feelings for him.
"How dare you defile Rongrong!" Gu Tianlong pointed at Ma Hongjun and roared.
He had long considered Ning Rongrong his own, and not long ago, he learned from his grandfather that there was a young man named Ma Hongjun who could achieve a martial soul fusion with Ning Rongrong.
He remembered this name and considered him his biggest rival in love.
Ma Hongjun really wanted to roll his eyes at him. This was defilement! If he knew that Rongrong had already been sexually assaulted by him two months ago, he would probably die of anger on the spot.
"Rongrong is my woman, how can this be defilement?"
"What did you say,
Ma Hongjun?
I challenge you!"
Gu Tianlong said, pausing between each sentence.
"I accept your challenge, come on!" Ma Hongjun readily agreed.
For such a rival in love, he had to put an end to his thoughts. It was also a way of helping him find a better match and stop thinking about his Rongrong. There was no hope.
Fortunately, in this world, strength was paramount. He could just beat him into submission, simple and straightforward.
Gu Tianlong was impatient and prepared to start the fight at the castle gate.
He summoned his Martial Soul, a colossal bone dragon.
His Soul Rings, unsurprisingly, were a perfect yellow-purple combination.
"Gu Tianlong, Martial Soul: Bone Dragon, Level 48 Defensive Battle Soul Master."
After bowing, Gu Tianlong lit up his Soul Rings, ready to fight.
Ma Hongjun called out,
"Wait!"
"What, are you going to admit defeat? If you do, you don't deserve to see Rongrong."
Gu Tianlong smiled smugly. With his level 48 strength, he didn't believe Ma Hongjun could defeat him. Although he had heard how talented Ma Hongjun was, he was still so much younger than him.
"You misunderstood. I meant to tell you to call me your brother-in-law and come at me together!"
"What do you mean? Do you think I need Hua Hua to defeat you?"
Gu Tianlong was stunned. Even Ning Hua Hua, standing beside him, looked at Ma Hongjun strangely.
Gu Tianlong and Ning Hua Hua were battle partners, just like Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, each always having one of them by Ning Fengzhi's side. Gu Tianlong was the same.
Ma Hongjun shook his head and said,
"No, you've misunderstood again. It's not about defeating me, but rather that with him,
you
wouldn't have lost so badly."
Gu Tianlong was speechless with anger, while Ning Huahua coldly said,
"Truly arrogant!"
"Ma Hongjun, you should defeat me first. Asking Huahua to make a move is incredibly presumptuous."
Ma Hongjun sighed and stopped speaking. He summoned his martial spirit and said calmly,
"Ma Hongjun, martial spirit: Silver Spear, Level 46 Weapon Spirit Master."
The yellow, purple, and black colors dazzled their eyes once more.
Sword Douluo had only told Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo about Ma Hongjun, so the younger generation like Gu Tianlong didn't know the real situation.
Gu Tianlong swallowed hard, still not letting Ning Huahua join. Although he felt a little guilty, he still trusted his Bone Dragon Martial Soul.
The Bone Dragon Martial Soul was very strong, known as the number one defensive Martial Soul in Douluo Continent,
and its attack methods were also very strange. Although it was known for its defense, it wasn't that it was weak in other aspects.
In fact, it was just that its defensive ability was too outstanding; its attack and control were also very strong.
At this time, quite a few people had gathered. This was the entrance, and there were many people coming and going. Gu Tianlong and Ning Huahua were young masters known to everyone in the castle.
Gu Tianlong lit up his first spirit ring.
"Bone Transformation!"
His body began to change, and a layer of iron bones covered his exterior, quickly turning him into a skeleton.
This skill greatly increased his defensive ability; he wouldn't feel pain fighting a skeleton.
His bone claws swung out, and a skull head appeared on his head, its empty eyes staring directly at Ma Hongjun.
Ma Hongjun also activated his first spirit ring, accelerating as the spear tip clashed with the bone claw.
Clang, clang, clang…
Though called bone, it was harder than iron. Ma Hongjun's Dragon Soul Spear had been tempered by ice and fire, its spirit form restored to a certain level, making its attack power arguably the strongest spirit in the Douluo Continent.
It was like a clash of spear and shield, the first attack, the first defense.
The dragon's head rose, the Ancient Heavenly Dragon's second spirit ring ignited, and two streams of black energy shot towards Ma Hongjun from the bone dragon's empty eyes.
The best approach to an unknown spirit skill is to dodge first. Ma Hongjun used the Phoenix Playing with a Hundred Birds technique to create distance.
However, the black energy, formless and intangible, rushed into Ma Hongjun's mind.
Ma Hongjun immediately felt a sharp pain and dizziness, followed by images of skeletal remains filling his mind.
This spirit skill was somewhat similar to Xiao Wu's second spirit skill, Charm.
The attack was indeed bizarre.
This was where the rational decision to create distance came into play, giving Ma Hongjun ample time to react.
The dizziness was brief, but the image of the skeletal remains haunted his mind, threatening to plunge Ma Hongjun into endless fear.
This was a test of his mental fortitude, but thankfully, he had the special training Grandmaster had given him at the Silves Grand Arena.
That bloody training with the Killing God Team had given Ma Hongjun nightmares for days, but it had also strengthened his mental resilience.
Therefore, Ma Hongjun forcibly suppressed his fear, diverting some of his thoughts and activating his second spirit ring. "Explode!" Golden light erupted from Ma Hongjun's body, wisps of black energy being expelled. After the Ice and Fire Body Refinement, Ma Hongjun's second spirit skill had been enhanced. The "Explode
" of his second spirit skill primarily manifested within his body, gathering the power of his second spirit ring and his own body to destroy anything that didn't belong to or bound him. Ma Hongjun's body was now brimming with power, fused with the power of two immortal-grade plants, making him even stronger than his second spirit ring. The power of his second spirit skill, "Explode," was now more than double what it had been before. At this moment, Gu Tianlong was already approaching with a claw strike. Too close, the Dragon Soul Spear couldn't be used. Ma Hongjun clenched his right fist to meet the attack. A layer of dark golden light enveloped his right hand, but he didn't extend his claws. Against Gu Tianlong, the Dark Golden Terror Claws weren't necessary. The bone claws scratched the back of Ma Hongjun's hand, making a sizzling sound, but didn't pierce the skin. At the same time, Ma Hongjun's fist struck Gu Tianlong's palm, knocking him back with a punch. Ma Hongjun wasn't going to give him a chance to attack indefinitely. Phoenix Playing with a Hundred Birds stepped forward, his third soul ring shone, and the water spear was unleashed. Countless spear rains covered the bone dragon's eyes. The sticky water had a strong adhesive effect, instantly filling the empty eyes, forming a pair of eerie blue pupils. At this moment, the bone dragon looked extremely strange; those water-formed pupils seemed to be flowing. From within the skeletal dragon bones, a pair of glowing, watery eyes suddenly appeared. This image, the bone dragon had changed, become, a... lewd... dragon! (End of this chapter)
