Ning Fengzhi nodded slightly upon hearing this. Knowing that he wouldn't get any more answers, he stopped pressing and turned his gaze back to the arena.
Inside the arena, Jiang Yunzhou saw Gu Rong still in a daze and urged him, "Bone Douluo, stop spacing out! Are we fighting or not? Rongrong will be back with groceries soon, and I still need to go back and cook."
Gu Rong snapped back to reality, but he was so angered by Jiang Yunzhou's words that he puffed out his beard and glared, "Good! Good! Good kid!"
This kid was so disrespectful to an elder; it really made him furious.
However, he no longer underestimated Jiang Yunzhou. Nine spirit rings burst forth from behind him, and a powerful aura swept out.
Jiang Yunzhou knew that Gu Rong was renowned for his elusive spatial abilities and mobility.
He wasn't entirely sure if his Domain could trap him.
But he still chose to start with his fifth Spirit Ability. There was no way to deal with someone of a higher cultivation level than himself without being cautious.
"Fifth Spirit Ability: Boundless Sword Tomb!"
An invisible Domain instantly unfolded, enveloping both of them.
"A Domain?"
Gu Rong was surprised once again, not expecting this kid to even possess a Domain.
"Kid, you've got some tricks up your sleeve, not bad."
"You flatter me, you flatter me." Jiang Yunzhou smirked, a little obnoxious, and retorted, "From now on, let's see how long it takes you to break through my Domain."
As soon as he finished speaking, sword qi instantly crisscrossed within the Domain!
Jiang Yunzhou maintained the Domain while continuously using other Spirit Abilities to harass his opponent.
Dense, sharp sword qi was everywhere, striking at Gu Rong from various tricky angles.
Gu Rong's figure was like Gui Mei, relying on his superb mobility to weave and dodge through the gaps in the sword qi, narrowly avoiding one sword qi after another.
But at this moment, he was within Jiang Yunzhou's Domain, and there were times when he couldn't avoid everything, resulting in several cuts on his robes.
What frustrated him was that whenever he tried to gather spirit power to unleash a powerful Spirit Ability, Jiang Yunzhou's 'Sixth Spirit Ability: One Sword Breaks the Law' would seize the opportunity to forcefully interrupt his casting.
He didn't know what was happening, only that his spirit power circulation was obstructed, preventing him from casting.
This feeling of being constrained everywhere made Gu Rong incredibly frustrated.
Since he didn't have old injuries, he was truly enraged and actually endured several sword qi attacks, erupting with magnificent spirit power to forcefully tear open the Domain!
Jiang Yunzhou hadn't adopted a life-or-death stance, so he still held back somewhat and didn't go all out.
If he really got heated, Ning Rongrong would be the one to feel sad.
The two exchanged blows in the arena, Spirit Abilities clashing and energy waves surging.
Gu Rong, who had initially intended to hold back, was horrified to discover that even with his Spirit Saint-level spirit power, he was no match for Jiang Yunzhou!
Even when he raised his strength to the Soul Douluo level, he was still suppressed and retreated steadily!
In the end, Bone Douluo simply threw caution to the wind.
His Titled Douluo cultivation went all out!
Even so, he found that he still struggled to defeat this seven-ring Spirit Saint before him.
In this situation, even if he ultimately won, it would be an unfair victory.
But he truly couldn't lose; otherwise, where would he put his old face?
This feeling was truly hard to swallow.
If he had gone all out from the beginning, he wouldn't be in such a passive situation now.
No, this is too frustrating to fight.
Gu Rong gritted his teeth while fighting, thinking, 'This experience, I definitely can't enjoy it alone. Chen Xin, that old sword man, if I get the chance, I must let him taste this suffocating feeling too!'
At this moment, the person he was thinking about was actually Chen Xin.
These two were truly a pair of sworn enemies, suffering together.
As for Jiang Yunzhou, he was thoroughly enjoying the fight.
It was a rare and excellent opportunity to spar with a powerhouse like Gu Rong, and the other party wouldn't go for a killing blow, clearly making him the best whetstone.
He continuously refined his Spirit Abilities and cultivation techniques.
Such a good sparring partner was harder to find than searching with a lantern!
Only Gu Rong himself knew how difficult he was finding the fight.
On the surface, he still had to maintain the demeanor of an effortless senior.
He was already cursing inwardly: 'What a monster! This child is destined to soar like a dragon in the future, limitless!'
However, since Jiang Yunzhou hadn't called a halt, he couldn't bring himself to be the one to stop, so he could only endure.
Subsequently, he intentionally or unintentionally cast a 'you know' look at Ning Fengzhi.
Ning Fengzhi, standing nearby, frowned slightly, sensing something amiss: "How do I feel... Bone Grandpa seems to be asking me for help?"
Zhu Zhuqing, on the other hand, watched with surging excitement, her eyes sparkling with admiration.
She knew her teacher was strong, but she never expected him to be strong enough to fight Bone Douluo back and forth!
Too strong, truly ridiculously strong, a sense of pride couldn't help but rise in her heart.
'Look, that's my teacher, isn't he amazing?'
Just as Ning Fengzhi was contemplating, his gaze caught sight of something in the distance, and he let out a sigh of relief, thinking, 'Reinforcements have arrived.'
"Teacher, time to go home and cook!"
A clear shout came, and Ning Rongrong appeared bouncing into view.
Jiang Yunzhou, who was fighting with great exhilaration, stopped his movements with a sense of reluctance after hearing the shout.
He immediately put on a smiling face and respectfully cupped his hands, saying, "Bone Douluo's strength is extraordinary. This junior exerted his full effort but couldn't gain any advantage. I have lost."
Gu Rong was overjoyed upon hearing this, thinking: 'This kid really knows how to play along.'
He immediately let out a sigh of relief and followed up with a hearty laugh: "Hahaha~ Kid, not bad! Truly a formidable youngster with boundless prospects!"
"Later, I'll introduce you to an old sword man; you can spar with him too."
Jiang Yunzhou still met him with a smile and replied, "In that case, I thank Bone Douluo for his guidance."
Ning Fengzhi secretly chuckled to himself; he was clearly frustrated and wanted to drag someone else into it.
However, Ning Fengzhi's composure was excellent, and his face remained calm.
Although Zhu Zhuqing hadn't fully grasped the intricacies, this did not prevent her admiration for her teacher from soaring to a new height.
Ning Rongrong ran over, her face wreathed in smiles, and intimately hugged Jiang Yunzhou's arm: "Teacher, was Bone Grandpa bullying you?"
Jiang Yunzhou feigned anger and said, "Don't talk nonsense! Your Bone Grandpa was giving me pointers."
"In the future, be more respectful to your father and your two grandpas. If I ever hear you being disrespectful again, see if I don't teach you a lesson!"
Ning Rongrong immediately pouted, whining, "Teacher, why are you like this? I'm still a child!"
Jiang Yunzhou chuckled and patted the back of her head: "Child, it's time for you to grow up! Let's go home and cook!"
He walked ahead, followed by Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, while Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong tacitly slowed their steps.
"Bone Grandpa, you just now..." Ning Fengzhi asked in a low voice.
Gu Rong looked at Jiang Yunzhou's retreating figure, his gaze complex and unreadable.
Jiang Yunzhou had given him enough face, which had changed his impression of the kid: "This kid is truly good. With his current strength, if we were to fight to the death with full effort, I might not necessarily win."
"Fengzhi, this person is worth befriending."
Hearing this assessment directly from Gu Rong, Ning Fengzhi's face once again showed shock: "Bone Grandpa, did he hide his strength?"
Gu Rong slowly shook his head, his tone incredibly certain: "No, he is genuinely at the Spirit Saint realm, but his Spirit Abilities, his Domain..."
"Especially that sixth Spirit Ability, it can forcefully interrupt others' casting, causing their spirit power to stagnate and defenses to be ineffective. It's truly too bizarre."
"Fengzhi, he also uses a sword. We must let that old fellow Chen Xin meet him sometime!"
Ning Fengzhi glanced at Gu Rong. Even now, he didn't forget to play a trick on Chen Xin.
However, Gu Rong's words did indeed shock him. He took a deep breath, suppressing the surging thoughts in his heart.
This was truly too incredible.
He thought for a moment, tapping his staff, as if he had made some sort of decision.
"Bone Grandpa, later, please make a trip to Heaven Dou City yourself to scout a good piece of land and build an academy. I want to give a gift..."
"Hmm, let's just consider it tuition fees for Rongrong!"
