Chapter 38: Wasn't it Agreed That Everyone on Douluo Continent Has Negative IQ?

Ning Rongrong was utterly bewildered. She and Kong were only about two months apart in age, yet he had already reached level sixty-two.

"Wait, something's not right. Kong's spirit rings are all wrong. They can only absorb thousand-year spirit rings? Even more outrageous than my family's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda?"

"No, absolutely not!"

Ning Rongrong thought to herself, observing the purple spirit rings on Kong's body, pondering deeply. These purple spirit rings were lighter than the usual ones, and their patterns were also unusual because they had the same circular markings as those behind Kong.

Thinking this, Ning Rongrong's face looked puzzled. Why would Kong lie about this? What exactly is the situation with these spirit rings?

As a once-in-a-century genius of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Rongrong was intelligent. Zhao Wuji and Tang Hao, who had been in the world of spirit masters for decades, were no fools either.

Initially shocked by Kong's level of spirit power, they believed his ridiculous stories... until Tang Hao, a titled Douluo, sensed something off about the spirit rings on Kong. He had spirit rings of one hundred years, one thousand years, ten thousand years, and one hundred thousand years. He was familiar with the fluctuations of spirit power and the aura of the spirit beasts from before their death, which allowed him to roughly estimate the strength of a spirit ring.

"It's strange, starting from the third spirit ring, why is there no aura fluctuation from a spirit beast?"

"Just spirit power fluctuations? Truly bizarre!"

Having previously believed Kong's words, Tang Hao took a closer look and realized the boy was lying. Zhao Wuji also felt something was off and bluntly said, "Kid, your spirit rings clearly aren't just ordinary thousand-year spirit rings, and the patterns are wrong too!"

Kong: "..."

Wasn't it agreed that on Douluo Continent, everyone had negative IQ?

Tang San, even when starving, is the most cunning with his plans!

Was he exposed so quickly?

"Um..."

Kong slightly opened his mouth, hesitating to speak.

It seems he underestimated the intelligence of the natives of Douluo Continent.

"Ah, I originally wanted to interact with you all under a slightly more ordinary genius identity, but that only led to alienation."

Kong sighed, then waved his hand and said, "Alright, since I've been discovered, I won't pretend anymore, let's be open!"

At this, Kong paused, his mouth corners slightly raised, a glint of "wisdom" flashing in his eyes, he continued, "Because of my martial spirit, no matter what age the spirit rings I obtain, they are all purple."

"Kid, guess if I still believe you!"

Zhao Wuji twitched his mouth.

To believe this kid again would make him a fool! Tang Hao, secretly nodding in approval, thought that though he agreed, the deserved punishment must still be delivered!

This old guy had beaten his son, Tang San, into such a state! Young man, just falling asleep on the ground!

If Zhao Wuji had been a bit harsher, Tang San might not have just been 'falling asleep on the ground.'

Maybe in twelve years, he would be another chaste and pure Tang San...

Kong was quite speechless; when he lied, or rather, when everyone believed him, although it wasn't for long, they did believe.

When telling the truth, apart from Dugu Yan behind him, probably no one else believed him?

"Regardless of whether my words are true or false, just say whether I answered you or not?"

Zhao Wuji: "..."

This guy is pretty straightforward... not!

Thinking it over, what do Kong's spirit rings have to do with Zhao Wuji?

"Should I discipline this kid? How dare he deceive me!"

Zhao Wuji was somewhat hesitant.

If he disciplined Kong, with Kong's talent, it probably wouldn't take many years for him to come back and properly 'educate' Zhao Wuji.

After some thought, Zhao Wuji ultimately decided to follow his heart. Putting aside what might happen in a few years, although this young man's martial soul was not the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, it definitely had a significant connection to the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan!

With such a genius, if he, Zhao Wuji, didn't have anyone to protect him, it might as well be his name written backwards!

If he were to seriously reprimand this young man, the consequences could be dire. With this in mind, Zhao Wuji compromised, preparing to provide some heartfelt guidance to Kong.

"Zhao Wuji, Martial Spirit: Vigorous Vajra Bear, Level 76 Assault-type Battle Spirit Saint!"

Zhao Wuji also announced his basic information, a gesture of respect to his opponent before a battle.

"Vigorous Vajra Bear, attach!"

He couldn't be careless, knowing that Kong was a Soul Emperor and wielded a type of long blade martial soul called Engulfing Lightning.

The martial soul was clearly not simple; the lightning flashes and the glow emitted from the blade's edge were chilling to the bone.

Standing aside, Dai Mubai, who previously looked at Kong and Dugu Yan with a hint of hatred—after all, these two had embarrassed him and got him kicked out of the Rose Hotel—now saw the six spirit rings and the mysterious circles on Kong, and his eyes cleared instantly. Thoughts of revenge seemed foolish; after all, they hadn't really harmed him back then.

Yes, he had immediately kneeled to beg for mercy, and Dugu Yan was quite stunned…

Kong and Zhao Wuji faced each other, the twenty meters between them negligible in their eyes.

"Strike first."

Muttering under his breath, Kong charged directly at Zhao Wuji, his Engulfing Lightning performing a flourish.

Calling it a flourish, he simply spun the Engulfing Lightning around his wrist, leaving Zhao Wuji guessing his next move.

In an instant, the distance between them closed to about five meters. Kong then gripped the Engulfing Lightning, swinging down towards Zhao Wuji's head!

"!!!"

He couldn't take this hit head-on! This wasn't an ordinary blade, but the martial soul of a Soul Emperor!

Zhao Wuji dodged to the side, not moving much; his speed was sufficient to barely avoid the strike.

His heart raced; this young man named Kong, claiming to be an assault-type battle Soul Emperor, was as fast as a speed-type Soul Emperor who hadn't used any soul skills!

"First Soul Skill: Immovable King's Body!"

After dodging the strike, Zhao Wuji quickly unleashed his first soul skill. He had no choice—if he didn't use a soul skill, the opponent's weapon would definitely injure him!

To give guidance to a junior and yet be the first to release a soul skill, he really lost face there.

Kong, missing his strike, wasn't annoyed; he half-crouched and slashed horizontally towards Zhao Wuji's waist…

Zhao Wuji: "…"

He definitely couldn't afford to get injured there!

Feeling a chill down his back and breaking out in a cold sweat, Zhao Wuji hurriedly moved...
