"Under normal circumstances, it shouldn't be the case that a Titled Douluo would fabricate facts about when they became a Titled Douluo."
After hearing Ning Rongrong talk about Qin Xiao publicly announcing his age, even Sword Douluo wasn't so doubtful anymore.
After all, a Titled Douluo has their pride, who would boast about such a matter?
"However, I still can't quite understand how one could become a Titled Douluo at eighteen."
On the side, Ning Fengzhi's frown grew even deeper, this was extremely illogical.
"Giggle..."
Seeing Sword Douluo and Ning Fengzhi looking deflated, Ning Rongrong couldn't help but let out a bell-like laugh, "Dad, Grandpa Sword, if you'd seen His Majesty the Thunder Emperor's cultivation process, you might not think so."
"Rongrong, you mean to say, you've seen him cultivate?"
Suddenly, Ning Fengzhi's breathing quickened.
"Of course!" Ning Rongrong nodded, "I witnessed it with my own eyes."
"Quick, tell Dad, this is of utmost importance!"
Having received an affirmative response from Ning Rongrong, Ning Fengzhi's breathing quickened even more.
Truth be told, he really wanted to know how a freak who'd become a Titled Douluo at just eighteen cultivated.
On the side, Sword Douluo also pricked up his ears discreetly, and even controlled his breathing subconsciously to make it quieter so he could hear more clearly.
Without a doubt, if he could learn something from that mysterious Thunder Emperor Douluo's cultivation methods, it would be greatly beneficial to his own training.
"Dad, Grandpa Sword, you may listen, but don't get too many ideas. His Majesty the Thunder Emperor's cultivation method, you probably can't learn."
Ning Rongrong, with her astute mind and understanding of Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo, saw through their thoughts in an instant and promptly cautioned them.
"Haha, are there dangers to life involved?" Ning Fengzhi was amused by Ning Rongrong's words.
Sword Douluo also shook his head with a smile, "The more you say that, the more I want to try it out and see what's so unique about His Majesty the Thunder Emperor's cultivation method."
The more Ning Rongrong warned them, the more inclined he was to give it a try.
"Sigh."
Ning Rongrong shook her head helplessly, "Actually, His Majesty the Thunder Emperor's method of cultivation is very simple. Have you heard of Tempest Body Refinement?"
"Tempest Body Refinement?"
Sword Douluo and Ning Fengzhi exchanged glances, seeing confusion in each other's eyes.
At that moment, Ning Rongrong spoke again, "That is, summoning thunder to be struck by lightning as a method of cultivation."
"What?"
"You mean getting struck by lightning!"
Sword Douluo couldn't help exclaiming in shock.
Wasn't their reason for coming to Shrek to investigate the true cause behind the peculiar lightning strikes?
Now, judging from Ning Rongrong's implication, it was man-made?
"How thoroughly should one be struck..."
"Pfft."
"So, how long approximately does this Tempest Body Refinement process last?"
Ning Fengzhi was extremely shaken, but still managed to ask calmly.
"A long time."
Ning Rongrong pondered seriously for a moment before giving a time frame, "Roughly from midnight until dawn, I guess."
Hisss...
Sword Douluo and Ning Fengzhi sharply inhaled.
"Sect Master, if it's truly as Rongrong says, then this Thunder Emperor Douluo really isn't someone to be underestimated."
"Even with my cultivation level, I couldn't withstand such prolonged thunder strikes."
"Even the old bones wouldn't be able to endure hits for that long. Even the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan, who possess the Thunderous Force, wouldn't dare to cultivate like this!
This method of cultivation is basically courting death, I really don't know how he could bear it."
Sword Douluo secretly communicated to Ning Fengzhi.
Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi nodded slightly, without saying anything more.
However, the glimmer of wisdom in his eyes flickered, and Sword Douluo knew that the Sect Master must be planning something, and it was related to that Thunder Emperor Douluo.
"Grandpa Sword, do you still want to learn from it now?"
Ning Rongrong asked with her big eyes twinkling at Sword Douluo.
```
In fact, his words were quite understated.
In his heart, he also privately complained, who would dare to borrow and imitate such chock-full of technique and ruthless work?
Whoever tries it, dies, right!
"By the way, Dad, Grandpa Sword, besides that, there is also something about His Majesty the Thunder Emperor that you need to know," Ning Rongrong solemnly said.
"What's the matter?"
Sword Douluo and Ning Fengzhi were very serious, moved in their hearts.
They had already realized that nothing related to His Majesty the Thunder Emperor was simple.
"That is, Hao Tian Douluo Tang Hao of the Hao Tian Clan had a confrontation with His Majesty the Thunder Emperor, and in the end, Tang Hao fled with his son in a dejected manner," Ning Rongrong said with pride.
Her expression resembled that of a star-chasing fan Qin Xiao had seen in his previous life; when their idol achieved something, they seemed prouder than if they had achieved it themselves.
"Ah, this..."
"Even Tang Hao was defeated, and it has been over a decade since he became a Titled Douluo, right?"
"The world's number one Tool Martial Soul, and the secret techniques of the Hao Tian Clan, they were all no match for an eighteen-year-old Titled Douluo?"
After listening to Ning Rongrong's words, Sword Douluo and Ning Fengzhi didn't even know what to say.
They were so shocked that they had become somewhat numb.
They couldn't imagine what kind of terrifying talent could mold such a genius.
"Wait a minute!"
Suddenly, Sword Douluo thought of what Ning Rongrong said at the beginning, "Sect Master, if that Thunder Emperor Douluo is truly that strong, then he might have really killed that hundred-thousand-year Titan Ape!"
Ning Fengzhi was taken aback, "Does that mean he likely possesses a hundred-thousand-year soul bone too?"
A hundred-thousand-year soul bone, ah, Ning Fengzhi's eyes reddened with desire.
It is the dream of countless Soul Masters!
"Sect Master, I have a bold idea."
Sword Douluo's eyes suddenly revealed a frenzied look.
"Uncle Jian, are you thinking of sparring with that young man?" Ning Fengzhi knew Sword Douluo very well, and he guessed his idea in an instant.
"Haha."
Sword Douluo laughed loudly, "You really understand me, Sect Master. An old turtle like me can't gain any battle insight from sparring with that contraption, and it just makes me angry. But this Qin Xiao, he's different. I feel that sparring with him would be greatly beneficial to me!"
After pondering for a moment, Ning Fengzhi nodded slightly, "We will have to see what Qin Xiao thinks about this matter; we can't force him."
...
"If you have something to say, say it here."
In a quiet and secluded forest, Qin Xiao stopped walking and said to the girl in front of him.
"Ah, okay..."
The girl seemed somewhat distracted.
When she turned around, Qin Xiao could clearly see the panic on the girl's face.
What's with this ice queen today? Qin Xiao was puzzled and decided to get straight to the point, "What is it that you wanted to see me about?"
"I, I..."
Zhu Zhuqing hesitated for a moment, not knowing how to begin.
"If you don't speak up, I'm leaving."
Qin Xiao frowned; women really are troublesome.
"Your Highness, please don't go, I'll speak," Zhu Zhuqing said in a rush, "I want to ask for your help!"
