Douluo Dalu:Divorcing Ning Rongrong–Why Did She Refuse to Consummate?

Sunlight slanted through the lattice windows of the hall as Ning Rongrong stood quietly, her beautiful face betraying a hint of subtle turmoil.

Her eyes, usually brimming with confidence and haughtiness, now held a trace of confusion and regret.

"Perhaps I went too far…" she murmured to herself.

 Her earlier attitude had truly belittled Chen Feng.

After all, Chen Feng was Sword Grandpa's grandson. Speaking of him that way must have hurt the old man.

"It's all Father's fault for insisting on this bet…"

Ning Rongrong grumbled softly, shifting the blame onto the Sect Master of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect—her own father.

But as for whether Chen Feng could possibly surpass her in spirit power three years later?

In her view, it was utterly impossible.

Everyone knew Chen Feng had a crippled martial soul.

How could a crippled martial soul force a prodigy like her into servitude?

What a joke!

[Ding. Detected Ning Rongrong's complacent emotions. Emotion Value +100]

"Rongrong, why aren't you chasing after him?"

"Chase what?"

"Of course, it's Chen Feng."

"Why should I chase him? I already agreed to divorce him. Now we're two parallel lines that will never intersect."

"Ah... You rebellious daughter!"

Ning Fengzhi sighed heavily when he saw his persuasion was ineffective.

"Rongrong, there's something I don't know if I should say."

"Grandpa Sword, go ahead."

Seeing Sword Douluo's regretful expression, Ning Rongrong couldn't help feeling surprised.

But soon she "figured it out" in her own way.

She thought Grandpa Sword must feel humiliated by her attitude towards his grandson and wanted to criticize her.

This didn't seem like an unsolvable problem to Ning Rongrong.

She planned to say some soft words later to show sincerity and let the matter fade away.

However, Sword Douluo's next words left Ning Rongrong stunned.

"Rongrong, have you ever considered that Chen Feng's strength might not be as weak as you imagine?"

These words struck like thunderbolt exploding in Ning Rongrong's heart.

[Ding. Detected Ning Rongrong's shocked emotions. Emotion Value +200]

"No way? Is Grandpa Sword just trying to scare me?"

"Could Chen Feng actually be hiding his strength?"

"That shouldn't be the case. If he truly had hidden power, why did he lose to Gu Long in the sect's internal sparring half a year ago?"

"Grandpa Sword must be bluffing."

Thinking this, Ning Rongrong finally relaxed slightly.

Just as she was about to dismiss the thought, Sword Douluo's next sentence completely stunned her.

"Rongrong, I'm telling the truth. Just yesterday, he told me he's already reached level 30."

"I didn't believe it at first, but his three spirit rings can't be faked."

Faced with this shocking news, Ning Rongrong froze completely.

"What?! Chen Feng is actually level 30?!"

"Doesn't that mean he's even higher-leveled than me, Ning Rongrong?"

"This…"

"This is… too unbelievable."

Ning Rongrong wore an expression of utter disbelief.

[Ding, detected Ning Rongrong's extreme surprise emotion, emotional value +300]

"Chen Xin, what's going on? Isn't it said that Chen Feng has a useless martial soul?" Ning Fengzhi asked curiously.

"Yes, Grandfather Jian, everyone knows that Chen Feng has a typical useless martial soul. How could he possibly be level thirty at the age of twelve?" Ning Rongrong's confusion was no less than that of Ning Fengzhi.

"We were wrong in the past; Chen Feng is indeed not the traditional Seven Killing Sword martial soul, but his martial soul is actually the Excalibur Immortal Sword, which just hadn't truly awakened before." Jian Douluo sighed and said slowly.

"Excalibur Immortal Sword martial soul? I've never heard of it. Is it very powerful?" Ning Rongrong asked in confusion.

"Not only is it powerful, but my Seven Killing martial soul is known as the number one attacking martial soul on the continent. It's quite embarrassing to say this, but after Chen Feng released his Excalibur Immortal Sword martial soul, even my Seven Killing Sword felt a hint of fear!"

As soon as Jian Douluo finished speaking, Ning Fengzhi and Ning Rongrong almost simultaneously gasped in shock.

Stronger than the Seven Killing Sword!

This...

This is just too exaggerated.

At this moment, Ning Rongrong's mood was regret, deep regret.

[Ding, detected Ning Rongrong's remorseful emotions. Emotional value +300]

She even thought that the reason Chen Feng discovered her date with Gu Long was precisely because he wanted to tell her about his martial soul's second awakening. Otherwise, based on her understanding of Chen Feng, he would never have actively suspected her on his own. Yes, that's exactly how it was. It must have been because Chen Feng wanted to give her a surprise that things turned out this way.

At this realization, Ning Rongrong's heart ached with bitterness.

Chen Feng had not only treated her exceptionally well since childhood, being utterly devoted and willing to endure any hardship.

He had always been her most steadfast support, ready to shield her from storms no matter when or where.

Now that she learned his martial soul talent was actually so extraordinary, the bitterness in her heart intensified.

His nearly perfect qualifications would undoubtedly make him radiantly brilliant in the future.

Even in the Marital Soul Master Tournament ten years later, Chen Feng would undoubtedly be the brightest star.

Among this younger generation, who could surpass Chen Feng?

Ning Rongrong's heart sank as she knew the answer was almost certainly - no one.

And she, Ning Rongrong herself, had actually driven away such an exceptional man through her own actions.

At this thought, her heart felt constricted as if by a tightening band, making it hard to breathe.

This is how people often are.

They don't cherish what they have until they lose it, when regret comes too late.

Ning Rongrong hurriedly ran out, hoping to find the figure that filled her heart with remorse.

However, there was nothing but the quietness brushed by gentle breezes.

Ning Rongrong's heart plunged to the depths as tears of remorse slid down her pale face.

The night fell, stars twinkled, and the moon hung high above the misty mountain peak.

Chen Feng lay alone on the warm grass, chewing on an unknown wild grass, its tip gently swirling at the corner of his mouth.

"From now on, I will have nothing to do with Ning Rongrong."

"Sigh, being a sycophant for so many years really isn't worth it."

"Fortunately, I awakened the Emotion Activation System."

The system works simply; it can collect emotional values generated by various main characters in Douluo to strengthen the host.

[Current emotion value: 5000]

"It's time to level up."

The reason he could level up quickly within this week was due to the emotional values.

However, the emotional values were limited before; he had only upgraded his level and fully awakened his mutated martial soul.

Right beneath Chen Feng's feet, three soul rings slowly rose up.

Yellow, yellow, yellow.

The first two were quite standard, being four hundred years and seven hundred years, which met the best soul ring age criteria.

As for the third one, it was because he was in a hurry to level up and lacked the necessary conditions, so he had to randomly obtain one.

If it were someone else, encountering such a situation, the age of the third soul ring would become a lifelong regret.

After all, others' third soul rings are in the thousand-year range, while yours is only a hundred years, which makes a huge difference in strength.

However, with the system, this was no longer a problem.

"System, I want to consume all my emotional values, help me upgrade my soul rings!"

[At your command, Master!]

The next moment, as if time and space came to a halt, the first soul ring beneath Chen Feng's feet began to change violently.

The originally yellow light flashed brightly in an instant, then gradually changed, as if gold was being purified into crystal in the fire, slowly dyeing itself a noble purple.

If someone saw this, they would surely be astonished; the age of the soul ring could actually change?

"Indeed, the system can really upgrade soul rings."

"My first soul ring is now a thousand years old, much higher than Tang San's four hundred year soul ring."

Then, the second soul ring beneath Chen Feng's feet also underwent a change...
