196 Chapter 191: You're Not Ordinary, Are You? I Have No Equal Among My Peers!_1

```

Upon hearing Ning Fengzhi inquire about the origin of the large pit in the arena,

nobody else had reacted yet.

Zhao Wuji's face twitched,

and he glanced at Luo Yu with a deep sense of wariness flashing in his eyes.

That punch from Luo Yu had left him with a profound psychological shadow, had he moved any slower that day, he'd have been bedridden for at least ten days to half a month.

Zhao Wuji felt that no one born could match Luo Yu at his level.

In his entire life, he had never seen a Soul King explode a Soul Sage, but Luo Yu had done it.

While Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo were indeed famous throughout Soul Land, if their strength were suppressed to Luo Yu's level, they would probably only face a brutal beating.

And that was without a shadow of a doubt.

Zhao Wuji knew everything, but he just wouldn't say it.

What bad intentions could he have?

He was simply waiting to enjoy the show, looking forward to Ning Fengzhi being put in his place.

The sudden and aggressive visit from the three big shots of the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect, which appeared to be a mission to assign blame, had given him and Flander quite a scare.

They were outright trembling.

Even if he held grudges in his heart, he dared not speak out too much, only managing to force a smile.

After all, he was no match in terms of strength.

But if he could have the chance to see Ning Fengzhi humiliated by Luo Yu, he would feel overjoyed.

Ning Rongrong purposefully did not tell her father about the origin of the large pit, urging him,

"Dad, forget about the pit, let's start quickly."

"Brother Yu has accompanied us on a trip, and he's tired. He needs to rest."

"Hiss!"

Ning Fengzhi sharply inhaled.

Seeing his daughter turn her back on him pained his heart.

There was a saying he couldn't understand before, but now he suddenly saw the light.

A daughter indeed grows up and drifts away.

He clenched his teeth, glaring at Luo Yu with resentment.

The more he looked, the more resentful he felt, the more displeased he became.

"Boy, I advise you to just give up directly,"

"Don't engage in a meaningless battle."

"Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, both elders, were unmatched in their youth. After decades of cultivation and new insights, even if they suppress their cultivation levels to give you a fair fight,"

"you stand no chance of victory."

Luo Yu shook his head and sighed, ignoring Ning Fengzhi, glancing at Ning Rongrong.

"Rongrong, can we not fight?"

"As your dad says, this fight indeed has no meaning."

Ning Fengzhi thought Luo Yu was scared and planning to give up.

A hint of a smile flashed in his eyes, and he nodded in agreement,

"There are always some people in the world who can't see the gap between friend and foe, and they won't give up until they hit a dead end."

"I didn't expect you, boy, to actually understand the situation, not recklessly persist, knowing when to retreat in the face of difficulty."

"Now, I've started to appreciate you a bit."

Ning Rongrong walked over, tugged at Ning Fengzhi's clothes, and whispered,

"Dad~ Stop talking for now, otherwise you're going to regret it so much when you see Brother Yu's strength later!"

Ning Fengzhi clearly hesitated for a moment, puzzled and perplexed.

"What strength could he have? Isn't he already aware that he can't overcome Sword Grandpa, ready to surrender without fighting, right?"

Ning Rongrong shook her head, "Dad, you've misunderstood."

"What Brother Yu finds meaningless is fighting Sword Grandpa and Bone Grandpa at the same level; there wouldn't be any suspense at all."

Ning Fengzhi said, "Then I didn't misunderstand, right? There indeed wouldn't be any suspense, as he would lose no matter what."

Ning Rongrong blinked, "Dad, you've got it the wrong way around."

"I've got it the wrong way around?"

Ning Fengzhi first looked puzzled, then his eyes widened.

"What do you mean?"

"Could it be that you mean, Sword Grandpa and Bone Grandpa would lose to this boy?"

"Yes."

Ning Rongrong nodded.

"If the two grandpas were to go all out, Brother Yu might not win, but if they suppress their strength to fight at the same level, they'd have no way of being his match at all."

"So Brother Yu said this fight is meaningless."

Ning Fengzhi's face was a picture of stunned disbelief, wondering if he had misheard.

Could it be that two seasoned powerhouses, with a lifetime of combat experience, would lose to a young man?

```

If these words hadn't come from his own daughter,

he'd have suspected the other party of being a fool. How could they not see such an obvious disparity in strength?

Ning Fengzhi touched his daughter's forehead, "Rongrong, you don't have a fever, do you? What nonsense are you talking about?"

"You ask your peers around, who wins and who loses is clear even before the fight starts."

Ning Rongrong responded, "Exactly, it's crystal clear."

Zhao Wuji, Flander, and others around them nodded in agreement.

What Ning Fengzhi didn't know was that everyone was supporting Luo Yu, not Sword Douluo or Bone Douluo.

Suddenly, Sword Douluo opened his mouth, "Alright, Fengzhi, stop talking."

"Since we have plenty of time, let's have the kid Rongrong and I have taken a liking to have a sparring session."

Ning Fengzhi apologized, "I appreciate Uncle Jian looking after Rongrong's matters. For someone of your status to spar with a junior indeed lowers your dignity."

Sword Douluo waved his hand dismissively, "It's fine. I'd like to see what's so special about the man Rongrong has taken a liking to."

Ning Fengzhi said bitterly, "What could be special? I've seen through him completely, inside and out. I don't know where Rongrong gets so much confidence to believe in this kid."

Sword Douluo's gaze fell on Luo Yu, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"Fengzhi, you're always sharp-eyed."

"But this time, I feel that you might have really misjudged."

Ning Fengzhi's eyelid twitched, "What do you mean by that, Elder?"

Without responding to Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo chuckled lightly at Luo Yu, "Young man, do you agree with what I said? You're certainly not as simple as you appear to be."

"Fengzhi is distracted by his deep love for his daughter, not as calm in his thinking as usual. I, however, am very rational right now."

"Rongrong is so willful, yet she's so gentle and utterly trusting of you in front of you. With such skills and charm, how could you be a nobody?"

Luo Yu was initially feeling somewhat bored, but upon hearing Sword Douluo's words,

and looking into those piercing sword eyes,

the corners of his mouth curled into a slight smile.

"True to your reputation, Lord Sword Douluo, indeed you have an insightful eye."

"Hahaha."

Confirming his suspicion, Sword Douluo let out a hearty laugh.

Accompanied by a clear and resounding sword cry,

a murderous intent surged, the Seven Kills Sword drawn.

A longsword, pure silver and exceedingly sharp, appeared in his hand.

"Young man, I'm quite intrigued by you. Would you dare to duel with me?"

"Don't worry, given my status, I won't bully a junior like you, nor will I take out my anger on you just because you're with Rongrong."

"On the contrary, if you can withstand my three strokes at the same level, I could very well persuade Fengzhi to betroth Rongrong to you."

Hearing the two converse, Ning Fengzhi was startled.

Could this kid have been hiding his strength under his watch?

Impossible.

He looked at Luo Yu over and over again, but really couldn't see anything.

Sword Douluo's penetrating gaze was fixed on Luo Yu.

"How about it, young man, do you dare to fight?"

"Let me see what you're made of."

Luo Yu's exposed skin could clearly feel the bone-chilling sword intent of the Seven Kills Sword.

Looking at the elder's pure gaze, he chuckled softly.

"It would be my pleasure; how could I refuse?"

"But before we fight, I have one request."

Sword Douluo's eyes expressed admiration upon seeing Luo Yu agree so readily.

Most people would be chilled to the bone just feeling the murderous intent on his sword, yet this young man didn't even blink, clearly out of the ordinary.

"Don't worry, I will suppress my cultivation level to match yours."

Luo Yu shook his head.

"That won't be necessary, within the same level, I have no opponents."

"You may suppress it to the Soul Sage level."

"What???" Sword Douluo was stunned.

Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo were also instantly in shock.

What nonsense was this boy spouting!

Did he even know who was standing before him?

Across the entire Soul Land, there were hardly a few people who dared to claim a sure victory over Sword Douluo at the same level.

This was sheer arrogance without bounds.

However, that wasn't all Luo Yu had to say.
