Chapter 17: A Marvel

Chapter 17: A Marvel

Early the next morning, Ning Wuque and the newly arrived knights led the way at the forefront to prevent any potential dangers.

At this point, with the addition of Ning Wuque's knight squad, the total number of people in the team protecting the participating contestants had reached a thousand knights, constituting a formidable force. Moreover, with Ning Wuque himself, a Soul Douluo, there was hardly any threat that could break through the knight squad and endanger the contestants behind them.

Of course, the current level of defense was vastly different from when they had just arrived.

There were Titled Douluo like Gu Rong and Chen Xin, as well as Soul Douluo like Ning Wuque, Ning Fengzhi, Flander, and Liu Erlong, not to mention the once-disabled Soul Saint, Zhao Wujin.

With such strength, even if three ordinary Titled Douluo were to appear again, it would be impossible for them to pose any real threat.

At this moment, the massive procession had already left the Grand Canyon and arrived on an empty road. There was no sign of life around, just a desolate landscape of yellow earth.

At this point, Ning Rongrong stuck her head out and looked into the distance, where she saw a huge ravine that had appeared on the ground at some unknown time, far away from their current position.

"Everyone, I've found a marvel! In this barren land, there's actually a gigantic ravine. Come take a look!" Ning Rongrong exclaimed.

Upon hearing this, the other six became curious and took turns to observe. When it was Tang San's turn, he murmured as he looked at the huge ravine, "Truly, nature's handiwork is extraordinary, able to create such wonders."

Seeing this scene, Tang San couldn't help but marvel at the wonders of nature, a knowledge he had possessed even in his previous life.

Walking beside him, Ning Fengzhi heard this and smiled, shaking his head. Chen Xin also couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. The marvels of nature? Clearly, this was caused by a powerful Titled Douluo.

Ning Rongrong noticed Ning Fengzhi's meaningful smile and asked, "Father, what are you laughing at? Isn't this what Third Brother said, a marvel created by nature?"

Tang San also became curious, as did the others. After all, such a marvel was truly breathtaking, and although the huge ravine seemed small from their current distance, it would be incredibly impressive up close.

Ning Fengzhi smiled and said, "Tang San is right. Nature's handiwork is indeed marvelous. However, this marvel before us was not created by nature."

As he spoke, he looked at Chen Xin. Chen Xin coughed dryly as she walked, thinking to herself that while what he said was true, she still wanted to save face, especially in front of the younger generation. In their eyes, she had always been an incredibly powerful presence.

"Father, please tell us. Don't keep us in suspense any longer. We're all very curious," Ning Rongrong urged. She felt that this marvel was definitely not as simple as it seemed and couldn't have been created by nature alone.

Ning Fengzhi chuckled and said, "Since you're all so curious, I'll tell you. This marvel didn't exist before, but it appeared when we arrived."

Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong was momentarily stunned, then speechlessly said, "Father, your explanation is like saying nothing at all. We've never been here before, so how could we have known? It's only natural that we see it now that we're here, right?"

The others also understood it this way, as who would think otherwise?

At this moment, Tang San unexpectedly spoke up, saying, "What Master Ning means is that this marvel was created recently, and it happened in the past couple of days."

Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi smiled and said, "Indeed, Tang San is sharp-witted. I won't beat around the bush anymore. This marvel was man-made."

"Man-made?" Ning Rongrong, Dai Mubai, and even Ma Hongjun, Oscar, were all surprised. Could humans truly create such a marvel?

Could it really be done by humans?

In comparison, Zhu Zhuqing remained relatively calm. It wasn't that she wasn't interested, but her shock was concealed, not as overtly expressed as the others.

At this moment, Ma Hongjun asked, "Master Ning, can humans really create such marvels?"

Ning Fengzhi replied affirmatively, "Yes, with strength reaching the level of Titled Douluo, one can create such astonishing marvels. Of course, it also requires special circumstances."

Ma Hongjun nodded. So, this marvel was created by a Titled Douluo. The strength of a Titled Douluo was truly formidable. It seemed their understanding of Titled Douluo was still too limited.

Staying at the level of Dugu Bo, it seemed that the Titled Douluo who created this marvel must be even stronger than Dugu Bo.

"And the person who created this marvel is none other than the white-robed man who chased after you that day. It was created during the swordsmanship duel between Sword Douluo and that white-robed man. Thinking about it this way, you're already clear about it," Ning Fengzhi said.

Then, everyone turned their shocked gazes towards Chen Xin. This kind of marvel was actually created by that white-robed man during the duel with the senior swordsman? How intense must their battle have been to create such a marvel?

Chen Xin cleared his throat and said, "The subtleties of swordsmanship are far beyond what you see. For us powerful swordsmen, creating such marvels is not difficult; it's just a matter of swinging a sword."

Although he had been thoroughly beaten by the opponent and the marvel before them was not created by him, he still wanted to save face in front of the younger generation. In their eyes, he had always been an incredibly powerful presence.

Ning Fengzhi chuckled and didn't say anything. He didn't want to mention how badly Sword Douluo had been beaten by the opponent, and he couldn't undermine Sword Douluo's dignity either.

"So powerful!" Oscar's worldview was completely refreshed. Swordsmen were actually this powerful?

Chen Xin smiled and said, "Of course, not just any swordsman can create such marvels. At the very least, they must reach the level of Titled Douluo. For example, the guard beside His Highness the Crown Prince also uses a sword, but he's completely incapable of it. Not only is his understanding of swordsmanship shallow, but his own strength also hasn't reached that level."

Tang San pondered. The Titled Douluo who wanted to kill him was truly a formidable swordsman.

In his previous life, although he was in the Tang Sect, he had also heard that powerful swordsmen could split rocks with a sword. But evidently, the swordsmen in this world were even more powerful and terrifying!
