Chapter 497
Extra: Senior Sister Rongrong Becomes My Wife
After the God of War Tournament, Su Ran expanded and elevated the God Realm, and held a grand wedding.
He also promised to establish a Celestial Master Lecture Hall in the divine realm, allowing the realm of the gods to take a step forward.
From then on, although Su Ran did not belong to the pantheon of gods, he was revered as the first immortal god by the God Realm Committee and held the position of honorary chairman of the committee, becoming an unparalleled figure in the God Realm and admired by all the gods.
The Immortal Academy is always packed, with seats available on a first-come, first-served basis.
Every day, the number of students attending his lectures exceeds one hundred.
With their son-in-law Su Ran enjoying such glory, the fathers-in-law naturally felt elated, and their reputation in the divine realm gradually rose.
……
The realm of gods, Nine-Colored Mountain.
Green hills and clear waters, a hidden paradise.
What a magnificent nine-story, nine-colored pagoda, standing tall and imposing.
At the top of the tower, a nine-colored chessboard, more than three meters long and wide, is located in the center, with two rows of seats facing each other on either side.
The old man on the left wore an immaculate white robe, with white hair and beard. His long silver hair was neatly combed down his back. He had an ancient appearance, but his face was as delicate as a baby's. He exuded a solemn aura, as if he were the only one in the world.
Holding the white piece, he placed it with the force of a swift sword strike, converging into an extreme killing intent as it hurtled towards the black pieces.
The old man on the right is dressed in a black robe. He has an astonishingly large frame, and although his skin is withered, it is actually bronze in color.
He quickly placed a black piece, and instantly, the earth on the chessboard rose up, and bronze bones were cast into the sky, forming a skeletal Great Wall to block the white sword energy.
The white-robed elder launched an extremely powerful attack. With another move, he unleashed the power of the Nine Killing Divine Sword, a sword capable of splitting the heavens, and actually cleaved a gap in the Great Wall of Bronze Bones.
However, at this moment, the old man in black smiled strangely. When he placed the black piece, it transformed into thousands of bone soldiers, which swarmed up through the gap in the bronze bone Great Wall and stormed into the white piece's position.
The white-robed old man remained calm. Once he placed a chess piece in his hand, he placed it to the side of the broken wall, instantly forming a sword formation. Heavy sword energy surged forth like a tide, causing the bone soldiers to be thrown into chaos.
In an instant, the chessboard was filled with the glint of swords and the clash of spears, a scene of carnage and bloodshed!
A fierce divine power erupted from the chessboard, rippling outwards around the glazed pagoda.
After another loud hum, many of the white pieces on the chessboard began to shatter.
Upon seeing this, a middle-aged man in a blue robe with a gentle appearance quickly stepped forward and said with a smile:
"Uncle Sword, Uncle Bone, it seems you two are still evenly matched."
These three people are none other than Ning Rongrong's family members from the former senior sister of Peach Blossom Academy—her father Ning Fengzhi, and her two guardian grandfathers Chen Xin and Gu Rong.
Since Ning Rongrong attained godhood and became a support-type soul master, she defied the heavens and became the most powerful god in the god realm.
Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Gu Rong also received the baptism of the Peach Blossom Spring Immortal Flowers and Herbs, resulting in the evolution of their martial souls and the transformation of their physiques.
Later, Ning Fengzhi gained the favor of the Nine-Colored Goddess, became friends with her, and was granted a divine position in the Nine-Colored lineage, becoming a third-level god—the Nine-Colored Glazed God.
Chen Xin suddenly realized the power of sword virtue in water, fused the power of killing into water, passed through the Asura Road and the Hell Road, abandoned the path of the God of Slaughter, and under the guidance of the immortal master Su Ran, proved the position of Sword God, becoming a new first-level god in the God Realm.
Gu Ronghe, following Ning Rongrong's example, tempered his divine bones, achieving a copper-skinned, golden-boned form, becoming a second-level divine bone deity.
The deities of Peach Blossom Spring flourished in the divine realm, and their status naturally rose accordingly.
In the realm of the gods, all was peaceful. When there was nothing to do, the two could only use the nine-colored chessboard as their battlefield, playing chess pieces to pass the time.
Seeing the chess pieces scattered haphazardly on the board, Chen Xin felt a surge of anger rising within him:
"For a first-level god like me to play against a second-level god, losing is losing, so how can it be considered a draw?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Rong smiled smugly:
"It seems you, old swordsman, still have some self-awareness."
"You spineless coward, look at yourself! If you hadn't shamelessly gone to Master Su's academy to seek instruction, Master Su would have actually taught you a set of Thorn Counterattack Divine Skill. You, a mere second-level god, think you can compare to me?"
Chen Xin snorted coldly.
Gu Rong didn't take it seriously and retorted:
"Old Swordsman, you are mistaken. Didn't you also comprehend the sword heart of 'the highest good is like water' from this Immortal Master Su, which is why you became a first-level sword god? What's wrong with me humbly seeking knowledge and actively striving for improvement?"
"You old swordsman, if you can't beat them, you can't beat them, so why did you break their defense? Have some class, you're supposed to be the grandfather of the Supreme God, have some class."
Gu Rong laughed heartily. Life in the divine realm was simple and unadorned, and the only source of amusement was teasing Chen Xin.
"Strategic thinking? Come on, let's have a real fight. How can we see the real skill on this chessboard? I'll cut you down!"
Chen Xin suddenly stood up, a longsword, entirely silver-white, with a blood-red and a gold-blue pattern on the center of each side, appeared in his palm, ready to clash with Gu Rong on the spot.
Gu Rong scoffed, "I'm sitting right here. Do you dare to chop me up? If you're a brother, come and chop me up!"
That's what he said, but seeing the flowing golden patterns of thorns on the ancient banyan tree's outstretched hand, Chen Xin actually hesitated a bit.
The Thorn Armor that Gu Rong asked Master Su for was incredibly cunning; cutting him was like cutting yourself, and before he could even be seriously injured, you would be the one who succumbed.
Chen Xin has already suffered quite a few losses.
Seeing this, Ning Fengzhi quickly intervened to smooth things over:
"Uncle Jian, don't be impulsive. If you're going to fight, today is not the day. Have you forgotten that today is the day my beloved son-in-law is giving a lecture? If you fight, it will definitely be very loud. Just give my beloved son-in-law, Master Su, some face and don't disturb the peace of the school."
"Come, come, have some tea."
Ning Fengzhi poured two cups and placed them steadily in the hands of the two people.
Chen Xin took a sip of tea:
"For the sake of Master Su and Feng Zhi, I won't fight you today. How about we meet at Sword Mountain tomorrow?"
Gu Rong chuckled: "Fine, do you think I'd be afraid of you? If it weren't for Master Su's sake, telling me not to turn against you, would you even be standing here talking to me?"
"cut."
Seeing that the two had lost their aura and were just bickering, Ning Fengzhi felt relieved, though he felt a little sentimental.
Back in Douluo Continent, Sword and Bone were old rivals, and their feud didn't end there even in the God Realm.
However, I wonder how Rongrong and the others are doing in the Peach Blossom Spring world while Master Su is giving his lectures.
Just as she was thinking this, a melodious voice, like that of a phoenix, came from outside the glazed pagoda:
"Look at how indifferent Dad, Grandpa Sword, and Grandpa Bone are to Rongrong. They keep calling her 'Master Su,' and their eyes are full of that 'good' son-in-law. They don't miss Rongrong at all. Sigh, it's a shame that Rongrong even brought a gift. It's really heartbreaking."
A beautiful young woman, dressed in a pink robe and a golden crown, with a unique charm, slowly landed on the glazed pagoda.
Upon seeing this woman, the previously bickering Sword and Bone immediately lit up and stood up to greet her:
"Oh my, isn't this our little princess Rongrong?"
"Who says Grandpa doesn't miss Rongrong? We miss our little princess terribly. Life without Princess Rongrong is so dull and boring."
"But when we think of our Rongrong bringing honor to our ancestors, getting married, and living a blissful life with Master Su, and who knows, maybe she'll give Dad a healthy baby boy someday, we elders are naturally delighted and don't want to bother you."
Hearing this, Ning Rongrong sat sadly on the swing of the glazed pagoda. Only when she returned home could the young woman act coquettishly like a girl.
"I'm happy to have married my husband."
"However, having children is difficult; there's no such thing as a blissful, idyllic life." (End of Chapter)
