Sword and Pagoda

Sword and Pagoda

Inside a Secret Chamber of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

"Child, close your eyes and carefully sense the martial soul within your body!"

A gentle voice reached Ning Tianchen's ears.

"I wonder what kind of martial soul I'll awaken? Will it be the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda?"

Ning Tianchen had originally been an office drone on Blue Star, but by a fortunate twist of fate, he had arrived on Douluo Continent.

He had been here for a month already. The original owner of this body had merely been an ordinary Inner Sect Disciple of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Because he knew that Ning Rongrong would become a god in the future, he had forged a deep friendship with her over the past month.

After all, when he was unsure of his own talent, clinging to someone powerful would at least ensure he never lacked food or clothing.

In the eyes of outsiders, Ning Rongrong was a little demoness who only knew how to fool around. But before Ning Tianchen, she was a well-behaved and sensible little girl.

"Go, Tianchen Gege! Rong Rong believes in you." Six-year-old Ning Rongrong waved her tiny fists and spoke in a sweet, childish voice.

Just moments ago, she had already awakened her martial soul.

Her martial soul was the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, and her Innate Soul Power had reached level nine.

Ning Fengzhi, who was watching the awakening ceremony nearby, had even declared that he would name Ning Rongrong the Young Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Ning Tianchen instinctively extended both hands.

"This child... A Spirit Master only has one martial soul. One hand is enough." Ning Fengzhi shook his head slightly, treating it as a bit of amusement.

Twin Martial Souls had indeed appeared among Spirit Masters on the continent, but the odds were exceedingly small.

As a Ning family disciple of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Tianchen would, barring any surprises, awaken the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda Spirit.

If his Innate Soul Power was decent, then given his relationship with Ning Rongrong, Ning Fengzhi might place special emphasis on nurturing him.

The next moment, a dazzling light burst from Ning Tianchen's hands.

"This child!"

All of a sudden, Chen Xin felt an inexplicable sense of closeness toward Ning Tianchen.

Was it an illusion?

"I have Twin Martial Souls!"

The moment his martial souls were born, Ning Tianchen received the information in his mind.

A silver sword-type martial soul appeared in his right hand, while a glazed pagoda martial soul appeared in his left.

Chen Xin: "Seven Kill Sword!"

Ning Fengzhi: "Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda!"

"Twin Martial Souls." The two exchanged glances, their astonishment impossible to conceal.

Gu Rong urged loudly, "What are you standing around for? Hurry up and test his Innate Soul Power!"

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect deacon responsible for awakening martial souls recovered from his brief shock.

He hurriedly took out a Spirit Power Crystal Ball and handed it to Ning Tianchen.

"Child, use your mind to put away your martial souls. Place your hand on the crystal ball. Next, we'll test your Soul Power."

From the moment the Seven Kill Sword Spirit appeared, Ning Tianchen's Innate Soul Power was destined not to be low.

Ning Tianchen extended his right hand. The instant his palm touched the crystal ball, brilliant blue light illuminated the entire Secret Chamber.

The radiance was even greater than the commotion caused when Ning Rongrong had awakened her martial soul.

Ning Fengzhi strode forward, placed both hands on Ning Tianchen's shoulders, and said excitedly, "This is Innate Full Soul Power! Child, are you willing to join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"

"Huh?" Ning Tianchen's gaze went blank.

Ning Fengzhi had really misspoken badly.

Gu Rong coughed lightly and came to his rescue. "Fengzhi, Tianchen is already a sect disciple. There is no need for this. His talent is enough for the sect to nurture him with all its strength. However, among the records of the continent, there has never been a case of someone with Twin Martial Souls successfully cultivating them."

"Which martial soul he should cultivate truly requires careful consideration."

Without nearly any thought, Chen Xin blurted out, "The Seven Kill Sword."

There was no other reason. He had no children in his life. Without any accidents, the Seven Kill Sword would completely vanish from the continent after his death. Ning Tianchen awakening the Seven Kill Sword Spirit meant that this martial soul still had a legacy.

Realizing his lapse, Ning Fengzhi silently nodded.

Ning Tianchen possessed Innate Full Soul Power. If he cultivated the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda Spirit, his future would only be fixed at level seventy-nine. But if he cultivated the Seven Kill Sword, he would not face such a bottleneck.

Of course, Ning Fengzhi also wanted to see whether, after the Seven Kill Sword Spirit reached Nine Rings, adding soul rings to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda could break the shackles of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda Spirit!

"Father, is Tianchen Gege's talent even greater than Rong Rong's?"

Ning Rongrong clutched Ning Fengzhi's sleeve and spoke in her sweet, childish voice.

"Yes. You are a genius the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect sees once in a hundred years, while he is a genius it sees only once in a thousand years." Ning Fengzhi beamed and praised him without reservation.

"Tianchen, starting tomorrow, cultivate together with Rong Rong. As for which martial soul you will cultivate, follow Sword Uncle's advice and cultivate the Seven Kill Sword."

"Sect Master, I will definitely work hard." Ning Tianchen bowed slightly and cupped his hands.

As a transmigrator, he naturally knew that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was the wealthiest sect on the entire continent.

Ning Fengzhi's words clearly implied that he would devote the sect's resources to Ning Tianchen.

With the sect's full support, Ning Tianchen would pursue a higher realm no matter what.

Ning Fengzhi smiled warmly and stroked Ning Rongrong's forehead. "Rong Rong, go play with Tianchen first."

"Tianchen Gege, you're amazing." Ning Rongrong held Ning Tianchen's little hand, the smile on her face growing even brighter.

Ning Tianchen stroked her forehead and said softly,

"Rong Rong, we've already awakened our martial souls. From now on, we need to cultivate properly. I will cultivate the Seven Kill Sword Spirit, while you will cultivate the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda Spirit. In the future, there may be a period when we cannot see each other."

Ning Rongrong blinked. "Tianchen Gege, don't you also have the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda Spirit? Cultivate the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda Spirit together with Rong Rong."

Ning Tianchen gave a bitter smile and shook his head.

What the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect needed was a Battle Spirit Master, and a Battle Spirit Master from the Ning family was far too significant to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. It was not something he could decide.

Besides, he was unwilling to become a Support System Spirit Master who could only hide behind others. A man should carry a sword and roam the world.

Yet why had he awakened the Seven Kill Sword Spirit? Ning Tianchen had no way of knowing.

The original owner's parents had died during a mission. But neither of them had possessed the Seven Kill Sword Spirit, or even any sword-type martial soul.

Could it be that his cheap father had been cuckolded by Chen Xin?

Ning Rongrong pouted. "Fine. But today, you have to play with Rong Rong. A new candy shop opened in Heaven Dou City, and Rong Rong wants candy."

Inside the Secret Chamber.

Ning Fengzhi instructed, "What happened today stays in your stomach."

The deacon responsible for awakening martial souls nodded frantically.

"Alright, go collect your reward from the sect treasury. Tianchen awakened Innate Full Soul Power, so you deserve credit as well."

After the deacon left, Gu Rong and Ning Fengzhi both turned their gazes toward Chen Xin.

"Not bad, Old Sword Man. The Seven Kill Sword Lineage finally has a successor." Gu Rong patted his shoulder, a wicked smile appearing on his face.

Ning Fengzhi said helplessly, "Sword Uncle, if you had taken a liking to any disciple in the sect, you could have simply told me. Why hide it?"

"Tianchen's father was a meritorious member of the sect. Now that Tianchen has awakened the Seven Kill Sword Spirit, this matter certainly cannot be concealed. Sigh..."

Chen Xin frowned slightly and defended himself. "Old Bone, Sect Master. This old man has always kept himself clean and has never had any relationship with a woman of the sect."
