Ning Fengzhi's Choice

Ye Xiaobao knew that even if he refused to admit it, Ning Fengzhi had already decided that he was connected to that Titled Douluo expert.

Although he himself was the Titled Douluo Ning Fengzhi had mentioned.

After thinking for a moment, he spoke.

"Then Sect Master Ning has truly misunderstood. Perhaps it was just a coincidence. Still, I wonder why Sect Master Ning has come to find a mere student of Heaven Dou Royal Academy. What important matter do you have?"

Ning Fengzhi did not dwell on it and continued.

"Then I'll be direct. Since you are with Spirit Hall, young friend, would you be willing to discuss a cooperation with me?"

Not a trace of expression appeared on Ye Xiaobao's face. He merely listened quietly.

Ning Fengzhi had not expected Ye Xiaobao to be so composed, and he became somewhat more serious.

"Spirit Hall destroyed the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect last time. I suspect that their next target will be either the Clear Sky Sect or the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

After saying that, Ning Fengzhi looked at Ye Xiaobao, only to find that his face remained expressionless.

What did he mean?

Ning Fengzhi was already feeling a little awkward.

"Young friend, my coming here in person already represents the sincerity of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Are you truly unmoved?"

Ye Xiaobao stretched lazily and crossed one leg over the other.

"Sect Master Ning, you can say whatever you mean directly. There's no need to beat around the bush."

He simply wanted to see what Ning Fengzhi's true purpose was.

Bone Douluo's expression immediately turned cold behind Ning Fengzhi, and he rebuked him.

"Brat, are you looking to die?"

"Uncle Bone..." Ning Fengzhi said as he shook his head at Bone Douluo.

He knew that although the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect currently had two Titled Douluo, if they truly faced Spirit Hall, their chances of victory would be zero.

Besides, the Heaven Dou Empire would be delighted for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and Spirit Hall to clash.

Only then could it completely absorb the continent's number one support-system martial soul.

"Young friend Ye, it seems you are a straightforward person, so I'll speak plainly."

After saying that, he paused. As though he had made some enormous decision, he continued.

"My Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is willing to advance and retreat alongside Spirit Hall, helping Spirit Hall unify the continent!"

Ye Xiaobao narrowed his eyes slightly. He had not expected Ning Fengzhi to be so clever.

He had actually guessed Spirit Hall's intentions completely.

He lowered his leg, straightened his posture, and said in a deep voice.

"Sect Master Ning, don't joke around. Spirit Hall has no intention of unifying the continent. It's only that..."

Ning Fengzhi became somewhat anxious as well.

"Only that what?"

Ye Xiaobao smiled.

"Only that the Clear Sky Sect injured Spirit Hall's four great elders for the sake of a soul beast. Coupled with the death of the previous Pope, I think the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect should draw a clear line between itself and them. What do you think?"

Ning Fengzhi froze where he stood after hearing this.

Drawing a clear line with the Clear Sky Sect would mean truly tying themselves to Spirit Hall's warship.

They might even have to help Spirit Hall attack the Clear Sky Sect.

"Then what benefits would my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect receive?"

Hearing Ning Fengzhi's question, Ye Xiaobao spread his hands.

"Sect Master Ning, I'm merely offering you advice as a student of Heaven Dou Royal Academy."

He then explained.

"I have no connection with Spirit Hall, but if the Clear Sky Sect is destroyed, wouldn't your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect become the number one sect in the world?"

Ning Fengzhi's gaze suddenly deepened as he stared fixedly at Ye Xiaobao, as though trying to see through him.

Before long, his expression softened, and he smiled.

"Young friend, your words make great sense. I will consider it carefully. I'll take my leave first."

"Sect Master Ning, then I won't keep you. Let me see you out."

After leaving Ye Xiaobao's home, Ning Fengzhi walked down the road with a grave expression.

Bone Douluo followed behind him. Several times, he wanted to speak, but held it back.

Finally, Bone Douluo could not restrain himself any longer.

"Fengzhi, what exactly are you thinking? Could it be that you truly intend to..."

"Uncle Bone, do I still have a choice? You saw it too. Right now, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect bears the name of one of the upper three sects and appears incomparably glorious, but in Spirit Hall's eyes, we are merely lambs waiting for slaughter."

After saying that, Ning Fengzhi let out a heavy sigh.

"That brat is some kind of monster. At such a young age, he already has such deep schemes. I even used the prospect of siding with Spirit Hall to test him, yet I still failed to gain even the slightest advantage."

"Ah!"

Seeing Ning Fengzhi so discouraged, Bone Douluo's face turned fierce.

"Fengzhi, why don't we contact the Clear Sky Sect and have them come out of seclusion? With the combined strength of our two sects, we may not need to fear Spirit Hall!"

Ning Fengzhi shook his head. He neither agreed nor refused, merely saying faintly.

"I'll consider it further..."

Meanwhile, back in the house.

Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo had both arrived in the living room.

"Xiaobao, why did you refuse Ning Fengzhi's cooperation?"

Chrysanthemum Douluo asked. Gui Mei also wore a puzzled expression.

The two of them had previously regarded Ye Xiaobao as a junior.

But after the last battle, they had both clearly realized that Ye Xiaobao was already an expert no weaker than themselves.

Thus, they had willingly been assigned to follow him.

Ye Xiaobao slowly spoke.

"It's simple. Because I want to force the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to draw a clear line with the Clear Sky Sect. Otherwise, I'll destroy the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect first!"

Chrysanthemum Ghost Douluo were both aghast. They had not expected Ye Xiaobao to speak with such audacity.

That was the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, a sect whose inheritance stretched back who knew how many years.

Sword and Bone Douluo, along with Ning Fengzhi's support, were not comparable to Yu Yuanzhen alone.

Seeing that the two elders were somewhat shocked, Ye Xiaobao did not explain further. He turned and headed back to his room.

If the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect failed to recognize what was good for them, then they could only be sent underground to become heroes.

He did not want the Clear Sky Sect and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect joining forces against Spirit Hall.

Moreover, once he obtained his first Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring,

he was confident he could defeat Sword Douluo.

But a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Ring...

Damn Tang Hao.

Early the next morning.

The sun had just risen, and the sky was still dim.

Qin Ming came early to notify Ye Xiaobao.

"Xiaobao, today we're helping the former Shrek Academy students who just arrived at the academy hunt soul rings, and we'll take the team out for training while we're at it. Are you coming along?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Xiaobao guessed that Shrek's Oscar was going to obtain a soul ring, so he asked.

"Teacher Qin Ming, is it your alma mater, Shrek?"

Qin Ming nodded proudly.

"Yes, it's my alma mater. I heard you had returned, so I came to ask you."

Ye Xiaobao agreed at once.

He remembered that when Oscar obtained his soul ring, Tang San would also gain an External Soul Bone.

It would greatly strengthen Tang San in the early stages.

Besides, he also wanted to try his luck.

At the same time, in the core region of the Star Dou Great Forest.

"Third Brother, how about we stop for today? I think you're about to reach your limit."

"Xiao Wu, don't worry. I can still hold on."

"I have to work hard. I have to become stronger."

Tang San stood beneath a waterfall, continuously swinging the Haotian Hammer.

What he was using was the Clear Sky Sect's Chaotic Cape Hammer Technique.

Tang Hao watched from the side with satisfaction. After Tang San finished practicing, Tang Hao stepped forward and said approvingly.

"Not bad, Little San. Your Chaotic Cape Hammer Technique is already quite proficient. Your cultivation speed is actually even faster than mine was back then."

"But you must not slack off. I have something to take care of, so I'll be leaving for a while. You two can remain in the Star Dou Great Forest."

Tang San looked anxious as he urgently asked.

"Father, where are you going?"

Tang Hao pondered for a long time.

"Little San, since things have come to this, I won't hide it from you any longer. Your mother was also a soul beast!"
