"Rongrong, weren't you studying at Shrek Academy? Why did you suddenly come back?" Ning Fengzhi asked in surprise.
"Rongrong, have you lost weight? Come, let Grandpa Jian take a look." Sword Douluo's face was full of kindness. He looked nothing like the formidable Titled Douluo who had once dominated Douluo Continent.
"Dad, Grandpa Jian, have you heard?" Ning Rongrong shook the white jade token in her hand. "When our teacher led us to Star Dou Forest to hunt for soul rings..."
"What?!"
Sword Douluo's expression abruptly changed. "Rongrong, are you all right?"
"Rongrong is standing here perfectly fine, so of course I'm all right." Ning Rongrong blinked her large eyes. "Grandpa Jian, were you hoping something would happen to me?"
"How could that be? Grandpa Jian loves you too much for that."
It was not only Sword Douluo. As Ning Fengzhi listened to Ning Rongrong's account, his heart pounded wildly as well. Ning Rongrong was his greatest weakness; no matter what, he could not let anything happen to her.
He had never expected something so terrifying to happen to her. If that Your Excellency had decided to kill her to silence her, then he...
Sword Douluo shuddered violently. He did not dare think any further.
Looking at Ning Rongrong's adorable appearance, he could not imagine how he would endure the long years ahead if he lost her.
After a pause, Ning Fengzhi asked solemnly, "Uncle Jian, have you ever heard of such a young female Titled Douluo on Douluo Continent?"
"Across all of Douluo Continent, apart from that one on Sea God Island, only that one from Spirit Hall is a female Titled Douluo. As for a Titled Douluo that young, I have never heard of one or seen one."
In the end, Sword Douluo pondered, "Perhaps she has some method to preserve her youth and takes good care of herself."
Ning Fengzhi nodded in agreement. Two Titled Douluo in their twenties appearing out of nowhere was something he simply could not believe.
Throughout the history of Douluo Continent, there had never been Titled Douluo so young. It was simply too inconceivable.
"Rongrong, where is the token? Let Uncle Jian have a look."
"Here, Grandpa Jian."
The moment Sword Douluo took the token Ning Rongrong handed over, he flew out of the hall. Terrifying Soul Power suddenly erupted, and countless strands of Sword Intent began to resonate.
Sword qi like a raging storm finally condensed into a longsword and struck toward the white jade token.
This was the Way of the Sword Sword Douluo had comprehended.
The longsword collided with the white token, setting off a terrifying explosion.
A violent gust spread outward from the center of the blast, lifting the palace tiles into the air.
"What happened?"
Bone Douluo, who had been in seclusion, was abruptly jolted awake. What kind of opponent had Sword Douluo encountered within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect that he needed to strike with his full strength?
In the next instant, he flew toward the center of the explosion.
"It's actually completely unharmed, without even the slightest damage!" Sword Douluo stared in shock. How was that possible?!
Ning Fengzhi stepped out of the hall. He had witnessed the fierce collision just now, and his expression grew even more solemn.
Sword Douluo was known as the number one attacker on Douluo Continent.
Even ordinary Titled Douluo could not withstand a strike from his sword, yet that white jade token had remained completely intact.
How could that not be shocking?!
Just what material was this white token made of?
"Sword bastard, are you trying to tear down the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?" Bone Douluo roared as he rushed over after hearing the explosion.
In the blink of an eye, Bone Douluo spotted the white jade token. Curious, he asked, "What is this? It was right at the center of the explosion, so how is it still completely fine?"
Although he often bickered with that sword bastard, he had always acknowledged the sword bastard's attack power.
"What material is this white jade token made of?"
"Grandpa Jian, I didn't lie to you, did I?" Ning Rongrong said happily. "That Your Excellency is truly incredible. It isn't strange for her to possess a token like this."
Ning Fengzhi pressed on, "Rongrong, other than the white jade token, what else do you know?"
"Dad, after I received this token, some information appeared in my mind."
"Simply put, it is an Invitation Token from the Myriad Realms Auction Pavilion. Only those who possess it are qualified to attend the Myriad Realms Auction Pavilion's auction."
"Also, we tested it. Only the token's owner receives the information upon obtaining it. If anyone else gets it, it is merely an ordinary token and contains no information."
"What?"
"This is completely outrageous."
Bone Douluo felt as though his worldview had been overturned. What kind of faction would use such a material to make an invitation token? That was far too extravagant!
Across all of Douluo Continent, there were not many materials that that sword bastard could not split apart!
Had the Myriad Realms Auction Pavilion gone mad? What was it trying to do?
Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi picked up the token from the ground and held it in his hand. He only felt a chilly aura, with nothing else unusual about it.
Yet how could he simply assume it was an ordinary token?
Even Sword Douluo could not cut through it. This material alone was priceless.
"Uncle Jian, Uncle Gu, it seems we need to pay the Myriad Realms Auction Pavilion a visit."
"Sect Master, absolutely not."
Sword Douluo had yet to recover from the shock brought by the white jade token when he heard Ning Fengzhi's words and hurriedly stopped him.
"This Myriad Realms Auction Pavilion, along with the two Titled Douluo Rongrong mentioned, are far too strange."
"Moreover, the Myriad Realms Auction Pavilion is located in Spirit City, where it is difficult to distinguish friend from foe."
"As the saying goes, a gentleman does not stand beneath a crumbling wall. Sect Master, you bear great responsibilities, and Rongrong is still young."
"If this is a scheme by Spirit Hall, and something unexpected happens in Spirit City, what will become of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect? What will become of Rongrong?"
Ning Fengzhi asked in return, "Uncle Jian, have you ever seen those two young Titled Douluo in Spirit Hall?"
"Besides, even with Spirit Hall's foundation, I fear it could not produce such precious material for an invitation token."
Then Ning Fengzhi smiled. "Besides, with Uncle Jian accompanying me, even if something unexpected happens, we can still retreat safely."
"Fine, then I'll listen to the Sect Master." Sword Douluo said righteously, "I also want to see what medicine the Myriad Realms Auction Pavilion is selling."
"Treasure from myriad realms, Martial Soul Evolution, Self-Created Spirit—I simply do not believe it."
Ning Fengzhi chuckled. Under normal circumstances, if he encountered such claims, he would only treat them as a joke.
Yet the recent rumors from Spirit City, along with the token in Ning Rongrong's hand, had all left him stunned.
"Perhaps we may find a way to improve the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda at the Myriad Realms Auction Pavilion."
"This had also been a burden on his heart for many years. As the sect master of one of the Three Upper Sects, he had been unable to break through Rank Eighty and become a Soul Douluo."
"According to the sect's records, an ancestor had successfully evolved the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul. However, the method had been lost over the years. Even after exhausting his efforts for so long, he had still been unable to break through."
"Dad, Grandpa Jian, I want to go too!" Ning Rongrong cheered, waving her hands excitedly.
Ning Fengzhi said seriously, "Rongrong, listen to Dad. Study properly at Shrek Academy. Your Grandpa Jian and I will first go to Spirit City and see what the situation is."
