Ning Rongrong Breaks Through

"The patriarch of the Speed Clan is my Great Grandfather?"

Ye Feng was stunned by the news.

By that reckoning, didn't that mean he and Tang San were related in some extremely distant way?

He remembered that Bai He of the Speed Clan was Tang San's great-uncle, while Tang San's grandmother was Bai He's older sister.

This relationship is a bit complicated! Ye Feng secretly sighed.

"Because of a mutation in her Martial Soul, your mother was unwilling to remain in the clan and left the Speed Clan on her own."

"During her travels, she met your father. At his invitation, your mother also joined the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect..."

With Ning Fengzhi's explanation, Ye Feng finally learned about his parents' past.

"So, my Martial Soul didn't evolve—it experienced ancestral reversion?" Ye Feng asked.

"Yes." Bone Douluo nodded beside him.

"Ye Feng, after some time, I'd like to take you to the Speed Clan to acknowledge your relatives. After all, when it comes to understanding a Martial Soul like the Sharp-tailed Swallow, the Speed Clan knows it best." Ning Fengzhi asked.

"I'll listen to Teacher." Since Ning Fengzhi had put it that way, what else could Ye Feng do but agree?

After all, Ning Fengzhi seemed to be asking him, but he had actually already made the decision for him.

Of course, going to the Speed Clan would also benefit Ye Feng. Just as Ning Fengzhi had said, the Sharp-tailed Swallow was the Speed Clan's inherited Martial Soul.

No one understood the Sharp-tailed Swallow better than the Speed Clan.

On Douluo Continent, inherited Martial Souls had one advantage: there were established patterns to follow when choosing Soul Rings.

Although even those with the same Martial Soul could obtain different Soul Ring effects from the same type of soul beast, generally speaking, the differences were not too great.

This meant that through summarization and statistics, one could roughly determine the effects of one's own Soul Rings.

Just like the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, it too had its own inherited system.

"Alright then. Once I make the arrangements, we'll set off after some time," Ning Fengzhi said decisively.

Ning Fengzhi had plans for the Speed Clan. Back then, the Four Great Clans had been affiliated with the Clear Sky Sect and possessed considerable prestige.

Unfortunately, when the Clear Sky Sect sealed off its mountain, the Four Great Clans suffered grievous losses.

It was obvious that they had been the victims in this matter, having been abandoned by the Clear Sky Sect.

Therefore, even if he gathered all Four Great Clans under his wing, the Clear Sky Sect would have nothing to say about it in the future.

Ning Fengzhi had thought the matter through very clearly, both in terms of the bigger picture and moral justification.

"Dad, are you going out to have fun? I want to go too." Ning Rongrong clung to Ning Fengzhi's arm and began acting cute.

"Alright, alright, we'll go together." Ning Fengzhi spoke indulgently.

Over the next period of time, Ye Feng began working hard to adapt to the changes brought about by his Martial Soul Evolution.

Although the system could cultivate automatically, he still had to rely on himself if he wanted to fully bring out its potential.

Amid his busy cultivation, Ning Rongrong finally broke through to level ten and could absorb her first Soul Ring.

All told, it had taken Ning Rongrong more than two months to rise from level nine to level ten.

This speed was not slow. On the contrary, it could be called exceptionally fast.

"Haha, Brother Ye Feng, I've broken through to level ten! I can absorb a Soul Ring now!" After breaking through, Ning Rongrong happily jumped up and down.

"Congratulations, Rongrong. You'll soon become a Spirit Master," Ye Feng said happily as well.

Before obtaining a Soul Ring, one could only be called a Spirit Warrior. Only after absorbing a Soul Ring and reaching level eleven could one be called a Spirit Master.

"Hehe, once I become a Spirit Master, I'll be Brother Ye Feng's Support Spirit Master. Then we'll beat up Sword Grandpa together." Ning Rongrong waved her little fists, looking adorably fierce.

"Alright. Then Brother Ye Feng will protect you from now on," Ye Feng said dotingly.

Spending time with an adorable little girl like Ning Rongrong made Ye Feng feel especially happy.

Ning Rongrong was like a little sister to him—cute and mischievous.

"Hehe, I'm going to tell Dad, Bone Grandpa, and Sword Grandpa this good news." Ning Rongrong hurried over to Ye Feng, grabbed his hand, and pulled him outside.

"Slow down. Don't fall." With Ye Feng's reminder ringing out, the two left the simulated cultivation environment together.

When they found Ning Fengzhi and told him the good news, he also looked delighted.

"My Rongrong really is amazing. You broke through so quickly."

"Hehe, I really am amazing!" Ning Rongrong proudly lifted her chin, actually praising herself along with him.

"Haha, that's right. My Rongrong is the most amazing. How about this—tomorrow, I'll have Sword Grandpa accompany you to hunt for a Soul Ring." Ning Fengzhi pinched Ning Rongrong's nose and spoke with a doting expression.

"Will Brother Ye Feng come with me too?" Ning Rongrong turned to look at Ye Feng.

"Of course." Ye Feng nodded firmly.

Absorbing a Soul Ring was a major event. Although he could not help much, he still wanted to witness it.

"Mm, it would be good for you to get out and gain some experience. And there's no need to hurry back afterward—have Sword Grandpa take you two out for some training as well," Ning Fengzhi said.

"Alright, Teacher." Ye Feng's eyes lit up. If he could fight some different soul beasts, perhaps his Martial Soul's Evolution Progress could increase faster.

After his Martial Soul evolved into a Sharp-tailed Swallow, Ye Feng's Evolution Progress began to slow as well. Basically, he could only gain one point of Evolution Progress every ten days.

Of course, it would be best if he could speed up his Evolution Progress a little.

He also wanted to see what kind of soul beast his Martial Soul would evolve into once it reached its peak state.

Before long, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo received the news and came to Ning Rongrong.

"Haha, our Little Princess broke through so quickly? Congratulations, congratulations!" Sword Douluo said with a hearty laugh.

"Hehe, Sword Grandpa, Bone Grandpa, congratulations alone won't do. Aren't you two grandpas going to give Rongrong a little gift?" Ning Rongrong asked with a sly glint in her eyes.

Ever since receiving the Yin Yang Jade Pendant from Bone Grandpa and the Storage Soul Tool from Sword Douluo, Ning Rongrong had gotten a taste for it. She often tried every possible way to get things out of them.

The two Douluos' fine treasures had nearly been picked clean by Ning Rongrong.

"Haha, of course there must be a gift. I obtained this gemstone a few days ago. I'll give it to Rongrong as a gift for advancing."

Bone Douluo was amused by Ning Rongrong's expression. He was generous as well, directly taking out a beautiful gemstone from his robe and handing it to her.

"Hmph, what's so good about a gemstone? Rongrong, this is a little doll I prepared for you. It's lots of fun—it can even sing!" Not to be outdone, Sword Douluo quickly presented his own gift.

"Hehe, thank you, Grandpas." Ning Rongrong happily accepted the gifts, not forgetting to thank the two Douluos.

"Uncle Jian, Uncle Gu, stop spoiling Rongrong. Look at her—you're practically spoiling her into the heavens." Ning Fengzhi looked helplessly at the two Douluos.

It was precisely because they were around that whenever Ning Fengzhi wanted to discipline Ning Rongrong, he would be stopped.

Either this one stopped him or that one stopped him. In short, neither wanted Ning Rongrong to suffer even the slightest grievance.

"Hehehe!" Hearing Ning Fengzhi's words, Ning Rongrong smugly made a face at him. Her tiny body hid behind the two Douluos, clearly treating them as her shields.
