Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Sect Master's Residence

Ning Fengzhi sat in the seat of honor, raised his teacup, and took a light sip.

Two elderly men sat upright in the seats beside him.

One of them had white hair and a youthful face, sword-like brows and bright eyes. He was none other than Sword Douluo Chen Xin, whom Su He had just met.

The other elder had a withered face, shriveled muscles, and deeply sunken eye sockets. He was not the kind of burly man with massively swollen muscles, yet his entire skeletal frame was astonishingly large, as though his clothes were supported solely by his bones.

This man was one of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's guardian deities, Bone Douluo Gu Rong. His martial soul was the Bone Dragon.

Bone Douluo was slightly weaker than Sword Douluo Chen Xin. He was a level ninety-five defense-type Titled Douluo, and due to the peculiar nature of his Bone Dragon martial soul, he was hailed as the most unpredictable and troublesome existence among Titled Douluo.

It was precisely because of Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Bone Douluo Gu Rong that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect could firmly suppress the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, which had only one Titled Douluo, and secure its position as the second of the Upper Three Sects.

"What does Uncle Sword think of Su He?" Ning Fengzhi took another sip of tea and asked slowly.

"Top-tier talent, neither arrogant nor impetuous," Sword Douluo said. "However, he is far too slick. He does not seem like a twelve-year-old child."

"Oh? A junior actually received such an appraisal from that old sword bastard?" Bone Douluo Gu Rong, seated nearby, seemed rather surprised.

One had to know that Sword Douluo was generally stern and unsmiling even toward the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's geniuses. Only before the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's little witch, Ning Rongrong, would he put on the appearance of a kindly old man.

The two Titled Douluo truly doted on Ning Rongrong as though she were their own granddaughter. This had also fostered her willful temperament. In the Original Work, when Ning Rongrong revealed her little witch nature at Shrek Academy, it had caused quite a stir.

"Indeed. Su He is worthy of being called a peerless genius of his generation," Ning Fengzhi said calmly. "Uncle Bone has not met Su He yet. When an opportunity arises, I shall let Uncle Bone take a look at that little fellow. If both Uncle Sword and Uncle Bone are satisfied, we can bring up the matter of a marriage alliance."

"Rongrong is not even seven yet. Fengzhi, isn't this a little too hasty?"

Gu Rong merely frowned and said nothing, while Sword Douluo beside him directly voiced his opinion.

The two of them truly adored little Ning Rongrong. It could be considered her good fortune.

At this moment, Su He had no idea that three important figures in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect were discussing him. He was still coaxing Qian Renxue.

"He'er, what kind of person do you think Ning Fengzhi is?" Qian Renxue was by no means an unreasonable, spoiled woman. After briefly acting cute, she began discussing serious matters.

"This man is extremely frightening. Although he only has level seventy-nine Soul Power, the threat he gives off is far greater than that of Sword Douluo beside him," Su He answered after pondering for a moment.

"If Sword Douluo wants to kill someone, he uses his sword. But if Ning Fengzhi wants to kill someone, he does it invisibly. Fortunately, he is a merchant who puts profit above all else. We can try cooperating with him in the future."

"Well said."

Qian Renxue said, "Ning Fengzhi must have known long ago that I was behind the deaths of the two princes, yet he still supports me becoming Crown Prince. Clearly, this serves his interests, or rather, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's interests."

"We can naturally make use of his pursuit of profit as well." Su He smiled faintly and spoke mysteriously. He still held the greatest trump card for restraining the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. It could not be played until the critical moment.

After the little interlude with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Su He thought of a peculiar martial soul.

Its name was Nine Heart Begonia.

It was Ye Lingling's martial soul in the Original Work, and it could be called the most powerful healing and support-type martial soul in the world.

At present, there were only two people with the Nine Heart Begonia martial soul. One was Ye Lingling, while the other was her grandfather, Saint Ye Renxin, also known as the Medical Saint.

His healing arts had reached perfection, and his level had already reached seventy-eight two years ago.

If not for its single-line inheritance trait, identical to the Seven Kill Sword, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would not have been able to hold onto its title as the world's number one support-type sect.

Speaking of Ye Lingling, she was currently studying at Heaven Dou Royal Academy, and Su He had met her several times.

As for Saint Ye Renxin, he had traveled far and wide to treat the sick and save lives. News of him practicing medicine across the land had often spread in the past, but for some unknown reason, no news of him had appeared anywhere on the continent since two years ago.

Su He could ask Ye Lingling about Ye Renxin's whereabouts and see whether he could draw the latter into Spirit Hall.

Returning to the cultivation room, Su He began studying the Primordial Evil God Orb dropped after the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's death.

This was the greatest gain from his last soul ring hunt.

Gray and cyan streams of air swirled around the pitch-black orb. Su He sat cross-legged and closed his eyes, extending his Spiritual Power toward the Primordial Evil God Orb.

However, the moment his Spiritual Power touched the orb and attempted to explore it, he immediately felt a stabbing pain in his mind.

It was the pure evil and Darkness Power on the orb at work!

Su He frowned and chose to activate the Indestructible Golden Body before trying again.

The Indestructible Golden Body was a supreme art that Golden Crocodile Douluo had spent his entire life researching, and he had passed it all on to Su He. This art gave soul masters tremendous advantages in defense. Not only could it enhance physical defense, but it could also greatly improve mental resistance.

After activating the Indestructible Golden Body, Su He's Spiritual Power was like a beast smashing through a glass barrier, charging violently into the Primordial Evil God Orb and leaving shards of glass scattered across the ground.

Su He had originally prepared himself to face the lingering resentment and soul power of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, but he had never expected the space within the orb to be astonishingly calm.

The orb was filled with vast amounts of the primordial powers controlled by the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger.

The most wicked power of evil, the roaring power of lightning, the howling power of wind, the unfathomable power of darkness.

As well as the untraceable powers of time and space.

Su He was deeply shocked by the power contained within the orb. No wonder that after the orb crossed time and space to reach the Vast Continent and was obtained by Zhou Weiqing, the protagonist of Heavenly Jewel Change, becoming his Natal Pearl, he had achieved so much.

Any one of these attributes would have been an incomparably powerful attribute on Douluo Continent, a fortuitous opportunity that could only be encountered by chance.

It made Su He keenly realize just how fortunate he was.

After obtaining the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger's soul ring, Su He's physical constitution had improved. With the Fourth Spirit Skill's enhancement, he could also use Dark Demon Evil Lightning and wield some basic spatial attributes.

Therefore, the first things Su He began comprehending were the evil and lightning attributes contained within Dark Demon Evil Lightning, along with the spatial attribute he had already explored.

Comprehending these three attributes first would bring the most obvious improvements to Su He. At the same time, he was advancing based on prior experience, making the results even more pronounced.

If he chose the other attributes, it would be equivalent to learning from scratch. Not only would he see little progress in the short term, but the difficulty would increase exponentially.

The author's birthday is on the twenty-first. There have been many matters to deal with these past two days, so there will be only one update per day!

Please forgive me, readers! Thank you very much!

Updates will resume after the twenty-first.
