Treatment Plan

As Dugu Bo finished speaking, the hall fell silent.

Sword Douluo frowned slightly. "Dugu Bo, don't go too far. Even the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect doesn't know Rongrong's Soul Power..."

"It's alright, Sword Grandfather." Ning Rongrong spoke up, stopping Sword Douluo from continuing.

"If Dugu Mianxia is willing to come, it means he'll most likely join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. It doesn't matter if he learns some secrets."

Hearing Sword Douluo raise his voice, Dugu Bo's heart skipped a beat. Then, upon hearing Ning Rongrong's words, his expression became baffled.

Could it be that not many people knew the Soul Power of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Young Sect Master?

Dugu Bo had only casually asked about Ning Rongrong's Soul Power.

Dugu Yan had been curious, especially after learning that Ning Rongrong had so easily made Xue Beng lose face.

She had only just reached Level 21, and she was a Support Spirit Master.

By all rights, she should not have been a match for a Battle Soul Master in Martial Soul Possession, yet the unexpected had happened.

Just as Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan wondered how things would develop,

Ning Rongrong slowly raised her right hand. Her jade-like hand rested before her as her palm gradually opened.

A miniature pagoda condensed in her palm.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, the Martial Soul that had made the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect renowned across the Douluo Continent.

As the Young Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, it was only natural for her to possess the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul.

The next moment,

Dugu Bo abruptly rose to his feet.

His emerald green eyes narrowed slightly, and a look of horror appeared on his face.

"No... impossible!"

It was not just Dugu Bo. Even Dugu Yan widened her eyes, her body trembling faintly.

What had she seen?

A Soul Ring rose from beneath Ning Rongrong's feet.

Her first Soul Ring was actually purple.

"The first Soul Ring is a Thousand Year Soul Ring? How can that be possible?"

Before the two could recover from their shock,

a second Soul Ring rose beneath Ning Rongrong's feet, followed by a third.

"Th-three Soul Rings, all purple Thousand Year Soul Rings!"

"Y-you're a Soul Elder?"

Dugu Bo's mouth had gone dry. Even someone who had seen countless storms in life could not accept such a sight for the moment.

"That's right, Dugu Mianxia." Ning Rongrong was quite satisfied with Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan's expressions.

"No!" Dugu Bo came to his senses. "Meng Shenji said you were only a two-ring Soul Grandmaster. You shouldn't have Thousand Year Soul Rings either."

When he had been looking for Ning Rongrong earlier, he had asked Meng Shenji about some matters.

Meng Shenji had mentioned that Ning Rongrong was a two-ring Soul Grandmaster, personally verified by Xue Qinghe.

If Ning Rongrong's first and second Soul Rings had both been purple, Xue Ye could not possibly have been unaware.

And besides, could anyone really mistake the difference between two Soul Rings and three?

"Do you mean this?" Ning Rongrong's voice rang out. The third Soul Ring around the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda in her hand swiftly faded away, leaving only two rings.

"Or this?" Ning Rongrong continued speaking to herself.

The colors of the two purple Soul Rings began to change as well.

First, they became Hundred Year Spirit Rings, then white Ten Year Soul Rings.

Finally, the two Soul Rings vanished without a trace.

Ning Rongrong lowered the hand holding the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, and the pagoda floating before her slowly disappeared as well.

"This, this..."

Dugu Bo felt his scalp go numb. His shock was beyond words.

Two years... if he remembered correctly, Ning Rongrong had only awakened her Martial Soul two years ago.

A Soul Elder in two years?

"Hiss—" Dugu Bo sharply inhaled.

Out of the corner of his eye, Dugu Bo looked at Dugu Yan beside him.

At that moment, Dugu Yan stood frozen in place.

As her grandfather, Dugu Bo naturally understood what Dugu Yan was thinking.

What she had witnessed was not only shocking—it was also a tremendous blow.

She was seven or eight years older than Ning Rongrong, yet she was only a Soul Grandmaster. There was simply no comparison.

"Dugu Mianxia, Miss Dugu Yan, you probably know my Soul Power Level now," Ning Rongrong said.

"Other than my father, Ning Fengzhi, Sword Elder, and Bone Elder, not even my two older brothers know my true strength."

"You are the fourth and fifth people to learn of it!"

Ning Rongrong's voice pulled Dugu Bo back from his chaotic thoughts.

But when those words reached Dugu Bo's ears, cold sweat instantly soaked his back.

What did Ning Rongrong mean by that?

Surely she did not mean that he and Yan Yan were closer to her than her two brothers.

She had not even told her closest relatives, yet she had told the two of them.

After realizing this, Dugu Bo gave a bitter smile. "Young Sect Master Ning, it seems Yan Yan and I have no choice."

"There are plenty of choices." Ning Rongrong walked up to Dugu Bo and handed him a prepared sheet of paper.

"For example, you could take me hostage, then take Miss Dugu Yan on a killing spree and flee the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

"If I recall correctly, didn't Clear Sky Douluo of the Clear Sky Sect do something similar? His opponent was even the Pope of Spirit Hall."

Dugu Bo's hand paused as he took the paper Ning Rongrong handed him.

Before he could even read its contents, Ning Rongrong's shocking words had already stunned him.

Young Sect Master Ning of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, you really dared to say anything!

And did Dugu Bo have Tang Hao's strength?

Meanwhile, Ning Fengzhi and the other two were rendered speechless by Ning Rongrong's words.

As the Young Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, she was actually helping Dugu Bo think of a way to escape the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

And the plan was this outrageous—sending Dugu Bo on a killing spree.

They knew Ning Rongrong could be unreliable at times, but they had not expected her to be this unreliable.

"Dugu Mianxia, I've summarized three treatment plans on that paper that can prevent the poison in your body from acting up. Please have a look. The specifics will require a certain degree of fine adjustment."

"With Mianxia's experience, you should be able to judge whether the three plans are feasible, right?"

After saying that, Ning Rongrong stepped back to Ning Fengzhi's side and quietly waited for Dugu Bo to finish reading the three plans.

Out of curiosity, Dugu Bo quickly read through the contents of the paper.

But the more he read, the more alarmed he became!

He even vaguely felt that all three plans were viable.

"Grandfather, are you alright?"

Dugu Bo's constantly changing expression made Dugu Yan quite worried.

"I'm fine, Yan Yan." Dugu Bo took a deep breath, his chest rising and falling as he calmed himself.

Dugu Bo had finished reading all three plans on the paper, though he had only gained a general understanding.

Based on Dugu Bo's knowledge of poison, two of the three plans were theoretically feasible.

But he could not quite understand the best plan.

Dugu Bo also understood that, having learned so many secrets of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect,

he definitely would not be allowed to leave if he refused to join. Yet he did not feel much resistance to it.

Because he truly believed that his and Dugu Yan's poison could receive proper treatment in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

"Young Sect Master Ning, those are my treatment plans. What about my granddaughter Dugu Yan's?"

"I mean, which one do you recommend?"

After being in the hall for so long, Dugu Bo had roughly understood that the negotiation itself was only between him and Ning Rongrong.

Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin, and Gu Rong were merely there to support Ning Rongrong.
