The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was not slow to act either.
On the third day after Su Wen appeared at the Great Soul Arena, he was informed by the staff upon arriving that someone wished to meet him.
Quite a few people had wanted to meet Su Wen over the past two days. After all, he possessed a Thousand-Year Second Soul Ring. However, the staff did not help fulfill just anyone's request.
After pressing the staff for answers, Su Wen learned the other party's identity.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
The reason they had come a day late was not that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's intelligence was behind the times, nor that they did not take Su Wen seriously enough.
Su Wen was incredibly surprised, because the person meeting him this time was the Sect Leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Fengzhi.
The Sect Leader had come personally to meet him. That showed the other party's sincerity.
"Su Wen, I am the Sect Leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Fengzhi."
"Greetings, Sect Leader Ning."
Looking at the unflustered eleven-year-old boy before him, Ning Fengzhi sighed inwardly.
He waved his hand and said, "I am also the current Crown Prince's teacher. I spoke with the Crown Prince yesterday, and we happened to talk about you. He said you called him Big Brother Xue. Since that's the case, you can call me Uncle Ning."
Su Wen felt quite moved upon hearing this.
As expected of the man who could develop the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect into a powerful force.
"Hello, Uncle Ning."
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was fabulously wealthy and the richest sect on the entire Douluo Continent. Naturally, Su Wen would not refuse the chance to grow closer to its Sect Leader.
"Mm." Ning Fengzhi's expression was gentle, and a trace of a smile appeared on his face. "In that case, I'll call you Xiao Wen from now on."
He paused. Instead of immediately revealing his true purpose for coming, he first asked whether Su Wen's cultivation at the academy was going smoothly.
"I won't say anything else about my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, but when it comes to collecting cultivation experience for all kinds of Martial Souls, we are the most comprehensive."
Ning Fengzhi could guarantee this with complete confidence.
That was because the true direct-line disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Soul Masters, were all Support System Soul Masters who needed Battle Soul Masters to protect them. The various Power Attack System, Defense System, and Control System Soul Masters recruited by the sect were extraordinarily diverse.
As for nurturing these Soul Masters, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was also able to provide support no less vigorous than that of other sects or clans. This showed the depth of its foundation.
On the entire Douluo Continent, aside from Spirit Hall, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was probably the faction with the deepest research into Martial Soul cultivation.
In certain areas, such as Martial Soul Evolution, Spirit Hall might not even be able to surpass the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
"With Teacher Xiao Zhan and Teacher Qin Ming guiding me, my cultivation in all aspects has been going very smoothly." Su Wen did not take advantage of the opening to ask for more. It was their first meeting, so it would not be convenient to take too much.
He would first reap some benefits regarding the details of the Thousand-Year Second Soul Ring. There was no need to rush the rest; he would have plenty of opportunities in the future.
The main idea was to let the stream flow steadily.
"Xiao Wen, I heard that your Second Soul Ring is a Thousand Year Soul Ring. Could you let Uncle Ning have a look?" Ning Fengzhi asked.
Su Wen nodded readily. "Uncle Ning, what are you saying? It's only a matter of releasing my soul ring."
He summoned his Martial Soul. The dazzling Heavenly Book floated before him, and two soul rings—one yellow and one purple—rose from beneath his feet, slowly pulsing around his body.
Ning Fengzhi's gaze fixed on the second soul ring.
Purple!
However, he did not lose his composure. After observing the Second Ring, his attention focused mainly on Su Wen's Martial Soul itself.
Only when he saw the Book Martial Soul, covered in dazzling purple patterns and radiating a unique aura, did his expression change.
It seemed to move him even more than witnessing the Thousand-Year Second Ring itself.
"Your Martial Soul has been developed to a very high degree. It's perfect!"
Within just two days, Ning Fengzhi had already investigated Su Wen's records registered with Spirit Hall.
Although Spirit Hall had kept many details about Su Wen's movements and his admission into Spirit Hall confidential, it had not concealed the registration records of every advancement from the moment Su Wen awakened his Martial Soul until now.
The more one changed, the more mistakes one made.
The more things were altered, the more flaws would appear, and the more likely it was that someone would notice something was wrong.
Ning Fengzhi's investigation had produced an accurate result. When Su Wen had first awakened his Martial Soul, it had merely appeared to be an ordinary Book Martial Soul.
Even its appearance had been completely unremarkable.
Yet after only two soul rings, Su Wen's Book Martial Soul had already transformed into its current state.
"As expected of a Book Martial Soul Soul Master." When he said this, his admiration and envy were entirely sincere.
"The way you Book Martial Soul Soul Masters develop your Martial Souls is truly eye-opening. The Book Martial Soul also has almost the broadest range of development among all the Martial Souls on the continent."
This was a fact.
There were even Agility Attack System Soul Masters with Book Martial Souls.
Of course, those who could achieve something with a Book Martial Soul were all outstanding among their peers. Yet every one of the outstanding Book Martial Soul Soul Masters had their own unique traits.
Su Wen caught the details in Ning Fengzhi's words. It seemed that Book Martial Soul Soul Masters found it easier to develop their Martial Souls.
He brought this up and expressed his confusion.
"This is caused by the Martial Soul's characteristics. The Book Martial Soul has a very strong Inclusivity Trait, so it is easier to develop. However, its development is also more difficult, because the Book Martial Soul is fragile by nature." Ning Fengzhi explained to Su Wen in the tone of an elder. "Of course, the true deciding factor in developing a Martial Soul is still the Soul Master himself. The Soul Master is the foundation."
"If a Soul Master does not want to take the path of a Battle Soul Master, then even if he is trained in accordance with the Battle Soul Master route, it will only have the opposite effect. He will instead be unable to achieve the desired results."
"The Book Martial Soul itself also influences its Soul Master. Most Soul Masters who awaken Book Martial Souls are actually interested in learning, while they do not have as strong a desire for battle."
"Only some Book Martial Soul Soul Masters who have had unusual experiences and possess an extraordinary obsession with battle can smoothly develop their Book Martial Souls toward the Battle Soul Master path. They can even be said to achieve twice the result with half the effort."
Put plainly, everything still depended on the Soul Master himself.
The same Book Martial Soul would be suited to different paths of development in different people's hands.
"I see. Thank you for clearing that up, Uncle Ning." Su Wen thanked Ning Fengzhi, pretending to have suddenly understood.
Ning Fengzhi was somewhat amused and exasperated at the same time.
This Su Wen was interesting.
He had also learned quite a bit about Su Wen from the Crown Prince.
He had heard about Su Wen's attainments in cultivation theory.
The Crown Prince had not mentioned Su Wen's specific achievements, but he had pointed out that Su Wen had very insightful views on cultivation theory.
Su Wen himself would never have expected the Crown Prince to share so much of his information with Ning Fengzhi.
"Xiao Wen, would it be convenient for me to learn about the details of when you absorbed this Second Soul Ring?"
Su Wen thought for a moment, then nodded. "Sure. It happened like this."
When explaining things to Ning Fengzhi, Su Wen chose words that were more detailed and somewhat more truthful than those he had used when dealing with the Three Great Education Committees.
"Monkey Wine, physical constitution." Ning Fengzhi lowered his head and pondered what Su Wen had said, feeling that something was still missing.
Suddenly, he looked up and asked Su Wen, "Xiao Wen, if I remember correctly, your Second Soul Ring has a Mental Attribute?"
"That's right." Su Wen nodded.
He did not know why Ning Fengzhi was asking about this.
However, he knew that someone might now start completing his lie through their own Brainstorm.
