Hope of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Golden Crocodile Pressures Heaven Dou

The moment Ning Fengzhi heard that Chen Xin intended to use Sword Slash on Dugu Bo,

he immediately stopped him. Sweat beaded on his forehead as he explained with a guilty expression.

"It wasn't Dugu Bo who took him away.

"It was my poor arrangement. Yu Mingfei left Seven Treasure City on the day you entered seclusion."

Chen Xin halted and looked at Ning Fengzhi in shock.

"Then where is he now?

"Fengzhi, although his Martial Soul Mutation has left him unable to cultivate, his knowledge and value far surpass those of ordinary Soul Masters.

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect cannot miss out on Yu Mingfei!

"Perhaps Old Bone's opportunity to break through lies with him as well!"

Ning Fengzhi was utterly baffled.

Yu Mingfei was only level thirty. Even if his Martial Soul had mutated again, how could he possibly help Chen Xin, who was level ninety-six, achieve another breakthrough?

From what Chen Xin said, even Gu Rong had hope of breaking through level ninety-five?

"Uncle Sword, Yu Mingfei is with Dugu Bo now."

Chen Xin looked confused and was about to ask when Ning Fengzhi continued.

"He went to find Dugu Bo himself and resolved Dugu Yan's problem with the poison consuming her body.

"Now, he and Dugu Bo..."

Ning Fengzhi recalled how Poison Douluo had fully activated his Soul Rings in Heaven Dou City today and pressured Moonlight Pavilion, all just to stand up for Yu Mingfei.

For a moment, he did not know what expression to make.

"They get along very well..."

Ning Fengzhi said dazedly.

Those people did far more than simply get along well.

Dugu Yan had willingly withdrawn from the team to follow Yu Mingfei around, and she had even brought along Ye Lingling, whom the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had been doing its utmost to recruit.

Dugu Bo had even less dignity or bearing than a Titled Douluo should have. He ran errands for Yu Mingfei and personally handled even matters like picking things up.

For the past two days, he had also been searching through Soul Beast records all over Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

He had dragged quite a few advanced students over to demonstrate their Soul Ring skills.

Earth, water, fire, wind—he wanted to see Soul Ring skills of every attribute.

Dugu Yan was still far from obtaining her next Soul Ring, while Yu Mingfei was level thirty.

Wasn't it obvious that he was selecting a Soul Beast for Yu Mingfei?

Even Chen Xin and Gu Rong did not treat the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect as well as he treated Yu Mingfei!

Perhaps only Ning Rongrong's standing in the hearts of the Sword and Bone Douluos could barely compare to Yu Mingfei's place in Dugu Bo's heart.

Ning Fengzhi was weighed down by his thoughts.

Uncle Sword said his breakthrough this time was because of Yu Mingfei.

Could it be that Dugu Bo had also gained some insight from Yu Mingfei and was about to break through?

After hearing Ning Fengzhi, Chen Xin sighed regretfully.

"So that's how it is. What a pity—such a good opportunity...

"But no matter!

"Fengzhi, hadn't that Old Poison also tried to befriend the sect before? Take this chance to visit him more often. It is better than growing distant from him."

Chen Xin regained his usual composure and calmly offered Ning Fengzhi his advice.

The moment Ning Fengzhi heard Chen Xin bring it up himself, he was immediately invigorated.

"Uncle Sword, I was just about to discuss this with you."

His gaze fell on Ning Rongrong beside Chen Xin, and he looked at her fondly.

"I intend to have you take Rongrong to visit Yu Mingfei."

As he spoke, a glimmer of hope flashed in Ning Fengzhi's eyes.

"You may not know this, but when I accompanied the Crown Prince to watch Soul Fighting today, I saw Yu Mingfei at the Great Soul Arena."

Chen Xin was immediately interested.

"Oh? Wasn't his Martial Soul useless?"

Ning Fengzhi shook his head. "I was also very surprised. After not seeing him for a few days, it seemed that his Martial Soul had mutated once again.

"His Martial Soul is no longer useless.

"As for its quality, I fear no one in all of Heaven Dou City can compare to him."

Chen Xin's expression turned serious at those words.

"His Martial Soul mutated again? Fengzhi, tell me in detail."

Ning Fengzhi recounted the scene of the Soul Fighting match to the Sword and Bone Douluos.

Ning Rongrong added details from the side.

Gu Rong frowned and asked in confusion, "Fengzhi, according to you, his Second Soul Skill was powerful enough to defeat a Soul Elder with one strike, despite the opponent having one more Soul Ring and nearly five more levels of Soul Power?

"The aftershock swept across the area below the platform, and he had even held back?"

Recalling Yu Mingfei's Soul Fighting match, Ning Rongrong said with lingering fear, "Grandpa Bone, his Soul Skill can not only unleash high-temperature flames, but he can freely control the shape of those flames as well.

"After he attacked, half the spectator stands were directly cleared out."

Thinking of the raging high-temperature flames on the Soul Fighting Platform, which Yu Mingfei had effortlessly condensed into arrows, Ning Rongrong could not help feeling lucky for Tailong.

That was not merely a change in shape. Compressing the flames would also increase the Soul Skill's power beyond measure.

The fact that Tailong was still alive meant Yu Mingfei had already gone easy on him.

If the Shrek Seven Devils had faced that arrow, probably not many of them would have remained standing...

Dai Laoda couldn't do it, Third Brother couldn't do it, and that fat Ma Hongjun might have been less miserable because his Martial Soul was also fire-attributed.

Ning Rongrong instinctively made the comparison.

On Douluo Continent, although Soul Masters had limited numbers of Soul Skills, many Soul Skills still possessed potential for further development.

It was simply that most Soul Masters could not achieve that.

Those Soul Masters who could do so were no longer limited by Soul Rings and Soul Skills. They had long since entered the realm of independently developing Soul Skills.

The Clear Sky Sect's Clear Sky Nine Absolutes and Great Sumeru Hammer were examples of this.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect had corresponding Battle Methods as well.

As one of the Upper Three Sects, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had deep foundations and naturally possessed records in this regard.

Unfortunately, as an Auxiliary Sect, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect focused on developing the abilities of the Martial Soul Itself, as well as the enhancement that Optimized Soul Incantations provided to Soul Skills.

Chen Xin frowned in puzzlement. He made the same move as Ning Fengzhi.

He turned to look at Ning Rongrong.

That look left her completely confused.

Chen Xin's expression turned solemn as he nodded seriously to Ning Fengzhi.

"Fengzhi, I understand your intentions. Tomorrow, I will take Rongrong to visit Yu Mingfei."

Ning Fengzhi smiled with relief, then added, "That would be best.

"However, tomorrow, the Heaven Dou Imperial Family wishes to invite Uncle Sword and Uncle Bone to make an appearance and hold the line."

Chen Xin and Gu Rong asked in confusion, "And why is that?"

Ning Fengzhi's expression was grave.

"A Spirit Hall elder has arrived in Heaven Dou.

"He has come with ill intent."

Heaven Dou Palace, imperial court.

Xue Ye sat upon the Dragon Throne, looking listless and weak.

Xue Qinghe stood at one side, while Ning Fengzhi stood behind him with the Sword and Bone Douluos.

At the center of the great hall stood an old man in golden robes embroidered with silver. His gaze was cold and sharp, and he showed no regard whatsoever for the Heaven Dou emperor as he stared directly at Xue Qinghe.

Xue Ye's eyes were filled with apprehension, yet he had no choice but to put on a welcoming manner.

"Golden Crocodile Douluo, your presence honors this hall with splendor.

"May I ask what brings Your Excellency here?"

Golden Crocodile Douluo snorted coldly.

"You of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family know exactly why.

"The Ancestor's Divine Trial has descended, and Spirit Hall naturally sensed it.

"This Old Man arrived yesterday. The fact that I waited until today to come has already shown you enough respect."

His tone was terrifyingly calm. His placid eyes turned toward Xue Qinghe.

"Heaven Dou Crown Prince? This Old Man gives you two choices."

Xue Ye had not expected Golden Crocodile Douluo to be so direct. He could not help turning to look worriedly to the side.

Xue Qinghe took a deep breath, stepped half a pace forward, and looked steadfastly at Golden Crocodile Douluo.

"Please speak, Senior."

Golden Crocodile Douluo grinned as his imposing aura slowly spread from his body. He spoke slowly.

"Either give up the Divine Trial.

"Or give up the position of Crown Prince and join Spirit Hall."
