Summon Card, Horned Youth

Ning Fengzhi instinctively summoned his Martial Soul.

An eight-tiered glazed tile pagoda floated above his palm amid dazzling Golden Light.

The eighth tier, which had originally seemed somewhat illusory, rapidly solidified before the naked eye. Its radiance flowed as it became incomparably stable!

Yet this was not the end!

Under the utterly stunned gazes of Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo, Ning Rongrong, and the others—

Golden Light gathered and formed once more at the top of the eight-tiered glazed tile pagoda.

An entirely new tier was slowly taking shape!

The Golden Light was like the deftest of craftsmen, sculpting the ninth tier of the glazed tile pagoda!

The pagoda was crystal clear, even more resplendent than the eight tiers below it, emanating a complete and vast aura of support!

"The... the ninth tier..."

Bone Douluo Gu Rong stared at the sight in astonishment.

Even Sword Douluo Chen Xin's usually Calm as a still well expression was now filled with overwhelming emotion.

He fixed his gaze on the ninth tier taking shape, and even the hand gripping his sword trembled slightly with excitement.

"Bzzz!"

At last, the Golden Light slowly receded.

A flawless nine-tiered glazed tile pagoda, shimmering with flowing light and radiating a supreme supportive aura, quietly floated above Ning Fengzhi's palm!

The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda!

The ultimate form that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had Dreamed of through countless generations.

At this moment, it had finally become reality in Ning Fengzhi's hands!

Ning Fengzhi stared blankly at the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda in his palm, sensing the wholly different completeness and strength it possessed compared to the Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

An indescribable excitement and wild joy—

Even a faint sense of unreality, as though he were dreaming, filled his heart.

The shackles of hundreds of years—

Had been completely shattered in his generation!

He, Ning Fengzhi, had become the first sect master in the history of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to possess the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda!

"It succeeded... It truly succeeded..."

Ning Fengzhi's voice choked up, and his eyes burned.

He raised his head toward the Sky Screen, his heart filled with endless gratitude toward it and toward Big Dipper Academy's dean, Lu Xiao, who had indirectly brought this about.

"Fengzhi! Congratulations!"

Chen Xin took a deep breath and spoke solemnly.

He knew that the appearance of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda meant the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's support abilities would reach an unprecedented peak.

The sect's position would become incomparably secure.

"The emergence of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is a sign that our sect will flourish!"

Ning Fengzhi said in a deep voice, his gaze becoming exceptionally resolute.

"Pass down my order. The entire sect will celebrate for three days. At the same time, intensify the training of our disciples. In the future, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect shall rise to even greater heights!"

"Yes, Sect Master!"

Excited responses echoed throughout the hall and beyond.

The entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was immersed in unprecedented jubilation and hope.

Ning Fengzhi's name, along with the legend of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, swiftly spread across the continent with the Sky Screen's announcement.

It caused an even greater sensation than when Ning Rongrong had made the ranking!

A Soul Douluo-level wielder of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda possessed strategic significance and support abilities enough to make any force glance sideways!

Spirit Hall, Pope's Palace.

Bibi Dong looked at Ning Fengzhi's name on the Sky Screen and the fully evolved Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

Her expression, which had only just eased somewhat after ordering Tang San's execution, darkened once more like still water.

"Ning Fengzhi... Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda..."

She practically forced those words through clenched teeth.

One Ning Rongrong with a Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was already shocking enough, and now even Ning Fengzhi...

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's strength would soar within a short time.

This would undoubtedly add tremendous uncertainty and resistance to her future plans.

"Just how powerful can the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's support abilities become?"

Bibi Dong's thoughts raced, and killing intent rose again within her. "It seems the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect must also be added to the extermination list as soon as possible..."

She could sense the situation developing in a direction increasingly unfavorable to Spirit Hall.

The appearance of the Sky Screen was like a rod stirring up fate, bringing many hidden dragons to the surface ahead of time.

Her gaze returned to the Sky Screen. The top two ranks hanging high above were like two massive boulders pressing down on her heart.

Just who could claim the top rank of this Special Martial Soul Ranking?

Could it possibly be even more monstrous than the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda and the Blue Silver Emperor?

Big Dipper Academy.

Lu Xiao gazed into the distance at the Sky Screen, lost in thought.

"Just as expected..."

"Ning Fengzhi is already advanced in age, and his foundation has long since taken shape. The medicinal power of that Aromatic Silk Beauty could help him break through to Soul Douluo and evolve the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda into Eight Treasure at most."

"I thought he would have no hope of reaching the Nine Treasure realm in this lifetime. Who would have thought that the Sky Screen Reward would directly complete the final piece of the puzzle and help his Martial Soul undergo its ultimate evolution..."

He was not overly surprised by this.

The Sky Screen's rewards were inherently mysterious and unfathomable. It was only natural that they could defy common sense.

However, after this incident, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's strength would inevitably surge. Its conflict with Spirit Hall would likely arrive earlier as well.

Just then.

A familiar notification, one that only he could hear, sounded in his mind:

[Ding! Today's check-in is ready. Would the Host like to check in?]

"Check in."

Lu Xiao's thoughts stirred as he silently spoke in his heart.

[Ding! Check-in successful! Congratulations to the Host for obtaining the reward: Character Summon Card (Golden) *1]

"Oh? Another Golden Summon Card?"

A trace of surprise and delight flashed through Lu Xiao's eyes.

Character Summon Cards were exceedingly rare. Over the past three years, he had obtained only a handful.

It was precisely through them that he had summoned powerful figures such as Lu Bu and Li Bai to serve as academy teachers, laying the initial foundation for Big Dipper Academy.

He had not expected to receive another one today.

With a thought, a mysterious card with hazy golden radiance flowing along its edges and profound runes engraved across its surface floated in the Void before him.

Without further hesitation, Lu Xiao chose to use it directly.

"Bzzz!"

The Golden Card abruptly shattered, turning into countless dazzling motes of light. The motes swiftly gathered and stretched in the center of the room.

They formed a Golden Gate emanating spatial fluctuations.

From within the gate came a vast, ancient aura of the Dragon Race, carrying incomparable nobility and majesty!

"Hm?"

Lu Xiao's gaze sharpened.

Feeling this Dragon Might, far purer and nobler than that of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, he already had a guess.

The next moment, a figure stepped out from the Golden Gate.

The newcomer wore a moon-white robe and stood straight as a pine. His features were extraordinarily handsome, and a pair of dragon horns protruded from his head.

He looked to be around fifteen or sixteen years old.

His aura was restrained, yet he gave off the peculiar sensation of having merged with the surrounding Heaven and Earth Elements.

The youth stepped out of the gate and looked at Lu Xiao, as though he instinctively knew his identity.

He bowed slightly in an ancient, elegant gesture and spoke in a clear voice:

"Ao Yin greets the Dean."

At the same time, detailed information about the youth named Ao Yin surfaced in Lu Xiao's mind:

[Ao Yin: 15 years old]

[Soul Power Level: Level 53 Soul King]

[Martial Soul: Elemental Dragon (a top-tier Dragon Race Martial Soul capable of controlling multiple types of Elemental Power)]

[Soul Ring Configuration: Purple, Purple, Black, Black, Black]

"Elemental Dragon... Truly extraordinary!"

Lu Xiao praised inwardly.

A fifteen-year-old Soul King, a Soul Ring Configuration that surpassed the limits, and a top-tier Dragon Race Martial Soul capable of wielding multiple elements.

Ao Yin's future achievements would be limitless!

"Welcome to Big Dipper Academy, Ao Yin."

Lu Xiao smiled and nodded.
