Gongsun Li stood there prettily, holding her umbrella in one hand.
That strike just now had been delivered with the umbrella's handle.
By now, the obedience and cuteness she had shown in front of Li Xin had long vanished from her face.
In their place was a frosty expression filled with murderous aura.
Even so.
Her breathtakingly beautiful face and graceful figure still left Dai Mubai, Oscar, and the others staring blankly.
She was too beautiful.
This wild yet lively beauty was practically poison.
"Do you think you're worthy of questioning the leader?"
Gongsun Li coldly looked at Yu Xiaogang, who was curled up on the ground. Her voice was as melodious as pearls falling onto jade, yet it carried bone-chilling Killing Intent.
Domineering.
Protective.
This sudden turn of events made even Qian Renxue, who had been watching the show, raise her brows.
What a fierce temperament.
What swift Movement Technique.
That rabbit-eared young girl who looked so frail was probably no weaker than an ordinary Titled Douluo.
Over on Shrek's side, Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing were the first to react. They hurriedly stepped in front of the boys who were still standing there in a daze.
They watched Gongsun Li warily, their eyes full of apprehension.
This woman was dangerous.
Li Xin looked at Gongsun Li standing in front of him, and a helpless smile flashed through his eyes.
This lass.
She was still so impulsive.
But.
Well done.
Reasoning was useless against someone as self-righteous as Yu Xiaogang.
Only a slap could wake him up.
Li Xin slowly stepped forward and gently placed a hand on Gongsun Li's shoulder.
The young girl, who had been brimming with Killing Intent, immediately obediently put away her Paper Umbrella and retreated behind him.
Yet this small gesture only further highlighted Li Xin's status.
His calm gaze swept across the entire hall before finally landing on the Heavenly Dao Golden Ranking still floating in midair.
"Too noisy."
"Watch the ranking properly."
Li Xin's voice was not loud, yet it clearly reached everyone's ears.
This time.
No one dared to step forward and question him again.
Even Yu Xiaogang, whom Dai Mubai had helped up, could only cover his swollen cheek. Though his eyes were filled with resentment and fear, he lowered his head and did not dare utter another word.
Just then.
The image above the Heavenly Curtain changed once more.
Golden radiance surged as a new ranking appeared.
[Heavenly Dao Power Ranking, Ninth Place!] A disturbance even greater than before erupted this time. A splendid Seven-Colored Lotus slowly blossomed within the Light Screen, radiating auspicious light that flowed like precious jewels. [Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!] Immediately afterward. The reward that drove the entire Soul Master World mad appeared. [In recognition of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's assistance to the world and boundless merit.] [All direct disciples of the sect are hereby granted: Martial Soul Evolution!] [All Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Souls shall immediately evolve into Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagodas!] [Break the shackles of fate, accommodate Nine Rings, and ascend to the Titled Douluo realm!]
Boom—!
At that moment.
Not only did everyone in the hall erupt into uproar, but the entire Douluo Continent boiled over as well.
What was the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's greatest regret?
It was the flaw in their Martial Souls, which could only accommodate seven soul rings.
This had always been Ning Fengzhi's deepest pain, as well as the shackles preventing the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect from advancing any further.
But now.
The Heavenly Dao Golden Ranking had actually shattered that rule outright!
The entire sect had evolved!
What did that mean?
It meant that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect could potentially produce countless auxiliary-type Super Douluo above level ninety-six in the future!
For any power, that was an irresistible temptation.
Ning Rongrong's pretty face flushed red with excitement.
She took a deep breath and forcibly suppressed the wild joy in her heart.
She was a clever girl.
She knew the situation had changed now.
That fool Yu Xiaogang had already narrowed his own path. She could not continue making a fool of herself alongside him.
Ning Rongrong stepped gracefully forward from the crowd.
She did not spare the disheveled Yu Xiaogang a glance. Instead, she gave Li Xin and Wu Zetian behind the beaded curtain a graceful bow.
Her bearing was flawless, fully displaying the elegance of a Young Lady of a Prominent Family.
"Great Tang Empress, sir."
Ning Rongrong's voice was crisp and pleasant, her attitude respectful without sacrificing dignity.
"I am Ning Rongrong, daughter of Ning Fengzhi, Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
"Grandmaster's offensive words just now were indeed discourteous. Rong Rong apologizes on his behalf."
Her words were exceptionally well chosen.
She had both distanced herself from Yu Xiaogang and revealed her own identity.
"However, our Tang Sect Alliance has indeed come with sincerity."
"Now that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has received the Heavenly Dao's favor, our strength will surely grow greatly."
"Combined with the foundations of the Clear Sky Sect and the Two Great Empires, our strength is absolutely no weaker than that of any overlord in this world."
Ning Rongrong raised her head and looked at Li Xin with blazing eyes.
"We do not ask Great Tang to immediately send troops to aid us."
"We only ask that Great Tang stand on the side of justice at this crucial moment."
"In this turbulent age, having one more ally is always better than having one more enemy, isn't it?"
Meanwhile.
The members of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect seemed as though they had been frozen in place.
Ning Fengzhi's face, usually refined and easygoing, was now somewhat twisted from excessive excitement.
Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
That was a Martial Soul that existed only in legends.
It was the dream that every generation of Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect Masters had pursued throughout their lives.
He had once believed that he would spend the rest of his life stalled at the threshold of level seventy-nine.
Yet now, the Golden List floating high in the sky was telling him that the entire sect would evolve?
Ning Fengzhi felt as if countless bolts of thunder were exploding in his mind all at once.
How was this a reward?
This was clearly an opportunity for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to defy fate and rewrite its destiny.
Sword Douluo Chen Xin, standing behind him, also saw violent ripples appear in his eyes, which were usually as still as an ancient well.
He understood too well what this meant.
Without the limitation of seven rings, given Fengzhi's talent, entering the Titled Douluo realm was practically certain.
With enough time, even becoming a Super Douluo above level ninety-five was not impossible.
A Titled Douluo with the Number One Under Heaven auxiliary Martial Soul.
The impact such a person would have on the overall battle situation would be devastating.
Gu Rong's sinister face twisted into a smile even uglier than crying.
Ever since Spirit Hall's earlier sneak attack had severely damaged the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and nearly wiped them out.
They had been like homeless dogs these days, forced to rely on the Heaven Dou Imperial Family.
Gu Rong had had enough of that humiliating existence under another's roof.
But things were different now.
As long as Fengzhi could break through, and as long as the surviving direct disciples within the sect could all evolve.
Returning to their former glory, or even surpassing their peak, would no longer be a fool's dream.
Ning Fengzhi took a deep breath and forcibly steadied his voice.
Yet the tremor in his voice still betrayed the wild joy in his heart.
Uncle Jian, Bone Uncle.
Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is going to rise again.
Meanwhile, in distant Spirit City.
Inside the Papal Palace.
Bibi Dong slammed the scepter in her hand heavily against the ground, producing a dull thud.
Her beautiful yet imposing Phoenix Eyes were filled with shock.
