Chapter 5: Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Clan · Ning Tian (Part 2)
Having read the original work, Moyuan naturally knew some information about the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, so he didn't intend to hide anything after hearing Ning Tian's question.
His astonishing talent would begin to show itself now.
Moyuan smiled and shook his head, "No, this is my Fourth Soul Ring."
"Fourth Soul Ring? Moyuan, you're saying your Fourth Soul Ring is ten thousand years old?"
Ning Tian was surprised, and at the same time, a sense of joy rose in her heart. She had originally thought that Moyuan, at the Soul King realm in his teens, would be a suitable candidate to recruit, but she didn't expect him to be even more incredible.
Compared to Ning Tian, Wu Feng's reaction was even more intense, "Impossible! Absolutely impossible! How could you possibly absorb a soul ring beyond your limits! Do you think you're the Sea God?!"
Sea God? Was that the Pure and Innocent Tang San Shao?
A flicker of disdain flashed in Moyuan's eyes, and his face appropriately displayed the arrogance befitting his peerless talent.
"You've only just met me, like a frog in a well seeing the Bright Moon. When you truly witness what a genius is, you'll understand what it means for a mayfly to see the vast sky."
His brilliant Golden Eyes began to shine, and an invisible Dragon's Might swept through the forest. Four soul rings, one yellow, two purple, and one black, rose from his feet, pulsing slowly.
Wu Feng, whose martial soul was the Red Dragon, felt a suppression from her bloodline the moment she looked into those brilliant Golden Eyes. Her face instantly turned pale, and her body felt weak.
The anger that had arisen from Moyuan's arrogant words dissipated like smoke. To avoid embarrassment, she could only lower her head and not look at Moyuan.
"Second Soul Ring is a thousand years, Fourth Soul Ring is ten thousand years, and it's still a Body Martial Soul..." Ning Tian was utterly shocked. At this moment, regardless of Moyuan's age, she decided to recruit him into the Sect at any cost.
Even if the condition was herself.
After all, with Moyuan's impeccable appearance and talent, making such a choice would be the best course of action.
Having displayed enough of his talent, Moyuan retracted his soul rings and Golden Eyes, and looked at the silent, head-lowering Wu Feng with a faint smile.
"How about it?"
"Tch... it's just absorbing a soul ring beyond your limits, what's so great about that..." Wu Feng muttered in a low voice, her previous arrogant demeanor completely gone.
Tsk, her mouth was the hardest part of her body... Moyuan thought to himself, then looked at Ning Tian, whose Beautiful Eyes were filled with wonder.
"Moyuan, how old are you this year? With your talent, you must be a genius from some major Sect or power, right?"
Ning Tian asked. These were the last two things she needed to confirm. If Moyuan's age was the same as hers, or even a little older, it wouldn't matter; the ten-thousand-year Fourth Soul Ring was enough to prove his talent.
The latter question was the most crucial. If Moyuan had already joined another force, or was simply someone from another force, then all her ideas would be like flowers in a mirror, reflections in water.
Moyuan clearly understood what Ning Tian wanted to know with this question. He replied in a calm tone, "I'm a few months shy of Twelve Years Old. As for my background... I'm an Orphan."
Moyuan calmly stated his identity as an orphan. What's wrong with being an orphan? What kind of awesome protagonist isn't an orphan?
Do you understand the value of having both parents sacrifice themselves at the start?
Twelve years old! He's the same age as me! And he's free, without any affiliations!
Ning Tian's last reservation completely vanished.
With Moyuan's current talent and background, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say he was a walking succubus. Any faction with a normal brain would desperately try to recruit him.
As long as Moyuan was brought into the sect, it could at least maintain a hundred years of glory.
On the other side, when Wu Feng heard that Moyuan was an orphan, her last shred of pride was shattered.
She was the granddaughter of a Title Douluo enshrined in the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Clan. From childhood, she had lived a life of luxury, fed with all sorts of heavenly materials and earthly treasures and pills, and was groomed to be a future Protecting Sect Douluo. In the end, a young man who was an orphan was so much stronger than her?
Ning Tian, thinking the same thing, felt her desire to recruit Moyuan reach its peak. She was certain that as long as Moyuan didn't die prematurely, he would at least become a Super Douluo in the future.
Ning Tian looked at Moyuan and extended an invitation from the successor of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Clan. She said sincerely, "Moyuan, I am the daughter of the Sect Master of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Clan. I want to invite you to join our sect. With your talent, even if you were alone, you've achieved so much at this age. I believe that if you join us, with the sect's resources, you will grow even faster."
Tsk, so soon? As expected of the owner of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda spirit. Her vision and determination are truly extraordinary... Moyuan knew Ning Tian would try to recruit him, but he didn't expect it to be so soon.
However, with the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Clan's wealth that could rival a nation, joining wouldn't be a loss. Plus, with the numerous Title Douluo in the sect, there would be no worries about safety in the early stages.
But Moyuan would join, just not now. There were also many opportunities in Shrek Academy, and they were all very important. If he tried to obtain them as someone from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, he would definitely have no chance.
So... Moyuan chose to keep Ning Tian hanging and then enter Shrek Academy. He wanted to have his cake and eat it too!
No! With the characteristics of his spirit, he might even be able to have his cake and eat it too in four ways!
Having made up his mind, Moyuan pretended to look troubled and said, "It's not that I look down on your esteemed sect, but I've already decided to enter Shrek Academy to study. As the most authoritative academy on the continent, it would be a shame not to study there after meeting the admission standards."
"Just like someone surnamed Lu from my hometown once said: Coming to the Douluo Continent and not going to Shrek is like coming for nothing."
Hearing that Moyuan didn't intend to join the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Clan immediately, Ning Tian wasn't too disappointed. With his terrifying talent, he surely knew he had more options.
Waiting for a better offer was normal.
Besides, what if he went to study at Shrek Academy? Shrek was, after all, an academy. As long as he didn't become a core high-level member, he would be no different from a free person.
Moreover, Ning Tian believed that she would definitely be able to tie Moyuan firmly to her side in the future and recruit him into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Clan.
Hearing Moyuan politely decline Ning Tian's invitation, Wu Feng felt displeased but wisely said nothing more. She merely examined the Dragon Horn Hunting Lizard that Moyuan had sliced in half.
As her gaze moved away from the neat and smooth cut, she secretly wondered how Moyuan's spirit skill had caused such a wound. Suddenly, her eyes froze on the corpse's right arm.
As a junior of a Title Douluo, Wu Feng had once witnessed her grandfather hunt a soul beast and find a soul bone. So, when she saw that there was no bone in the corpse's right arm where the flesh had been cut open, she guessed some information.
But Wu Feng's intelligent mind occupied the high ground for too short a time. The moment she guessed that Moyuan had exploded a piece, she looked at Moyuan and spoke without hesitation, "Moyuan, did you get a Right Arm Bone from this Dragon Horn Hunting Lizard?"
Hearing this, Moyuan, who was chatting with Ning Tian, was stunned. A trace of coldness appeared in his gentle Eyes.
Soul bones were extremely rare and precious items that could easily attract covetousness. Especially in the Star Dou Great Forest, directly pointing out that someone had a soul bone was basically no different from murder.
If he didn't know that the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Clan wouldn't do something as foolish as offending a talented young man for a soul bone, Moyuan would have drawn his long saber the moment Wu Feng spoke.
"Wu Feng!" Ning Tian was also stunned by these words. She felt terrible, especially when she saw the coldness in Moyuan's Eyes. She wished she could sew Wu Feng's mouth shut.
Scolded by Ning Tian like this, Wu Feng also realized what a foolish thing she had just said. Knowing she had made a mistake, she didn't retort. She just stood behind Ning Tian with her head down, not saying another word.
"Moyuan, I apologize to you on behalf of Wu Feng. Because of her spirit, Wu Feng's personality has always been a bit impatient, and she often speaks her mind, but she doesn't have any bad intentions," Ning Tian quickly explained to Moyuan.
If Moyuan were to fall out with the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Clan because of such a small incident, it would be truly fucked up.
"It's fine. Honest people are like this. Although they're a bit foolish, they don't have bad intentions," Moyuan curved the corners of his mouth into a slight smile. Why would he blame Wu Feng now?
If everything went according to Ning Tian's plan, Wu Feng would face true punishment one day.
For example...
