That day, Xiao Chenlong and Salas arrived at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. They said they were holding a grand banquet, and Ning Fengzhi was indeed very generous.
The scene was grand, and the guests were all prominent figures. After all, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was one of the Upper Three Sects, with two Titled Douluo stationed there.
"Sect Master Ning, congratulations, congratulations. This is a small gift for your daughter's first birthday, a token of His Highness the Holy Son's regard."
"Bishop Salas, Your Highness the Saint Son, you are too kind."
"It's only right. I should be able to see your daughter later, right?"
"Haha, of course. I still have things to attend to. Your Highness the Saint Son, please make yourself at home."
"No problem, Sect Master Ning, please feel free as well."
Xiao Chenlong found a place to sit, and Salas began introducing the guests around him.
The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan had brought someone Xiao Chenlong didn't recognize, and he had a child with him.
Xiao Chenlong could roughly guess who he was.
"Your Highness, that is the young sect master of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, Yu Mingfeng. Unlike Yu Xiaogang, who has become a laughingstock, his strength is not bad, and he is low-key.
He is also the future hope of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. That child should be his eldest son, Yu Tianheng."
Xiao Chenlong nodded. This person was barely mentioned in the original plot, likely because he died before the story began.
"Your Highness, the group gathered over there are from the Four Elemental Academies."
The Blazing Fire Academy, Godwind Academy, and Thunder Academy had sent old men, likely deans. The Skywater Academy had sent a beautiful young woman who exuded an alluring charm.
Beside them were a few children, whom Xiao Chenlong could roughly identify.
The red-haired Huo Wushuang and Huo Wu siblings, the blue-haired Shui Yue'er and Shui Bing'er sisters, and the golden-haired Yu Tianxin and white-haired Feng Xiaotian.
Feng Xiaotian seemed to have fallen in love with Huo Wu at first sight and was already pestering her, but Huo Wu clearly wasn't interested.
At this moment, someone approached Xiao Chenlong and bowed.
"This Old Man is the Sect Master of the Elephant Armored Sect, Hu Yan Zhen. I pay my respects to Your Highness the Saint Son."
"Greetings, Sect Master Hu Yan. And who is this?"
Xiao Chenlong glanced at the child standing beside Hu Yan Zhen, who was already as tall as an adult.
"This is this old man's grandson, named Hu Yan Li. Come, pay your respects to Your Highness the Saint Son."
"Greetings, Your Highness the Saint Son!"
Hu Yan Li seemed somewhat unwilling, clearly looking down on Xiao Chenlong.
Xiao Chenlong wouldn't argue with a child. After chatting with Hu Yan Zhen for a bit, Xue Qinghe arrived, accompanied by Prince Xue Xing and Xue Beng.
Xiao Chenlong didn't see Dugu Bo. He figured Dugu Bo hadn't been rescued by Prince Xue Xing yet.
"Your Highness the Saint Son, you're quite early."
"Your Highness the Crown Prince, I'm just a free man, so I came early to join the fun."
Woof! Woof!
The Schnauzer suddenly ran over and jumped into Xue Qinghe's arms, making Xue Qinghe a bit awkward.
Xue Qinghe handed the Schnauzer to Xiao Chenlong, giving him a subtle glare.
"Welcome, esteemed guests, to my daughter's first birthday banquet. I won't say too many pleasantries, as I am not the main character today."
Following that, Ning Rongrong was brought out, and the ceremony of "grabbing the object" began.
Ning Rongrong was placed on a stage. Various items were on the stage, with three towers being the most prominent.
All three were shaped like glazed tile pagodas, but with different numbers of tiers: seven, eight, and nine.
Sword Douluo Chen Xin, Bone Douluo Gu Rong, and Ning Fengzhi watched Ning Rongrong with anticipation. They all naturally hoped Ning Rongrong would grab the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
Amidst their expectant gazes, Ning Rongrong crawled over and, as expected, grasped the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
Seeing this, Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo's faces were filled with smiles.
"Haha, good, Rongrong, you can definitely recreate the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda."
Next, the guests congratulated Ning Fengzhi, and the atmosphere became very lively.
"Sect Master Ning, on this joyous occasion, why not let the children spar a bit? What do you say?"
As the saying goes, one gets to know people by fighting them. The children should interact more."
The one speaking was Yu Mingfeng. Ning Fengzhi frowned.
"Brother Yu, isn't that inappropriate?"
"Sect Master Ning, why don't we let the children choose? We adults can let the children make the decision this time."
Ning Fengzhi didn't quite understand Yu Mingfeng's intentions, but children sparring wouldn't hurt, so he agreed.
Yu Tianheng stepped forward, revealing his martial soul, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, and a yellow, hundred-year Spirit Ring.
"Is anyone willing to fight me!"
"I'll fight you!"
Hu Yan Li stepped forward. In terms of size, Hu Yan Li was a full circle larger than Yu Tian Heng.
"What does Yu Ming Feng want to do?" Xue Qing He asked Xiao Chen Long.
"Showcase the younger generation's strength, to let others know that their Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan has successors."
He had no interest in the petty squabbles of children. Xiao Chen Long went over to Ning Feng Zhi's side, teased Ning Rong Rong, and hugged her.
Ning Feng Zhi nodded at Xiao Chen Long, not paying attention to Xiao Chen Long's actions of teasing Ning Rong Rong.
"First Spirit Skill, Thunder Dragon Claw!"
Yu Tian Heng used Thunder Dragon Claw to break through Hu Yan Li's defense and defeated him.
Seeing Hu Yan Li lose, Hu Yan Zhen's expression turned very unpleasant.
Huo Wu of the Blazing Fire Academy wanted to step forward to challenge Yu Tian Heng, but was held back by Huo Wushuang.
"Brother, why are you stopping me?"
Huo Wushuang gave Huo Wu a look, and Huo Wu finally noticed that her own Grandfather, who was also the Dean, was glaring at her.
These guys were all Old Foxes. Although they didn't understand what Yu Ming Feng was doing, none of them wanted to get involved.
At this moment, Yu Tian Heng spoke again, "I've heard that the Saint Son of the Martial Soul Hall is a peerless genius. Yu Tian Heng dares to challenge. I ask if His Highness the Saint Son dares to accept the challenge?"
Xiao Chen Long was also stunned by these words. He then looked at Yu Tian Heng. These words clearly weren't spoken by a child; they must have been taught by an adult.
"Is the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan crazy? What good would it do them to step on me?"
As Xiao Chen Long was thinking this, Bishop Salas roared out in anger.
"Presumptuous! How can our Martial Soul Hall's Saint Son be challenged just because you say so? Is the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan provoking our Martial Soul Hall?"
"Bishop Salas, why get angry? It's just a child's playful words. If His Highness the Saint Son refuses, then so be it. I'm afraid that would tarnish His Highness the Saint Son's reputation."
Yu Ming Feng's words were laced with sarcasm, making Salas very angry.
Xiao Chen Long walked over at this moment, his expression calm.
"Are you sure you want to challenge me?"
With every step he took, a Green Spirit Ring appeared. By the time he reached Yu Tian Heng, three Spirit Rings had already appeared.
Everyone present widened their eyes, disbelieving what they were seeing.
"A Soul Elder! How is that possible? His Highness the Saint Son is less than eight years old."
"No wonder he was made the Saint Son of the Martial Soul Hall at such a young age. He truly is exceptionally talented."
"But what about his Green Spirit Rings? I've never heard of Green Spirit Rings before."
"Perhaps his Martial Soul is special."
