The Innate Level-Nine Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda (Please Read On)

Tap tap tap!

Hurried footsteps came from outside the hall.

A disciple dressed in the standard uniform of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect entered and reported, "Sect Master, Poison Douluo and his granddaughter have arrived."

Ning Fengzhi, who had only just sat down, rose to his feet again. "Qinghe, young friend Su, please excuse me for a moment."

"No problem. Teacher, please attend to your business."

After Ning Fengzhi left, Qian Renxue whispered to Su Yu, "You met Poison Douluo last time. He also has a granddaughter named Dugu Yan, and she is a student of Heaven Dou Royal Academy as well. You can get acquainted with her shortly."

A moment later, a spear-like figure entered, leading a purple-haired girl.

Dugu Yan's gaze swept across the hall before instantly settling on Su Yu.

Memories surged through her mind, freezing on a day from one month ago.

That day, Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling had returned to the academy, only to encounter Su Yu and Xue Ke holding hands at the entrance.

As Poison Douluo's granddaughter, Dugu Yan naturally recognized the princess.

Thus, she had been curious about Su Yu, who was holding Xue Ke's hand.

That had been the first time she saw Su Yu.

Over the following month, Dugu Yan often ran into him somewhere along the path between the library and the academy gates.

She had never expected to see him again at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's banquet today!

"Little brother, we meet again."

At those words, Dugu Bo's eyes lit up.

He had been deeply impressed by this boy who was suspected to possess Innate Full Soul Power.

It was not merely because of his strange Martial Soul and soul skill, but also because of his calm and composed bearing.

He hurriedly asked, "Yanyan, you've met this boy too?"

Dugu Yan nodded. "He often comes to the library to read. Sometimes, I run into him around the academy."

Having said that, Dugu Yan seemed to realize something and looked at her grandfather. "Grandpa, why did you say 'too'?"

"Heh heh, Grandpa met this boy a month ago, right after he obtained his soul ring."

Ning Fengzhi was slightly surprised, but his expression did not change in the slightest. He smiled and said, "I never expected Mister Dugu and young friend Su to have such a connection."

Dugu Yan stepped forward and asked, "Little brother, I've seen you so many times, yet I still don't know your name."

Su Yu stood up. "Su Yu greets Senior Sister. I never expected Senior Sister to be Poison Douluo's granddaughter."

Dugu Yan replied, "I never expected you to be one of the Crown Prince's people."

At the same time, Dugu Bo and Chen Xin nodded to each other in greeting.

Once everyone had greeted one another, Ning Fengzhi arranged seats for Dugu Bo and his granddaughter.

Soon afterward, numerous guests arrived one after another, filling the once-empty hall to the brim.

During this time, Qian Renxue did not remain idle. She continuously introduced their identities to Su Yu, leaving his head spinning.

Once all the guests had gathered, Ning Fengzhi stood and delivered a few polished formalities.

Then the banquet's main character—Ning Rongrong—left her seat and walked to the center of the hall.

The next moment, the space before Ning Rongrong suddenly collapsed, and a tall, gaunt figure silently appeared.

"Bone Grandpa!"

Gu Rong smiled and nodded. "Little princess, are you ready?"

"Mm-hm!"

Seeing Ning Rongrong nod, Gu Rong sent six Awakening Stones flying out of his Storage Soul Tool. They landed on the ground in the shape of a six-pointed star.

"Come, Rongrong. Stand in the center of the Awakening Array and focus your mind!"

After Ning Rongrong stood in place, Gu Rong casually waved his hand, sending six streams of Soul Power into the Awakening Stones and causing the Awakening Array to light up instantly.

Countless golden motes drifted from the Awakening Stones and continuously flowed toward Ning Rongrong.

In that instant, Ning Rongrong felt as if her entire body were soaking in a hot spring. She felt warm all over, incomparably comfortable.

The next moment, she felt an invisible shackle within her body shatter completely, and an exquisite, translucent pagoda appeared in her palm—the Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda!

At that instant, everyone's vision blurred. Chen Xin, who had originally been seated beside Ning Fengzhi, had already appeared at Ning Rongrong's side.

Holding a blue Crystal Ball in his hands, he said, "Rongrong, use your mind to withdraw your Martial Soul, then place your hand on the Crystal Ball."

Ning Rongrong obediently nodded, looking nothing like a little witch.

In an instant, dazzling light flared up, nearly filling the entire Crystal Ball.

"Level nine! Innate Soul Power level nine!"

"Hahaha! As expected of my Rongrong! When has a Support-type Martial Soul ever possessed such high Innate Soul Power?!"

At the sight, Ning Fengzhi's grin nearly reached his ears.

Innate level nine!

If it was Rongrong, perhaps she could break the Martial Soul limitation of the Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda and evolve it into the Nine Treasure Glazed Pagoda, allowing the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to produce its first direct-line Title Douluo!

Then deafening congratulations erupted, pulling Ning Fengzhi back from his beautiful dream.

"Congratulations, Sect Master Ning! Your daughter has awakened a Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda with Innate Soul Power at level nine. She will surely lead the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to even greater heights!"

A group of shrewd people instantly crowded around Ning Fengzhi and began showering him with flattery.

With such wonderful news today, Ning Fengzhi was already in high spirits. As long as they seized the opportunity to praise him and give him enough emotional validation, would that not broaden their path?

Qian Renxue also rose to her feet and put on a surprised expression. "Congratulations, Junior Sister Rongrong. A Support-type Martial Soul has never possessed Innate Full Soul Power. You have already broken the record for Innate Soul Power among Support-type Martial Souls..."

Listening to the praise around her, Ning Rongrong—the star of the banquet—proudly raised her chin. "Sword Grandpa, Bone Grandpa, isn't Rongrong amazing?"

"Of course." Gu Rong rubbed Ning Rongrong's head. "Rongrong is the most gifted Support-type Soul Master I have ever seen. In the future, the title of the continent's number one Support-type Soul Master will belong to none other than our little princess!"

"Really?" Ning Rongrong's face lit up with delight. "Does that mean I'm even better than Father was back then?"

"Of course," Chen Xin said. "Even Fengzhi only had Innate Soul Power at level eight back then."

"Uncle Bone, don't spoil her too much. Look at her—her nose is practically pointing at the sky already."

Chen Xin immediately said in displeasure, "Fengzhi, what kind of nonsense is that? Rongrong is so outstanding. What's wrong with being a little proud?!"

Ning Fengzhi suddenly felt helpless. So long as these two old men were around, his ability to intimidate his daughter would approach zero without limit.

"Father, don't worry. Rongrong will definitely cultivate diligently in the future and won't disappoint you, Sword Grandpa, or Bone Grandpa!"

Seeing Ning Rongrong clench her fists, Chen Xin and Gu Rong felt their hearts melt.

Ning Fengzhi also nodded in satisfaction. Although his daughter could be somewhat willful, she was still very sensible when it mattered!
