Just You, Called a Theory Master?

So, the necessary military deterrence was certain. Truth only existed within the range of cannons.

Training a Titled Douluo was rather difficult, so they could only do their best to win over allies.

Then they needed to create something capable of dealing with Titled Douluo.

This could be considered a result.

"Old Bone is here."

Just as Ning Qinghe was about to say more.

Chen Xin suddenly spoke from the side.

That made everyone realize that with such a huge commotion, it would have been difficult not to attract attention.

He did not even need to say anything else. Very soon, two figures became visible to the naked eye.

They walked directly over from the spot blasted open by the Soul Cannon.

"What are you doing? Such a huge disturbance."

"The people in the city are in chaos."

"At this rate, Heaven Dou City will probably learn about it very soon."

Gu Rong arrived with Ning Fengzhi. Seeing that there was no danger, he also let out a sigh of relief.

When Gu Rong and the others sensed the situation earlier, they had thought that a Titled Douluo expert was attacking the Extreme Research Institute.

"The Research Institute merely created something decent. It has not been perfected yet."

Ning Qinghe offered a brief explanation.

For now, this could also be regarded as a strategic asset.

The operators had certain requirements. At the very least, a Soul Saint had to serve as the gunner.

Fortunately, it was not so extravagant as to require a Titled Douluo to operate it.

As he listened to Ning Qinghe's introduction, Ning Fengzhi's eyes seemed to light up.

"Build them. Build a hundred cannons. Don't worry about money."

He waved his hand and spoke generously.

Money was not important.

He imagined those Soul Cannons being moved into the mountain gates of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

By then, their sect would truly be impregnable.

Ning Feng and the other researchers were thrilled by those words.

For researchers, their greatest concerns were insufficient research materials, stingy bosses, or having their funding choked off.

Now this wealthy patron had spoken.

However, they had not forgotten who was truly in charge here.

They looked at Ning Qinghe expectantly.

"Make arrangements for both the Research Institute and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

"The most important thing is still to perfect it. Without that, it is merely a one-use item, and a dangerous one at that."

Strengthening their defenses was also a good thing. After all, people from the major forces would definitely be coming here in a few days, and having a deterrent would help.

Ning Qinghe nodded.

"Yes, we will develop a practical Soul Cannon as soon as possible."

Ning Feng grew even more excited as he accepted the task.

The matter of the Soul Cannon was settled just like that.

They should have returned to their respective places, but Chen Xin suddenly sensed a certain aura and looked toward the entrance of the Research Institute.

"Hm? I did not expect a Titled Douluo to have already arrived in Seven Treasure City."

"That Old Poison? What is he doing here?"

Hearing Chen Xin, Bone Douluo was somewhat puzzled.

He had sensed the other party's presence as well.

Or rather, the other party had deliberately revealed it.

"Is it that Dugu Bo? I remember Qinghe was interested in him before, wasn't he?"

"Then let's go take a look."

Ning Fengzhi directly suggested it.

As someone who valued harmony and prosperity, he would not casually offend anyone.

"Let's take a look."

Ning Qinghe had not expected this test to draw out Old Poison.

Dugu Bo was, in fact, one of his targets for recruitment.

Mainly because he understood the man's circumstances. Although his personality was eccentric, he always repaid kindness. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect could take the initiative.

Combined with the so-called Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well and the Immortal Herbs, it could be said to be one of the greatest treasure vaults on Douluo Continent.

He had actually tried to make contact with him before, but had been refused every time. He had only gotten one or two chances to meet him, and the man could be said to be extremely arrogant.

Moreover, to avoid alerting him, after confirming his attitude, Ning Qinghe had not acted rashly. He had planned to try again after the Research Institute was revealed.

He had thought it would happen a month later. This was an unexpected pleasant surprise.

Outside the Extreme Research Institute.

Dugu Bo did not conceal his aura. He stood straight as a spear, his emerald-like eyes staring intensely into the Extreme Research Institute as if trying to see through it.

He knew about some of the recent developments involving the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. That was why he had come to Seven Treasure City, wanting to learn about Martial Souls.

In his view, these great sects certainly had more research into Martial Souls than he did. Even if they did not have the exact same problem, they might have similar cases.

As his granddaughter grew older, he had begun to feel like a desperate patient seeking any cure. As long as there was a chance to treat his granddaughter, he would appear and investigate it.

Very soon, Dugu Bo saw the figures he wanted to see.

At first, he had wanted to enter the Research Institute directly and inspect the situation. But after seeing Bone Douluo earlier, he honestly revealed his aura at the entrance instead.

"Poison Douluo, welcome to Seven Treasure City."

As the sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Fengzhi was naturally the one to offer the polite greeting.

The two Titled Douluo standing nearby merely nodded, serving as a deterrent.

Ning Qinghe stood casually nearby, wanting to see Dugu Bo's attitude.

He had some idea of the man's purpose.

"Sect Master Ning."

"I came to Seven Treasure City this time to ask for a favor. A few days ago, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect released the Martial Soul Evolution theory. May I take a look? I wish to learn more details."

"Whether it is money or something else, Sect Master Ning may name any condition."

Dugu Bo's expression was somewhat stiff.

After nodding to the two Titled Douluo, he greeted Ning Fengzhi.

As for Ning Qinghe, he did not care much about a young man.

His attitude was not particularly good, but it was not bad either. He directly stated his request, his voice hoarse as though he had not spoken to anyone for a long time.

"Martial Soul Evolution theory?"

Ning Fengzhi paused and looked toward Ning Qinghe.

After sensing his nod, he spoke directly.

"Poison Douluo, you have come to the wrong person. I am merely a sect administrator. How would I understand Martial Soul theories?"

"These Martial Soul theories, including this Extreme Research Institute, all belong to my youngest son."

"Qinghe, you have met Poison Douluo before."

As he spoke, he pulled Ning Qinghe forward.

He appeared to be letting the two converse.

"Poison Douluo."

Having been introduced, Ning Qinghe was considering how to get Old Poison to join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

He did not forget to offer a polite greeting.

Yet this made Dugu Bo misunderstand somewhat.

He had a vague impression of Ning Qinghe.
