Heaven Dou City, Shrek Academy.
Early in the morning, Su Ming knew that Sect Master Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was coming. After all, he had told Ning Rongrong yesterday that if he came, he would certainly bring either Sword Douluo or Bone Douluo, and it was even possible that both of these sect-protecting Douluos would arrive.
Su Ming informed Dean Flender, asking him to pay attention to the reception.
Therefore, Su Ming headed to Dugu Manor early in the morning to find Dugu Bo. After catching up with Dugu Bo at the manor, the two of them headed straight for Shrek Academy.
Sure enough, as soon as they arrived at the entrance of Shrek Academy, Dean Zhao Wuji was already waiting there.
Seeing Su Ming and Dugu Bo walk up to the school gate, Zhao Wuji hurriedly bowed to Dugu Bo.
"Senior Dugu, please, this way."
The three of them walked toward the reception hall on the fourth floor of the teaching building. On the way, Zhao Wuji introduced the members who had come from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
"Senior Dugu, Su Ming, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has sent Sect Master Ning Fengzhi, and both the Sword and Bone Douluos are here as well."
"Su Ming, you kid, be careful."
"Don't worry, Teacher Zhao. I have made sufficient preparations; nothing will go wrong."
Hearing this, Zhao Wuji said no more.
Su Ming then spoke to Dugu Bo.
"Old Monster, if they threaten me later, don't say a word when you hear it. Just stand up and Fly away directly. Fly to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and wait for the final result of the negotiations. Before things are settled, scaring them will be enough."
"As for me, you don't need to worry. You've seen that Soul Core of mine; if I detonate it, I'll take Ning Fengzhi down with me."
Hearing Su Ming's words, Dugu Bo understood what he meant. It was nothing more than pushing for more favorable terms for Su Ming, and since Sect Master Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect wasn't a fool, he would know that Su Ming had a trump card for deterrence.
Since they were going to cooperate, they might as well pull off a big scam.
"Alright, Little Monster, no problem. I'll run as soon as I hear him threaten you. When you and Ning Fengzhi have finished negotiating, remember to get Yan Yan a ten-thousand-year-level ice-attribute dragon-type soul bone."
"No problem, I will definitely get Sister Yan Yan the best one."
Zhao Wuji, walking beside them, felt a bit ashamed hearing their conversation—one moment talking about running away if there was danger, the next talking about ten-thousand-year soul bones.
Zhao Wuji soon led Su Ming and Dugu Bo to the door of the reception room on the fourth floor of the teaching building, then spoke up.
"The people from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect are all inside. Su Ming, Senior Dugu, you two go in; I won't go in to disturb you."
After saying this, Zhao Wuji left directly.
Su Ming stepped forward and pushed the door open. He saw Ning Fengzhi sitting at the head of the conference table, leisurely drinking tea. To his left and right were Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, and beside them was Dean Flender, who was busy brewing tea.
Bone Douluo Gu Rong sat there with his eyes closed, resting. It wasn't until the two of them walked into the conference room that his eyes snapped open. An undisguised sharpness swept over Su Ming, who was in the lead, as if he wanted to see right through Su Ming's body.
Sword Douluo Chen Xin looked at Dugu Bo, who was much younger, behind Su Ming. Dugu Bo's gaze also caught Sword Douluo Chen Xin's. Their eyes clashed for a moment; a level 94 versus a level 95. As a Super Douluo, Sword Douluo held a slight upper hand.
Ning Rongrong stood obediently behind Ning Fengzhi, sticking her tongue out at Su Ming.
Out of politeness, Su Ming took the initiative to greet Ning Fengzhi, who had already stood up.
"Hello, Sect Master Ning. Sorry to have kept you waiting."
Ning Fengzhi glanced at Dugu Bo behind Su Ming, naturally knowing why Su Ming was late. He smiled slightly and said, "It is nothing. Your Excellency Poison Douluo, let us sit together."
After sitting down, Ning Fengzhi continued:
"Su Ming, I can call you that, right?"
Su Ming nodded and said, "Sect Master Ning, of course you can."
"In that case, you don't need to call me Sect Master Ning. You and Rongrong are classmates, so just call me Uncle Ning."
"Alright, Uncle Ning."
Seeing that the introductions were mostly done, Flender quickly took over the conversation, chatting with Ning Fengzhi and the others about Su Ming's time in Suotuo City.
After some more pleasantries, Flender saw that the conversation was winding down and realized it was time for him to leave, so he found an excuse to take his leave.
At this moment, only Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo, Ning Rongrong, Ning Fengzhi, Su Ming, and Dugu Bo remained in the reception room. The room fell into a brief silence.
Seeing this, Ning Fengzhi took the initiative to break the silence and asked Su Ming:
"Su Ming, I heard that you can help others evolve their martial souls. I wonder if our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's inherited martial soul, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, can be promoted to a Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda with your help?"
Hearing Ning Fengzhi's words, Su Ming leaned back in his chair and spoke.
"It can."
Before anyone else could speak, Ning Rongrong jumped up first, then asked Su Ming with an excited expression.
"Yay! Then can my Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda be promoted to a Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda? You told me to bring my father yesterday, and now my father is here. What is the method for evolution? Tell me quickly!"
"I accidentally obtained a new type of medicinal herb suitable for gem-type martial souls, and I refined it into two pills."
Speaking of this, Su Ming looked at the expectant eyes of Ning Fengzhi and Ning Rongrong.
"The effect of these two pills is that a single one is enough to promote the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda to a Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda."
Ning Rongrong was practically Ning Fengzhi's mouthpiece.
"Really? Can you let us see them?"
Su Ming heard Ning Rongrong's words and looked at Ning Fengzhi's expectant gaze.
Seeing this, Su Ming took a jade bottle directly from his storage Soul Tool, poured out a medicinal pill, held it in his palm with Soul Power, and slowly sent it toward Ning Fengzhi's hand using his Soul Power.
The moment Ning Fengzhi received the pill into his palm with his own Soul Power, he caught a faint yet rich scent of tulips, the dense medicinal aura giving off a feeling of opulence and grandeur.
Ning Fengzhi only had to smell the fragrance to feel a massive, devouring desire erupt from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul within his body, as if it were telling him that as long as he consumed this pill, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda could evolve into the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda.
Ning Rongrong also caught the scent and immediately spoke up:
"Wow, it smells so good! Su Ming, didn't you have two of them? Why did you only take out one?"
Su Ming just smiled and said nothing.
Bone Douluo Gu Rong, standing to the side, saw Ning Fengzhi freeze after taking the pill with an expression of excitement, and he knew the pill was effective, so he immediately spoke to Su Ming.
"Kid, it's just you and Poison Douluo here; aren't you afraid we'll just snatch it by force, taking it out so brazenly?"
Hearing these threatening words, Dugu Bo followed their prior agreement, stood up without a word, and walked straight outside.
Bone Douluo was stunned to see this and immediately called out to Dugu Bo.
"I say, Old Poison, are you scared and planning to run? Where do you think you're going?"
By now, Dugu Bo was already flying toward the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and upon hearing Bone Douluo's words, his voice drifted back.
"I'm not going anywhere in particular. I heard the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has beautiful scenery, so I plan to go take a look. What, am I not welcome?"
Having regained his composure, Ning Fengzhi quickly spoke up.
"Welcome, of course you are welcome! For Poison Douluo to visit our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is our sect's honor."
He then signaled for Bone Douluo to follow quickly.
