Divine Radiant Pill, Training? Ning Fengzhi: Uncle Bone, go test this Phoenix youth's strength!

Listening to Zhu Zhuqing's blunt, almost accusatory tone, Huang Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, a flicker of annoyance crossing his mind.

However, Huang Yan did not lash out directly, his expression remaining calm.

Since these two girls had already stepped through the gates of the Divine Radiant Academy, there would be plenty of time to slowly discipline them later.

Huang Yan's gaze swept over the two women, his expression unreadable.

It had to be said that both of them were top-tier beauties in terms of appearance and figure.

Keeping them in the sect would be a feast for the eyes.

More importantly, there was their special status.

Ning Rongrong was the apple of the eye for Ning Fengzhi and the two Title Douluo, Sword and Bone.

Holding her in his grasp would make it incredibly easy to deal with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect in the future and siphon off massive resources.

As for Zhu Zhuqing, she was the legitimate daughter of the Nether Duke Mansion in the Star Luo Empire.

He inevitably had plans to march into the Star Luo Empire in the future, and taking in Zhu Zhuqing now would serve as an excellent chess piece.

After all, while Huang Yan's ultimate goal was to reach level one hundred and become a god, unifying the Douluo Continent was an essential cornerstone on this path to the heavens.

Thinking of this, the smile on the corners of Huang Yan's mouth deepened.

He casually tossed two exquisite jade bottles from his storage ring, which landed in the hands of the two girls respectively.

"Want resources? Of course, that's no problem. This is the secret medicine mentioned in the notice."

Zhu Zhuqing grabbed the jade bottle, a flash of intensity appearing in her cold eyes: "Can it be used now?"

"At any time." Huang Yan's tone was languid as he said indifferently: "This pill can cleanse your marrow and cut your hair, enhancing your cultivation aptitude. However, the medicinal effect is overbearing, and the process will be somewhat painful; it just depends on whether you can endure it."

This pill was refined by Huang Yan using the top-tier medicinal herbs from the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

Although his refining technique was somewhat crude, the results were unexpectedly good thanks to Huang Yan's own Flame of Radiance.

Huang Yan had named this pill the "Divine Radiant Pill."

The refining process for the Divine Radiant Pill was not exactly difficult, but it wasn't simple either.

Relying on his own talent and his knowledge of the pills from the later eras of the original work, Huang Yan had attempted to refine it.

To his surprise, he had succeeded on his very first attempt.

Its effects were equivalent to the Mystic Water Pill from the second era of Douluo.

Ning Rongrong curiously pulled out the bottle stopper, and a refreshing, strange medicinal fragrance immediately permeated the air.

She widened her eyes in surprise and looked at Huang Yan: "You're just giving us something so precious so casually? Hey, aren't you afraid that we'll take the benefits and run straight back home?"

Huang Yan crossed his arms, looking at her with a half-smile: "You are welcome to try. But I guarantee that once you experience the benefits of this secret medicine, you won't want to leave even if I chase you away with a broom."

Zhu Zhuqing put the jade bottle away without hesitation and looked straight at Huang Yan: "As long as it gives me the power to change my fate, I will absolutely abide by the rules of the Divine Radiant Sect."

"Very good." Huang Yan nodded with satisfaction, his tone filled with an unquestionable dominance: "Since you have taken my things, from today on, you are people of my Divine Radiant Sect. Remember, here, my word is the only rule!"

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, main assembly hall.

Ning Fengzhi looked at the secret letter that had just been sent back, his brows furrowed slightly as he let out a soft sigh.

"Fengzhi, what is it? Did that girl Rongrong cause trouble outside?"

Bone Douluo Gu Rong strode over, his booming voice echoing through the vast hall.

Sword Douluo Chen Xin also stopped wiping his Seven Kill Sword and looked up, his gaze sharp: "Did someone from Shrek Academy bully her? If she has truly been wronged, I shall go and cleave that wretched village in two this instant!"

"Uncle Sword, Uncle Bone, please don't get excited yet." Ning Fengzhi shook his head helplessly and placed the secret letter on the table: "Rongrong hasn't been bullied, it's just... she has left Shrek Academy."

"Leaving is a good thing!" Gu Rong slapped his thigh and snorted: "I said it long ago, that pathetic Shrek place Flender put together isn't worthy of our Rongrong at all! Has the girl had enough fun and is she already on her way back to the sect?"

"Not exactly." Ning Fengzhi gave a bitter smile, his gaze deep: "The secret letter says that Rongrong followed that little girl from the Zhu family of the Star Luo Empire and went to enroll in a newly established academy called Divine Radiant Academy."

"Divine Radiant Academy?" Chen Xin frowned, a trace of doubt flashing in his eyes: "When did such an academy appear in the Heaven Dou Empire? I've never even heard of it; it wouldn't be another fly-by-night operation looking to swindle money, would it?"

Ning Fengzhi's expression gradually turned grave: "This Divine Radiant Academy, or rather, the Divine Radiant Sect, is not simple. According to the information sent back by our scouts, the Peerless Dragon and Serpent couple, and even Poison Douluo Dugu Bo, all hold the title of Supreme Elder within this Divine Radiant Sect."

"What?!" Gu Rong's eyes widened, his face full of disbelief: "That Old Poison has always been a lone wolf, not even giving face to the Heaven Dou imperial family, yet he would actually join a newly founded sect?!"

Chen Xin's eyes turned cold as he gripped the hilt of his sword: "What exactly is the background of this Divine Radiant Sect? With even Dugu Bo there, what if Rongrong is in danger? Fengzhi, I will go there myself and bring her back!"

"Uncle Sword, wait." Ning Fengzhi raised a hand to stop Chen Xin, his eyes flashing with wisdom and contemplation: "Although Rongrong is spoiled, she is not stupid. A place that can make her stay voluntarily must have its secrets. Furthermore, the secret letter mentioned something even more incredible."

"What is it?" Gu Rong asked urgently.

"The Sect Master of this Divine Radiant Sect is neither Dugu Bo nor Dragon Duke Meng Shu." Ning Fengzhi took a deep breath and said slowly: "Instead, it is a boy of twelve or thirteen, whose martial soul appears to be some kind of extremely rare phoenix."

The hall fell silent instantly.

Chen Xin and Gu Rong looked at each other, both seeing shock in the other's eyes.

"A twelve or thirteen-year-old Sect Master? Able to make Old Poison and the Dragon Duke and Serpent Granny willingly submit? How is this possible!" Gu Rong gasped.

"The facts are as they are." Ning Fengzhi tapped his fingers lightly on the table and said in a low voice: "Since Rongrong has already entered, we shall observe the changes for now."

"I would like to see just how capable this mysterious Divine Radiant Sect and its young Sect Master truly are."

Ning Fengzhi paused, then turned his head to look at Gu Rong:

"Uncle Bone, I must trouble you to go there in secret."

"As long as Rongrong is not in any life-threatening danger, do not reveal yourself."

"While you are at it, investigate the background of that young man."

"Rest assured, leave it to me!"

Gu Rong replied in a deep voice, his figure flashing as he transformed into a cloud of black mist and vanished from the great hall.

Divine Radiant Academy, inner courtyard meditation room.

"Consume it right here in this meditation room."

Huang Yan pointed to the two prayer mats in the center of the room.
