News of the battle between the Titled Douluo in Suotuo City spread throughout the entire continent in no time.
Titled Douluo, a powerful figure at the pinnacle of the Spirit Master World, is inherently extremely attractive. Furthermore, the fact that Titled Douluo are actually fighting in a human city has caused the news to spread like wildfire.
All the major sects and families in the Spirit Master World are speculating about which Titled Douluo has such a lack of moral bottom line and is so heartless as to actually make a move in the city. The nearest place is the Soto Great Soul Arena, a place with a large flow of people.
Generally Titled Douluo usually spar and fight in an open area. If they fight in a city and cause casualties to the city's residents, the reputation of that Titled Douluo will be ruined.
If the actions go too far, resulting in numerous casualties and causing a severe negative impact, the Spirit Hall might even dispatch several Titled Douluo elders to gang up on and subdue the Titled Douluo, then throw him into the Slaughter City.
There are precedents in the Spirit Master World for capturing Titled Douluo and throwing them into the Slaughter City. The captain of the Slaughter City's enforcement team was a powerful expert whose cultivation had reached the level of Titled Douluo, and he was once infamous on the continent.
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Ning Fengzhi was shocked to learn from his subordinates' report that the battle between the Titled Douluo took place in Suotuo City. He immediately sent his sect disciples to investigate and learned that fortunately, there were no casualties. In other words, his beloved daughter, Ning Rongrong, the little princess and young sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the next sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, and the most likely candidate to Martial Soul Evolution into the Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, was safe and sound. He breathed a sigh of relief.
But when Ning Fengzhi learned that Ning Rongrong had run away from the Shrek Academy and gone to the Spirit Hall Academy, his expression changed slightly. He waved his hand and dismissed his disciple.
Beside him, Bone Douluo stood up, a hint of reproach on his face. "Rongrong, how can she be so insensible? Doesn't she know what the Spirit Hall's attitude towards our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has always been? How dare she run off to the Spirit Hall alone?"
"Fengzhi, let's go to the Spirit Hall right away and bring Rongrong back. This time I will definitely discipline her properly and not let her be so naughty again."
In the past, Bone Douluo and Sword Douluo spoiled Ning Rongrong because Ning Rongrong was always causing trouble and being a little willful, but she had never made any major mistakes. However, this time Ning Rongrong actually ran off to the Spirit Hall on her own, which was really too naughty and willful. Bone Douluo felt that he could no longer spoil Ning Rongrong.
"Wait a minute, Uncle Bone." Ning Fengzhi's eyes showed a thoughtful expression. "Don't you find it strange? Why would the Spirit Hall send someone to Suotuo City to find Shrek Academy, a Soul Master Academy that, although developing well, has never been recognized by the Balak Kingdom?"
No matter how well Soul Master Academy develops or how many students it has, if it is not recognized by the state, it is still a diploma mill and is not qualified to participate in the Elite Advanced Soul Master Academy Competition.
"The fact that Title Douluos are fighting this time, and in the city at that, means that one of them must be a Title Douluo from the Spirit Hall. So what Title Douluo harbors such great malice towards the Spirit Hall that he would rather ruin his reputation than not take action against them in the city?"
Although Flender, out of consideration for his reputation, did not reveal much about the battle between the Shrek Seven Devils and the Spirit Hall team at the Soto Great Soul Arena, Ning Fengzhi, based on clues, gradually pieced together the truth of most of the events in just a few words.
Bone Douluo thought for a moment and said, "Among the Titled Douluo on the continent who harbor such malice towards the Spirit Hall, only Tang Xiao is so. So many years have passed, I wonder if Tang Xiao has broken through to the Titled Douluo. He lost an arm, and his injuries are quite severe, so it will probably be very difficult for him to break through to the Titled Douluo level."
"If it's not Tang Xiao, then it can only be Tang Hao, but how could Tang Hao be in Suotuo City?"
Ning Fengzhi revealed a faint smile, his eyes gleaming with wisdom, and said, "It seems there's something seriously wrong with the Shrek Academy."
At this moment, another disciple from the sect jogged in and said, "Reporting to the sect, there is a middle-aged man outside requesting an audience, saying he is an old acquaintance of yours."
Alone?
A thoughtful look flashed across Ning Fengzhi's eyes before he said, "Let him in."
Not long after, a middle-aged man dressed in gray walked in. The man had bronze skin, bulging muscles, and was over two meters tall, making him look like a fortress. Unfortunately, the man's left sleeve was empty.
This middle-aged man was Tang Xiao, who had disappeared for nine years and had gone to Sea God Island.
"Sect Master Ning, Senior Bone Douluo, it's been a long time."
Ning Fengzhi said gently, "Brother Tang Xiao, it's so good to see you again. Didn't you go to Sea God Island? How are your injuries?"
Tang Xiao replied, "Thanks to Sect Master Ning's concern, I have been cultivating in seclusion on Sea God Island for four years. My injuries have healed, and my cultivation has broken through to the Titled Douluo."
As he spoke, Soul Ring appeared beneath Tang Xiao's feet: two yellow, two purple, four black, and one dark red. The last Soul Ring one that was nearly 100,000 years old, releasing the Soul Power fluctuations of a level 94 Titled Douluo.
Tang Xiao underwent the Sea God Trial and received the Black Level Four Trials. The first Black Level First Trial was naturally climbing the Sea God Staircase. While climbing the stairs, under the Sea God's Light of the Sea God's Light, the toxins left by Dugu Bo in his body were gradually erased, and his cultivation reached a bottleneck, obtaining a God-Given Soul Ring.
He struggled to withstand the pressure of the God-Given Soul Ring and finally obtained a ninth Soul Ring that could solve problems for an infinite number of 100,000 years.
After Tang Xiao finished absorbing the God-Given Soul Ring, he was filled with regret and anger. During the process of absorbing the Soul Ring, he realized that the stronger his physical attributes were, the longer he could absorb the God-Given Soul Ring.
If only he had absorbed the Soul Bone left by his father, Tang Xiao, as soon as possible. If he had Soul Bone left by his father Tang Xiao, and improved his physical fitness, or if his left arm hadn't been shattered into a bloody mist during the battle that destroyed the Clear Sky Sect, with his physical fitness and willpower, he would definitely have been able to obtain a God-Given Soul Ring of the 100,000-year level.
Because he failed to obtain a divinely bestowed ninth spirit Soul Ring of the 100,000-year level, Tang Xiao's hatred for the Spirit Hall deepened even further.
"Congratulations, Brother Tang Xiao! It seems you've had quite a stroke of luck on Sea God Island."
Ning Fengzhi smiled faintly, a considerable interest rising in his heart in Sea God Island. He even considered sending Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo there to see if they could also obtain opportunities like Tang Xiao.
Tang Xiao, seeing Ning Fengzhi's idea, said, "Sect Master Ning, do you want your sect's disciples to go to Sea God Island for training? I advise you not to. Once a land-based Soul Master enters Sea God Island, they will have to stay on Sea God Island for life and become a member of Sea God Island."
