"Rongrong..."
Ning Fengzhi's eyes were bloodshot, tears streaming from his eyes.
Even the combined efforts of two Title Douluo could not save Rongrong.
And looking at the aggressive and ruthless style of the Martial Soul Hall.
Could Rongrong possibly have a good outcome after falling into their hands?
That Lin Qiu had even blasted the Star Luo Prince into dust without a second thought.
Rongrong... she had likely already met a tragic end!
"You... you bunch of devils!"
Ning Fengzhi pointed at the high platform, his voice shrill and wretched, "What have you done to Rongrong? If you dare to harm her, my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will fight you to the death, even if we have to shed our very last drop of blood!"
The representatives of the various major powers nearby, watching this usually elegant and refined Sect Master lose his composure so completely, could not help but feel a sense of sorrow, like a rabbit mourning the death of a fox.
It was too miserable.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had truly been finished today.
His daughter captured, her life or death unknown.
His two guardian deities crushed in public.
Was this Martial Soul Hall truly planning to Shroud the Heavens with a single hand?
Lin Qiu watched Ning Fengzhi, who was wailing as if his heart were breaking, and couldn't help but roll his eyes.
"Alright, alright, stop howling."
Lin Qiu picked at his ear, "Anyone who didn't know better would think I'd done something to you."
"Who said your daughter is dead?"
"Rongrong!"
Lin Qiu turned his head and shouted toward the interior of the Pope Palace, "Are you done eating yet? If you're finished, hurry up and come out; your father is out here holding a funeral for you."
No sooner had the words left his mouth than the doors of the Pope Palace were pushed open.
A crisp, melodious voice drifted out.
"Oh, stop rushing me!"
"This fruit is so delicious, I haven't even finished nibbling it yet!"
Following the voice, a little girl dressed in a light green dress, as delicate as if carved from jade, came skipping out.
She was holding a Golden Fruit that emitted a rich, exotic fragrance, her mouth smeared with juice and her little face flushed, looking healthier than ever.
It was none other than Ning Rongrong, who had been missing for many days.
"Daddy? Sword Grandpa? Bone Grandpa?"
Ning Rongrong saw the disheveled scene in the plaza and her eyes widened, "What happened to you all? Are you playing some kind of game? Why are you all lying on the ground?"
Gasp?
Ning Fengzhi's wailing came to an abrupt halt.
Chen Xin and Gu Rong ignored their own injuries, staring fixedly at that familiar figure.
Rongrong?
She hadn't been tortured?
She looked... as if she had even gained a little weight?
"Rongrong!"
Ning Fengzhi trembled all over with excitement, wanting to rush over, but he dared not move recklessly due to the deterrent presence of Bibi Dong.
"Daddy!"
Ning Rongrong waved her hand excitedly when she saw Ning Fengzhi, "Why did you only come to pick me up now? This place is absolutely amazing! Brother Lin Qiu has been so good to me, he's given me so many delicious things to eat!"
As she spoke, she took another bite of the Golden Fruit in her hand.
A surge of majestic life essence instantly overflowed from the fruit, making everyone nearby feel invigorated just by catching a whiff.
"That is..."
Chrysanthemum Douluo Yue Guan, standing to the side, stared with wide, unblinking eyes, "That is... a Sacred Herb?! This girl is actually eating a Sacred Herb like it's a piece of fruit?"
Ning Fengzhi also noticed that something was wrong at this moment.
The aura on Rongrong's body...
How had it become so powerful?
Right now...
The soul power fluctuations radiating from Rongrong were actually more profound than those of an average Soul Ancestor!
"Rongrong, your soul power..." Ning Fengzhi's voice trembled.
"Heehee, look, Dad!"
Ning Rongrong swallowed the rest of the fruit in a few bites as if presenting a treasure, then clapped her hands.
"I'm already a level forty Soul Ancestor now!"
Level forty!
A level forty Soul Ancestor!
The entire crowd gasped in unison.
How could this be possible?
This had surely shattered the historical records of the Douluo Continent!
Even a genius with Innate Full Soul Power could not possibly reach this level at her age!
"That's not all, either."
Ning Rongrong blinked her large eyes, a mysterious smile appearing on her face. "Brother Lin Qiu even helped my Martial Soul evolve!"
As she spoke, she turned her right palm upward, and light surged forth.
A crystal-clear pagoda, radiating nine-colored light, slowly emerged in the palm of her hand.
It was different from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda of the past.
This pagoda's light was more brilliant, and its aura was more divine.
Most importantly.
The number of its levels.
One, two, three... seven, eight, nine!
Nine levels!
That was nine levels!
"Nine... Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda?!"
Ning Fengzhi stood frozen on the spot, as if struck by lightning.
He had dreamed his entire life of evolving the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda to break the sect's curse of being unable to surpass level eighty.
For this, he had spent his whole life searching for a way, yet he had never found the door.
But now.
Right before his eyes.
His daughter had actually succeeded!
"This... this is the legendary Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda..."
Chen Xin and Gu Rong could no longer care about their injuries; their eyes were filled with fanaticism and shock.
"How is this possible... how is this possible..."
Ning Fengzhi muttered to himself, then suddenly looked toward Lin Qiu on the high platform.
If he had previously felt wariness and fear toward Lin Qiu.
Then now.
In his eyes, there remained only an emotion called "awe."
This youth was not only terrifyingly powerful, possessing a divine artifact capable of crushing a Title Douluo.
He could even break the shackles of a Martial Soul and evolve the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda!
This was nothing short of a miracle!
"Brother Lin Qiu said this is called the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda."
Ning Rongrong proudly held up the pagoda and spun around. "Isn't it amazing? I feel terrifyingly strong right now!"
The crowd in the plaza had become completely numb.
Everything that had happened today had struck at their worldview again and again.
First, killing a prince in an instant.
Then, beating a Title Douluo with a stick.
And now, producing a Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
Where on earth did this monster named Lin Qiu crawl out from?
The light of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was even more dazzling than the sun under the midday sky.
It was a luster of gemstones pure to the extreme, with dreamlike colors flowing across the nine-story tower body, each level seemingly containing a profound truth of heaven and earth.
Ning Fengzhi stared foolishly at the pagoda in his daughter's hand, his breathing nearly coming to a halt.
A lifelong wish of decades.
The chasm that every past Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had been unable to cross until their dying day.
At this very moment, it had been crossed with such casual ease.
The reason was actually just because of... a single fruit?
Ning Fengzhi whipped his head around, staring fixedly at the languid-looking youth not far away.
It was this youth named Lin Qiu who had casually pulled out a stick and smashed two Title Douluo until they questioned their own existence.
It was also this youth who had casually pulled out a fruit and created the first Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Soul Master in the history of the Douluo Continent.
How could this be a devil?
This was clearly a living, breathing deity!
Ning Fengzhi was a smart man, and an extremely rational Sect Master.
In this instant, all the hatred, wariness, and fear in his mind were completely washed away by the word "profit."
What face?
What dignity?
In the face of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, those were all bullsh*t!
