Return to the Sect! Ning Fengzhi Proposes a Marriage Alliance!

"Wonderful! Rongrong will be able to help Zhao Tian in the future!"

Ning Rongrong cheered excitedly, her face full of smiles.

The first thing she thought of was not that she had become stronger, but that she could better support Zhao Tian.

Zhao Tian felt a slight warmth in his heart at her words.

This future little devil was, at this moment, merely a pure and kind little girl.

"Rongrong, your martial soul talent was already exceptional. With the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear soul ring on top of that, your future achievements will be limitless."

Chen Xin said with satisfaction.

"All right. Since you have both obtained your soul rings, it is time for us to head back. Your father and Bone Grandpa are still waiting at the sect for good news."

Chen Xin summoned the Seven Kill Sword.

The three leaped onto the blade, and the sword shot into the sky, flying toward the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

On the way back, Ning Rongrong chattered excitedly without pause. One moment, she showed off her Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda; the next, she asked Zhao Tian whether her support abilities were impressive.

Zhao Tian patiently answered every one of her questions, a faint smile always lingering on his lips.

This girl would become one of his most dependable companions on Douluo Continent.

The sword was incredibly fast. In less than half an hour, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect came into view.

Before the sect's main hall, Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong were still waiting.

Seeing the three return safely, both of them breathed sighs of relief.

The sword descended, and Zhao Tian and Ning Rongrong jumped down from its blade.

"Uncle Jian, how did the trip go?"

Ning Fengzhi stepped forward and asked, his gaze moving back and forth between Zhao Tian and Ning Rongrong.

"Tian'er obtained his first soul ring. His Soul Power reached level thirteen, and his first soul skill is astonishingly powerful."

Chen Xin first spoke of Zhao Tian's situation.

Even though Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong had been mentally prepared, they were still greatly shocked upon hearing this.

"What about Rongrong?"

Ning Fengzhi was naturally most concerned about his daughter.

Chen Xin smiled. "We were fortunate enough to encounter a heavenly treasure, the Jade Marrow Ganoderma. Rongrong consumed it and broke through to level ten. Then, we hunted a hundred-year Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear for her first soul ring. Her Soul Power has now reached level twelve."

"What? You found Jade Marrow Ganoderma?! She broke through to level ten?! You hunted a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear? Level twelve?"

Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong both revealed shocked expressions.

They had not expected their luck to be this good!

It seemed Rongrong had been right to insist on going with them this time.

And her first soul ring was actually a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear!

They knew better than anyone what level of soul beast that was.

Throughout the generations of Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda wielders, no one had ever used such a soul beast as a soul ring.

The Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear belonged to the super soul beast tier!

"Furthermore, Rongrong's first soul skill, Power Amplification, reached an effect of one hundred percent!"

Chen Xin added.

This time, Ning Fengzhi could no longer remain seated.

A one-hundred-percent strength increase meant Ning Rongrong's talent and potential far surpassed those of every previous Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda wielder, including him, the current one!

"Rongrong, quickly release your martial soul and let me see it."

Ning Fengzhi said excitedly.

Ning Rongrong obediently nodded and summoned her Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda.

A dark golden sheen flowed across the pagoda's surface, radiating an aura entirely different from that of an ordinary Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda.

"Good, wonderful!"

Ning Fengzhi was so excited that his eyes had begun to redden.

"Tian'er, Rongrong, the two of you are the future of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!"

Gu Rong nodded repeatedly as well, his eyes full of gratification.

Standing in the main hall, Ning Fengzhi's gaze shifted repeatedly between Zhao Tian and Ning Rongrong as a certain thought in his heart grew ever clearer.

What had happened today made him finally make up his mind.

Zhao Tian's talent was beyond question. A Radiant Phoenix, Innate Full Soul Power, a five-hundred-year Holy Light Phoenix as his first soul ring, Soul Power directly reaching level thirteen, and an incredibly powerful first soul skill.

Such a genius was an exceedingly rare sight across all of Douluo Continent.

More importantly, there was Zhao Tian's character.

When faced with a heavenly treasure like the Jade Marrow Ganoderma, he had not shown the slightest greed and had willingly given it to Rongrong.

Such magnanimity and vision were not something an ordinary six-year-old child could possess.

On top of that, there was the fortune inherent to the Radiant Phoenix.

They had encountered the Jade Marrow Ganoderma and the Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear one after another today. If anyone claimed that Zhao Tian had nothing to do with it, Ning Fengzhi would never believe it.

Fortune was an intangible and ethereal thing, but Ning Fengzhi understood its importance well.

A person blessed with immense fortune could often turn danger into safety and misfortune into blessings, bringing those around him to greater heights as well.

And his daughter, Ning Rongrong, was no less outstanding.

The Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda, innate level-nine Soul Power, a Dark Gold Terrorclaw Bear from the super soul beast tier as her first soul ring, and an unprecedented one-hundred-percent amplification effect for her first soul skill.

If these two children could become husband and wife, how powerful would the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect become in the future?

More importantly, anyone with eyes could see Rongrong's attitude toward Zhao Tian.

They were practically a match made in heaven!

From initially being unhappy that "he stole her attention," to now saying, "Zhao Tian, you're so nice," and, "You'll be Rongrong's best friend from now on," Ning Fengzhi had watched every bit of that change.

The two children might be young, but affection could be nurtured from childhood.

Once they grew into adults, this childhood bond would naturally blossom into something more.

"Fengzhi, what are you thinking about?"

Chen Xin noticed Ning Fengzhi's unusual behavior and asked.

Ning Fengzhi came back to his senses, took a deep breath, and fixed his gaze on Zhao Tian.

"Tian'er, I have something to discuss with you."

Zhao Tian was slightly startled, then respectfully said, "Please speak, Teacher."

Ning Fengzhi pondered for a moment before slowly speaking. "Tian'er, you are six years old, and Rongrong is also six. You are close in age and evenly matched in talent. After spending today together, I can see that the two of you get along quite well."

Zhao Tian's heart stirred, and he vaguely guessed what Ning Fengzhi was about to say.

"I wish to betroth Rongrong to you. Once you have both grown into adults, you will formally marry."

Ning Fengzhi went straight to the point without the slightest hesitation.

The hall instantly fell silent.

Ning Rongrong's eyes widened, and her little face flushed bright red.

Though she was only six years old, she understood what "betrothal" and "marriage" meant.

"Dad! What are you talking about?!"

Ning Rongrong stamped her foot and shyly turned away, yet her ears were pricked high, afraid of missing Zhao Tian's answer.

Gu Rong and Chen Xin exchanged a glance, and both saw amusement in the other's eyes.

The two of them had long known about this matter, and they supported it as well.

Otherwise, back in the main hall, they would not have tacitly allowed Ning Fengzhi to propose the compromise of having all three take disciples and appointing a young sect master in advance.

That proposal had essentially been laying the groundwork for today's marriage alliance.

Zhao Tian was slightly startled. Although he had expected it, he had not imagined Ning Fengzhi would be so direct.

Having transmigrated into this world, he naturally knew the course of the original story.

Ning Rongrong was the eldest daughter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. In the future, she would be one of the Shrek Seven Devils and Tang San's teammate.

But now, his appearance had changed everything.
