Canonizing the Holy Son

"Hahaha, of course not."

Yue Guan laughed aloud, his somewhat delicate voice making the sound seem a little sinister. "I said it already—he's an unparalleled monster. If his first soul ring were only at the hundred-year level, how could he deserve to be called a monster?"

Now the elders were shocked.

If it was not at the hundred-year level, then could it be...

"A thousand-year one?"

Ghost Leopard Douluo asked, somewhat unable to believe it.

"Heh. You think a thousand-year one is enough to be called a monster?"

Yue Guan gave a scornful laugh, his eyes suddenly shining as he said with ringing emphasis, "That kid's soul ring is at the ten-thousand-year level!"

"Wait... Elder Yue Guan, what did you just say?"

The elders all wore expressions that said, Did I hear that wrong?

"That child's first soul ring is from an Earth Rock Dragon Armor Beast with over thirty thousand years of cultivation. His second soul ring is from a Violent Flame King Bear with over forty thousand years."

Yue Guan said it lightly, the corners of his mouth lifting slightly.

"E-Elder Yue Guan, now is not the time for jokes."

One elder swallowed and spoke to Yue Guan.

They had heard what Yue Guan said clearly.

But that statement was practically a fantasy. They simply could not accept it or believe it.

His first and second soul rings were already at the ten-thousand-year level.

Was he kidding?

How could such a Soul Master exist!

Who did not know that if the age of the first soul ring exceeded five hundred years, the Soul Power it carried could blow a Soul Master's body apart!

"Hmph. Do you think I'm joking?"

Yue Guan put away the smile on his face. "I personally accompanied that child to hunt those soul beasts."

Gulp!

The sound of swallowing rang out in unison throughout the meeting room.

Now, let alone the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect feeling afraid—even these Titled Douluo felt fear—

There was a bleak feeling of the old waves being smashed dead on the beach by the new waves, wasn't there?

That child could already absorb such powerful soul rings now. Once he grew up, what heights would he reach?

"I intend to canonize Lin Bei as the Holy Son."

At this moment, Bibi Dong spoke. She looked at the elders present. "Now, elders, please share your opinions."

Only now did She Long and the others finally understand why Bibi Dong had gathered them for a meeting today.

So it was to establish her disciple's status as Holy Son.

Using Spirit Hall's Holy Son to form a Marriage Alliance with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect—especially when this Holy Son possessed terrifying potential and talent—how could the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect refuse?

First, the status of Spirit Hall's Holy Son was extremely noble, comparable to the Crown Prince of the two great empires, and he was well matched with the daughter of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's sect master.

Second, the Holy Son possessed unparalleled potential and talent. If the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect refused the Marriage Alliance, then they would have to consider what attitude this Holy Son would hold toward the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect after he grew up.

After all, Spirit Hall's Holy Son was, in a certain sense, the heir to the next Pope of Spirit Hall.

Having thought through the crux of it, all the elders had no choice but to admit that Bibi Dong's move was extremely brilliant. Now the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had only two choices—

Either become Spirit Hall's ally.

Or become Spirit Hall's enemy.

They could no longer maintain the same ambiguous attitude as before.

This was forcing the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to make a choice.

In any case, Spirit Hall, as the active party giving them the choice, stood completely invincible in this game.

After a round of discussion, regardless of their motives, the elders present all agreed to Bibi Dong's proposal and believed Lin Bei could serve as Spirit Hall's Holy Son.

Bibi Dong's icy expression softened somewhat. She nodded slightly and said, "Then three weeks from now, we will hold the grand ceremony to canonize the Holy Son. Elders, after you leave, make the necessary preparations."

"Yes, Your Holiness!"

Before long, invitations were sent out from Spirit Hall one after another.

Of the Seven Great Sects, aside from the reclusive Clear Sky Sect, every sect received an invitation from Spirit Hall.

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

In the Council Hall, Ning Fengzhi sat in the main seat. To his left and right sat two elders respectively, Gu Rong and Chen Xin.

"Uncle Rong, Uncle Chen, Spirit Hall is going to canonize a Holy Son three weeks from now, and they even sent us an invitation. What do you think?"

Ning Fengzhi was the first to ask.

Gu Rong frowned. "Canonizing a Holy Son... Is Spirit Hall in that much of a hurry to find the Pope a successor?"

As far as he knew, the current Pope, Bibi Dong, was only in her forties, right in the prime of her energy, and she herself was also a Titled Douluo. Why would she look for a successor so early?

Chen Xin, standing to the side, also felt somewhat puzzled. "And I heard that the Holy Son being canonized this time is extremely young, only six or seven years old."

"Six or seven..."

For some reason, the figure of a little boy flashed through Ning Fengzhi's mind.

It couldn't really be that little fellow, could it...

Ning Fengzhi shook his head and continued discussing Spirit Hall's purpose in this canonization with Gu Rong and Chen Xin. They felt Spirit Hall's actions were somewhat strange.

But they could not say exactly what was strange about them.

In the end, Ning Fengzhi could only say, "Since we've received the invitation, we can't very well not go... How about this, Uncle Rong, I'll have to trouble you to make the trip with me when the time comes. Uncle Chen will stay behind to guard the sect."

Gu Rong and Chen Xin nodded.

For now, that was all they could do.

Just then, a tiny figure suddenly ran into the hall. "Daddy, Grandpa Gu Rong, Grandpa Chen Xin, what are you talking about?"

"Ah, it's Rongrong."

When they saw the little girl, Gu Rong and Chen Xin both revealed doting smiles.

Ning Fengzhi smiled and picked Ning Rongrong up into his arms. "Daddy and your two grandpas weren't talking about anything. But Rongrong, have you finished your lessons today?"

"I finished them already."

Ning Rongrong did not sit quietly even in Ning Fengzhi's arms. She stretched out her little hand and reached for the long hair at Ning Fengzhi's temples.

Ning Fengzhi let her grab his hair and said with a smile, "Rongrong is so good. Since you've finished your lessons, go play if you want."

Ning Rongrong's eyes rolled, and a sweet, coy smile appeared on her adorable little face. She wheedled, "Daddy, actually, I heard everything from outside just now. You and Grandpa Gu are going out, aren't you?"

In truth, she had arrived long ago.

It was only because she heard Ning Fengzhi, Gu Rong, and Chen Xin discussing matters that she had not come in, instead hiding by the doorway and eavesdropping.

Ning Fengzhi nodded with a wry smile.

It was over. This little cutie was definitely going to cling to him and say she wanted to go along again.

"Daddy, can you take me with you?"

Ning Rongrong buried her little head in Ning Fengzhi's arms and kept acting spoiled. "Rongrong is so bored at home."

"The place we're going this time is very far away. We'll have to ride in a carriage for more than two weeks. You should stay home and play with Grandpa Chen Xin."

Ning Fengzhi tried to persuade her.

"No, I want to go."

"Be good, all right?"

"Rongrong is very good. Daddy, Grandpa, please take me with you."

The little girl's eyes sparkled as she glanced at her father, then looked toward the two Titled Douluo at the side.

Gu Rong's heart was about to melt. He said dotingly, "Ah, Fengzhi, Rongrong really is very obedient. Let's take her with us."

What else could Ning Fengzhi do?

Could you refuse a little cutie acting spoiled?

He could only agree.

"Yay! Daddy and Grandpa are the best!"

Ning Rongrong happily gave Ning Fengzhi a mua kiss, then ran over to Gu Rong and Chen Xin and kissed each of them in turn.
