Steady Ning Fengzhi

The person approaching walked with a steady gait and an aura like the wind; it was none other than Sword Douluo, one of the two guardian Douluos of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!

"Uncle Sword, why are you here?"

"Hmph!"

"If I didn't come, would you just watch as you send Rongrong off to that so-called Shrek Academy?"

Chen Xin snorted, then sat straight down on a chair beside Ning Fengzhi.

He turned his gaze toward the person reporting below, frowning as he questioned him.

"You say that youth has two purple and two black soul rings; do you have any basis for this?"

Although the man in the white martial outfit trembled slightly under the sharp pressure of Sword Douluo, he still reported the information he had painstakingly gathered one by one.

"Sub... subordinate also attempted to investigate information on this youth, but discovered that whether it be his soul power level or his soul rings, he has never leaked any of this information."

"The only recorded information is from six years ago when he awakened his martial soul. He awakened a martial soul known as the Golden-Haired Lion Mastiff, and his innate soul power level was... innate full soul power!"

Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin could not help but exchange glances, both seeing astonishment in the other's eyes.

"With the existence of innate full soul power, Spirit Hall actually didn't recruit him?"

Ning Fengzhi frowned, clearly finding this information hard to believe. After all, the last person with innate full soul power in Spirit Hall had already become the Pope.

If this Su Ge were to enter Spirit Hall, he would at least be able to become a Saint Son of Spirit Hall, with the potential to become the next Pope!

In an instant, many possibilities flashed through Ning Fengzhi's mind.

First, Su Ge might be a genius secretly cultivated by Spirit Hall abroad, most likely to join Spirit Hall publicly after winning the upcoming Soul Master Tournament; the subsequent influence and benefits of such a move would go without saying.

Second, Su Ge was being cultivated by someone else in secret, to the point that Spirit Hall was willing to suppress their intention to recruit him.

Third, the above conclusions were overturned, and everything Su Ge had was achieved through his own efforts.

Other possibilities would require more evidence to infer, but Ning Fengzhi believed the first was most likely and the third the least. As for the second, the outcome was far too murky.

However, it seemed that until he figured out exactly what was going on with Su Ge, it was better not to act rashly.

"Right, there is one more thing. While collecting information on Su Ge, we found that the academic affairs office of Heaven Dou Royal Academy also sent a special admission notice to this Su Ge this year."

Hearing the report from below, Ning Fengzhi simply nodded and waved for him to withdraw.

"Fengzhi, you don't actually believe this Su Ge has two purple and two black soul rings, do you?"

"Not to mention the thousand-year first and second soul rings, the mental shock of a ten-thousand-year soul ring alone is something no Great Soul Master could withstand, let alone a child!"

"I believe he either has twin martial souls, thus achieving such an eye-catching soul ring configuration, or he used some kind of trickery. After all, martial souls are strange and varied; such a possibility cannot be ruled out."

Chen Xin frowned, clearly still holding a skeptical attitude toward this intelligence.

"I understand, Uncle Sword. Naturally, I would not easily believe something that defies common sense just because of a piece of intelligence."

"It is just that it is better not to move against Su Ge for now. The information he has revealed is too scarce; I cannot see him clearly."

"Moreover, his strength is indeed terrifying. Even if a Soul Saint only used his first four soul skills, he is still a Soul Saint whom even an average Soul Emperor cannot withstand, yet he was able to seize the initiative and handle Zhao Wuji."

"There are too many doubts; it is better to observe further."

Seeing Ning Fengzhi's solemn expression, Chen Xin remained silent for a moment before nodding, temporarily agreeing to this matter.

He naturally understood that Fengzhi was telling the old bones not to act rashly.

However, he had already noted the name Su Ge; when the opportunity arose, he would see if this Su Ge really had three heads and six arms!

Meanwhile, Su Ge had already successfully arrived in Suotuo City and, following the address provided by Deng Jilin, reached one of the best high-end restaurants in the city.

After reporting Deng Jilin's name, he was led by the front desk to a quiet private room where someone was already seated.

The man was over thirty years old with long ice-blue hair and handsome features. His temperament carried a touch of coldness, and his brows held a hint of arrogance.

Seeing Su Ge enter, the corners of his mouth curled into a smile. "You're here."

Su Ge nodded, waved to indicate that the dishes could be served, and then walked in to sit opposite Deng Jilin.

"Did the hunting of the soul ring go smoothly?"

Su Ge picked up the hot tea Deng Jilin had poured for him and took a light sip.

"Thanks to you, everything went smoothly. I have now become a level 72 Soul Saint."

Although Deng Jilin's nature was somewhat cold and rigid, he had always been straightforward. If not for the information on Whale Glue and the ideas for several self-created soul skills provided by the other party, he might not have been able to take down the soul beast for his seventh soul ring.

"Right, this is what you asked me to bring."

As he spoke, Deng Jilin took several pieces of Whale Glue from his Storage Soul Guidance Device.

The ages varied, but they were all high-quality Whale Glue of at least ten thousand years.

"As you said, these are bottom-of-the-barrel items. Although few people know their value or how to use them, they still have a certain collection value due to their age."

"So I bought them at a high price; there are seven pieces in total."

"Four pieces are under fifty thousand years, one is sixty thousand years, one is seventy thousand years, and the one with the highest age is an eighty-thousand-year Whale Glue. It was left behind when a Titled Douluo hunted his ninth soul ring, and I bought it at a high price as well."

Looking at these seven pieces of Whale Glue, Su Ge nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Deng Jilin and said earnestly, "Thank you!"

The latter shook his head upon hearing this. Although his tone remained somewhat cold, it carried a hint of nostalgia.

"I, Deng Jilin, have always had clear principles. I helped you because you helped me."

"Besides, if it weren't for you, I probably would have died back then."

Seeing the other party like this, Su Ge smiled helplessly.

Although he had said many times that there was no need to mind it, the other party's nature, forged by the sword path, was too stubborn to listen to reason.

Gradually, he had no choice but to let him be.

Just then, the waiter knocked gently on the door outside.

"Sir, may I serve the dishes now?"

"You may."

After Su Ge replied, the waiter served the dishes one after another and then respectfully withdrew.

When the door closed, only Su Ge and Deng Jilin remained in the room.
