The Greatest Support: Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda

"Captain, your hand's blessed, isn't it? Who starts by fighting the boss?" Lian Yue was practically in tears.

Their opponent in the first round of the elimination matches was actually the Ning Tian Team from the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile School!

Though she no longer hoped to win the championship, they had at least made it into the elimination rounds. She did not want to get knocked out in the first round.

"What are you afraid of? We were bound to meet them sooner or later. Better to take them out early." Xiao Xiao cracked her knuckles, utterly fearless.

It was not blind confidence in herself, but complete faith in Yuwen Tuo.

Even a high-level Soul Elder like Bei Bei had once lost to Yuwen Tuo. What could these low-level Soul Elders possibly amount to?

"Hmph, what big words from a mere little girl." Among the three girls opposite them, one wearing a fiery red dress spoke.

All three girls on the other side were exceptionally beautiful. The girl at the front was tall and slender, with short golden hair that made her look sharp and capable. If Wang Dong, who dressed as a boy, had a feminine face despite looking male, then this girl had a masculine air despite being female. Calling her handsome would not have been wrong at all.

Behind her, the girl who had just spoken had short red hair like blazing flames, and her eyes were an equally rare shade of red. Firelight swirled around her body, making it seem that, like Yuwen Tuo, she possessed the Fire Attribute. Yet a closer look revealed that her features were exquisitely delicate, and her skin was fair as jade.

The girl on the right was the complete opposite. Her long hair fell loosely behind her, and her dark green eyes were filled with gentleness, giving her a soft and delicate air. She was curiously studying Yuwen Tuo. "Wow, he's so handsome. This is the first time I've ever seen someone this good-looking."

"You two, be careful. Feng, don't underestimate them. And Yun'er, stop acting lovestruck. That Yuwen Tuo is not to be underestimated. Even though he only has two rings, don't forget that he defeated Bei Bei of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon when he only had one ring," the leading girl reminded them.

The fiery-haired girl curled her lips disdainfully. "Hmph, I heard that Bei Bei had fought Xu Sanshi first. Those two were evenly matched, so even if Bei Bei won, it would not have been easy. He must have been badly drained afterward. Yuwen Tuo probably just took advantage of that."

The leading girl shook her head. "Even if he did, defeating someone with three rings while having only one ring is still an astonishing record."

Seeing that both sides were in position, the proctor called out, "Both sides, enter the arena and state your names."

The six of them walked into the arena and took up positions on opposite sides. Yuwen Tuo's group kept the same formation: Yuwen Tuo remained at the front, Xiao Xiao stood in the middle, and Lian Yue hid in a corner.

The three girls opposite them formed a two-front, one-rear formation. The short-haired blonde girl retreated to the back, while the other two stood ahead of her to protect her.

The fiery-haired girl declared proudly, "Class Nine, first-year students. Wu Feng, Level 25 Assault-Type Battle Soul Grandmaster."

This was the self-introduction method that had been passed down across the Douluo Continent for ten thousand years. Introducing oneself this way before a spar was also a sign of respect for one's opponent.

The long-haired girl followed. "Class Nine, first-year students. Nanmen Yun'er, Level 24 Agility Attack Type Battle Soul Grandmaster."

A calm voice then came from behind the two girls. "Class Nine, first-year students. Ning Tian, Level 31 Auxiliary-Type Tool Soul Elder."

The Auxiliary Type had always been difficult to cultivate. Even with her family's resources, Ning Tian's ability to reach the Soul Elder realm at the age of twelve proved that her talent was extraordinary. It could not have been entirely due to her family.

"L-Lian Yue, Level 18 Auxiliary-Type Tool Soul Master." Even Lian Yue's introduction was full of inferiority. They were the same age and both Auxiliary Types, yet she was a full two rings behind her opponent.

"Yuwen Tuo, Level 24 Assault-Type Battle Soul Grandmaster."

"Xiao Xiao, Level 23 Control-Type Battle Soul Grandmaster!"

Yuwen Tuo and Xiao Xiao were entirely different from Lian Yue. Neither was intimidated in the slightest by their opponent's Soul Elder status.

However, the highest-ranked member of their team was only at the same level as the lowest-ranked member of the opposing team. No one could possibly think highly of them.

"Ruyi Plate, Attack Aura, Bloom."

The soul battle began. Though Lian Yue lacked confidence and was not particularly strong-willed, she at least never neglected what she needed to do. The moment the match started, a ray of attack light shone onto Yuwen Tuo.

Seeing this, Ning Tian smiled confidently. Displaying an auxiliary martial soul before her was nothing but showing off before an expert.

She brought her hands together, and a pagoda radiating seven-colored light appeared between her palms.

"The continent's top auxiliary martial soul—the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda!" Zhou Yi murmured from the stands.

She had come specifically to watch the match. Although Yuwen Tuo's team was not the one she cared about most, they were still from her class, so she had come to take a look.

"Teacher Zhou, is this your class's seeded team? Why are they so weak? With ranks like these, they want to defeat the continent's greatest support, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda?" A female teacher who looked to be around thirty approached Zhou Yi and said with a quiet laugh.

Zhou Yi's gaze immediately sharpened. "Mu Jin, do you think your students have already won? Don't forget Yuwen Tuo is there. Bei Bei, whose Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon is known as the number one offensive Beast Martial Soul in the outer academy, still lost to him. Besides, after ten thousand years of development on the continent, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda may be a top-tier auxiliary martial soul, but it may not necessarily still be called the strongest."

The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda had been regarded as the strongest in its day for two reasons. First, there were fewer top-tier martial souls back then. Second, there were not nearly as many auxiliary pills as there were now, such as Mystic Water Pills, Rising Soul Pills, Mystic Tortoise Pills, and so on.

Auxiliary martial souls were difficult to cultivate. Titled Douluo were exceedingly rare among them, and even Soul Douluo were few and far between.

Although the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda was limited to at most seven rings, the difficulty of cultivating other auxiliary martial souls meant that, in most cases, they could only reach that level as well.

At the same level, the support provided by the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda was overwhelmingly superior.

But now, not only had more top-tier martial souls emerged, the drawbacks of difficult auxiliary martial soul cultivation had also been greatly alleviated by pills. Auxiliary-Type Titled Douluo had begun appearing one after another, while the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda remained restricted to seven rings.

No matter how strong the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda's support was, how could seven rings compare to the nine rings of other top-tier auxiliary martial souls?

To say nothing else, Shrek's Sea God Pavilion had a healing-type Titled Douluo with the Tree of Life martial soul. His support abilities absolutely surpassed those of the current leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Their specialties were simply different. Those supported by Elder Zhuang might not see their strength multiply, but they could become berserkers who traded injury for injury against their opponents and simply could not be killed.

Mu Jin smiled. "Hehe, I acknowledge Yuwen Tuo's strength, but no matter how powerful he is, how can he fight three people alone? Though the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda may no longer truly be called the greatest support, it is still not something a mere Ruyi Plate can compare with. Other than Yuwen Tuo, I have not heard of any particularly outstanding talents in your class. At the very least, there are no Soul Elders, are there? How pitiful."

Zhou Yi's eyes turned cold. "Did you come here to provoke me?"

"So what if I did?" Mu Jin shot back without yielding.

The two had been bitter rivals for a long time. In their younger days, they had apparently even been rivals in love, as both had liked Fan Yu from the Soul Tool Department. Zhou Yi had ultimately won, and Mu Jin had never accepted it.

Later, Zhou Yi expelled Mu Jin's younger brother, creating an even deeper feud between them.

Zhou Yi sneered. "Hehe, how about we make a bet?"
