Ning Tian's Shock

"Why... why not me?"

Tang Ya clenched her fists, feeling a tightness in her chest, as if something was stuck in her throat, making it hard for her to breathe.

With such a generous reward, she couldn't even imagine how strong she would become if she received it.

Shrek Academy, in front of the dormitory.

The night was as still as water, and Wang Dong'er sat alone on a bench downstairs.

When Ning Tian had finished distributing all the rewards, Wang Dong'er raised her head and looked at the night sky above Shrek City, which was illuminated by lights. Her eyes were filled with undisguised hatred and resentment.

What she needs most right now is strength, the sooner the better.

A three-level increase in Soul Power would save her at least half a year of taking detours.

The Martial Soul Evolution Opportunity her Light Goddess Butterfly allows her to become Martial Soul, and it may even evolve further.

The Level 8 Defensive Soul Tool gives her an extra layer of self-protection when facing powerful enemies.

These were all things she had always dreamed of.

With these, she can grow faster and gain the power to contend with Tang San more quickly.

"Why Ning Tian?"

She bit her lower lip, her voice low and cold.

Wang Dong'er's resentment grew stronger. She clenched her fists and secretly vowed that no matter what method she used, she would get more rewards and become stronger.

Shrek Academy, Female Dormitory.

Ning Tian sat cross-legged on the bed, her back ramrod straight, ready to receive her reward.

By this time, her chest was rising and falling slightly, and even her breathing unconsciously became lighter.

Without any unnecessary formalities, Ning Tian silently recited "Receive the reward" in his mind.

The next second, a gentle yet incredibly pure Soul Power appeared in her Dantian Sea of Qi without warning.

This Soul Power was completely different from the spiritual energy of heaven and earth that she usually absorbed through arduous cultivation; it was without any impurities or stagnation.

Like liquid gold refined through countless trials, it carried a warm, gentle sensation, flowing slowly through the meridians of her entire body.

Before Ning Tian could even activate her inner energy cultivation technique, the Soul Power had already spontaneously begun to cleanse her meridians and expand her dantian.

She had been stuck at the level 25 bottleneck for a whole month without being able to budge her Soul Power barrier in the slightest. In the face of this external force, she was as fragile as paper.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the barrier shattered, and her Soul Power broke through to level twenty-six without any hindrance.

The improvements are ongoing.

That pure Soul Power, like a rushing river, continuously filled her dantian.

Mid-level 26... Peak 26... Level 27!

The whole process was incredibly smooth, without any bottlenecks or discomfort whatsoever.

When the Soul Power climbed to level twenty-eight, that power slowly subsided, finally stopping steadily at the peak of level twenty-eight, only one step away from level twenty-nine.

The entire process, from start to finish, lasted less than thirty seconds.

Ning Tian slowly opened his eyes, his long eyelashes trembling a few times.

She immediately raised her hands, the sunlight falling on her fair and slender fingers, giving them a healthy, pale pink glow.

She could clearly feel that the Soul Power within her body, which was more than twice as strong as before, was flowing freely through her limbs and bones like a joyful stream.

She closed her eyes, still uneasy, and examined the area carefully three times.

Every time, the result was exactly the same.

Level 28, genuine and without any exaggeration.

Ning Tian stared blankly at his hands, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.

She is the same age as Lin Ye, also twelve years old.

She enrolled with Soul Power level of 25.

She possesses top-tier resources and exceptional talent, yet even so, it would still take her at least six months to advance from level twenty-five to level twenty-eight.

In the past six months, she could not afford to relax in the slightest, nor could she waste a single moment, in order to barely achieve this goal.

But now, with just a basic reward, in less than a minute, she has achieved what others could only gain through six months of hard work.

Ning Tian's lips curled up uncontrollably, his face revealing an undisguised look of surprise.

The girls who had copies of the Diary talked about how amazing the diary rewards were, and how happy Lin Ye was every time he received a reward.

Although she felt some envy at the time, she never had a direct sense of it.

Only now, having personally experienced the feeling of effortlessly increasing her strength, did she finally understand why everyone cherished this Diary so much, and why everyone willingly rallied around Lin Ye.

This feeling is truly captivating.

After the initial surprise, Ning Tian felt an even stronger sense of anticipation.

The level three Soul Power upgrade is just the basic reward this time.

What she truly longed for and couldn't sleep at night was that precious reward marked "Martial Soul Evolution Opportunity".

The Seven-Treasure Glazed Pagoda, hailed as the number one support Martial Soul in the Douluo Continent, possesses unparalleled support abilities.

However, it also has a fatal flaw etched into its very being.

The highest level one can cultivate to is seventy-nine, and one can never break through to the realm of Titled Douluo.

This is the greatest regret of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect over the past hundreds of years. Countless brilliant predecessors have been stopped at the Soul Saint level because of this unbreakable shackle, and have lived with regret for the rest of their lives.

Throughout the entire history of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, only Ancestor Ning Rongrong transformed the Seven-Treasure Glazed Pagoda into the Nine-Treasure Glazed Pagoda, ultimately breaking through to the level of Titled Douluo.

Since then, no one in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has been able to replicate this miracle.

Ning Tian grew up listening to the stories of her ancestor Ning Rongrong. Her biggest dream was to one day evolve her Seven-Treasure Glazed Pagoda into Nine-Treasure Glazed Pagoda and break the curse of her bloodline.

But she also knew how unattainable this dream was.

It wasn't until she received the reward of the Diary Copy and saw the "Martial Soul Evolution Opportunity" option that she felt for the first time that this dream might actually be possible.

Ning Tian took another deep breath, forcing himself to calm down.

She knew this was the most important opportunity of her life, and she absolutely could not afford to make any mistakes.

She closed her eyes, cleared her mind of all distractions, concentrated all her thoughts, and solemnly chose to use the reward of "Martial Soul Evolution Opportunity".

As her thoughts settled, a golden light, several times more powerful than before, poured out from the illusory image of the Diary in her mind, instantly enveloping her entire body.

Ning Tian felt as if his soul was enveloped by this warm and sacred golden light.

An unprecedented sense of comfort spread from the depths of her soul, making her want to let out a soft sigh.
