Douluo Talents Ranking Third Place, Ning Rongrong (Part 1)!

[Douluo Continent Prodigy Ranking, third place: Ning Rongrong of Shrek Academy!]

After the dignified, imposing voice fell silent, the three Seven Slaughter Swords flying at high speed through the azure sky stopped at the same time. Sword Douluo Chen Xin, Bone Douluo Gu Rong, and Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect Master Ning Fengzhi, who stood atop the swords and flew by sword control, all raised their heads to look at the sky in unison.

Of the three, Bone Douluo Gu Rong was the first to speak.

As he spoke, Bone Douluo Gu Rong wore a smile filled with obvious surprise and delight.

"I knew that with Rongrong's Soul Master cultivation talent, she would definitely make it onto the Douluo Continent Prodigy Ranking. But I never expected her ranking to be so high—third place! Heaven truly favors our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect! Once Rongrong grows up, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect may well be able to seize the position of the world's number one sect from the Clear Sky Sect and become the new number one sect!"

Once Bone Douluo Gu Rong finished speaking, Sword Douluo Chen Xin immediately followed with a smile.

"Since Oscar, who ranks fourth on the Douluo Continent Prodigy Ranking, has the potential to become a god, then Rongrong undoubtedly has that potential as well!"

After saying that, Sword Douluo Chen Xin shifted his gaze to Ning Fengzhi beside him.

Looking at Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo Chen Xin teased, "Fengzhi, congratulations in advance. You'll become the father of a god in the future."

Faced with Sword Douluo Chen Xin's good-natured teasing, Ning Fengzhi smiled. "Uncle Sword, listen to yourself. Isn't it a double celebration? I'll be the father of a god, and you'll be the grandfather of a god."

As he spoke, Ning Fengzhi was happier than ever.

After all, if a father was not happy when his child showed such promise, that would be truly strange.

Sun Moon Continent, Sun Moon Empire, Sun Moon Imperial Palace.

Deep within the palace, Xu Que was still inspecting his painting.

The moment the dignified, imposing voice entered Xu Que's ears, he froze on the spot as though struck by lightning.

It took Xu Que quite a while to recover, and his attention was no longer on the painting.

He raised his head toward the sky, looking at the palace ceiling as he muttered to himself in thought.

"Ning Rongrong ranks third on the Douluo Continent Prodigy Ranking? Then only first and second place remain. Those two spots should belong to Qian Renxue and Tang San. If that's the case, then Bibi Dong didn't make the list?"

"At this point in time, Bibi Dong should not yet be fifty years old. She should still be young and beautiful, right? Could it be that two people are tied for first or second place on the Douluo Continent Prodigy Ranking?"

"If things are as I expect, then Bibi Dong is most likely tied with Tang San, who also possesses Twin Martial Souls."

"Although Bibi Dong's Soul Master cultivation talent is exceptional, she still cannot compare to Qian Renxue."

"Qian Renxue inherited her excellent bloodline and her father Qian Xunji's powerful martial soul. The student surpassed the master."

After muttering to himself, Xu Que nodded thoughtfully.

The Golden Ranking began introducing Ning Rongrong.

[Ning Rongrong, female, is from the Heaven Dou Empire of Douluo Continent. She is also the daughter of Ning Fengzhi, the master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.]

[At the age of six, Ning Rongrong awakened her martial soul.]

[Ning Rongrong's martial soul?]

[It was the inherited martial soul of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect—the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.]

[Her innate soul power level?]

[It reached an astonishing level nine, only one level short of the maximum.]

[Ning Rongrong possessed an excellent martial soul and excellent innate soul power. Moreover, she was Ning Fengzhi's only daughter, so she had been doted on by him since childhood.]

[Within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the second greatest sect in the world and one said to possess wealth rivaling a nation's, Ning Rongrong was not only cherished by Sect Master Ning Fengzhi. Sword Douluo Chen Xin, known as the sect's pillar that held up the heavens, and Bone Douluo Gu Rong, known as the sect's beam that supported the seas, also spoiled her. This caused Ning Rongrong to develop an overbearing and willful temperament.]

[At the age of twelve, Ning Rongrong ran away from home in a fit of anger and joined Shrek Academy, which at the time was merely an intermediate Soul Master academy.]

[When Ning Rongrong first entered Shrek Academy, she did not get along very well with her classmates or teachers.]

[On one occasion, Ning Rongrong even had a conflict with Dai Mubai, the third prince of the Star Luo Empire. During that conflict, Dai Mubai not only struck Ning Rongrong, but also viciously insulted her.]

[Later, Ning Rongrong's overbearing and arrogant temperament was tempered away. She gradually integrated into Shrek Academy and formed the Shrek Seven Monsters with six classmates.]

[Later still, her classmate Tang San was taken away by Poison Douluo Dugu Bo.]

[When Tang San returned, he brought back one Immortal Herb after another!]

[Without exception, every Immortal Herb Tang San brought back had been obtained from Poison Douluo Dugu Bo.]

[While giving Ning Rongrong and the others one Immortal Herb each, Tang San himself absorbed three Immortal Herbs!]

[The three Immortal Herbs were the Star Anise Mysterious Ice Grass, Infernal Delicate Apricot, and Dew of Looking Through Autumn Water. Among them, Tang San used the Star Anise Mysterious Ice Grass and Infernal Delicate Apricot to forge a golden body, thereby gaining the special abilities of fire immunity and ice immunity.]

Douluo Continent, Heaven Dou Empire, Sunset Forest, outer region.

After learning from the dignified, imposing voice that Tang San's Immortal Herbs had all come from him, Poison Douluo Dugu Bo, who was on his way to Shrek Academy to find Tang San, froze on the spot.

Standing there blankly with a face full of shock, Poison Douluo Dugu Bo's mind went completely blank.

His judgment had been correct.

Tang San's Immortal Herbs had indeed been taken from Dugu Bo's medicinal garden.

Dugu Bo quickly recovered.

Veins bulged across his forehead, bloodshot lines filled his eyes, and uncontrollable fury appeared on his face.

"Tang San! Tang San, you bastard! You've gone too far! You took advantage of my lack of knowledge, knowing that I could not recognize Immortal Herbs! It would have been one thing if you took all those Immortal Herbs without leaving me a single one, but you did not even leave ordinary medicinal herbs for me! If I do not avenge this, I, Dugu Bo, swear I am not human!"

Dugu Bo's voice echoed throughout the surroundings.

After his words fell, Dugu Bo felt pain.

Dugu Bo clutched his heart.

Pain!

It hurt far too much!

Whenever he thought of how many Immortal Herbs he had lost, and how every one of them was extraordinary—how any random one could allow a Soul Master to enter the Douluo Continent Prodigy Ranking—his heart ached uncontrollably.

The Golden Ranking continued its introduction of Ning Rongrong.

[The Immortal Herb Ning Rongrong received from Tang San was called the Qiluo Tulip.]

[After Ning Rongrong used the Qiluo Tulip, her martial soul evolved.]

[Her already extraordinary Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda evolved into the even more powerful Nine-Treasure Glazed Pagoda!]
