Ning Fengzhi's Surprise

Ning Rongrong went to train by herself, while Lan Yu went to rest. Only by sleeping well and recovering his energy could he do things better.

For the next period of time, Lan Yu did not leave Botanical Academy. He supervised the training of the Botanical Academy Team while cultivating on his own until the Soul Master Tournament began.

However, Botanical Academy and Shrek Academy were not in the same division, so they would not meet during the preliminary round.

Without even an Immortal Herb, it was hard to say whether Shrek Academy, with Lanba Academy as its foundation, could even get through the preliminary rounds. After all, there were many powerful academies in the Heaven Dou City division.

Botanical Academy swept through its own division with a crushing momentum, entering the Promotion Tournament with all wins. The Promotion Tournament would be held in Heaven Dou City.

"Being out for so long, I really miss home a little. Dad, as well as Sword Grandpa and Bone Grandpa, will definitely be shocked when they see my current strength."

Ning Rongrong looked at Heaven Dou City, which was already close at hand, and said with a hint of excitement.

"Zhuqing, Lina, I invite you to visit Seven Treasures Glazed Sect as guests."

"I won't go. I want to follow Lord Sage."

Lina refused outright, but Ning Rongrong pulled her over and smiled. "It's fine, he's definitely going too."

"Very well, I will take a trip to Seven Treasures Glazed Sect before the tournament starts."

At Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, Ning Fengzhi was very happy to learn that Ning Rongrong had returned.

Upon learning that Lan Yu had come as well, he did not neglect them in the slightest, coming out to welcome them together with Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo.

Seeing Ning Fengzhi, Ning Rongrong dashed straight over.

"Dad!"

"Haha, Rongrong, why did you take so long to come back? I thought you had forgotten about your dad."

"Dad, what are you saying? Let me introduce you, as well as Sword Grandpa and Bone Grandpa.

This is Lan Yu, this is Zhu Zhuqing, and this is Lina."

"Sect Master Ning, Sword Douluo, we meet again. Bone Douluo, nice to meet you for the first time. Please take care of us."

"Hahaha, little brother, we meet again. Thank you for taking care of Rongrong these past few days. Come, let's go inside and sit."

Arriving at the reception hall, Ning Rongrong impatiently began to show off to Ning Fengzhi.

"Dad, look at my spirit."

Ning Rongrong summoned her spirit and revealed four spirit rings: yellow, yellow, black, and black.

Ning Fengzhi was very surprised. "Four spirit rings! Rongrong, you've actually broken through to level 40. How did you do it? Is it also the gift of that Sage Lord of Fungi?"

"Yeah, Rongrong, is your body alright? You mustn't drain the pond to catch the fish."

Bone Douluo also asked with concern.

"Dad, Bone Grandpa, you're focusing on the wrong point. Count how many floors my tower has."

Sword Douluo's gaze turned to Ning Rongrong's tower, and the next second he stood up abruptly.

"Nine floors! It's actually nine floors! Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda!"

"It really is nine floors! Rongrong, you actually allowed your spirit to break through its shackles and evolve into the legendary Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda."

Ning Fengzhi was so happy that his mouth couldn't close.

"This is all thanks to Lan Yu, otherwise I definitely wouldn't have such good luck."

"Yes, yes, yes, little brother Lan Yu has a great kindness toward my Seven Treasures Glazed Sect!"

"Sect Master Ning is too polite. This is a gift from the Sage Lord of Fungi."

"Huh, Rongrong, why is there a... mushroom living inside your tower?"

Bone Douluo spotted the Stretch Geo Fungus living inside Ning Rongrong's tower.

"Bone Grandpa, that's my spirit spirit!"

"Spirit spirit? What spirit spirit?"

"It can condense spirit rings for me, assist me in battle, and also let me master elemental power, giving me offensive and defensive means."

Ning Fengzhi couldn't sit still anymore either, standing up in a single motion.

"Rongrong! Say that again! Is all of this true?"

"Of course it's true, Dad. What's wrong? Is there a problem?"

"Of course there's a problem. Little brother Lan Yu, this spirit spirit..."

"That's right, I made it. In the future, the believers of the Sage Lord of Fungi might all be able to obtain a Fungus Spirit Spirit."

Ning Fengzhi suddenly turned serious at this moment.

"This will change the existing spirit master system and affect the entire continent. Spirit Hall will certainly not let you do as you please."

"I understand Sect Master Ning's worries. The Sage Lord of Fungi is not the kind of exclusive deity; we do not refuse to cooperate and achieve win-win results with other deities.

Of course, if they want to start a war, we will not cower either. Whether to fight or to make peace depends on their choice.

If it comes to that step, how will Sect Master Ning choose?"

Lan Yu tossed the question back to Ning Fengzhi, leaving Ning Fengzhi at a loss for a moment as to how to answer.

"Ahem, Rongrong, let Sword Grandpa test your current strength."

Sword Douluo spoke up, steering the topic past that point. Lan Yu also gave a faint smile. He could gloss over it for now, but when the time came, a choice would still have to be made.

They subsequently arrived at an open space. Sword Douluo stood there like a sharp sword and said to Ning Rongrong, "Rongrong, begin!"

"Alright, Sword Grandpa, you must be careful. The Nine Treasures turn and glaze, the first is power, the second is speed, the third is spirit, the fourth is defense!"

After finishing her buffs, Ning Rongrong tapped the ground with her toes and rushed toward Sword Douluo.

"Buffing herself? This speed is completely no weaker than an agility attack spirit ancestor! Fengzhi, did you guys take the wrong path in the past?"

"No, it's that Rongrong's physical constitution is too strong. Her body is even stronger than a combat spirit master's body after spirit augmentation, which is why she can achieve this kind of effect."

"Is this also a gift from the Sage Lord of Fungi? Then this deity is truly generous."

"Shh! Uncle Bone, do not casually comment on deities."

Bone Douluo immediately shut his mouth.

Facing the incoming Ning Rongrong, Sword Douluo merely reached out and blocked her fist.

"Hmm? Such great strength!"

"Hehe! Sword Grandpa, you were careless!"

A rock spike suddenly grew from the ground, heading straight for Sword Douluo's lower vital points.

Sword Douluo was also taken aback and hurriedly dodged.

"Rongrong, this move of yours is a bit too ruthless."

"I knew Sword Grandpa would definitely be able to dodge it."

"No! How do you have this kind of attack method? Isn't this just a self-created spirit skill?"

"Does it count? My spirit spirit allowed me to gain Geo Element control. This can only be considered a basic operation."

Lan Yu spoke up at this moment. "Zhuqing, Lina, you go together. Please also give them some guidance, Sword Douluo. What do you think?"

"Naturally no problem. Attack me with all your might."

Sword Douluo grew a bit more serious and summoned his Seven Kill Sword spirit.

Zhu Zhuqing and Lina used almost identical moves, instantly rushing toward Sword Douluo from the left and right.

Sword Douluo casually swept out two sword qi attacks, but barriers appeared around the two of them. Although the barriers were easily shattered by the sword qi, Zhu Zhuqing and Lina had already reached Sword Douluo's front.

Fourth Spirit Ability: Crossed Gale Slash!

First Spirit Ability: Tempest Kick!

Spirit Sword Protection!

Sword Douluo easily blocked their onslaught. In the very next instant, the two retreated far away, putting distance between themselves and Sword Douluo to look for an opportunity for the next attack.

Meanwhile, Ning Rongrong wove in to attack, precisely seizing the flaw in Sword Douluo's retracted stance.
