Ning Fengzhi's Discovery

Jin Hao then left Ning Fengzhi's residence with Ning Rongrong, heading outside. Their destination was naturally the place Jin Hao had just mentioned: Heaven Dou Royal Primary Soul Master Academy.

Of course, Jin Hao's purpose was not simply to introduce Ning Rongrong to Oscar. He wanted to deepen his friendship with Dugu Yan and leave a deeper impression in her heart.

After all, the most important thing in Jin Hao's mind right now was the things within the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

As Jin Hao and Ning Rongrong left Ning Fengzhi's residence, only Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo remained in the dining hall.

Ning Fengzhi then asked:

"Uncle Jian, you were out all night yesterday. Did you find anything?"

Hearing this, Sword Douluo shook his head and said:

"I found a little. Yesterday, I visited every village near Heaven Dou City. In the villages where Martial Souls had already been awakened, those with good talent had either been recruited by Spirit Hall or taken under the Heaven Dou Empire's wing. One of those recruited by the Heaven Dou Empire was a girl with the Blazing Prairie Spear Martial Soul and Innate Soul Power at level eight."

"The one taken away by Spirit Hall was a child with an awakened Shadow Leopard Martial Soul and Innate Soul Power at level seven."

"Both of them were geniuses. If the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School, Spirit Hall, and the Heaven Dou Empire had all invited them, I believe they would definitely have chosen to join us."

As he spoke, Sword Douluo seemed somewhat self-reproachful, feeling that he had arrived too late.

Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi said:

"Uncle Jian, what is there to regret? We were only trying our luck in the first place. Geniuses near the Heaven Dou Empire are generally recruited by the Imperial Family. Spirit Hall only helps villagers awaken their Martial Souls, otherwise that little genius with Innate Soul Power at level seven would not have been taken away by them."

"By the way, Uncle Jian, what did you mean by a little find?"

In response to Ning Fengzhi's words and question, Sword Douluo first said:

"You are right, Fengzhi. But I was wondering why no genius with Soul Power above level seven had appeared in the villages around our Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School over the past two years."

Sword Douluo then continued:

"As for that little find I mentioned, when I arrived at a small village at dawn, before the sky had even brightened, I discovered that the villagers were already waiting in front of the awakening hall."

"They saw me and thought I was someone there to awaken their Martial Souls, so they bowed to me."

"At the time, I thought that Spirit Hall used Martial Soul awakenings for villagers to recruit talent, so, as if possessed, I agreed and helped them awaken their Martial Souls first thing in the morning."

"Unexpectedly, one of them awakened a Gale Sword Martial Soul and had Innate Soul Power at level six. With my guidance, he might still have a slight chance of becoming a Spirit Douluo in this lifetime, but becoming a Soul Saint is certain, as long as he listens to me and works hard himself."

"So I revealed my identity and invited him to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School. I told him that I could guide him from time to time, and he and his parents agreed. They were willing to head to the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School, so I gave them some money and notified several nearby disciples of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School to escort them. They should already be on their way there."

Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi nodded and said:

"Innate Soul Power at level six is already quite high on Douluo Continent. Under your guidance, Uncle Jian, he has a chance of becoming a Soul Saint. A Spirit Douluo is also worth considering. Once we return, we can observe him. If his character is acceptable, we can nurture him as a core disciple."

Sword Douluo nodded at Ning Fengzhi's words, because that was what he had been thinking as well. More importantly, Sword Douluo still needed to see whether this person had talent in swordsmanship.

At this moment, Ning Fengzhi thought of something else and said to Sword Douluo:

"Uncle Jian, while you were searching for geniuses last night, I also received some information in Heaven Dou City. It concerns the retainer Qinghe mentioned earlier."

Hearing this, Sword Douluo asked curiously:

"Xue Qinghe's retainer? What about him?"

"Uncle Jian, our Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School intelligence network discovered that Qinghe's retainer is far from ordinary. He is a Food-System Soul Master, and more importantly, he possesses Innate Full Soul Power. Uncle Jian, do you know what that means?"

"It means that someone capable of overturning our Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School's position as the world's number one support Soul Master has appeared. This person may very well become Douluo Continent's first Support System Title Douluo."

As Ning Fengzhi's words fell, Sword Douluo froze. As an elder of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School, he knew what this meant. Normally, even as a Title Douluo, he received tremendous enhancement from the support of Ning Fengzhi, a level seventy-nine Soul Saint. If a Title Douluo-level support Soul Master truly appeared, no one knew just how great their enhancement of other Soul Masters would be.

Thus, upon learning this information, Sword Douluo's first thought was to ask:

"Fengzhi, is it possible to recruit this person into the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School? As Douluo Continent's number one support Soul Master sect, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School could certainly provide him with the best instruction. I do not think he would refuse."

Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi shook his head and said:

"Uncle Jian, that is impossible. When I first learned this information, I had the same thought. But after investigating, the information sent back said that this genius Food-System Soul Master was not recruited by the Heaven Dou Empire. After awakening his Martial Soul, he came to Heaven Dou City on his own, pledged allegiance to Qinghe, and became Qinghe's retainer. He is even an Imperial Viscount now, so it is even less likely that he would join the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School."

"Besides, if we truly tried to poach him, our relationship with the Heaven Dou Empire might shatter. Once the Heaven Dou Empire grows strong as we imagine, its first target would be our Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School."

"So, Uncle Jian, let us let nature take its course. Qinghe also said just now that Rongrong should go play with that person. If Rongrong builds a good relationship with him, it will benefit our Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School as well. If he becomes a Title Douluo, perhaps as a Support System Title Douluo, he will have a solution to the limitations of our Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School Martial Souls."

Ning Fengzhi was still thinking about the limitations of the Martial Souls possessed by the direct descendants of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School. They could possess at most seven Soul Rings and could only become Soul Saints.

The original Ning Fengzhi had sought out many people to solve this problem. He had even sought out Qian Daoliu, but none had any solution.

Now, as Ning Fengzhi looked at Oscar, a sliver of hope rose in his heart once more. Those people from before had all been Power Attack Type or control-type Title Douluo, not of the same system. What if the first Support System Title Douluo had a way to solve it?
