Ning Rongrong and Sword Douluo's Invitation

"No."

Ye Chen did not even turn his head.

Even without looking directly at Ning Rongrong, the Eye of Nihility could still see her expression.

That thoroughly displeased look was plainly written across her face.

"Other than support, what else can your Eye Martial Soul do?"

Ning Rongrong tugged at Ye Chen's clothes.

Left with no choice, Ye Chen turned around and looked at the young lady, who was slightly shorter than him.

"Eye Martial Souls are usually spiritual-type attributes and are very suitable for the control path."

Ye Chen was referring to the usual circumstances.

Disciples of the Body Sect with Spiritual Eyes Martial Souls generally followed the path of spiritual control.

In terms of control strength, they were unquestionably among the best.

After all, Soul Masters generally did not possess strong spiritual power. Most people simply could not withstand a soul attack.

This direct application of spiritual power was not particularly profound.

After years of research by the Body Sect, systematic cultivation methods had long since been developed.

"A spiritual-type Martial Soul... can it create a maze?"

Ning Rongrong was like a curious child.

Chen Xin's gaze remained fixed on the battle between Old Jin, She Long, and Ci Xue.

Yet his ears twitched slightly as he listened to Ye Chen explain the mysteries of Body Martial Souls.

"It can. Some special soul beasts can even grant the ability to copy an enemy's soul skills."

If Ye Chen remembered correctly, the Silver Ying Beast soul ring Huo Yuhao had obtained could replicate an enemy's soul skills for his own use.

Spiritual-type Martial Souls were considered relatively powerful. The Remnant Dream Martial Soul of Shi Nian, the headmaster of Canghui Academy, and the Black Demon Martial Soul of Meng Shenji, chief of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy education committee, also belonged to this category.

"There are soul beasts like that?"

"Then can the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda obtain one?"

Ning Rongrong had the heart of a fighter.

Being able only to passively take hits was indeed frustrating, and it did not suit the young lady's fiery nature.

"That kind of soul beast is called a Silver Ying Beast. It possesses both spiritual and agility attributes, so it may not suit the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda."

How could Ye Chen know whether it would work?

He had never used the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, never tried adding a Silver Ying Beast to it, and had no idea whether it could imprint an offensive soul ring.

Couldn't the Mirror Beast Oscar obtained likewise grant combat ability to a support-type Soul Master? Yet the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had never tried it either.

This type of soul skill came with considerable restrictions and still differed greatly from a true battle Soul Master.

"You know a great deal about the soul beasts of the continent, young friend."

Chen Xin was surprised.

Although the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect also possessed many books on Martial Souls and soul beasts, Ning Rongrong had barely read any of them.

Yet Ye Chen could speak so eloquently about them here. As expected of someone protected by a Titled Douluo; his status within the Body Sect was likely not low.

"This junior merely read more of the sect's accumulated texts."

Whenever Ye Chen had nothing to do, he would scour through the sect's books.

Perhaps because of his Eye Martial Soul, he had possessed a photographic memory since childhood, so learning this knowledge had not taken much time.

Before the age of six, his Martial Soul could not awaken anyway. What else could he do besides read?

"To possess such knowledge at this age, you have already surpassed ninety-nine percent of people."

Chen Xin sighed from the bottom of his heart.

On Douluo Continent, people generally only began training Soul Masters after their Martial Souls awakened.

That was because Martial Souls determined one's future fate. No matter how hard one cultivated a weak Martial Soul, one would only be a weak Soul Master.

Among the Soul Masters capable of becoming Titled Douluo, which one lacked Martial Soul quality or possessed low Innate Soul Power?

As for the master's saying, "There are no useless Martial Souls, only useless Soul Masters," he had cultivated for decades and was still stuck at level twenty-nine.

Wasn't he a living example?

Besides, Soul Masters with better talent worked even harder than you did. What gave you the right to surpass them?

"You flatter me, Sword Douluo."

Ye Chen replied indifferently.

Everything he had achieved today was the result of his own hard work.

He had merely eaten quite a bit of Whale Rubber, three Immortal Herbs, and some other heavenly treasures.

The things he worked hard to swallow counted as hard work too, didn't they?

"Kid, excessive humility is arrogance."

"You are at most two or three years older than Rongrong, yet you are already a level twenty-four Soul Grandmaster. That is not something a little extra effort can achieve."

Light flashed in Chen Xin's eyes.

As a level ninety-six Super Douluo, Chen Xin could sense Ye Chen's precise Soul Power Level from such close range.

He had not examined Ye Chen's bone age, but judging by his appearance, he should not be over ten years old—at most two or three years older than Ning Rongrong.

With Ning Rongrong's talent of level-nine Innate Soul Power, reaching level twenty at the same age would already count as working extremely hard.

Thus, Chen Xin concluded that Ye Chen was very likely a Soul Master with Innate Full Soul Power.

"You're amazing!"

Ning Rongrong's eyes suddenly lit up.

Possessing level-twenty Soul Power before the age of twelve already made one a little genius.

"Hey, what's your name? Can you come back to the sect with me and play?"

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has lots of beautiful things. I'll take you to see them, okay?"

Ning Rongrong extended an invitation.

Seeing this, Chen Xin did not stop her. He also wanted to learn some things about the Body Sect.

"My name is Ye Chen. I am the young sect master of the Body Sect, and I need to return to the sect to cultivate later."

"I was already going back with Old Jin. If those two Titled Douluo hadn't suddenly appeared, we probably would have nearly arrived by now."

Ye Chen declined Ning Rongrong's invitation.

Compared with Spirit Hall, cooperation with the Body Sect was merely an alternative plan for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was as wealthy as a nation, and its disciples were spread throughout the continent. It would not be difficult for them to seek out possessors of Body Martial Souls.

However, they originally belonged to Shrek's faction, so naturally their position had to be moved further back.

"My name is Ning Rongrong, and I'm the young lady of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. If you ever come to Heaven Dou City, you must come find me."

Ning Rongrong was very unhappy.

But Ye Chen had originally planned to return to his sect, and she had no way to change that.

Just like when her father wanted to take her back to the sect—no matter how unwilling she was, she ultimately had to compromise.

"Young Sect Master Ye, the gates of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will always be open to you."

Chen Xin addressed him as Young Sect Master.

He was inviting not only Ye Chen himself, but also the Body Sect behind him.

A single level ninety-six sect-protecting elder was enough to place the Body Sect among the upper three sects. Naturally, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect could not overlook them.

No one knew how many people the Body Sect had, nor how many Titled Douluo it possessed.

"Senior Chen Xin, certainly next time."

Ye Chen cupped his hands in salute.

He had things that could facilitate cooperation between both sides. In the future, he could trade with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect for resources the Body Sect required.

Of course, the sect elders would discuss such matters. He did not need to worry about them himself.

Meanwhile, on the other side.

Old Jin had already ended the battle.

She Long and Ci Xue had been beaten until their faces were bruised and swollen, ultimately fleeing in disgrace toward the outskirts beyond Heaven Dou City.

With Sword Douluo standing here, they could not openly return to Heaven Dou City. That would only make the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect even more suspicious.

"Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Chen Xin!"

Sword Douluo offered a sword-bearing salute.

If they could befriend this Titled Douluo, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would gain another ally in the future.

"Body Sect, Jin Peng!"

The Golden Body Douluo returned the salute.

If the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect did not take Tang San's side, it could indeed become a substantial source of support for the Body Sect.

With the support of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, the Body Sect's combat strength would rise by at least another level.
