[My tears are worthless! Wuwuwu, Mom is so great!]
[Tang Hao was a real man too! "If you want to touch my wife, step over my corpse first!" That line was so badass!]
[Unfortunately, he was facing the entire Spirit Hall! Two fists can't beat four hands, let alone the Pope personally arriving!]
[Spirit Hall, screw your ancestors! From today onward, I'm a hater for life!]
[No wonder the Clear Sky Douluo went into seclusion. No wonder Tang San never saw his mother growing up. So that was why...]
[So Tang San was the child of a human and a Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast? Half-human, half-soul beast?]
[The one above, you found the key point! That bloodline was probably anything but ordinary!]
After a brief spell of sorrow, the direction of the comments swiftly shifted toward fury at Spirit Hall and curiosity over Tang San's origins.
Clear Sky Sect.
Within the sect's main hall, hidden deep behind its mountain gates, the atmosphere was terrifyingly oppressive.
Several white-haired elders watched the scene on the Sky Screen, their expressions constantly changing.
"Sigh, Tang Hao... in the end, it was all for that soul beast..." one elder sighed heavily.
"Hmph! If he hadn't stubbornly insisted on marrying a soul beast back then, would our Clear Sky Sect have ended up like this?!" another hot-tempered elder roared. "And now? This scandal has spread across the world! Tang Hao has completely disgraced our Clear Sky Sect!"
"But... Spirit Hall was the one that forced the issue first."
"Spirit Hall? No matter how despicable Spirit Hall may be, were we, the number one sect under heaven, supposed to go to war with them over a soul beast? Tang Hao put the entire sect in danger!"
Amid the arguing, Tang Xiao, the sect master seated at the head of the hall and Tang Hao's elder brother, closed his eyes in anguish.
More than anyone, he knew that the sect had chosen to abandon Tang Hao back then in order to protect itself.
Now that the Sky Screen had revealed everything to the public, how would the world view the Clear Sky Sect?
As cowards who feared Spirit Hall? Or as useless fools who could not even protect the genius of their own sect?
Tang Xiao only felt a burning pain across his face.
Just as the entire continent was shaken by this long-buried past, enraged by Spirit Hall's tyranny, and sighing over the tragedy of Tang Hao's family, the image on the Sky Screen changed once more.
The tragic sacrificial radiance, the bloodstained Star Dou Great Forest, and Tang Hao's grief-stricken face all slowly faded away, dissolving into specks of light.
[Damn it! Don't stop there! What happened next? What happened to Tang Hao? Did Spirit Hall get hammered?]
[Sky Screen, be a decent being! You always cut it off at the crucial moment!]
[This mood is way too heavy. I need to watch something cheerful to recover...]
As though it had heard everyone's thoughts, the Sky Screen's tone abruptly shifted from heavy and tragic to bright and lively.
A breathtakingly magnificent palace appeared onscreen. It had been constructed from gemstones of every color and precious metals, gleaming brilliantly beneath the sunlight in extravagance beyond compare.
The phantom image of a crystalline seven-story pagoda rose above the palace, radiating a gentle yet noble glow.
[Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect! The richest sect in the world, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!]
[Wow! That shift in style was way too fast! We were fighting and killing just now, and now it's all glittering jewels!]
[Good, good. If I kept watching that, my heart wouldn't be able to take it. Let's look at a beauty to soothe our eyes.]
As the light and shadows flowed, the figure of a young girl slowly formed beneath the pagoda's phantom image.
She appeared to be only sixteen or seventeen. Her soft, tea-colored hair cascaded down her back, and her skin was as fair as snow, seemingly delicate enough to break with a breath.
Her features were exquisite like those of a doll. Her large, watery eyes were lively and sly, while beneath her petite, upturned nose rested cherry-like pink lips.
She wore a pale pink princess dress, its skirt decorated with tiny gemstones that sparkled with her every movement.
She was not as gentle and holy as Ah Yin, nor as forceful and valiant as Liu Erlong. She possessed an innate sweetness and nobility, like a sect's little princess showered with endless affection. Sweet and lively, she inspired the urge to protect her with just one glance.

[Ning Rongrong]
[Identity: Little Princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Soul Master.]
[Heaven's Will Verdict: Seven treasures turn to nine colors, and glazed tile too may shine. A pearl in the palm, with pride born in her bones.]
"Rongrong?"
In Shrek Academy's resting area, Oscar froze the instant he saw that figure. The recovery sausage in his hand fell to the ground with a plop.
His gaze stuck firmly to the smiling girl on the Sky Screen, and his face reddened at a visible pace. He stammered, "It... it's Rongrong!"
Ma Hongjun waggled his eyebrows and jeered from the side, "Oh my! Look at Little Ao, getting this worked up! Your drool's about to spill!"
Dai Mubai also revealed a rare hint of a smile and patted Oscar on the shoulder. "Kid, you've got good taste."
At the center of it all, Ning Rongrong herself was completely dumbfounded.
First, she pointed at the Sky Screen in disbelief, then at herself, her beautiful eyes wide open.
"Me? Fifth place?"
When she saw the verdict, "A pearl in the palm, with pride born in her bones," her cheeks flushed bright red. She was embarrassed by the public praise, but there was also a trace of unconcealed delight.
But when her gaze fell upon the words "Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Soul Master," she froze again.
Nine Treasure... Glazed Tile Pagoda?
Had the Sky Screen made a mistake? Her family's martial soul was clearly the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda...
At the same time, in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
"Hahahaha! Good! Wonderful!"
Ning Fengzhi watched his daughter's lovely figure on the Sky Screen and the lofty verdict she had received. Unable to restrain himself, he clapped and laughed heartily, his face filled with proud delight.
"My daughter Rongrong truly is the finest girl in the world!"
At his side, Sword Douluo Chen Xin's eternally icy face also curved into a rare smile. "Not bad. Rongrong has her former bearing."
Bone Douluo Gu Rong laughed so hard that he could not close his mouth. "Of course! Whose little princess do you think she is? Fifth place! Hahaha, I like that ranking!"
The entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had fallen into a festive mood because Ning Rongrong had made the list.
However, Ning Fengzhi's laughter abruptly stopped when he saw the words "Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Soul Master."
His pupils suddenly contracted as he stared fixedly at those words. His expression shifted from wild joy, to shock, to utter disbelief.
"Nine... Nine Treasure?"
He muttered to himself, his voice trembling.
Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo also realized something was wrong. Their smiles froze at the same time as their eyes turned toward the Sky Screen.
As the guardian Douluos of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, they understood better than anyone what the words "Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda" meant to their sect.
It was the ultimate dream that generations of ancestors from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had failed to achieve for thousands of years!
It was also a... bloodline curse that could never be broken!
The Sky Screen... said Rongrong was a... Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Soul Master?
How... could that be possible?!
[Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda? Did I see that right? Wasn't it the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda?]
[Did the Sky Screen make a mistake? A typo?]
[The commenter above, do you think an existence like the Sky Screen would make such a low-level mistake?]
[Hiss—I get it! It's not a typo! It's a spoiler! A spoiler from Heaven's Will!]
[Holy shit! Does that mean Ning Rongrong will upgrade the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda in the future?! That's the ceiling for support-type martial souls!]
[The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is going to go crazy! This is equivalent to breaking their family's bloodline restriction!]
[Wait, look at the verdict! "Seven treasures turn to nine colors"! Doesn't that match perfectly?!]
The comments completely exploded!
If the previous review of Ah Yin had uncovered a sorrowful past,
then the review of Ning Rongrong had dropped a bombshell powerful enough to change the continent's entire balance of power!
At Shrek Academy, Oscar's expression also changed from his initial lovestruck grin to shock.
Though he did not come from a major clan, he knew that Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Soul Masters could attach at most seven soul rings in their entire lives, never able to break through the curse preventing them from becoming Titled Douluos.
And the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda... existed only in legends!
Rongrong... could she break that curse?
He looked at the blushing girl beside him, who was just as shocked, and felt an unprecedented stirring in his heart and... determination.
Tang San, too, was pulled slightly out of his grief by this sudden earth-shattering revelation. He looked at Ning Rongrong, then at Oscar, his brows knitting slightly.
The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda... there was probably nothing simple behind this.
The Sky Screen seemed to feel that the waters were not muddy enough yet.
While everyone was still reeling over the "Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda," a new line of golden text slowly appeared beneath Ning Rongrong's portrait.
[Ning Rongrong's obsession: Her greatest fortune was not being born into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, but meeting Shrek. Her greatest obsession, however, was to consume that Aromatic Silk Beauty and transform seven treasures into nine!]
Aromatic Silk Beauty!
The moment those five words appeared, Tang San's pupils abruptly shrank in the cave!
That was the immortal-grade herb he had brought out of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well!
The Sky Screen... even knew about this?!
