The moment the Sky Screen's voice rang out, everyone from both planets in the Virtual World Forum heard something they could scarcely believe.

"No way! The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda exists, but it still isn't the strongest support Martial Soul?"

"What on earth is the Shennong Cauldron? Why is that Huaxia Star's strongest support Martial Soul?"

Countless people on Douluo Star cried out in confusion, especially the Soul Masters.

They knew the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's reputation well. The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda had to be more than a little stronger.

Yet even the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda could not claim the title of Huaxia Star's strongest support Martial Soul. What kind of extraordinary thing was the Shennong Cauldron?

As confusion spread, Bibi Dong and the others emerged from the forum inside Spirit Hall and immediately began talking.

"The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, the Shennong Cauldron... Huaxia Star truly defies belief."

After saying this, Bibi Dong felt a twinge of regret over backing Yu Xiaogang earlier.

Even so, she quickly added a word in his defense.

"Clearly, Yu Xiaogang can only be Douluo Star's foremost master of Martial Soul research, not Huaxia Star's."

That left the other elders and worshippers with nothing to say.

His Holiness still can't let Yu Xiaogang go. Golden Crocodile Douluo grumbled inwardly, though aloud he agreed. "Indeed. Huaxia Star was an unknown planet, after all. No one knew what its strongest support Martial Soul was."

"But I still can't understand it. The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda actually exists?"

Golden Crocodile Douluo's astonishment mirrored Qian Daoliu's.

The Angel God's most devout worshipper sighed as well.

"The world is different now. As exchanges between the two planets grow closer, perhaps we too will see an era-changing transformation."

Little did Qian Daoliu know that far away at Shrek Academy, Yu Xiaogang had already begun planning how to refine his Martial Soul Theory.

"The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda really does exist. It must be extraordinary!"

"But if it exists, I'll study it until I understand it!"

With that, Yu Xiaogang picked up his pen and began recording the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's characteristics based on what he had seen in the Virtual World Forum.

He was a master, after all. When it came to copying others, he left no detail untouched.

As he wrote, he addressed the members of the Shrek Seven Devils.

"Don't worry. I'll get to the bottom of this and expose their scheme. Rongrong, perhaps I can even help your Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda develop further."

Yu Xiaogang set down his pen, patted his chest, and spoke with absolute confidence.

Ning Rongrong had little faith in him, but she still held out some hope. The group's curiosity, however, centered more on the Shennong Cauldron.

"I wonder what kind of Martial Soul the Shennong Cauldron is, to be Huaxia Star's strongest support Martial Soul." Curiosity glimmered in Ning Rongrong's eyes as she watched the Sky Screen.

Oscar felt the same.

"Right. Just hearing the name Shennong Cauldron, it must be connected to Shen Nong."

"You mean the creator of Giant Wheat?" Zhu Zhuqing immediately caught the connection and spoke up.

The others realized it too.

"That's right. It has to be him," Dai Mubai said firmly.

Just as the Shrek Seven Devils put it together, the Sky Screen's voice rang out.

[Douluo Star's strongest support Martial Soul, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, can evolve into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda and can even excel in both offense and defense.] [The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda uses Soul Rings to amplify other Soul Masters' abilities by up to one hundred percent; it can also evolve into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda through the immortal herb Aromatic Silk Beauty, granting even stronger amplification.] [Most crucially, with a different combination of Soul Rings, a wielder of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda can turn it into an offensive Martial Soul.]

As the Sky Screen spoke, an image of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda lit up across it.

At that moment, the crystalline pagoda, shimmering with golden light, seemed far beyond anyone's reach.

It appeared before countless people on Douluo Star and Huaxia Star.

But on Douluo Star, what seized everyone's attention was the unique method of evolving the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda—and the claim that it could serve in both offense and defense.

Atop the main peak of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Fengzhi heard that consuming an immortal herb could evolve it into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. His face flushed with excitement.

"Wonderful! If an immortal herb can bring about its evolution, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will rise to new heights!"

"Offer a bounty across the land! We must obtain the Aromatic Silk Beauty!"

With the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's immense wealth, there was no need to worry about the reward. They could offer as much as it took!

At Shrek Academy, however, Ning Rongrong cared less about the pagoda's evolution than about the Soul Ring combination that could turn it into an offensive Martial Soul.

Could the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda really become an offensive Martial Soul?

Yu Xiaogang immediately rejected Ning Rongrong's idea.

"Impossible! Impossible! Even if the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda can evolve into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, it could never become an offensive Martial Soul!"

Yu Xiaogang kept bluffing without a shred of hesitation, apparently having forgotten how badly that had gone for him moments earlier.

The Sky Screen spared him no face and struck down his claim without mercy.

[For wielders of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda on Douluo Star, it is the strongest support Martial Soul.] [But under Huaxia Star's radically different understanding of Martial Souls, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda has undergone a new transformation.] [Through the wielder's choice of Soul Rings and personal effort, it can evolve into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda and even become a unique offensive Martial Soul.]

As the Sky Screen spoke, footage appeared of a Huaxia Star wielder attacking with the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

Holding the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, Li Jing swung it at a towering mountain a hundred meters high.

"Heed my command—suppress heaven and earth!"

At his cry, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda swelled and descended upon the mountain like a colossal tower propping up the sky.

It crushed down mercilessly. The mountain split and the earth cracked as the entire range suffered a devastating blow.

Beneath the immense weight of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, the hundred-meter-high mountain was reduced to dust in an instant.

The sight left countless people on Douluo Star speechless.

A spark lit Ning Rongrong's eyes. She was a little envious, and her lips moved.

If my Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda could do that, how wonderful would it be? Couldn't I flatten every enemy with it?

The thought thrilled Ning Rongrong so much that she trembled.

Unfortunately, someone was trembling even harder: Yu Xiaogang.

Watching the Sky Screen, Yu Xiaogang lost the last of his confidence. He slumped as though all the spirit had been drained from him.

"Impossible. No... how could this be? It's only the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, a support Martial Soul! How could it have such power?"

He pointed a bony finger at the Sky Screen and kept muttering, but it left him no room for delusion.

Yu Xiaogang could no longer bluff his way through this, and he struggled to accept the truth. The Sky Screen, however, paid him no mind!

As soon as the footage of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda ended, the Sky Screen began its introduction to the Shennong Cauldron.

[The Shennong Cauldron spreads its bounty across heaven and earth and nourishes all living things.]
