"Ah! Once a daughter grows up, there's no keeping her at home. No keeping her at all!" Ning Xuanqing shook his head helplessly at his daughter's behavior, but the anger had left his voice.
"Right! Tian, I heard that during this year's All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Soul Fighting Tournament, all your and Feng's soul rings became ten thousand year soul rings, thanks to a faction called the Soul Hall backing this brat. Is that true?" Besides assessing Ning Tian's choice of partner, Ning Xuanqing had come to Shrek to confirm whether the events at the Soul Fighting Tournament were real.
"Exactly! Feng, could you show us your martial souls and soul rings?" Wu Yun asked his granddaughter doubtfully.
"Of course! It was all thanks to Tian Chen. Not only did all our soul rings evolve into ten thousand year ones, but my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda successfully evolved to nine floors, too!" Ning Tian and Wu Feng revealed their martial souls and the four ten thousand year soul rings on them.
"It really is true?!" Although Wu Yun had prepared himself mentally, seeing it with his own eyes still left him astonished.
"The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda!" Ning Xuanqing's cane fell to the ground as he slowly approached Ning Tian's martial soul.
"No, it isn't the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. Its name is now the Nine-Aperture Exquisite Pagoda!" Ning Tian gently lifted her martial soul.
"That's right! Uncle, our Soul Hall possesses a special secret method that allows martial souls to break through their limits and causes both martial souls and soul rings to evolve. It works much like the Body Sect's second awakening. As someone from the Heaven Dou Empire, you should know how powerful a body martial soul's second awakening is, shouldn't you?"
