Third Soul Skill-Elemental Flow

A Soul Beast around fifty thousand years old was indeed harder to sweet-talk than a thousand-year-old one.

Fortunately, Ning Chuan could already draw upon the creation power within the pagoda, which allowed him to persuade the Golden-Plumed Azure Falcon.

The Golden-Plumed Azure Falcon could also sense that the environment inside the pagoda would greatly benefit its cultivation.

Even if it abandoned its physical body, it could still cultivate inside the pagoda as a soul spirit. The soul spirits of the Earth Rock Bear and the Profound Feather Spirit Crane were the best proof.

Moreover, after abandoning its physical body, it would not draw heavenly tribulation lightning even if its soul strength surpassed the hundred-thousand-year mark.

After Sword Douluo captured it, the Golden-Plumed Azure Falcon had resigned itself to certain death. Now that Ning Chuan had offered it a chance to survive, it naturally would not let that chance slip away.

Most importantly, it could tell that Ning Chuan possessed exceptional talent. It knew that if it stayed inside the pagoda until Ning Chuan became a god, it might even be able to follow him into the Divine Realm.

And so, Ning Chuan successfully acquired his third soul ring.

"Ding: congratulations to the host on completing the mission!"

"Reward: Soul Skill-Elemental Flow."

"Reward: soul power cultivation method (intermediate)."

"Reward: sword technique-Sword Across the Void!"

As usual, there were three rewards. The intermediate soul power cultivation method directly raised his cultivation speed multiplier to thirtyfold.

Sword Across the Void was an immensely powerful sword technique. After examining it, Sword Douluo frankly stated that if it could be fully comprehended, its power would undoubtedly surpass his ninth soul skill.

Lastly came Ning Chuan's third soul skill, Elemental Flow.

Elemental Flow skill description: "Comprehend all natural elements. Each element can develop into corresponding soul skills. For example, the wind element corresponds to speed and movement techniques; the earth element corresponds to defense and protection..."

This single skill gave Ning Chuan soul power of every natural element.

Better still, Elemental Flow could also be applied to others.

For instance, applying the fire element to Xiao Yun would greatly increase the power of her soul skills.

Furthermore, Elemental Flow included insights into methods for perfectly fusing the various elements.

Clearly, this was yet another outrageously overpowered skill.

This time, Sword Douluo was not surprised in the slightest after learning about Elemental Flow's effects. He had already grown used to it.

After passing the intermediate cultivation method and sword technique on to Sword Douluo, Ning Chuan returned with him to the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well. They harvested the aromatic silk beauty and narcissus jade muscle bone, then returned to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Ning Chuan temporarily placed the two immortal herbs inside the Creation Exquisite Pagoda. Its environment was unquestionably better suited to the growth of spiritual plants than the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.

The only problem was that the pagoda could not store physical matter for long periods. Otherwise, Ning Chuan would certainly have put all the immortal herbs inside.

Upon returning to the sect, Ning Chuan passed the intermediate cultivation method and sword technique on to Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo. By now, neither of them found this strange anymore.

At noon the following day, the Shrek group arrived outside Heaven Dou City.

Ning Rongrong looked at Flender and said, "Dean, you go take care of your business. I'll head back to the sect first!"

"All right!" Flender nodded.

Ning Rongrong immediately turned to Zhu Zhuqing. "Zhu Zhuqing, would you like to visit our sect?"

The moment she asked, Dai Mubai's expression darkened.

After a brief moment of thought, Zhu Zhuqing nodded. "Sure. It'll be a good chance to see the splendor of one of the Upper Three Sects!"

Seeing Zhu Zhuqing agree, Dai Mubai immediately jumped in. "We Shrek Seven Devils are a single unit. How can we go our separate ways?"

"What's wrong with you, Dai Mubai? I invited all of you to the sect, and you refused. Now you're turning around and blaming me?" Ning Rongrong refused to indulge him in the slightest.

"Exactly. When you and Ma Hongjun go chasing flowers and willows, why don't you say we're a single unit then?" Zhu Zhuqing's face was full of disdain as well.

Dai Mubai immediately protested, "Zhu Zhuqing, ever since you came to Shrek, I haven't been to those places!"

"Whether you go or not, what does it have to do with me? Yes, Shrek is a single unit, but please don't interfere in our private lives!" With that, Zhu Zhuqing turned to Ning Rongrong. "Rongrong, let's go!"

Ning Rongrong cast Dai Mubai a glance, then left with Zhu Zhuqing, leaving him to rage helplessly where he stood.

"Boss Dai, don't be so sensitive. You and Zhu Zhuqing can perform a Martial Soul Fusion Skill. Sooner or later, she'll end up with you!" Ma Hongjun said.

"That's right, Boss Dai. Zhu Zhuqing traveled thousands of miles to Shrek to find you. That means she still has you in her heart. You can't rush feelings!" Tang San added.

Then he looked at Oscar. "Oscar, we aren't going because we don't want to see Ning Chuan. If you want to go, go ahead. We won't blame you for pursuing your own happiness!"

Oscar did want to go, but Ning Rongrong's cultivation talent had dealt him a serious blow lately. The one thing he had always taken pride in had been effortlessly surpassed by her. The gaps in both their status and cultivation talent made him realize that he simply was not worthy of Ning Rongrong.

Besides, Ning Rongrong had already made it clear to Oscar: the partner of someone with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda had to belong to the power attack system. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's rules forbade direct descendants of the clan from marrying support-type Soul Masters.

At that thought, Oscar shook his head. "Forget it. There's no harm in visiting later, when I get the chance!"

At the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Chuan had already received word that Ning Rongrong was approaching.

Ning Chuan made a point of waiting outside the sect. When he saw that Zhu Zhuqing had come along too, he could not help praising Ning Rongrong inwardly: What a good little sister!

The moment Ning Rongrong spotted Ning Chuan, she ran over and hugged him. "Fifth Brother, I knew you doted on me the most!"

Then she glanced into the sect and feigned anger. "Father, Sword Grandpa, and Bone Grandpa actually didn't come to welcome me! I'm marking this down against them. If they don't have presents for me later, I won't get over it!"

She had barely finished speaking when Sword Douluo appeared. "Little girl, how could Sword Grandpa possibly not come to welcome you?"

At the sight of Sword Douluo, Ning Rongrong immediately threw herself into his arms. Sword Douluo seized the opportunity to tattle. "My precious girl, Sword Grandpa hasn't forgotten you. But that old bag of bones recently took on a disciple, and now all his attention is on that little girl. I'm afraid he really has forgotten you!"

Just as Sword Douluo finished, Bone Douluo's voice carried over from afar.

"You old sword bastard! Bad-mouthing me while I'm away! Rongrong, don't listen to his nonsense. It's true that Bone Grandpa took on a disciple, but the only reason I didn't come to welcome you was that this old sword bastard lied and told me you wouldn't arrive for another hour!"

Before his voice faded, Bone Douluo had arrived in front of Ning Rongrong.

"Bone Grandpa!" Ning Rongrong smiled and gave him a hug too.

Afterward, Ning Fengzhi also walked out of the sect.

Ning Rongrong immediately ran over when she saw him.

Zhu Zhuqing watched the scene with deep envy. Bound to the imperial family, she had never experienced this kind of familial warmth.

Noticing the look in Zhu Zhuqing's eyes, Ning Chuan immediately stepped forward and held out his right hand. "Miss Zhu Zhuqing, welcome to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!"

"Greetings, Young Master Ning!" Zhu Zhuqing nodded and politely shook his hand.

Ning Rongrong immediately turned back to introduce Zhu Zhuqing to Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo.

Then the group returned inside the sect.
