Ning Rongrong's Birth

After returning to his quarters, Xu Yang adjusted his state of mind and continued cultivating.

Having learned his lesson last time, he no longer planned to create things that had no place in this world's theories, such as firearms and grenades. Instead, he focused on studying and learning about Spirit Masters.

Xu Yang's life gradually settled into a routine. Every day, he would absorb the Eastern Purple Qi early in the morning, eat, meditate and cultivate his Soul Power, eat, train his physical fitness, eat, and study Blade Skill and battle experience with Ning Haiyan. Occasionally, when it rained, he would rest and read for a while.

This life continued for nearly nine months, ending only when Madam Ning went into labor.

Inside the room, Ning Fengzhi was no longer his former refined and elegant self. He paced back and forth anxiously outside the door. Although Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo stood there quietly, their tightly clenched fists showed that their hearts were far from calm.

As soon as the embryo had fully developed, Ning Fengzhi had used his Soul Power to determine the child's gender. He had also given her the name Ning Rongrong early on, signifying the continued prosperity of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Thus, whether it was Ning Fengzhi or Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, all three had been eagerly anticipating this new life. That was why they were so nervous now.

Xu Yang stood to the side and watched the three of them speechlessly. If the people here had been ordinary folk like those in Holy Soul Village, there might truly have been a chance of a difficult birth. But for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, that was simply impossible. The sect had Healing Spirit Masters, and Madam Ning herself possessed the strength of a Soul Saint. She was merely giving birth to a child, so Xu Yang had no idea what the three of them were so nervous about.

Over these nine months, Xu Yang's Soul Power had risen to level sixteen. His Blade Skill had also become quite respectable. Although his Archery Skill was not accurate enough to hit the mark every time, he could still strike the bull's-eye. He had grown twenty centimeters taller, reaching a height of one meter sixty, though his face still looked extremely young.

Xu Yang had also asked Ning Fengzhi to have Bone Douluo help him make a preliminary attempt at creating a technique for Soul Power Body Tempering. The reason he had not asked Ning Haiyan was that Ning Haiyan truly had no talent in this area. Xu Yang had explained the theory to him, but after two months of research, he had made no progress whatsoever.

With no other choice, Xu Yang had sought out Ning Fengzhi and hoped that he could help solve the problem.

Ning Fengzhi did not doubt Xu Yang's sudden fantastical idea. Instead, he pondered the possibility of tempering the body with Soul Power. For this reason, he personally sought out Bone Douluo and asked him to help with the research. Bone Douluo truly lived up to his status as a Titled Douluo. His understanding of Soul Power was far beyond that of ordinary Spirit Masters, and he created a preliminary method for using Soul Power to temper the body in less than a month.

However, this method was only useful for Spirit Masters below the Soul Elder level, and its effects were only slightly better than conventional physical training. Even so, both Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo felt that although this technique could not serve as a regular cultivation method, it had some merit. They had the two Super Douluo continue studying it.

Even this preliminary technique had benefited Xu Yang immensely. His Soul Power was Extreme Yang Extreme Strength, fierce and domineering, so its body-tempering effects were particularly astonishing. After training, the Morning Light Soul Skill and the Eastern Purple Qi would repair the hidden injuries caused by his domineering Soul Skills, allowing him to cultivate without restraint.

On top of that, with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Heart Separation Control, Xu Yang had only reached the Three Orifices Heart Control, but he could already do three things at once. While cultivating and training, he could divert part of his mind to tempering his physique.

That was also why he had grown to a height of one meter sixty in less than nine months. His cultivation had leaped four times in nine months, reaching level sixteen Soul Power.

"Wah! Wah! Wah!"

Just as Xu Yang was reflecting on everything he had gained over the past nine months, a baby's wail suddenly rang out from inside the room. The cry was exceptionally loud.

"She's born! She's born!"

Ning Fengzhi shouted excitedly, while Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo also relaxed their clenched fists.

"Congratulations, Sect Leader. Mother and daughter are safe!"

The Midwife opened the door and congratulated Ning Fengzhi with a cupped-fist salute.

"Good. Go to the sect later and collect one thousand Gold Soul Coins. Consider it your reward!"

"Thank you, Sect Leader!"

Ning Fengzhi paid no attention to the Midwife. He took three steps in the time it would usually take for two and hurried inside. Xu Yang followed behind Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo and entered as well.

Ning Fengzhi went over to care for his wife, while Xu Yang's gaze fell on the tightly wrapped baby beside her. The baby was not very attractive, all wrinkled and scrunched up. All newborn babies looked like that. After a week or two, once she had filled out, she would look much better.

Ning Rongrong has been born, which means Tang San must have been born too. The matter of Tang Hao beating Qian Xunji to death will probably spread soon.

Aside from Dai Mubai and Oscar, the other five members of the Shrek Seven Devils were all around the same age, with at most a few months between them. Since Ning Rongrong had been born, that meant Tang San had also been born, and the incident in which Tang Hao had erupted and hammered Qian Xunji into severe injury had already occurred.

But why had no news come out even now? Logically speaking, there should have been news by this time!

A few days later, the news that Qian Xunji had been severely wounded by Tang Hao, returned to the Spirit Hall, and died because his injuries could not be treated spread throughout the entire Douluo Continent. The news that the new Pope would be the Saintess, Bibi Dong, spread along with it.

The Spirit Hall then began pressuring the Clear Sky Sect to hand over Tang Hao. Seven Titled Douluo stood at the Clear Sky Sect's mountain gate. To avoid further trouble, the Clear Sky Sect chose to seal off the mountain and expelled Tang Hao from the sect. It even stopped managing its affiliated sects.

The weaker sects were completely wiped out by the Spirit Hall's forces in less than a few weeks. The four powerful Single Attribute Sects also fell into decline under the Spirit Hall's suppression, never again regaining their former status in the world of Spirit Masters.

"So it seems that Limit Douluo Tang Chen really has disappeared. Otherwise, with the Clear Sky Sect's domineering nature, how could it have chosen to submit in such a stifled and humiliating manner?" After looking over the intelligence he had received, Ning Fengzhi's expression was extremely grave.

Because of the Spirit Hall's strength, the Upper Three Sects had always appeared united. Their confidence in resisting the Spirit Hall came from Tang Chen, the Limit Douluo. But judging from the current situation, Tang Chen really had disappeared.

Now that the Clear Sky Sect had sealed off its mountain, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan was extremely arrogant because of its dragon-type Spirit, making sincere cooperation difficult.

"With the Clear Sky Sect sealing off its mountain, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's position in the world of Spirit Masters has become awkward."

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect differed from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and the Clear Sky Sect. It had been founded primarily around the continent's number-one Support Spirit, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. Since it was a support-oriented sect, that meant the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect could not choose to remain uninvolved like the Clear Sky Sect. It could only gather talented individuals and build connections with the various major powers if it wanted the sect to endure in this world.

"Feng Zhi, you actually don't need to worry too much. There are still two forces on the entire Douluo Continent capable of dealing with the Spirit Hall. As long as we strengthen our cooperation with each other, I believe protecting the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect shouldn't be a problem." Madam Ning, who was holding Ning Rongrong nearby, spoke slowly with a smile at the corners of her lips. As Ning Fengzhi's wife, she was no mere decorative figure. Her own methods were formidable, and she had seen the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's current predicament at a glance.
