The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Couldn't Break Through? Here Came the Slap in the Face!
"Yu Xiaogang! That's bullshit!!"
Ning Rongrong's willow-leaf brows shot up in fury as she snapped:
"As a support sect, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect does indeed rely on outsiders!"
"But what gives you the right to say our own bloodline can't produce truly powerful people?!"
Seeing her lose her temper, Yu Xiaogang only grew more mocking and sneered:
"Heh, then why don't you tell this Grandmaster how your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's own bloodline could produce anyone powerful?!"
"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul you inherit has an immutable innate shackle. You can never break through to rank eighty in your entire lives. What damn powerful people could you possibly produce!"
Ning Rongrong grew even angrier. Her whole body trembled, her chest heaving violently as she shouted:
"Bullshit! My father said I'm the most outstanding genius our sect has seen in centuries!"
"I have a chance to cultivate my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda into an Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda! Becoming a Titled Douluo someday isn't necessarily beyond my reach!!"
(Note: taken from Chapter 108 of the original Douluo Continent novel.)
Her words stunned everyone present.
"An Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda?!!"
Bewildered, Tang San turned his eyes toward Yu Xiaogang.
"Teacher, is what she said true? Can the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda break through after birth?!"
The others were puzzled as well and all looked toward Yu Xiaogang.
Naturally, they did not know, so they could only learn about it from this "Grandmaster."
"Heh... hahahaha!"
Yu Xiaogang first clutched his stomach and laughed for a while, then assumed the air of an eminent expert:
"Among the common people, this Grandmaster read widely, studied profound, secret ancient texts, and visited experts from every faction!"
"Within the sect, I poured my heart and blood into researching Martial Soul Theory myself and published the Ten Core Competencies of Martial Souls!"
"It is no exaggeration to say that this Grandmaster understands every Martial Soul and all theoretical knowledge under heaven!"
"Yet I have never heard of any Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda! This is nothing but a lie she made up herself!!"
After hearing this, Tang San immediately frowned and glared at Ning Rongrong in displeasure:
"Ning Rongrong, is it so hard to admit your Martial Soul has an immutable innate shackle? Do you really need to invent such nonsense to deceive everyone?!"
Ma Hongjun, Dai Mubai, and the others chimed in, looking at her as though she were a clown.
"You! All of you!!"
Ning Rongrong burned with even greater fury and pointed rigidly at Yu Xiaogang.
"My father told me that himself! What gives you the right to say it doesn't exist?! What if it really does!!"
Yu Xiaogang laughed even harder, raising a hand to point at the Sky Screen, his tone utterly dismissive:
"If it really exists, this Sky Screen will surely reveal it! If it's true, this Grandmaster will kneel before you right here, kowtow, and apologize. Everyone present can bear witness!!"
Ning Rongrong gritted her teeth and snapped:
"You said it! Don't lose and then refuse not to honor your word like you did just now!!"
Brimming with confidence, Yu Xiaogang declared:
"Whoever goes back on their word, may they be caught and mounted by a stray dog by the roadside someday!!"
In his view, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda simply could not break through.
Anyone who said it could was either stupid or malicious! Armchair Soul Masters who knew nothing about Martial Souls!
"Fine, we'll wait and see!"
Ning Rongrong snorted coldly and turned her head away, her chest rising and falling with anger.
Her father himself had told her that seven treasures could break through to eight. She did not believe her father would lie to her!
Beside her, Zhu Zhuqing's dark brows furrowed slightly.
Born into royalty, she had read widely and once seen a few scattered words about it in fragments of ancient texts.
It was said that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda did indeed have the possibility of breaking through and evolving, but the conditions were extremely demanding.
With that thought, Zhu Zhuqing looked toward the Sky Screen, a little curiosity stirring in her heart as she waited for it to announce the answer!
Meanwhile, not far away.
High in a towering tree thick with foliage.
Tang Hao, still dressed in a black robe, watched from his hiding place.
Seeing the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect listed on the Sky Screen and hearing everyone's discussion, his eyes filled with disdain:
"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect? Just a support sect! What damn use are support-type Soul Masters?"
In his eyes, strength reigned supreme over every method!
One overwhelming force could shatter ten thousand techniques!
No matter how many support enhancements one had, before absolute power, they were all merely a mantis raising its arms against a chariot.
His Clear Sky Hammer, paired with the Clear Sky Secret Technique passed down by his grandfather-Ring Detonation combined with the Great Sumeru Hammer-could instantly crush heaven, earth, and even the air.
What need did he have for any damn support enhancements?!
Only powerless weaklings needed to rely on others' strength to make up for their own shortcomings!
As for the argument between Yu Xiaogang and Ning Rongrong, Tang Hao naturally agreed wholeheartedly with Yu Xiaogang.
What damn Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda? He, the Clear Sky Douluo, had traveled the world. Why had he never heard of it?!
Ignorant little brat!!
Manga World.
Shrek Academy.
When the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect appeared on the list, a chorus of congratulations rang out.
"Rongrong! That's wonderful! Your sect made the list!"
Xiao Wu bounded over to Ning Rongrong in a few steps and shook her arm, her smiling eyes curving into crescents:
"It's even ahead of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan! Ninth place!"
A faint blush colored Ning Rongrong's cheeks. She pressed her lips together and curved her eyes in a gentle smile:
"I'm surprised too. The display of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's True Dragon Nine Crowns was so terrifying just now that I thought the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect wouldn't even make the list."
(A question for you sweethearts!)
(Do you prefer Ning Rongrong from the anime or the manga???)
Yu Xiaogang walked over slowly, his expression assured:
"Rongrong, have confidence. The Martial Soul world has never been able to do without support types. Besides, with your Martial Soul's current aptitude, given time, even the True Dragon Nine Crowns won't compare!"
Everyone around them voiced their agreement.
Those words were indeed true.
This world had been influenced by Ye Han and Utopia.
Ning Rongrong's Martial Soul had already broken through its shackles ahead of time.
It had reached that level!!
Ning Rongrong covered her mouth with a soft laugh and bowed slightly to everyone:
"Thank you all for your kind wishes, but it's too early to celebrate. We still have to be compared with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect of the other world."
As she spoke, she raised her eyes toward the sky, starlight filling them, along with a measure of anticipation and a measure of competitiveness.
She wanted to see just what her other-world self and the other Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect were like!
Utopia.
The mountain behind the City Lord's Mansion.
Looking at this round of rankings on the Sky Screen, the Snow Empress felt somewhat surprised:
"Dad, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is only ninth? I thought it would at least place a few spots higher. After all, its sect master's daughter's current Martial Soul..."
She did not finish, since Ye Han already knew about Ning Rongrong's current Martial Soul.
Ye Han showed little reaction and nodded slightly, his gaze calm:
"That means the factions ranked above it have even greater foundations and potential. Keep watching."
The moment his words fell.
Golden light suddenly rippled across the heavens, washing over the skies and lands of both worlds like a tide.
That ancient, majestic voice resounded through heaven and earth right on time, without the slightest emotion:
[Comparison begins!] [Round one-faction foundations!] [Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect (Anime World)] [Faction foundations: one of the Upper Three Sects among the Seven Great Sects of the Douluo Continent. It has over five thousand Soul Master disciples, consisting of several hundred direct bloodline disciples and over four thousand affiliated disciples from outside the bloodline, as well as two Titled Douluo elders from outside the bloodline. Its commercial influence extends throughout the Heaven Dou Empire, and its accumulated wealth ranks first among the continent's sects. With a legacy spanning ten thousand years, it is universally recognized on the Douluo Continent as the world's foremost support sect. Its inherited Martial Soul is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, a top-tier support-type tool Martial Soul universally acknowledged as the continent's "number one." Though it appears powerful and glorious, cultivating it is in fact arduous and fraught with setbacks, and it possesses an innate shackle that is difficult to break. The number of floors in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda corresponds to the maximum number of Soul Rings it can bear. It can have no more than seven rings attached and can only be cultivated to rank seventy-nine, never breaking through to rank eighty throughout its owner's lifetime. Its high-level combat strength depends extremely heavily on others. Fortunately, paired with the sect's uniquely inherited Heart Separation Control Secret Method, one person can support many, and the treasured pagoda's name reigns supreme under heaven! However, this Martial Soul's innate shackle is not absolutely unbreakable. It remains possible to break through it after birth, depending primarily on its owner. Those with exceptional talent have a certain chance of cultivating it into an Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda! By consuming certain peerless natural treasures, it may even be possible to evolve it into the legendary Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda! This completely disregards the shackle! One example is the Aromatic Silk Beauty that grows within the peerless treasure basin, the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well! There is a girl in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect who is extremely likely to achieve this in the future, completely breaking through her Martial Soul's shackles. Her future is limitless!]
