Three Parties Stirring

Feng Xiaotian's eyes lit up at the suggestion, but then he thought of a few concerns and asked:

"Is that really okay? What about Blazing Fire Academy's matches?"

"If your Soul Ancestor core team members all temporarily join Godwind, Blazing Fire will have absolutely no hope of advancing through the preliminaries."

"It doesn't matter." After hearing Feng Xiaotian's concerns, Huo Wu answered casually:

"Throughout every All-Continent Advanced Spirit Master Elite Tournament, Blazing Fire Academy has never missed the elimination rounds of the finals. We've never even fallen out of the top sixteen."

"Missing it just once won't have much of an impact on Blazing Fire Academy."

"Besides, the influence of our Five Elements Academy in our respective cities has long since taken deep root. It won't be shaken so easily."

After Huo Wu's explanation, Feng Xiaotian finally set aside his concerns and began considering the feasibility of the plan.

At the All-Continent Advanced Spirit Master Elite Tournament after next, six years from now.

Of the seven main members of Spirit Hall's seeded team, the three members of the Golden Generation would most likely be Soul Kings, while the other four would all be high-level Soul Ancestors above rank forty-five.

On Godwind Academy's side, with Blazing Fire Academy serving as reinforcements, they could also gather seven main members above the Soul Ancestor level.

Moreover, wind fed fire, while fire borrowed the might of wind.

With the two academies working together, they could achieve an effect greater than one plus one.

By then, with cultivation at least approaching that of a six-ringed Soul Emperor, he might not be able to hold back all three members of the Golden Generation by himself, but he was confident that he could restrain the two who possessed a Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

At that point, the battlefield would become a six-versus-five situation.

Huo Wu possessed a gifted skill like Ring Fusion. With the coordination of wind and fire, along with the numerical advantage, they would have an excellent chance of defeating one Soul King and four high-level Soul Ancestors.

Wouldn't the championship be theirs then?

At the thought, Feng Xiaotian had already begun imagining the grand scene of his future victory.

"Has my Soul Power risen to rank twenty-two?"

After absorbing the Sword Orchid Soul Ring, Tang San sensed the condition of his body and felt somewhat dissatisfied with his cultivation speed.

The Tang Sect was flourishing now, but it still lacked a perfect opportunity to make its name known across the continent.

That made Tang San think of the All-Continent Advanced Spirit Master Elite Tournament jointly held by the two great empires of Heaven Dou and Star Luo, along with Spirit Hall.

Tang San himself felt that he had no hope in next year's tournament.

But in the tournament after next, six years from now, he would already be fourteen years old. He might be able to achieve something in the competition and make the Tang Sect's name known.

If he could win the championship, every notable force on the continent would know that the champion was the Tang Sect Master. It would also be a fierce blow to Spirit Hall's prestige.

However, at his current cultivation speed, his Soul Power would be at most around rank forty-five six years from now.

Spirit Hall had dominated so many tournaments for a reason.

Tang San would not underestimate them simply because of his hatred for Spirit Hall, and he also knew the current state of Heaven Dou Royal Academy of Spirit Masters.

He did not believe that, while dragging along six deadweights, he could defeat Spirit Hall's seeded team with only rank forty-five Soul Power.

Unless the tournament changed its rules and allowed external means beyond Martial Souls, giving his hidden weapons a chance to shine.

"Looks like it's time to use external assistance to open my Eight Extraordinary Meridians."

"Resources are no longer a problem, and there's plenty of Medicinal Bath available. Even if opening my meridians fails and injures me, I can recover quickly without leaving any hidden damage."

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Ning Fengzhi took out a head Soul Bone and handed it to Ning Rongrong, saying:

"Rongrong, this head Soul Bone was dropped not long ago when Uncle Bone killed a sixty-thousand-year Mirror Shadow Beast in the Extreme North."

"Absorb it as soon as possible. With the Soul Power provided by this Soul Bone, Father believes you'll break through to rank thirty after absorbing it."

After two years of education, Ning Rongrong's temperament and personality had undergone an astonishing transformation.

Hearing this, she said nothing more. Instead, she obediently accepted the more than sixty-thousand-year-old head Soul Bone, immediately sat down on the spot, and began absorbing it.

As early as five months ago, Ning Rongrong had absorbed a Torso Soul Bone.

That Torso Bone had come from a Diamond Unicorn over fifty thousand years old.

The immense Soul Power remaining within the Torso Soul Bone had directly raised Ning Rongrong, whose Soul Power had only been rank sixteen at the time, to rank twenty, with a great deal of Soul Power still remaining.

Afterward, Ning Rongrong absorbed an Emerald Bird Soul Ring that was over eight hundred years old.

The Soul Power added by the Soul Ring, combined with the remaining Soul Power from the Soul Bone, caused Ning Rongrong's Soul Power to soar instantly to rank twenty-five.

The phantom image of the eighth level of her Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul also, as expected, became much more solid.

Seeing how remarkable the results were, Ning Fengzhi was overjoyed.

He even spared no expense in having the two Titled Douluo, Sword and Bone, take turns slaughtering Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts in the Soul Beast Forest.

All so Ning Rongrong could absorb Soul Bones to rapidly raise her Soul Power, allowing him to see the evolved Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda as soon as possible.

But large-scale slaughter of soul beasts offended the harmony of Heaven, and Spirit Hall had explicitly forbidden such acts.

Therefore, Ning Fengzhi could only have the Sword and Bone Titled Douluo carry it out in secret, choosing Soul Beast Forests rarely visited by anyone and doing their utmost not to attract attention.

If anyone noticed, kill them without mercy!

The higher a soul beast's cultivation, the greater the chance of a Soul Bone dropping.

Thus, the Sword and Bone Titled Douluo targeted soul beasts over fifty thousand years old whose types were compatible with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

Soul beasts over fifty thousand years old were already scarce, and fifty-thousand-year soul beasts compatible with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda were even rarer.

Over the past two years, they had only slaughtered a little over twenty soul beasts that met the requirements, and only two Soul Bones had dropped.

One was a fifty-thousand-year Diamond Unicorn Torso Bone, while the other was a sixty-thousand-year Mirror Shadow Beast head Soul Bone.

Knowing when to stop, Ning Fengzhi had the two Titled Douluo cease after obtaining the second Soul Bone.

While waiting for his daughter to absorb the Soul Bones, Ning Fengzhi looked toward the enormous planter beside him.

Inside the planter grew a flower on the verge of death. Its petals were a crystalline red, dazzling like flawless rubies.

This was the Third Soul Ring Ning Fengzhi had prepared for Ning Rongrong: a two-thousand-five-hundred-year Ruby Sun Flower, capable of granting the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda a Soul Power Amplification soul skill.

Gem-type soul beasts were rare, and gem-type soul beasts capable of providing a Soul Power Amplification soul skill were rarer still.

Ning Fengzhi had begun having people search two years ago, and they had only found this Ruby Sun Flower three months earlier.

Its cultivation of over two thousand five hundred years exceeded the normal limit for a Third Soul Ring.

But when his daughter absorbed this soul ring, she would have two Soul Bones over fifty thousand years old with her, so no problems should arise.

The only possible issue was whether, after his daughter absorbed the Ruby Sun Flower's soul ring, the phantom image of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's eighth level could fully solidify.
