"The reason why the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect can occupy a place among the Upper Three Sects is due to the unique characteristics of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. Soul Master empowered by auxiliary Soul Skill can ignore level differences. With my Soul Saint- level strength, they can instantly increase their strength by 80%. With your Grandpa Jian's current level 96 strength, this 80% auxiliary boost allows him to fight at least two levels above his current level. You must know that once the Soul Power Level reaches 95, each level increase brings earth-shattering power. Being able to fight two levels above the current level after crossing level 95—this is the number one auxiliary Martial Soul on the continent, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda."
Inside the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Sect Master Ning Fengzhi looked at Ning Rongrong, whose forehead was covered in sweat as she diligently practiced the Heart Separation Control Method, and slowly spoke while leaning on his scepter.
"And with Tianshuang's help, you consumed Immortal Herb, allowing your Martial Soul to evolve into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. You can cultivate all the way up to the Titled Douluo level. Once you reach the Titled Douluo level, those who assist you will receive a 110% power boost—that's terrifying! Therefore, you must cultivate even harder. Tianshuang has joined the Spirit Hall, and your senior sisters have gone to the Far North to cultivate, Rongrong, you are my daughter. I know your thoughts, but putting aside Tianshuang's relationship with Elder Sword, if you still want to follow behind him in the future, you must cultivate diligently now and become a great help to him."
How could Ning Fengzhi not see through his beloved daughter's thoughts after raising her for over a decade? It's just that Yu Tianshuang's progress is too rapid. Just a moment ago, she shattered Tang San's Clear Sky True Body with a single sword strike in front of the Pope's Palace. And now, she has single-handedly captured Yu Xiaogang from the Golden Iron Triangle. Such a leap in strength is unheard of in the thousands of years of the Douluo Continent.
"Oh, Dad, please stop nagging me when I'm focused on my cultivation. Besides, even if I remain Soul Ancestor for life, I'll still see a 40% increase in strength. Brother Tianshuang is so strong; he can defeat the Golden Triangle on his own. If I were to enhance his support Soul Skill, wouldn't I be able to easily crush a proper Titled Douluo? Haha, and Grandpa Jian, do you think he wouldn't mind?"
Ning Rongrong was well aware that Yu Tianshuang's progress was putting immense pressure not only on Shui Bing'er and the others, but also on her, who had never been fond of cultivation. However, her father's incessant nagging made it impossible for her to concentrate on her cultivation, so she playfully stuck out her tongue and teased him in a lighthearted manner.
"Yes, yes, Rongrong, don't worry. If that brat Tianshuang ever dares to dislike you in the future, as his grandfather, I won't spank him. You're my little princess, aren't you, Old Bones?"
"Haha, of course! My little princess, don't worry, Grandpa Bone will always protect you. Fengzhi, you too, why put so much pressure on the child? I think Tianshuang is a very kind-hearted child, and she will definitely cherish Rongrong just like we do in the future."
Hearing his sect's two elders speaking so affectionately and winking at him, Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but smile, his usually calm and refined expression breaking into a smile.
In the training grounds of the Spirit Hall's main hall in Spirit City, two figures, one red and one pink, were rapidly flashing and fighting. Blazing flames kept shooting towards a stunningly beautiful girl wielding a short dagger. The girl, like a nimble fox, moved with graceful and delicate movements like a small boat, dodging and weaving through the waves of flames.
"Second Soul Skill: Charm."
As Hu Liena's Charm face and graceful figure appeared beside Yan, he had been on guard against this move, but a moment was enough to decide the outcome. When he regained his senses and returned to reality, Hu Liena was already smiling as she held a dagger to his neck.
"Very good, Nana, as expected of the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall. I happen to have a mission for you. I received a message from Salas that Yu Tianshuang has captured Yu Xiaogang from the Golden Iron Triangle and is now on her way to Spirit City. The three of you will go to meet her. The details are in this letter. Go."
Bibi Dong watched from above as Hu Liena defeated Yan with almost no effort, nodded, and then tossed a letter to her, saying...
"That brat, he's really good at causing trouble. But how did he manage to snatch Yu Xiaogang from that poor woman Liu Erlong? Not counting their three-person Martial Soul Fusion Skill, she and Flender are both close to the Soul Douluo level. This kid really surprises us at every turn."
Bibi Dong thought back to how Liu Erlong and Yu Xiaogang were together, all lovey-dovey. For some reason, she didn't feel a trace of jealousy now, only a sense of relief and regret for being a woman herself.
"Aunt, I won this battle. You can take them back now. As for the news, I think you'll spread it for me without me having to say anything. I'll be waiting for Tang San in Spirit City."
Even after they were thawed, the residual power of the Ultimate Ice still caused them to tremble and move slowly at times. Liu Erlong, who was in the lead, revealed a trace of unwillingness in his eyes. He took a deep look at his nephew, who had been so naive not long ago, nodded, and silently turned and left.
"How could this be? How could this be? Teacher Erlong others are Soul Saint, and Soul Saint who are very close to Soul Douluo! How did this person do it? What makes him so special? What is his secret...?"
Dai Mubai's face turned pale, and he gave Yu Tianshuang a sinister look. Sensing his gaze, he quickly lowered his head and silently muttered in disbelief to himself.
"Let's take it slow. We'll enter the Haagen-Dazs Kingdom soon. We'll buy a carriage once we're in the city. Luckily, this carriage was a gift from Qian Renxue; otherwise, it would cost quite a few Gold Soul Coin, which would be a bit painful..."
These past few years at the academy, I've had no worries about food or clothing and have been diligently cultivating. I haven't had any troubles in terms of life. Now that I'm out here, I realize that there are daily necessities and money needed for everything. Fortunately, I've saved up quite a few Gold Soul Coin over the years, and my teacher gave me a lot before I left. Otherwise, although the three of them wouldn't have had to walk all the way to Spirit City, it would have been fine for me to fly on my sword alone, but carrying three people on a long flight would have been quite exhausting.
"Alas, what is a blessing in disguise, Xiaogang? You took Tang San as your disciple to prove your theory, but now you're being implicated because of him. Do you really think worldly opinions matter that much?"
Looking at the dejected expressions of those around him, especially Dai Mubai and the others, Flender couldn't help but sigh. Yu Tianshuang was decisive and ruthless, with extraordinary talent, even surpassing Tang San. Yu Xiaogang, on the other hand, cared too much about what others thought. From his wedding with Erlong to now meeting Tang San, his disciple who could finally prove his theories to the world, he had been far too concerned about external opinions. But were these things really that important?
