Title Effects, a Titled Douluo Guardian!

Ning Liu had almost immediately wanted to summon him when a new system notification followed close behind.

Ding!

System Description: The title "A Bit of Pocket Money" has the following effect: Before the next auction, the host may randomly draw one item from the System Reward Pool to serve as an auction item and receive a 1–100-fold return.

The title "Quite Wealthy" has the following effect: Before the next auction, the host may randomly draw one item from the System Reward Pool to serve as an auction item and receive a 1–1000-fold return!

Ning Liu's mind buzzed.

A hundredfold return? A thousandfold return?

That was nothing.

But the key was that the starting point was an item from the System Reward Pool!

He naturally did not know exactly how many items were in the System Reward Pool.

But Hundred Thousand Year Immortal Herbs—like the Aromatic Silk Beauty—were definitely in there!

That meant if he drew a Hundred Thousand Year Immortal Herb and put it up for auction, he could theoretically receive up to a thousand in return!

A thousand Hundred Thousand Year Immortal Herb Qiluo Tulips!

What kind of concept was that?

If he gave them to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, how many people, from elders to Inner Sect Disciples, could cleanse their marrow and reconstruct their bodies like he had, break through their limits, and evolve their Martial Souls into Nine Treasures Glazed Pagodas...

This was simply revolutionary!

So this was how those two titles were meant to be used!

The system really knew how to pull tricks.

Suddenly, a shiver ran through his entire body!

The benefits brought by the titles were tangible, but they had abruptly made him think of a problem.

His own safety!

After this auction, his Grade D Auction House would definitely become famous!

But if he really drew a Hundred Thousand Year Immortal Herb and put it up for auction...

Even Titled Douluos would probably come scrambling for it!

The entire process itself required absolute protective strength.

Was he supposed to reason with them using nothing but his mouth?

He only had a Soul Saint-level guardian right now!

Even if that guardian were utterly loyal, how could he possibly protect it?

He could not exactly have that Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast come out and guard the venue, could he?

That would be no different from walking into a trap.

The reward of a Titled Douluo-level guardian became even more important and urgent at this moment.

It was the strongest and most reliable security he could obtain in a short period of time.

"System, summon a Titled Douluo-level guardian!" he ordered inwardly.

Ding!

Randomly drawing a Titled Douluo-level guardian...

Congratulations, Host! You have obtained a Titled Douluo-level guardian: Xu Jiushi, known as the Mystic Turtle Douluo!

Mystic Turtle Douluo?

He sounded like a defensive Soul Master!

Martial Soul: Golden Xuanwu

Soul Power Level: Level 96

Ability Description: Ultimate Defense. (Can greatly weaken enemy attacks! Exceptional recovery!)

Note: The Mystic Turtle Douluo is absolutely loyal to the Host and may be summoned or dismissed at any time.

Ning Liu sucked in a breath.

Level 96!

Ultimate Defense!

He could greatly weaken enemy attacks! And possessed exceptional recovery!

These attributes were practically made for taking hits, made for guarding others.

Ning Liu knew very few Titled Douluos.

There were only the two from his own sect: Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo!

Sword Douluo Chen Xin possessed the Seven Kill Sword Martial Soul! His Soul Power was also Level 96!

But now, it seemed that his own Level 96 ultimate defense-type Douluo was likely more than capable of standing against the pure offensive power of someone like Sword Douluo.

Perhaps in a prolonged battle, he might even gain the upper hand through his exceptional recovery ability?

This counted as truly top-tier protective strength, didn't it?

Ning Liu could not help but feel stirred.

However, he did not rush to summon the Mystic Turtle Douluo.

He glanced at Ning Rongrong. She was hugging the Moonlight Spirit Rabbit Soft Armor, examining it closely and clicking her tongue in wonder, her little face brimming with happiness.

It was time to let her see his strength.

This was both a display and groundwork for some explanations later on.

With a thought from Ning Liu, a golden orb of light abruptly appeared.

It was precisely the God-Bestowed Soul Ring rewarded by the system.

His Soul Power was at Level 50, so this was the perfect time to absorb it.

Ning Liu held the golden orb in his palm, its faint golden radiance illuminating his face.

Ning Rongrong sensed something at that moment and suddenly looked up.

When she saw the golden orb in Ning Liu's palm, she froze for a moment.

"Senior Brother, what is that?"

she asked curiously.

Ning Liu did not answer directly, merely smiling.

With a thought, the golden orb slowly rose and hovered above his head.

Then, the points of light began to spin, releasing a dazzling glow.

A vast wave of Soul Power erupted from Ning Liu.

"Huh?"

Ning Rongrong's little mouth fell open.

Why was this Soul Power fluctuation so powerful?

Senior Brother Ning Liu's Soul Power was higher than hers, but it should not have been this much stronger, right?

No!

She carefully sensed it and realized this was not merely a matter of stronger Soul Power.

It was a... Martial Soul aura!

Soon after, Ning Liu's Martial Soul slowly manifested under the impetus of his Soul Power.

It was a pagoda.

A treasure pagoda radiating nine-colored light!

"N-Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda?"

Ning Rongrong's voice trembled with disbelief.

The instant Ning Liu's Martial Soul appeared, her Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda Martial Soul actually developed an indescribable sense of submission!

It was as though it had encountered its own ancestor!

What was going on?

Wasn't Senior Brother Ning Liu's Martial Soul the Two Treasure Glazed Pagoda?

When had it become the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda?

Then, Ning Liu's Soul Rings appeared!

Yellow, yellow, black, black!

Four Soul Rings?

Then the Soul Power fluctuation he was releasing now was at Level 50?!

Ning Rongrong felt as though her mind could barely process it.

Level 50?!

Senior Brother Ning Liu was only eighteen!

W-What kind of monster was this?!

And what was that golden orb floating above his head?

Why had she never seen anything like it before?

Ning Liu ignored Ning Rongrong's shock. He guided the God-Bestowed Soul Ring down slowly and began absorbing it.

Golden light completely enveloped him, while the aura of his Soul Power continued to rise.

Before long, he successfully added a fifth Soul Ring to his Martial Soul!

This Soul Ring was more than forty thousand years old!

He opened his eyes, a flash of divine light passing through them.

His Soul Power had also leaped directly from Level 50 to Level 52.

"Senior Brother... you..."

Ning Rongrong stared at him blankly, her lips moving, yet she had no idea what to say.

She had far too many questions she wanted to ask.

How had his Martial Soul changed?

Why was his Soul Power so high?

What was that golden orb? Could it directly transform into a Soul Ring?

And how could his Soul Ring configuration possibly be this powerful?

Bang, bang, bang!

Just then, someone knocked on the door to the Field Master's Office.

"Field Master!"

Li An's somewhat hurried voice came from outside.

"S-Sect Master Ning, along with Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, have arrived. They want you to go see them!"
