Ning Rongrong's Martial Soul Evolves, Tang San and Xiao Wu Break Through!

Ning Fengzhi's smile was gentle.

"Rongrong."

Ning Rongrong trembled and lifted her head.

"Absorb this immortal herb."

Ning Fengzhi held the Aromatic Silk Beauty out to Ning Rongrong.

Ning Rongrong suddenly took a step back, her little face instantly turning pale.

"No! Dad! I won't!"

"You're the one who needs it most! If your martial soul can evolve, then our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect..."

Her words were urgent, filled with a daughter's adoration for her father and a sense of responsibility toward the sect.

Ning Fengzhi's eyes stirred faintly, a hundred emotions welling in his heart.

Bone Douluo Gu Rong watched it all from the side, a look of understanding appearing on his face.

Fengzhi was worthy of being the Sect Master. He thought far ahead.

Senior Brother Ning Liu's Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda was already a fact. If Rongrong could evolve as well, then the future Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would belong to these two young people.

And if Ning Fengzhi absorbed it himself, for one, it might make Ning Liu feel resentment; for another, it would also help safeguard Rongrong's future position!

After all, Ning Rongrong was the sect's most direct bloodline!

He stepped forward, his huge, palm-leaf-fan-like hand pressing down on Ning Rongrong's shoulder.

"Silly girl!"

Gu Rong's voice was stern.

"Your father is getting on in years. How could his potential compare to a little girl like you?"

"If you absorb this immortal herb now, it will be just in time to lay the strongest possible foundation!"

"Your future achievements will definitely far surpass us old fellows!"

He grinned, showing a mouthful of white teeth.

"Don't worry. Your father has me and old Jian Ren protecting him! If anyone dares touch even a hair on his head, this old man will tear his bones apart first!"

Listening to Bone Douluo's words, then looking at her father's encouraging gaze, Ning Rongrong's eyes grew hot.

"Dad..."

She threw herself into Ning Fengzhi's arms and burst into tears.

Ning Fengzhi gently patted his daughter's back, a gratified smile appearing on his face.

He comforted her softly, "Rongrong, be good."

"This is your opportunity, and it is also the future of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."

He paused, his gaze drifting almost imperceptibly toward Ning Liu as he continued meaningfully.

"In the future, you and Senior Brother Ning Liu must support each other and carry the sect to greater heights."

Ning Rongrong's sobs gradually stopped. Hearing those words, her cheeks flushed bright red in an instant, like a ripe apple.

She secretly raised her eyes to glance at Ning Liu, then quickly lowered her head again, her heart pounding uselessly out of control.

Ning Liu stood to the side, the corner of his lips curling, looking as if he were smiling and yet not. He did not respond, merely gave a simple explanation of how to absorb the immortal herb.

Afterward, Ning Fengzhi solemnly placed the Aromatic Silk Beauty in Ning Rongrong's hands.

"Rongrong, absorb it according to the method Ning Liu described."

Ning Rongrong nodded, wiped away her tears, held the immortal herb that emitted a strange fragrance, and sat down cross-legged.

She closed her eyes, aimed her mouth and nose at the stamen, and carefully circulated her Soul Power.

An indescribable fragrance slowly entered her body.

In that instant, Ning Rongrong felt a vast and pure energy surge into every limb and bone. Her Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda martial soul trembled wildly inside her body, giving off an incomparably delighted hum.

A seven-colored halo began to appear over the surface of her body.

The halo grew brighter and brighter, gradually enveloping her entire person.

Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo all watched with bated breath and full concentration.

A moment later, the light blazed brilliantly!

The illusory image of the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda behind Ning Rongrong suddenly shot upward—one floor, two floors... until it reached nine floors!

The Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda!

At the same time, the aura of Soul Power on Ning Rongrong rose level by level.

Rank twenty-eight!

Rank twenty-nine!

Rank thirty!

Her Soul Power shot straight to rank thirty!

The light gradually receded, and Ning Rongrong slowly opened her eyes.

Her eyes were clearer and brighter than before, and her once slightly spoiled, willful air now carried a touch of grace and nobility, like a fairy descending to the mortal world.

"Dad, I did it!"

Ning Rongrong felt the changes within her body and cried out in delighted surprise.

A gratified look appeared on Ning Fengzhi's face.

"Good!"

"Rongrong, how do you feel?"

"My martial soul really evolved into the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda!"

"And my Soul Power—rank thirty at twelve years old! Dad, I've broken the record of the Soul Master World!"

Ning Rongrong said excitedly, her little face brimming with joy.

Ning Fengzhi took a deep breath and looked at Ning Liu, his gaze filled with solemnity.

"Ning Liu, thank you for this."

"My Lord, you are too kind."

Ning Liu gave a slight nod.

Ning Fengzhi turned to Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo.

"Uncle Sword, Uncle Bone, we return to the sect at once."

"I will clear Ning Liu's name within the sect!"

His tone was firm.

"And I will arrange the production and distribution of these Zhuge Crossbows as soon as possible!"

"Yes, Sect Master!"

Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo answered in unison.

Ning Liu cupped his fists and said, "My Lord, Elders, safe travels."

Ning Fengzhi nodded, then looked at Ning Rongrong as if he wanted to say something.

"I'm not going!"

Ning Rongrong had clearly anticipated what he wanted to say. She quickly walked to Ning Liu's side, grabbed his sleeve, and said with a pout:

"Dad, if you want to tell me to go back to Shrek Academy, then don't even say it. I'm not going!"

"It's so much more interesting being with Senior Brother Ning Liu!"

Ning Fengzhi was first taken aback when he heard this, then revealed a faint smile.

He had originally sent Ning Rongrong to Shrek Academy precisely to temper her temperament.

Now, it seemed that with Ning Liu here, the results might be even better.

Moreover, the two of them could use the chance to nurture their relationship.

"Very well."

Ning Fengzhi nodded in agreement.

"Rongrong, then you may stay in Suotuo City for the time being and learn by Ning Liu's side."

"However, you must not make trouble. You are to listen to your senior brother in everything."

"Got it, Dad!"

Ning Rongrong beamed with joy.

Watching this scene, Ning Liu suddenly seemed to think of something. His heart stirred, and he abruptly spoke.

"My Lord, this disciple has an presumptuous request."

"Oh? Go ahead."

Ning Fengzhi looked at him.

"I plan to hold the next auction in three days."

Ning Liu said calmly.

"This auction will likely cause a tremendous uproar, and the items auctioned at that time will only be more valuable than today's."

"This disciple is worried they will draw the covetous eyes of others, so I would like to ask Elder Sword Douluo to remain here for a few days and hold the fort."

As soon as these words were spoken, Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo all grew serious.

If it had been before, they might have scoffed!

What sort of thing would require a Titled Douluo to guard it? Besides, didn't you already have a Titled Douluo by your side?

But now, after seeing the Martial Soul Origin Evolution Pill and the Aromatic Silk Beauty, they would no longer think that way!

If the Martial Soul Origin Evolution Pill were put up for sale, even Titled Douluo would inevitably flock to it!

Ning Fengzhi pondered for a moment, then nodded.

"All right."

"Uncle Sword, I'll have to trouble you to stay behind and lend Ning Liu a hand."

"As for the sect's affairs, Uncle Bone and I will return to handle them first."

"Once things are settled over there, we'll come back."

Sword Douluo Chen Xin remained expressionless, merely giving a faint "Mm" in acknowledgment.

After that, Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo wasted no more time and turned to leave!

Shrek Academy, a certain dormitory.

Tang San sat cross-legged on the bed, holding in his palm a lingzhi that was jade-green all over and gave off a faint fragrance.

It was none other than the Thousand Year Green Lingzhi he had won at the first auction!

Without the slightest hesitation, he swallowed it in one gulp.

As the medicinal power dissolved, a stream of pure energy flowed through his body.

A moment later, Tang San opened his eyes, and a sharp gleam flashed through them.

Soul Power, rank thirty!

He got up, pushed open the dormitory door, and headed straight for a certain place.

Meanwhile, in Xiao Wu's dormitory.

She was putting the Moonlight Spirit Rabbit Soft Armor on beneath her close-fitting clothes.

The soft armor was as light as if it weighed nothing, carrying a trace of coolness.

The instant she put on the soft armor, Xiao Wu felt the Soul Power inside her body seem to be drawn by something, producing a strange interaction with the soft armor.

Driven by that interaction, her Soul Power actually quietly broke through its bottleneck as well.

Rank thirty!

Xiao Wu's eyes widened in delight, though she couldn't quite figure out why.

"Knock, knock, knock."

A knocking sounded at the door.

"Xiao Wu, it's me."

Tang San's voice came from outside.

Xiao Wu opened the door and saw Tang San, her face carrying a trace of excitement.

"Xiao San, I have something to tell you!"

Tang San also spoke. "I have something to tell you too. My Soul Power has reached rank thirty!"

"Huh? You're rank thirty too?"

Xiao Wu said in surprise.

"I also just reached rank thirty!"

The two looked at each other and saw the joy in each other's eyes.

"Come on, let's go find Dean Flender and ask him to take us to obtain spirit rings!"

Tang San said.

"Okay!"

Xiao Wu immediately nodded.

Inwardly, she made her own calculations. This was just the right chance to make a trip back to the Star Dou Great Forest.

She wanted to find Da Ming and Er Ming and see if she could get some good things out of them to take to that whatever-it-was auction and try selling them.

The two arrived at Flender's rather shabby little shop.

Flender was lying on a recliner with one leg crossed over the other, swaying leisurely.

"Dean!"

Tang San and Xiao Wu walked into the shop.

Flender opened one eye and glanced at them.

"Oh, it's you two Little Monsters. What is it?"

"Dean, we've both broken through to rank thirty. We'd like to ask you to take us to hunt for spirit rings."

Tang San said.

"Pfft—"

The mouthful of tea Flender had just taken sprayed straight out, and he shot up from his recliner.

"What did you say?!"

His eyes went wide as he stared hard at Tang San and Xiao Wu.

"You two are both at rank thirty?"

"Twelve years old, rank thirty?!"

Flender's voice cracked.

"Hahaha! Good! Excellent!"

Flender rubbed his hands together in excitement.

"Isn't it just hunting for a spirit ring? A trivial matter!"

"Now! We're setting out right now!"

He strode out of the shop, swept his hand grandly, and looked even more impatient than Tang San and Xiao Wu.

The next instant, Soul Power erupted from Flender's body, and seven spirit rings appeared in a flash.

"Cat Owl Possession!"

"Martial Soul Avatar!"

Flender's figure transformed along with it into a gigantic cat owl.

"Get on!"

He shouted to Tang San and Xiao Wu.

The two exchanged a glance, then leaped onto the back of the enormous cat owl Flender had transformed into.

"Sit tight!"

Flender gave a loud shout, beat his wings, and soared into the sky.

Then the gigantic cat owl traced an arc high overhead, speeding toward the Star Dou Great Forest.
