Douluo Continent: Martial Soul - Dragon Pattern Staff, Inherited from the Azure Dragon of the East

Chapter 228 Ning Fengzhi Sensing Something Was Wrong

The Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul appeared in everyone's sight.

It's like a real pagoda, so lifelike, shimmering with colorful light that illuminates the surroundings.

"18.9!"

"Dust Heart," Gu Rong murmured, then revealed a look of shock.

"The Nine-Jeweled Glazed Pagoda!"

That's right. Ning Fengzhi's martial soul is no longer the Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, but has grown a ninth layer, becoming the legendary Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda!

In other words, Ning Fengzhi can break through to the ninth ring of Title Douluo.

His current soul power level is 85.

To become a Title Douluo, you are still five levels away.

However, leveling up in Contra is incredibly difficult.

Gu Rong and Chen Xin, having been through it all, knew this all too well.

Even if a sect possesses abundant money and resources, it is extremely difficult to advance to the next level if those resources cannot be exchanged for usable resources of the corresponding level.

Ning Fengzhi opened his eyes, a look of surprise on his face.

"It's done! The Nine-Jeweled Glazed Tile Pagoda!"

"It was something only my ancestors possessed!"

"This is the true form of the Seven-Jeweled Glazed Tile Pagoda!"

"This is a flawless form that can break through to the ninth-ring Title Douluo level!"

Ning Fengzhi was overjoyed.

Suddenly I realize that spending those nine billion gold soul coins was totally worth it!

"Your ancestors built a nine-jeweled glazed pagoda; why wasn't it passed down?"

"On the contrary, they inherited the flawed Seven-Jeweled Glazed Tile Pagoda?"

Liu Erlong asked, puzzled.

Could it be that Ning Fengzhi isn't his biological son?

She swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.

It's just too immoral to ask, I can't bring myself to do it.

Gu Rong and Chen Xin were also somewhat puzzled: "Yes, Feng Zhi, why is that?"

Everyone knows that the inheritance of martial spirits is always of a higher level.

The Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda is definitely top-tier, perhaps even reaching the level of a demigod.

It should naturally be passed down, but it just hasn't been.

It's truly incomprehensible.

"I'm actually not sure about this either, and I'm quite confused about it."

"Your superiors know a lot about spirit evolution, maybe they know? Why don't you ask them for me? I'm also very curious to know why?"

Ning Fengzhi is quite confused too.

He wasn't pretending to be confused; he genuinely didn't know.

If the higher-ups that Flander mentioned really knew, he really wanted to know why.

Could it be that I'm really not their biological child?

Or is it the lives of the rest of the people?

Or was it that the ancestor was infertile?

"Okay, we're allies now, so of course there's no problem. I'll ask my superiors when I get back, and I'll give you an answer whether there's a result or not," Flander nodded and said.

"Okay, thank you very much." Ning Fengzhi nodded.

"This is the distraction control method you wanted. Although it's just a template, all the details are in it."

The next second, he took out a book from his soul guide ring and handed it to Flander.

"Alright, now that this matter is settled, we'll be leaving." Flander took the bag and stood up.

Then, with a wave of his hand, he led the people of the Eastern Azure Dragon Sect to retreat and leave.

In an instant, the Eight Treasures Glazed Tile School became much quieter.

It felt like I was in a dream.

It's extremely unrealistic.

"Fengzhi, what should we do next?" Gu Rong and Chen Xin asked in deep voices.

If the Azure Dragon Sect of the East is already so powerful, wouldn't the forces above be even more terrifying?

"Rongrong is still outside. Should we arrange for someone to bring her back?"

"No one can guarantee that Shrek Academy won't become a target of public criticism."

Chenxin and Gurong voiced their concerns.

They would feel more at ease if Ning Rongrong, who is away, could come back.

After all, that's his precious treasure.

Because the members of the Eastern Azure Dragon Sect all wore masks with azure dragon patterns, their true faces were not recognized.

They still don't know that two of the two Title Douluos they fought were people they knew.

One is Flander, and the other is Liu Erlong.

In addition, the martial souls of today have all mutated and are completely different.

As for why the existence of the soul spirit wasn't mentioned to Ning Fengzhi and the other two, that was also part of the plan; the time just hadn't come yet.

As for when it will arrive?

When all the soul beasts have migrated from the current continent to another continent.

At that time, the Spirit Transmission Congress will be established, and then it will promote the existence of this brand-new system of spirits to the outside world.

Indeed, Li Fei referenced the Legend of the Dragon King and even the subsequent plot.

Once it is discovered that humans possess souls, the status of soul beasts will instantly drop to an extremely low level, becoming something dispensable and easily killed.

Human ambition is uncontrollable unless the entire human civilization is destroyed.

But Li Fei did not intend to do that. His sins were too heavy and did not fit the style of the Azure Dragon of the East. What he needed were believers and faith.

When a person dies, they have nothing left.

"Shrek Academy is not a sect or power, but an academy that teaches and nurtures people, so there is no need to worry too much." That's what he said, but Ning Fengzhi himself was not very confident.

"Report!"

Just then, a disciple rushed in.

The report leader said, "We've discovered something strange. While the entire continent is in turmoil, Soto City remains peaceful, and Shrek Academy has not been besieged by reactionary forces. Everything is safe and sound."

Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi, Gu Rongchenxin, and the other two breathed a sigh of relief; the heavy weight that had been hanging over their hearts had finally been lifted.

"What's the situation in the Kingdom of Barak?" Ning Fengzhi asked.

The Kingdom of Barak has two enormous cities.

One is Barak City, the central capital of the Barak Kingdom.

One of them is Soto City, a major military fortress of the Barak Kingdom and the Heavenly Dou Empire, specifically responsible for frontline supply points against the invasion of the Star Luo Empire.

The world is in chaos. The Star Luo Empire has been split into countless small countries, and its army has been fragmented. Local powers have seized territory, established independent states, and amassed their own armies. No one is willing to launch a war against Soto City and the Barak Kingdom.

Because they all had to be wary of sudden attacks from various small countries on the other side of their territory.

"Didn't they take this opportunity to declare independence?" Ning Fengzhi asked, somewhat puzzled.

Given Soto's strong infrastructure and economic power, it was fully capable of declaring independence and becoming a small country during times of chaos.

While everyone else declared independence, Soto City did not. He, in a high position, sensed something was amiss, but the specifics remained unknown.

"No." The scout shook his head.

"Logically speaking, a behemoth like Soto should have become a battleground, yet it remains peaceful and unharmed."

"My intuition tells me that this great chaos is very likely related to the forces hidden within the Kingdom of Barak and even Soto City."

"The Eastern Azure Dragon Sect may also have some connection with them."

"What even more terrifying conspiracy lies behind this remains to be seen."

"Continue monitoring. If any unrest occurs, find a way to bring Rongrong back to me immediately!"

Ning Fengzhi spoke up.

"Yes, sir!" the scout nodded.

"By the way, how is the situation with the Heavenly Dou Royal Family?" Although the treaty stipulated that he could not interfere, it did not restrict him from inquiring about the situation.

"Emperor Xueye is extremely anxious. Crown Prince Xue Qinghe has gone missing. They are building the Great Wall to strengthen their defenses and desperately need to contact our sect."

"That's what the scout said."
