Douluo Continent: I Can Summon Heroic Spirits

Chapter 105 The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School Joins; The Tower Master is Truly a Young and Promising Person.

Upon hearing this, the entire reception room fell into a deathly silence.

The old man sitting next to Ning Yunyun, as well as Ning Tian and Wu Feng listening in from behind, all stared wide-eyed in disbelief, as if they had heard something unbelievable.

"Young...Young Master—what did the Sect Master just say?" Wu Feng asked in a low voice, his tone filled with shock.

Ning Tian swallowed hard, his mind blank: "This, this—"

Even Ye Chenxing was stunned.

He originally only wanted to manipulate her and extract more value from her, but he never expected that this seemingly dignified and elegant female sect leader would have such astonishing courage.

You can't judge a book by its cover! This seemingly frail woman dared to go all in with her eyes closed at a crucial moment concerning the fate of her sect!

In terms of sheer ruthlessness and determination, this might even surpass Ning Fengzhi's gamble on Tang San ten thousand years ago.

"This truly surprises me, Sect Leader Ning," Ye Chenxing exclaimed sincerely, her eyes sparkling.

"No!"

Only then did Elder Wu awaken from his dream.

What did she hear? The sect leader was actually offering up the entire sect?!

Under intense provocation, she disregarded her status and reprimanded Yunyun in the tone of an elder, "Yunyun, do you know what nonsense you're spouting! How can the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, with its ten-thousand-year-old heritage, be so easily handed over to others!"

Elder Wu wasn't a member of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, so he didn't have a fervent sense of belonging to this millennia-old glory. But this was Ning Yunyun's father's sect, the life's work of the man in her heart! She absolutely couldn't stand by and watch it be squandered!

However, faced with Elder Wu's anger, Ning Yunyun did not try to appease him as she usually did.

She slowly stood up, her beautiful face as cold as ice, displaying the authority befitting a sect leader.

"Elder Wu, this is a decision I made after careful consideration, not some impulsive act." Ning Yunyun's voice was soft, but firm and resolute. "I cherish the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School that my father passed down to me. And what I am doing now is precisely for the continuation of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School!"

"Living under someone else's roof, becoming someone else's subordinate, what kind of continuation is this?!" Old Wu was furious.

Ning Yunyun shook her head self-deprecatingly, her voice tinged with bitterness: "Elder Wu, others may not know, but don't you know? Our Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect—has not seen a true Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda for far too long."

"To be honest, I find it somewhat laughable to be associated with this title on the mainland now."

"Since her ancestor Ning Rongrong ascended to the divine realm ten thousand years ago, she did not leave any direct bloodline inheritance in the mortal world. Now..."

Unlike ten thousand years ago, when the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, with its level cap of seventy-nine, made it difficult for sects to advance in the present era.

At this point, Ning Yunyun abruptly turned her head, her gaze fixed intently on Ye Chenxing, a blazing fire seemingly burning in her eyes: "And now, the opportunity to restore the sect to its absolute glory of ten thousand years ago is right before our eyes. Elder Wu, please teach me, as the sect leader, how can I refuse?!"

Elder Wu immediately became anxious, suppressing his anger as he advised, "But we can completely renegotiate the terms! Yunyun, how can you so hastily hand over the entire sect?"

Ning Yunyun let out a long sigh.

"Elder Wu, I know you come from Shrek Academy and have always looked down on the soul-guided technology of the Sun Moon Empire."

"But we must acknowledge a harsh reality: the Sun Moon Empire's foundation has long surpassed any of the three kingdoms to which Douluo originally belonged! Even if the three kingdoms joined forces, plus Shrek Academy as an ally, we could only manage a draw."

0

"The upper limit of Soul Masters is locked. For ten thousand years, no one in the world has become a god! Our strongest combat force is forever stuck at level 99 Limit Douluo, and level 99 Limit Douluo is no easy feat. Even Shrek Academy no longer has a Limit Douluo in charge."

"But what about the Sun Moon Empire? In many situations, even a level nine Soul Master can hold their own against our Super Douluo."

"The rumors circulating outside that the Sun Moon Empire has only a handful of level nine soul masters are, in my opinion, utterly ridiculous. They definitely have no fewer than twenty level nine soul masters."

With a history spanning ten thousand years, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School possesses an incredibly vast intelligence network. Although it faces numerous obstacles in the highly guarded territory of the Sun Moon Empire, gathering overt information remains a breeze.

Even if the intelligence network only sends back dry project names from the new inventions and papers of the ninth-level soul masters at Mingde Hall, it's enough for her.

The layman looks at the excitement and the insider looks at the doorway.

Don't forget, Ning Yunyun is not only the leader of a sect, she is also a genuine level eight soul master.

Although she had never personally worked with a level nine soul master, her years of experience in the field of soul tools allowed her to immediately see that something was amiss.

How could a mere few level-nine soul masters possibly have such incredible efficiency?

"Currently, none of the ninth-level Soul Masters have broken through to the Super Douluo level. But what if... they actually produce a Super Douluo? We'll likely be facing an unprecedented tenth-level Soul Master."

'

"Moreover, the improvement of soul tools may be faster than the breakthrough of their soul masters."

"At that point, it won't be called war anymore, but unilateral destruction! Douluo, originally belonging to the Three Kingdoms, will be utterly powerless to resist!"

"Ten or a hundred years from now, their soul guidance technology will only be stronger. How can a soul master who is stuck in the past defend against a fixed soul guidance shell?" Ning Yunyun turned her head to look at the Mingdu skyline outside the floor-to-ceiling window, a little dazed in her eyes.

And now, she sees hope.

The Star Tower is the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School's only hope for breaking the deadlock!

The master of the Star Tower not only possesses technology that is ahead of its time, but can even produce a peerless immortal item that the Sea God Tang San bestowed upon Ning Rongrong's ancestor ten thousand years ago.

The opponent's true power probably exceeds her imagination! She's gambling, betting the entire sect on a future where it can continue to survive.

With her ability to judge people, although she couldn't see through the Tower Master's true nature, she could at least be certain of one thing: he was definitely not the kind of person who was blinded by the lust for power. Judging from the Star Tower's various policies towards the outside world, its Tower Master must also be a person who cares about all living beings and loves peace.

Climbing the towering Star Tower, even if it means losing most of your autonomy, is a million times better than being crushed by the tides of time later on.

"At that time, perhaps only a few owners of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda will remain, like stray dogs clinging to other forces."

"Rather than waiting to die, let's seize this opportunity to secure a future that preserves our bloodline!"

In fact, Ning Yunyun's overall perspective is indeed ruthless.

In the original timeline, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School did indeed cease to exist ten thousand years later, its vast foundation vanishing into thin air.

When the Abyss Plane invaded, there wasn't even a single known successor of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School. Only a handful of Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Soul Masters remained, contributing to Tang Buddha's grand plan for ten thousand years on the Abyss battlefield.

Elder Wu opened his mouth, seemingly wanting to refute something, but looking at Ning Yunyun's resolute eyes, she seemed to see the old sect leader in a daze, and in the end, she let out a long sigh.

"Enough, enough—you're just like your father; once you've made up your mind, not even nine oxen could pull you back." The old shaman's expression was complicated.

"No matter what, I will stay by your side with my life. Do whatever you want."

Ning Yunyun glanced gratefully at Elder Wu, then took a deep breath, turned to face Ye Chenxing, and said in an extremely solemn tone, "Tower Master, as I just said, our Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has decided to merge the entire sect into the Star Tower, and will follow your lead!"

'

Ye Chenxing nodded slightly, appearing calm on the surface, but inwardly she was overjoyed.

You should know that the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School ten thousand years ago was incredibly wealthy, with gold bars falling out whenever the sect leader took a few steps within the school.

Although it has declined now, a lean camel is still bigger than a horse! Its foundation is still there.

Moreover, if Star Tower wants to promote itself successfully in the Three Kingdoms of Douluo Continent, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, with its timeless and prestigious reputation, is definitely the best stepping stone.

"The Star Tower naturally welcomes the addition of a powerful force like the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School with open arms."

Ye Chenxing chuckled lightly. Since this female sect leader was so sensible and sincere, he naturally wouldn't be stingy.

He lightly touched the top-grade cold jade box with his slender fingers and then pushed it onto the table.

The jade box glided across the smooth tabletop and came to a steady stop in front of Ning Yunyun.

Ning Yunyun was suddenly startled.

She never expected that she had only verbally pledged her loyalty and hadn't even gone through any substantive handover process when the other party so casually pushed this divine item, which was enough to drive all the soul masters in the world crazy, onto her!

Immortal items are already linked to becoming a god in this era, not to mention that this is the most suitable Qiluo Tulip for their Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Isn't he afraid of running away with the money?!

Ye Chenxing was of course not afraid.

Faced with absolute power, any schemes and tricks are futile. Moreover, a smart person who has the guts to go all in on the entire sect would never do something as foolish as going back on their word.

Ning Yunyun's hands began to tremble uncontrollably.

She carefully pressed down on the edge of the jade box.

As the exquisite tulip came into view, its rich, fragrant aroma wafting towards her, she took a deep breath, her eyes slightly reddening: "Thank you so much, Tower Master, for bestowing this treasure! Ning Yunyun, Sect Master of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, and the entire sect are willing to serve you with utmost loyalty!"

He stood up, casually dusted off his clothes, and smiled, "Now that the general direction has been set, the specific handover matters and resource allocation can be discussed in detail between Sect Master Ning and this Vice Tower Master beside me. I have some personal matters to attend to, so please excuse me."

o

After saying that, he turned to leave.

"Pagoda Master, please wait." Ning Yunyun quickly called out to him.

Ye Chenxing paused, turned around, and looked at him with a hint of doubt in his eyes.

At this moment, Ning Yunyun had completely shed her sect leader aura, and her whole demeanor had softened.

As a stunning beauty who was once famous throughout the continent, when she relaxed, the gentleness and grace of a mature woman spread out like water. In the blink of her eyes, she lost the majesty of a superior and gained a charming and approachable quality that was as refreshing as a spring breeze.

"We've been chatting for so long, yet I haven't had the pleasure of asking for the Tower Master's name?" Ning Yunyun bowed slightly, her tone gentle.

Ye Chenxing was slightly taken aback, then suddenly slapped his forehead and laughed, "This was indeed my oversight. I apologize to Sect Leader Ning, the Star Tower's counterintelligence work was a bit too thorough. But now that we're all on the same side, there's nothing to hide. My name is Ye Chenxing."

"Ye Chenxing————" Ning Yunyun savored these three words.

"What a wonderful name. So the name Star Tower comes from your name. I always thought it was related to your martial soul attribute."

"Tower Master, now that our Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School has come under your command, we have a favor to ask of you."

"Oh? Tell me about it."

Ning Yunyun waved to the back of her.

Standing in the corner, Ning Tian and Wu Feng were still immersed in the immense shock of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School returning to the Star Tower, their minds still in a state of lapse.

Suddenly called out by name, the two little ones immediately became like frightened birds, walking over tremblingly.

Even Wu Feng, who usually has a fiery temper, is as obedient as a quail.

"Tower Master, this is my daughter, Ning Tian." Ning Yunyun pointed to the blonde girl, then looked at the red-haired girl, "This..."

He was a descendant of Elder Wu, named Wu Feng.

"Both of them are rare geniuses in our sect and candidates for the next sect leader."

Ye Chenxing glanced at the two women, nodded slightly, and gestured for Ning Yunyun to continue.

"Originally, according to the sect elders' plan, they were going to be sent to Shrek Academy this time." Ning Yunyun smiled bitterly, "But because of some changes at Shrek, and now that we have arrived in Mingdu, and the sect has also attached itself to the Star Tower, I hope to let them stay in Mingdu and join the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy."

Ning Yunyun frowned slightly, a troubled expression appearing on her face. She hesitated and said, "However, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School originated from the Three Kingdoms period of Douluo Continent, and its identity is sensitive—I wonder if the Tower Master could do me a favor?"

"I thought it was something serious, it was just a quick thing." Ye Chenxing waved his hand dismissively. "Perfect, I'm also a student at the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy. When school starts, I'll just take them in to register."

"You're a student too?!"

Now it was Ning Yunyun's turn to be stunned. She couldn't help but look Ye Chenxing up and down.

The tower master in front of him was calm and composed, clearly a young man of sixteen or seventeen, but upon closer inspection, his handsome face still carried a hint of youthful immaturity.

After a brief moment of surprise, she swallowed hard and tentatively asked, "Excuse me, Master, how old are you this year?"

"Almost thirteen."

Ning Yunyun's eye twitched slightly, and she felt a momentary blankness in her mind.

After a long while, she finally managed to find her voice and stammered out a few words from her red lips: "That—that tower master, is truly a young man of great talent—"
