Douluo Continent: This Tang San is different

Chapter 138 Ning Fengzhi's View on Tang San

"Rongrong, it seems you've made a good friend."

At this moment, a magnetic voice rang out. Ning Fengzhi walked over with Sword Douluo and looked at Tang San, "May I ask your name, young brother, and where you are from?"

Ning Fengzhi naturally wanted to get to the bottom of the matter regarding the young man who had suddenly become so friendly with his beloved daughter, lest he be deceived.

"Sect Leader Ning, hello. My name is Tang San."

"Tang San?"

Ning Fengzhi was stunned for a moment. When he saw Ning Rongrong wink at him, he immediately realized that he had won the lottery.

Ever since Tang San's theory emerged, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has been searching for Tang San's whereabouts, and has even deployed a lot of people to investigate in the Soul Arena in major cities.

Unfortunately, while many people named "Tang San" were found, they were either weak or completely ignorant of martial spirit theory.

Therefore, Ning Fengzhi placed the greatest possibility of "Tang San" on the Tang San that Ning Rongrong had met, and arranged for Ning Rongrong to come to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Even if she guessed wrong, Ning Rongrong could temper her temper by staying at the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy for a while, since it was full of royal relatives and young ladies and gentlemen.

Given Rongrong's personality, she won't go astray.

"A young talent indeed, truly extraordinary." Ning Fengzhi sized up Tang San, noticing his upright appearance and the fact that he showed no fear in front of him, the sect leader, and couldn't help but praise him.

"Sect Master Ning, you flatter me. I am just an ordinary Soul Master, only good at observation and summarizing," Tang San said modestly.

"Haha, I was presumptuous." Ning Fengzhi realized that Tang San's identity as a "Soul Master" had not been completely exposed to the Heaven Dou Royal Family, otherwise he would not be talking to him here, but meeting him in the Heaven Dou Royal Palace.

However, now that we have met Tang San, there will be plenty of opportunities to get to know him in the future, so there is no need to rush.

Thinking of this, Ning Fengzhi asked Ning Rongrong to stay and chat with Tang San and the others a little longer, while he and Sword Douluo left first...

···

"Uncle Sword, what do you think of Tang San?" On the way back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Ning Fengzhi asked Sword Douluo for his opinion on Tang San.

"On the surface, he doesn't seem to be comfortable interacting with nobles. He's probably the kind of person who's engrossed in research. But Ning Rongrong seemed to have a good time chatting with him before, so he probably has his own little sense of humor. Or maybe he has a very approachable quality, full of vitality that makes people want to get closer to him." Sword Douluo thought for a while and then shared his opinion. "Moreover, his soul power is extremely well-controlled. Even I find it hard to detect."

Ning Fengzhi had already grasped the points Sword Douluo had made, and then asked, "Uncle Sword, what level of strength do you think he has reached?"

"Close to the Soul Sect, or even possibly the Soul Sect itself," Sword Douluo said. "The Soul Sect is more likely."

"Oh? Why?"

"I can see that he actually yearns for freedom and doesn't want to be bound, but due to practical reasons, he has to compromise to some extent. But such a person is proud, so he must have reached a certain level of strength. A Soul Master is already a mid-level Soul Master." The more Sword Douluo analyzed, the more certain he became of his guess, and the more shocked he became. "A twelve-year-old Soul Master, no wonder he's a master of Martial Soul theory. He started researching at six or seven years old, he's simply a prodigy!"

"Who was the last Martial Soul Master?"

"The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family has made a huge joke."

Ning Fengzhi did not speak so directly to Yu Xiaogang as Sword Douluo did, even though it was just the two of them at the moment.

After all, he has high moral character, even if it's just on the surface. As long as he keeps up this facade for a lifetime, no one can say anything bad about him.

Secondly, although Yu Xiaogang is unsavory, he does have some talent. He has an ambiguous relationship with the current pope and almost married his cousin... In a way, he is quite an oddball.

More importantly, Yu Xiaogang has memorized most of the information on the spirit beasts in the Spirit Hall. Based on this alone, he can be called a living "Encyclopedia of Spirit Beasts".

Of course, that's all.

This is Ning Fengzhi's view on Yu Xiaogang. In the original work, Ning Fengzhi said that "whoever obtains the master will obtain the world," which actually means that whoever obtains Tang San will obtain the world.

In the original novel, Ning Fengzhi likely realized that Tang San was accustomed to freedom but also blindly loyal, deeply trusting of Yu Xiaogang. Therefore, in order to help the Heaven Dou Empire win over Tang San, he chose to start with Yu Xiaogang. Later, in the original novel, after being enfeoffed as the Blue King, Tang San also developed some ambitions regarding power…

Let's leave that aside for now.

For those in positions of power, as long as it benefits them, even a useless person can be portrayed as a prodigy whose talents are not recognized.

Everything is for profit!

Now, Ning Fengzhi is thinking about how to win over Tang San.

"Uncle Jian, do you think that if Rongrong spends more time with Tang San, she might fall in love with him?" Ning Fengzhi asked.

"It's very likely." Sword Douluo was silent for a moment, then sighed. "Back in the sect, Rongrong collected every issue of the Martial Soul Bulletin and memorized Tang San's theories perfectly. Although it might have been to tease Mu Tian, ​​it's enough to prove that Tang San left a very good impression on Rongrong during their time together."

"But... isn't this a bit unfair to Mu Tian?"

"Rongrong and she can be considered childhood sweethearts."

Childhood sweethearts?

All I can say is that we grew up in the same place.

"Not really. Rongrong doesn't like Mutian at all. Besides, how could our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School have wronged Mutian? We've provided him with all sorts of cultivation resources and living supplies. You could say that even if he went to the Spirit Hall, he wouldn't get so many supplies. We even gave him whale gelatin to take. We've treated him very well."

Ning Fengzhi said in a deep voice, "If he feels that we have wronged him or even betrayed the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School because Rongrong doesn't like him and we don't try to match them up, then we should just say that we misjudged him."

"He's too arrogant. He thinks he's born with full soul power, so we can spoil him."

"When absorbing the second spirit ring, he even told Uncle Bone that he wanted a ten-thousand-year spirit ring directly, but he almost failed to absorb even a sixteen-hundred-year spirit ring."

"Also, I gave him a chance to come to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy with Rongrong this time, but he refused and insisted on going to Shrek Academy instead."

Ning Fengzhi was also aware of Shrek Academy, a "rural academy" without formal teaching qualifications, whose only noteworthy achievements were a few Soul Saints and Soul Emperors.

As for Shrek Academy's teaching methods, Ning Fengzhi didn't specifically look into them and didn't know much about them. But over the years, only Qin Ming was worth mentioning. As for the other students, he didn't know whether they had graduated or gone somewhere else; in any case, they had completely disappeared.

"Shrek Academy, that academy doesn't even have proper dormitories, but that Flander is quite capable. He has a small connection with the local Spirit Hall Master and can lure a large number of students there every year. Maybe Mu Tian can actually find some exceptionally talented commoner children." Sword Douluo looked thoughtful.

Flander must have had some connection with the Spirit Hall in Soto City, otherwise, with all that publicity, it's impossible that no one would care.

As for why the local Spirit Hall didn't report it.

Aside from the possibility that Bibi Dong knew but didn't care, or that it was to cause internal strife within Xingluo, the rest can be summed up in one sentence: "The emperor is far away, and there are plenty of cases where subordinates outwardly comply but inwardly defy him."
