Douluo V: Starting with daily check-ins, I'm trying to trick Xiao Wu into becoming my wife.

Ao Yin felt a wave of helplessness and was just about to find a way to politely decline this special marriage proposal.

But at that very moment, the quiet atmosphere in the back garden suddenly changed drastically.

Two extremely terrifying forces suddenly erupted without warning!

On one side is the dark and mysterious spatial aura of Bone Douluo, which suppresses all directions; on the other side is the peerless sword aura of Sword Douluo, which is fierce and peerless, and can pierce through heaven and earth!

Two titled-level auras precisely locked onto the entire area, harmless yet incredibly intimidating, completely enveloping Ao Yin.

Two aged yet authoritative voices rang out, carrying a hint of teasing, but also concealing an undeniable force.

"Kid, you're really lucky!"

"Throughout the Douluo Continent, countless geniuses are vying for the position of son-in-law of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, a dream they could not have had more to offer."

"Now that the opportunity is right in front of you, you're hesitating and making excuses!"

Sword Douluo chuckled and shook his head, his tone carrying a hint of playful pressure: "Feng Zhi, it seems your patient persuasion hasn't been very effective. They simply don't think much of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!"

Ning Fengzhi was slightly startled upon hearing the voice, and immediately turned his head to look.

Before anyone knew it, Jian Chenxin and Gu Rong had quietly appeared, standing silently among the flowers and trees not far away.

The two moved with ethereal grace, concealing their presence throughout. If they hadn't deliberately revealed their auras at this moment, no one would have been able to detect their tracks.

When outsiders are present, the two retainers always strictly adhere to the rules and respectfully address him as the sect leader.

But today, they addressed him by his first name directly, without the slightest bit of politeness or restraint.

Ning Fengzhi instantly understood.

These two pillars of their sects have truly and completely acknowledged Ao Yin.

They already considered him one of their own, so there was no need to adhere to worldly rules and etiquette anymore.

Having figured this out, Ning Fengzhi no longer hesitated.

He raised his hand and flipped it over, revealing a translucent, radiant, seven-colored token engraved with the unique patterns of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, lying quietly in his palm.

Without any unnecessary preamble or a single wasted word, he raised his hand and tossed the token gently, which landed steadily in Ao Yin's hand with a soft glow.

His expression instantly shifted from gentle to serious and imposing: "Ao Yin, the sincerity of my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is evident. Even if you don't appreciate my favor as the sect leader, these two are titled Douluo standing at the very top of the continent."

"With two senior figures personally acting as matchmakers, if you still insist on refusing, then frankly, even I cannot protect you."

A chilling subtext lingered in the air; beneath the gentle words lay an unyielding strength.

Ao Yin's heart tightened suddenly, and he gasped, a chill instantly spreading across his back.

He instantly understood Ning Fengzhi's unspoken meaning.

Title Douluo are always extremely stubborn. They will do everything they can to win over the juniors they have their eyes on. If they are repeatedly rejected, they are very likely to displease the juniors.

He knew all too well the ruthless nature of top experts who would leave no hidden danger if they couldn't have something.

Upon thinking of this, Ao Yin felt a chill run down his spine.

He lowered his head and caressed the smooth and translucent Seven Treasures Glazed Token in his palm. The touch was delicate, the light flowed, and an aura of nobility emanated from it.

Ning Rongrong's charming and lively appearance and voluptuous figure unconsciously flashed through his mind again.

After careful consideration, no matter how you look at it, agreeing to it would be a win-win situation for me.

Seeing this, Ning Fengzhi immediately pressed his advantage and continued to press his advantage, saying, "This Seven Treasures Glazed Token in your hand is my personal token."

"This has never been granted to any...outsider before."

"With this token, you are the highest-ranking guest of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. You may freely enter and spend money on all properties, shops, and buildings belonging to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School throughout the entire continent, without any limits, all paid for by the sect!"

Ao Yin was slightly lost in thought, and sighed inwardly.

Ning Fengzhi truly deserves to be called a top sect leader who dominates the continent.

Although he was bound by his martial soul and stuck at the level of Soul Saint for life, his combat strength was not among the top among the top experts. However, his skills in manipulating people's hearts and recruiting talents were already superb.

First, he had two titled Douluo step forward to exert pressure, playing the bad cop and intimidating him with their absolute strength.

Then he would personally offer out the greatest benefits, playing the role of the benefactor.

He skillfully employed the tactics of combining severity and kindness, firmness and gentleness, using both slaps and sweet treats with unparalleled mastery.

An ordinary teenager would probably have been completely under their control by this tactic, filled with gratitude and pledging allegiance.

However, having experienced three lifetimes, Ao Yin had become extremely adept at understanding human relationships, power struggles, and scheming.

He saw through all the tricks at a glance, but he didn't point them out; he knew exactly what he was doing.

He laughed heartily, no longer dwelling on it, and said frankly, "Never mind."

"Since the sect leader and the two seniors have treated me with such sincerity and kindness, it would be disrespectful of me to refuse again."

"I gladly accept your kindness. However..."

He left his words unsaid, wanting to subtly hint at his existing feelings for someone.

Ning Fengzhi immediately raised his hand to interrupt, a knowing smile in his eyes, and calmly replied.

"There are no 'buts'."

"We all know about your past relationships, and we've never cared."

"We don't ask for much, we just want you to give Rongrong a fair chance to compete, that's all."

"When it comes to matters of the heart, let nature take its course. Even if you already have a beautiful woman by your side, and you choose to marry her in the future, my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will have no objection!"

These words completely shut down any room for excuses.

Jian Chenxin and Gu Rong, who were standing to the side, nodded in agreement, their tone full of certainty, strongly supporting him.

"That's right! Those who achieve great things don't concern themselves with trifles!"

"My Rongrong is exceptionally talented, kind-hearted, and possesses top-notch looks and temperament. We don't believe she can't compete with others!"

"Feng Zhi has already made his bottom line clear: even if you take multiple wives, we will agree. This concession is already the ultimate expression of our sincerity, so you don't need to worry any further!"

Ao Yin was completely taken aback, and couldn't help but tentatively ask in his heart, "So... do I still have a choice?"

The moment those words were spoken, Gu Rong's brows furrowed, a dark, menacing aura surging around him. His tone was firm and unyielding: "No! Absolutely impossible!"

Ning Fengzhi maintained his gentle smile, but his gaze remained resolute, showing no sign of wavering: "I cannot refuse."

Sword Douluo's eyes narrowed, and the sword at his waist emitted a faint hum, its sharpness fully revealed. He declared, "Boy, if you dare to refuse even a fraction more, today I will use your blood to consecrate my Seven Kill Sword!"

Instantly, Ao Yin felt his scalp tingle and his hair stand on end.

The three most powerful and influential figures in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School have now completely united.

Their determination to win him over was so strong that they gave him absolutely no chance to resist.

Only now did he truly understand the confidence of the most powerful family in mainland China.

Even the marriage of their own precious daughter can be handled in such a domineering and unreasonable manner.

Ning Rongrong is indeed the beloved little princess of the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Left with no other choice, Ao Yin could only nod in agreement, his tone sincere: "Since the three seniors are so kind to grant my request, I will not refuse any longer."

"Rongrong is a wonderful girl. I will treat her well and take good care of her in the long years to come."

Hearing this reply, Ning Fengzhi finally felt completely relieved and turned to look at the two retainers with a gentle smile.

"Uncle Jian, Uncle Gu, the children are still young, and their relationships and feelings need time to develop."

"There's no need to rush. Let them take their time and get to know each other gradually."

Ao Yin secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, the other party did not press the issue further or force a marriage agreement, leaving room for maneuver.

Ning Fengzhi's gaze returned to Ao Yin, his tone casual and relaxed: "It's a rare privilege for you to come from afar and step into the gates of my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."

"Over the next few days, Rongrong will take you around to see the sights of the sect."

"By the way, you can also discuss all the details of the cooperation on concealed weapons."

Ao Yin secretly called him an old fox.

At this moment, he finally understood the other party's intentions.

The so-called cooperation involving concealed weapons has long since become a trivial matter.

He spared no effort in deploying two Title Douluo to exert pressure, exceptionally gifted a Supreme Token, infinitely tolerated his past, and even tacitly allowed him to have two wives.

All of this was done to completely win him over!

Ning Fengzhi understood everything perfectly.

Blueprints, hidden weapons, and techniques are ultimately inanimate objects.

Only Ao Yin himself is a unique and irreplaceable top-tier resource!

With his extraordinary talent, overwhelming combat power, and unique self-created inheritance, his future potential is limitless.

As long as this person is kept, the sect can reap endless opportunities; mere hidden weapons are not worth mentioning at all.

Ao Yin understood perfectly, and it was exactly what he wanted.

His high-profile display of strength and reveal of his trump cards was aimed at gaining the attention of top-tier forces.

Only by proving their own value can they earn the highest level of respect and preferential treatment in resources.

He smiled faintly and said calmly, "I will always remember the Sect Master's kindness."

"However, Rongrong and I have a tight schedule after our training trip. We will be going to the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy for exchange and learning, so our stay is limited."

"For cooperation on concealed weapons, we can start with the simplest and most suitable for mass production: the Zhuge Crossbow."

"good!"

Ning Fengzhi, Jian Chenxin, and Gu Rong's eyes lit up simultaneously, their interest piqued, and they asked in unison, "This thing is called the Zhuge Divine Crossbow?"

Seeing the three people's curious expressions, Ao Yin smiled confidently and slowly explained in detail.

"The Zhuge Divine Crossbow is a unique mechanical concealed weapon created by my Ao Clan."

At this point, he paused deliberately for a moment, his tone extremely confident: "You may not have heard of the Ao family."

"It's because the Ao Clan has not yet been officially established and spread throughout the Douluo Continent. To this day, I am the only one in the Ao Clan, and I am the sole founder of the Ao Clan's hidden weapon lineage."

One person, a school of his own!

Create your own lineage, establish your own sect!

This short sentence reveals an astonishing confidence and unparalleled spirit.

Ning Fengzhi and the other two were slightly shocked, their eyes widening in admiration as they looked at Ao Yin with increasing confidence.

Sure enough, the young men they had their eye on were always extraordinary!

Ao Yin continued his calm explanation, elaborating on the core advantages of the Zhuge Divine Crossbow:

"The greatest advantage of the Zhuge Divine Crossbow is that it does not require any soul power to activate."

"Ordinary Soul Masters' hidden weapons and offensive and defensive techniques all require the support of Soul Power, but this thing is driven purely by a precise mechanism."

"Even an ordinary person without any soul power can unleash extremely strong killing power when wielding the Zhuge Divine Crossbow."

You can kill enemies without using soul power!

This setting completely overturned the three people's understanding of things that they had for many years!

Even the Sword Douluo, who had lived for hundreds of years and seen countless wonders across the continent, couldn't help but show surprise and blurted out, "Such a peculiar weapon exists in this world?"

Ao Yin, unhurried and meticulous, dissected the details: "Naturally true."

"The Zhuge Divine Crossbow bolts are eight inches long and have an extremely ingenious construction. The latter four inches are a regular cylindrical shape, which allows for a stable fit into the groove and precise firing."

"The first four inches were condensed into a sharp cone, and the very front three inches were carved with twelve fine blood grooves."

"The blade is extremely sharp, with strong penetrating power and a very long range. Once it hits, the bleeding will not stop and it is extremely difficult to heal."

"Among all mechanical concealed weapons, the Zhuge Divine Crossbow is the most cost-effective, lethal, and mass-producible."

"If this item is deployed in large quantities, even if the Spirit Hall launches a strong attack and encirclement, it can protect the foundation of the sect and resist the attack of a powerful enemy with the firepower of a massive number of hidden weapons."

The mere mention of the Spirit Hall sent a jolt through Ning Fengzhi's heart.

Even a simple metaphor was enough to stir his heart.

That was a colossal, top-tier entity weighing heavily on the minds of all three upper sects!

A hidden weapon that requires no soul power, can be equipped by all the people, and is enough to withstand the offensive of the Spirit Hall is of immeasurable value!

With just a basic hidden weapon, the three of them had already glimpsed the infinite potential of the Ao Clan's future.

Although Ao Men is now alone and weak, no one dares to underestimate him.

Given time, once the Ao Clan flourishes, it will surely stand at the pinnacle of the continent, becoming an unparalleled sect that rivals the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and even surpasses all other top-tier forces!

At this moment, the three of them were even more certain that winning over Ao Yin at all costs was the most correct and wisest choice they could make!
