Chapter 271 The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's Surprise (Part 1)

"Wait a minute," Ning Fengzhi interrupted Ning Rongrong. "That master is indeed a remarkable person. Under his tutelage, it's quite normal for your soul power to increase by three or four levels in a year. I admire his special training for you. But according to you, two months ago you were still at level thirty-one, but two months later you've already reached level thirty-seven. How did that happen?"

Ning Rongrong smiled mysteriously and said, "Actually, half a month ago, I was still at level thirty-one. The next six levels were raised in almost a single day."

"Rongrong, don't scare your grandpa." The withered old man couldn't help but widen his eyes. He knew that the faster that kind of evil cultivation method advanced, the more it consumed his life force. Advancing six levels in a day would probably take decades of life force to achieve.

Ning Rongrong chuckled and said, "What are you all doing? I was going to give you a surprise, but it turned into a panic. Actually, it's nothing. I just ate some special herb, which is why I've increased my strength so much."

"Herbal herbs?" Ning Fengzhi asked anxiously, "What herbal herbs?"

Ning Rongrong said, "My third brother said it's called something like 'Qiluo Tulip,' and it's a rare and precious celestial product."

Two figures he had just seen suddenly flashed into Ning Fengzhi's mind. Could it be them?

"Kiraku Tulip? Uncle Sword, Uncle Bone, have you heard of this herb?"

The two old men shook their heads simultaneously, their faces blank. The withered old man said, "Perhaps only that old poisoner, Dugu Bo, knows. No, Feng Zhi, we must quickly check Rongrong's physical condition. If her soul power enhancement came at the cost of her life force, we must find a way to help her immediately."

"Grandpa Bone, I already told you not to be nervous. My third brother said that those herbs are celestial treasures that have absorbed the essence of heaven and earth, and they have the effect of strengthening the body and nourishing the vital energy. Not only will they not harm the body, but they will also strengthen the foundation. Alright, I won't hide it anymore, I'll show you the real surprise. After seeing this, you won't have any more doubts."

As she spoke, Ning Rongrong slowly raised her right hand, and dazzling seven-colored light began to gather in her palm.

Looking at the light gathering in his daughter's palm, Ning Fengzhi suddenly felt something was strange, but he couldn't quite put his finger on why.

A dazzling pagoda appeared in Ning Rongrong's right hand amidst the swirling of three spirit rings—two yellow and one purple—its brilliance instantly making the hall even brighter.

Before Ning Fengzhi could get a good look, the white-robed elder beside him exclaimed in surprise, "A nine-tiered, nine-colored, nine-treasure glazed pagoda?"

"What?" Ning Fengzhi was shocked. He finally realized what he found strange. It was the color of Ning Rongrong's palm when she released her martial soul. Unlike the original seven colors, two more colors appeared, making it nine colors. And wasn't the pagoda in her palm nine layers?

As the strongest support-type martial soul, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has always had a secret, and this secret lies in their martial soul.

Heaven is fair; the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul is so terrifying on the battlefield that it also has its flaws.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is called "Seven Treasures" not only because it has seven levels, but more importantly, because this martial soul can only hold seven spirit rings, two fewer than any other martial soul. This is also a major reason why Ning Fengzhi, as the sect leader, is still only at level 79 in spirit power and cannot break through to the next level.

In the legends of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, under special circumstances, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda can evolve into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. This not only strengthens the Soul Master's foundation but also grants them greater power. Once a Soul Master possessing the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda reaches the level of a Nine-Ring Title Douluo, they can obtain the title of God of Support, possessing the power to turn the tide of battle on any battlefield.

At this moment, Ning Fengzhi no longer needed to worry about his daughter. The appearance of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda proved that Ning Rongrong's vitality had not only not diminished, but had increased significantly, and her foundation had become incredibly stable. At this moment, the sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was completely shocked. He never imagined that his lifelong dream had been realized through his daughter. Happiness came too suddenly, leaving him completely stunned.

Ning Fengzhi wasn't the only one excited; the two elders were also extremely excited. Looking at the pagoda in Ning Rongrong's palm, they didn't know what to say for a moment.

The precious light faded, and Ning Rongrong withdrew her martial spirit. "Now you should believe what I said, right? How could Third Brother harm me? Not only me, but everyone of us received a celestial herb, and everyone's soul power has increased significantly. Boss Dai has even broken through level forty, and he's only sixteen years old!"

"The Qiluo Tulip, the Qiluo Tulip. What kind of treasure is that? It can actually help my daughter upgrade her Seven Treasures to Nine Treasures. Such a herb truly deserves the title of a celestial treasure."

"Dad, didn't you say you were going to give me a present? Hurry up and take it out!" Ning Rongrong stretched out her hand and waved it in front of Ning Fengzhi.

Ning Fengzhi reached into his robes and handed Ning Rongrong the Hidden Arrow and Silent Sleeve Arrow he had just acquired at the auction that day. "I bought these at the auction today. Although these two weapons aren't very powerful, they can still provide some protection. Hey, Rongrong, why are you looking at Daddy like that?"

"A veiled attack, a silent dart, Dad, how do you know Third Brother's hidden weapon?" How could Ning Rongrong not recognize Tang San's signature hidden weapon?

"Did your third brother make this?" Ning Fengzhi thought to himself, "Just as I thought." Was that seemingly ordinary young man really such a genius?

Ning Rongrong rolled up her sleeves, revealing a silent hidden arrow on her left wrist. "Look, aren't these the same? These two are the most common ones. I have several more powerful ones. I came back this time because I missed you all, and also because I wanted to ask my father if these hidden weapons could be fitted to our family's direct descendants. If used properly, they can be very powerful."

Ning Fengzhi took a slight breath, a serious look in his eyes. "I really want to know, just what kind of genius is your third brother?"

The old man in white agreed wholeheartedly, saying, "If he is truly that outstanding, perhaps he could be a suitable candidate for our granddaughter's husband."

Ning Rongrong blushed. "Grandpa Jian, don't talk nonsense. Third Brother already has someone he loves. How could I possibly be with him? I..." At this moment, even Ning Rongrong herself was somewhat surprised that Oscar's handsome face, which even women would envy, appeared in her mind. Although he wasn't as fierce as Dai Mubai, nor as well-rounded as Tang San, whenever Ning Rongrong thought of the scene when Oscar pounced on her when facing the Titan Giant Ape, her heart couldn't help but flutter. However, the family rules were something even she dared not easily violate.

"Come on, let's go outside. Show me the 'hidden weapons' you brought back."

"OK!"

The four entered the courtyard. Ning Fengzhi ordered that no one was allowed to enter without his permission before turning to his daughter and asking, "Rongrong, how do you want to try?"

Ning Rongrong thought for a moment, then her gaze fell on her two grandfathers with ill intent. "Grandpa Jian, why don't we give it a try? You're so powerful, how could we possibly hurt you?"

The old man in white smiled slightly and said, "That's not necessarily true. Your old sword grandfather's bones are not as strong as your bone grandfather's."

The withered old man curled his lip in disdain. "You coward, then I'll do it."

The old man in white glared at him. "I just praised you, and you're getting all worked up. Go away, I'll keep our little princess company. Girl, go ahead and use those hidden weapons, Grandpa will defend."

Ning Rongrong chuckled and said, "Okay!" With a flick of her wrist, the soul guide bracelet on her wrist flashed slightly, and the foot-long Zhuge Divine Crossbow fell into her palm.

She naturally didn't need to consider whether she would harm the white-robed elder before her. These two elders were the pillars of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, its guardian deities. The white-robed elder's title was Sword, and his name was Chen Xin. He was known as the strongest attacking Title Douluo, with a soul power level of 96. The withered elder's title was Bone, and his name was Gu Rong. He was known for his unpredictable and difficult-to-deal-with abilities. His soul power level was 95, making him one of the two strongest in the world. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's consistent ranking among the top seven families was certainly related to its super support martial soul, but it was absolutely inseparable from the support of these two Title Douluos.

The Spirit Hall described the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School as follows: When sword and bone clashed, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School Master appeared, he would radiate an invincible light.
