Douluo: The Glory of the Peerless Angel

Chapter 80 Nine Treasures Transformed into Glazed Glass, the Body Sect Enters the Door (Part 2)

The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, formerly the second-largest sect in the world, is characterized by...

trench!

Inhumanly extravagant!

Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy's Mingde Hall and Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School's World Warehouse are known as the two super treasure lands in the Douluo Continent, richer than any country!

The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School is located within the territory of the Heavenly Soul Empire. The sect rebuilt a city called Nine Treasure City on the site of the Seven Treasures City, which was destroyed by the Spirit Hall ten thousand years ago. It is adjacent to the Heavenly Soul Empire's capital, Heaven Dou City.

The area around Jiubao City alone resembles a crystal-clear paradise, with exotic flowers and rare herbs everywhere. Under the bright morning sunlight, they reflect nine colors of light, and the calming and soothing fragrance permeates the air, making people intoxicated and unable to extricate themselves.

Looking out over Jiubao City, the magnificent and exquisite white jade palaces nestled within the city walls exude a rosy glow and a misty atmosphere, resembling a fairyland.

Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, Council Hall.

The white jade floor shimmered with a warm glow, and on the surrounding jade walls, dragons soared into the clouds and phoenixes spread their wings and took flight. At this moment, in the majestic and beautiful council hall of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, a graceful figure sat on the throne symbolizing the sect leader's status, and her clear and cold voice resounded throughout the hall.

"Fine...you guys are really good! How many batches of rare metals have gone missing this year? We've repeatedly told you to send people to guard them closely, and then what? Now, I want an explanation!"

The crowd below the stage shivered. They were high-ranking members of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, and their cultivation had at least broken through to the Soul Saint level. However, they were still trembling with fear and trepidation when facing the sect leader, a support-type cultivator.

A red-haired Soul Douluo, radiating a fiery aura, bravely stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Sect...Sect Master, it's not that we've failed in our duties, but those bandits are far too powerful. I suspect they might be from...The Body Sect!"

"It's the Body Sect again."

The woman's eyebrows furrowed, and her jade-like hands tapped the armrest beside the throne, the clear sound echoing in the silent hall.

The Body Sect and the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect are both located in the Heavenly Soul Empire and have always been rivals. A hundred years ago, the two heroes of the Body Sect wreaked havoc on the continent. Zhou Jiren, the Jianmu Douluo, the sect protector of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, stepped forward and fought against Du Busi, the younger brother of one of the heroes. This indirectly led to the Dragon God Douluo Mu En severely injuring and killing the current Body Sect Master, Du Busi.

From then on, the Body Sect and the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect completely broke off relations, and there were many clashes, both openly and secretly, with the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect winning more often than it lost.

After a moment of contemplation, the sect leader slowly spoke:

"The Sun Moon Empire is ambitious and will surely restart the continental war within twenty years. Those rare metals were smuggled by Feng Yu and his direct disciples from the sect to the Sun Moon Empire. They risked their lives to use the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul Talent to pan for gold in the sand and smuggle them at a low price. They are related to our development for many years to come."

"Wu Yan, I've instructed Xie Qin to allocate half of your secret guards to you. Make sure you protect every batch of rare metals!"

"Your subordinate will certainly not fail the trust placed in you by the sect leader!"

Red-haired Contra Warrior Wu Yan clasped his hands in acceptance of the order.

"Next thing," the sect leader rubbed his throbbing temples, "the Heavenly Soul Empire's royal family recently canceled some of their long-standing collaborations with the sect and instead contacted the Body Sect..."

"Squeak—"

The white jade gate was suddenly pushed open from the outside, and the sect leader, who was in an extremely irritable mood, subconsciously shouted angrily:

"I was discussing important sect matters with the elders, who's so ignorant of the rules..."

The moment the sect leader saw the newcomers, he stopped speaking abruptly, his gaze fixed on the man and two women who were walking slowly towards him.

The woman in the white dress on the left has a slender and graceful figure, with long platinum blonde hair that falls to her waist. Her eyes are as blue as lake water, and her features are extremely delicate, as if they were carefully carved from jade. There are no flaws, and her beauty is just right, without a trace of demonic or seductive charm.

The woman on the right has red hair and red eyes, and is dressed in a tight red outfit. Her bright looks and hot figure complement each other, showing a unique temperament, like a wild horse on the grassland, yet with a touch of feminine gentleness in her bones. Men who see her can't help but want to stick their eyes to her.

The two women were so outstanding, but the man in the middle was even more extraordinary. He was handsome and dashing, with a spirited demeanor. He appeared gentle and refined, yet his every move naturally revealed a calm and composed air of someone who felt he had the whole world at his fingertips.

All three are outstanding individuals!

"Mother/Sect Leader, we're back."

Sunlight streamed through the cracks in the palace doors, illuminating the three figures. Gazing at the exquisitely beautiful figure radiating nobility, they uttered their first words as travelers returned home.

His rosy lips curved into a perfect smile, a smile rarely seen in recent years, but he then launched into a merciless taunt:

"You spent seven days walking a three-day journey, had a blast outside, and are finally ready to go home?"

The three smiled but didn't speak, because they had indeed traveled around the area. Gazing at the stunningly beautiful face on the throne that they had missed so much, the two women's eyes gradually became red.

Ning Fengya, the sect leader of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile School.

She is beautiful, beautiful to the core.

Ning Tian and Wu Feng were already considered stunning beauties in Shrek Academy's outer courtyard, making boys drool with envy. However, compared to Ning Fengya, they clearly lacked a certain elegance and grace refined by time. That was a woman's气质 (qi zhi, a kind of refined elegance or poise) carefully crafted by combining beauty, experience, and confidence with rich knowledge, seasoned with time.

Time cannot diminish beauty. Ling Bai admitted that the reason she agreed to return to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School with Ning Fengya was partly because she was too beautiful, in addition to wanting to find a backer when she was young after transmigrating.

Seeing this, the high-ranking members of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School exchanged glances. The seasoned veterans instantly understood and quietly moved step by step toward the door. They also pulled Wu Yan, who was staring at his daughter Wu Feng with tears streaming down her face, away, leaving the council hall to Ning Fengya and the three future stars of the sect.

One step, two steps, three steps...

at last!

The executives walked out the door!

Hehe, the sect leader didn't scold me today!

Happy!

After gazing at the three of them for a long while, Ning Fengya nodded slightly, saying with a mixture of relief and pity, "Not bad, you've grown up."

Upon hearing this, both Ning Tian and Wu Feng felt an urge to burst into tears. These pampered young ladies, cherished since childhood, left home to come to Shrek Academy, a place teeming with geniuses. Initially full of ambition and ready to make their mark, they gradually discovered just how vast the world was, how many monsters there were. Having experienced the pain of defeat, they rose again and continued their journey. Now, their pretty faces held a touch of determination and composure; they were no longer the innocent, naive girls they once were.

"Although Shrek Academy's teaching methods are old-fashioned and conservative, there is one reason why sects have been going there for thousands of years: it has a large number of geniuses," Ning Fengya said. "Pressure can give you motivation, wash away the arrogance of a major sect, and help you seek progress in a down-to-earth manner."

The Dark Guard reported that Xiao Bai skipped the outer academy's studies and directly entered the inner academy, breaking Shrek Academy's record as the youngest inner academy disciple. He was then selected as one of the Shrek Seven Devils through the Seven Devils Challenge and represented the academy in the next Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Battle Tournament.

You have brought glory to the sect, and the sect cannot treat you unfairly. Before the start of the semester, the secret techniques section of the Heavenly Warehouse will be open for you one more time, at which time you can freely choose a secret technique you like.

"Thank you, Sect Master."

"Call her Aunt Ya."

Ning Fengya was displeased and said angrily, "I've watched you grow up since you were a child. You should even call me mother."

"...Aunt Ya."

Ling Bai pretended not to hear the second half of the sentence.

"Young Master Ling doesn't want to call me 'Mom'?"

This little scheme couldn't escape the notice of a sect leader. Ning Fengya glanced at Ning Tian and Ling Bai, snorted, and laughed, "Never mind, it's only a matter of time."

A bead of sweat seemed to trickle down Ling Bai's forehead. Despite her young age, Ning Fengya's methods and determination far surpassed those of Yan Shaozhe, the dean of the Martial Soul Department. She knew how to remain calm and composed, and how to use various methods to highlight her advantages. Showing weakness and arousing men's protective instincts were second nature to her.

Ling Bai once secretly remarked that even if the sect leader remarried three times, it wouldn't be Du Weilun's turn. This wasn't out of contempt for him. Ning Fengya was young and carefree, and Du Weilun remembered her for twenty years, even taking extra care of her when Ning Tian entered school. The two were truly several levels apart. If Ning Fengya were the dean of the Martial Soul Department, people like Zhou Yi would probably have been disgraced and begging on the streets long ago.

Suddenly, Ling Bai felt the temperature beside him rise sharply. Well, Ning Fengya's hint was very successful; the paramecium witch wind broke down after understanding.

She glared at Ling Bai, communicating frantically with her eyes.

Wind: You dare answer?! I'll scratch you to death!

Bai: You only know how to bully me in my own backyard? If you're so capable, stop playing dead and confront the sect leader head-on.

Wind: No, do you really think I'm stupid?

White: 6.

Ling Bai and Wu Feng stared at each other for only three seconds, but it felt like they had been cursing each other with their faces for half a century.

"you……"

Ning Fengya had barely begun to speak when there was a gentle knock on the white jade door. Someone immediately asked, "What is it?"

"Sect Master, the Chief Elder of the Body Sect and his disciples have come to pay their respects."

The voices of Wu Feng's father, Wu Yan, the Red Dragon Soul Douluo, rang out from outside the door.

"The Chief Elder of the Body Sect..."

The peaceful atmosphere suddenly froze. Ning Fengya's face showed no outward emotion, but everyone knew that the Body Sect had come with ill intentions.

A rival sect that has been causing trouble for years has sent its chief elder, who is second only to the sect leader and two vice sect leaders, to visit. What good could this be?

Ning Fengya didn't believe it, Ling Bai and Ning Tian didn't believe it, and Wu Feng... didn't believe it either!

"Bring them to the council chamber."

After all, the two factions are still outwardly calm and far from the point of full-scale war, so Ning Fengya should treat them with courtesy.

The high-ranking members of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile School who had slipped out earlier filed in and lined up on both sides, quietly waiting for the arrival of the Body School.

"Hahaha, Sect Leader Ning, how have you been?"

Before the figure arrived, laughter preceded it. This booming laughter contained surging soul power. Ning Tian and Wu Feng couldn't help but show a pained expression on their faces upon hearing it. Wu Yan's body trembled as he broke through the laughter that concealed a murderous intent for them.

"I am well, Tiger Arm Douluo. Your cultivation seems to have improved again."

"A minor achievement, nothing to mention!"

A towering figure stepped into the hall. He was tall and ugly with a rough face. His short hair stood up like steel needles, and his arms were particularly thick, half a circle thicker than his thighs, which explained what it meant to have a horse that could run on your arms. Black and white tiger tattoos moved constantly on his arms, and his whole person exuded a fierce aura like a prehistoric beast.

Chen Hu, Chief Elder of the Body Sect, Level 96 Title Douluo, Tiger Arm Douluo!

Chen Hu was followed by three people. One of them was thin and small, but his head was unusually large, making him look like a bobblehead. The second person had a thick right arm, and compared to his right arm, his left arm looked like a miniature version. He seemed unbalanced when he walked.

The third person was the most special because he was the youngest, looking to be around twenty years old. His appearance was relatively normal among the members of the Body Sect, except that his knuckles protruded. He stood behind Tiger Arm Douluo without saying a word, his chin held high, and his eyes and brows exuded pride.

Ling Bai sized up the group. It was actually quite easy to identify members of the original sect; after all, they were deformed soul masters, and their martial souls couldn't hide anything. The Tiger-Armed Douluo had two arms, the two middle-aged men had heads and right arms respectively, and the young man had two palms.

"No one visits the Three Treasures Hall without a reason. Tiger-Armed Douluo, what brings you to my Nine Treasures Glazed Tile School?" Ning Fengya said calmly.

"Sect Leader Ning is straightforward and outspoken, just as I dislike beating around the bush."

Chen Hu forced an ugly smile onto his rough, dark face, pointed to the young man behind him, and said:

"My direct disciple, Chen Yu, is a nineteen-year-old Soul Emperor at level sixty-one, and has now completed the second awakening of his Bronze-level Body Martial Soul. I have heard that Sect Master Ning has a daughter, and on behalf of the Body Sect Master, I wish to establish a marriage alliance with the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School. From now on, the two schools will turn hostility into friendship and become as close as family!"

"What?!"

Ning Tian's face turned deathly pale; the Body Sect had come specifically for her.

"This must be Miss Ning."

Chen Yu saw Ning Tian, ​​who bore a striking resemblance to Ning Fengya, and scrutinized him from head to toe as if he were a merchandise, nodding and saying:

"She's a beauty, barely good enough for me."

Wu Feng, who had been silently reciting the Heart-Cleansing Mantra, finally exploded, exhaling two thick white streaks with each breath. Crimson dragon scales clung to the sides of his neck, and his eyes blazed with fury.

In her eyes, no one was worthy of Ning Tian. Ling Bai at least had a tiny bit of merit, so what was this Chen Yu?

"I'll kill you, you two... let me go!"

Ignoring the vast difference in their cultivation levels, Wu Feng immediately wanted to rush over and fight Chen Yu to the death, but suddenly found that her body weighed more than a thousand pounds. Two hands, one on each side, pressed down on her shoulders, and the rising red dragon flames subsided.

Ling Bai and Wu Yan.

"What do you mean?"

Wu Feng gritted his teeth: "You always call me stupid, but now that the Body Sect is openly mocking me, can't you see it? Ning Tiantang, the young sect master of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, is paired with a bronze-level Body Martial Soul, and he's still an arrogant piece of trash!"

"Shut up!"

Wu Yan angrily rebuked Wu Feng, saying that rushing forward would only embarrass the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, and swiftly sealed her soul power and mouth.

The high-ranking members of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School below the stage began to stir, and their soul power surged. However, Chen Hu remained calm and crossed his arms with a smug look on his face. The Body Sect has always been arrogant, otherwise it would not have been able to take on all the sects in the entire Douluo Continent with the strength of a single sect!

Ning Fengya's gaze darkened slightly, his tone revealing neither joy nor sorrow: "My daughter is still young, and I have allowed her to make her own decision about marriage, choosing the person she loves. Tiger Arm Douluo, please leave."

"That won't do."

Chen Hu shook his head, chuckled as he looked at the stunning figure on the throne, and said, "The sect leader has given a strict order that the Body Sect and the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect must become related by marriage today. She's young, but Sect Leader Ning, you're not so young after all..."

Sect Leader Ning, widowed in your prime, still retains your charm, while I have never married. How about you remarry me, with the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School as your dowry, and our two sects unite as one?"
