Douluo: The Glory of the Peerless Angel

Chapter 83 Ling Bai's Background, Secret Technique Fusion Ring (4K)

Dragon God Douluo Mu En was old and seriously injured, on the verge of death. His eyes were usually filled with a layer of mist, hazy and lacking in spirit. But now that mist had cleared, his eyes were shining with a dazzling crimson gold, inspiring awe in all who beheld them.

Opposite him, Jianmu Douluo Zhou Jiren also suppressed his smile, his expression resembling a frosted mirror. The two top-tier titled Douluos faced off, causing the atmosphere in the entire room to become somewhat subdued.

"Ji Ren, one cannot be a father-in-law without being deaf and dumb, but there are some things I cannot ignore. Please give me an answer."

For a good ten seconds afterward, that chill clung to Jianmu Douluo's face, peeling away bit by bit, until his expression remained blank as he slowly spoke to Elder Mu:

"Xiao Bai... was an abandoned baby in Jialing City. Eleven years ago, Feng Ya took Ying Long to pay respects to the Sword and Bone Twin Douluo who sacrificed their lives for the peace of the continent, and happened to find him when he was less than a year old."

"Jialing City..."

The tense atmosphere eased, and Elder Mu suddenly realized that Jialing City, also known as Jialing Pass, was the site of the ancient battle between two gods ten thousand years ago, and also the place where the angel's divine position was shattered. He vaguely guessed why Ling Bai was able to possess a six-winged angel.

Before Xiaobai awakened his martial soul at the age of six, no one in the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School dared to imagine that he was the heir of the Six-Winged Angel, but the facts were right in front of them and could not be faked.

At that time, Fengya awakened Xiaobai's martial soul on her own. Afterwards, she immediately told me about the six-winged angels descending on the continent again. We discussed and speculated several times, and believed that the reason why Xiaobai awakened the six-winged angels was probably because she accidentally absorbed the power of the angel god scattered in Jialing Pass when she was born.

That angelic holy sword was indeed no ordinary object; it should be a divine weapon of the angel god, only weakened considerably after losing the blessing of his divine position…

Jianmu Douluo knew what Elder Mu was worried about: Ling Bai's cultivation progress was too fast, and he was a six-winged angel who should not theoretically exist in Douluo Continent. Elder Mu was afraid that there was something wrong with Ling Bai's identity... such as being the reincarnation of the Angel God!

In fact, Jianmu Douluo knew perfectly well that the reincarnation of the Angel God was pure nonsense, because Ling Bai had a second martial soul, the Death Prison Spider Emperor!

What he just told Moon was the truth, but he concealed a part of the truth: Ling Bai not only absorbed the shattered angelic divine position, but also the power of that fallen Rakshasa god!

"Everything makes sense now..."

Old Master Mu nodded slightly. It turned out that Ling Bai was an unprecedentedly lucky person, as if a pie had fallen from the sky and been fed directly into his mouth.

"My old friend, please don't blame me. In order to protect Shrek Academy, I must be careful," Elder Mu said apologetically.

"I understand..."

Jianmu Douluo narrowed his eyes and drawled, "Mu En, you should pay some price for knowing the sect's secrets. Besides, there's an entrance fee to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School."

Old Mu blinked. "You want tickets?"

This is blatant extortion, isn't it?

What do you want?

Seeing that Elder Mu had admitted defeat, Jianmu Douluo revealed his true intentions and chuckled, "Little Bai previously praised Shrek Academy's Golden Tree highly, so give me some of the Golden Tree's luminous energy."

"How much exactly?"

"Not many, just 100,000 years."

"Ten thousand years?"

Old Mu's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets, and he almost straightened his back in anger, roaring:

"You old geezer, you're getting greedier and greedier! You can have any tree you want, but you can take my life!"

Having said that, Elder Mu turned to leave, but Jianmu Douluo quickly caught up with him and pulled him back, comforting/coaxing him as he did so:

"Anger is bad for your health."

Think about it carefully. Although Xiao Bai doesn't have any real connection with the Spirit Hall's Six-Winged Angel lineage, he owes a favor to the Last Angel God. So, isn't Shrek Academy in a bit of an awkward position?

"Hmm..." Old Master Mu seemed to be deep in thought.

"By taking out your treasure now and eliminating any unnecessary misunderstandings, coupled with our unbreakable bond, if Shrek Academy encounters any difficulties a hundred or two hundred years from now, Xiao Bai will definitely step in to help you overcome them, even if it's just for show!"

"A pole that's been used for a hundred years sounds like a get-rich-quick scheme to me," Old Mu said suspiciously, rubbing his chin.

"How could that be!" Jianmu Douluo was so eager to deceive Elder Mu that he almost swore an oath.

"He who takes a bribe is bound to be obligated to serve it; it's an age-old truth! Isn't that the same principle behind your treasure-hunting club's credit system?"

"I'll go back and think about it some more."

Elder Mu did not immediately agree to Jianmu Douluo's request. After all, the Golden Tree was of great importance, and he could not simply give a word of advice. He needed to obtain the consent of more than half of the elders through the Sea God Pavilion meeting.

"OK."

Jianmu Douluo dared not push too hard, but only hoped to guide Elder Mu. Whether to do it or not was still up to Elder Mu himself.

"Now that we've finished discussing official business, let's chat a bit more," Elder Mu said. "I'm curious, the six-winged angel is a combination of the three attributes of holiness, light, and fire, which is quite different from the abilities of your Jianmu Sacred Tree. What prompted you to take Ling Bai as your direct disciple?"

Upon hearing this, a trace of reminiscence appeared on Jianmu Douluo's aged face: "That year, when Feng Ya brought him back after hunting for the first and second spirit rings, he asked me a question."

"What's the problem?"

"It cannot be spoken, it cannot be spoken..."

Countless images flashed before Jianmu Douluo's eyes, like old movies or forgotten times.

"Senior Jianmu, Aunt Ya told you about me, right?"

"Hmm, ultimate death, madness upon contact with blood, devouring both soul and blood, truly the number one evil martial spirit in the world. Even the Crimson Demon Puppet I have seen cannot compare to your Death Prison Spider Emperor."

"Senior, the Death Prison Spider King is extremely dangerous. Even the Six-Winged Angels couldn't suppress it. It will be a threat to me and the continent in the future. Do you have any way to remove it?"

"You're dreaming, kid. Martial spirit is something that's inseparable from a person and is born together with them."

"Then please use a knife to clean it."

Returning to the present, Jianmu Douluo couldn't help but smile and say, "Mu En, from that day on, I understood that this child's future was destined to be limitless."

"With him here, your Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School will be prosperous for three hundred years without any worries!"

Elder Mu laughed as he stood up, a hint of envy and sigh hidden behind his smile. The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School had worthy successors, but Shrek Academy was outwardly strong but inwardly weak. The Gluttonous Douluo Xuan Lao's martial soul was flawed, the Bright Phoenix Douluo Yan Shaozhe's vision was narrow, and the others were either too old or too young to be of great use. Elder Mu could only last two or three more years before passing away. He still couldn't find the way forward for Shrek Academy.

Farewell, old friend.

His body turned into golden light and dissipated. Having reached Elder Mu's level, he had long since seen through the matters of life and death. Saying the words "farewell forever" was as light as a feather, as simple as saying "I'm going to have breakfast."

After their final meeting, the two top-tier Title Douluos watched Elder Mu depart, and after a long while, he sighed and remarked:

"My old friends are passing away one by one, like leaves falling in the wind..."

Meanwhile, in the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile School Garden.

Ning Fengya and Ning Tian walked slowly forward, their two slender shadows trailing behind them in the sunlight. On either side were nine-colored jades purchased at great expense by the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Golden apricot trees with a history of ten thousand years peeked out from the nine-colored eaves, and the full autumn scenery that could not be contained fell at their feet. Golden apricots, colorful walls, and the clear blue autumn sky—the garden scene was bright and flamboyant.

"...In short, I became the disciple of Martial God Douluo Xian Lin'er, the dean of the Soul Guidance Department, and chose to pursue the path of dual cultivation as a Soul Master and Soul Guidance Master. I spent every day at Shrek Academy very fulfilling."

Ning Tian followed Ning Fengya half a step behind, recounting his year of college life, while glancing at his mother out of the corner of his eye.

Dressed in light cloud-like robes, with a slender waist, she possessed an elegant demeanor and unparalleled beauty. Ning Tian was revered as a little princess in the outer courtyard because she truly possessed the beauty and temperament of a princess. However, only she knew that everything she did was a horizontal imitation of Ning Fengya.

Admittedly, Ning Tian was already very outstanding, but only when she was by her mother's side did she have the illusion that a counterfeit had met the real thing. The words "ashamed of myself" appeared in the dictionary of the little princess of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School for the first time ever.

After listening to Ning Tian's learning experience, Ning Fengya nodded slightly, her voice clear and bright with a hint of casualness:

"Developing hobbies is a good thing. What about the task I assigned you?"

"The mission..." Ning Tian's face tightened. "I've befriended some geniuses from the outer academy, and seven of them have promised to join the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School after graduation. There will definitely be more in the future."

"Your father and Xie Qin were both among the Seven Devils-level geniuses who were recruited into Shrek Academy when I first entered the sect. But these are just minor matters. My dear daughter, when did you learn to downplay the important things?"

Ning Fengya's smile was as warm as the sun, but Ning Tian felt a bone-chilling coldness from the curve of his mother's red lips.

"The most important task is to firmly capture Xiaobai's heart. Whether it's mutual affection or just flattery, I'll ask you one question: Have you done it?"

"mom!"

Ning Tian looked at Ning Fengya in disbelief and said sadly, "According to you, what's the difference between me and Bai Ge's appendage! Feelings can't be forced. I've treated him sincerely, so let's let our relationship develop naturally!"

"Treat each other sincerely...let nature take its course..."

Ning Fengya laughed in anger, particularly wanting to crack open Ning Tian's skull to see if it was filled with mush, and sneered:

"This is not a world where love alone can sustain you; strong alliances and genuine sincerity are the most important things!"

Ning Tian, ​​you ignorant child, it's time to face reality. You must learn to do rational and correct things and shoulder the heavy responsibility of reviving the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School!

Shrek Academy has countless girls with outstanding looks and family backgrounds. The secret guards left behind in Shrek City have seen Xiao Bai traveling with female disciples from the inner court more than once. How long can your childhood sweetheart relationship last?

If you don't take the position, someone else will!

"I...I..."

Ning Tian seemed to be losing control of his emotions, clenching his fists so tightly that his knuckles gradually turned blue. Ning Fengya gently brushed a strand of hair aside, regaining her composure, and said:

"Xiao Bai is exceptionally talented and of excellent character, but he is ruthless to both himself and his enemies. He only shows some tenderness to his close family and friends."

Mom doesn't want you to lower yourself to please him, but rather for you to truly integrate into the relationship. You need to share his joys and sorrows, go through life and death with him, share his interests, learn to understand him better, and incidentally, appropriately reveal your weaknesses to arouse his protective instincts. This isn't about seducing anyone, but rather a little trick for harmonious relationships between men and women, and between husband and wife.

"Mom, what you said makes sense, but I just feel that times have changed. Soul tools are the trend of development on the continent. Support-type characters can transform into control-type, power-attack-type, or agility-attack-type characters with the help of soul tools. Therefore, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School doesn't need to rely on battle soul masters like it used to. We can revitalize ourselves!"

Ning Tian looked stubbornly at his mother. Ning Fengya's nose was very straight, which separated half of the light and shadow, making it even more difficult to discern what was hidden in the eyes and heart of this master of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School.

"Soul tool..."

Ning Fengya pondered for a moment, then slowly but firmly shook her head and said:

"Soul Masters also need Soul Power to advance. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda has a maximum level of 79. What can a near-level 8 Soul Master do?"

Six-winged angels are completely different!

The only stably inherited divine-level martial soul in the history of Douluo Continent has now come to our side...

The fact that Ning Rongrong's ancestor didn't leave behind the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda led to a defeat despite victory in the sect's battle between the two gods. Later, the Heaven Dou Empire split, and the Xue clan, who were close to us, fled to Lingdou City and established the Douling Empire. The remaining Heaven Soul Empire royal family favored battle soul masters and currently has a tendency to establish the Body Sect as the sect that protects the country. Once Jianmu Douluo falls, the Body Sect Master will have no more scruples, and the sect's annihilation will be imminent.

"Xiao Tian, ​​the sect's most urgent task is to devote all its efforts to nurturing Xiao Bai before Jianmu Douluo falls, helping him break through to level 95 Title Douluo within ten years to stabilize the situation. We will pass on the Angelic Bloodline, at which point the Body Sect and the Heavenly Soul Royal Family will be no threat at all!"

A flush rose to Ning Fengya's stunning face, her heart pounding in her chest without any sign of abating. The six-winged angel was like a supreme scepter; whoever wielded it was deemed qualified to contend for supremacy over the continent.

Then she noticed that her daughter beside her had fallen silent. The wind rustled through the trees in the garden. After a long pause, Ning Fengya turned to look at Ning Tian, ​​her eyes revealing a complex and intriguing emotion.

"What are you thinking? Have you given it serious consideration?"

His mother's face was reflected in his azure pupils. Ning Tian's voice was hoarse: "Mom, you're relying on the Six-Winged Angel to revitalize the sect. So, are we the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School, or the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School under the Spirit Hall?"

"..."

As the excitement subsided, Ning Fengya's face turned ashen. She opened her mouth several times, but couldn't utter a single word to refute Ning Tian.

Saying anything is just self-deception. The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School is a sect that reveres the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. She has essentially bound the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda to the Six-Winged Angel, making it a dedicated assistant for the Six-Winged Angel. In the future, people will remember the Six-Winged Angel, not the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School will eventually exist in name only. Upon realizing this, Ning Fengya felt as if she had just woken up from a dream.

"Mom, it's better to rely on yourself than on others. Brother Bai has his own path, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda has its own path..." Ning Tian earnestly advised, believing that self-reliance was the right way to revitalize the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

"alright."

Ning Fengya waved to interrupt Ning Tian, ​​then turned and left, a black ancient book falling into Ning Tian's palm.

Secret technique: Fusion Ring.

"The future is yours. What Mom can't do, you will do."

Ning Tian looked at her mother's back with surprise and delight. She couldn't see that Ning Fengya had chuckled softly at some point, and the whole garden seemed to brighten up a little because of that natural smile.

"After all, I've grown up..."

I'm going to the ancestral hall to chat with your father for a while, don't follow me.

"There's an auction hosted by the Heavenly Soul Empire's royal family tomorrow. Although our relationship isn't what it used to be, we still need to show them the respect we should. You, Xiaobai, and Xiaofeng will come with me."

"Love you, Mom!"
