Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Saint Master, Twelve Talismans Chaotic the Continent

Chapter 122 Difficulty in Making Choices

……

Three months later.

Since Ning Rongrong took the medicine, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda has successfully evolved into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. Ning Fengzhi didn't know whether to be happy or worried about this situation.

He dared not place the future of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School on Nan Feng, because what Nan Feng was doing was too dangerous and risky. If he was not careful, he would die a gruesome death.

Moreover, if Nan Feng doesn't do things thoroughly enough, Douluo Continent will soon return to its former state after him. What will become of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School that supports Nan Feng then?

He dared not gamble because this investment was high-risk and had no return!

What Nan Feng did brought him no benefit whatsoever, nor to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!

Nan Feng succeeded. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was still the same Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, because they did not rely on force to dominate like other sects, nor did they rely on coercion like the Spirit Hall. They relied on credit and a trading network that spanned the continent.

Even if society changes, people still need to trade.

Commerce will never disappear.

Even though Nan Feng failed, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School remains the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Whether this world is dominated by Soul Masters or by everyone else makes no difference to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School; that's just their nature.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is an investor, but it would be dangerous if the investors themselves got involved in the trading.

With simple investments, even if you lose money, you only lose the money you put in. But if you personally get involved, once you lose, the loss is much more than just money.

After thinking for a long time, Ning Fengzhi still couldn't make a decision.

If they don't align with Nan Feng, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will at most be a little weaker, but if they follow him, it's a matter of life or death.

In the end, Ning Fengzhi decided to leave the choice to Ning Rongrong.

She is the next sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and the great changes that are about to happen in the Douluo Continent are something she will have to face.

So, how the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School should stand in this storm should be decided by Ning Rongrong, not by him.

"Feng Zhi, aren't you being a little shameless?" Gu Rong said.

"How old is Rongrong? You're letting a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl make this kind of decision? Are you trying to crush her?"

Is it something a person could do to entrust the fate of a sect to a child like Ning Rongrong?

"She possesses the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda and has immense talent. She can lead the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to new heights. This choice can only be made by her," Ning Fengzhi said.

"But she's still young, just a twelve-year-old girl," Gu Rong said.

Ning Fengzhi shook his head. "This has nothing to do with age."

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul grants its owner the talent to discern treasures and foresee opportunities. This is the foundation of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Rongrong's Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda can see even further."

The higher the quality of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, the more sensitive it is to treasures. As for the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, it is a martial soul that only exists in legends. He doesn't know what the person who possesses this martial soul can see or sense, but it is definitely more and more profound than what he can see.

Therefore, he could not offer any advice on this matter; he could only support Ning Rongrong's choice.

……

Heavenly Dou Royal Academy

Since the aristocratic reform bill was passed, the atmosphere at the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy has been completely different. Those who chose to hide their talents for fear of being targeted can no longer hide them, and there is no longer any value in hiding them.

It's either risk your life or be risked yours.

Clearly, they had no choice.

In less than six years since the reforms were implemented, the nobility of the Heavenly Dou Empire has undergone tremendous changes. There have been annexations, confiscations of property, and some who couldn't make it and chose to defect to the Star Luo Empire, while others have been convicted of treason. All sorts of reasons and all sorts of things have been happening.

Although it may seem that the Heavenly Dou Empire has been mired in internal strife in recent years, this decaying empire is actually rejuvenating.

"What should I do...?"

At the Heaven Dou Royal Training Ground, Ning Rongrong, who had just returned from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, was lying on the edge of the field with a worried expression, watching Zhu Zhuyun and Hu Liena sparring and training.

"What's wrong?" Xiao Wu asked.

"My father asked me to decide the future of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School," Ning Rongrong said.

"But I don't know what to choose, I'm afraid to gamble."

Without taking sides, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School remains the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

Choosing sides carries significant risk and offers virtually no reward.

Logically speaking, this kind of multiple-choice question doesn't require any thought; even a fool would know to choose the option that guarantees a profit.

However, this is only what it appears to be.

Her father said that if the current trend continues, there will definitely be a terrifying war that affects the entire Douluo Continent within a hundred years!

This was unavoidable!

Nan Feng's actions have stirred up too many conflicts. The reason things are still relatively stable now is entirely due to his terrifying personal influence!

But this situation won't last long. Some conflicts can't be resolved peacefully; the only way is to fight to the death!

Once these conflicts erupt, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will not be able to remain unscathed!

Nanfeng doesn't mind if they remain neutral, but others won't!

Even before Nan Feng took office, the Spirit Hall was determined to make the seven major sects submit!

The papal decree issued to the three upper sects was itself akin to the imperial edicts of amnesty issued by the two great empires.

They can remain neutral now, but when war breaks out in the future, they will still have to make a choice. Choosing now, although risky, would reduce a lot of conflict due to the power of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

But if we are forced to choose sides after war breaks out, that would be dangerous.

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

"What's so difficult about this?" Xiao Wu asked, puzzled.

"Choose whichever you want."

"It's not that simple. I have to take responsibility for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School," Ning Rongrong said.

"Wait a minute." Xiao Wu put down the carrot in her hand and looked serious.

"You are the young sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and also the future sect master, right?"

Ning Rongrong nodded.

"Your choice may determine whether the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will rise to glory or perish, right?" Xiao Wu asked.

"Mm." Ning Rongrong nodded.

"So, whether the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School lives or dies is actually decided by you, right?" Xiao Wu asked.

Ning Rongrong hesitated for a moment, then said, "You could say that."

"Since you brought them glory, shouldn't they also accept the destruction if you bring it?" Xiao Wu said.

Ning Rongrong was taken aback. "Huh?"

"Isn't that right?" Xiao Wu said.

"Those who can reap the greatest benefits because of you are undoubtedly those who are inseparable from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. As for those working people who don't care about the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's future, do you think they care about it?"

"If the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School becomes powerful, they won't benefit much. If the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School disappears, it won't have much impact on them. It's just a matter of changing their place of work."

"As for those who are inseparable from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, since they have enjoyed the benefits, shouldn't they also bear the risks?"

"If you choose correctly, they'll profit too; if you choose incorrectly, shouldn't they also lose money?"

"You can't just shout 'family' when you're making money, and then yell 'it's all your fault' when you're losing money, can you?"

Whether you succeed or fail, you only need to be responsible for yourself. There's no need to think too much about it. After all, if you make the wrong choice, you will be the one who suffers the most.

"You've already borne the consequences of your failure, so what right do others have to complain about you?"
