Douluo Continent: The Twin Holy Dragons of Light and Darkness, the Dragon Emperor Breaks Through the

Ling Feng smiled slightly and gently touched her face.

"Sect Leader Ning, your daughter is very cute."

Ning Fengzhi looked at him and suddenly asked, "Holy Son, do you know what that medicinal ingredient is?"

Ling Feng withdrew his hand, looked at him, and his gaze was calm.

"Sect Master Ning, I cannot say what the medicinal ingredient is right now, but I can tell you that this medicinal ingredient is only found in the Spirit Hall on the entire continent."

Ning Fengzhi remained silent.

He knew Ling Feng wasn't lying.

The rare and precious materials that can evolve the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda must be legendary celestial treasures.

This kind of thing is rare and hard to come by.

Ling Feng continued, "Sect Master Ning, if I may be so bold as to ask, did you come here today as the Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, or as Ning Rongrong's father?"

Ning Fengzhi was taken aback, then gave a wry smile.

Is there a difference?

"Have."

Ling Feng said seriously, "If it is the identity of the sect leader, then it is an alliance between the two sects and an exchange of benefits. If it is the identity of the father, then it is a junior seeking an opportunity for your daughter."

Ning Fengzhi looked down at his daughter in his arms and remained silent for a long time.

"Holy Son, what identity do you think Feng Zhi should assume?"

Ling Feng looked at him and smiled slightly.

"Sect Leader Ning, you are a smart person. Smart people often think things through, but sometimes thinking too much can lead to missing out."

He paused, then said softly, "Your daughter is so young. As her father, it's only natural that you want to give her the best."

"But have you ever thought about what is truly best for her?"

Ning Fengzhi was stunned.

Ling Feng continued, "The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has no shortage of money, status, or connections."

"Under your protection, your daughter can live a peaceful life, but her martial spirit will forever remain at level seventy-nine."

"What the Spirit Hall can offer is an opportunity to break through the limits."

He looked at Ning Rongrong with gentle eyes, "Give her the opportunity to go to higher places and see more distant scenery."

Ning Fengzhi lowered his head and looked at his daughter in his arms.

Little Rongrong didn't know what the adults were talking about; he just grabbed his finger and played happily.

After a long while, Ning Fengzhi raised his head.

"Holy Son, if I may be so bold as to ask again, what does the Spirit Hall need the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School for?"

Ling Feng smiled.

"Sect Leader Ning, the Spirit Hall doesn't need the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to do anything. It only needs..." He paused.

"On some day in the future, when the Spirit Hall needs it, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will be able to stand on the right side."

Ning Feng's pupils constricted slightly.

He knew what Ling Feng meant by "someday in the future".

That was the day when the Spirit Hall and the two great empires finally had their showdown.

Ning Fengzhi took a deep breath and slowly exhaled.

"Holy Son, Feng Zhi needs time to consider."

Ling Feng nodded: "Of course, Sect Master Ning, there's no need to rush to answer. You can think about it slowly."

He stood up and cupped his hands in greeting to Ning Fengzhi.

"Sect Leader Ning rarely comes to Wuhun City. Why not stay a few more days so that I can show you the hospitality of a host?"

Ning Fengzhi rose and returned the greeting: "Thank you, Holy Son."

Ling Feng turned and left.

As he reached the door, he suddenly turned back and glanced at Ning Rongrong in Ning Fengzhi's arms.

Little Rongrong was waving at him and making some kind of babbling noises.

Ling Feng smiled slightly, then turned and left.

Ning Fengzhi watched his retreating figure, remaining silent for a long time.

"Sect Master," Sword Douluo Chen Xin's voice came from behind, "What do you think?"

Ning Fengzhi was silent for a moment, then said softly, "Uncle Jian, do you think Rongrong can really go further in the future?"

Sword Douluo looked at the little girl who was playing with her father's fingers and said slowly.

"If there's no opportunity, level 79; if there is opportunity..."

He didn't continue.

But Ning Fengzhi understands.

If given the right opportunity, reaching an even higher level is not impossible.

He lowered his head, looked at his daughter in his arms, and whispered.

"Rongrong, Rongrong, your father is taking this gamble of his life."

After spending a few days at the Spirit Hall, Ning Fengzhi and his group departed.

Six months later, in Wuhun City.

Over the past six months, the situation on the mainland has been turbulent yet strangely calm.

On the surface, the two empires and the Spirit Hall maintained a facade of harmony.

But in the business world, the winds have quietly shifted.

The merchant guilds under the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School began purchasing large quantities of refined salt and paper from the Spirit Hall.

Merchants who were originally tied to the royal family of the Heaven Dou Empire discovered that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School offered a price that was 30% higher than theirs.

The Spirit Hall, on the other hand, reciprocated in kind.

The Spirit Hall supplied several rare metals urgently needed by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School in large quantities at cost price.

Although the two sides have not formally formed an alliance, it is clear to everyone that Ning Fengzhi has made his choice.

Prince Xuexing was furious in the Tiandou court, but there was nothing he could do.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is not his vassal; it is their freedom to do business with whomever they choose.

Moreover, the Spirit Hall has several Title Douluos in charge.

What else can he do besides hurl insults?

Meanwhile, in Wuhun City, everything was proceeding according to plan.

The kindergarten program is progressing smoothly, and the first batch of children have already enrolled.

Children who used to play in the streets and alleys now sit in bright classrooms, learning to read and write with their teachers.

Chapter 70 Breaking Level 60! Eleven-Year-Old Soul Emperor!

Ling Feng would occasionally visit the kindergarten.

Every time he went there, the children would surround him and call him "Brother Holy Son" all at once.

That kind of genuine closeness cannot be faked.

Qian Renxue laughed at him, saying he was becoming more and more like a king of children.

Ling Feng just smiled and said that these children would be the foundation of the Spirit Hall in the future.

But the practice has never stopped.

For the past six months, Ling Feng has been taking 100,000-year-old whale glue every day, and with the help of the remaining medicinal power of the immortal herbs, his soul power has been steadily increasing.

Level 58, Level 59...

Finally, on an ordinary afternoon, he sensed that barrier.

Level 60.

In the ancient family villa, inside the cultivation room.

Ling Feng sat cross-legged, his soul power surging around him.

His aura had reached the peak of level 59, just one step away from level 60.

But he didn't rush to make a breakthrough.

Level 60 is a watershed moment.

The transformation from Soul King to Soul Emperor is not merely an increase in soul power, but a qualitative leap.

He needs to ensure his foundation is solid before taking this step.

He took out the last piece of 100,000-year-old whale glue and swallowed it in one gulp.

A massive amount of energy surged into his body, merging with his soul power.

His physical body, tempered by whale glue, had already reached a level that was difficult for other Soul Masters of the same level to achieve.

His immune-to-ice-and-fire constitution allows him to absorb energy several times faster than others.

Time passed by, second by second.

Outside the training room, Qian Gu Xiao Ye and Tuoba Yue'er stood side by side, waiting quietly.

"Feng'er has been in seclusion for three days now."

"Tuoba Yue'er said softly, a hint of worry in her eyes."

Qian Gu Xiaoye shook his head: "No rush. Breaking through to level 60 is a big deal. Let him take his time."
