As Ning Fengzhi's only daughter, Ning Rongrong was deeply loved. Everyone was afraid she might get hurt; even a little scratch would cause several people heartache for a good while.
This was also Xu Yang's helpless point. If he was slightly careless and Ning Rongrong got hurt, Ning Fengzhi and his wife wouldn't say anything, but Sword Bone duo would be different. They would directly give Xu Yang a practical combat lesson, which should be said was purely a beating, and they would call it increasing Xu Yang's experience in fighting high-level Soul Masters.
Although these two were very careful to keep it within limits, it still hurt!
But Ning Rongrong, who was just nine months old, could already walk and was particularly lively. She would often crawl from one end of the bed to the other without anyone noticing, and once she almost fell off the bed.
Fortunately, he reacted in time and caught her.
Ning Rongrong, who didn't feel any pain from the fall, wasn't afraid at all. Instead, she found it fun and often walked back and forth, wanting to jump off the bed.
Helpless, Xu Yang could only stay by the bed, using distraction to control and cultivate Soul Power while playing with Ning Rongrong, preventing her from getting hurt or falling.
On this day, Ning Rongrong, who had been playing for two hours, was probably tired and fell into a deep sleep.
Xu Yang breathed a sigh of relief beside her, covered her with the small quilt, and then sat down beside her, propping his chin with his hands, thinking about whether to choose Slime or Light Sacred Beetle for his second Soul Ring. Because he was going to Heaven Dou Royal Academy for classes after reaching Great Soul Master, he was a little hesitant whether to choose the Light Sacred Beetle Soul Ring first, which could improve his combat power.
However, this conflicted with his original plan. His original idea was to choose Slime for his second Soul Skill to obtain a splitting Soul Skill, allowing his Spirit to split, thereby achieving the effect of one becoming two, two becoming four, and four becoming eight.
Precisely because of the effect of the Soul Skill, as long as the core origin of the Spirit was not split off, no matter how many times those split-off parts exploded later, it would not affect him. However, his current cultivation was not enough to control the Spirit, and even if he added the second ring, he would not be able to self-detonate the Spirit.
Therefore, after adding this Soul Skill, his actual combat ability would not improve much. And without combat power, it would be very difficult to gain a foothold in a noble academy.
That's why he was thinking of downgrading the original third Soul Ring, Light Sacred Beetle, to the second Soul Ring, which could increase his combat power during the Great Soul Master stage, and choosing Slime as the third Soul Ring.
"Yang'er, Rongrong has fallen asleep!" Just then, Madam Ning walked in from outside and saw Ning Rongrong sleeping soundly on the bed, drooling, and said with a smile.
"Yes, Master's Wife! Just fell asleep!" Xu Yang responded with a smile and continued to space out.
Seeing Xu Yang like this, Madam Ning was stunned, a little curious. She had never seen Xu Yang like this before. In her impression, Xu Yang had always been an extremely mature child with strong independent ideas.
"Something on your mind?!" Madam Ning sat down beside Xu Yang and asked with a smile.
"Yes! I'm thinking about the choice of the second Soul Ring!" Xu Yang nodded.
"Oh?! Haven't you already planned the choice of the second and third Soul Rings, and even the fourth Soul Ring you have chosen!" Madam Ning asked curiously.
The family knew its own affairs. Xu Yang had never concealed his Spirit plan from Ning Fengzhi and others. At first, Ning Fengzhi and others felt that Xu Yang's Soul Ring choices were too functional. Splitting and shaping did not directly provide combat power. Without combat Soul Skills as a guarantee, what kind of strong attack system Soul Master was he?
But after listening to Xu Yang's explanation, several people immediately agreed, because Xu Yang's Soul Skill choices were not traditional direct attack Soul Skills, but combined Soul Skills. The effect of a single Soul Skill was not strong, but when combined with each other, it was not as simple as one plus one being greater than two.
The simplest example was the combination of the second and third Soul Skills planned by Xu Yang, which was a great weapon. Imagine, once Xu Yang's two major Soul Skills were activated, the Sun Spirit would split into dozens of Suns, some of which would be transformed into weapons and armor and held in Xu Yang's hands and worn on his body. This would not only ensure defense but also ensure attack, equivalent to having multiple Soul Tools.
Don't forget, the Sun Spirit was a weapon Spirit and could not possess the body like a beast Spirit to gain the Spirit's abilities. It could only release Soul Skills through the Spirit. But once he wore the Spirit on his body, he could directly release Fire through his hands, feet, and various parts of his body. Using the Spirit in this way was much more controllable than simply releasing Soul Skills with the Spirit, which could greatly enrich his means of dealing with enemies.
The remaining part of the Spirit suspended above his head could be used for harassment, cooperating with Xu Yang in battle. When necessary, he could directly throw out the split Spirit and directly use the Spirit to attack.
You should know that Xu Yang's Spirit was the Sun, which was close to the ultimate Fire, and its attack power was conceivable.
"Master's Wife, after I hunt the second ring, am I not going to Heaven Dou Royal Academy to study?! But the original second ring can't provide much attack power. If I am ostracized at school, I won't have much ability to resist, and it will even tarnish the reputation of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!" Xu Yang scratched his head and said his troubles.
Through more than a year of accompanying Ning Fengzhi to various gatherings, he was very clear about the urine of the Heaven Dou nobles. These people were extremely exclusive to non-nobles, and even bullied classmates. Although he was Ning Fengzhi's disciple, he was not a noble himself.
Moreover, the Ning Fengzhi behind him supported Xue Qinghe, and it was inevitable that other princes would arrange for the noble forces behind them to make trouble for him, or even force him to drop out of school. This kind of thing was too frequent in power struggles.
As an adult, he didn't care about the exclusion of those nobles, but these people would definitely find trouble for him for various reasons, or even when he was cultivating. If he didn't beat them painfully at once, it would be difficult for him to cultivate normally at school.
"So our little genius also has his own troubles!" Madam Ning covered her mouth and smiled. She didn't expect Xu Yang to think so much. It seemed that Feng Zhi's teaching during this period was not in vain. She rubbed Xu Yang's head and then said, "Actually, you don't need to worry too much about this. You are thinking a bit too much. Most of the students at Heaven Dou Royal Academy are just good-for-nothings. Even if your first two Soul Skills don't have much combat power, with their strength, they can't possibly be your opponents.
As for the rest, they are basically descendants of great nobles. Their family heads are all shrewd and will never let their children participate in the royal struggle.
"Besides, my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is not to be trifled with. Before they take action, they have to consider whether they can withstand the revenge of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."
"Looks like I'm still used to being a low-level workhorse in my previous life. I still haven't changed the habit of thinking thrice before acting!"
Hearing Madam Ning's words, Xu Yang was stunned for a moment, then a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. In this life, he is no longer a low-level workhorse, but a direct disciple of the Sect Leader of the top power on the continent, with enough room for error, so he doesn't need to look before he leaps when doing things.
