Of course, that's not the focus right now.
The main point is that his daughter Ning Rongrong's Spirit had actually mutated!
"Mm, it's mine."
At this, Ning Rongrong nodded and summoned her Spirit with a focused expression.
Instantly, a nine-story Glazed Tile Pagoda, radiating dazzling light, appeared around Ning Rongrong.
"N-nine stories already?"
Ning Fengzhi's eyes widened in disbelief.
"Doesn't this mean Rongrong can break through the shackles, and even advance all the way to Titled Douluo?"
"Yes, Father, I can break through to Titled Douluo in the future." Ning Rongrong put away her Spirit, a smile on her face.
"Rongrong, when did your Spirit upgrade?" Sword Douluo asked calmly.
"Grandpa Sword, actually, my Spirit upgraded three years ago…" Ning Rongrong said, lowering her head.
"Three years ago?"
"When you went to the Star Dou Great Forest to cultivate?"
"Your Spirit was upgraded by your master?"
Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo were all stunned, finding it hard to believe.
Three years ago, Ning Rongrong secretly left the family, wanting to venture out on her own.
Of course, Ning Fengzhi naturally sent people to secretly follow her.
In reality, Ning Rongrong was in her rebellious phase.
Running away from home was not the first time.
Every time, Ning Fengzhi would secretly send people to protect her.
After all, she was the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and no mishaps could be allowed.
However, that time three years ago, an accident occurred.
The people sent to secretly protect Ning Rongrong actually lost track of her!
That time, Ning Fengzhi nearly died of anxiety.
He exhausted all his power to send people to search for Ning Rongrong.
Unfortunately, after searching for half a month, there was still no news.
Just as Ning Fengzhi was despairing.
Ning Rongrong sent someone back with a letter.
The letter said that she was cultivating with an unparalleled expert in the Star Dou Great Forest and told everyone not to worry.
Upon receiving the letter and confirming it was written by Ning Rongrong herself, Ning Fengzhi and everyone in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School finally breathed a sigh of relief.
However, that trip lasted for two years.
It wasn't until a year ago that Ning Rongrong returned to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Of course, during this period, Ning Fengzhi also sent people to search the Star Dou Great Forest more than once, but each time they found nothing.
Fortunately, two years later, Ning Rongrong returned safely.
And after her return, Ning Rongrong's strength had improved significantly, and she had also become more sensible.
Regrettably, Ning Rongrong never said who she was cultivating with, so Ning Fengzhi naturally had no chance to meet her master.
At that time, Ning Rongrong refused to say, and Ning Fengzhi dared not force her, only tactfully expressing that if there was an opportunity, he would like her master to visit the Sect so they could properly thank him.
Thinking of this, Ning Fengzhi was dumbfounded and filled with sighs.
"I never expected Rongrong's master to have such ability, to be able to break through the shackles of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Spirit…"
"No, my Spirit was able to advance because Brother… uh, because Master gave me an immortal-grade plant called the Silky Loosestrife Tulip."
"This immortal-grade plant is extremely rare; encountering one is already a stroke of luck—"
Afraid that Ning Fengzhi would misunderstand, Ning Rongrong quickly explained.
As for master?
There is no master…
He's only a few years older than me…
A handsome, tall, and slender figure appeared in Ning Rongrong's mind.
Then, the corners of her mouth unconsciously lifted.
The agreed date… is almost here.
On this side, Ning Fengzhi shook his head and said.
"It is already a great fortune that Rongrong could advance; Father did not hope for anything more."
"Rongrong, you must find an opportunity to have your master visit the Sect."
"He has helped us so much; the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School must thank him properly."
Hearing this, Ning Rongrong quickly waved her hand and said, "It's fine, Father, my master won't mind these things."
"Nonsense, although your master has a detached personality, we must not neglect the proper etiquette." Ning Fengzhi said with a stern face.
"Oh, alright then, I'll let him meet you next time~"
Ning Rongrong breathed a sigh of relief.
They really should meet.
"By the way, the Spirit Ability just rewarded is called Turbid Guard. When cast, it forms a layer of brown light around the body, ignoring all forms of attack, can be used on a group, and lasts for 30 seconds!"
"Hiss—"
Everyone in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School gasped.
...…
The ranking continued to be announced.
[Martial Soul Ranking, 8th Place — Soul Eating Spider Emperor, rewards the holder with a 50,000-year Spirit Pill, and a Heaven-tier low-grade Spirit Ability, Nether Devour.]
[Martial Soul Ranking, 7th Place — Death Spider Emperor, rewards the holder with a 50,000-year Spirit Pill, and a Heaven-tier low-grade Spirit Ability, Abyssal Gaze.]
Spirit Hall.
Bibi Dong's golden long dress gently swayed, a cold glint flashing in her eyes.
"Is that all?"
"I want to see who the mighty beings ranked higher are."
Bibi Dong put away the Spirit Pill and Spirit Ability scroll, then looked up, continuing to gaze.
A moment later, her pupils contracted again.
"Heh, Clear Sky Hammer can only rank sixth?"
[Martial Soul Ranking, 6th Place — Clear Sky Hammer, rewards the holder with a 70,000-year Spirit Pill, and a Heaven-tier mid-grade Spirit Ability, Wrath of the Thunder God.]
Above the sky.
The golden scroll hung like a reversed galaxy.
Golden light illuminated the earth, and lines of ink-colored text appeared on the huge scroll.
[Martial Soul Ranking, 6th Place — Clear Sky Hammer, rewards the holder with a 70,000-year Spirit Pill, and a Heaven-tier mid-grade Spirit Ability, Wrath of the Thunder God.]
Seeing this result, everyone was shocked and couldn't believe it.
"Clear Sky Hammer only ranks sixth?"
"The Clear Sky Hammer, hailed as the number one Tool Spirit on the continent, actually only ranks sixth? How is this possible?!"
"Hiss! I thought the Clear Sky Hammer would definitely be first!"
"Damn it! I bet everything on Clear Sky Hammer being first! Now my coffin money is all gone!"
Some people beat their chests and cried bitterly, filled with regret.
Many had already secretly started their own betting pools.
However, the ranking became increasingly unpredictable, and many who thought they were experts were already dumbfounded.
And at this moment, the ranking seemed to be brewing something, as the top five were not announced for a long time.
"Holy crap! This ranking is rigged! The Clear Sky Hammer clearly deserves to be first! But it's only ranked sixth?!"
Someone was indignant and very unconvinced.
He had invested a lot of money, betting that the Clear Sky Hammer would definitely be in the top three.
Now that the results were out, he had lost miserably, even his wife's dowry was gone.
"Even the Clear Sky Hammer can only rank sixth, I really can't imagine what kind of existences the top five will be!"
This sentence represented the thoughts of most people.
Of course, some people knew that there were indeed Spirits on the continent not weaker than the Clear Sky Hammer.
It's just that they never imagined.
There were actually five other Spirits ranked ahead of the Clear Sky Hammer.
A white-haired old Spirit Master looked up at the void, a strange light flickering in his turbid eyes.
"Besides the Seraphim Spirit inherited by Spirit Hall, and the Sea God Spirit of Sea God Island, are there any other Spirits on the continent that can rival the Clear Sky Hammer?"
"Is the continent about to change?"
Valley.
Looking at the latest displayed ranking, Tang San stood frozen in place, as if petrified.
It took him a long time to recover, and he looked at his father.
"Father… C-Clear Sky Hammer, sixth?"
Tang Hao was equally startled.
He also didn't expect that the Clear Sky Hammer would only rank sixth.
He had originally thought that it would at least make it into the top three.
Seeing Tang Hao remain silent, Tang San took a deep breath, his voice trembling as he said.
"Father, in this world, are there really so many Spirits that can rank ahead of the Clear Sky Hammer?"
Tang San was unwilling to accept this result.
In his subconscious, he had always believed the Clear Sky Hammer was the number one in the world.
Even if it wasn't number one, it could at least rank second or third.
But now, it only ranked sixth.
This result was unacceptable to him.
Hearing Tang San's question, Tang Hao shook his head and said.
"As far as I know, there are indeed Spirits on the continent that can rival, or even slightly surpass, the Clear Sky Hammer Spirit."
"What Spirits?" Tang San was startled.
Tang Hao focused his gaze and looked up at the sky, saying.
"The Seraphim Spirit of Spirit Hall, and the Sea God Spirit of Sea God Island."
After a pause, Tang Hao continued.
