"What!"
The pupils of Sword Douluo and Ning Fengzhi suddenly constricted. Sword Douluo even stood up directly. After reacting, he waved his hand to set up a Soul Power barrier around the entire private room to block out sound.
"A Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast, and a transformed Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast at that!"
"Rongrong, is this true?"
Even for Chen Xin, a Level 96 Titled Douluo who didn't need Soul Rings himself, he would still be quite tempted by a ten thousand year soul bone. A ten thousand year soul bone might even allow him to achieve a Breakthrough to Level 97.
"I can't be one hundred percent certain, but there's a high probability it's so. Moreover..." Ning Rongrong was pondering how to explain it to the two excited men. After thinking for a moment, she said,
"That girl named Xiao Wu entered the Star Dou Great Forest alone from the outskirts during the holidays and returned safely afterward."
Regarding the fact that Xiao Wu was a Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast, she couldn't say she knew because of her Transmigration. She could only tell her father and Sword Douluo that it was a conclusion deduced from information sent back by spies lurking in Notting Academy.
As for the spies who had infiltrated Notting Academy, they were Disciples of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect. They had entered the academy as teachers two years ago under Ning Rongrong's orders to keep an eye on Tang San and Xiao Wu.
Two years ago, after Ning Rongrong's Martial Soul Awakening, she began preparing for her future ring condensation.
"Rongrong, your main purpose for finding those two is for the Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast, right?" Ning Fengzhi thought for a moment and understood Ning Rongrong's intention.
It was said that transformed Ten Thousand Year Soul Beasts could condense Soul Rings on their own, all the way up to the Spirit Emperor level.
And what Ning Rongrong was doing now was for the sake of condensing Soul Rings.
"Yes, I discovered them two years ago. It's only recently that I've roughly confirmed one of them is a transformed Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast."
"However..." Ning Rongrong spoke with some hesitation, "That Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast seems to be targeted by a Titled Douluo."
"A Titled Douluo?" Ning Fengzhi frowned.
"A Titled Douluo would be in such a remote place?" Sword Douluo asked with a frown.
transformed Ten Thousand Year Soul Beasts entering the human World wasn't a rare occurrence, and usually, they wouldn't be discovered at such a young age. That Ning Rongrong had found one was likely just an accident.
"The Sect Disciples serving as teachers at Notting Academy have seen a ragged middle-aged man appearing near the academy multiple times. I speculate he is likely a Titled Douluo."
"The reason I'm certain of this is the boy with Innately Full Spirit Power named Tang San. His father's name is Tang Hao."
"The Clear Sky Douluo of the Clear Sky Sect?" Sword Douluo said in surprise.
"When filling out the parent's name on the registration form, Tang San filled it out that way, though there was only a name and no status." Ning Rongrong said with a shrug.
"Innately Full Spirit Power, Blue Silver Grass... I couldn't help but suspect it."
"I see." Ning Fengzhi nodded thoughtfully.
Blue Silver Grass was widely recognized as a trash Martial Soul, but there were exceptions to everything. The son of the Clear Sky Douluo was that exception.
The wife of the current Clear Sky Douluo was said to be the transformed Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast, the Blue Silver Emperor.
If Tang San inherited his mother's Blue Silver Emperor Bloodline and then awakened his Martial Soul...
Even if the Martial Soul was Blue Silver Grass, it probably wasn't ordinary Blue Silver Grass.
Thinking of this, Ning Fengzhi asked Ning Rongrong, "In two years, hasn't the hidden line lurking in Notting Academy been discovered?"
Monitoring a Titled Douluo was no simple matter.
Moreover, the Soul Master Ning Rongrong used only had the strength of a Spirit Ancestor.
"Maybe they were discovered, maybe not." Ning Rongrong shrugged. "They didn't make a move, so I acted as if I didn't know."
"A Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast, plus the current Clear Sky Douluo... Rongrong, you already had your own ideas when you came here, didn't you?" Sword Douluo asked.
"I need to observe the process of Xiao Wu completely condensing a Soul Ring after she reaches Level 20 from a close distance."
"I don't need her Soul Ring or Spirit Bone; that's my personal view. Besides, this likely involves the Clear Sky Douluo of the Clear Sky Sect. It's said that the Upper Three Sects are as close as brothers."
After Ning Rongrong finished speaking, she looked at Sword Douluo and Ning Fengzhi.
"Fengzhi, to be honest, I'm not very confident I can take down Tang Hao." Sword Douluo shook his head after a long silence.
If he were just a lone wolf, he might have just charged in recklessly.
A Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast was something one could only hope for but not seek out.
However, as an Elder of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, he had to consider more important matters.
What if Tang Hao escaped?
You can be a thief for a thousand days, but you can't guard against a thief for a thousand days.
Besides, the battle record of the current Clear Sky Douluo was truly terrifying!
Just after becoming a Titled Douluo, he heavily injured the Level 95 Spirit Hall Supreme Pontiff, Qian Xunji, while fighting several Titled Douluo at once.
Rumor had it that Tang Hao still managed to escape safely from Qian Daoliu's hands; even Sword Douluo didn't think he could achieve that.
So much time had passed now; heaven knows what level Tang Hao had advanced to.
"True." Ning Fengzhi also nodded. "He didn't kill our Sect Disciples, so he probably also has no intention of making an enemy of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect."
Street thugs fight and kill when they meet, but those from great Sects focus on social graces when they travel.
"The Clear Sky Douluo might be in Nuoding City. Let's go out for a stroll later; we might even see him in person."
"Rongrong, what do you think?" Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo both looked at Ning Rongrong, who was still busy eating.
Ning Rongrong had a chicken leg stuffed in her mouth. She pulled it out with some effort, her eyes reflecting a bit of thought before she said, "I'm fine with anything, you guys decide."
Soon, the food was completely devoured under Ning Rongrong's whirlwind assault... The three of them strolled through Nuoding City without any concealment.
The main purpose was to draw out the person in the shadows.
Sure enough, before long...
Sword Douluo sent a low-voice transmission to Ning Rongrong and Ning Fengzhi: "There's the aura of a Titled Douluo, and his strength is very formidable."
Ning Fengzhi nodded imperceptibly. According to the plan, the three of them walked toward the remote outskirts.
The figure in the shadows did not leave but instead followed closely, like a ghost that wouldn't disperse.
Suddenly, Ning Fengzhi stopped.
He held the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda in his palm. A pale green light appeared on the pagoda's body, and seven Soul Rings slowly rose.
"When did the dignified Clear Sky Douluo become so secretive and cowardly?"
Not long after those words were spoken...
A pressure belonging to a Titled Douluo surged from all directions.
"Hmph!"
Sword Douluo took a step forward.
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, black—the nine Soul Rings symbolizing a Titled Douluo appeared one after another. The erupted Soul Power pushed back the spreading pressure.
The sound of "crunching" footsteps rang out.
A middle-aged man in a black robe with a scruffy beard walked over slowly. Even though his clothes were ragged, they couldn't hide the piercing aura about him.
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black, black, black, black, red.
Nine Soul Rings rose in order, quietly arranged on the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand.
"Long time no see, School Master Ning."
"Indeed, it has been a long time, current Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao." Ning Fengzhi smiled faintly. "I didn't expect that as soon as I arrived in Nuoding City, I would be given such a show of strength by Your Excellency."
As the words fell, the atmosphere between the two sides became tense and hostile.
After a long silence, Tang Hao spoke slowly, "Is your purpose that Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast? I wonder if School Master Ning can give me some Face."
convex(艹皿艹)
So arrogant!
A dignified hundred-thousand-year rogue rabbit is only worth your, Tang Ritian's, Face?
Are you the Face-Face Fruit user?
Ning Rongrong was complaining incessantly in her heart, but on the surface, she remained a good baby; naturally, she couldn't let anyone see even a hint of it.
She was still a quiet little loli.
