Chapter 264: Accepting Ning Rongrong as a Disciple, Fierce Battle with Poseidon (Two-in-One)
Storm Pavilion.
"Master Ning, are you sure you want Miss Ning to become my disciple?"
Inside the Pavilion Master's residence, Mo Hui looked up at Ning Fengzhi in front of him, somewhat surprised.
Ning Rongrong was once his peer, so accepting such a disciple always seemed strange to Mo Hui.
Ning Fengzhi, however, bowed slightly and said, "A master is a master who has attained the highest level of soul mastership. Now, Mo Hui, your strength surpasses even Uncle Jian and Uncle Gu. Rongrong is honored to have you as her disciple. Are you dissatisfied with Rongrong's incompetence?"
Ning Fengzhi had figured it out. Under the current circumstances, a relationship between Mo Hui and Ning Rongrong was practically impossible. It would be better for Mo Hui to accept Ning Rongrong as his disciple. This way, they could cultivate some affection through daily interactions and further bind Mo Hui and the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect together.
Otherwise, Ning Fengzhi was truly worried. If they died, Mo Hui's relationship with the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect would become increasingly distant.
"That's not the case. Miss Ning's talent is exceptional across the entire continent."
After saying this, Mo Hui began to assess Ning Rongrong, who was standing beside him.
Ning Rongrong was now nineteen years old, and her Soul Power had already reached level fifty-two. While this was due to the herbs, this speed was still incredibly impressive on the continent.
The Douluo world today isn't the same as it was during the Peerless Tang Sect era. Many things are still in the exploratory stages. Breaking through to Soul Sect before the age of twenty is considered a top-tier talent, let alone Soul King.
This is why Xie Yue, Hu Liena, and Yan were known as the Golden Generation. Soul Kings around twenty years old are incredibly rare in the entire continent's history.
"Really?"
Ning Rongrong's eyes lit up at Mo Hui's words.
Mo Hui nodded, "Of course, but training with me will be very difficult. Can you endure it?"
"As long as I can be Master's apprentice, no matter how hard the training, I will persevere with all my strength."
Ning Rongrong kowtowed to Mo Hui several times.
After Mo Hui kowtowed three times to Ning Rongrong, he used his spirit power to help her to her feet and said, "Alright, since you've accepted me as your disciple, then you will be by my side from now on. You are my first disciple, and from now on, you will be the senior sister of Storm Pavilion."
Ning Rongrong excitedly replied, "Yes, Master!"
She felt somewhat fortunate to be the princess of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect; otherwise, how could she have become Mo Hui's first disciple so easily?
From the initial boredom, to the admiration and secret crush during the elite competition, to the current admiration and worship, Ning Rongrong hadn't changed at all; she was still the same Ning Rongrong. The only difference was that Mo Hui had become stronger.
Seeing this, Mo Hui nodded slightly.
As a support spirit master, Ning Rongrong possessed innate ninth-level spirit power. Besides the innate twentieth-level spirit power, and twin martial spirits, she possessed almost the most powerful talent, as valuable as even a full-strength innate spirit power.
If there was a downside, it was that Ning Rongrong's spirit, the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda, could only be cultivated to level seventy-nine.
However, this was a minor issue for Mo Hui. As long as Ning Rongrong didn't act rashly, once Mo Hui attained divine power, he could easily use his divine power to elevate Ning Rongrong's spirit to the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda.
Seeing this, Ning Fengzhi and Jian Douluo smiled faintly. Mo Hui's future was foreseeable. Now that Ning Rongrong had become Mo Hui's senior disciple, their position among the top three sects of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect was even more secure.
Half a month later, after dealing with the storm, Mo Hui took Ning Rongrong on Pidgeot and flew towards Sea God Island.
"Master, where are we going?"
Ning Rongrong asked Mo Hui curiously, recovering from the shock of Pidgeot's terrifying speed.
"To Sea God Island!"
Mo Hui said to Ning Rongrong without even turning his head.
"Sea God Island? Is that the legendary Devil Island?"
Ning Rongrong asked in surprise after hearing Mo Hui's words.
Ning Rongrong had heard about Sea God Island from Ning Fengzhi and the others, but Ning Fengzhi and the others had called it Devil Island, and little information was available about it.
Mo Hui immediately turned around, pulled out two books from his spirit guide, and gently tapped Ning Rongrong on the head.
"Devil Island is what the Spirit Hall calls it. They once tried to recapture Sea God Island, but suffered heavy losses." He handed the books to Ning Rongrong and said, "These are two original spirit skills I've created based on the characteristics of your Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. Give me the skills within two months, or you won't be considered my apprentice."
"Understood!"
Ning Rongrong took Mo Hui's books and began to flip through them.
The next moment, Ning Rongrong's eyes widened, and she asked in disbelief, "Master, you created these in just half a month?"
"Yes, time is tight. These two original spirit skills are still very crude, but you should practice them for now. I'll improve them for you after I finish my work," Mo Hui replied with a nod.
Considering Ning Rongrong's lack of self-defense abilities as a support-type spirit master, Mo Hui spent the past two weeks developing two unique spirit skills tailored to her needs, tailored to the characteristics of the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda's martial spirit and Ning Rongrong's own situation.
One, called "Rainbow Step," leaves a rainbow-like shadow behind it. Upon mastering it, Ning Rongrong's speed rivals that of a purely agile spirit master like the Spine-tailed Swift.
The other, called "Seven-Colored Glazed Body," enhances her physical strength.
This spirit skill has seven levels. The first level grants Ning Rongrong speed comparable to that of a powerful attack-type spirit master of the same rank. At the seventh level, she can even withstand spirit skills with her bare body without sustaining any damage.
Hearing Mo Hui's words, Ning Rongrong was once again stunned. "This is still crude?"
"Master, I love you so much!"
Then, excitedly, Ning Rongrong attempted to throw herself at Mo Hui, but was stopped by a wall of energy, causing her to suffer a painful blow.
Seeing Ning Rongrong's expression, Mo Hui smiled strangely and said, "I hope you can say that again later."
Soon, Mo Hui brought Ning Rongrong to Poseidon Island.
Mo Hui's arrival naturally caught the attention of Poseidon and the others. The next moment, Poseidon appeared in front of Mo Hui, looking at Ning Rongrong with some confusion, and said, "Who is this beautiful lady?"
"Senior Poseidon, this is my new disciple, Ning Rongrong. I'm going to fight the Deep Sea Demon Whale King, so it's not convenient for me to bring her along. So, please take her to participate in the Poseidon Trial," Mo Hui said, bringing Ning Rongrong to Poseidon.
Hearing Mo Hui's words, Poseidon was startled. He didn't even pay attention to what Ning Rongrong said next. He quickly demanded, "Are you going to challenge the Deep Sea Demon Whale King?"
Although Mo Hui possessed exceptional talent and immense combat power, she was only at level ninety-six. How could she possibly contend with a Deep Sea Demon Whale King nearly a million years old?
Even now, she wasn't completely confident of defeating the Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
Mo Hui was being overconfident!
"Yes!"
Mo Hui nodded, saying, "Yes, I believe my current strength is more than enough to deal with the Deep Sea Demon Whale King."
"The Deep Sea Demon Whale King is no ordinary soul beast. He once battled the Sea God. His power is terrifying, even surpassing my current strength. You should know that!" Poseidon said sternly.
The eighth trial lasted five years, and only a little over a year had passed. There was still plenty of time before the five-year deadline. Mo Hui could easily wait for some time before challenging him. There was no need to take risks now.
If Mo Hui failed in his challenge, all his efforts would be for nothing.
Seeing this, Mo Hui suddenly smiled faintly and said, "It seems that Senior Poseidon doesn't quite believe in my current strength?"
"It's not that I don't trust your strength, but this matter is of great importance. We must not underestimate the enemy!" Poseidon quickly said.
"Ah~"
Mo Hui couldn't help but sigh, then said to Poseidon, "How about this, Senior Poseidon, fight me. If I win, I'll go."
"Okay, if you can beat me today, then I agree to let you kill the Deep Sea Demon Whale King. But if you lose today, then you can calm down a bit."
After hearing Mo Hui's words, Poseidon pondered for a moment before agreeing.
Although Mo Hui had demonstrated strength comparable to a peak-level Douluo at level 90, there was a huge gap between levels 98 and 99; their strength levels were completely different.
Moreover, she was no longer the same person she once was. Over the past few years, Poseidon's strength had increased by over 40%. Furthermore, this was her home turf, and Poseidon felt incredibly formidable.
If Tang Chen and Qian Daoliu were to come again, they might be overwhelmed by her counterattack.
Thinking of Tang Chen, Poseidon's eyes suddenly dimmed. She longed to see him one last time, before her death.
Mo Hui's eighth trial was drawing to a close, and so was her own. Her only regret was not being able to see Tang Chen again, to put an end to her past love.
Meanwhile, Ning Rongrong, listening to their conversation, asked Mo Hui with some confusion, "Master, are you going to kill that Deep Sea Demon Whale King? Is it a hundred-thousand-year-old spirit beast? Why won't this sister let you go?"
Ning Rongrong had always remembered Sword Douluo Chen Xin as one of the most powerful men in the world, but her father, Ning Fengzhi, and Chen Xin had admitted that even the two of them combined might not be able to defeat Mo Hui.
Logically speaking, even if this strength couldn't defeat a hundred-thousand-year soul beast, it would still be more than enough to save its life. So why was that sister, Poseidon, so nervous?
Before Mo Hui could reply, Poseidon spoke first, "Because that Deep Sea Demon Whale King isn't just any hundred-thousand-year soul beast. Its cultivation has reached nearly a million years!"
"Hundred... million years!!!"
Ning Rongrong instinctively covered her mouth with her hand in shock.
A million-year soul beast? How could such an age exist in this world?
After all, an ordinary hundred-thousand-year soul beast is enough to rival a Level 95 Titled Douluo. So, how powerful could this nearly million-year-old Deep Sea Demon Whale King be?
Mo Hui suddenly spoke up, "It's only nearly a million years old, not a true million years old. At best, it's equivalent to a Level 99 Ultimate Douluo. It's not a god after all!"
Mo Hui had seen genuine million-year-old soul beasts before, so why would he be afraid of a Deep Sea Demon Whale King that was only a million years old?
As long as he didn't reach the divine realm, Mo Hui wasn't afraid anymore, not to mention he'd acquired a powerful weapon capable of defeating a god.
The reason Mo Hui chose to deal with the Deep Sea Demon Whale King first, rather than directly confront Qing Ling, was to be on the safe side.
Using the Deep Sea Demon Whale King's spirit rings, spirit bones, whale glue, whale brain, and whale pearls would be enough to raise Mo Hui's level to level ninety-nine, giving him greater confidence when facing Qing Ling.
"..."
Hearing Mo Hui's words, Poseidon couldn't help but frown. How could Mo Hui become so arrogant after just a few days?
But soon, Poseidon's brow relaxed.
The truth would be revealed. Was this simply the result of a sudden increase in strength, or was it pure confidence in his true strength? She'd find out in the battle!
Poseidon said, "Let's fight in the Ring Sea."
"Yes!"
Mo Hui nodded.
Immediately, Mo Hui and Poseidon transformed into two streams of light, one blue and one green, and quickly soared above the Ring Sea.
"Pidot!"
Mo Hui excitedly called out to Pidgeot after arriving above the Ring Sea.
"Beep!"
Pidgeot responded immediately. Poseidon was probably the strongest spirit master they had encountered besides Qian Daoliu.
Poseidon's true combat power now surpassed Qian Daoliu, who had doubled his power at 30,000 meters, and was even capable of challenging the nearly million-year-old Deep Sea Demon Whale King.
Facing such an opponent, Mo Hui and Pidgeot naturally took no chances. Nine spirit rings, purple, black, red, and blue, instantly appeared around Mo Hui.
Almost simultaneously, the first eight spirit rings illuminated, and Mo Hui and Pidgeot's bodies merged, entering a form of human-pidgeot fusion.
"What is this..."
Poseidon, alerted by Mo Hui's actions, clearly sensed danger.
The next moment, a cyan wind field appeared above the Ring Sea, and Mega Pidgeot's body grew larger and larger. Soon, a gigantic Mega Pidgeot, a hundred meters tall, appeared before everyone present.
"Shhh! What a terrifying move!"
At this moment, the Seven Sacred Pillars Douluo of Seagod Island, who had rushed over from the surrounding area, were also shocked upon seeing what appeared to be the giant Mega Pidgeot transformed by Mo Hui.
The sheer size and the powerful aura emanating from it all made them tremble in their hearts.
Then, Sea Dragon Douluo chuckled self-deprecatingly and said, "It seems Mo Hui wasn't serious when he fought us last time. Look, only eight of Mo Hui's spirit rings were lit, indicating that this move was already available to him!"
