"F–Father?"
Ning Rongrong covered her cheek, completely stunned.
A burning, needle-like pain spread across her face, and five bright red fingerprints surfaced rapidly.
She looked at Ning Fengzhi with disbelief.
The man who always smiled at her gently…
The father who always indulged her…
Now wore a face colder than winter frost.
No tenderness.
No anger.
Only a chilling estrangement—so unfamiliar, so terrifying—that her heart trembled violently.
Her panic surged.
Instinctively, like a drowning child, she turned to the support she trusted most.
"Grandpa Sword… I—"
Before she could finish, Sword Douluo Chen Xin took a single light step back.
A tiny movement.
Yet to Ning Rongrong, it was like an infinite, bottomless chasm opening beneath her feet.
Her outstretched hand froze in the air—just inches from touching him.
But that last inch…
She could never cross again.
Her lips trembled. Desperate, she turned toward her last pillar.
"Grandpa Bone… please… please say something…"
The tall old man who always lifted her on his shoulders…
Who always laughed loudest when she acted spoiled…
Only let out a long, suffocating sigh.
His eyes reddened.
Then he turned his head away.
Completely.
Refusing to look at her even once more.
In that moment…
The three people who loved her most—
Rejected her
Pulled away
And shut her out
At the same time.
Something deep in her heart shattered.
The tears she'd just held back burst out uncontrollably, streaming down her face like pearls scattering.
Her voice cracked, trembling like a lost child in a blizzard:
"Why… why don't you want Rongrong anymore…?"
"Why don't you love me…?"
Those words pierced Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and Bone Douluo like invisible blades.
Love?
How could they not love her?
She was their treasure.
The light of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
The pearl of three generations' affection.
But that very love…
Had become a poisonous seed.
The fuse to their Sect's destruction.
Ning Fengzhi's chest felt tight—painful enough to suffocate.
But he could not let his affection doom tens of thousands in the Sect.
He could not let one Ning Rongrong sever the heritage of countless generations.
So he wrapped his raging grief behind a cold, merciless mask.
Sword Douluo's eyes, clearer and deeper after achieving his sword heart, held only lifeless calm.
He saw the cause.
He saw the consequences.
He saw the only hope.
And that hope…
Required severing this bond.
He stepped farther back.
Half a step.
But final.
The Titan Giant Ape Lost Its Patience
"ROOOOAR!!!"
A deafening roar shattered their suffocating silence.
The Titan Giant Ape finally protested being ignored.
First it was sneak-attacked.
Then these tiny humans just… started performing a family tragedy in front of it?!
The roar echoed like thunder.
But—
To Ning Fengzhi, it was gasoline thrown onto a wildfire.
The last thread of reason in his mind snapped.
He slowly turned his head.
His eyes were bloodshot.
His expression twisted.
All elegance vanished.
Only madness remained.
"Damn animal…"
Ning Fengzhi's voice grated like metal scraping metal as he jabbed a trembling finger at the mountain-sized beast.
"WHAT ARE YOU ROARING FOR?!"
His voice cracked from rage, hysterical.
And he spun toward Sword and Bone Douluo like a madman:
"UNCLE SWORD!! UNCLE BONE!!"
"TEAR IT APART FOR ME!!!"
"YES, SECT MASTER!!"
Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo's repressed agony ignited instantly.
Killing intent erupted like a volcanic explosion.
They lunged forward without hesitation.
They needed to vent.
To rage.
To destroy something—anything.
And the Titan Giant Ape…
Was perfect.
Ning Fengzhi raised his hands.
The eight-story pagoda soared into the sky—its dazzling eight-colored radiance burning like a celestial sun.
He poured everything into it.
All his spirit power.
All his despair.
All his wrath.
As for Ning Rongrong—
Still dazed, tear-stained, trembling behind him?
He didn't look at her even once.
Rongrong's World Collapses… Then Shifts
Ning Rongrong stared blankly at the incredible sight—
An eight-storied pagoda!
The legendary evolution of their Sect's Martial Soul!
The impossible—
Realized before her eyes!
In that moment—
Shock
Relief
Joy
Pride
All burst out from her heart.
Father's Martial Soul…
Actually evolved!
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's thousand-year dream…
Was accomplished!
But Tang San Had His Own Crisis
Tang San snapped back to reality.
"Three seniors! Xiao Wu! Please—save Xiao Wu first!"
He was convinced—
With their connection to Ning Rongrong
With no cost to them
With two Titled Douluo present—
Saving Xiao Wu would be easy.
He stepped forward urgently.
This was reasonable. Logical.
But he failed to see—
This was the worst possible moment to speak.
Ning Fengzhi didn't even glance at him.
He only let out a cold, mocking sound—
"Save her?"
Then a low, deranged laugh spilled out.
"Heh…"
"Hehehe… hahahahaha!"
"If I save her… who will save my Ning family?!"
"GET. LOST."
The final shout blasted Tang San's mind into blankness.
A Battle That Wasn't Really a Battle
Ning Rongrong finally sensed something horribly wrong.
This… this wasn't her father's usual precise support.
This wasn't Grandpa Sword's sharp, world-breaking swordsmanship.
This wasn't Grandpa Bone's meticulous defense and control.
This was—
Chaos.
Rage.
Spiritual self-harm.
Her father poured buffs endlessly—wasting spirit power wildly.
Sword Douluo's sweeping attacks wasted over half their strength.
Bone Douluo charged like a berserk beast.
Tang San's voice cracked:
"Flender… why are they fighting like this?"
Flender and Zhao Wuji exchanged a horrified look.
They had already realized—
Sword and Bone Douluo were not even targeting weak points.
They were simply—
Dumping spirit power.
Like venting all their despair on the Titan Giant Ape.
Zhao Wuji couldn't help shouting:
"School Master Ning! If you fight like this—you'll burn out your spirit power too quickly—!"
"SHUT UP!!!"
Ning Fengzhi suddenly roared, turning his hell-red eyes toward Zhao Wuji.
The murderous aura in his gaze made Zhao Wuji's legs go weak.
"Say ONE MORE WORD—"
"And I'll kill you myself!!"
