After Tang Hao left, Sword Douluo, who had been patient for a long time, asked, "Rongrong, how did you know Tang Hao was injured?"
"Before coming to Nuoding City, I thoroughly reviewed all relevant information about Clear Sky Douluo."
"He repelled several Titled Douluo just after breaking through to Titled Douluo, and even severely injured the level 95 Supreme Pontiff Qian Xunji. It would be abnormal if he wasn't injured."
"I was also worried that Tang Hao might be a reckless man, which is why I mentioned that His Highness the Crown Prince wanted to become his Disciple."
"Dad, Grandpa Sword, was I a bit too presumptuous?"
"Rongrong, you did nothing wrong," Ning Fengzhi said. "Up until now, I hadn't had the resolve to break ties with Tang Hao."
"Fengzhi! You just worry too much." Sword Douluo chuckled softly. "But, perhaps that's why Old Bone and I value you!"
Then, Sword Douluo said to Ning Rongrong, "It's just a Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast. Without a ten thousand year soul bone, I am confident I can reach level 97 in my lifetime."
"As for Old Bone, who cares about him! Anyway, giving him a Soul Bone won't make much difference."
"Grandpa Sword, if you talk about Grandpa Bone like that, he'll get angry!" Ning Rongrong was quite helpless with the two Titled Elders sometimes acting like mischievous old men. The two had a very good relationship but often undermined each other.
"Hehe, angry? That's even better."
"I even hope he can improve by another level, otherwise it won't be fun enough to fight."
Ning Rongrong: "..."
In fact, Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo were not as disappointed as Ning Rongrong imagined.
Especially Ning Fengzhi, seeing Ning Rongrong's performance just now, he basically designated Ning Rongrong as the next Sect Master of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect.
A daughter so similar to me is much better than those empty-headed brats! And with Innately Full Spirit Power, she's very likely to Breakthrough the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda's limits. If not the Sect Master, what else could she be?
"Rongrong, does Shi Nian really have a Soul Bone over ten thousand years old?" Ning Fengzhi thought of the previous discussion about Soul Bones, and Sword Douluo beside him also turned his gaze to Ning Rongrong, both with questioning looks in their eyes.
"How should I put this!" Ning Rongrong scratched the back of her head and began to explain,
"I'm quite interested in the academy side. When I reviewed the information sent back, I found that among the Soul Master teams fighting against Canghui Academy, the more talented students often died inexplicably outside the arena, and their deaths were extremely bizarre."
"The information I obtained subtly pointed to a Spirit Saint named Shi Nian as the culprit, but his Martial Soul Abilities didn't match the students' death conditions. Therefore, I had someone collect more information about Canghui Academy."
"After summarizing the collected intelligence, I deduced that Shi Nian should have a mental-type Soul Bone of considerable age. With the intention of eliminating harm for the people, I simply had Clear Sky Douluo retrieve it as well," Ning Rongrong explained.
"So that's how it is." Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo nodded with relief.
Although, both of them vaguely felt that something wasn't quite right.
But was the truth important?
As long as Ning Rongrong was Ning Fengzhi's daughter of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, that clarity was enough.
Other things were irrelevant.
The three of them, each with their own thoughts, traveled around Nuoding City... A few days later.
Xiao Wu finally reached level 20.
As Xiao Wu and Tang San's teacher, the Disciple of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect who had infiltrated Notting Academy brought specific information to Ning Fengzhi.
After a brief tidy-up, the three began to follow the Ten Thousand Year Transformed Hooligan Rabbit.
"It's far enough from the academy. After I condense my second Soul Ring here, I'll go back and find Big Brother San." Not long after the whispered words fell, footsteps from afar caught Xiao Wu's attention.
"Who are you?"
The three, a young, a middle-aged, and an old person, walked over slowly, seemingly with ill intentions.
Immediately, Xiao Wu's vigilance skyrocketed.
"Nice to meet you, Ten Thousand Year Hooligan... uh, Ten Thousand Year Soft Bones Rabbit." Ning Rongrong looked at Xiao Wu, who was like a startled bird, a smile playing on her lips.
"I don't know what you're talking about." Xiao Wu's heart skipped a beat, and she argued with a choked voice. When her gaze fell on Sword Douluo, her pupils instantly contracted.
"Titled... Titled Douluo!"
Soul Rings rose one by one from beneath his feet, and that immense Soul Power, as a Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast, she instantly judged the strength of the old man before her.
"Hurry and condense your Soul Ring, Spicy Little Rabbit. We are not interested in your Soul Ring or Soul Bone. We will leave after you condense it." Ning Rongrong put her hand to her mouth, yawning as she spoke.
"Spa... Spicy?" Xiao Wu's eye twitched, but hearing the latter part of the sentence, she froze for a moment, her eyes wide, and she reacted, saying, "You're not going to kill me?"
"Hmm, why kill you? We are pacifists," Ning Rongrong said. "If you feel life is uninteresting and want to sacrifice yourself to contribute to the Douluo Continent, I can reluctantly accept."
"I won't sacrifice myself."
Only a ghost would sacrifice themselves!
I'd die before sacrificing myself; I'll never sacrifice myself for anyone in this life.
Xiao Wu retorted playfully, then felt it was a bit inappropriate, so she calmed her voice again and asked uncertainly, "You're just here to watch me condense my Soul Ring?"
"A hundred thousand year spirit ring and a ten thousand year soul bone, aren't you tempted at all?" Xiao Wu's tone actually carried a hint of curiosity.
"Hurry up and condense your Soul Ring." Several black lines appeared on Ning Rongrong's face. "If you keep talking, what if we get tempted, and you won't be able to leave? Always so curious, haven't you heard that curiosity killed the rabbit?"
"Uh, alright then." Although she was confused, who thought they had a long life ahead of them!
She still had to avenge her mother and couldn't die here.
She could only try her luck.
Xiao Wu slowly sat down cross-legged, calmed her mind, and began to condense her Soul Ring.
Strands of faint Soul Power emanated.
Spreading from inside out, it quickly attached to the position of her Soft Bones Rabbit Martial Soul.
The process of condensing the ring didn't last long, only about ten minutes.
"So that's how it is."
Having observed the direction of Xiao Wu's Soul Power flow, Ning Rongrong rested her chin on her hand, lost in thought.
Because they share the same origin, one simply transfers the energy stored within the body to the Martial Soul. During the transformation process, a Soul Ring structure is first built at the Martial Soul's location. This structure is related to physical strength and other factors.
Then, the Soul Power is placed into the constructed empty Soul Ring until it is full, and then it stabilizes.
The process of condensing a ring is somewhat different from True Qi, but it can be used as a reference to a certain extent.
At the location of Xiao Wu's Soft Bones Rabbit Martial Soul.
The empty area revealed the second hundred-year Soul Ring.
After condensing her Soul Ring, Xiao Wu stood up, her voice slightly timid:
"Three Seniors, the ring condensation is complete. Can I leave now?"
Xiao Wu was filled with anxiety, fearing that in the next second, she would be dismembered.
In Sword Douluo's hand, that large, chilling Seven Kill Sword, and the nine Soul Rings quietly arranged, were quite terrifying for a rabbit!
"Yes, you can go!"
After receiving Ning Rongrong's approval, Xiao Wu secretly glanced at Sword Douluo and saw that he didn't object.
With a "whoosh," wind rose beneath her feet,
Xiao Wu used her Spirit Ability, swiftly darting past the three of them from a distance, running with all her might towards Nuoding City.
"As expected of a rabbit, it runs really fast," Ning Rongrong exclaimed.
Then, she looked around, "Lord Tang Hao, are you still here?"
Not long after her voice fell, Tang Hao's figure emerged from his hidden spot.
"I will deliver the two Soul Bones within a month, and I hope you will keep your word." With that, Tang Hao turned and left.
