Douluo: Blue Lightning Dominates the World, Fist Douluo

Chapter 114 The Sword Douluo Who Will Never See the Light of Success
"Feng Zhi, what is this...?"

Bone Douluo stared at Ning Fengzhi in shock. Ning Fengzhi shook his head slightly, signaling him to calm down, and then opened the lead box in his hand without hesitation.

Instantly, azure lightning burst forth from the box, countless electric snakes converged, crackling and shooting out continuously, the flashing lightning instantly dyeing the entire room azure blue.

An unparalleled, surging aura emanated from it, instantly freezing the surrounding space.

After a long while, the lightning in the box gradually subsided, and everyone finally saw what was inside.

As expected, a perfectly intact right arm bone lay quietly inside, its entire body a deep blue, with faint liquid lightning flickering within. The powerful and violent energy fluctuations startled everyone present.

"Sect Leader Yu, are you satisfied with this gift?"

Yu Yuanzhen frowned slightly and looked at Ning Fengzhi in disbelief.

Not satisfied?
How can it be?

This is a ten-thousand-year-old soul bone with lightning attribute. Judging from the strength of its aura, it is at least a treasure of about fifty thousand years.

Even within the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Clan, this kind of thing would be enough to be passed down as a foundation of the sect.

So, of course I'm very satisfied.

"Haha, since Sect Master Ning is so magnanimous, then my Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Sect will naturally not be ambiguous either."

"Second brother, please accept this gift. Serve tea, the best tea."

Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi was slightly taken aback. This was what they called "no hesitation"? Serving the finest tea?
A 50,000-year-old lightning-attribute right arm bone was exchanged here for nothing more than a cup of fine tea?
Although he knew it was humiliating, Ning Fengzhi still shook his head with a wry smile and suppressed his anger once again.

Perhaps limited by his own strength, Ning Fengzhi, despite his high status, was ultimately unable to understand the way of thinking of the strong, given his level 79 Soul Saint strength.

Tolerance, tact, and the belief that harmony brings wealth—these are the secrets to his success in leading the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to grow stronger step by step.

As a businessman, Ning Fengzhi is definitely patient enough to wait.

Seeking immediate gains is not his style; he prefers to be resourceful and wait for the right opportunity.

Moreover, he came here seeking cooperation, and the sudden rise of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan made him both envious and extremely uneasy.

Even if cooperation cannot be achieved this time, we must resolve the conflict with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan to avoid being resented.

beat?
It's impossible to start a war over such a small matter; that's not in the spirit of business.

If they were to start wars so easily, their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would have been wiped out long ago, let alone any talk of development.

After all, all the combat-ready Soul Masters in their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School are from outside the family, so their loyalty is naturally inferior to that of a family-based Soul Master force like the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan.

Moreover, today's outcome is the result of a cause that occurred in the Sunset Forest more than a year ago.

For business people, as long as there is profit, they can endure things that ordinary people cannot.

Therefore, it's best to minimize major issues and resolve minor ones, and to resolve conflicts rather than perpetuate them. A harmonious outcome for everyone is truly the best outcome.

However, Ning Fengzhi was unaware that his repeated concessions had already caused the Sword Douluo beside him to frown.

If he keeps hiding his sword and retreating, when will his sword ever advance further?
A sword is only a sword when it is drawn from its sheath and reveals its sharpness.

Seven Kill Sword, Seven Kill Sword, killing is the essence.

Blindly hiding one's sword will only make it a useless fire poker.

In the original novel, Sword Douluo only broke through to level 97 when the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was destroyed, and the fundamental reason for this is this.

At that time, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had nowhere left to retreat, which is why they gave Sword Douluo the opportunity to fully display his talents.

Unconsciously, it became more compatible with his Seven Kill Sword Martial Soul, which is why he was able to break through level 97.

Now, with Ning Fengzhi repeatedly suppressing him, it seems even more distant for Sword Douluo to advance further. Yu Yuanzhen's expression shifted slightly; as someone who had been through it all, he had observed all the changes in Sword Douluo's aura.

A pang of regret welled up in my heart; this old rival's sword had become even duller.

Perhaps, as Tianlin said, the Spirit Hall will indeed be the greatest enemy of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's rise in the future...

Soon, Yu Luomian personally brought in tea containing a soul bone worth 50,000 years.

The service was impeccably attentive.

Even Ning Fengzhi, a titled Douluo, was receiving tea—this was the first time he had ever been treated like this.

But for some reason, this tea was so bitter; every sip was heartbreaking and painful.

Although the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is known for its immense wealth, Ning Fengzhi probably wouldn't be able to afford such expensive tea a second time in his life.

The bitter tea lingered in his mouth for a long time, and Ning Fengzhi was reluctant to swallow it, constantly telling himself to stop.

This tea isn't expensive; a titled Douluo personally serves it, and even a 50,000-year-old soul bone is just a handling fee.

Then, I felt even more heartbroken about drinking that tea.

After a long while, Ning Fengzhi reluctantly swallowed the tea in his mouth, forcibly suppressing his emotions and returning to his usual refined and easygoing demeanor.

He put down his teacup, a smile on his face, but his heart was bleeding as he looked at Yu Yuanzhen.

"Sect Master Yu, the tea is quite delicious, so let's get straight to the point."

"My purpose in coming here is threefold: first, to resolve the conflict we had in the Sunset Forest; second, to thank your sect for safely bringing my daughter Rongrong back; and third, to discuss cooperation between our two sects."

"Now that the Clear Sky Sect has been in seclusion for many years, the Spirit Hall's power on the continent is unparalleled. It is becoming increasingly difficult for our sects to develop. I think that it would be beneficial for us to return to friendship and strengthen cooperation."

"Sect Master Yu, what do you say?"

Yu Yuanzhen put down his teacup and nodded slightly: "Yes, Sect Leader Ning is right, I completely agree."

"Moreover, Sect Leader Ning's gift was so generous, it really shows his sincerity."

"Well then, since the conflict in Sunset Forest was just a momentary impulse of your sect and did not cause any serious consequences, it is fortunate that we can put it behind us today."

"As for Miss Ning Rongrong, these are just friendships between children, and I don't think there's any need to express special gratitude."

When the topic of the gift was brought up again, Ning Fengzhi's lips twitched violently. He was annoyed, but he still had to keep smiling.

Fortunately, two of the three things have been accomplished, even though they are the two least important ones, which is still a relief.

"Haha, Sect Master Yu is right. Let's talk about cooperation matters then."

"How about we set up our initial collaboration at the advanced Soul Master academies under our respective jurisdictions?"

"This way, we can send a message to the outside world that our two sects intend to join forces. First, we can see the reactions of other forces in the outside world. Second, it will not provoke any excessive actions from the Spirit Hall. Third, we can also modify the subsequent cooperation plan in a timely manner based on this information."

Upon hearing this, Yu Yuanzhen waved his hand.

"No rush, no rush, let's talk about cooperation later. Let's do a business deal first."

"Otherwise, once the cooperation is finalized, I'll feel comfortable asking for an exorbitant amount."

As he spoke, Yu Yuanzhen flipped his hand and took out a black box about a foot in size from his storage soul tool.

It was none other than the Zhuge Divine Crossbow that Yu Tianlin had brought back.
