Douluo: Blue Lightning Dominates the World, Fist Douluo

Chapter 118 Ning Rongrong Takes Control

They're both adults, and Ning Fengzhi didn't believe that Yu Yuanzhen could have done something so big without any ulterior motives.

If they really have no ulterior motives, why not just put the matter out in the open and make the deal public?

Why go through all that trouble?

Now that the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul has manifested in Ning Rongrong, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has already reaped the benefits, and they will probably have to pay a heavy price for it later.

Yu Yuanzhen smiled slightly, said nothing, but simply raised his hand and spread his five fingers to show his expression.

Seeing this, Ning Fengzhi breathed a sigh of relief.

"No problem, fifty million gold soul coins..."

Yu Yuanzhen was stunned for a moment, then shook his head repeatedly, interrupting Ning Fengzhi to continue.

"No, no, no, Sect Master Ning misunderstands. If it's only fifty million gold soul coins, we can't continue this conversation."

"This is the legendary Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, the one that can break the curse that prevents your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul from breaking through level 79."

"What? This almost legendary martial spirit is only worth fifty million gold soul coins in your heart, Sect Master Ning?"

Ning Fengzhi frowned slightly and sighed inwardly.

Sure enough, he knew things weren't that simple.

With a wry smile and a shake of his head, Ning Fengzhi looked helplessly at Yu Yuanzhen.

"Sect Master Yu, let's not beat around the bush. It's true that the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda is precious to our Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect."

"But 500 million gold soul coins is really unrealistic."

"Let alone whether my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School can come up with that much at once, even if we could, I'm afraid my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would have to sell everything we own."

"By then, the sects will have all fallen into decline. What will we need the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul for? Are we just going to keep it to benefit others?"

In Ning Fengzhi's eyes, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's limit was only the possibility of becoming a Title Douluo.

Five hundred million gold soul coins, if converted into resources, could cultivate countless titled Douluo.

If they were to truly empty their coffers and take out those 500 million gold soul coins, their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would probably be completely ruined.

Even if Ning Rongrong becomes a Title Douluo, so what?
Even a support-type titled Douluo, without his own power to maintain, still has to depend on others for survival.

By then, it's hard to say whether their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will still exist.

As a businessman, Ning Fengzhi was perfectly clear-headed.

Yu Yuanzhen laughed and said, "Sect Master Ning has misunderstood. Five hundred million gold soul coins is something that neither the Heaven Dou Empire nor the Star Luo Empire could possibly come up with at once."

"Even a 100,000-year-old soul bone is probably not worth 500 million gold soul coins. My Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is certainly not the kind of people who would ask for an exorbitant price."

"Fifty percent. My Blue Point Tyrannosaurus Rex Sect only needs fifty percent of the profits from your Seven Treasures Chamber of Commerce over thirty years."

Ning Fengzhi's pupils shrank sharply: "Impossible."

Without hesitation, Ning Fengzhi directly refused.

Given the Seven Treasures Chamber of Commerce's ability to generate revenue, its annual net profit is definitely no less than 2000 million gold soul coins.

Fifty percent is 1000 million gold soul coins, and over thirty years it would be at least 3 million gold soul coins.

Although it's far less than 500 million gold soul coins, it's still an incredibly painful price to pay.

It's true that his Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School makes money, but his merchant guilds are spread throughout the entire Douluo Continent, and the manpower and resources spent on them are naturally enormous.

Putting everything else aside, social obligations and gifts are still necessary.

For example, if you don't give face to the nobles and gentlemen scattered throughout the continent, how can they possibly give you face?

For example, some Soul Masters may be short of money and want to borrow some from you to tide them over. Would you refuse to lend them money?
Although the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is the second largest sect in the world, not everyone will give it face.

In the Heaven Dou Empire, with Xue Ye opening the door to convenience, their Seven Treasures Merchant Guild could indeed make a fortune.

But in the Star Luo Empire, which is far from the emperor's reach, they basically rely on these personnel to maintain their power.

He couldn't possibly send a team of Soul Masters to fight just for a little bit of benefit; that's simply unrealistic.

Ultimately, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is essentially a sect that made its fortune through commerce, and it is fundamentally different from sects like the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon School, which rely on strength.

“Dad, I think it’s okay.” Just then, Ning Rongrong’s voice rang out from the side.

At this moment, the golden light emanating from her body had completely subsided, and she stood there quietly, holding up her Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda in her right hand.

A delicate tulip fragrance wafted from her, and the Nine-Treasure Glazed Pagoda in her hand shimmered with nine-colored light. The flowing light illuminated her graceful figure, making her look exceptionally extraordinary.

Confident, elegant, noble, otherworldly, like a fairy descended to earth, indescribably noble.

Ning Fengzhi was slightly stunned, and for a moment he didn't even recognize his own daughter.

"Rongrong, do you know what you're saying?"

Ning Rongrong smiled confidently and retrieved the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial spirit from her body.

"Of course I know, my dear father."

"It's just 50% of the profits from the Seven Treasures Chamber of Commerce over the next thirty years. Since Grandpa Yu wants it, let's just give it to him."

"Now I have broken the fate of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Soul Masters who cannot break through level 79, and I will surely advance to the Title Douluo realm in the future."

“Dad, you built such a large empire with your level 79 Soul Saint strength. Rongrong is confident that she is no less capable than you, and may even do better.” “Today’s investment is for even greater gains in the future.”

"Since you've already decided to cooperate, why are you still being so stingy and hesitant?"

"Little did we know that hesitation would only lead to more trouble. Now that my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has become the guardian sect of the Heaven Dou Empire, it is bound to be on the kill list of the Spirit Hall and the Star Luo Empire."

"The Heaven Dou Empire is too weak. Ordinary soldiers are basically useless in battles between Soul Masters. The Clear Sky Sect has long been crushed by the Spirit Hall and has been reduced to a rat in the shadows. It is no longer of any use."

"Therefore, the only one we can cooperate with in the world today is the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan."

"Unless you have other ideas, like abandoning the darkness and going to fawn over the Spirit Hall."

"With the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's ability to make money, we might even be able to become a good dog favored by its master..."

“Dad, you’re old now. You’re no longer the passionate and energetic person you used to be. You worry too much now and are hesitant to do things. This will only cause you to miss opportunities.”

"But it's okay, you still have me. Rongrong is still very young. You can listen to Rongrong's advice on matters within the sect in the future. Rongrong is no worse than you."

His heartfelt words stunned the entire audience.

Ning Fengzhi looked dazed. Recalling the past, he seemed to be just as Ning Rongrong had said, that he had grown old and was no longer able to do many things.

They worry too much about everything they do, and are always hesitant and timid.

How many years has it been? How many years has the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School stopped developing?

Over the years, all he has thought about is seeking stability, doing everything in his power to preserve the vast Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, even resorting to suppressing others and engaging in underhanded schemes.

Now, he may have long forgotten the eight words: "Sailing against the current, those who do not advance will retreat."

Shame and remorse overwhelmed Ning Fengzhi, and for a moment, he dared not look directly at his daughter.

The light emanating from Ning Rongrong was too bright; he worried it would pierce through his years of pretense and reveal the fact that he was already old and frail.

At the same time, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo's eyes lit up at Ning Rongrong's words.

At that moment, they seemed to see a young and confident Ning Fengzhi walking towards them.

This father and daughter are exactly alike, cut from the same mold.

The only difference is that Ning Fengzhi will feel anxious because he cannot break through level 79, and he will inevitably feel inferior and insecure when he encounters stronger opponents.

But Ning Rongrong will not. Having already earned a title, she will inevitably shine even brighter than Ning Fengzhi in the future.

Moreover, they also felt that Ning Fengzhi was too cowardly, having long lost the ambition, passion, and drive he had in his youth.

Many times, they even felt that Ning Fengzhi, who was only in his fifties, looked more like an old man than the two of them, who were in their eighties and nineties.

“Fengzhi, I think Rongrong is right. We old folks should listen to the opinions of the young people.”

Sword Douluo's voice rang out, subtly indicating his stance.

Bone Douluo nodded in agreement: "Feng Zhi, I also think Rongrong's opinion is correct."

"Money is an external thing; you can't take it with you when you're born, and you can't take it with you when you die. Even if you hoard too much, it's just a pile of useless garbage."

"The Spirit Hall has its Golden Generation, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan also has its Golden Generation, and the younger generations of the other sects that are not as good as us, as well as those advanced spirit master academies, are also very capable. The lowest level is a four-ring spirit master under the age of 20."

"And then there's the Haotian Sect, which has been living in seclusion for many years. It's hard to say how much strength they've accumulated over the years."

"In this thriving golden generation, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School naturally cannot remain complacent."

"We didn't compete before because our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School didn't have a pillar to support an era, but now we do."

Ning Fengzhi appeared dazed, his gaze constantly sweeping over Sword and Bone Douluo.

Seeing their determined gazes, just as they had willingly supported him back then, he couldn't help but smile bitterly and nod.

"Uncle Jian, Uncle Gu, you are right. I may really be getting old."

At this moment, Ning Fengzhi knew that his chances of winning were slim.

The tragedy of insufficient strength was that he was easily sidelined by Sword and Bone Douluo.

If he were also a Title Douluo, perhaps everything would be different.

However, there is still hope; Rongrong can fully inherit his will.

Moreover, she will inevitably become a Title Douluo in the future, and become the new sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School who surpasses herself.

With this in mind, Ning Fengzhi turned to look at Ning Rongrong beside him, straightened his expression, and patted her shoulder encouragingly.

"Rongrong, from this day forward, you will be the young sect master of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and the next sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."

"Now is the time to test you. Show them your full strength and connect with the members of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan. Let them see the splendor of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."

"You have complete authority over everything. The fate of everyone in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School rests entirely on your shoulders."

"How are you feeling? Are you under a lot of pressure? Are you confident you can complete it?"

Ning Rongrong smiled confidently and reached out to brush a strand of hair behind her ear.

"An absolutely brilliant decision."

"Dad, just you wait and see. I will definitely lead the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to a height that you can only dream of."

Ning Fengzhi looked slightly taken aback, then smiled warmly: "Okay, I'm looking forward to it."
