Douluo Dalu: Immortal Dragon Clan

Chapter 140 Thunder Punishment Ancient Dragon
A few days ago, after Chen Ming broke through to level 97, he immediately returned to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School. Ning Zhifeng was overjoyed to see this. At the same time, he also successfully broke through the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda and became an 81-level support-type Soul Master.

Although his soul power limit will only reach level 91 in the future, it will be enough to lead the sect to compete with the royal family and the Body Sect.

Upon entering the secret room, Ning Zhifeng looked at Chen Ming, who seemed to have been reborn, and sincerely praised him: "Grandpa Chen, you look radiant after returning from this trip."

In the past, although Chen Ming showed signs of being as sharp as ever, he also gave people a sense of being powerless. But at this moment, Ning Zhifeng seemed to see Grandpa Chen from his childhood memories again, who was still sharp and spirited, like a sharp blade that inspired awe.

"Hahahaha." Chen Ming smiled and stroked his beard as he listened to Ning Zhifeng's praise, saying, "This breakthrough has made me feel as if I have been reborn. Now, even if I unleash my full power, I may not be able to defeat Du Busi, but he will also find it difficult to defeat me easily!"

The dragon soul and pills not only strengthened his martial soul and soul power, but also greatly enhanced his physical body, with terrifying effects.

"In this way, we do indeed have the strength to take a few pieces of flesh from that old bandit, Poison Undying." Ning Zhifeng gritted his teeth with hatred when he thought of the ugly faces of Poison Undying and the royal family.

They felt that the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School was already at its last gasp, so they prepared to take action against them. In the end, they ended up getting themselves into trouble. Especially now that the royal family is facing a turbulent period, it is possible that if they are not careful, the country could change hands.

“However,” Chen Ming said, “the Holy Lord does not want the Heavenly Soul Royal Family to change hands. Xiao Feng, you should understand that.”

“I understand, of course.” Ning Zhifeng nodded in response. He clearly remembered the Holy Lord’s order—to create a three-way balance of power within the Heavenly Soul Empire, with each side checking and balancing the others. Although he didn’t know why the Holy Lord had made such an arrangement, as a treasure-hunting beast, he had to obey the order.

Seeing that Ning Zhifeng understood, Chen Ming smiled with relief. He had been worried that Ning Zhifeng would forget his roots after getting some opportunities, and if that were the case, he would have no choice but to put righteousness above family ties.

After all, it's all for the Holy Lord!
"By the way!" Ning Zhifeng looked around warily, afraid that the discussion would be overheard, and then couldn't help but ask, "Why does Young Master Lei Ze have the personality of the Holy Lord inside him?"

This has always been his biggest question: how could two completely different personalities exist within one person? It's truly unbelievable.

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed in Chen Ming's eyes. He was not surprised that Ning Zhifeng had raised this question, but rather amazed that the Holy Lord had already anticipated that Ning Zhifeng would have this question.

He secretly admired him, saying, "Your Majesty is truly a visionary!"

After a moment's thought, under Ning Zhifeng's curious gaze, Chen Ming explained, "Young Master Lei Ze has been weak and sickly since childhood. It's not that he's physically weak, but rather that his body is too fragile to withstand the powerful force of the martial spirit within him. If it cannot be effectively controlled, his internal organs will be destroyed by the martial spirit."

"What kind of martial soul is this?" Ning Zhifeng's mouth dropped open. He had never heard of such a domineering martial soul that could actually backfire on its host.

Chen Ming took a deep breath and continued, "The Thunder Punishment Ancient Dragon possesses a powerful ancient dragon martial soul that controls the power of thunder punishment. Its power surpasses that of Young Master Mo Yan and Young Master Jin Tianming. Because it is too domineering, Young Master Lei Ze simply cannot withstand it."

"His body has been on the verge of collapse. From the moment he awakened his martial soul, he stepped into the edge of life and death. Therefore, Young Master Lei Ze's parents went to the Holy Lord and begged him to help them."

At this point, Chen Ming deliberately kept everyone in suspense and asked in return, "Xiao Feng, no help is ever given for free. What do you think the Holy Lord took from Young Master Lei Ze after agreeing to help?"

Ning Zhifeng stroked his chin, lost in thought. Ning Tian really hadn't told her father this secret; the leak was so obvious.
Recalling the cowardly and timid appearance of Young Master Lei Ze, Ning Zhifeng tentatively answered, "Courage?" "That's right!" Chen Ming was quite satisfied with Ning Zhifeng's answer and nodded before continuing to explain.

"The Holy Lord did not simply take away Young Master Lei Ze's courage, but rather used this opportunity to transform a portion of his own power into courage and seal it within Young Master Lei Ze's body. This power formed a second personality within him, achieving a delicate balance with the Thunder Punishment Ancient Dragon Martial Soul."

"And the Holy Lord's personality is the embodiment of Young Master Lei Ze's courage. Only when Young Master Lei Ze completely regains his courage can he truly control the authority and power of the Thunder Punishment Ancient Dragon Martial Soul."

"So, Xiao Feng, we have another important task!" Chen Ming's expression turned extremely serious as he slowly said, "Help Young Master Lei Ze regain his courage and truly control his martial soul. If he continues to be dominated by the derived courage personality, he will never be able to master the true power of his martial soul!"

"I never imagined there could be such terrifying methods in the world!" Ning Zhifeng gasped. If that was the case, it would further demonstrate the power and terror of the Thunder Punishment Ancient Dragon Martial Soul. No wonder the Holy Lord was able to unleash such terrifying thunder punishment through the body of Young Master Lei Ze that day.

“I understand, Grandpa Chen!” Ning Zhifeng finally made up his mind. From the moment he joined the family, he had to put the family’s interests and responsibilities first. With the family’s protection, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School would not be easily destroyed, so he did not need to worry about it too much.

In everything, you must distinguish between primary and secondary matters!

That's why he brought Lei Ze along for today's negotiations. At this moment, Lei Ze followed behind Chen Ming and Ning Zhifeng with a reluctant expression.

Despite his inner resistance, he knew that this was a requirement from the original body, so he had no right to refuse and could only silently follow along.

The moment Poison Undying saw Chen Ming and Ning Zhifeng, everyone immediately sensed something was wrong.

The Golden Body Douluo couldn't help but look at the Poison Undying Sect Master and said in disbelief, "Sect Master, Chen Ming's cultivation seems to have improved."

He used to think that Chen Ming was just like him, but now he felt a sense of danger from him!

"I know!" Poison Immortal nodded with a serious expression, but his gaze fell on Ning Zhifeng. He sensed that Ning Zhifeng's aura had changed drastically. Compared to Chen Ming's progress, Ning Zhifeng's change surprised him even more!
Ning Zhifeng had been stuck at level 79, but in just one week, he broke through to level 81.

What is this concept?
This is no ordinary breakthrough. Although the Seven Treasure Glazed Glass Martial Soul is the strongest support Martial Soul, it has a major flaw - those who awaken this Martial Soul cannot break through level 79 to enter the Soul Douluo state. But now Ning Zhifeng has successfully broken through. What does this mean?
Ning Zhifeng has probably already led the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School to align itself with that reclusive family, which is the last thing Du Busi wanted to see.

Once this happens, the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile School will have the qualifications to compete with all other forces, and will be even more terrifying than him and the Heavenly Soul Royal Family!
"Things are really getting complicated." Poison Undying thought to himself, and couldn't help but look at Vina. He was still a little curious about how this little princess would solve the problem. If she succeeded, he really wouldn't recommend training her for the position of sect leader, given her twin martial soul talent.

If he also possessed a brilliant mind, he would surely be able to easily surpass Aotian by a large margin!

　Help the author think of a name for this ancient dragon. The name "Lei Yao" was just something I came up with on the spot, and I don't think it's anything special. Let me see if you have any better names.

　　I'm terrible at naming things.
