Douluo Continent: From Seven Treasure Glazed Tile to Crescent Moon's Solemnity

Chapter 106 Arranged Marriage | Negotiation

"Yu Yuanzhen's grandson versus the old poison master's beloved disciple, tsk tsk, this is indeed something to look forward to." Bone Douluo said with a smile, "I'm more optimistic about Yu Yuanzhen's grandson. The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul is so powerful that there may not be many Martial Souls in the entire Douluo Continent that can match it."

Yu Tianheng's Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Martial Soul is the number one offensive beast Martial Soul on the continent.

Although it has the prefix "Beast Martial Soul" added, it is only the first among beast martial souls. In the entire category of offensive martial souls, it is no match for the Clear Sky Hammer, the direct descendant martial soul of the Clear Sky Sect.

But that is definitely an extremely powerful martial soul.

Those are all achievements earned one by one by the direct descendants of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Sect, which have already proven their worth.

This proves that the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Martial Soul is not just a name without substance!

Although the Crescent Moon Divine Weapon, a martial spirit from Asia and Africa, appears quite peculiar and powerful, he is the only one who possesses it.

Moreover, the Crescent Moon Divine Weapon's record is still limited to low-level Soul Master duels.

The strength of a martial soul is demonstrated by its battle record. Your current martial soul has not yet produced any high-level soul masters, nor does it have any battle record. So, what makes you think your martial soul is very powerful?

It's like a game strategy. You only seem good at smurfing in low-ranked games, but you haven't tried it in high-ranked games. How can you say that your strategy is the best way to win?

Before Ning Feiliu's famous Gem Sword Saint strategy appeared in high-ranking matches and professional games and dominated the scene, it was only played in low-ranking matches, and many people thought that this strategy was just for smurfing.

Do I really want to reach a high score?

They'd definitely get slaughtered.

As a result, not only did their win rate become extremely high in high-elo games, leading to everyone banning these two heroes, but they also appeared in several matches, completely dominating the opposing professional players.

It was only then that everyone realized something was wrong.

The authorities immediately weakened this tactic.

Similarly, Ning Feiliu's Crescent Moon Divine Weapon Martial Soul is the same; currently, only he possesses this Martial Soul, and he is invincible at the low-level Soul Master level.

Although everyone felt that this martial soul was very powerful, compared to a renowned martial soul like the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex...

That must mean that deep down they felt the Crescent Moon Divine Weapon might not be as good as the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Martial Soul.

In particular, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Martial Soul has a growth buff of complete dragon transformation in the later stages, which is equivalent to the Justice Angel being upgraded to level sixteen. When it grows up in the later stages, it becomes ridiculously strong.

Most importantly, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex Martial Soul is not weak in the early stages. It is a lightning-attribute dragon-shaped Martial Soul, which means extremely high burst damage combined with a powerful physique.

That completely disregards game balance.

"From what I can see, I have high hopes for Mr. Dugu's disciple," Ning Fengzhi said with a smile. "His combat experience and keen sense of smell are unmatched by ordinary soul masters... I really don't know who he is. His outstanding combat ability makes it seem as if he has already experienced countless battles at such a young age."

He was quite moved; Ning Feiliu's combat experience and intuition were indeed beyond the reach of ordinary soul masters.

After all, Ning Feiliu had gained Jax's martial arts and Sett's fighting skills through experience, even though the Crescent Moon Divine Weapon was different from the weapons they used in battle.

After all, Jax uses a longsword (before he went to fight in the Void Wars, he hadn't used lampposts as his weapons), while Sett fights bare-handed.

But in reality, if you master one method, you can master all methods. Whether it's martial arts or fighting skills, they are all about using your strengths to attack the enemy's weaknesses.

Therefore, Ning Feiliu's combat experience and intuition are truly unmatched by ordinary soul masters, even though many of her opponents are soul masters in their thirties or forties.

"Feng Zhi seems to think highly of this person," Bone Douluo said with a smile, stroking his beard.

"Hmm... he's incredibly strong and talented, and for some reason, I always feel an irresistible urge to get close to him," Ning Fengzhi said. "With such talent and strength, just a little bit of resources allocated to him, he'll definitely become a Title Douluo before he's seventy!"

At this moment, the youngest known Title Douluo on the Douluo Continent is Tang Hao, who became a Title Douluo at the age of forty-four after consuming the soul ring of his deceased wife, Ah Yin, who was sacrificed.

Most other Title Douluo broke through to the Title Douluo level only after years of hard work.

Even Sword Douluo Chen Xin, whose talent is top-tier among Title Douluos, was admitted by Bone Douluo that his talent was inferior to Sword Douluo's.

However, the original story says that he broke through to level 92 of soul power when he was 72 years old, and then spent more than ten years to reach level 96 of soul power.

Going back further, breaking through to level 90 in soul power usually happens around the age of 70.

Therefore, Ning Fengzhi's statement that Ning Feiliu would break through to the Title Douluo level before the age of seventy already shows that he has high hopes for Ning Feiliu.

"The key is that this person's martial soul is extremely powerful, possessing control, explosive power, and speed..." Bone Douluo was genuinely puzzled, "but it feels very similar to our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, the martial soul of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School..."

"I feel the same way. Doesn't this further prove that he's a good fit for our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?" Ning Fengzhi said with a smile.

"And his age is actually not much different from Rongrong's..." he said quietly.

After all, the future sect leader's spouse of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has always been a desirable match for talented soul masters.

Ning Fengzhi's marriage was similar. Although he didn't particularly like the girl, he still followed his father's wishes and married her.

This is why, in order to have a child with good talent, he disregarded his wife's health and made her keep having one child after another.

(Since we couldn't find any loving wife behavior from Ning Fengzhi in the original story, we simply portrayed him as a cold-blooded and heartless man who would do anything for his child and had little affection for the original owner's mother. This makes Ning Rongrong's mother's early death a reasonable explanation, and indeed, excessive childbirth in feudal times could lead to health problems for the mother.)

"Are you trying to match Rongrong with this Asian guy? But isn't the age gap too big?" Bone Douluo frowned. He still felt sorry for Ning Rongrong and regarded her as his own granddaughter.

"Thirteen years old is only six years older than seven, and this is a responsibility that Rongrong must shoulder." Ning Fengzhi shook his head and said, "This is something that one must bear as the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."

Upon hearing this, Bone Douluo sighed and fell silent.

But they probably never expected that... Yafei's true identity was actually Ning Fengzhi's son, Ning Feiliu.

Ning Fengzhi's idea was destined to fail.

"However, Yafei is Master Dugu's top disciple. To persuade Yafei, he'll probably have to get past Master Dugu himself," Ning Fengzhi said. "It seems... Yafei is also quite close to Master Dugu's granddaughter..."

This was something that left him somewhat helpless.

He was unwilling to offend Dugu Bo, but he was also envious of "Yafei," a future titled Douluo with great talent.

"It's too early to say. Rongrong is still a child. If we wait until she grows up and becomes a beautiful young woman, she will definitely charm all of Asia and Africa," Bone Douluo said with a smile.

He was quite confident in Ning Rongrong; he believed that men would definitely fall for such a cute and beautiful granddaughter.

"Let's take another look then," Ning Fengzhi said with a smile.

……

But on the other hand...

Ning Feiliu parted ways with Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling again, and he planned to go to a secluded corner to remove his mask, change his clothes, and then go back.

A man dressed in Spirit Hall attire and wearing the Spirit Hall emblem suddenly appeared in front of him.

"Young friend from Asia and Africa, may I have a chat with you for a few minutes?" the man said with a smile.

"You are..." Ning Feiliu frowned and asked.

"Sam, the Red-Clad Deacon of the Spirit Hall," the man introduced himself with a smile.

Ning Feiliu only began to become familiar with the true structure of the Spirit Hall after arriving in this world.

People in Douluo Continent like to use the colors of spirit rings to represent so-called social ranks. For example, the Heaven Dou Grand Auction House uses white, yellow, purple, black, and red. White represents the lowest-ranking VIP, while red represents the most distinguished VIP with the highest wealth.

The Spirit Hall operates in the same way. The lowest-ranking Spirit Hall personnel are deacons, followed by bishops, elders, honorees, and finally, the Pope.

Deacons and bishops are distinguished by the color of their robes, such as white, yellow, purple, black, and red. The highest-ranking bishop is the Platinum Bishop. In addition, there are badges on their chests that indicate their cultivation level.

As for the famous blind Douluo Tao Ge Su Yuntao in the original story, he wore a white butler's uniform, which means that he was the lowest-ranking white-robed butler.

Meanwhile, on their left chests, there is a badge engraved with the symbol of the Soul Master category, and the number of items on it represents the Soul Power level.

In the original storyline, the badge on Brother Tao's chest featured three intertwined longswords. The number three represented the third-rank title of a Soul Master, Great Soul Master, while the longswords signified a Battle Soul Master.

The Spirit Hall steward in front of me, who calls himself Sam, is not only the highest-ranking red-robed steward, but the five longswords crisscrossing on his chest badge prove that he is a Soul Master with the cultivation of a Soul King!

"The Spirit Hall? What brings you here?" Ning Feiliu asked, becoming slightly wary.

"Young friend, I've come on the behalf of Bishop Salas to ask if you'd be interested in joining our Spirit Hall?" Sam said with a smile.

"Join the Spirit Hall?" Ning Feiliu frowned.

Did I not expect the Spirit Hall to have its eye on him?

And they even brazenly invited him to join the Spirit Hall?

To be honest, he had never thought about joining the Spirit Hall before.

It's not that I never considered joining the Spirit Hall; it's that I never even considered it.

It's like saying you wanted to immigrate to Japan in your past life—something you never even considered, but suddenly someone comes along and invites you...

Ning Feiliu was indeed a little confused.

After all, his true identity is a direct disciple of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and the son of the school's leader, Ning Fengzhi!

This is something I would never normally even think about.

"How is it?" Sam asked again with a smile.

Ning Feiliu quickly calmed down and said, "I already have a teacher, I'm sorry."

Even if he is the son of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's sect leader, his status as Dugu Bo's student would not allow him to join the Spirit Hall.

"We know that, of course, but Bishop Salas has said that as long as you are willing to join our Spirit Hall, it is possible for us to have our elders or even the Pope take you as a disciple," Sam said with some envy.

"Possibly?" Ning Feiliu was both amused and exasperated, especially when Sam said that their Pope, Bibi Dong, might take him as a disciple.

His expression behind the mask became quite strange.

"Very likely," Sam quickly said. "Young friend, you know that since your talent has won the favor of Poison Douluo and our Spirit Hall, the elders would certainly be happy to take you as their disciple. Even our Pope is very fond of talent, so it's possible that His Holiness the Pope would personally take you as a disciple."

Ning Feiliu chuckled, unsure of what to say.

However, when Sam mentioned Bibi Dong, it instantly snapped him out of his daze.

Putting aside the benefits of joining the Spirit Hall, the Spirit Hall's mess is even more troublesome than the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, so he would never join.

Moreover, joining the Spirit Hall would be tantamount to betraying his teacher, Dugu Bo.

He certainly wouldn't do something so ungrateful.

"No need. I already have a master. A teacher for a day is a father for life. I will never betray my sect," Ning Feiliu waved her hand and said calmly.

"Oh? Young friend from Asia and Africa... A good bird chooses a good tree to perch on. Our Spirit Hall is so powerful, are we not as good as Poison Douluo?" Sam frowned and said again.

"What? Threatening me?" Ning Feiliu looked at Sam calmly, but in fact, the soul power within his body was already surging and ready to be unleashed.

He was actually quite wary that Sam might suddenly retaliate.

Although this place is in the city center of Tiandou City.

But if Sam were to suddenly retaliate, he would still be in great danger.

However... although Sam is a Soul King-level Soul Master, he is currently only a Soul Venerable. But with his two trump card blessing skills, [Summoning of the God of Forging] and [Summoning of the God of Ice and Snow], he may not be instantly killed!

Ning Feiliu still has the strength to fight, and his Ruyi Treasure Pouch even contains a highly venomous snake, the Nine-Section Jadeite.

However, Sam looked at him indifferently and said, "You jest. Since you are not willing to join our Spirit Hall, then I will take my leave."

He was also blinded by Ning Feiliu's reply, after all, this was the bustling city center of Tiandou City.

If a fight were to break out here, alerting the Heavenly Dou City enforcement team, even a Soul King wouldn't fare well.

"Take care, don't bother seeing me out." Ning Feiliu was still on guard, and simply said to Sam in a calm tone.

Sam no longer showed any politeness and, in a few quick movements, disappeared from Ning Feiliu's sight.

Ning Feiliu finally breathed a sigh of relief, but he frowned. "The Spirit Hall has already set its sights on me... There's nothing I can do about it. It seems that forging a defensive soul tool needs to be put on the agenda sooner."

I got back from the barbecue a little late == Oh well, I'll just consider yesterday a day off.
