Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Spinning Top, Explosive Warrior

Immediately afterwards, he released his aura again, attempting to suppress the small firebird.

However, the next second, Sword Douluo's expression changed.

The golden-red flames were incredibly fierce, tearing apart the pressure he was releasing and burning straight towards his face!

"this--"

Sword Douluo and Ning Fengzhi behind him both changed color and almost simultaneously rushed backward.

The flames scorched just three inches in front of Sword Douluo before coming to a stop.

Wang Teng knew when to stop, and with a thought, he dispelled the summoning of the sacred beast.

The private room was quiet for a moment.

Sword Douluo steadied himself, stared at Wang Teng for a long while, and finally the contempt in his eyes faded, replaced by a hint of seriousness. He said, "What powerful flames."

"Kid, what kind of fire is that?"

Wang Teng straightened up, met the gaze with neither humility nor arrogance, and replied, "Replying to Senior, it is the Ultimate Fire."

"Ultimate Fire?"

Ning Fengzhi finally spoke, his tone clearly showing interest, and asked, "What is this saying? I have never heard of it in all my years of life."

Wang Teng raised his chin slightly, his tone calm yet confident, and said, "As the name suggests, the ultimate fire is a flame that can only be obtained after pushing the fire attribute to its extreme."

"As for why no one had heard of it before—"

Wang Teng paused, met their gazes, and continued, "That's because I'm the first Soul Master to cultivate the fire attribute to its ultimate level."

After he finished speaking, the private room fell silent again.

Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo exchanged a glance, both seeing surprise in each other's eyes.

A moment later, Ning Fengzhi suddenly smiled.

That smile was warm and gentle, like a spring breeze and rain, and all the previous scrutiny and probing dissipated.

"well."

Ning Fengzhi strode forward, patted Wang Teng on the shoulder, and said with undisguised admiration, "That girl Rongrong has good taste."

Wang Teng felt relieved and bowed, saying, "Junior Wang Teng formally greets Sect Master Ning."

"Heh, what's with the title 'Sect Master'?"

Ning Fengzhi waved his hand, sat down in the chair, and said with a smile, "Just call me Uncle Ning."

"Sit down, everyone sit down."

Sword Douluo also dropped his cold expression and sat down to the side, but his gaze still occasionally fell on Wang Teng, as if he was reassessing the young man's worth.

Ning Fengzhi glanced at Steward Ning, who was still standing at the door, and waved his hand: "Ning Jiu, you still need to keep an eye on the auction today. Go and get busy."

Manager Ning bowed and replied, "Yes, Sect Master, I shall take my leave."

Manager Ning withdrew, and the door to the private room closed gently.

Only three people remained in the private room.

The noise outside the window drifted in faintly, but inside the room it was so quiet you could hear your own breathing.

Wang Teng sat in his chair, but he knew in his heart that the real conversation had only just begun.

The private room was quiet for a moment. None of the three of them rushed to speak, but simply sipped their fragrant tea slowly.

Wang Teng took a sip and glanced at the two people opposite him out of the corner of his eye.

Ning Fengzhi looked relaxed, as if he were really just drinking tea.

Sword Douluo sat upright like a pine tree, but his gaze would occasionally sweep over him, as if he were reconsidering something.

After a short while, Wang Teng, being younger, became impatient and put down his teacup, speaking first.

"Uncle Ning, the reason I came here this time is actually to inquire about bat-type soul beasts through the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's channels."

Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi's lips curled up slightly.

It's normal for young people to be impatient.

So Ning Fengzhi stopped pretending, put down his teacup, and looked at Wang Teng.

However, his tone was now more formal than before.

"Wang Teng, it's true that you and Rongrong are classmates."

"Rongrong and you can barely be considered lovers right now, which is barely acceptable."

Ning Fengzhi paused for a moment, then continued, "However, as things stand, you are not actually a disciple of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School yet."

"Then let me ask you, from what standpoint are you making demands of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo both stared directly at Wang Teng.

"Besides, even if you and Rongrong are in a relationship—Wang Teng, what makes you think you can convince me to marry Rongrong to you?"

Upon hearing this, Sword Douluo's gaze also turned towards him.

Two gazes fell on Wang Teng, like two invisible guillotines.

Wang Teng raised an eyebrow slightly, neither dodging nor avoiding the question, and directly retorted, "Doesn't that extreme fire just now demonstrate my potential?"

"This one……"

Ning Fengzhi was speechless for a moment.

He had just asked that question casually, to test Wang Teng.

But now, after being questioned by Wang Teng, Ning Fengzhi's words seemed somewhat untenable.

Ning Fengzhi remained silent for a moment, but Sword Douluo interrupted, saying in a calm and unhurried tone, "Boy, it's not enough."

"That ultimate fire has never been revealed before, so your future is uncertain."

"Furthermore, you should know that Rongrong is the next sect leader of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."

"If you want to marry her, what you've shown isn't enough."

Upon hearing this, Wang Teng fell silent.

He stroked his chin, his mind racing with calculations.

Chapter 233 Wang Teng's Physical Fitness

Is it that you lack both strength and potential...?

It seems we should take this opportunity to further advance our relationship with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

We can't talk about the immortal herb right now, so all we can offer is that.

A moment later, Wang Teng raised his head, looked at Ning Fengzhi, and said, "Uncle Ning, do you know that the age limit of my second soul ring is actually nine hundred years?"

"I know that."

Ning Fengzhi nodded and said, "From the letter Rongrong sent back, I heard that it was caused by you absorbing that kid Ma Hongjun's evil fire, combined with the mutation of your martial soul?"

"Why are you suddenly bringing this up—"

"Uncle Ning."

Wang Teng's tone became serious as he explained, "Actually, the problem with the age limit of my second soul ring is not because I absorbed the fat man's evil fire."

"I can tell you very clearly that when a Soul Master absorbs a Soul Ring, they can significantly increase the Soul Ring's age."

Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo's expressions changed instantly.

It was a kind of brightness that was almost luminous.

"What...what did you say?"

Ning Fengzhi almost instinctively grabbed Wang Teng's sleeve, his voice tightening as he asked, "Is this really true?"

"Of course it's true."

Wang Teng let him hold his sleeve and said with certainty, "So, Uncle Ning, I used this secret to help the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School improve its strength. Is that enough merit to marry Rongrong?"

Wang Teng paused, giving Ning Fengzhi some time to process the information.

After a while, he continued, "Furthermore, breaking through the age limit and absorbing a soul ring can enhance a soul master's potential."

"In addition to the ultimate fire, my strength and potential should meet the requirements of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."

After saying that, Wang Teng stopped talking and just looked at Ning Fengzhi quietly, waiting for his response.

Ning Fengzhi stared at Wang Teng for a long while, then suddenly let go of his hand and burst into laughter.

"Hahahaha!"

The laughter was so hearty that it echoed in the private room, startling several birds outside the window into fluttering away.

"Good lad, you're something else!"

He patted Wang Teng on the shoulder and praised him, "You, a Soul Master who came from an ordinary hunter background, actually managed to research something so earth-shattering?"

After laughing a few times, Ning Fengzhi quickly composed himself.

He stared intently at Wang Teng and asked, "Tell me, how did you do that?"

"How did you manage to break through the age limit and absorb a spirit ring?"

Wang Teng didn't keep anyone in suspense and explained directly: "Uncle Ning, actually, when a Soul Master absorbs a Soul Ring of a higher age, of course, I'm mainly talking about those below ten thousand years, the key lies in the Soul Master's physical qualities."

"The reason why my method can enable Soul Masters to break through the age limit is simply to enhance their physical fitness."

"Improve physical fitness?"

Sword Douluo looked on in disbelief and said, "This works?"

"How did they do that? Can it be widely adopted?"

Ning Fengzhi pressed on, speaking faster than usual.

"The method is to take whale gelatin."

Wang Teng spoke frankly and continued to explain to the two of them: "Whale glue can improve the physical fitness of a Soul Master."
