Douluo Continent: Martial Soul Spinning Top, Explosive Warrior

As Ning Rongrong went upstairs, she said, "Ordinary people can't come in, but Dad said you can browse freely."

The three of them went upstairs and arrived at the top floor of the library.

The space here is much smaller than downstairs, but the collection of books is even more valuable.

On the bookshelf against the wall, rows of ancient books are neatly arranged, some with yellowed spines, looking very old.

Wang Teng walked to the bookshelf and scanned the spines of the books one by one.

"Illustrated Compendium of Soul Beasts", "Complete Compendium of Herbs", "Records of Mineral Resources", "Study on the Age Limits of Soul Rings", "The Theory of Martial Soul Evolution"...

A wide variety of books covering all aspects of Soul Master cultivation.

"You all keep an eye on things, I'll go and have someone make a pot of tea."

Ning Rongrong smiled and said something before turning and going downstairs.

Zhu Zhuqing walked to another row of bookshelves, took out a book, and quietly began to read.

Wang Teng sat down by the window, sunlight streaming through the window and falling on the pages of his book. He lowered his head and began to read attentively.

Bone Douluo appeared outside the door at some point, leaning against the wall with his eyes closed, seemingly dozing off, but in reality protecting them.

In the following days, Wang Teng practically treated the library as his second home.

Every morning, just as dawn breaks, he goes to the library, chooses a seat by the window, opens his books, and sits there all day.

The sunlight moved from east to west, and the light outside the window gradually dimmed from bright to dim, but Wang Teng was completely unaware.

Apart from necessary training and rest, Wang Teng spent all his time immersed in those mountains of books.

Ning Fengzhi had asked someone to find some soul guidance array diagrams for him, which have already been delivered to Wang Teng's desk.

Most of these magic arrays are related to mental power. Some can enhance mental perception, some can resist mental attacks, and some have strange functions and unknown uses.

Wang Teng glanced at it briefly and then put it aside.

It wasn't that he wasn't interested, but rather that he discovered the complexity of these magic arrays far exceeded his expectations, and thoroughly understanding them would definitely not be something that could be accomplished in a short time.

Wang Teng planned to figure it out slowly later and wasn't in a hurry.

As for what to do now, Wang Teng already has a new plan in mind.

That is to select suitable medicinal herbs for Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing.

The immortal herbs in the Yin-Yang Eye of Ice and Fire actually belong to him.

But Wang Teng knew in his heart that he still didn't know how to pick those things.

Each immortal herb has a different harvesting method. Some require specific tools, some require specific times of day to harvest, and some even require specific soul power attributes to be harvested.

If you act rashly, at best the medicinal effect will be greatly reduced, and at worst the entire plant will be ruined.

The magical herbs that Wang Teng himself consumed all contained elements of trickery; they were methods he used when he had no other choice.

Now, in order to gather the immortal herbs for the two women, Wang Teng plans to be more thorough and at least try to acquire knowledge about the immortal herbs first.

Previously, Wang Teng's relationship with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was not close enough. If he rashly revealed the matter of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, he would not trust the sect, and the sect might not trust him either.

But as time went on, especially with the engagement date with Ning Rongrong drawing closer, Wang Teng felt that perhaps it was time to make some plans for the two girls.

So he turned his attention to the herbal medicine collection in the library.

The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School has been established for many years, and its collection of books is among the richest in the entire continent.

Wang Teng started by reading the most basic "Introduction to Herbal Medicine", and then read "Illustrated Compendium of Herbs" and "Record of Rare Flowers and Herbs", and then those yellowed ancient books and fragments.

He flipped through the books one by one, reading them page by page. When he encountered unfamiliar words or terms, he would look them up in other books or write them down to think about later.

Several more days passed, and Wang Teng finally finished reading all the books related to herbs in the library.

As he closed the last book, he rubbed his slightly sore eyes and let out a long breath.

The knowledge recorded in these books is mostly quite basic.

It's nothing more than the properties, distribution, and medicinal effects of common herbs.

This content is sufficient for the average person.

But for someone like Wang Teng who wants to know more, it's far from enough.

However, Wang Teng did not come away empty-handed.

Among several ancient fragments of books, he vaguely saw some words about "immortal herbs".

However, these descriptions are extremely brief and vague.

However, these things also prove at least one thing: the miraculous herb is not unknown in this world.

That day, Ning Rongrong came to the library to find Wang Teng as usual. She noticed that he was not reading, but was leaning against the window in a daze, so she went over to him.

"Wang Teng, why aren't you watching today?"

Ning Rongrong tilted her head and asked curiously.

Wang Teng turned around, looked at Ning Rongrong, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Rongrong, your martial soul is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, right?"

Ning Rongrong blinked, wondering why Wang Teng suddenly brought this up.

"Yeah, what's wrong?"

"You should be aware of the flaws of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul."

Wang Teng's tone became more serious as he continued, "Level 79 is the maximum, and it's impossible to break through to level 80. This is a problem that none of your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's successive sect leaders have been able to solve."

Ning Rongrong's smile faded slightly, and she nodded.

This is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's greatest weakness, something she has known since childhood.

"Therefore, I believe that if you want your martial soul to evolve, the best way is not through cultivation, but through external means."

Wang Teng continued.

"External objects?"

Ning Rongrong was somewhat puzzled.

"For example, herbs."

Wang Teng pointed to the rows of herbal medicine books behind him and added, "These past few days I've roughly looked through all the herbal medicine books in our sect, and I've found that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's research on herbs is actually quite superficial. The knowledge here is very basic and far from sufficient."

Ning Rongrong was even more puzzled and asked, "Then... what should we do?"

Wang Teng pondered for a moment and said, "I've heard that the Po clan of the Haotian Sect is very knowledgeable about herbs. Their clan leader, Yang Wudi, is among the best in the entire continent in terms of pharmacology."

"In addition, Chrysanthemum Douluo of the Spirit Hall is also an expert in this field. He has an almost obsessive love for all kinds of rare flowers and herbs."

"You can talk to Uncle Ning and see if there's any way to get some more in-depth herbal knowledge from those two channels."

Ning Rongrong was even more confused after hearing this.

Why did Wang Teng suddenly say these things to her today?

Martial Soul Evolution, Herbal Research, the Breaking Clan, Chrysanthemum Douluo...

These topics came out of nowhere, and Ning Rongrong had no idea what Wang Teng was trying to express.

Wang Teng noticed Ning Rongrong's confusion but didn't explain further. He simply said, "Just repeat what I just said to Uncle Ning verbatim."

Although Ning Rongrong was full of questions, she nodded, turned around and left the library, heading towards Ning Fengzhi's residence.

Wang Teng watched her figure disappear through the door and sighed.

He is now in a very delicate position.

He wanted to confront Ning Fengzhi and reveal the truth about the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well, so that everyone could completely lower their guard.

But deep down, there was a hint of reluctance; I always felt it wasn't the right time yet.

Therefore, Wang Teng used this roundabout approach to first throw out a prelude.

"If Ning Fengzhi can understand anything from what I'm saying, that would be great."

Wang Teng muttered to himself.

……

Inside Ning Fengzhi's room.

Ning Rongrong repeated Wang Teng's words verbatim.

From "the flaws of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Martial Soul" to "evolution with the help of external objects".

Then there's "Yang Wudi of the Broken Clan" and "Chrysanthemum Douluo of the Spirit Hall".

Not a single word was missed.

After listening, Ning Fengzhi remained silent for a while, then waved his hand and said, "Rongrong, you should go back first."

Ning Rongrong obediently responded and left the room.

Ning Fengzhi paced around the room a few times, then sent someone to fetch Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo.

Before long, two titled Douluo arrived at his room.

"Fengzhi, why did you call us here in such a hurry? What happened?"

Sword Douluo spoke first.

Ning Fengzhi relayed Wang Teng's words.

Sword Douluo frowned after hearing this and asked, puzzled, "What does this kid mean?"

"Could it be that they want to study herbs, which is why they sent us to the Broken Clan and Chrysanthemum Douluo to exchange knowledge?"

Bone Douluo shook his head and slowly said, "I don't think so."

"Given Wang Teng's personality, if he really wanted to study herbs, he would have asked directly instead of going through such a roundabout way."

"What is he... implying?"

What does this imply?

Sword Douluo looked at him and asked.

Bone Douluo did not answer directly, but looked at Ning Fengzhi.

Ning Fengzhi's eyes suddenly lit up, and he slammed his hand on the armrest, saying, "I understand!"
