Douluo Continent: Tonight, a Fairy Tale Descends

Ning Rongrong did as she was told. With a thought, a crystal tower, over a foot tall, sparkling with eight kinds of beautiful light, floated above her palm and slowly rotated.

Four spirit rings, yellow, yellow, purple, and purple, rose from beneath his feet.

Geduo stretched out her pale finger and gently touched the tip of the Eight Treasures Glazed Pagoda.

A pure and gentle spiritual energy, carrying her unique chilling aura, seeped into the tower.

At the same time, she placed her other hand on Ning Rongrong's shoulder, and a hidden soul force, like the most skillful probe, entered Ning Rongrong's body, guiding the potion's power and simulating the process of impact, unblocking, and nourishing.

Her expression was focused and solemn, her brows sometimes furrowing and sometimes relaxing. Her fingertips moved quickly or slowly across several key acupoints on the tower and Ning Rongrong's body, creating subtle ripples of soul power.

He would occasionally mutter a few obscure syllables, as if performing some ancient and mysterious ritual.

Ning Rongrong could clearly feel that the warm power originating from the magic potion within her body, guided by Ge Duo's soul power, was slowly and continuously merging with the origin of her Eight Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda.

An indescribable sense of comfort and a slight swelling sensation came at the same time, as if something dormant was being gently awakened.

Time passed little by little.

The Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye was completely silent, except for the gurgling of the spring water and Ning Rongrong's slightly rapid breathing.

Ge Duo's performance lasted for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. Fine beads of sweat even appeared on her forehead, and her face seemed a little pale, indicating that she had exhausted herself.

Finally, she slowly withdrew her hand, let out a long breath, and showed a just-right amount of fatigue on her face, but a satisfied light shone deep in her eyes.

"That's enough." Ge Duo took two steps back and sat back down in the wicker chair, her voice carrying a barely perceptible weakness.

"The medicinal effects have been successfully guided and have begun to integrate with your martial soul's essence. Over the next few days, you need to quietly sense the changes in your martial soul and avoid using your soul power excessively."

She paused, looking at the Eight Treasures Glazed Pagoda in Ning Rongrong's palm, which seemed even more radiant than before, and her deep green eyes curved into a smile: "Go back and experience it properly. Perhaps... you will soon feel the difference."

Ning Rongrong quickly withdrew her martial soul. She could feel that her martial soul had indeed undergone some subtle changes that were hard to describe. The sense of fullness that came from the source was unprecedented.

She suppressed her excitement and bowed deeply to Godot: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Ge Duo waved her hand casually, closed her eyes again, and looked like she needed to rest.

Chapter 375 Martial Soul Change

Ning Rongrong stopped disturbing them, and with a mix of anticipation and trepidation, she turned and left the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye.

She couldn't wait to go back and carefully sense every change in her martial spirit.

As Ning Rongrong's figure disappeared at the entrance, Ge Duo slowly opened her eyes, looked at the now empty crystal bottle, and a triumphant smile curled at the corner of her lips.

That potion is the real key.

As for the elaborate guidance and ritual just now... it was merely to make this evolution seem even more hard-won, and to make the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School feel that their huge investment was well worth it.

After all, things that are too easily obtained are never cherished.

……

Time passed quietly, and quite some time had gone by since Ning Rongrong took that magical potion.

During these days, Ning Rongrong clearly felt the earth-shattering changes taking place inside her body.

The most obvious change is the speed of soul power cultivation.

In the past, although the Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda had strong support abilities, as a support-type Soul Master, her own Soul Power accumulation speed was always slower compared to that of a Battle Soul Master of the same level. This was due to the inherent characteristics of the Martial Soul and was difficult to change.

But everything changed after he took that potion.

Each time I meditate, the increase in my soul power is visible to the naked eye.

The meridians seemed to be widened and strengthened, and the efficiency of absorbing the vital energy between heaven and earth was greatly improved.

The soul power that used to take several days of hard work to condense can now be achieved in perhaps half the time.

This exhilarating sense of improvement left Ning Rongrong both surprised and somewhat bewildered.

She could feel as if her body had been cleansed, light and clear, and the connection between her soul power and martial soul had become closer and clearer than ever before.

However, what fills her and the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School with both anticipation and a sense of loss is that her martial soul remains the Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.

The number of floors remains unchanged, still eight in total.

However, the light emanating from the tower became more and more dazzling each day.

The eight-colored light flowed endlessly, and the crystal-clear tower seemed to be infused with a more vibrant life force, its radiance contained within. Occasionally, when Ning Rongrong was emotionally agitated or exerted her full power, it would even naturally ripple out circles of soft, seven-colored light, so beautiful that it seemed otherworldly.

This change naturally did not escape the notice of Ning Fengzhi and the two titled Douluo.

Every time Ning Rongrong released her martial soul, they would carefully sense it. Their eyes showed both relief and joy at seeing the significant improvement in the quality of Rongrong's martial soul, but they also couldn't help but feel a slight sense of disappointment at not seeing the increase in the number of layers.

The Nine-Treasure Glazed Pagoda... that was ultimately an obsession that had lingered in the hearts of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect for thousands of years.

Ning Fengzhi comforted his daughter, and also himself: "Don't worry, Rongrong. Her Majesty Geduo's methods are divine. The fact that there has been such a significant improvement is great news. We just need to wait patiently for the right opportunity to make a breakthrough."

Even so, his gaze toward the Sunset Forest always carried an unconscious deeper expectation.

Finally, it was time for Ning Rongrong to make her routine trip to the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Well.

But this day seemed different from any other.

As dawn broke, Ning Rongrong had already finished getting ready, feeling inexplicably nervous and with a vague sense of unease.

The one who escorted her here today is Sword Douluo Chen Xin.

Dressed in white and carrying a long sword, Chen Xin's face was cold and stern, yet his aura was more refined than ever before. He said nothing, only nodding slightly to Ning Rongrong, before transforming into a streak of sword light and rushing towards Sunset Forest with her.

It was extremely fast, yet remarkably stable.

Once again, passing through that familiar miasma and illusions, the eternally beautiful scenery of the Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye came into view.

Gothel seemed to have anticipated their arrival, and instead of sitting in the wicker chair, she stood quietly in front of the Crystal House.

Today, she wore a dark green dress, which made her skin appear even paler, and her deep green eyes seemed particularly profound in the misty air. Seeing Chen Xin accompany her, she merely raised an eyebrow slightly, offering no further comment.

“Sword Douluo,” Ge Duo’s voice was calm.

"Your Majesty Gedo." Chen Xin returned the greeting with his sword, speaking succinctly, "Rongrong is now in Your Majesty's care." With that, he retreated to the vicinity of the entrance as usual, standing with his eyes closed, like a guardian sword monument, his aura subtly resisting the surrounding poisonous miasma, yet never stepping into the heart of the valley.

Ning Rongrong took a deep breath and walked towards Ge Duo, her heart pounding uncontrollably.

"Your Majesty."

Ge Duo's gaze fell on her, looking her up and down. A hint of satisfaction flashed in her eyes, and she nodded slightly: "Your foundation is well-developed, and you've absorbed the medicinal power perfectly. It's time."

With a flick of her wrist, she revealed a jade bottle in her palm that was completely different from the one she had seen before.

This jade bottle is smaller, with a warm, milky white color throughout. The bottle is devoid of any decorative patterns, yet it naturally exudes an ancient and dignified aura. A faint golden halo flows around the stopper, clearly sealing away powerful energy.

"Drink it." Ge Duo handed the jade bottle to Ning Rongrong, her tone leaving no room for argument.

Ning Rongrong accepted the jade bottle without any hesitation; it was slightly warm to the touch.

She uncorked the bottle, but there was no pleasant fragrance as she had expected, and not even any smell at all.

The contents of the bottle were a viscous liquid, like melted pale golden glass, gently rippling, with countless tiny starlight seemingly rising and falling, appearing and disappearing within.

She tilted her head back and drank the strange liquid in one gulp.

The moment the liquid entered her mouth, Ning Rongrong shuddered violently!

There was neither cold nor warm, but rather an indescribable feeling of emptiness and fullness intertwined, as if acting directly on the soul.

Immediately afterwards, an unimaginably vast yet extremely gentle and mellow pure energy erupted within her body like a volcano that had been dormant for thousands of years, or like the vast starry sky suddenly pouring down!

Chapter 376 The Nine-Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda

"Well!"

Ning Rongrong groaned, feeling as if every meridian, bone, blood, and even every cell in her body was emitting a thirsty cheer and buzzing.

That energy was enormous, but it didn't rampage wildly. Instead, it was like a wise spring of life, following the most mysterious path, surging wildly into the depths of her dantian, into the origin of her innate martial spirit!

Buzz

A dazzling eight-colored radiance burst forth uncontrollably from Ning Rongrong's body.

The Eight Treasures Glazed Pagoda appeared on its own, hovering above her head. The pagoda trembled violently, emitting a clear and melodious hum. Its eight-colored light burst forth with unprecedented brightness, illuminating the entire Ice and Fire Yin-Yang Eye in a bizarre and dazzling way.

“This is…” Ning Rongrong looked at her out-of-control martial spirit in surprise.

"Concentrate! Guide your soul power and sense your tower!" Ge Duo's cold voice flowed into Ning Rongrong's somewhat chaotic mind like an icy spring.

Almost at the same time, Gedo moved.

She took a step forward and was already behind Ning Rongrong, her pale and slender hands simultaneously pressing on Ning Rongrong's back and Baihui acupoint on the top of her head.

The cold yet powerful spiritual and soul force, like the most skilled craftsman wielding the most precise carving knife, boldly entered Ning Rongrong's body, precisely guiding, regulating, and suppressing the terrifying medicinal power that was about to go out of control. At the same time, in a mysterious and indescribable way, it directly acted on the source of the radiant Eight Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda!

"Feel the foundation of the tower, feel the veins of each layer of glazed tiles, feel the sealed possibilities belonging to the ninth layer!" Ge Duo's voice echoed deep within Ning Rongrong's soul, carrying a strange rhythm.

Ning Rongrong gritted her teeth, enduring the excruciating pain and strange pleasure that surged through her body, as if it were about to burst or being reassembled. She focused all her attention on her martial spirit.

Guided by Gedo, she saw the perfect and stable eight-layer structure of the Eight Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, and deep within the pagoda's base, a faint yet incredibly resilient ninth point of starlight shrouded by layers of ancient seals and invisible barriers.

The starlight was so faint, yet it contained unimaginable potential and power of rules that surpassed the sum of the previous eight layers.

"Now!" Ge Duo's eyes shone with a bright green light, and she pressed her hands down hard on Ning Rongrong's body!

boom!

It was like the first ray of light at the beginning of the universe, or like the earth-shattering thunder of a silent continent.

The pent-up magical power within Ning Rongrong's body, guided by Ge Duo and pulled by Ning Rongrong's own will, transformed into a golden torrent that seemed to split the heavens and the earth, crashing headlong into that point of the Ninth Starlight with unstoppable force.

Click!

In the darkness, it felt as if something had shattered.

It was as if some shackles that had bound them for thousands of years had been severed!

"what!"

Ning Rongrong couldn't help but let out a long moan that was a mixture of pain and extreme joy.

The radiance of the eight-treasure glazed pagoda above her head suddenly dimmed for a moment, then shone brightly again.

The eight-story pagoda, each layer lit up, its light flowing seamlessly into one, reaching the pinnacle of splendor.

Then, above that eighth layer of dazzling light, a brand new, pure, pale golden ray of light, like the first ray of dawn in the world, stubbornly and firmly, little by little... condensed, manifested, and extended.
