Chapter 120: Ning Fengzhi's Choice
"Fengzhi, what are you thinking about? Have you encountered some difficult problem?"
Ning Fengzhi snapped back to reality and was not surprised to see Chen Xin appear suddenly.
This was his study; usually, only Chen Xin and Gu Rong could enter and leave at will, and even Rongrong had to have someone announce her arrival.
"Uncle Sword, where is Uncle Bone?"
Chen Xin pursed his lips, looking displeased. "That old bone took Rongrong out to play, and he even used space travel to ditch me."
Ning Fengzhi gave a wry smile. "Uncle Sword, you all spoil Rongrong too much. Look at how arrogant and willful she has become."
"What's wrong with spoiling her a little?" Chen Xin couldn't help but retort. "Our Rongrong is so filial; do you think Old Bone and I can't protect her?"
Ning Fengzhi shook his head helplessly.
The two Douluo, Sword and Bone, doted on Rongrong very much, which made him happy, but excessive doting was spoiling.
The future of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect absolutely could not be entrusted to a child who refused to grow up.
"Uncle Sword, please take a look at this first."
Ning Fengzhi handed the documents in his hand to Chen Xin. After Chen Xin took them and saw the name Lin Yang, he instantly became serious.
"A few days ago, the Sect's intelligence department discovered that the Ye Family was fully searching for traces of a metal-type Soul Beast, and coupled with Lin Yang's recent whereabouts—"
Ning Fengzhi's gaze was deep. "I suspect he has already reached a Breakthrough to Soul King."
Chen Xin's hand paused, and he finally locked his gaze on the age line. Twelve years old?
"Fengzhi, is this age wrong? He is only twelve years old?"
"No, to be precise, he will only officially be twelve in a few days."
Ning Fengzhi stood up, walked to the window with his hands behind his back, looked out at the distant scenery, and sighed leisurely. "Uncle Sword, I know this is hard to believe, but the Sect's investigation results are indeed accurate."
The Heaven Dou Royal Academy and the Heaven Dou Imperial Family had sealed Lin Yang's information very tightly, and the outside World knew very little about it.
Even though he was the teacher of the Heaven Dou Crown Prince, he couldn't obtain more information about Lin Yang.
Clearly, the Heaven Dou Imperial Family was guarding against the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect poaching their talent.
But the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was not to be trifled with.
Relying on their massive financial resources and following some clues, they managed to find the Junior Spirit Master Academy in Notting City.
There were many people named Lin Yang. But as a Soul Master, and a Lin Yang with a blade Martial Soul, only one met the criteria.
Afterward, they spent a great price to find Lin Yang's former roommates and eventually obtained some information.
Some of this information was true and some was false, but the age had been verified multiple times and confirmed to be accurate. Twelve years old. No, currently not yet twelve.
A Soul King under twelve years old would definitely step into the Title Douluo realm in the future, with even greater potential than Uncle Sword and Uncle Bone. Why wasn't such a Genius from his Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect? Ning Fengzhi sighed silently in his heart.
Chen Xin also fell into complete silence. Rongrong was now ten years old, not yet eleven, with ninth-rank Innate Soul Power. She had just obtained her second Soul Ring a month ago, and her Soul Power was now at level twenty-one. She was hailed as the only peerless Genius in the history of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect for hundreds of years with the chance to transform the "Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda" into an "Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda." But compared to Lin Yang, it didn't seem to amount to much.
"Uncle Sword, I know you dote on Rongrong, but we cannot let Rongrong continue to waste her time like this."
Chen Xin did not retort this time and said in a deep voice, "What do you want to do?"
Ning Fengzhi was silent for a moment, then said, "When she is a little older, let's send Rongrong to the academy. It is time for her to suffer a little."
Although Chen Xin couldn't bear it, he knew the gravity of the situation. "And what about Lin Yang's side… Fengzhi, what are your thoughts?"
Now, behind Lin Yang, there was not only the Ye Family and the Dugu Family but also the support of the Heaven Dou Imperial Family. It was impossible for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to poach him. But for a Genius with terrifying potential, should they suppress him or let him be?
"Make friends with him at all costs!" Ning Fengzhi said without hesitation.
Hm? Chen Xin was a bit surprised.
Ning Fengzhi smiled. In his position, one had to see things clearly. It wasn't just about focusing on immediate gains and losses; it was more about approaching things from the big picture.
The resources of this World were limited. For every additional powerhouse, it would invisibly squeeze the resources of other factions. It might even break the fragile balance on the continent.
Therefore, major factions did not hope to see a rising powerhouse. In a relatively stable environment, staying unchanged was everyone's subconscious choice. This was a deep-rooted flaw of humanity.
If Lin Yang were merely a Cultivation Genius, even if the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect didn't directly suppress him, they wouldn't have much interaction with him. But unfortunately, Lin Yang also had the skill of preparing potions.
Even now, before Lin Yang had grown up, his potions were already benefiting the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. What about when he grew up? If they didn't take the opportunity to befriend him now, they might not even get a sip of soup later.
Simply put, when others grew up, they came to divide the cake. But when Lin Yang grew up, he would be the one making the cake, and everyone would have a chance to get a share. Which one was more welcome? Did that even need to be said?
After hearing Ning Fengzhi's explanation, Chen Xin was slightly stunned. He hadn't expected Ning Fengzhi's evaluation of Lin Yang to be so high, practically treating him as the core destined to lead an era.
However, thinking of Lin Yang's various performances, it seemed that was indeed the case.
"Uncle Sword, synchronize the information on ten-thousand-year metal-type Soul Beasts recorded in the Sect to Lin Yang. Consider it a token of goodwill from our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
"Very well!"
"Tsk tsk, this is the strength of a great Sect!" Lin Yang looked at the information in his hand regarding the ten-thousand-year metal-type Soul Beasts and couldn't help but exclaim.
Although the Soul Beasts recorded in this information might not still be around, it didn't diminish its value in the slightest. He accepted this goodwill from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. He truly needed this information.
As his strength grew, suitable Soul Beasts became fewer and fewer; he couldn't just make do with anything. Of course, he could go to the Star Dou Great Forest to try his luck, but having a clear direction was much better than running around like a headless fly.
"Which Soul Beast are you choosing this time?" Dugu Yan looked at the information in front of her and asked casually.
Lin Yang smiled and took out a document to hand to her. Dugu Yan took a look: "Tiger Fury Mountain Range, Earth-Splitting Golden Tiger, fifty thousand years?"
"Not bad," Lin Yang nodded. "Whether it's the attributes or the age, it's quite suitable. Moreover, the Earth-Splitting Golden Tiger is a rare Soul Beast that possesses a Domain."
Dugu Yan nodded, with some nervousness appearing in her eyes. "When are you leaving?"
"In a few days," Lin Yang smiled. He knew that the girls seemed to be preparing for his birthday, so naturally, he wouldn't spoil the fun.
Dugu Yan breathed a sigh of relief. "Okay, let Grandfather go with you then."
"No need," Lin Yang shook his head. "This time, I won't trouble Elder Poison. I will go by myself."
"No way, that's too dangerous!"
"Rest assured, I have confidence," Lin Yang smiled. "Besides, the Tiger Fury Mountain Range is in the Star Luo Empire. This time, while I'm there, I also want to take care of some other matters."
