Chapter 3: Rewards; Ning Fengzhi's Martial Soul Evolves into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda! The continent trembled!
The interlude in the sky ended, and the official ranking began. The grand voice finally announced the tenth place winner.
[All Realms Martial Soul Ranking - Tenth Place]
[Martial Soul: Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda]
[Owner: Ning Fengzhi, Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School]
[Reason for Ranking: The number one support-type weapon martial soul in the Douluo Continent, with unparalleled aura amplification power.]
However, the martial soul itself has a fatal flaw: the pagoda only has seven layers, causing a soul master to be able to add a maximum of seven soul rings in their lifetime, stopping at the seventy-ninth level of Soul Saint, and never having the chance to become a Title Douluo.
Overall, ranked tenth.
As the words appeared, the light and shadow on the sky changed, revealing the scene of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
In the scene, Ning Fengzhi was dressed in white, with an elegant and refined demeanor.
He held a seven-colored pagoda in his hand, its body shimmering with light and radiating treasures.
The first, second, third... all the way to the seventh spirit ring, lit up in succession.
Seven amplification halos of different colors flew out from the tower and landed on Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo beside him.
In an instant, the auras of the two titled Douluos surged, their sword energy soared into the sky, and their dragon roars shook the heavens!
Their power was so great that countless spirit masters paled!
Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
"The sect leader is on the list!"
Countless disciples cheered excitedly.
Ning Fengzhi himself, however, just calmly looked at the sky, a bitter smile on his face:
"In the end, the greatest secret and shortcoming of my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has been revealed to the public."
"Fengzhi, don't take it to heart."
Sword Douluo Chen Xin said in a deep voice.
"To be on the list of all the heavens and myriad realms is already an unparalleled honor!
Besides, who in the world doesn't know the power of my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda?"
Bone Douluo Gu Rong also chuckled:
"That's right, so what if you're level seventy-nine? With the two of us old bones here, who dares to underestimate you?"
Ning Fengzhi felt a warmth in his heart, nodded, and turned his gaze back to the sky.
Just then, the Heavenly Blessing descended!
A dazzling golden beam of light, ignoring space and distance, suddenly shot down from the sky, precisely enveloping Ning Fengzhi!
[Heavenly Blessing: Ning Fengzhi, the one on the list, has his Martial Soul, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, broken free of its shackles and advanced to—the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda!]
Boom!
Within the golden light, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda in Ning Fengzhi's hand trembled violently, emitting a series of crisp hums!
Before the astonished eyes of the world, the pagoda, originally only seven stories high, visibly grew upwards!
The eighth story…the ninth story!
A peerless pagoda, radiant with nine stories of nine colors, surrounded by divine light, replaced the original Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, quietly floating in Ning Fengzhi's palm!
A terrifying auxiliary power, far surpassing its former strength, spread from the pagoda!
Soul Power Breakthrough, Level 80!
If it weren't for the lack of an eighth spirit ring, Ning Fengzhi's decades of cultivation, even if he had previously felt his martial soul had no hope of evolution and had become complacent, would have been enough to save him several, even ten, years of arduous training.
Feeling the surging spirit power within his body and the perfect, unbroken connection between himself and his martial soul, Ning Fengzhi trembled with excitement.
The shackles that had plagued his sect for a thousand years were shattered at this moment!
"My Seven Treasure Glazed Tile… no, my Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul… can finally give birth to a Title Douluo!"
Ning Fengzhi roared to the sky, his voice filled with boundless joy and excitement.
Sword and Bone Douluos were also moved to tears, overwhelmed with emotion.
The entire Douluo Continent was in an uproar!
Such an incredible reward for merely tenth place?
It directly evolved a flawed top-tier martial soul into a flawless god-level martial soul!
What earth-shattering rewards would the ninth, eighth, and even first place receive?!
In an instant, all the Soul Masters with powerful Martial Souls had an unprecedented burning desire and greed in their eyes!
On the Sun and Moon Continent, at the pinnacle of holy light,
Yu Jingcheng watched this scene, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
"Directly compensating for the flaws in one's martial soul and advancing its quality?
This Heavenly Dao Ranking is truly extravagant."
He couldn't help but become even more curious about his own ranking.
"How will my Light Dragon King be evaluated?
What kind of blessing will I receive?"
He had a vague premonition that this descent of the celestial canopy might be the greatest opportunity for him to take that final step and ascend to godhood!
As the divine light of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda gradually receded, the celestial canopy covering the entire Douluo Continent began to become illusory, eventually transforming into specks of golden light and dissipating into nothingness.
The sky returned to its original azure, but the shock left in everyone's hearts was like a raging storm, lingering for a long time.
At the last moment before the celestial canopy completely disappeared, that grand and majestic voice once again resounded throughout the heavens and earth,
leaving everyone with a preview full of anticipation and suspense:
[This ranking is now complete. The ranking of the ninth place will begin at noon three days later.]
The sound faded, and the world returned to silence, but beneath this tranquility, an unprecedented undercurrent and storm were brewing.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Within the sect, it had already transformed into a sea of revelry. Ning
Fengzhi held the flawless Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda in his hands, feeling the complete disappearance of the bottleneck in his soul power. This sect leader, known for his composure, couldn't help but have his eyes slightly redden.
A thousand-year-old wish, fulfilled in a single day!
"Uncle Sword, Uncle Bone!"
Ning Fengzhi took a deep breath, his voice trembling slightly with excitement, but even more so with unprecedented determination and pride.
"There's no time to lose!
This blessing from Heaven is not only an opportunity, but it has also propelled my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to the forefront!
I must absorb my eighth soul ring as soon as possible and advance to Soul Douluo to truly transform this advantage into strength!"
"Hahaha, good!
I've long wanted to see what it's like for Fengzhi to become a Title Douluo!"
Bone Douluo Gu Rong laughed loudly, his fighting spirit soaring.
Sword Douluo Chen Xin's eyes were sharp as swords as he slowly nodded:
"The Spirit Hall will never sit idly by and watch us rise so easily.
On this journey, Old Bones and I will protect you. Anyone who dares to invade will first have to face the Seven Kill Sword in my hand!"
Ning Fengzhi nodded heavily, his gaze fixed on the center of the continent, a paradise for spirit beasts, but also a perilous place fraught with danger.
"Target: Star Dou Great Forest!"
...
Spirit Hall, Papal Palace.
Bibi Dong leaned back on her throne, her beautiful face shrouded in frost.
Below the hall, a group of cardinals stood silent, not daring to even breathe.
"Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda... Blessed by Heaven..."
Bibi Dong gently tapped the armrest, her voice icy and piercing.
"What a Heavenly Dao Ranking!
Ning Fengzhi, this piece of trash who should have been trapped in the Soul Saint realm for life, has actually risen to the top in one step, gaining the qualification to challenge for the Title Douluo!"
Intense killing intent and jealousy flashed in Bibi Dong's eyes.
How much price did she pay and how much pain did she endure to become a god?
Yet Ning Fengzhi, through a mere inventory, obtained such an extraordinary opportunity!
