Chapter 139: How About Letting My Sister Go to the Heaven Dou Empire?
"Rongrong… you…"
Ning Fengzhi's voice trembled uncontrollably. He reached out with both hands and carefully placed them on Ning Rongrong's shoulders.
"Th-This… this is really the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda?!"
"You really did it?!"
At the side, Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Bone Douluo Gu Rong were equally filled with disbelief.
"Rongrong, quickly tell Grandpa. How exactly did your martial soul evolve like this?"
"Was it… that boy Lin Yuan who helped you?" Ning Fengzhi took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the storm in his heart as he asked with burning eyes.
Seeing their shocked expressions, Ning Rongrong felt indescribably proud.
She smiled sweetly and nodded.
"That's right, Dad!"
"Brother Lin Yuan helped me!"
After that, Ning Rongrong vividly recounted how Lin Yuan had obtained the immortal herbs and refined pills for them.
Of course, she cleverly skipped over the ambiguous "kissing reward" and the detailed matter regarding whale rubber.
A moment later, after hearing her explanation, Ning Fengzhi and the other two exchanged glances. The shock in their hearts refused to settle.
"Hiss!"
Gu Rong inhaled sharply.
"Using immortal herbs to refine pills? And they can transform a person's body and even evolve their martial soul?"
"Could there be any side effects? Forcing growth like this is not something that should be done lightly."
Gu Rong immediately placed his hand on Ning Rongrong's wrist and began probing with his soul power.
Chen Xin, however, reacted differently. A sharp light flashed through his eyes.
"It seems the master behind Lin Yuan is not only an Ultimate Douluo but also a powerful alchemist."
"No wonder that kid's soul ring configuration is so astonishing: black, purple, black."
Clearly, they naturally attributed all of this to the mysterious "His Excellency Zhao Yun" standing behind Lin Yuan.
After all, how could an eight-year-old child possibly understand such profound alchemy and medicinal knowledge?
Someone must be guiding him behind the scenes.
"Rongrong…"
Ning Fengzhi calmed himself slightly, but a trace of anticipation filled his eyes.
"Could you help Father ask Lin Yuan something?"
"Does he… still have this kind of pill?"
"Even just one would be enough!"
"No matter the cost, even if he wants to choose freely from our sect's treasure vault, as long as he's willing to give one!"
Ning Fengzhi was desperate.
The flaw of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul, which could only cultivate up to rank seventy-nine, had been the pain of his entire life.
If he could obtain such a pill…
However, Ning Rongrong helplessly shook her head, shattering his hopes.
"Dad, I already asked him for you."
She sighed with regret.
"But Brother Lin Yuan said that refining this kind of pill requires a specific immortal herb called Beautiful Silk Tulip as the main ingredient."
"That immortal herb is extremely rare. It's a spiritual treasure born from heaven and earth."
"When he went out this time, he only encountered a single one."
"So…"
Hearing this, the light in Ning Fengzhi's eyes dimmed instantly.
"Only one…"
"Well, that makes sense. A divine treasure capable of defying fate… how could it possibly be mass-produced?"
"Sigh…"
Although disappointed, Ning Fengzhi said nothing more.
After all, the fact that his daughter had obtained this opportunity was already a tremendous blessing for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
"Forget it."
Ning Fengzhi quickly regained his composure and patted Ning Rongrong on the shoulder.
"The evolution of your martial soul is already the best possible news."
…
At the same time.
Heaven Dou City, Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Today was a special day.
The exchange match between Blue Tyrant Academy and Heaven Dou Royal Academy would take place inside a large sealed arena within the academy.
To preserve Blue Tyrant Academy's dignity and avoid unnecessary commotion, the match was held without an audience.
It could almost be described as a secret event.
Inside the arena, the atmosphere was somewhat subtle.
Lin Yuan arrived early with Dugu Yan, Xiao Wu, and the others, waiting in the center of the field.
Soon after, a group of people walked out of the entrance passage.
At the front was a woman with a fiery and alluring figure.
It was the dean of Blue Tyrant Academy, Liu Erlong.
Behind her followed several students who looked somewhat nervous.
Among them were several familiar faces from the original story.
The muscular man who looked somewhat simple-minded was Tai Long of the Strength Clan.
The gloomy and thin young man beside him was Jing Ling.
There was also a gentle young girl, who should be Jiangzhu.
"Dean Liu, long time no see."
Sun Buyu stepped forward with a smile.
Although they belonged to different academies, courtesy cost nothing. Moreover, the person before him had the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan backing her.
After exchanging a few simple greetings, Liu Erlong's beautiful eyes began sweeping across the members of the Heaven Dou team.
Finally, her gaze locked firmly onto one particular young man.
Lin Yuan.
He really is quite handsome.
Lin Yuan felt Liu Erlong's burning gaze and couldn't help laughing inwardly.
Isn't this intention a bit too obvious?
It's practically written all over her face: "Write about me! Write about me!"
Liu Erlong personally leading the team here for an exchange match was actually a case of having an ulterior motive.
She simply wanted to use this match to increase her presence in front of Lin Yuan, hoping he would mention her more in his diary and allow her to receive system rewards.
…
At this moment, the chat group that only the women could see had also become lively due to Liu Erlong's arrival.
[Bunny Who Loves Candied Hawthorns: Tsk tsk tsk, Aunt Erlong, you're really going all out.]
[Bunny Who Loves Candied Hawthorns: Your desire for those diary rewards is practically obvious to everyone!]
[I Want to Live Past Thirty: Exactly! Dean Liu, aren't you afraid our Heaven Dou Royal Academy will beat your team into a miserable defeat and make Blue Tyrant Academy lose face?]
[Queen of the Night: Hmph, Liu Erlong, you're too cunning. I also want the Star Luo team to fight the Heaven Dou team so I can get a chance to see Lin Yuan.]
[Irritable Pig-Raising Maniac: Hmph, what do you all know? Opportunities must be fought for yourself!]
[Irritable Pig-Raising Maniac: As for winning or losing? What does that matter? As long as Lin Yuan remembers me, that's enough!]
[Irritable Pig-Raising Maniac: Didn't you notice there's no audience for this exchange match? As long as there are no spectators, it won't be embarrassing.]
The women: …What shamelessness.
…
Star Luo Empire, Star Luo Royal Academy.
Zhu Zhuyun looked at the transparent diary in front of her. A trace of helplessness and anxiety flashed through her beautiful eyes.
She and her younger sister, Zhu Zhuqing, were in the Star Luo Empire, while Lin Yuan was far away in the Heaven Dou Empire.
Separated by thousands of miles, it was extremely difficult to increase the number of times they were mentioned in the diary.
"An exchange match…"
"That would indeed be a good method, but relations between the Star Luo Empire and Heaven Dou Empire are delicate. It would be difficult to arrange one in the short term."
Zhu Zhuyun sighed, her gaze growing thoughtful.
Soon, another thought appeared in her mind.
She had already enrolled in Star Luo Royal Academy.
But her younger sister hadn't yet…
