Chapter 31: Ruyi Ring
When Ning Fengzhi heard his daughter's words, a bitter, inexpressible smile appeared on his face.
How could he not have had expectations?
Especially when his daughter brought back the qiluo tulip and informed him that her Martial Soul had evolved into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
A spark of hope had once ignited in his heart.
Perhaps, he, Ning Fengzhi, could also advance the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda further, evolving it into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
After he consumed that Immortal Herb, he indeed felt a powerful medicinal force cleansing his body, and his Soul Power had improved.
His Martial Soul ultimately evolved into the Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
His cultivation, which had been stagnant for many years, subtly loosened, and he seized this Opportunity to successfully absorb his eighth Soul Ring, becoming a Soul Douluo level powerhouse.
But… that was all.
The imagined evolution did not occur.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda did not Break through that shackles and transform into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
Ning Fengzhi gently patted Ning Rongrong's hand, his tone gentle but with an undeniable hint of melancholy.
"Rongrong, your father understands your intentions. While the evolved Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is indeed a top-tier Martial Soul, very rare, when it comes to 'uniqueness' and 'specialness,' perhaps… it's still lacking a bit."
"After consuming the Immortal Herb, although I fortunately Broke through to Soul Douluo and my Martial Soul also gained some benefits, it ultimately failed to evolve into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda."
"This ranking list is probably not meant for me."
He raised his head, his gaze once again fixed on the magnificent heavenly curtain outside the hall, his eyes returning to their usual wisdom and composure.
Just then, the golden light above the heavenly curtain surged violently again.
New ranking information began to coalesce.
Everyone's attention was immediately drawn back.
The new ranking and information slowly emerged.
. special martial soul ranking, Eighth Place: Ruyi Ring!]
Another Martial Soul that had never been heard of!
Everyone focused intently on its description.
. Ruyi Ring, a mutated Martial Soul. Originating from the Clear Sky Sect, the number one Sect in the world, it should have inherited the top-tier Tool Spirit Clear Sky Hammer, but during its Awakening at six years old, it underwent a special mutation, transforming into the Ruyi Ring. Its form is exquisite, the ring body shimmering with flowing light, appearing neither gold nor jade.]
[Its special characteristics are: One, it is the only instance on the Douluo Continent to date of a non-attack system Tool Spirit mutated from the Clear Sky Hammer, with a fundamental change in form and function; Two, upon Awakening, it inherently possesses a talent Domain – Noble's Circle.]
. Martial Soul Restriction: Due to the special nature of the Martial Soul, the Ruyi Ring cannot attach any Soul Rings, causing the wielder's Soul Power to remain stagnant at level nine for life, unable to Break through level ten and become a Soul Master. This restriction is extremely rare in the history of Martial Souls on the Douluo Continent.]
[Wielder: Tang Yuehua (Moon Pavilion Master)]
[Reward: Soul Power increased by one level, partial Martial Soul restriction removed (can Cultivate to the Soul King Realm, can attach a maximum of five spirit rings)]
As soon as this ranking list appeared, the continent was once again in an uproar!
"Mutated from the Clear Sky Hammer? The Clear Sky Sect has this kind of Martial Soul?"
"Comes with a talent Domain? Heavens, this is an ability even Titled Douluo might not possess!"
"Cannot attach Soul Rings? Soul Power level nine for life? This… what's the use of such a strong Domain if one can't Cultivate?"
"The reward removed some restrictions, allowing her to Cultivate to Soul King. Isn't this Tang Yuehua benefiting from misfortune?"
The focus of the discussion centered on "Clear Sky Sect mutation," "talent Domain," and "unable to Cultivate."
It was truly regrettable that a person with such a miraculous Domain was unable to Cultivate due to Martial Soul restrictions.
And the heavenly curtain's reward undoubtedly gave her new hope… Heaven Dou City, Moon Pavilion.
In an elegantly furnished room on the top floor, filled with artistic ambiance.
A graceful and noble beautiful woman in palace attire, with a gentle and soft jade-like temperament, stood quietly by the window, gazing up at the ranking list in the sky.
She was Tang Yuehua.
When she saw her name and Martial Soul appear on the heavenly curtain.
Especially the descriptions of "unable to attach spirit rings" and "Soul Power level nine for life."
Even her beautiful eyes, which seemed capable of encompassing and soothing all emotions, couldn't help but ripple with a complex wave.
For decades, she had already accepted this fact, and with this unique Domain, she had established the Moon Pavilion in Heaven Dou City.
Teaching etiquette and art to noble children, realizing her value in another way.
But deep down, who doesn't yearn for power, to be able to Cultivate, to control their own destiny?
"Boom!"
As the golden light of the Heavenly Dao's reward crossed space and merged into her body, Tang Yuehua's delicate body trembled slightly.
That level nine Bottleneck, which had plagued her for decades, as impregnable as an iron wall, instantly loosened and disintegrated!
Her Soul Power directly Broke through to level ten!
Moreover, she could clearly feel the invisible shackles within her, preventing her from absorbing Soul Rings.
Although still present, they had loosened considerably, as if a gap had opened.
She gently raised her hand, and the magnificent Ruyi Ring Martial Soul appeared in her palm, shimmering with flowing light, seeming even more agile than before.
"Soul King, it's enough… it's really enough…"
She murmured softly, her voice tinged with a choke, but more so with relief and joy.
For her, this was already a great blessing… Big Dipper Academy.
Lu Xiao looked at the description of the Ruyi Ring on the heavenly curtain, a hint of appreciation flashing in his eyes.
"Ruyi Ring, Noble's Circle… mutated from the world's strongest attack system Tool Spirit into a purely auxiliary Domain-type Martial Soul."
He nodded slightly.
"This Domain has great uses in both Cultivation and governance."
Li Bai took a swig of wine and exclaimed in wonder, "For a domineering and fierce Martial Soul like the Clear Sky Hammer to mutate into such a peaceful and tranquil Domain, the wonders of creation are indeed endless."
"This Domain has a similar subtlety to my Green Lotus Sword Intent; both can cleanse the dust from the heart, but in different directions."
...Spirit Hall, Supreme Pontiff Palace.
Bibi Dong sat high on her throne, looking at Tang Yuehua's information, her eyes indifferent with a hint of scrutiny.
"Clear Sky Sect, Tang Yuehua…"
Her red lips parted slightly, her tone revealing no joy or anger.
"A useless person who couldn't Cultivate, relying on a talent Domain to build connections in Heaven Dou City, has now gained an Opportunity."
"Soul King… Hmph, an ant is still an ant."
She didn't pay much attention to Tang Yuehua.
Even with the restrictions removed, someone who could only Cultivate to Soul King was still insignificant before the behemoth that was Spirit Hall.
Her gaze was more directed towards the higher ranks of the list, awaiting the appearance of those Martial Souls that might pose a threat to Spirit Hall… Just as various parties were endlessly discussing the Ruyi Ring Martial Soul, the golden light of the heavenly curtain flashed again, and the information for the seventh place began to coalesce.
This time, the speed at which the golden light gathered seemed a bit slower.
Finally, the characters became completely clear.
. special martial soul ranking, Seventh Place: Soft Bones Rabbit!]
Upon seeing this name, many people's first reaction was confusion.
Soft Bones Rabbit?
This seemed to be just a relatively common low-level Soul Beast.
Although known for its flexibility, as a Martial Soul, it didn't seem particularly "special" or "unique," did it?
