Chen Ming's research over the past few years had been very effective.
Whether it was the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan or the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, both had already gained their own improved version of a meditation method. Every clan member's cultivation efficiency had improved quite a bit compared to before.
These were real benefits they had personally felt.
Because of that, Ning Fengzhi firmly believed Chen Ming could improve the upper limit of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
Especially when Chen Ming brought up those raw materials.
Dozens of gems, dozens of rare metals, and dozens of medicinal herbs mixed together to forge a material outside the body that was the same as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, then merge it into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda itself.
Although Ning Fengzhi still did not understand how exactly the principle worked, it looked very reasonable at first glance, did it not?
Sometimes, this world was just like that.
If you simply gave someone a solution, they might think it was not a big deal and only took a little effort.
But if you listed out a detailed table, wrote down all kinds of solutions and raw materials, then explained the process once, even if the matter itself was not truly professional, people would still feel you were very professional.
If Chen Ming had only acted like Tang San and handed over one Aromatic Silk Beauty, simply making Ning Rongrong's Martial Soul evolve, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's attitude would definitely not be like this.
After a simple talk, the group traveled together back toward Heaven Dou City.
Chen Ming returned to his cave residence at Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, preparing to help Ning Rongrong make the right formula for shaping the Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda once the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's materials arrived.
At the same time, Chen Ming directly wrote down the improved Iron Sand Palm and Small Perplexing Step.
One copy was sent straight to "Xue Qinghe."
The other was handed to Salas, the platinum bishop of the local Spirit Hall temple, to be sent to Spirit Hall's main temple.
But before he could do what he had originally planned, a brand-new piece of news reached his ears.
It left him in a state of indescribable surprise.
"You're saying a new student recently came to Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, and at twelve years old, she already has Level 41 cultivation?"
"And this new student's Martial Soul is the Silver Dragon Spear, an ancient divine weapon said to be related to the Silver Dragon?"
Chen Ming rubbed his ears, feeling extremely complicated inside.
Ning Rongrong, sitting across from him, looked at him strangely.
Still, she nodded seriously.
"What's so strange about that?"
"This Silver Dragon Spear should only have the name Silver Dragon Spear, or maybe a little of its charm, right?"
"No matter how you think about it, it can't possibly be the ancient divine weapon from dragon clan myths and legends, can it?"
"Isn't this very reasonable and normal?"
"For example, a Dragon-Slaying Saber can't really slay dragons, and a God-Killing Spear can't really kill gods."
What Ning Rongrong said was very normal.
In the Spirit Master world, this was also a common thing.
Some Martial Souls sounded extremely grand, but in reality, they only had a tiny bit of that trait, which was then endlessly exaggerated.
For example, a weapon with some restraint against dragons might be called a Dragon-Slaying Saber.
A Martial Soul with especially strong attack power might be called a God-Killing Spear.
It did not mean they could truly slay dragons or kill gods. It was only a forced name.
Just like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
It was not really seven treasures. It was a glazed tile pagoda.
The Clear Sky Hammer also had nothing to do with the sky.
Among the Martial Souls of the Upper Three Sects, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon's name was actually the closest to its true nature.
After all, it really was a blue tyrant dragon with the lightning attribute.
Chen Ming did not know how to explain it to Ning Rongrong.
After all, in the original story, there had definitely never been such a genius with such a powerful Martial Soul and such special cultivation.
And this Silver Dragon Spear, no matter how he looked at it, seemed connected to the king of giving herself away lying inside the Star Dou Great Forest.
He'd stake money on it.
This so-called new student was definitely connected to that give-away king...
No.
The Silver Dragon King.
"Rongrong, can you tell me what you've found out?"
"Sure. More or less, it's like this."
Ning Rongrong had inherited Ning Fengzhi's talent.
In the academy, she had always been known for being good at dealing with people.
Aside from Chen Ming, she also had quite a few friends and connections in the academy.
And because women of any age loved gossip, when it came to getting news, Ning Rongrong was actually even better informed than Chen Ming, who focused mainly on researching Martial Souls.
To be more specific, after Chen Ming left the northeastern region, the sect master of a hidden sect stepped forward.
With his own cultivation, he helped the Heaven Dou Empire drive the rioting Spirit Beasts back into the wilderness.
That sect was said to have inherited a powerful dragon bloodline. In terms of Martial Souls, they could even rival the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan.
The Martial Soul of that sect master was the Dark Holy Dragon, said to be the Martial Soul of an elder from the dark dragon race.
It was also said to carry a trace of bloodline from an ancient Dragon King.
That man called himself the Black Emperor.
His strength was unfathomable.
It was said that he was among the stronger Titled Douluo.
The Heaven Dou Empire spent great effort to build good relations with him, and the other side also seemed to have plans to appear in the world at this time.
So after the two sides talked for a while, the young sect master of that sect was invited to study at Heaven Dou Imperial Academy.
The young sect master's name was Long Na'er.
She was a beautiful girl with silver-white hair.
Her Martial Soul was a long spear the color of silver, and it gave off a powerful dragon pressure.
She claimed that her Martial Soul had the same name as an ancient divine weapon: the Silver Dragon Spear.
During this time, many people in Heaven Dou Imperial Academy had started pursuing Long Na'er.
Some were after her background.
Some were after her beauty.
But without exception, no matter why they pursued her, they all ended up beaten to the ground by the spear in Long Na'er's hand.
Even the Spirit Ancestor-level students in Heaven Dou Imperial Academy received no kind treatment when they tried to pursue her.
One after another, they were defeated by her.
Even Yu Tianheng and Yu Tianxin, the famous "Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Twin Stars" of Heaven Dou Imperial Academy, failed to gain her approval.
In fact, even their Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Martial Soul was suppressed by her Silver Dragon Spear Martial Soul.
This fully proved that the inherited Martial Soul of her sect was no worse in quality than the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon clan's Martial Soul.
It was said that some noble families had tried to test Long Na'er because their children had been beaten.
But before they could get any results, the heads of those noble families suddenly died in their prime, one after another.
Because of that, no one dared to investigate even the slightest secret about Long Na'er anymore.
Now, Long Na'er was even called the second greatest genius in Heaven Dou Imperial Academy in the past hundred years, or perhaps since the academy was founded.
As for the greatest genius?
The greatest genius was currently listening to this story.
Perhaps some people felt that Long Na'er could compare with Chen Ming.
But before the two of them truly met and decided a winner, no one would say that out loud.
After all, neither side was easy to offend.
Offending either one would bring no benefit.
But who knew how many people in the entire Heaven Dou Imperial Academy were now waiting to see Chen Ming and Long Na'er decide who was stronger?
That was probably something no one could say for sure.
