Chapter 191: The Visit (Part II)

Ning Fengzhi smiled again and said to Dugu Bo, "I must still thank you, Mr. Dugu, for your kindness in cultivating Feiliu. If you have any requests in the future, please do not hesitate to tell me; my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will help as much as possible."

Dugu Bo smiled slightly and said, "Then I shall not decline. When the time comes, I will visit often; after all, we will be family in the future..."

Seeing this, Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo both chuckled and said, "Yes, yes indeed..."

Their gazes swept over Ning Feiliu and Dugu Yan nearby, full of deep meaning.

Dugu Yan's pretty face flushed slightly, and Ning Feiliu also felt a bit uncomfortable.

From this point on, the relationship between the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and Dugu Bo could be said to have become directly close. Although Dugu Bo had not explicitly joined the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, under the current circumstances, to say he had no connection to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect—

Outsiders would absolutely not believe it.

Dugu Bo did not distance himself from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect at this moment; instead, he hinted to Ning Fengzhi and the others in a way that was almost explicit.

In an instant, the atmosphere of the conversation between Dugu Bo, Ning Fengzhi, and Bone Douluo became even more harmonious.

They began to chat quite a bit more, centering the conversation on Ning Feiliu and Dugu Yan, and even talked about Ning Feiliu's older brother, Ning Mingrui.

Half an hour later.

"... Alright, it is about time." Seeing that the visit had lasted long enough and the conversation had reached its end, Ning Fengzhi stood up with a smile and said, "Mr. Dugu, sorry to have bothered you, but it is time for us to return."

"Feiliu, you have been living outside for a long time, and we haven't had dinner together in ages. Return to the sect for a while tomorrow; I have things to entrust to you." He looked at Ning Feiliu with a smile as he spoke.

Ning Feiliu hesitated. He had actually intended to come find Dugu Bo today to go deep into the Star Dou Great Forest again, like last time, to search for some rare, top-tier Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast to serve as his Fourth Soul Ring.

Going deep into the Star Dou Great Forest like last time to obtain a rare soul ring would certainly require a lot of time.

Although he wasn't limited to any specific soul beast this time, it would still likely take a significant amount of time, and he definitely wouldn't be able to return tomorrow.

"What is it?" However, seeing Ning Feiliu's expression, Ning Fengzhi thought he still held a grudge against the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and immediately asked.

"Father, it is like this," Ning Feiliu said immediately. "Actually, I came to find Teacher today because I wanted to ask Teacher to accompany me into the Star Dou Great Forest to obtain my Fourth Soul Ring."

Once these words were spoken, both Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo were stunned.

"Obtain... the Fourth Soul Ring?" They were quite shocked.

Especially Ning Fengzhi.

After all, in Ning Fengzhi's eyes, Ning Feiliu was only a Spirit Master a year ago. Not only had he broken through to the Soul Elder realm within a year—which was already quite shocking—

But now he had actually broken through to become a Soul Ancestor?! If this breakthrough speed were known, it would be simply unimaginable! Dugu Bo, however, had always been well aware of Ning Feiliu's soul power breakthrough speed. Hearing this, he smiled slightly and said, "Since that is the case, I will accompany Feiliu into the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt soul beasts these next few days."

Just then, Ning Fengzhi reacted and hurriedly said, "Mr. Dugu! Feiliu has already been under your care for a long time during this period... As his father, I really feel bad about troubling you further. How about this: let us handle the matter of Feiliu obtaining his soul ring this time."

His eyes were bright and piercing; in truth, he wanted to use this opportunity to close the gap and repair his father-son relationship with Ning Feiliu.

Moreover, Ning Feiliu's soul ring... now that Ning Feiliu's status was becoming important, his acquisition of soul rings had become a major matter that Ning Fengzhi had to be concerned about.

After all, the acquisition of every soul ring by a Spirit Master could affect the changes in their martial soul and their future development path. Like in the original story, Tang San's unawakened Blue Silver Emperor had its martial soul develop toxic abilities because Tang San followed Yu Xiaogang's advice and absorbed a poison-type soul beast as a soul ring.

Of course, a martial soul would undergo some changes due to the absorbed soul ring, but it was impossible for a single soul ring to cause a heaven-turning change in the martial soul.

Even a million-year soul ring like that of Tianmeng could not achieve such a change.

But Ning Fengzhi was still quite worried that Ning Feiliu's martial soul might undergo some strange changes due to reckless absorption of soul rings.

Ning Feiliu, however, felt that it wouldn't happen, as the soul rings of the Phoenix-Tailed Cockscomb Snake and the Silver Moon Mane Lion he had absorbed previously hadn't caused any strange changes to his martial soul.

The Silver Moon Mane Lion was easier to explain; it was a moon-related soul beast, which might be why it didn't cause any strange changes to his martial soul.

But the Phoenix-Tailed Cockscomb Snake soul ring, logically speaking, should have caused quite obvious changes if it were truly capable of altering a martial soul.

Yet Ning Feiliu had not felt any changes in his martial soul, perhaps because the main carrier of his martial soul was a material like glaze.

His Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda had even been transformed into Moon Stone due to the Crescent Moon Martial Soul Forging Method—perhaps his martial soul should now be called the Nine Treasure Moon Stone Pagoda.

Therefore, it wasn't like Tang San's Blue Silver Grass, which could have strange and bizarre abilities added to it at will.

"It is fine. After all, Feiliu is my student, and as a teacher, it is only right to help a student obtain a soul ring," Dugu Bo insisted. "Besides, Feiliu's situation is very special..."

"Feiliu's situation is very special?" Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo were both a bit curious.

Dugu Bo immediately looked at Ning Feiliu and said, "Feiliu, you decide whether or not to tell your father and Bone Yeye."

Ning Feiliu hesitated for a moment, but soon he summoned his martial soul. "Nine Treasures turn out the glaze."

They saw the nine-story pagoda in his hand, which made Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo's eyes burn with fervor, once again emitting a cold moonlight as it appeared before everyone.

At the same time, those three very unreasonable "thousand-year" soul rings also appeared, circling Ning Feiliu's body.

Just then, Ning Feiliu's mind stirred, and the final "thousand-year" soul ring tore off all its disguises, gradually turning into a black ring, and then erupted with a truly terrifying aura like that of a primeval beast...

"This is... a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring?" Bone Douluo shouted in disbelief, "A ten thousand year third soul ring?!"

"The Explosive Ring Technique that Feiliu created himself—I believe you have all seen it—releases a powerful offensive soul skill after detonating one's own soul ring," Dugu Bo said directly. "The power is indeed very strong, but the price is that Feiliu must permanently lose that soul ring."

"However, his soul rings can be re-absorbed, and the re-absorbed soul ring can have its age slightly increased based on Feiliu's current soul power level. Therefore, as you can see, the age of the soul rings Feiliu absorbs has increased step by step, until he successfully absorbed a ten thousand year soul ring after using the Explosive Ring Soul Skill last time."

"So that is how it is..." Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo's eyes lit up immediately.

The way they looked at Ning Feiliu became even more intense.

This was the Child of Destiny that the heavens... had bestowed upon their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!

They could not even imagine to what terrifying degree Ning Feiliu's strength could be elevated through the Explosive Ring Soul Skill.

Just think of the upper limit of a Twin Spirits Spirit Master who could have all the soul rings of one martial soul absorbed as ten thousand year soul rings; Ning Feiliu was almost equivalent to a man-made Twin Spirits Spirit Master! (End of chapter)
