Chapter 15: Transaction

"Hmph! I could definitely block it more easily than you!"

"Bah! Old thing, let's go, come and spar with me!"

"Jian Shu, Gu Shu, we still have a guest here." Ning Fengzhi felt a headache coming on as he watched the two start to bicker.

"Hmph!" x2

After Gu Rong and Jian Chenxin calmed down, Jian Chenxin came to Ning Fengzhi's side and whispered something to him via sound transmission. After hearing it, he turned his gaze back to Zhou Yi with a very solemn expression. He hadn't expected that Ning Rongrong would be circling around him at this moment, observing him from all sides, as if she wanted to see what made this kind of monster different from everyone else.

"Child, may I call you Xiao Yi?" Ning Fengzhi looked at Zhou Yi, his heart burning with anticipation.

"Of course you may."

"Then you can just call me Uncle Ning. Xiao Yi, I wonder if you would be willing to join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect? As long as you join, I can provide you with abundant cultivation resources, the sect can hunt for your Soul Rings, and I can even obtain soul bones for you. Besides, you and Rongrong are of the same generation; usually, everyone in the sect is very respectful toward her, so she doesn't have many friends. Your joining could also give her a companion. How about it?"

"Yeah, yeah! You're so amazing, it would be great if you joined our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect! Then I could come find you to play often. I've never seen such an amazing person of my own generation before." Before Zhou Yi could speak, Ning Rongrong urged him impatiently. She clearly hadn't understood Ning Fengzhi's subtext.

Qian Renxue also looked at him at this moment, wanting to see how he would answer.

"Thank you for your kindness, Uncle Ning, but Zhou Yi is used to being free and unfettered, and I don't wish to join any faction." Zhou Yi shook his head and refused.

"Is that so... what a pity... I imagine that with your talent, you are destined to become a Title Douluo in the future. It's a shame..."

This was Ning Fengzhi's strength; although he held a high position, he was not arrogant. He treated people very gently, especially geniuses, whom he treated with great courtesy, never putting on the airs of the Three Upper Sects. Although he doted on his daughter, when there was an exceptionally outstanding young person, Ning Fengzhi would consider sacrificing his daughter's marriage to win them over.

Of course, for a genius who could not be recruited and who threatened the sect, Ning Fengzhi's first consideration would be assassination. However, Zhou Yi was, after all, a person of the Crown Prince, and they were naturally in the same camp, so he didn't think in that direction.

Ning Rongrong was a bit disappointed to hear the answer, while Qian Renxue was quite satisfied.

"However, although I won't join any faction, I still hope to be friends with you, Uncle Ning, and Rongrong. As for that move just now, consider it a gift for you."

"What? Is that really okay? So, that move just now was a self-created spirit skill? That makes sense; even a Millennium Soul Ring would certainly not reach this level of power." Ning Fengzhi was very happy.

Qian Renxue, on the other hand, looked at him with some resentment: You haven't given me a gift yet.

Sensing Qian Renxue's gaze, Zhou Yi quickly added.

"Of course, Xue Dage can learn it too. Everyone present can learn it." After hearing this, Qian Renxue retracted her gaze.

Thus, Zhou Yi began to explain the principles of the SpiralSphere to everyone.

"Uncle Ning, actually, most people can only complete the first stage of the SpiralSphere. The second stage requires the infusion of attribute changes to greatly increase its power. Of course, infusing attribute changes is also the most difficult step."

"A SpiralSphere without attribute changes can only increase in power by increasing soul power input. For many attack-type Spirit Masters, this is a drawback, as the gain from such increased soul power consumption is far less than that of their own powerful attack spirit skills."

"However, for you and Rongrong, Uncle Ning, this is not a drawback. SupportTypeSoulMasters are born with vast soul power and lack attack skills; this move can be said to be naturally suited for support Spirit Masters."

"Hmm, this move is indeed very interesting. If the people from the Element Academies learned it, their combat power would likely increase by a large margin."

As he spoke, Ning Fengzhi condensed a SpiralSphere in his hand, and it kept growing until its diameter reached over a meter. He was worthy of being a Sect Master who had cultivated the Seven Orifices Exquisite Heart; in terms of soul power control alone, he was absolutely top-tier on the Continent.

"Uncle Ning, rest assured, since it is a gift for your esteemed sect, I will not pass it on to other factions. Only those close to me, like Xue Dage, will learn this move."

Taking advantage of the time Zhou Yi was speaking, Ning Fengzhi signaled for Bone Douluo to test the move.

Looking at the ball over a meter wide in Ning Fengzhi's hand, Gu Rong didn't say a word and directly activated his Avatar of the Martial Soul. A massive Bone Dragon avatar appeared before him, and nine Soul Rings floated along with it.

Seeing that Bone Douluo was ready, Ning Fengzhi pressed his hand toward the Bone Dragon avatar. The two collided directly, and the surrounding air emitted a harsh, screeching sound.

Before long, Ning Fengzhi dissipated his soul power and looked at Bone Douluo. After Bone Douluo withdrew his Avatar of the Martial Soul, he was also very pleasantly surprised.

"Fengzhi, that strike of yours just now—an average Spirit Saint would not be able to withstand it, and even a Title Douluo could be held back for a short while."

"Hmm... Gu Shu, the soul power I used just now was less than 20 percent. Theoretically, the power of this move is limitless. If I had input all my soul power, perhaps even a Title Douluo would be injured if caught off guard."

After speaking, Ning Fengzhi looked at Zhou Yi again.

"Xiao Yi, to be honest, this move is of great significance to our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Whatever reward you want, just name it; even if it's a soul bone, I will find it for you."

"Uncle Ning, I don't really need any rewards. I just hope to be able to come here often in the future. It would be even better if I could receive guidance from the two Title Douluo seniors." That's right, he had his eyes on Sword Douluo's sword skills and Bone Douluo's insights into spatial manipulation.

Zhou Yi had used the SpiralSphere against Jian Chenxin earlier precisely to pique their curiosity.

Once he came often in the future, he didn't believe he wouldn't be able to "leech" things from the two Title Douluo.

"Hahaha, what kind of reward is that? Even if you didn't say it, the gates of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would always be open to you. As for Jian Shu and Gu Shu, they don't have much to do usually, they just know how to spoil Rongrong; you can just go find them."

"However, this doesn't count as a reward at all. Here, take this Black Card; it has 1 million Gold Spirit Coins inside. Also, take this Token. With this, you can come over anytime in the future without waiting to be announced." The more Ning Fengzhi looked at Zhou Yi, the more satisfied he was. But this was also fine; once he came over often and got familiar, perhaps he would change his mind in the future. At the very least, if he and Rongrong sparked something, then there would be no fear of him not belonging to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

"This... then thank you for your kindness, Uncle Ning." Zhou Yi didn't think to decline; he still quite wanted to be a rich man.

Beside him, Qian Renxue also felt gratified. She had brought Zhou Yi here to secure some benefits for him, and this result was quite good.

As for Ning Rongrong, she was also very happy. What made her happy was that she would be able to see this amazing handsome young man often in the future.
