Chapter 24: Teaching Fuxi

"Uncle Ning, this time I want to present you with an entirely new cultivation system; I call it the Supernatural Power System."

"Oh? An entirely new system—does such a thing really exist?"

"Yes. During my previous travels, by a stroke of luck, I obtained a Divine Ability named 'Fuxi'. This Divine Ability has the power to turn writing and talismans into something miraculous from the mundane. Most importantly, cultivating this Divine Ability does not require soul power; it relies entirely on the user's comprehension of the Dao involved in that Divine Ability."

"Even a mortal without soul power can gain formidable strength after a moment of sudden enlightenment. Next, I will briefly demonstrate the miraculous nature of this Divine Ability."

At this moment, as the conversation progressed, the expressions on the faces of Ning Fengzhi and the others shifted from curiosity to seriousness. Hearing that Zhou Yi was about to demonstrate it, they observed his every movement with rapt attention.

Zhou Yi was seen taking a brush and ink from his Angel Wings. After dipping the brush in ink, he solemnly and carefully wrote the character "Gathering" on the ground. Although this "Gathering" character did not rival that of a master calligrapher, it was, after all, the result of over a month of practice by Zhou Yi, and it looked vigorous and powerful.

Behind him, a small Dragon faintly emerged. Subsequently, this somewhat translucent small Dragon scrutinized the text on the ground for a moment before crashing into it, merging into the character.

Instantly, the "Gathering" character flashed with golden light. Thereafter, within the reception hall, the soul power surrounding the "Gathering" character was gathered in a way visible to the naked eye, and the concentration of soul power in the air rose continuously.

Seeing this scene, Ning Fengzhi, Jian Chenxin, and Gu Rong were filled with shock. They looked at each other, for they had truly not detected a single trace of soul power output from Zhou Yi. They had a premonition that this system would definitely change the landscape of the Continent in the future.

Sword Douluo could not help but say to Zhou Yi, "Kid! Are there any other uses? Hurry up and demonstrate them!"

"Alright!"

After Zhou Yi finished speaking, he took out a palm-sized blank talisman and carefully wrote the character "Strength" upon it.

Likewise, the small Dragon behind him merged into it, and the "Strength" character on this talisman instantly shimmered with flowing light.

"Uncle Ning, stick it on your arm and feel your strength."

Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi solemnly took it, stuck it on his right arm, closed his eyes, and clenched his fist to carefully perceive the change in his strength.

"The power of this Divine Ability is truly miraculous. I can feel the strength of my right hand has clearly increased."

"Jian Shu, come help me test it."

Subsequently, he removed the "Strength" talisman and shook hands firmly with Sword Douluo, then stuck it on and shook hands again.

"Fengzhi, I can feel that your strength has increased by twofold!"

"This... is the power of this Divine Ability not too terrifying? Doesn't this mean a SupportTypeSoulMaster could possess countless soul skills without being restricted by Soul Rings?"

Bone Douluo, watching from the side, also found it hard to accept reality.

"No, in fact, the power of this Divine Ability goes far beyond this. I am only a beginner who has just learned it for two months; what I just demonstrated is merely the tip of the iceberg. If I knew how to paint, even the scenes and objects within the paintings would manifest."

Seeing the seriousness and astonishment on the faces of the three, Zhou Yi also offered them some guidance.

"But you need not be overly wary. The cultivation of Divine Abilities also depends on talent and time, which is similar to a Spirit Master. The higher the user's comprehension of literature, calligraphy, and painting, the stronger the power displayed by this Fuxi Divine Ability."

"Currently, people on the Continent generally spend their time on cultivation and have almost no understanding of poetry, books, painting, or art, so they would be completely unable to unleash the power of the Divine Ability. If one wishes to study literature, their soul power cultivation and combat techniques would fall behind. Therefore, at this stage, if the Divine Ability were to spread, the Spirit Masters who would gain the greatest benefits would still be SupportTypeSoulMaster and battle Spirit Masters unable to break through their bottlenecks."

"Of course, the greatest impact would be on commoners without soul power, though this will not show obvious changes for the time being. Only after a few decades might it impact the Spirit Master system."

"Uncle Ning, speaking of those with deep literary foundations, you are the first person who comes to my mind. As for me, I am actually not skilled in calligraphy and painting; I hope to learn poetry, literature, and painting from you, and we can develop this Divine Ability together."

Hearing Zhou Yi's words, Ning Fengzhi frowned slightly, countless thoughts flashing through his mind. The two Title Douluo also closed their eyes in contemplation.

After thinking for a while, Ning Fengzhi suddenly smiled gently.

"Xiaoyi, I hope you can delay the spread of this Supernatural Power System to the outside world for at least ten years. If you agree to this condition, not only will I teach you calligraphy and painting, but if you have any problems with your cultivation, you can also consult Jian Shu and Gu Shu at any time. Furthermore, the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will be your backing. If you encounter danger, no matter who the opponent is, Jian Shu, Gu Shu, and I will help you. What do you think?"

Good heavens, this Ning Fengzhi was indeed extremely shrewd. In this way, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would not only lead the world but also maintain a long-term partnership with a genius like Zhou Yi. Although Zhou Yi and Ning Fengzhi could not be considered master and disciple—at most, it was a transaction—with this relationship, they would at least be long-term friends.

However, this was indeed the optimal win-win cooperation. In these ten years, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect could develop to its heart's content by relying on the world-leading Divine Ability, including recruiting talented commoners. Even if the world landscape changed in the future, it would still occupy a dominant position.

Ning Fengzhi had actually considered directly suppressing the development of the Divine Ability, but upon careful thought, accepting it would actually bring greater improvement to the sect.

"Alright! Uncle Ning, I agree. Within ten years, apart from those closest to me, I will not teach the Fuxi Divine Ability to any other forces or people. Furthermore, I will not let those close to me spread it."

"A gentleman's word is as good as his bond." As he spoke, he reached out his hand to Ning Fengzhi.

Seeing this, Ning Fengzhi completely relaxed, laughed heartily, and grasped Zhou Yi's hand.

"Hahahaha, Xiaoyi, I trust your character!"

The two elders on the side, seeing that Ning Fengzhi had already made up his mind, said nothing more and also nodded with a smile.

"Daddy, Sword Grandpa, Bone Grandpa, what are you all laughing at?"

It turned out that Ning Rongrong had also heard the news of Ning Fengzhi and the others' return, but she had been wandering a bit far with Zhu Zhuqing and had only just returned here.

"Rongrong, Daddy is laughing because the strength of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect can advance further."

"Really? That's great!" Although Ning Rongrong did not know what had happened, she was happy to hear that the sect's strength could become even greater.

"By the way, Daddy~ this is my new friend, Zhu Zhuqing. Can she stay here today? I don't want to be separated from her yet."

Zhu Zhuqing, who had been pulled over to the side, was also a bit reserved when facing Ning Fengzhi and the others, and politely said, "Greetings, Senior Ning."

"No problem. It's rare for Rongrong to make a new friend; how could Daddy refuse? Little friend Zhuqing, Rongrong is usually spoiled by me. If there is any offense, please bear with her, little friend."

Ning Fengzhi was also in high spirits and directly agreed to the request.

"What is this, Daddy is so annoying! Speaking ill of me to Zhuqing in front of me, I'm ignoring you. Zhuqing, let's go!"
