Douluo Dalu: A Great Big Brother

Chapter 39 - SEVEN TREASURES PAGODA CLAN

At seven treasures pagoda clan, Rongrong was sitting on the l.a.p of an old man. Even though he was sitting down, his stature was still astonishing. It wasn't that he had the robustness of swelling muscles, but his whole frame was extremely astonishing. When he sat in the originally very spacious sofa he clearly made it seem narrow.

His clothes seemed to be entirely propped up by his skeleton, muscles and skin were both withered, his eye sockets were deep caves, and if seen late at night it would simply be like an immense cranium. This old man was none other than the most secretive douluo of continent: BONE DOULUO, One of two douluo present in seven treasures pagoda clan.

Rongrong was upset that she came home for more than half a day and her father was not there, therefore Bone douluo who can claim that he has seen Rongrong from birth and was grandfather to Rongrong was keeping her on his l.a.p to brighten up her mood. He was also one of the reasons why the Rongrong's attitude was bad at the start. He was playing with her.

In the evening Ning Frengzhi and white dressed old man came to the clan. Ning Frengzhi said: "I heard our little she-devil has returned? Where is she, Rongrong, come quickly, let daddy have a look."

Hearing this voice, Ning Rongrong first excitedly wanted to run meet him, but then remembered she was still angry and hastily faced in the other direction, turning her back to the door. That charming appearance seemed a bit funny to the Bone Douluo sitting on the sofa.

Ning Fengzhi looked at his daughter and hurriedly walked forward: "Silly girl, what are you doing with your back to daddy. It's been a year. Daddy missed you so much!"

Ning Rongrong turned around sharply: "Missed me? It would be a wonder if you didn't long for me to be away from home."

Ning Fengzhi seeing his seething daughter couldn't help but inwardly feel his heart fall. First sitting down on the sofa he held out a hand to pull over his daughter but didn't expect Ning Rongrong to turn around and dodge away. Not catching his daughter startled Ning Fengzhi. Even though he was an auxiliary system Spirit Master, reaching an enormous spirit power of more than the seventieth rank still had a powerful transforming effect on his body, making him much stronger than ordinary people. Ning Rongrong had inherited his spirit and was also auxiliary system. Even though he was only grabbing in passing, he still didn't move slowly, but he had actually been easily dodged by his daughter.

Ning Rongrong wasn't aware of her father's shock and directly turned to that white dressed old man, throwing herself into his arms"Grandpa Sword, Grandpa Sword, I've missed you to death. Wuuu..." Meeting her family again after a long time, Ning Rongrong was after all a young girl. Moved, she immediately started to cry.

The white-dressed old man hastily drew her into a tight embrace, "Good girl, my little darling, you've come back, grandpa Sword also missed you! Missed you desperately."

Ning Rongrong raised her head: "Really?"

The white-dressed old man firmly said: "Of course really, if you don't believe me just ask your grandpa Bone."

Ning Rongrong blinked her clear big eyes: "But, just now grandpa Bone told me, he missed me a little bit more than you."

"Bullshit." The white-dressed old man didn't give the wizened old man a bit of face, "Clearly I missed you more." "You're bullshitting." The wizened old man suddenly stood up from the sofa. His terrifying height approached two meters fifty, and with his hoarse voice, he seemed even more frightful. This white dressed old man was SWORD DOULUO A douluo of rank 96 and another douluo of seven treasures pagoda clan. These two old men were actual Backbone of the clan and reason for Rongrong's spoiled nature. As even sect master Ning Frengzhi has to be respectful towards them, and they spoiled her daughter too much.

"Alright, alright. Uncle Sword, uncle Bone, you've fought for a lifetime. Rongrong just got back, just let it go today." Ning Fengzhi helplessly looked at the two old men in front of him.

"Hmph." The white-clothed old man and wizened old man snorted practically simultaneously. None of them looked at each other, and both their gazes fell on Ning Rongrong.

Ning Fengzhi calmly raised his hand to pull in his daughter, but who could have expected that Ning Rongrong would turn around again, still dodging his hand. Pouting she said: "The present first, otherwise no hug."

This time it wasn't just Ning Fengzhi who was startled, the two old men both couldn't help look at each other with shock. Because of the special nature of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, even a Title Douluo couldn't see how much spirit power she had.

Ning Fengzhi's heart twitched, and he asked:

"Rongrong, first tell daddy your soul power rank. If you've made progress, daddy can give you the present."

Hearing her father ask about her spirit power, Ning Rongrong immediately straightened with pride,

"Daddy, my natural talent is even better than yours. I haven't been goofing off this year. My soul power didn't rise that much, just a tolerable 18 ranks."

"So little. Rongrong, you must work hard, hold on, how much did you say?"Ning Fengzhi knew his daughter only too well. From childhood what she disliked the most was cultivation. Even though she had talent, she always had to be forced to train a moment in exchange for all sorts of benefits.

As he became aware that Ning Rongrong said '18 ranks', his expression was disbelieving. Ning Rongrong blinked with her big eyes, and very innocently looked at her father," I said 18 ranks! It's really not much, but I worked hard."

Ning Fengzhi's voice had changed slightly,

"18 ranks? When you left you had twenty-seven ranks. Then you're saying you already rank 45? You wouldn't lie to daddy."

Ning Rongrong said: "Bad daddy, not believing others. Even if Rongrong was a bit naughty before, I would never lie. If you don't believe it, let grandpa's have a look." While speaking, she directly ran over in front of the white-dressed old man, holding out her little hand.

The white-dressed old man grabbed Ning Rongrong's hand, and after a little while his expression turned to surprise,

"Fengzhi, it's true. This girl's soul power has reached the fourth fifth rank. This really is too inconceivable. I've never heard of someone that could gain 18 ranks of spirit power in one year. Even that kid called the youngest Spirit Master ever couldn't do it. Don't tell me our Rongrong really is a genius? Or is that Shrek Academy so awesome."

Ning Rongrong curiously said: "Grandpa Sword, how did you know I went to Shrek Academy?"

The white-dressed old man said: "How couldn't I know? You're the darling treasure of our hearts. Your daddy has always grasped your whereabouts."

Ning Fengzhi's expression had turned serious. Both he and the two clan guests before him clearly understood the process of Spirit Master cultivation. A Spirit Master who wanted to increase cultivation had to do it step by step. Doing it too impetuously would lead to life-threatening danger. He in no way wished for his daughter to be taught that kind of cultivation method at Shrek Academy. Thinking of this, there was a deadly energy in Ning Fengzhi's eyes. The white-dressed old man and the wizened old man clearly also thought of this possibility. Their expressions dropped simultaneously.

Ning Rongrong looked at the two grandpas, looked again at her father, and somewhat baffled said: "What's going on with you? Why aren't you saying anything?"

Ning Fengzhi stood up, walking over to his daughter: "Rongrong, immediately tell us everything about cultivating at Shrek Academy over this past year, you can't omit anything. I want to know how you could improve this quickly." If his daughter had truly cultivated with that nefarious method, it was after all only for one year. As the leading scholar of auxiliary system Spirit Masters, there might still be a way to revert it.

Ning Rongrong baffled looked at her father,

"Daddy, is something wrong? I've cultivated it properly. You call me lazy, but I've gained this much soul power now, so why are you so nervous?"

Ning Fengzhi grimly said:

"I'm afraid you might've taken a wrong step. Daddy isn't joking with you. Quickly tell me your entire cultivation process."

Even though Ning Rongrong ordinarily didn't fear her father, when Ning Fengzhi was truly serious she was still scared: "Originally I secretly ran away to Shrek Academy. After enrolling, I discovered I was actually the weakest one."

Ning Rongrong immediately began to talk about everything that happened since entering Shrek Academy, giving an account of her cultivation process, meals made of precious herbs and soul beasts, a manual which she can't give to others but told them about its benefit etc at Shrek Academy she left presence of three douluo's & special cultivation environment as she vowed to the academy's that she won't reveal it. Regarding the Shrek eight students, she simply described them in a few sentences.

When Ning Rongrong talked about how the other Shrek eight students excluded her at first, the wizened old man to the side couldn't help saying:

"Rongrong, are you sure you didn't make a mistake, were those children with you there all stronger than you? And three already at rank 40, so young?"

Ning Rongrong giggled, saying: "I knew you wouldn't believe me. Our dean Flander has a saying, Shrek Academy only accepts monsters, not ordinary people. He calls us little monsters."

The white-dressed old man said:

"If it's really like you say, then those little monsters of yours really are little monsters. Shrek Academy indeed deserves its reputation. But even like this, I can't believe he could teach you to cultivate eighteen ranks of spirit power in one year more than 8 or 9 ranks maybe but 18ranks in one year."

Ning Rongrong said: "Just listen…... "She talked about Grandmaster and two other teachers coming to Shrek Academy and starting to advance their training after giving them manuals. Listening to her description, Ning Fengzhi and the two old men gradually displayed expressions of sudden understanding. At the same time, they couldn't help feeling inwardly admiring.

Ning Rongrong spoke up to entering the new Shrek Academy to cultivate,

"... Two months ago. After I reached the fortieth rank, with the teacher's help I obtained my fourth spirit ring."

"Hold on."Ning Fengzhi interrupted Ning Rongrong,

"That Grandmaster and two teachers are real characters. Your spirit power grew by 13 ranks in one year under their instruction, that's still very extraordinary. I greatly admire their education. But according to what you said, two months ago you were still at the forty-first rank. But two months later you've already reached the forty-fifth rank, how did this come about?"

Ning Rongrong smiled mysteriously: "Actually, two days ago I was still at the forty-first rank. These last four ranks were practically done in a day."

"Rongrong, you mustn't frighten grandpa." The wizened old man couldn't help opening his eyes wide. He knew that the more that nefarious cultivation method increased cultivation speed, the more vitality it consumed. Gaining four ranks in one day, that might expend decades life.

A giggle escaped from Ning Rongrong: "What are you up to, I still thought to give you a nice surprise but how did it turn into alarm. It's actually nothing. I just ate a kind of pill and gained this much strength."

"Pill?" Ning Fengzhi nervously questioned in detail:

"What pill?"

Ning Rongrong said: "My third brother said that it was a pill with the base of immortal herb called something like 'Beautiful Silk Tulip'. It's a rare immortal treasure." She blushed remembering about Tang Chen.

In Ning Fengzhi's mind suddenly appeared three silhouettes he had met just recently, it couldn't be them? "Beautiful silk tulip? Uncle Sword, uncle Bone. Have either of you heard of this herb?"

The two old men shook their heads simultaneously with blank faces. The wizened old man said: "Perhaps, only that old poisonous thing Dugu Bo would know. No good, Fengzhi, we have to examine Rongrong's condition at once. If by any chance her spirit power growth came at the cost of her vitality, we have to think of a way to deal with it at once."

"Grandpa bone, I said there's no need to be worried. My third brother said that those herbs in pills were all immortal treasures that had absorbed the essence of heaven and earth, with a powerful effect on the foundations. Not only wouldn't they cause harm, they would even consolidate the foundations. Forget about it. I won't hide it anymore. I'll let you have the real surprise. After you've seen this you won't doubt it again." While speaking, Ning Rongrong slowly raised her right hand. Dazzlingly beautiful multicolored rays of light began to coalesce at her palm.

Watching the light condense in his daughter's palm, Ning Fengzhi suddenly felt somewhat strange, but for a moment he was unable to say where the strangeness came from. At the dazzlingly beautiful pagoda were two yellow and two purple, four spirit rings revolving in Ning Rongrong's right hand. The dazzling splendor immediately made the hall become even brighter.

Before Ning Fengzhi could look closer, the white-dressed old man at his side cried out in surprise,

"Nine layers, Nine Treasure Pagoda?"

"What?" Ning Fengzhi had a greatly alarmed expression. He finally understood what had made him feel strange, it was precisely the colors in Ning Rongrong's palm as she released her spirit. Different from the original seven colors, there were two more than before. It had become nine colors, and the pagoda in her palm right now had nine levels. As the most powerful support spirit, the Seven Treasure School actually had a secret, and this secret actually related to their spirit. Heaven was impartial, the effect of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda on the battlefield was actually too frightful. Therefore, it also had a flaw. The reason why the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was known as Seven Treasure was not only because it had seven levels, even more, important was that this spirit could only hold up to seven spirit rings, two less than any other spirit. This was also the reason why Ning Fengzhi, even as schoolmaster, only had seventy-ninth rank spirit power, the main reason he had never been able to break through to the next level.

In the legends of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, if by some stroke of luck the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda could evolve to the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, not only would it strengthen the spirit's own foundations, it would also have an even vaster space. Once a Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda Spirit Master reached the nine ring Title Douluo level, he would possess the title of support god, with the strength to turn the tide of any battle. At this moment, Ning Fengzhi no longer had to worry about his daughter. The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda already proved that Ning Rongrong's vitality hadn't been cut short, on the contrary, it had substantially increased, and her foundations had further become incomparably stable. Right now this Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School master's heart suffered from a completely different kind of shock. How could he have expected that the dream he had held for his entire life would appear with his daughter? The happiness had appeared too suddenly, and he was now completely lifeless.

It wasn't just Ning Fengzhi who was moved. The two old men also became equally excited. Both looking at the pagoda in Ning Rongrong's hand, for a while they didn't know what to say.

The jewel light faded as Ning Rongrong withdrew her spirit,

"You should believe me now. How would the third brother harm me? It's not just me, each of us got a pill with heavenly treasure herb, everyone's spirit or soul power evolved very quickly."

"Beautiful Silk Tulip, Beautiful Silk Tulip. What kind of treasure is that pill? It can actually promote my daughter's seven treasure to nine treasure. Such a herb is absolutely worthy of being called an immortal treasure."

"Daddy, weren't you going to give me a present? Hand it over quickly!"

Ning Rongrong held out her hand, wagging it in front of Ning Fengzhi.

Ning Fengzhi stretched his hand into his c.h.e.s.t pocket, taking out the Powder Shooting Shadow and Silent Sleeve Dart some of low-level hidden weapons of Tang Sect he had purchased just today at the auction and gave them to Ning Rongrong: "I bought these today at the auction. Although the power of these two weapons isn't all that great, they can still provide a certain protection. Yi, Rongrong, why are you looking at daddy with such an expression?"

"Powder Shooting Shadow, Silent Sleeve Dart. Daddy, how did you get the third and fourth brother's hidden weapons?" How couldn't Ning Rongrong recognize Tang Chen&San's trademark hidden weapons?

"This was made by that third and fourth brother of yours?" Inwardly Ning Fengzhi thought that it was indeed the case, that seemingly common handsome youths were actually really such geniuses?

Ning Rongrong pulled up her sleeve, exposing the Silent Sleeve Dart on her left wrist,

"Look, isn't this the same? These two are still the most ordinary and of the lowest quality in forging. I'm still wearing several kinds that are more powerful. Coming back this time is because I missed you, and another matter, I was preparing to ask daddy whether we could equip our directly related clansmen with these hidden weapons. If used properly they will have a lot of power."

Ning Fengzhi slowly drew in a breath, his expression revealing a somewhat serious light,

"I really want to know, this third brother of yours, precisely what kind of genius he is."

The white-dressed old man thought about it deeply: "If he's really outstanding, he might a candidate for grandson-in-law."

Ning Rongrong's charming face blushed hard

"Grandpa Sword, don't talk nonsense. I..." This didn't escape from others. Two old men and Ning Frengzhi was smiling. As they may get another backbone for the future of the clan. Ning Frengzhi told her to go and rest they will test weapons with her tomorrow and may go to Shrek academy at noon.
