Douluo V: Starting from Joining the Spirit Hall

"We have to wait for someone here."

Ning Rongrong stood at the edge of the deep forest, looking through the layers of branches and leaves, staring at the distant sky. The dusk sunlight fell like golden threads, reflecting mottledly on her face, giving her soft features a layer of light gold. An inexplicable anxiety arose in her heart, and she couldn't help but murmur to herself: "We have to wait for someone here. But who are we waiting for? What does this person mean to him?"

As the last ray of sunlight slowly fell, the entire forest seemed to be swallowed up by darkness, and Ning Rongrong's heart sank. She couldn't help tightening her clothes, feeling the coolness in the night breeze. The leaves in the forest rustle, seeming to tell unknown secrets. Ning Rongrong's body curled up involuntarily. She hugged herself tightly and told herself over and over again: "Don't be afraid, don't be afraid."

Bai Chen's voice was like a warm wind in the darkness, gently blowing away the fear in Ning Rongrong's heart. He walked up to her and patted her shoulder gently. The solid touch made her heartbeat calmer a little.

"Don't be afraid, I'm here." Bai Chen's voice was low and firm, like a guardian comforting his little girl.

Ning Rongrong nodded slightly and uttered one word between her pursed lips: "Yes."

Bai Chen turned around and walked deep into the forest. He easily found some dry firewood as if he knew where the treasure was. The firelight jumped in his hands, gradually forming a warm little world.

When the first ray of firelight illuminated Ning Rongrong's face, the tension and uneasiness in her eyes were gradually replaced by warmth. The firelight swayed in the forest, intertwining with the night to create a quiet and harmonious picture. Ning Rongrong's body was no longer tense. She relaxed and sat by the fire, letting the warm light fall on her body.

Ning Rongrong's eyes shone firmly under the firelight. She stared at Bai Chen closely, as if she wanted to see through his eyes his true inner thoughts. With an imperceptible tremor in her voice, she asked, "Why are you arresting me? Is it because you are the Holy Son of the Soul Palace, or maybe you want to use me to threaten the entire Seven Treasures Glazed Sect?"

Bai Chen smiled slightly, and the smile looked a bit mysterious in the firelight. He shook his head and said, "You are right in your guess, but you are only half right. I am indeed the Holy Son of the Soul Palace, but I did not arrest you to threaten the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect."

He paused and his gaze became deep, as if he wanted to see through Ning Rongrong's soul. He spoke slowly, his voice low and full of temptation: "I am arresting you because you have huge potential. Although your Qibao Glazed Pagoda martial spirit is powerful, it has its limit. You can only have seven soul rings in your life. This For you, it is undoubtedly a constraint."

"So even if you have a little talent, you can only become a level 70 soul saint, and the conditions I give you can change your martial soul from the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda to the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda."

Ning Rongrong's eyes widened, and her heartbeat accelerated instantly, as if it was about to jump out of her chest. Bai Chen's words set off a storm in her heart. She could not imagine that her martial soul could evolve from the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda to the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda. That is a legendary existence, a martial spirit that can only be possessed by legendary geniuses.

She stared at Bai Chen closely, trying to find any trace of lying on his face. However, Bai Chen's eyes were firm and deep, as if he could see through her soul. His voice was low and powerful, and every word hit her heart like a heavy hammer.

"Do you believe me?" Bai Chen asked.

Ning Rongrong did not answer immediately, she was going through a fierce struggle in her heart. She knew that she couldn't trust a stranger easily, especially when this stranger was the Holy Son of the Soul Palace. However, she couldn't resist the temptation to become stronger. Her eyes lingered on Bai Chen's face, and finally, she nodded.

The moment Ning Rongrong nodded, Bai Chen's eyes flashed with satisfaction. He stretched out his hand, palm upward, and a crystal clear bead appeared out of thin air in his hand. The bead exuded a faint light and seemed to contain infinite power.

"This is a treasure. As long as you absorb it, your martial spirit can evolve into the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda." Bai Chen's voice was full of temptation.

Ning Rongrong's eyes widened, and as she looked at the bead, the hesitation and struggle in her heart gradually disappeared. She took a deep breath, stretched out her trembling hand, and slowly took the bead.

"Absorb this and Zhu Zi, and then your martial spirit can evolve into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda."

Ning Rongrong sat by the fire, holding the bead tightly with both hands, her heartbeat echoing in the silent forest. Bai Chen's voice rang in her ears, like magic, causing her to fall into deep thought. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath, trying to calm down the excitement and tension in her heart.

She slowly placed the bead on her knees and stared at the faint light it gave off. The light was warm and soft, as if there was a mysterious force attracting her. She took a deep breath and pressed the beads tightly to her forehead, feeling the weak power coming from the beads.

As time passed, the beads seemed to gradually wake up under her body temperature. It began to glow brighter, warm and dazzling. Ning Rongrong felt a warm current coming from her forehead and gradually spreading to her whole body. Her body seemed to be wrapped in this power, warm and comfortable.

Ning Rongrong's body gradually adapted to that power with Bai Chen's help. She felt as if her soul had some wonderful connection with the beads, and the power poured into her body continuously, warm and powerful.

Suddenly, Ning Rongrong's body trembled violently, and she felt a huge force burst out from the beads, shooting straight into the sky. Her martial spirit seemed to be awakened at this moment, and the light of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Tower instantly became dazzling.

However, this is just the beginning. As the power in the beads continued to pour in, Ning Rongrong's martial soul began to undergo earth-shaking changes. The light of the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda gradually became softer and deeper, and the tower began to emit a faint golden light.

Ning Rongrong felt as if her body was being pulled by an invisible force. Her consciousness gradually blurred and she fell into a mysterious state. When she opened her eyes again, she found that her martial spirit had undergone earth-shaking changes.

The Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda is no longer the Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda, but has become the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda! The tower exudes dazzling golden light, as if it contains infinite power. Ning Rongrong felt as if her soul was completely integrated with the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, and her strength was greatly improved at this moment.

She looked at her hand in surprise. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, which could only have seven soul rings attached to it, had now become the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. There was a firm light in her eyes, and she knew that this was a great blessing for her.
