Chapter 18: First came the Nine Treasures, then the Blue Silver, and later the Spirit Cat and White
Ning Rongrong sat in her seat, her ears ringing. The sounds around her seemed to be filtered through a membrane, coming in vaguely.
She heard Wu Changkong call out a few more names, heard someone stand up and introduce themselves, and heard the sound of tables and chairs being moved, but these sounds seemed to come from a very, very far place, and she couldn't get them into her mind.
Her entire attention was focused on that name: Yeats, Nine-Treasure Glazed Pagoda, Level 45.
Ning Rongrong took a deep breath and forced herself to calm down.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is the number one support-type martial soul in the world; no other support-type martial soul can surpass it.
But behind the glory lies a fatal limitation: the owner of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda can never break through to the eighth ring in their lifetime; the seventh ring is the limit.
There is only one way to break through this constraint: evolve the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda into the legendary Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
Only a nine-story pagoda can bear the power of nine rings, and only then can one reach the realm of a Title Douluo.
But that's just a legend, a legend that the successive sect leaders of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School could never reach in their entire lives.
And now, a man named Ye Zhi is sitting in this classroom, casually saying that his martial soul is the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
Ning Rongrong almost couldn't resist rushing up to ask for an explanation, but she forced herself to calm down.
"Yeats... his surname is Ye, not Ning."
"If she's not from the Ning family, how does she possess the Nine-Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda?"
A thought popped into her mind: Could it be that her philandering father had fathered a child outside of marriage?
Ning Rongrong's lips twitched slightly as she thought of this.
That's really hard to say. Ning Fengzhi has a lot of female confidantes outside, and the disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School all know this in private.
If a half-sister suddenly appeared one day, Ning Rongrong wouldn't be too surprised.
"I must ask her after class."
Ning Rongrong made up her mind, her gaze fixed on Ye Zhi's back, lingering there for a long time.
Meanwhile, Zhu Zhuqing, sitting not far away, was also in a state of unease.
A hint of shock appeared in her beautiful eyes.
Level 45.
One of her classmates was actually a fourth-ring Soul Master, while Zhu Zhuqing, despite her desperate cultivation, was only at level twenty-seven.
Zhu Zhuqing recalled her innate soul power, level seven.
A level seven innate soul power is considered quite a talent for an ordinary person. In commoner families in the Star Luo Empire, a child with a level seven innate soul power would be treated like a treasure.
However, she did not come from a commoner family; she had the blood of the Star Luo Empire's royal family flowing through her veins.
In that imperial family, a level seven innate soul power... is far from enough.
She cultivated relentlessly, honing her soul power and combat skills day and night, as she fled all the way from the Star Luo Empire to this place.
She thought she had already worked very hard and that her progress was fast enough.
But today, Yeats sat there and told her a cruel truth with a single sentence: she was not strong enough, far from strong enough.
Zhu Zhuqing lowered her eyes, a hint of unwillingness reflected in her dark eyes. She wanted to become stronger, strong enough to control her own destiny.
Besides Ye Zhi, there were several other students she had never seen before, sitting at the back of the classroom. Their soul power levels were all quite high.
Just then, Wu Changkong called out another name.
"Tang Wulin".
A boy stood up from his seat.
He looked about the same age as Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing, with bright eyes and a kind smile.
"My name is Tang Wulin, my martial soul is Blue Silver Grass, and I am a level 28 control-type battle soul master."
Ning Rongrong was taken aback when she heard the words "Blue Silver Grass".
Yesterday's Tang San also had Blue Silver Grass as his spirit, and his spirit power level was one level higher than Tang Wulin's.
At this moment, Ning Rongrong also noticed a problem: Tang Wulin's surname is Tang, Tang San's surname is also Tang, their soul power levels are similar, and they both have Blue Silver Grass martial souls. She always felt that Tang Wulin and Tang San had some connection.
She couldn't explain it; it was just a gut feeling.
Wu Changkong continued calling roll.
One unfamiliar name after another was read out, and one internal trainee after another stood up to introduce themselves.
Their soul power levels are generally above level 30, and some are even close to level 40.
Ning Rongrong became increasingly alarmed as she listened, and her opinion of the academy rose even higher.
"Dancing Silk Flower".
Wu Siduo, who was sitting next to Ning Rongrong, stood up.
Ning Rongrong turned her head and looked at the familiar face, feeling a sense of anticipation. She had long felt that Wu Siduo was not simple, but she never knew exactly how strong she was.
Now I finally have the chance to hear it.
Wu Siduo stood up straight, her expression still indifferent, her gaze fixed straight ahead, and her tone unhurried.
"Wu Siduo, twin martial souls, Evil-Eyed White Tiger and Netherworld Cat, level 44 agility-attack type battle soul master."
Upon hearing Wu Siduo's self-introduction, everyone was stunned. Twin martial souls? They had basically never seen them before, especially not the Evil-Eyed White Tiger and the Netherworld Spirit Cat.
Zhu Zhuqing suddenly raised her head, and an unprecedented light flashed in her usually indifferent black eyes, her face full of disbelief.
She stared at Wu Siduo, her lips slightly parted, then closed again.
Evil-eyed White Tiger, Netherworld Spirit Cat.
She was very familiar with these two martial souls.
The Evil-Eyed White Tiger is the inherited martial soul of the Dai family of the Star Luo Empire; the Netherworld Spirit Cat is the inherited martial soul of the Zhu family of the Star Luo Empire.
Through generations of intermarriage, the two families jointly control the core power of the Star Luo Empire. Each generation of the Evil-Eyed White Tiger's successor will become a partner with the successor of the Netherworld Spirit Cat.
But now, a person stands in front of her, claiming to possess both of these martial souls.
Zhu Zhuqing's heart was in turmoil. She looked at Wu Siduo's indifferent face, her mind blank.
How is this possible? How can two different martial souls exist in one person at the same time?
Zhu Zhuqing couldn't understand it. She lowered her head and looked at her hands on the table, her fingers trembling slightly.
Her own strength was completely inadequate in this academy, and... she wanted to learn more about this girl named Wu Siduo, and what her relationship was with the Star Luo Empire.
Ning Rongrong focused her attention on the surnames of Wu Siduo and Wu Changkong. They shared the same surname but looked different, which must have been a coincidence.
Soon, Ning Rongrong's attention fell on Ye Zhi.
