Chapter 349 - Douluo: Emerald Poison Emperor [349]
"Although these treasures are different from soul bones, they are still supreme treasures capable of changing the fate of the soul master world."
As a support-oriented sect, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had long sought a way for soul masters with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul to gain self-defense abilities. After deeply experiencing how soul tools enhanced him as a support-type soul master, Ning Fengzhi immediately concluded that these seemingly unremarkable soul tools would change the future of the entire soul master world.
Yes, Ning Fengzhi was a traditional soul master and did not fully understand soul engineers or their technicalities. However, as a wise man, his lack of understanding did not mean he rejected soul tools.
In his view, soul tools were like external soul bones. A handheld soul tool gun could provide a beam-like spirit skill, while a wearable shield could offer defensive spirit skills. In essence, they were tools that enhanced the strength and versatility of soul masters, much like soul bones—only more convenient.
Would soul tools disrupt the status of battle soul masters across the continent?
Ning Fengzhi believed that soul tools would have an impact. However, if battle soul masters also equipped themselves with soul tools—using defensive tools to cover their weaknesses or offensive tools to compensate for their lack of attack power—their strength would only increase to a new level.
Ning Fengzhi handed the soul tool ray gun to the wide-eyed Ning Rongrong, who was filled with excitement. His gaze turned to Chen Ming with unrestrained greed. His eager look was completely unlike the image of the cunning old fox Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect master he usually projected. Instead, he looked more like a naive novice.
Taking a step forward, Ning Fengzhi tightly clasped Chen Ming's hands, his expression ablaze with passion.
"Apologies, Dugu Your Excellency. Chen Ming, I know what I'm about to say may seem abrupt and inappropriate, but I speak from the bottom of my heart."
"Although young friend Chen Ming already has a fiancée, Dugu Yan, my daughter, Ning Rongrong, has long harbored significant affection for young friend Chen Ming."
"Wait, Ning Fengzhi, what do you mean by this?" Dugu Bo stepped forward with displeasure, glaring at Ning Fengzhi. Watching this unfold, the two elders, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, sighed. Bone Douluo shielded the embarrassed Ning Rongrong, who was covering her face in shyness, while Sword Douluo stepped forward to stand in front of Ning Fengzhi.
Currently, Bone Douluo's strength is at Rank 96, and Sword Douluo's at Rank 97. Compared to their counterparts at this point in the original story, both had advanced by one rank.
The primary reason was a secondhand understanding of the laws articulated by Chen Ming a few years ago, which had given them some insights. After years of secluded cultivation, they successfully broke through their bottlenecks and advanced their powers.
Honestly, Sword Douluo had no words to say. He found Ning Fengzhi's current behavior somewhat unbecoming. But as a Guardian Douluo of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, he completely understood why Ning Fengzhi was so excited, even going so far as to reveal his vulnerability.
For generations, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect masters had pursued many things, but two goals stood out as unfulfilled legacies:
A means to support soul masters to protect themselves.
Evolving the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
These two aspirations weighed heavily on every sect master, almost like a curse or nightmare passed down through the generations.
From the moment a successor could speak, they would hear their elders repeatedly emphasize these two goals. They would then spend their entire lives pursuing them, only to pass the same unfulfilled dreams to the next generation, who would continue the cycle.

"Dugu Your Excellency, I mean no harm. I am simply overwhelmed with emotion. As a poison soul master, your path is different from ours at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, but you must understand the weight of expectations left by one's ancestors."
Ning Fengzhi struggled to maintain his composure, trying not to sound incoherent.
"We have always sought ways to support soul masters to gain defensive and offensive capabilities, yet we've made no progress. Just as, before you became a Titled Douluo, all poison attribute soul masters across the continent yearned for a poison-type Titled Douluo to arise, our ancestors repeatedly urged us to find this path."
"Dugu Your Excellency, I truly mean no harm, nor do I intend to sow discord. All I want is to seek a way forward for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect."
"No matter the value of these soul tools, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is willing to buy them. If you could share some of the techniques of soul engineering with us, even the most basic ones, we would offer you a grand reward."
"If Your Excellency and young friend Chen Ming are willing, my daughter Ning Rongrong could marry into your family. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would provide a generous dowry to deepen our relationship."
"If this is not acceptable, then perhaps the future children of Chen Ming and your granddaughter could be betrothed to our sect. Regardless of gender, we would arrange for them to marry into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and share the position of sect master. Their descendants would inherit the role of sect master in the future."
"What do Your Excellency and young friend Chen Ming think?"
"Hmph." Although still displeased by Ning Fengzhi's blatant ambition regarding his grandson-in-law, Dugu Bo did not show too much hostility. Ning Fengzhi's reasoning reminded him of the poison techniques passed down in his own family.
If he were in Ning Fengzhi's position and saw someone capable of solving his family's poison problems with a background similar to his own, his thoughts and actions would likely not differ much from Ning Fengzhi's.
Even if it meant his granddaughter had to humble herself, he would ensure the family's poison legacy was resolved.
While Dugu Bo could empathize with Ning Fengzhi after placing himself in his shoes, it did not stop him from feeling annoyed.
Behind Bone Douluo, Ning Rongrong covered her face in embarrassment, her emotions a complicated mix. She said nothing.
Though pampered as the little princess of the sect, Ning Rongrong had long accepted the possibility of marrying for the benefit of the sect due to her upbringing.
If she were to marry someone she neither liked nor knew, she would be reluctant. But if she could marry someone like Chen Ming, who was outstanding in strength, personality, and appearance, Ning Rongrong would be quite pleased.
