“If this is true, this old man will chew off the legs of this table on the spot!”
“Right, artificial twin spirits!”
Ning Tian picked up his teacup to moisten his throat, looked at the three Elders who were already dumbfounded, and continued to drop a blockbuster.
“In our Sect’s collection of books, there are quite a few records about twin spirits.”
“The reason why this Physique is Heaven-Defying is not only because of the extra Spirit abilities, but the most core point is the feedback from the spirit ring on physical fitness and spirit power.”
Ning Fengzhi was the Sect Master after all, and his reaction was the fastest.
He supported himself on the desk with his right hand, his brain spinning fast.
“That’s right, the reason why twin spirits far exceed those of the same Rank in combat power is because when a Spirit Master reaches a high Rank, they can attach a spirit ring of a higher age to the second Spirit.”
“spirit power Rank is essentially the result of the joint action of the spirit ring and the Spirit.”
Chen Xin nodded aside, his tone deep.
“twin spirits, double the spirit ring slots. If a person has already reached the limit and suddenly gets a few extra spirit rings, the spirit power will be directly pushed up forcibly.”
Speaking of this, Chen Xin suddenly looked at Ning Tian.
“Tian’er, are you sure this card can be used by someone who already has a Spirit?”
Ning Tian snapped his fingers.
“Of course, Grandpa Sword.”
“If you let an unawakened child use it, at best they will just be an ordinary Genius with a slightly higher starting point.”
“But what if we give it to a Spirit Douluo stuck in the Bottleneck period?”
Ning Tian’s tone carried a hint of inducement.
“Although the Elementary Spirit itself has no combat power and is not very strong, it is still a Spirit, and it also needs to have a spirit ring attached, right?”
“A Rank 89 Spirit Douluo, as long as they awaken this second Spirit, even if it is just an Elementary Spirit.”
“As long as they casually add a few 10,000-year spirit rings into it, that massive energy feedback can definitely forcefully break through the remaining one level of spirit power!”
“By then, wouldn’t our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School have one more Titled Douluo?”
Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi suddenly stood up.
He stared fixedly at the three yellow cards.
“Artificial twin spirits, forcibly breaking through to Titled Douluo…”
“Although it’s just the lowest-level Titled Douluo, this is a qualitative change!”
Ning Fengzhi paced anxiously in the hall, taking very hurried steps.
As the Sect Master, he knew too well the significance of a Titled Douluo to the Sect.
The current Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, although having the top combat powers of Sword and Bone, has actually always had some gaps in its core strength.
Especially those Titled Douluo who can hold down a region and stand on their own, there are simply too few of them.
“No, this card is too precious and cannot be given away casually.”
“Fengzhi, for this matter, we must choose someone absolutely reliable.”
“In case we give it to someone with crooked intentions and they run away, who can we cry to?”
Ning Fengzhi stopped his steps, exchanged a glance with Chen Xin, and a name surfaced in his mind.
“Lei Zhen.”
Ning Fengzhi uttered a name.
“Outer Sect Grand Elder, Lei Zhen.”
Chen Xin nodded slightly.
“This old fellow Lei Zhen has the Thunder Heavy Sword as his Spirit. Although it is not as good as my Seven Kill Sword, it can still be considered top-tier.”
“He has been stuck at Rank 89 for a full twelve years. He attends to every detail for the Sect, and his loyalty is unquestionable.”
Gu Rong also expressed agreement.
“Old Lei has a straightforward temper. Back when he was a Spirit Saint, to protect the Sect’s caravan, he single-handedly blocked five Spirit Saints of the same Rank and almost lost his life. He is indeed a suitable candidate.”
Ning Fengzhi made a prompt decision and shouted outside.
“Someone come, go invite Outer Sect Grand Elder Lei Zhen over, and say that the Sect has a top-secret critical matter to discuss!”
“Tell him to immediately put down all the work in his hands; even if he is in closed-door cultivation, you must wake him up for me!”
…
A moment later.
The heavy wooden door was pushed open once again.
An elderly man with a stalwart figure and full silver hair walked in with large strides.
The Elder walked with vigor like a dragon and tiger.
Although he was aged, his muscles bulged out his robe, and his brows carried an Aura of natural majesty.
This was Lei Zhen.
After entering the room, he was stunned for a moment.
“Sect Master, the two Elders, and also the Young Lord.”
Lei Zhen scratched his head somewhat perplexedly and cupped his fists in salute.
“Calling me over in such a burning rush, what has happened?”
Ning Fengzhi walked over with a smile and grabbed Lei Zhen’s hand.
“Elder Lei, set your mind at ease. Matters regarding Spirit Hall can be put aside for now.”
“I heard that you have been trying to break through the Rank 90 barrier recently?”
Bringing up this topic, Lei Zhen’s old face immediately collapsed, and he let out a heavy sigh.
“Sigh, Sect Master, please stop making fun of this old man.”
“I know my own Physique. First, my talent is average, and second, that severe injury back then damaged my Origin. This Rank 89 is probably the limit of this old man’s life.”
Lei Zhen waved his hand with a dejected expression.
Ning Fengzhi patted his shoulder.
“What if I say I can give you an opportunity for a Breakthrough?”
Lei Zhen raised his head abruptly, his eyes widening as big as an ox’s eyes.
“Sect Master, what did you say? Breakthrough? Titled Douluo?”
He then gave a bitter smile.
“Stop joking. With my situation, unless there is a legendary divine miracle descending to the world, there’s no hope.”
Ning Fengzhi didn’t speak, but just pointed at the cards on the table.
“This thing is called a Spirit Awakening Card, and it can allow you to have a second Spirit.”
Lei Zhen looked at the yellowish card, was dazed for a few seconds, and then let out a hearty loud laugh.
“Haha, Sect Master, have you been working too hard for the Sect’s affairs recently?”
“Awaken a second Spirit?”
“How is this possible! The entire continent knows that Spirits are innate; how can there be any logic of adding an Acquired one later?”
“If this is true, this old man will chew off the legs of this table on the spot!”
Ning Tian leisurely added a sentence from the side.
“Elder Lei, the table legs are hard, it won’t be easy to digest later.”
“This was given to me by an old immortal who entrusted it to me in a dream last night, you won’t lose anything by trying.”
Upon hearing the three words “old immortal”, Lei Zhen’s laughter abruptly stopped.
Afterwards, Ning Fengzhi also simply explained.
Ning Tian’s marriage, Sword Douluo’s 100,000-year Soul Ring, Ning Fengzhi’s Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
When these iron-clad facts were right before his eyes, Lei Zhen’s breathing began to grow hurried, and his palms began to sweat.
“Young Lord… You, you aren’t joking?”
Ning Tian pushed the card forward towards him.
“Drop your blood on it, and directly choose one there.”
Ning Fengzhi at the side also added a sentence with a solemn expression at this moment.
“Elder Lei, today’s matter, once you step out of this door, you must take it into your coffin.”
“Externally, just say that you had an epiphany at the threshold of life and death and forcefully broke through the shackles, understand?”
Lei Zhen nodded heavily, his expression turning incomparably solemn.
He didn’t waste any more words and directly bit his fingertip.
A drop of bright red blood accurately fell onto the center of the card.
The next moment, the card suddenly trembled, and the originally faint yellow light instantly flared up, enveloping Lei Zhen entirely.
Lei Zhen only felt a warm stream of Qi drilling along his fingertip into his Meridians, and his originally dried-up and exhausted spirit power pool actually stirred up ripples of layers at that moment.
Immediately following, three illusory images appeared in his mind.
