A rusted iron club, a plain-looking wooden sword, and an iron leaf grass.
These three things, normally, Lei Zhen wouldn’t even spare them a second glance.
After all, these were merely Elementary Spirits, and the awakened Innate spirit power was in the 1-3 range.
Although they could Cultivate, it would be a stroke of immense luck to become a Spirit Ancestor or Spirit King in one’s lifetime!
But now, in his hands, it was different!
These things represented a twin spirits, the stepping stone to entering the Titled Douluo Realm.
“I choose the sword! This old man has Cultivated the sword his entire life, and a wooden sword is also a sword!”
Lei Zhen screamed frantically in his heart, his consciousness fiercely touching that wooden sword.
Hum!
Inside the council hall, the yellow light originally enveloping Lei Zhen instantly converged, and immediately, a hint of light grey light and shadow flashed past behind him and vanished.
Lei Zhen suddenly opened his eyes, his right hand instinctively grabbing into the Void Realm.
A wooden sword about three chi long, carved entirely from locust wood, impressively appeared in his palm.
The moment the wooden sword formed, Lei Zhen’s aura changed somewhat.
Yes, it was the spirit power that had changed!
Although it was still rank eighty-nine, it had finally moved a trace!
Lei Zhen blankly felt the unceasingly surging spirit power within his body, tears streaming down his old face.
“It moved… It moved! This old man’s spirit power has actually really moved!”
“As long as we attach a spirit ring to this sword, relying on the enhancement of the spirit ring…”
“My becoming a Titled Douluo is truly in sight!”
Lei Zhen immediately disregarded any sense of image, turning around to kneel towards Ning Tian, only to be quickly supported by Ning Tian’s quick hands and eyes.
“Elder Lei, what are you doing? You’ll shorten my lifespan.”
Lei Zhen’s voice was hoarse, carrying an irrepressible ecstasy.
“Young Lord! The grace of reinvention, Lei Zhen will never forget it, never forget it!”
Ning Fengzhi looked at this scene, unable to hide his excitement either.
A Spirit Douluo who had originally reached the end of his path had now been forcefully raised in his upper limit.
Chen Xin looked at the wooden sword in Lei Zhen’s hand; although he equally looked down upon the quality of this Spirit, the significance it represented was too heavy.
“Fengzhi, there is no time to lose.”
Chen Xin stood up, and the Seven Kill Sword behind him emitted a crisp chime,
“What Lei Zhen lacks right now is a spirit ring, and your eighth spirit ring has not yet been absorbed either.”
“I will take you and him to the Sunset Forest or the Star Dou Great Forest right now.”
“With his physical strength, the first spirit ring of this second Spirit must start at ten thousand years; get a couple more, and he’ll become a Titled Douluo!”
“Hey, hey, hey, Grandfathers, Father, don’t rush to leave yet.”
Seeing several people eagerly about to leave, Ning Tian hurriedly spoke.
“The matter hasn’t finished yet.”
Ning Fengzhi stopped his steps, looking at Ning Tian doubtfully,
“Tian’er, is there anything else to instruct?”
Ning Tian pointed at the two remaining yellow cards on the table.
“There are still two of these cards left, are you planning to leave them behind?”
“And…”
Ning Tian drew out his tone, his expression becoming somewhat strange, even carrying a hint of “helplessness”.
As soon as these words came out, everyone’s ears instantly perked up.
An immortal’s message was the supreme instruction.
Ning Tian coughed, realistically imitating a solemn tone,
“Grandpa Immortal said, Tian’er, you performed well this time, but the revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still need to work hard.”
“He said, let me make persistent efforts, and continue to’spread branches and scatter leaves’ for the prosperity of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.”
“He said, as long as I can marry a few more talented Prodigies like Bing’er, the rewards in the future will only be more generous.”
The whole venue fell into a dead silence.
Gu Rong was the first to react, slapping his large hand down,
“Good! What a great persistent effort!”
He turned his head to look at Ning Fengzhi, so excited that the wrinkles on his face blossomed like flowers,
“Fengzhi, Tian’er is right, how could we forget this?”
“spirit rings are not urgent right now, letting Tian’er marry more wives is the real business, this is the top priority for the development of the Sect!”
Ning Fengzhi fell into deep thought.
Indeed, this truly was the top priority.
However, the matter of the “immortal” had been strictly kept secret by him after all.
Even Outer Sect Grand Elder Lei Zhen only knew about it now.
If Ning Tian’s side just finished a grand wedding and then made a big fuss to marry a second one again, I’m afraid it would cause some criticism inside the Sect.
In that case…
“Good.”
A flash of determination crossed Fengzhi’s eyes, and he looked towards Chen Xin and Gu Rong.
“The few of us know Tian’er’s contributions, but those venerable Elders in the Sect, as well as the Elders of the inner and outer Sects, do not know.”
“Marrying one wife, they are naturally happy for Tian’er.”
“Marrying two or three wives, and each time making a big deal out of it, I’m afraid they would consider Tian’er wayward, and might even feel that I, his father, am indulging him.”
“As time goes on, popular sentiment will become unstable.”
Ning Fengzhi paced back and forth in the hall, his voice becoming low and powerful.
“Simply put, today I will call all the Elders of sufficient rank in the Sect, use the remaining two cards in front of them, and pass down the immortal’s decree.”
“Let them know that Tian’er’s marriage is to obtain divine blessings for our Sect, and it is a supreme Karma!”
Half an hour later.
The highest secret conference room inside the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Five white-haired venerable Elders, five Inner Sect Elders, and the remaining six Outer Sect Elders sat in their seats in complete confusion.
“Sect Master, calling us all here, has something urgent happened?”
“That’s right, could it be that the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is still unwilling after returning, and is going to fight back?”
“Could Spirit Hall be making a move?”
A group of old fellows discussed animatedly, the atmosphere appearing somewhat tense.
Ning Fengzhi sat in the main seat, with Chen Xin and Gu Rong flanking him on the left and right.
Ning Tian, with an indifferent look, sat in the lower seat of Ning Fengzhi, still playing with the two yellowed cards in his hands.
“Everyone, convening you today is for the rise and fall of our Sect for the next hundred, or even thousand, years.”
As soon as Ning Fengzhi spoke, the venue instantly quieted down.
Without any nonsense, he directly pointed to Lei Zhen beside him.
“Elder Lei, show yourself to these old brothers.”
Lei Zhen had already changed into a clean dark green robe, chuckled upon hearing this, and strode to the center of the hall.
With a stretch of his right hand, the Thunder Heavy Sword crashed to the ground with crackling electric light.
A wooden sword slowly hovered in mid-air.
“Twin… twin spirits?!”
The Inner Sect Grand Elder stood up with a “thud”, his eyeballs almost dropping to the ground.
“Old Lei, did you take the wrong medicine? Weren’t you a Thunder Heavy Sword Spirit? Where did this wooden sword come from?”
“This is impossible! You’re already decades old, and you can still awaken a second Spirit?”
A group of Elders directly exploded into an uproar.
Ning Fengzhi raised his hand to signal everyone to calm down, and then told a mix of truth and falsehood about the “old immortal entrusting a dream” and Ning Tian “sacrificing himself to marry for the Sect”.
Of course, in his description, Ning Tian went to marry a wife with a heavy sense of mission, being forced to “take a concubine” for the prosperity of the Sect.
After explaining, Ning Fengzhi looked at the other two Elders in the outer Sect who were stuck at the eighty-something rank.
“You have all seen Elder Lei’s situation.”
“Tian’er still has two Awakening cards in his hands, which were bestowed by the immortal.”
Ning Fengzhi looked towards two of them,
“Elder Zhou, Elder Zhao, the two of you have worked hard for the Sect for many years, do you want this opportunity?”
Those two named Elders trembled all over with excitement, unable to even speak fluently.
“Want! Want! Thank you Young Lord, thank you Sect Master!”
The two rushed in front of Ning Tian, following the exact same process as Lei Zhen just now: dripping blood, Awakening.
A moment later, the conference room gained a “Swift Wind Sparrow” Spirit and an “Iron Pot” Spirit.
Although the Spirits were still Elementary, the trace of spirit power fluctuation that subsequently surged from the two of them could not be fake.
At this, the entire conference room went completely crazy.
Those venerable Elders who previously held a wait-and-see attitude had completely changed their gazes toward Ning Tian.
How could this be a trash Spirit Young Lord?
This was simply a lucky star sent down by the heavens!
He was the living ancestor of their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!
“Sect Master, Young Lord just said, the immortal asked him to continue marrying?”
The Inner Sect Third Elder had the loudest voice, shouting at this moment with a flushed face.
“Marry! Must marry!”
“Tian’er, if your physical body can’t take it, Grandpa has century-old mountain ginseng stored there, I’ll send it all to you later!”
“Right, right, right, isn’t it just marrying a wife? Which Sect’s female Prodigy in the entire continent is worthy of our Young Lord? Let’s go directly to propose marriage!”
“Whoever dares not to marry, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will smash money to buy her back!”
“What are you saying? If she doesn’t marry, then we’ll reason with them. However, it’ll be all of us old bones going out together to reason with them.”
At this moment, where did these old fellows have any appearance of steadiness left; each one was more proactive than the last.
Looking at this group of old men who were hyped up as if pumped with chicken blood, Ning Tian couldn’t help rolling his eyes.
All things considered, why did he feel like he had now become the Sect’s “stud”?
However…
Thinking of the rewards in the System and those peerless Prodigies, Ning Tian chuckled inwardly.
This kind of thing, I, Ning Tian, am definitely sowing it!
“Father, various Elders, rest assured.”
Ning Tian stood up, patting his chest righteously.
“As long as it can make our Sect prosperous, let alone marrying a few more, even if I marry ten or a hundred more, I will never decline!”
“Good!”
Thunderous applause erupted inside the hall.
