"Come, Kurumi, give Clan Leader Tang Xiao a buff." Ning Rongrong said offhandedly.
"Tang Xiao?" Tokisaki Kurumi seemed a bit slow to react, slowly turning to look at the most conspicuous one-armed man.
"Eh, eh, eh!"
Suddenly, Tokisaki Kurumi's eyes widened, "Isn't this the one-armed hero described in the novels I read before?"
"Ancient, arrogant, with a hint of seeing through the vanity of the world, the aura is completely identical!"
Thump—
A hand-chop landed on Kurumi's head. Ning Rongrong's face was covered in black lines.
"Read fewer novels. Don't bring everything into reality."
"Fine, I won't read then." Tokisaki Kurumi pouted helplessly, her cheeks puffed up in dissatisfaction. "Master, how about you bring back a few cats for me to pet? I'd like that."
Ning Rongrong's eye twitched.
This little kitten has really become a shut-in.
Staying inside the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda all day, either reading novels or sleeping.
Or else thinking about petting cats.
"Be more attentive. Clan Leader Tang Xiao is suffering greatly from the pain of his severed arm. Don't rub salt in his wound."
"Our Seven... Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda Clan has always been helpful and values harmony."
"Don't ruin our reputation."
Tokisaki Kurumi: "..."
Good grief, weren't you the one who asked me to act along with you?
Humans are indeed cunning.
Ning Rongrong shifted her gaze from Tokisaki Kurumi back to Tang Xiao.
"Apologies, Clan Leader Tang Xiao, my Pagoda Spirit..."
"I am not a Pagoda Spirit!"
Tokisaki Kurumi instantly bristled.
"Ahem, the artifact spirit of my Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda is a bit mischievous, but she's relatively reliable in important matters."
Tang Xiao: "..."
Reliable? I can't see any reliability in her with either eye!
If he hadn't seen this young girl beat Qian Daoliu into submission years ago, he would have thought she was one of his own mischievous juniors.
Moreover, speaking of which, the Soul Rings Tokisaki Kurumi displayed back then...
Thinking of this, Tang Xiao couldn't help but laugh inwardly; he was really overthinking it.
Ning Rongrong could already hide and display the colors and different numbers of Soul Rings at will, so it seemed normal for an artifact spirit to have this ability.
"Young Clan Leader Ning's Martial Soul being lively is a good thing!"
"The first Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda in ten thousand years, it's only fitting it has some unique characteristics."
Tang Xiao was also someone who had seen great storms. Whether the other side was acting or if it was genuinely like this didn't matter. What mattered was getting his arm restored first.
"Come, let's get ready to start. Don't be so sloppy." The pupils of Ning Rongrong's eyes changed, turning into the pattern of a clock.
"Tch, did you get paid? I don't work for free." Tokisaki Kurumi turned her head to look at Ning Rongrong, her expression clearly saying, 'If I don't get "cat food," you'll see.'
Ning Rongrong pulled Tokisaki Kurumi to the side, whispering:
"The three upper sects share the same breath; charging fees hurts feelings."
"With the Clear Sky School blocking the Spirit Hall upfront, we can better enjoy our lives and eat whatever we want deliciously! Don't mess up my big plan."
Ning Rongrong spoke very softly.
But, the people present were no ordinary individuals.
Especially Tang Xiao and Tang Chen, the corners of their mouths twitched slightly.
The reasoning was correct, but is it really okay for you to say it out loud like that?
And your whispering is useless, we are all Title Douluos!
We can hear a mosquito buzzing from far away very clearly.
"Fine, since you agree, then I have nothing more to say."
Tokisaki Kurumi and Ning Rongrong walked back unhurriedly.
"Zafkiel"
"Rophocale"
Ning Rongrong and Tokisaki Kurumi spoke almost simultaneously.
Ripples resembling a pendulum appeared, and a huge clock hovered in the air behind the two of them.
Tokisaki Kurumi's eyes were wine-red, but the other one had turned golden, with pupils identical to the pendulum behind her.
As for Ning Rongrong, one of her eyes had a pupil exactly like Kurumi's golden one, while the other eye's pupil was silvery-white, mixed with a hint of azure halo, completely consistent with the manifested clock.
"This is..."
Tang Chen and Tang Xiao were quite astonished by Ning Rongrong and Tokisaki Kurumi's current state.
However, before they could speak.
The Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda floating around the two of them glowed with its seventh Soul Ring.
Pistols appeared simultaneously in their hands, the styles seeming slightly different.
The gun in Kurumi's hand was a short-barreled pistol, while the one in Ning Rongrong's hand was a long-barreled pistol of Western style, the entire body of the gun silvery-white.
"My treatment method is a bit special, Clan Leader Tang Xiao. No matter what happens next."
"Please do not resist with your soul power, otherwise you might die!"
Tang Xiao and Tang Chen were taken aback upon hearing this.
Tang Xiao nodded: "I understand, proceed!"
Spirit Masters who can reach the Title Douluo level are mostly people of strong will.
Even if they are effeminate, they are effeminate with strong will.
For example, Title Douluo Yue Guan.
Moreover, Tang Xiao was a burly Title Douluo who wielded the Clear Sky Hammer.
Ning Rongrong and Tokisaki Kurumi simultaneously raised their gun muzzles.
The two dark, hollow barrels aimed at Tang Xiao.
A terrifying sense of oppression enveloped Tang Xiao's entire body.
Even Tang Xiao at level 97 felt a palpitation in his heart.
What terrifying pressure!
This feeling even reminded him of his grandfather's state when using the Asura God's Sword.
Sure enough, The Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda Clan also had connections with gods.
"Biu"
"Biu"
Two bullets left the gun barrels simultaneously.
The bullet released from Kurumi's pistol carried a black-red halo, while the bullet from Ning Rongrong's side trailed blue-white flames.
"Ah—"
The two bullets penetrating his heart elicited a scream from Tang Xiao.
"Xiao'er!" Tang Chen was startled, his soul power suddenly bursting forth.
"Please calm down, Lord Tang Chen."
The sudden voice, along with the overwhelming soul power fluctuations, brought Tang Chen back to his senses.
Ning Fengzhi's Eight Treasures Glazed Pagoda with two yellow, two purple, and four black Soul Rings was emitting light.
The soul power fluctuations of Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, both level 98 Title Douluos, under Ning Fengzhi's enhancement, reached level 99. Although slightly inferior to himself, it was still very terrifying.
Moreover, the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda Clan also had super-standard powers like Soul Ring Fusion and Martial Soul Fusion Skills.
Tang Chen took a deep breath and sat back down on the chair.
"Apologies, I got a bit excited."
Seeing Tang Chen withdraw his rampant soul power, Ning Fengzhi and the other two also sat back in their main seats.
Dark black and blue light radiated from Tang Xiao's body, and the man appeared to be in extreme pain.
Ten seconds, twenty seconds...
Until half a minute passed.
An arm seemed to appear out of nowhere.
Unlike the wound-healing form of ordinary auxiliary Spirit Masters, it seemed to manifest abruptly.
As a Limit Douluo, Tang Chen had seen much, but he had truly never seen this scene before.
Tang Xiao's aura flowed out.
He stood up, clenched his newly grown right hand, his voice full of shock:
"Incredible. It looks no different from my original arm."
"Alright, consider the task completed."
Tokisaki Kurumi's voice interrupted the astonished crowd, but she didn't care, directly transforming into a black light and merging into the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda.
The floating Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda landed back in Ning Rongrong's hand.
Tang Chen inquired about Tang Xiao's physical condition and, upon receiving a satisfactory answer, expressed his gratitude to Ning Rongrong and the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda Clan.
Then, Tang Chen exchanged his insights as a Limit Douluo on cultivation with Ning Fengzhi for a Marrow Cleansing Pill for Tang Yuehua.
Subsequently, the two left the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda Clan.
"Rongrong, is it really okay to do it like this?"
After returning to the main hall, Bone Douluo expressed some concern.
"A fence-sitter needs strength, and moreover, we have this strength."
"Perhaps soon, the real target person will come."
"Bi Ji and Xue Ke?" Sword Douluo frowned.
"Correct." Ning Rongrong smiled, "Perhaps we can get the method to advance to Limit Douluo from her."
Her own cultivation method was ultimately not suitable for Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo.
But Di Tian's Yin-Yang Twin Soul Cores might work.
In Dou 1, a level 95 Title Douluo is only comparable to a hundred-thousand-year soul beast.
Whereas in the Jue Shi Tang Men era, hundred-thousand-year soul beasts are roughly at the level of ordinary Title Douluos.
Is it because the soul beasts became weaker, or did the cultivation methods progress?
Moreover, Ning Rongrong was also quite interested in Di Tian's Yin-Yang Twin Soul Cores.
