Looking at the two Titled Douluos in front of him, Ning Fengzhi still wanted to resist, but immediately thought of their terrifying strength, and the idea instantly died out, leaving him only to place his hopes on his wife.
He turned his head and looked at Madam Ning expectantly, saying with a slightly aggrieved tone, "Qing Er~"
"Feng Zhi, I also want to... but the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has no suitable candidate other than you, the Sect Leader. Only if something happens to your body, will the sect's large-scale collection of Whale Rubber not be suspected in a short period of time. Others are not suitable," Madam Ning said with a smile.
Hearing this explanation, Ning Fengzhi's face instantly fell. He naturally understood this principle. As long as word spread that something was wrong with his body, other members of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School could buy Whale Rubber under the pretext of currying favor with him. Only in this way could other forces be prevented from discovering the effect of the Whale Rubber in a short period of time.
Just then, Xu Yang had also finished absorbing the Whale Rubber. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Ning Fengzhi with a collapsed face.
"Teacher, what's wrong with you?!" Xu Yang asked in confusion.
"Nothing! How do you feel now?!"
Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi instantly returned to his usual gentle and refined demeanor, asking curiously.
"I feel that my body strength has increased a lot, and my Soul Power has also reached level ten from the original nine and a half. I can absorb my first Soul Ring!" Xu Yang clenched his fists and told Ning Fengzhi with a smile about the changes after absorbing the Whale Rubber.
"Sword Uncle!"
Hearing this, Sword Douluo nodded and slowly came to Xu Yang's front, using his Soul Power and Spiritual Power to sense his physical condition.
Xu Yang immediately felt a warm current pouring into his body, circulating around him simply before retreating.
"Feng Zhi, Xu Yang's physical fitness and meridian strength have reached the level of a Great Soul Master. Absorbing a seven-hundred-year Soul Ring is not a problem," Chen Xin said after withdrawing his hand, roughly estimating Xu Yang's current physical strength.
"Good!" Ning Fengzhi's face showed joy, and he looked at Xu Yang, taking out a ring from his Storage Ring and handing it over: "Yang'er, your discovery can take the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to the next level. This Storage Ring is a reward for you. Later, I will arrange for sect disciples to help you hunt for a Soul Ring in the Sunset Forest. Prepare yourself well!"
"Disciple, thank you, Teacher!"
Xu Yang excitedly took the Storage Ring from Ning Fengzhi's hand. This was not the era after Peerless Tang Sect when Soul Tools had become popular. Storage Soul Tools were basically one less for each one used. There weren't that many, and most Soul Masters might not even be able to obtain a Storage Soul Tool until they became Soul Saints.
After that, Xu Yang was led by a maid to his residence, which was located on the Back Mountain of the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, right next to Ning Fengzhi's. The entire room was 200 square meters, and it was filled with various luxurious furniture. It could be said to be inhumanely extravagant.
After dismissing the maid, Xu Yang went to the bathroom to wash up. After absorbing the Whale Rubber, he had excreted a lot of impurities.
After washing up, Xu Yang came to the balcony, sat on a futon, activated his Sun Spirit, clasped his hands, and began to meditate and cultivate. Unlike ordinary people who simply cultivated Soul Power through meditation, he had an extra process in his cultivation, which was to let the Soul Power circulate within the Spirit before absorbing it into his Dantian.
As time passed, the originally neutral and peaceful Soul Power attribute began to change, gaining a trace of the Sun Spirit's characteristics, being extremely yang and strong, with a sense of heat and a burning sensation.
The newborn Soul Power felt more refined to Xu Yang, and it was relatively easier to control.
Even the connection with the Spirit had increased slightly.
As for the heat and burning sensation, he felt that it was just the Soul Power attribute transforming towards the power of the Sun, and his body had not yet adapted. Once he adapted, this feeling would disappear.
"Sure enough, it's just like I guessed. The attribute of Soul Power will be transformed because of the Spirit, and it will also change with the attribute of the Soul Ring absorbed. Just like Dugu Bo, after constantly absorbing Soul Rings and using Soul Skills, the Soul Power in his body will be completely transformed into poison attribute."
It was certain that the Soul Power attribute was affected by the Spirit. Xu Yang understood this not long after he transmigrated. The attributes of the Soul Power in a Soul Master's body could not be too many. If the attributes were too mixed, they would not be pure enough, and the control of Soul Power would become more difficult.
If two Soul Powers with conflicting attributes were encountered, they would even fight in the body, eventually leading to death.
Therefore, cultivators from truly top-notch sects would choose one or two attribute Soul Beasts to attach to, so that they could ensure the purity of their Soul Power and their own safety. This was the best choice.
He also agreed with this view. The common sense summed up over tens of thousands of years on the Douluo Continent could not be overturned by his unfounded theories. Most of his theories did not have actual data to support them, but were just based on imagination.
Therefore, without a certain degree of certainty, he felt that he should still cultivate according to the Douluo system.
Otherwise, wouldn't he become the next Yu Xiaogang?!
When the feeling of heat in his body made him uncomfortable, Xu Yang stopped his meditation and cultivation, preparing to go to the cafeteria for food.
After inquiring with a maid, he quickly arrived at the cafeteria.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's cafeteria was very large, about half the size of a football field. There were also many Soul Masters dining inside. Xu Yang arrived at the ordering area, looking at the various dishes on display, and saliva almost uncontrollably dripped from his mouth.
Here, you order dishes. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School hired many of the continent's top chefs, all dedicated to serving the disciples of the sect.
As Ning Fengzhi's disciple, he could order whatever he wanted, and most of the dishes were made with Soul Beast meat, which could also slightly increase his cultivation speed.
He ordered a few dishes that interested him and found that they had a unique flavor compared to the food from his previous life, with the taste being no less impressive.
After a simple but filling meal, Xu Yang inquired and went to the Library Pavilion, preparing to read.
On the other side, the entire Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School also began to purchase Whale Rubber in large quantities. There were even rumors circulating in the Soul Master world that Ning Fengzhi was in poor health and urgently needed Whale Rubber to replenish his vitality.
In less than a week, this news reached Emperor Xue Ye's ears.
Emperor Xue Ye felt deep sympathy for Ning Fengzhi's situation and even sent two pieces of high-quality Ten Thousand Year Whale Rubber.
In his opinion, Ning Fengzhi's poor health was the reason why he was already over forty years old and still didn't have any children of his own.
He never considered that Ning Fengzhi was focused on improving his strength during his prime and hadn't considered this aspect.
Madam Ning's pregnancy news hadn't spread yet, which could be used as a gimmick later.
And Xu Yang finally ended his regular life. Ning Fengzhi had already arranged for someone to hunt a Soul Beast for his Soul Ring.
