"Nine Treasures Glazed Tower?!"
Xuezhe and Liu Tianfeng exclaimed at the same time, their eyes full of disbelief.
Although they had never seen the Nine Treasures Glazed Tower with their own eyes, they had heard of related legends - that was the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect's thousand-year-old unfulfilled wish, and they didn't expect that it was actually realized by Tianxing!
Xuezhe suddenly realized, and the doubts in his heart instantly disappeared, replaced by deep joy:
"I see! No wonder Ning Fengzhi is so straightforward. This Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda is more important to the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect than any other benefit!"
Liu Tianfeng also smiled and nodded:
"Your Majesty, we can now rest assured. Since the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is willing to risk everything for Rongrong's spirit evolution, they will never play tricks in this cooperation.
With their resources and support, combined with our existing strength, the future of the Barak Kingdom is limitless!"
Xuezhe's gaze fell on Xue Tianxing, his eyes filled with pride and expectation:
"Tian Xing, you did a great job! Elder Liu is now a Titled Douluo. My spirit power has reached level 86 since my spirit evolved into Bingluan four years ago. After another four years of training, my spirit power has also increased from level 86 to level 89. Within three years, I will definitely be able to break through to the Titled Douluo level!"
Plus, you're a twelve-year-old Soul King, with talented companions like Shui Bing'er and Oscar by your side, and the support of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect…"
He paused, his tone filled with longing:
"I seem to have foreseen that when you, Tianxing, truly grow up, our Barak Kingdom will surely replace the Tiandou Empire and become the new overlord of Douluo Continent!"
Xue Tianxing also clenched his fists, with a determined light flashing in his eyes:
"Don't worry, father. I will practice diligently and lead the Barak Kingdom to glory!"
The atmosphere in the meeting hall became increasingly heated, and the three began to enthusiastically discuss the specific details of cooperation with the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.
The alliance between the Barak Kingdom and the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect was thus officially finalized.
Time flies, and three days pass in a flash.
That morning, at the training grounds of Royal Barak Palace, Xue Tianxing, Shui Binger, Shui Yueer, Oscar and Dugu Yan were preparing to begin their daily training.
Xue Tianxing had just finished stretching when he saw a familiar figure running towards the martial arts field in the distance. It was Ning Rongrong, whom he had not seen for a long time.
"Rongrong!"
Shui Yue'er was the first to react. She waved excitedly at Ning Rongrong, walked quickly towards her, and said:
"You're finally back! I've missed you so much these past few days! By the way, how's your soul power now that you've absorbed your third soul ring?"
Ning Rongrong ran to Shui Yue'er, a bright smile on her face, her tone filled with pride:
"After absorbing the third soul ring, my soul power increased directly from level 30 to level 34! And dad has agreed to let me stay at Barak Academy. From now on, I can practice with everyone and never have to be separated again!"
"Very good!"
Shui Yue'er hugged Ning Rongrong excitedly, "This way we can play and practice together every day!"
Xue Tianxing, Shui Binger and others also gathered around and congratulated Ning Rongrong.
Dugu Yan smiled and said:
"Congratulations, Rongrong, you've reached level 34 Soul Master. You've made even faster progress than I did back then! With the support of your Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda, our team's strength will be greatly improved."
Ning Rongrong smiled embarrassedly, and then added:
"By the way, I brought the first wave of support from the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect with me this time. Dad has already arranged for some of the sect's businesses to be relocated to Barak City and Soto City, primarily the ore trade and medicinal herb shops. This way, we won't have to search far and wide for the resources we need for our cultivation.
Several spirit masters from other sects have also arrived. They will assist Barak Academy in improving its teaching system and helping everyone improve their cultivation efficiency."
When everyone heard this, they all showed surprise on their faces.
Xue Tianxing nodded, secretly praising the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's execution ability:
"Master Ning is indeed a man of his words. With this support, our Barak Kingdom will surely develop faster."
Just as Ning Rongrong said, in the next few days, obvious changes occurred in Barak City and Soto City.
Shops of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect opened one after another, with eye-catching "Seven Treasures" logos hanging at the doors. The minerals and medicinal materials in the shops were not only complete in variety, but also of higher quality than other shops, and soon attracted a large number of soul masters to come and purchase.
Several soul masters from the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect entered the Barak Academy and developed personalized training plans based on the characteristics of the students' martial souls. The learning atmosphere of the academy instantly became more intense.
However, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's support for the Barak Kingdom could not be concealed from the eyes of other forces.
The news quickly reached the Tiandou City palace. Upon learning of this, Emperor Xue Ye angrily slammed the throne on the spot, his face livid as he shouted to the ministers around him:
"What does Ning Fengzhi want to do? How dare he openly support the Barak Kingdom? Has he forgotten that the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect is an ally of the Heaven Dou Empire?"
The minister beside him replied tremblingly:
"Your Majesty, according to our investigation, not only is the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect supporting the Barak Kingdom, but Sect Master Ning's daughter, Ning Rongrong, has also joined the Barak Academy and is training with Prince Xue Tianxing of Barak."
"What?!"
Emperor Xue Ye's rage intensified. He clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white, and continued to roar:
"I suggested many times that Ning Rongrong go to study at the Tiandou Royal Soul Master Academy, but Ning Fengzhi always evaded me by saying, 'Rongrong can go wherever she wants!'
Now, he actually let Ning Rongrong go to the Barak Kingdom!
That is the force that our Tiandou Empire needs to be most vigilant about right now!
Not only is the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect not helping us, but they're actually turning their backs on us. Is this a betrayal of the Heaven Dou Empire?"
Emperor Xue Ye became more and more angry as he spoke. He had always regarded the Barak Kingdom as a serious threat - Xue Tianxing was extremely talented, Liu Tianfeng had broken through to become a Titled Douluo, the Barak Kingdom was on the border of the Tiandou Empire, and the Soto City of the Barak Kingdom was the granary of the Tiandou Empire. Therefore, the rise of the Barak Kingdom was already very obvious.
Now that the powerful ally, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, has suddenly turned to the Barak Kingdom, it has undoubtedly cast a shadow on the future of the Tiandou Empire.
"Your Majesty, calm down."
The minister quickly advised, "Perhaps Sect Master Ning was just confused for a moment. Why don't we send someone to the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect to inquire about the situation and see if we can salvage the situation."
Emperor Xue Ye took a deep breath, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said in a cold voice:
"Recover? Ning Fengzhi did something like this, what's the point of recovering? Pass my order to immediately cut off some of the trade routes between the Tiandou Empire and the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. At the same time, keep a close eye on the movements of the Barak Kingdom and the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect. Report any unusual activity immediately!"
"yes!"
The minister received the order and left, leaving only Emperor Xue Ye in the palace.
He looked at the sky outside the window, his eyes full of worry and anger - the defection of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect made the situation of the Tiandou Empire increasingly difficult, and the rise of the Barak Kingdom would become the biggest threat to the Tiandou Empire in the future.
For a moment he didn't know what to do.
