"Miss, your information is very important. I will report it to the Great Enshrinement.
Ning Rongrong and Tang San are advancing rapidly through their God Test cultivation. If Miss could obtain a Godhood Inheritance, with your talent, you would surely reach Level Ninety-Nine quickly!"
Golden Crocodile Douluo sighed.
If Dugu Feng were here, he would surely be ranting at these people: Are you all idiots?
Godhood is right before your eyes, yet you don't even let Qian Renxue touch it.
Golden Crocodile Douluo's regret was something Qian Renxue had already felt when she heard about the Sea God inheritance.
Now she had calmed down again. Even without a God Test, she could still enhance her strength swiftly.
Given some time, becoming a top-tier powerhouse would be a natural progression.
"What has Bibi Dong been doing recently?" Qian Renxue asked again.
Golden Crocodile Douluo's lips twitched. Qian Renxue's address was too direct, lacking any respect. He replied, "The Pope is still in secluded cultivation, recovering from her injuries.
She possesses a Godhood Inheritance and might be undergoing a God Test. After the last attack by the Evil Soul Master, Bibi Dong must be striving wholeheartedly to become a God!"
Qian Renxue pondered thoughtfully. She also knew about Bibi Dong's Godhood Inheritance.
Perhaps this was the reason why that Evil Soul Master targeted Bibi Dong!
If Bibi Dong becomes a God, who could stand against her?
Thinking this, Qian Renxue felt a strong sense of urgency.
"Second High Priest, Third High Priest, I have ordered all provinces to gather information on anomalous locations. Please help me investigate. Next, I too will seek a Godhood Inheritance!" Qian Renxue declared.
"Yes, Miss!"
Golden Crocodile Douluo and Azure Phoenix Douluo both complied.
The two Elders obeyed the command and withdrew from the study.
Qian Renxue glanced toward the direction of the Dugu Family.
"Dugu Feng, do you already know my identity?"
At this moment, Dugu Feng was taking Ning Rongrong shopping. As they wandered, a strange expression appeared on his face.
The Core Pearl had just been consumed by Qian Renxue, and such significant information was obtained.
If it had been later, when Qian Renxue became vigilant, making her consume the Core Pearl would have been much harder!
Dugu Feng felt a moment of trepidation.
He contemplated the information obtained from the Core Pearl.
Golden Crocodile Douluo had actually come to Heaven Dou City, with the purpose of warning Qian Renxue to be wary of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Dugu Family.
Moreover, he speculated that the Evil Soul Master originated from these two families.
This surprised Dugu Feng. Had Qiandao Liu finally started using his brain?
He actually suspected the Dugu Family.
And crucially, his suspicion was correct.
Qiandao Liu's analysis also made Dugu Feng realize that after acting so many times, even without leaving any evidence, through elimination, the target was nearly identified.
His earlier prediction was accurate; it couldn't be concealed much longer.
Treating others as fools would only make oneself the fool.
He couldn't rely on others failing to discover him.
Dugu Feng smiled slightly, "What if they discover me? With my current strength, unless someone becomes a God, no one can do anything to me!"
Dugu Feng at Level Ninety-Five was already close to the strongest on this continent.
Now, the only one Dugu Feng truly concerned himself with was Bibi Dong.
From Golden Crocodile Douluo, Dugu Feng learned that Bibi Dong was still in seclusion cultivating.
There was also the latest news regarding the Core Pearl within Hu Liena's body. Hu Liena had dispatched Chrysanthemum Douluo and a Soul Master Legion to deal with the Spirit Beast Riot, yet Bibi Dong had not made an appearance.
Dugu Feng couldn't help but admire Bibi Dong.
She truly knew how to remain patient.
When Dai Tian Jun died, Bibi Dong did not appear.
When Tang Hao reported to the Spirit Hall about a 100,000-Year Soul Beast transforming into human form, Bibi Dong still did not show herself.
Now, Dugu Feng had stirred up a Spirit Beast Riot, specifically targeting Bibi Dong's potential Spirit Rings, yet Bibi Dong remained absent.
"Bibi Dong has realized my intentions. She must be fully focused on her God Test.
But as long as she doesn't absorb the final two Spirit Rings, she cannot become a Double Ring Title Douluo, and thus cannot ascend to Godhood.
Bibi Dong, let's see how long you can hold out!"
Thinking this, Dugu Feng unconsciously revealed a smile, prompting Ning Rongrong beside him to ask, "Brother Feng, what wicked thoughts are you having?"
Dugu Feng patted her shoulder. "Can't they be good thoughts? I'm thinking about when you'll break through to become a Titled Douluo!"
Ning Rongrong giggled. "I'm looking forward to it too! My Eighth Soul Skill is already incredibly miraculous. How powerful must the Ninth Soul Skill be?
Alright, enough strolling. I'm going back to cultivate!"
Eager to break through to Titled Douluo, Ning Rongrong was growing impatient.
Under these circumstances, Dugu Feng naturally had to escort Ning Rongrong back.
The two soon returned to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and Dugu Feng was invited inside.
Ning Fengzhi wanted to see him. Since that was the case, Ning Rongrong, who had originally planned to cultivate, accompanied Dugu Feng to meet her father first and see what the matter was.
In the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's council hall, Ning Fengzhi awaited Dugu Feng with a beaming smile.
"Nephew, news has emerged from the Spirit Hall regarding a 100,000-Year Soul Beast. Are you aware?" Ning Fengzhi inquired.
Dugu Feng quickly shook his head; he couldn't appear to know the news earlier than Ning Fengzhi.
Ning Fengzhi explained, "I just received this information. Rumors say a 100,000-Year Soul Beast that has transformed into human form has appeared on the continent, and this Soul Beast has only recently reached the Mature Stage, so its strength is not yet formidable.
This news has already drawn the attention of the Spirit Hall, and they are investigating everywhere.
Perhaps the news will soon spread across the continent!"
Dugu Feng first expressed shock, then voiced suspicion. "Could it be like last time, luring us into a major battle with Bibi Dong? That Titan Giant Ape and Sky Blue Bull Python nearly ruined us. If Sword Grandfather hadn't broken through, we would have surely fought to mutual destruction!"
"Exactly! 100,000-Year Soul Beasts are very intelligent. How could they expose themselves so easily?" Ning Rongrong added.
Ning Fengzhi smiled approvingly. "It's good that you think this way, Nephew. I share your view—this is very likely a trap.
We must not let the temptation of a 100,000-Year Soul Beast cloud our judgment.
The situation is too chaotic now. We must prioritize caution and self-preservation."
This old fox Ning Fengzhi had been used once before and was now unwilling to involve himself in matters concerning this 100,000-Year Soul Beast. Who knew what conspiracy lay behind it?
His current plan was to wait for Ning Rongrong and Dugu Feng to grow into Titled Douluos.
Ning Rongrong's Eighth Soul Skill, Nine Treasure Divine Light Protection, could nullify any attack below the Ninth Soul Skill while also withstanding nine non-lethal strikes from a Ninth Soul Skill.
It was practically a divine skill.
Ning Fengzhi was extremely exhilarated. If the Eighth Soul Skill was already this powerful, how formidable must the Ninth Soul Skill of the Nine Treasure Glazed Pagoda be?
It could be said that Ning Rongrong's advancement to Titled Douluo, with the combat power enhancement brought by her amplification abilities, was comparable to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School producing another Super Douluo.
As for Dugu Feng, his practical combat prowess was the strongest Ning Fengzhi had ever witnessed in his life, despite currently being a Soul Douluo.
In Ning Fengzhi's eyes, even against an ordinary Titled Douluo, Dugu Feng could hold his own for a while.
All he, Ning Fengzhi, had to do was wait, and victory would be his.
So why take unnecessary risks?
