Looking at the nine-story pagoda floating in Ning Tian's palm.
School Master Ning's lips couldn't stop trembling. He took several deep breaths before he managed to calm the overwhelming shock in his heart and asked in a dry voice.
"Tian'er... when exactly did your Spirit evolve into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda?!"
Ning Tian smiled slightly, put away her Spirit, and answered with a calm expression.
"Exactly one month ago."
"A month ago, when the academy was distributing cultivation resources, my teacher Ye Zhi gave me an Immortal Herb called the Qiluo Tulip privately."
The Qiluo Tulip!
Upon hearing these words, School Master Ning couldn't help but let out a long sigh, his eyes filled with emotion and excitement.
"To think it was the Qiluo Tulip... no wonder, no wonder!"
School Master Ning exclaimed.
"Tian'er, you are truly too lucky! For ten thousand years, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has exhausted the entire Sect's power searching all over the continent. Even after scouring all the famous mountains and great rivers, we never found even a trace of the Qiluo Tulip."
"Because of this, since the ancestor Ning Rongrong, no one in the Sect has ever possessed the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda again. I never expected that by going to that Shrek Academy in the sky, you would actually obtain such a Heaven-Defying Opportunity!"
School Master Ning's eyes reddened slightly, appearing very excited.
"This is truly the heavens blessing my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School; it is a great fortune for our Sect!"
Seeing her father's excited state, the smile on Ning Tian's lips deepened.
"Father, your daughter's gains at the academy are far more than just this."
As soon as she finished speaking.
Ning Tian took a step forward, and the Spirit Power within her body was released without reservation!
A powerful surge of Spirit Power instantly swept through the entire meeting hall.
Rank forty-four!
Feeling the clear fluctuation of Spirit Power Rank from Ning Tian, School Master Ning and Wu Long were once again stunned into standing still.
"Rank forty-four?! How is that possible!"
School Master Ning cried out in shock.
One must know that when Ning Tian left the Sect to enroll in that Counterfeit Shrek Academy, her Spirit Power had barely reached Rank twenty-nine!
Now, only a short eight months have passed!
In eight months, she has leaped fifteen Ranks of Spirit Power! She has broken through to the Realm of Spirit Ancestor!
This cultivation speed is simply unbelievable!
After the brief shock, School Master Ning's face suddenly changed, and a look of deep concern flashed in his eyes.
He quickly took a step forward and asked urgently.
"Tian'er, tell your father the truth! This Spirit Power has increased too quickly. Did you force your growth at the academy just to chase a higher Realm?!"
School Master Ning was very aware that increasing so many Ranks in a short time would inevitably lead to unstable Spirit Power.
If the Foundation was ruined, even possessing the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda would be for naught.
Seeing her father's worried expression, Ning Tian did not offer an explanation but instead proved everything through action.
Ning Tian circulated her Spirit Power once more, displaying its intensity to the senses of School Master Ning and Wu Long.
That Spirit Power not only lacked any sense of instability but was instead as condensed as if it were solid!
It was incredibly profound!
The purity and quality of that Spirit Power were even a bit more powerful than that of an ordinary Five-Ring Soul King in the outside World!
Feeling Ning Tian's outrageously solid Spirit Power Foundation.
School Master Ning and Wu Long looked at each other, both seeing a shock in the other's eyes as if they had seen a ghost.
This completely overhauled their worldview!
The two of them had lived for most of their lives and seen countless geniuses, but they had never witnessed such a miraculous thing!
In just eight months, her Spirit Power increased by fifteen Ranks, and far from being unstable, it was tempered to be incredibly robust! In the conventional Spirit Master's world, this was simply unheard of!
However, the shock Ning Tian brought them was far from over.
Following that.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
Four Spirit Rings slowly rose from beneath Ning Tian's feet, circling around her body.
Two purple, two black!
Looking at those two thousand-year Spirit Rings that were purple to the point of being black, and those two ten-thousand-year black Spirit Rings emitting a terrifying pressure.
School Master Ning and Wu Long gaped, already completely numbed by the shock.
Just as the two of them had yet to recover from this common-sense-defying Spirit Ring configuration.
The Spirit Rings beneath Ning Tian's feet suddenly flashed with light.
A ball of soft and holy golden light drifted out from the Spirit Rings and landed beside Ning Tian.
As the light dissipated, the phantom of an elegant Holy Light Spirit Deer, radiating pure light-attribute energy, quietly appeared in the hall.
Looking at this strange creature that had suddenly appeared, both School Master Ning and Wu Long felt it was quite peculiar. Could this be a Spirit Beast? But... if it was a Spirit Beast, how did Ning Tian summon it? One must know that things like Storage Soul Tools cannot hold Spirit Beasts.
"Tian'er, what... what is this strange thing?"
School Master Ning curiously observed the Holy Light Spirit Deer.
Ning Tian smiled and stroked the Spirit deer's head, introducing it.
"Father, it's called a Spirit Soul. With the assistance of this Spirit Soul, it can not only help me fight in actual combat, making up for my shortcomings as a support system Spirit Master lacking offensive means, but also, if not released, it can enhance the power of my Spirit Abilities!"
Hearing Ning Tian's introduction.
School Master Ning and Wu Long were once again deeply shocked; the high-ranking members of the dignified Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School now had nothing but "awesome" in their minds.
Amidst the shock, the Red Dragon Douluo Wu Long swallowed hard and slowly shifted his gaze to his granddaughter, Wu Feng.
Meeting her grandfather's expectant gaze, Wu Feng laughed heartily and released her Red Dragon Martial Soul and four Spirit Rings at once.
Two purple, two black!
"Grandpa, don't look at me like that."
Wu Feng said with a smile.
"Although my talent isn't as incredible as the Young Lord's, in these eight months, my Spirit Power has already reached Rank forty. Furthermore, you can personally check; my Spirit Power is definitely not unstable!"
Feeling his granddaughter's solid Spirit Power fluctuations and the same ten-thousand-year Spirit Rings.
School Master Ning was so excited his face flushed red. He slapped his thigh hard and shouted "Good!" three times in a row!
"Good! Good! Excellent!"
School Master Ning made a prompt decision and shouted orders to the Disciples outside the door.
"Someone! Go prepare the highest specification banquet immediately! Today, I want to celebrate properly!"
Then, School Master Ning turned around, looking at Wu Siduo, who had been standing calmly to the side, and spoke in a gentle tone.
"This classmate, please do us the honor of staying at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School for the banquet today so we can properly entertain you."
Ning Tian and Wu Feng also immediately stepped forward, warmly inviting Wu Siduo to stay and eat with them.
Facing everyone's invitation, Wu Siduo did not refuse; she simply nodded slightly and agreed.
Her expression remained as cold and aloof as ever, and she had no intention of releasing her Spirit or anything to show off; such things were meaningless to her.
School Master Ning's gaze inconspicuously sized up his daughter and Wu Feng.
He noticed that when the two of them treated Wu Siduo, their attitudes were very equal, even faintly carrying a hint of respect.
School Master Ning immediately understood.
Judging by the attitudes of these two girls, this cold girl named Wu Siduo was clearly a powerful character in that Shrek Academy in the sky.
Of course, for School Master Ning, exactly how strong Wu Siduo was didn't matter.
At the very least, her relationship with Ning Tian and Wu Feng was quite good.
For the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, that was enough.
