Chapter 97: First Encounter with Ning Rongrong
As soon as the crisp sound ended, three beams of light flowed into Zhu Zhuqing's body.
In an instant, Zhu Zhuqing's soul power, speed, and strength all increased significantly, by more than forty percent.
Zhu Zhuqing, who was initially at a disadvantage, gradually regained her form.
Qi Tian looked up and saw a young girl and an old man standing on the mountain.
The young girl had blonde hair and a white dress, her skin as white as snow, and she was calm and composed; the old man had sparse hair and beard, and looked like a greasy, burly old man.
These two were Ning Rongrong and Gu Rong, the Bone Douluo, from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Ning Rongrong had just finished absorbing her spirit ring and happened to be passing by. With Gu Rong by her side, Qi Tian didn't even notice their arrival.
Seeing Zhu Zhuqing being bullied by a soul beast, she couldn't help but want to try out her new soul skill and help Zhu Zhuqing, who was also a human soul master.
Ning Rongrong noticed that someone was watching her, so she pretended to be calm and activated her soul skill to buff Zhu Zhuqing.
At this moment, Ning Rongrong reminded Qi Tian of Qian Renxue.
"What a coincidence, this girl actually put on an act in front of me?" Qi Tian found it a bit amusing.
Ning Rongrong, who is usually quirky and full of mischief, is now acting like a wise and shrewd person.
If Qi Tian hadn't known her true nature beforehand, he probably would have been fooled by her.
Zhu Zhuqing and the ghost leopard fought for a long time, and with Ning Rongrong's help, Zhu Zhuqing gradually gained the upper hand.
Seeing that she had trained enough, Qi Tian stopped watching the battle and directly activated his Blue Silver Domain.
"Huh~ Is this a talent domain?" Gu Rong exclaimed softly, looking at Qi Tian.
Soul Masters who can cultivate a domain either have cultivated their spirit to a high level or possess outstanding spirit talent, thus possessing a domain by default.
People with such a spirit domain are extremely rare even in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Moreover, Qi Tian's spirit is Blue Silver Grass, a spirit widely recognized as a useless one in the soul master world, which is even more rare.
Qi Tian first used his first spirit ring skill to disguise the color of the spirit ring.
His spirit rings changed to ordinary yellow, yellow, purple, purple, and at the same time, his second spirit ring lit up.
The Blue Silver Overlord Spear, combined with the Blue Silver Domain, transforms into a new skill: [Blue Silver Spear Formation].
With Qi Tian splitting into three, the three Overlord Spears precisely avoided the ghost leopard's phantom and found its true form.
The three Overlord Spears pierced the ghost leopard's waist and abdomen, and its legs, respectively, severely injuring it and rendering it unable to move.
Zhu Zhuqing seized the opportunity and pierced the heart of the ghost leopard with the black light in her hand, ending its life.
Only after a purple soul ring was formed did Zhu Zhuqing look at Ning Rongrong calmly and say, "Thank you!"
Ning Rongrong withdrew her spirit, feeling somewhat displeased: "This woman is quite pretty, yet she's even more pretentious than me?"
Keep in mind that she is already a level 33 Soul Elder, and a support Soul Master at that. Logically speaking, no one has the right to act arrogantly in front of her.
Seeing this, Qi Tian stepped forward and thanked her, saying, "Thank you for your help, young lady!"
"My name is Tian Qi, and that is my companion, Zhu Zhuqing. May I ask your honorable name, young lady?"
Ning Rongrong felt a little better and said calmly, "You're too kind!"
"My name is Ning Rongrong, and I am a disciple of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. It is only right that I take action."
"So Miss Rongrong comes from one of the three upper sects! Truly extraordinary!" Qi Tian said, feigning shock.
"He does have some knowledge!" Ning Rongrong thought to herself.
"Haha, young friend Tian Qi is quite remarkable, possessing such cultivation at such a young age. May I ask which sect you belong to?"
Gu Rong stared intently at Qi Tian, his heart filled with a desire to cherish his talent.
Qi Tian shook his head: "Thank you for your praise, senior. I have no master."
Gu Rong's eyes lit up: "Why don't you join our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, young friend?"
"Isn't the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect a sect that assists Soul Masters?" Qi Tian asked.
Seeing the two chatting happily, Ning Rongrong felt somewhat displeased and interjected, "Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect also has Battle Soul Masters!"
"Rongrong is right. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect also has Battle Soul Masters, and their treatment is much better than that of the Zhu family in the Star Luo Empire."
Gu Rong smiled mysteriously and said, "And there's even a chance to become partners with a direct disciple, hehe!"
"I appreciate your kindness, senior, but I'm used to a life of leisure and I'm afraid I won't be able to stand the constraints of the sect."
Gu Rong wanted to say something more, but when he thought that Qi Tian's spirit was just Blue Silver Grass, a universally acknowledged useless spirit in the soul master world, he gave up.
Just then, Zhu Zhuqing began absorbing the spirit ring, and Gu Rong's attention was drawn to her.
"Tsk tsk, this girl's talent is no less than Rongrong's; she actually dared to absorb a two-thousand-year-old soul ring."
"It seems the Zhu family of Star Luo is about to produce a worthy figure! But this kid probably has no chance; he can't compete with the Star Luo royal family!"
Gu Rong muttered softly, his voice not loud, but Qi Tian and Ning Rongrong heard it.
Qi Tian just smiled and didn't take it to heart, but Ning Rongrong's gossip fire burned fiercely.
"Grandpa Bone, you said she has a connection with the Star Luo royal family?" Ning Rongrong's eyes darted between Zhu Zhuqing and Qi Tian.
Gu Rong nodded and began telling Ning Rongrong the story of the Star Luo Royal Family.
As a veteran Titled Douluo, he naturally knew many secrets, and besides, the affairs of the Star Luo Royal Family were hardly secrets at all.
This includes the fusion technique of the spirits of the Dai and Zhu families, as well as their generations of in-law relationships.
As Ning Rongrong listened, her gaze toward Qi Tian and Zhu Zhuqing grew increasingly intense.
She seemed to see a love story from a folk tale: a poor boy elopes with a royal fiancée, only to be hunted down by the royal family. That must be very interesting.
"Since I'm going to run away from home anyway to find out about Brother Tian, why don't I just go with them?"
"Following them must be very interesting!" Ning Rongrong thought to herself.
Thinking of this, Ning Rongrong came up with an idea. She whispered to Gu Rong, "Grandpa Bone, why did you recruit that Tian Qi just now? Do you think highly of him?"
Bone Douluo lowered his head and patiently explained, "Not bad, this kid is not simple. He has a soul power cultivation of level 47 at such a young age."
Although he didn't examine Qi Tian's bones, Qi Tian looked very young, at most sixteen or seventeen years old.
He reached the Soul Sect level at the age of sixteen or seventeen, making him an absolute cultivation genius in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
"Furthermore, he has awakened the talent domain of his spirit, and his application of soul skills has reached its peak."
"Just now, he combined his domain with his soul ring skill, and the power of the skill was comparable to a soul skill that had been around for thousands of years. He is definitely a little genius."
Upon hearing this, Ning Rongrong also became curious about Qi Tian.
"Grandpa Bone, what do you think about me going out to train with them?" Ning Rongrong asked eagerly.
Gu Rong was startled: "Oh my goodness, my little ancestor, don't call me grandpa anymore!"
"Go out and gain experience? If anything happens to you, your father and that old bastard will tear this old man to pieces!"
