Ning Rongrong all called him Xiaowen but Su Wen didn't mind.
It sounded more pleasing that way.
"Hello, Rongrong."
Ning Fengzhi on the side said, "Rongrong, your brother Xiaowen is a genius. You should learn from him and cultivate well in the future."
"Okay, okay, dad, you're so annoying. I also cultivate well." Ning Rongrong pouted, holding her head in her hands, as if she didn't want to listen.
Ning Fengzhi, seeing this, twitched his mouth.
He was just saying nice things, and so quickly he couldn't suppress her attitude again...
"brother Xiaowen, what are you amazing at? Can Rongrong take a look?" Ning Rongrong turned to Su Wen, wanting to see Su Wen's prowess.
Su Wen smiled and directly summoned his Martial Spirit.
One yellow and one purple, two Spirit Rings rose from under his feet.
"A thousand years old Spirit Ring!" Ning Rongrong widened her eyes, and opened her small mouth, looking surprised.
One, two.
She counted the number of Su Wen's Spirit Rings, and her mind became a bit confused.
"Dad, didn't you say that the second Spirit Ring can only be below seven hundred years?"
"Haha, that's the amazing thing about your brother Xiaowen. Other Spirit Masters can't do it. He's the only one on the current continent whose second Spirit Ring has reached a thousand years old!"
Ning Rongrong circled around Su Wen, observing left and right. She thought the second Spirit Ring, which was purple, looked cool.
"brother Xiaowen, how did you do it? Can Rongrong also absorb a thousand years old Spirit Ring when getting the second Spirit Ring?" The more she looked, the more eager she became. She looked up at Su Wen with a pleading expression.
Ning Fengzhi chuckled and shook his head, saying, "Rongrong, your brother Xiaowen is a special case. Don't be silly."
"Yeah, Rongrong, if you want to absorb a thousand years old Spirit Ringn and if your cultivation isn't up to par, it might explode with a bang," Su Wen said, exaggeratingly gesturing with his hands to depict the exploding scene.
"Humph, why can't I do it?"
"There are too many conditions that need to be met to succeed" Su Wen shook his head, looking at Ning Fengzhi.
Ning Fengzhi understood and mentally gave Su Wen a thumbs up. Anyway, making Rongrong work hard for a while is a gain.
"Rongrong, wanting to absorb a thousand years old Spirit Ring requires high physical fitness," Ning Fengzhi said.
"Ah? It also requires exercise?" Ning Rongrong frowned, her small face showing displeasure. She hated exercising, especially the kind that was physically painful.
"Of course, physical fitness is one aspect, and besides that, Spiritual Power must reach a certain level."
"Spiritual Power?"
"Yes, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's Heart Separation Control can train Spiritual Power."
Ning Rongrong suddenly became alert, staring with big eyes as she shifted her gaze between Su Wen and Ning Fengzhi.
You guys aren't tricking me, are you?
"Rongrong, indeed, this is the reason your brother Xiaowen successfully absorbed a thousand years old Spirit Ring."
"Of course, Rongrong, you don't need to compare yourself to your brother Xiaowen. As long as you practice well and break through level twenty as soon as possible, your Grandpa Sword can find you a hundred-year Spirit Ring closest to the second ring's limit when the time comes."
A father knows his daughter best.
Within the sect, Ning Rongrong could be unruly, partly due to her high talent. If she was surpassed by someone of the same age in a particular aspect, she wouldn't dare to stir up trouble. Instead, she would work hard to surpass them and transform into a little witch again.
Unfortunately, there were very few geniuses within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect who could suppress Ning Rongrong.
"Rongrong, it's okay if you can't absorb a thousand years old Spirit Ring. Maybe with a bit of effort, you can absorb a Spirit Ring of eight or nine hundred years," Su Wen spoke at this moment.
Ning Rongrong bared her little tiger teeth, fiercely saying, "Impossible, I will definitely be able to absorb a thousand years old Spirit Ring!"
However, as soon as she said it, she felt a bit regretful. Her eyes shifted, and she came to Su Wen's side, pulling on the hem of Su Wen's clothes, looking pitiful. She asked, "brother Xiaowen, is there any trick?"
"Of course there is."
"Really?" Ning Rongrong exclaimed with joy.
"Of course, after we team up and fight against two Spirit Grand Masters, if we win, I'll tell you."
"Okay!"
Ning Rongrong clenched her fists, showing a spirited appearance thinking 'With a purple Spirit Ring, just releasing it will surely astonish everyone. Hahaha'.
Thinking of such a scene, Ning Rongrong's eyes formed crescents.
"In that case, Rongrong, we need to first understand each other's abilities"
...
One hour later.
"In the next match, the "I won't play support" team versus the "Cat" team, please prepare, both teams."
When her name was called, Ning Rongrong felt a bit embarrassed.
"What a weird name." She muttered to herself.
"Alright, get ready, the battle is about to begin." Su Wen led Ning Rongrong onto the stage.
Seeing two children stepping up, the two women on the opposite side breathed a sigh of relief. They looked at Su Wen and Ning Rongrong with a slightly teasing expression.
"Little brother and little sister, are you sure you didn't register incorrectly?"
The two female Spirit Masters in the Cat Team were informed before the start that their team was being challenged by strong opponents so they were worried. But now they only appeared to be 2 kids and one of them was not even Spirt Grand Master!
The audience below was also surprised by the age of the two participants. Su Wen was understandable, being around eleven and a half years old, but due to absorbing two Spirit Rings and sufficient Evolution, his height had reached 1.7 meters, making him not look particularly small.
However, Ning Rongrong was only nine years old, truly a little child.
While the Cat Team and the audience questioned, the referees were not overly surprised. This "Scholar Warrior" had caused quite a stir in the Great Spirit Arena before, and the referees had heard about him.
As for the other "Little Assistant," she had been specifically instructed by the supervisor earlier to be careful and not let her get hurt. This also indicated that the origin of this "Little Assistant" was not ordinary.
Therefore, the Cat Team and the audience regarded Su Wen and Ning Rongrong as children, but the referee did not.
"Both sides, get ready."
"The match begins!"
Martial Spirits were released. The two sisters in the Cat Team both had cat-type Martial Spirits, one black and one white. Their Spirit Rings were one white and one yellow.
On the other hand, the "I won't play support" team was more dazzling. Their Martial Spirits and Spirit Rings also elicited exclamations from the onlookers, and even the cat sisters on the opposite side wore solemn expressions.
The famous Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda!
The yellow Spirit Ring shimmered, and Ning Rongrong immediately used her First Spirit Skill to enhance Su Wen.
A 20% increase in power.
But Ning Rongrong was not the most eye-catching.
The real attention was on Su Wen's Martial Spirit and Spirit Rings.
His Martial Spirit was impressive, a book with vibrant purple patterns. What truly astonished people, however, was the pairing of his two Spirit Rings—one yellow and one purple.
The battle had already begun, and Su Wen had no intention of paying attention to the reactions of the spectators.
The Heavenly Book danced above his head, pages flying out, forming a dozen or so pages that circled around Ning Rongrong. Simultaneously, the Book Martial Spirit connected with the energy of heaven and earth, and flames began to emerge from Su Wen's fists.
