As soon as Su Cheng finished speaking, Ning Fengzhi's smile instantly froze on his face.
He then turned to look at Chen Xin and found his expression also calm and indifferent. At once, he understood that perhaps there were other secrets involved here.
"Cheng'er wants to join Spirit Hall," Chen Xin said.
At this point, he no longer had anything to oppose.
Seeing Ning Fengzhi's confusion, Su Cheng also did not hide anything and said directly, "Spirit Hall has the hatred of killing my father. But if I want to take revenge purely by strength, there is no hope. I can only take another path and start from the inside."
In recent years, under Qian Xunji's leadership, Spirit Hall's reputation indeed was not as good as before, but there was no need to wave any banner of righteousness.
Everyone present was a smart person. He only needed to explain the pros and cons, and make it clear that he and Spirit Hall stood on completely opposite sides—that was enough.
Although Ning Fengzhi was not powerful, he had never lacked ambition. Spirit Hall was a mountain pressing on top of everyone's heads.
Moreover, with Tang Chen having disappeared for many years and Qian Daoliu unrivaled in the world, Spirit Hall's momentum had only grown stronger in recent years.
As long as Spirit Hall existed, the Upper Three Sects would not only fail to advance—they would struggle just to maintain their original level of influence. Otherwise, in the original work, Ning Fengzhi wouldn't have had to repeat the phrase "the Upper Three Sects share the same breath" every day.
"What is your plan?" After a long silence, Ning Fengzhi finally asked.
If it were before today, he absolutely wouldn't care so much about Su Cheng's life or death. Although the boy was Chen Xin's adopted son, he had no cultivation talent and held no value.
But after today, Su Cheng's strategic value in his mind was even higher than that of Chen Xin, who was still only at the Spirit Douluo level.
Ning Fengzhi himself was an auxiliary-type spirit master. Naturally, he did not judge people solely by combat strength. Just the fact that Su Cheng had developed a method to use external means to absorb a spirit ring far above one's level was enough to mark him as a peerless genius. Even more rare was the courage to conceive such an idea and the will to execute it.
If possible, he would of course prefer for Su Cheng to serve the sect. But if Su Cheng's own desire was strong, and he indeed had a chance to severely damage Spirit Hall, then allowing him to try was not unacceptable.
"Sect Master, you don't need to rush. Now is not the time. After I absorb a thousand-year second spirit ring, I'll stage a grand performance for the whole continent. But you will need to endure for now. This method is not suitable for spreading within the sect at this moment."
To be honest, in Su Cheng's heart, the easiest person to handle was someone like Ning Fengzhi.
Clear-minded, understanding of advance and retreat, far-sighted, and always placing利益 first—possessing some cleverness but lacking great wisdom, and with a will far less firm than someone like Chen Xin.
Ning Fengzhi looked at the boy not yet nine years of age before him, nodded, and said with a complicated expression, "When the time comes and you publicly release this research to the entire continent free of charge, your reputation may far surpass that so-called 'Grandmaster' Yu Xiaogang."
Su Cheng laughed disdainfully."Sect Master, I've read that Yu Xiaogang's so-called 'Ten Core Competencies of Spirit Theory.' It's merely a summary of predecessors' experiences—picking up others' leftovers. And there are many errors within it. Comparing me to him is underestimating me."
He lowered his head and stared at his cracked Broken Sword martial soul, speaking calmly:"If I don't possess value beyond ordinary people, then with my innate soul power of 0.5, what right do I have to join Spirit Hall? And not only must I enter Spirit Hall—I want them to beg me to join."
[After surpassing the age limit to absorb your first spirit ring, you then spent more than four years to finally reach level 20. Your cultivation speed has already fallen far behind others of your generation within the sect, and no one holds expectations for you anymore. Other than occasional ridicule, most people ignore you entirely—which suits you perfectly. But with Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin's support, you always had ample cultivation resources, and your research in medicine never stopped.]
[With Chen Xin's help, at the age of 13, you successfully killed the 1100-year Nether Shadow Wolf and added an unprecedented purple second spirit ring to your martial soul. Your spirit power also broke through to level 22. Perhaps, you have a certain chance of reaching beyond level 30 before age twenty. But you believe that even if you cannot break through, it doesn't matter. With your current understanding of medicine and the human body, the so-called bottleneck at level 30 is nothing.]
[In these years, due to Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin giving you unconditional resource support, you gradually drew strong dissatisfaction from the sect's elders and disciples. Rumors spread wildly. During this time, Chen Xin even broke through to the Title Douluo realm, yet he did nothing to suppress the sect's criticism toward you—rather, he allowed it to grow. This was interpreted as a sign that your adoptive father had already given up on you.]
[In truth, this was exactly your intention, and part of the plan you had long discussed with Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin.]
"You want to leave the sect now?" Chen Xin hesitated slightly.
Although this was long decided, fatherly affection could not be cut easily.
"Yes, Father. We've prepared long enough. It's time to cut cleanly."
Compared to Chen Xin, Su Cheng was much calmer.
It wasn't because he had no feelings for his adoptive father.
Although most of his time in the life simulation passed quickly in the form of text, everything that had happened had truly settled into his memory—his emotions were not false.
But destroying Spirit Hall was too difficult. A single misstep could lead to eternal damnation. He could not allow emotion to affect his decisions.
"My theory is almost fully complete. Absorbing a ten-thousand-year spirit ring requires spiritual suppression. This requires not only temporary stimulation, but also long-term foundation building. Formulas for medicinal liquids that slowly enhance spiritual power, acupoints that stimulate the spirit, as well as related training methods—I have already left these behind for the sect."
He then looked toward Ning Fengzhi standing nearby."Sect Master, if I fail, at least I have left some heritage for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Consider it a gift to my unborn junior nephew. Don't worry—I will not reveal the entirety of this content to Spirit Hall until I am certain I can accomplish my goal."
He sighed. "It's just a pity that there are still no results regarding the research on ten-thousand-year spirit rings. There's simply too little information available."
Ning Fengzhi stared at Su Cheng, bowed deeply, and said solemnly,"On behalf of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect as its sect master, I thank you for everything you have done."
Then he turned and left, leaving the final moments to the father and son.
Seeing Chen Xin's faintly sorrowful expression, Su Cheng suddenly smiled."You're a Title Douluo now. Although you're a bit older, you can still have a child. You should hurry and have someone to inherit your Seven Kill Sword. It's a pity that I lack the talent—I can't learn your Seven Kill Sword."
"You brat!" Chen Xin widened his eyes.
"Alright, I'm off! The next time you hear news of me, I'll surely already be famous across the continent!"
Watching Su Cheng wave casually and walk away, Chen Xin felt slightly dazed.
He had just turned eighteen this year.
Not long after, the news spread that Sword Douluo Chen Xin's adoptive son had angrily left the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect due to internal prejudice.
But the continent didn't pay much attention. At most, people treated it as something to talk about after meals, believing he was just another Yu Xiaogang—trash with only 0.5 innate soul power.
But two months later, everything changed.
The situation of the continent shifted dramatically, and the name Su Cheng spread across the land.
