Chapter 59: Chapter 59: Extremely Satisfied
Chapter 59: Extremely Satisfied
Sword Douluo didn't ask Su Mo whether he thought he was worthy of Ning Rongrong; instead, he asked whether Su Mo could protect her.
He knew that Su Mo would understand what he meant.
"In my opinion, as long as two people truly love each other, everything else is secondary."
"But I also understand the concerns of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan. You all hope that Rongrong finds someone who can protect her, rather than someone she needs to protect."
Su Mo first expressed his views on relationships, acknowledging the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan's worries.
"Our martial souls can produce a martial soul resonance!"
Su Mo then revealed the fact that he and Ning Rongrong were able to develop a martial soul fusion technique.
"Martial soul resonance?"
"Are you serious?"
Hearing Su Mo's words, Sword Douluo couldn't help but be surprised.
In the history of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan, a martial soul capable of resonating with theirs had never appeared before.
"Yes, if you don't believe me, Sword Douluo, you can ask Rongrong yourself!"
"However, our martial soul resonance is still in its early stages, and we haven't yet developed a full martial soul fusion technique."
Su Mo admitted candidly.
"Haha, good, very good!"
"You've given me yet another surprise!"
Sword Douluo laughed softly, clearly pleased.
However, when he remembered that Su Mo's innate soul power was only level 2, Sword Douluo quickly fell silent again.
He was satisfied with everything about Su Mo, except for his talent.
"Sword Douluo, are you worried about my talent?"
Seeing Sword Douluo's reaction, Su Mo realized that it was time to reveal the secret of his "weapon refinement into soul" method.
Since he needed the resources of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan, he decided it was best to reveal this now. He thought, Might as well expose it sooner rather than later.
"Are you not worried about your own talent?"
Sword Douluo's heart trembled at Su Mo's words, sensing that there was indeed something special about him.
"Not at all, Sword Douluo."
"Besides inventing the combat technique of fusing soul weapons with my martial soul, I've also discovered a method to evolve my martial soul. I call it 'weapon refinement into soul.'"
With Ning Rongrong's affection for him and their ability to use a martial soul fusion technique, Su Mo was confident that as long as he showed enough potential, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan wouldn't reject him.
If they did, it would only mean the clan lacked vision.
But since Ning Fengzhi had managed to convince both Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo to support him when he was younger, Su Mo believed Ning Fengzhi wasn't someone who lacked foresight.
This was why Su Mo wasn't afraid of revealing this secret. He wasn't worried that the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan would try to kill him to monopolize the method.
If that happened, Su Mo thought with a hint of dark humor, he would just have to burn Bibi Dong's divine consciousness as a last resort.
"Evolve a martial soul?"
"Are you telling the truth? You're not lying to me, are you?"
If Su Mo's earlier revelations had surprised Sword Douluo, then this statement truly shook him to the core.
"No, of course not! How could I dare lie to you, Sword Douluo?"
Su Mo smiled.
"Tell me more, in detail. What exactly is this 'weapon refinement into soul' you speak of?"
Buzz—
As Sword Douluo spoke in excitement, he waved his hand, using his soul power to form a soundproof barrier around them.
"Weapon refinement into soul is..."
Seeing Sword Douluo's astonished expression, Su Mo couldn't help but feel a sense of pride. He then explained the intricacies of the method.
To further prove his claim, Su Mo even demonstrated the subtle connection between himself and the Black Iron Spear after a period of refining it.
"Sword Douluo, before this, I had already successfully refined my martial soul once. That's why my martial soul has already undergone one evolution."
"As my martial soul evolves, my talent also improves significantly. As long as I continue practicing weapon refinement into soul, my talent will continue to grow!"
"So, I am confident that I will be able to protect Rongrong in the future!" Su Mo's voice was full of confidence as he finished speaking.
"Hahaha, good, good, good!"
"You've given me too many surprises today, young man!"
"Rest assured, as long as you truly love Rongrong, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan will no longer stand in your way!"
Seeing Su Mo's confident demeanor, Sword Douluo finally emerged from his shock, a satisfied smile spreading across his face.
He was beyond satisfied with the outcome of today. In fact, satisfaction wasn't enough to describe it—he was overjoyed.
Su Mo had the right character, ability, and, most importantly, a sharp mind. Sword Douluo was completely astonished; while the invention of the soul weapon fusion was impressive, the discovery of weapon refinement into soul left him utterly shaken.
"By the way, is weapon refinement into soul something all weapon-type soul masters can cultivate?" Sword Douluo suddenly asked as something crossed his mind.
"No, it requires a certain level of talent in spiritual power—only those who can resonate with their weapon or have strong enough spiritual power can practice it."
Su Mo shook his head. As his understanding of weapon refinement into soul grew, Su Mo realized that it required specific conditions.
Fortunately for him, his strong spiritual power, a result of his reincarnated soul, made him well-suited for the technique.
"Good! That's even better!"
Upon hearing that there were prerequisites, Sword Douluo was actually relieved.
"Alright, I'm fully convinced now. You truly have the ability to protect Rongrong. From now on, in Shrek Academy, I trust you to take care of her!"
"Don't mention to Rongrong that I came here. I'll head back now," Sword Douluo continued, his smile never fading, already eager to relay the good news to Ning Fengzhi.
"Don't worry, Sword Douluo. I will take good care of Rongrong!" Su Mo promised.
Sword Douluo nodded with satisfaction. "Good. From now on, just call me Grandpa Sword, like Rongrong does!"
"Yes, Grandpa Sword!" Su Mo replied, delighted to have gained the support of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Clan.
Su Mo didn't mind the idea of relying on his connections to climb higher. After all, his feelings for Ning Rongrong were genuine.
"Haha, very well then, Grandpa Sword will be on his way!"
Sword Douluo laughed heartily, summoned his Seven Kill Sword, and leapt onto it, preparing to leave.
Just as he was about to depart, a thought struck Sword Douluo, and he paused. "By the way, young man, how did you acquire your soul rings?"
"Grandpa Sword, soul beasts of hundred- and thousand-year grades don't have much intelligence. They aren't that different from regular wild beasts. I simply set up traps beforehand and lured them in. Once they were trapped, it was much easier!"
Su Mo explained with a smile.
"You clever boy! I thought someone had helped you, but it turns out you did it all on your own!"
Hearing Su Mo's explanation, Sword Douluo was even more impressed.
Not only was Su Mo smart, but he also knew how to leverage his intelligence.
"Wait a minute! You absorbed a thousand-year soul ring as your second ring—did you really take that risk based on the Grandmaster's theory?"
Sword Douluo quickly connected the dots, eyeing Su Mo with curiosity once again.
"As expected, nothing gets past Grandpa Sword!"
"Hahaha, good, good, good!!"
