Chapter 546: Chapter 546: What? You Said You Killed Yu Yuanzhen in One Strike?

Gu Rong noticed Ning Fengzhi was still deep in thought and decided to speak first. "Su Ming, tell us, if the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan were to join Spirit Hall, would there be any restrictions on our development?"

Su Ming shook his head. "I can assure you that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan would retain a degree of autonomy. The only requirement would be to provide support from the core disciples in the rear guard if Spirit Hall enters into a national conflict."

"And as for the safety of these core disciples, you won't need to worry. They'll be well-protected, and I'll do my best to provide ample protective amulets for them."

Gu Rong looked surprised. "Are you certain? Becoming Spirit Hall's subsidiary doesn't mean we'll have to pay regular tribute or fulfill other obligations?"

Su Ming smiled. "Not at all. If Spirit Hall demanded such things, there wouldn't be enough Spirit Masters willing to join. Besides, Grandpa Bone, you know that the lower-ranked clans have long supported Spirit Hall without issue."

"But..." Su Ming paused.

"Well? There's a catch, right?" Gu Rong pressed, his suspicion evident.

Su Ming reassured him. "Not exactly. The only expectation is participation in Spirit Hall's merit-based system. If the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan becomes a subsidiary and doesn't contribute, they likely won't receive additional resources."

"Money isn't of great interest to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan," Su Ming continued, "but high-quality Spirit Bones or top-grade amulets, perhaps? Grandpa Bone, these must be valuable to you."

After hearing Su Ming's words, both Gu Rong and Ning Fengzhi felt Su Ming had effectively cornered them. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan was indeed in need of high-quality Spirit Bones and amulets, and such resources were rare in their ranks.

Once Su Ming finished, he looked at Ning Fengzhi earnestly. "Uncle Ning, to be honest, is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan truly bound to the Heaven Dou Empire?"

Ning Fengzhi frowned but remained silent. In truth, he was tempted by Su Ming's offer. If Spirit Hall did wage war later, this might be the best time to align with them. Despite years of supporting Heaven Dou, they had gained little in return. His main concern now was that many of their assets were still within the empire's borders.

"Fine! I'll agree," Ning Fengzhi said after a pause, "but I'll need some time to secure some of our assets in Heaven Dou or relocate them to safer locations."

Hearing Ning Fengzhi's decision, Su Ming finally broke into a smile. "Thank you, Uncle Ning! Now let's eat; I'm starving."

Seeing Su Ming revert to his usual, relaxed demeanor, Ning Fengzhi chuckled. "You really switch modes fast! During negotiations, you were all serious, and now you're back to your cheerful self."

Su Ming chuckled as he took a bite of food. "Well, Uncle Ning, that's the nature of negotiations. And besides, I had one more point up my sleeve that I didn't even have to use."

Intrigued, Ning Fengzhi asked, "And what was that? Now that we're on the same side, maybe you can share."

Su Ming grinned. "It seems like your intelligence network missed a piece of information, so I'll let you in on it. Yu Yuanzhen is dead—killed by me in a single strike."

"Hmm, hm—WHAT?!" Ning Fengzhi nearly dropped his chopsticks in shock. Gu Rong, stunned, yelled loud enough to make Su Ming's ears ring.

Seeing their reaction, Su Ming continued, "If you don't believe me, you'll find out soon enough. And now, the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan is led by Yu Luomian, but ultimately, I'm in control of the clan."

"Uncle Ning, surprised? Now, technically, the Upper Three Clans are down to two."

Ning Fengzhi was in disbelief. "But how? Yu Yuanzhen was said to have the ability to briefly reach demi-god level strength! And you killed him in a single blow? How?"

Instead of answering directly, Su Ming looked at Gu Rong. "Grandpa Bone, it's been a while. Have you reached level 95 yet?"

Gu Rong awkwardly replied, "I've had some insights but haven't quite managed it yet."

Su Ming smirked. "Would you like to test my abilities? I know you're skeptical, so why not see for yourself?"

Though initially resistant, Ning Fengzhi spoke up. "Sure! Grandpa Bone, why don't we find a secluded area to test this?"

"Fengzhi, you!" Gu Rong exclaimed in protest.

But Ning Fengzhi knew it was time to push Gu Rong. "What's wrong, Grandpa Bone? Are you afraid of Su Ming? You're the continent's premier defense-type Title Douluo. Su Ming is only a Spirit Emperor—surely you can block his attack?"

Red-faced, Gu Rong declared, "Of course I'm not afraid! Let's do this!"

Su Ming chuckled, understanding that they were both skeptical of his abilities. "Oh, and there's one more thing. I've received the Life Goddess's Inheritance."

Since it was impossible to keep the events at the Hall of the Supreme Pontiff hidden, he decided to share this piece of news, hoping it would strengthen their resolve.


Chapter 547: Chapter 547: Su Ming’s Suspicion – The Odd Growth in the Haotian Clan’s Strength

"Are you serious, Su Ming?!" Gu Rong couldn't hold back his exclamation.

Beside him, Ning Fengzhi was just as shaken. Despite his composure, he felt the same astonishment. Su Ming was only fourteen, and with merely the power of a Spirit Emperor, he had already gained the favor of the Goddess of Life.

At this moment, Ning Fengzhi was entirely convinced—and thankful for the decision he'd made.

Seeing their reactions, Su Ming smiled, pleased. This was exactly the response he wanted. To secure Ning Fengzhi's complete loyalty to Spirit Hall, he needed him to fully appreciate the strength they offered.

With the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan already under his influence, only the Haotian Clan remained among the Seven Great Sects. However, Su Ming had no intention of bringing them under Spirit Hall's banner—they didn't deserve it.

Moreover, he couldn't help but feel suspicious about the Haotian Clan elders. How could they have produced eight Title Douluo in just twenty years of seclusion?

To Su Ming, this was far too convenient. Haotian Clan's fame as the greatest tool spirit clan primarily rested on their mastery of the Haotian secret techniques, which had nothing to do with accelerated cultivation speed. Spirit power levels remained fixed from the start, and the Haotian Clan elders were already well past their prime.

Even in the original story, exceptionally talented spirit masters like Flender and Zhao Wuji took about ten years to advance from Spirit Sage to Spirit Douluo. Advancing from Spirit Douluo to Title Douluo was even harder. Unless all those elders had been at or above level 85 before retreating, the Haotian Clan would've already been more powerful than the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, which was highly unlikely.

The more he considered it, the more Su Ming felt his suspicion was valid. Spirit Hall had most of the continent's resources, yet only around twenty Title Douluo, and that included the seven Grand Elders. Yet the Haotian Clan, who had been isolated for two decades, still managed to produce eight Title Douluo with only basic supplies from Tang Yuehua?

It was absurd.

But plans to dismantle the Haotian Clan would have to wait until Spirit Hall established its nation. In the meantime, Su Ming's goal was to strengthen Spirit Hall by recruiting more sects to expand its power.

Indeed, expanding his own influence was crucial, even with the authority granted by Bibi Dong. First, he aimed to secure the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan's allegiance, then focus on the Four Single-Attribute Clans.

As for the Strength Clan, they had likely already learned about their former clan leader's death, with Tang San being the primary culprit. Su Ming hoped they would choose wisely; otherwise, while the Strength Clan was a valuable clan of skilled blacksmiths, he wouldn't hesitate to abandon them. After all, mass-producing spirit tools didn't rely solely on them; with Lou Gao on his side, success was all but guaranteed.

"Well, Uncle Ning, Grandpa Bone, now that we're all in agreement, let's wrap up." Then, as if remembering something, Su Ming asked, "Oh, by the way, Uncle Ning, how did it go with Master Lou Gao in Gengxin City? Is he willing?"

Ning Fengzhi smiled and took five throwing knives from his spirit tool. "Su Ming, see for yourself. What do you think of the quality?"

"According to Master Lou Gao, these knives can withstand attacks from a typical Spirit Douluo," Ning Fengzhi explained. "It's the best he can manage for now. He's limited by his own rank as a Spirit Douluo, and while Gengxin City has an abundance of materials, none can withstand Title Douluo-level attacks."

"Also, I must thank you for providing samples and blueprints of the spirit tools. Without those, Lou Gao wouldn't have been able to craft these so meticulously."

Admiring the five finely crafted, silver-white knives engraved with delicate patterns, Su Ming was thrilled. Though currently suited only for Spirit Douluo-level power, he was confident that with fine control over his spiritual energy, they could even injure Title Douluo-level opponents.

These knives would suffice as a temporary set for Ning Rongrong.

Su Ming believed that with better materials and Master Lou Gao's own improved abilities, he could produce even stronger weapons. And he didn't believe only the Clear Sky Hammer could forge Deep Sea Silver; if memory served, Sea God Island boasted pillars made entirely of Deep Sea Silver.

"Grandpa Bone, care to test them out?" Su Ming suggested.

With a flick of his fingers, he imbued the five throwing knives with a layer of dark energy, sending them directly toward Gu Rong.

Gu Rong was momentarily taken aback, realizing Su Ming probably wanted to test the knives' durability. The dark aura surrounding the blades made him uneasy, but he quickly summoned a row of black dragon bones in front of him to block them.

The next moment, the five knives embedded themselves into the dragon bones, their dark energy dissipating on impact.

Satisfied, Su Ming nodded, pleased with their performance. With his spiritual power coating them and a touch of destructive energy, they had indeed managed to pierce Gu Rong's defenses. "Not bad at all."

Gu Rong: …

Sweat trickled down Gu Rong's forehead. "Not bad at all"? Those were his dragon bones—summoned by a defense-oriented Title Douluo at level 95! Yet a few Spirit Douluo-grade knives had pierced them? He knew Su Ming had pulled back his spiritual power at the last moment; otherwise, the knives would've broken through entirely.

"Su Ming, how did you do that?" Gu Rong asked, stunned.

Could it be true that Su Ming really had killed Yu Yuanzhen in a single strike?
