About half a month later, the Titled Ceremony that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had been preparing for a long time was finally about to begin.
During this period, the forerunners of the major sects had already arrived, but those real big shots were still late, and it was estimated that they would not truly arrive until the last day.
Tianlin hadn't cultivated much these days, and had been accompanying Ning Rongrong. Seeing the two of them so close, Gu Ran couldn't help but feel envious.
Being stimulated like this, he really made up his mind to pursue Ye Lingling. Upon learning of this, Gu Rong and Ning Fengzhi expressed their complete agreement. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda was the best in the world in terms of amplification. If Gu Ran could also bring the strongest healer into the sect, they would definitely support it with both hands.
Soon, the day for the official start of the ceremony arrived. As the successor sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, and the future Sect Protecting Douluo, Ning Rongrong, Tianlin, and Gu Ran absolutely could not be absent today. They each stood behind their fathers or masters, waiting for the guests to arrive one by one.
"Sect Master Huyan of the Elephant Armor Sect has arrived!" A disciple outside shouted, announcing the arrival of a big figure.
"Haha, Sect Master Ning, Sword Douluo Your Excellency, Bone Douluo Your Excellency, it's been a long time," a behemoth walked in with a loud laugh. He was at least two and a half meters tall, like a mountain of meat, giving people a very imposing feeling. His skin was dark, and his big eyes were like copper bells. Ning Fengzhi standing with him looked like a child.
That was the Sect Master of the Elephant Armor Sect, Heavenly Elephant Huyan Zhen, currently an eighty-seventh level Defense-type Soul Douluo.
The Elephant Armor Sect was known as the number one defense sect in the world, with the direct line Spirit being the Diamond Mammoth, a top Spirit that combined both strength and defense. However, as the sect master, Huyan Zhen was not the number one in defense on the continent.
Because the number one on the surface was occupied by Bone Douluo Gu Rong of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Huyan Zhen, this old fellow, was very jealous of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Tianlin knew that he had already secretly taken refuge in the Spirit Hall, attempting to replace the position of the Upper Three Sects.
Tianlin remembered the Soul Hunting Operation against the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School in the original work, and it seemed that he had also participated. In Tianlin's heart, he had completely sentenced this guy to death.
Anyway, although this guy's defense was strong, his IQ was not high. He even dared to use his body to resist the Poseidon Trident. To plot against him should not be difficult.
"Sect Master Huyan's personal visit brings honor to my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Please take a seat." Ning Fengzhi's attitude towards him was lukewarm. Presumably, with Ning Fengzhi's wisdom, he had already noticed Huyan Zhen's involvement with the Spirit Hall. Since it was impossible to become friends, he didn't need to be too enthusiastic, and just maintain a similar level of courtesy.
After that, several other sect guests arrived one after another. Apart from the Elephant Armor Sect, the other sects of the Lower Four Sects only sent an envoy, such as the Sacred Dragon Sect, which sent Tuoba Xi's younger brother, Tuoba Ye.
On the Heaven Dou Imperial Family side, it was not Xue Qinghe who came. As the crown prince, he had too many political affairs, so Prince Xue Xing represented the Snow Night Emperor. With Prince Xue Xing's status in the Heaven Dou Empire, he was fully qualified.
In addition, the grandfather of the Shi Brothers also came, Shi Lei, a spirited old man. His Spirit was also the Black Tortoise Turtle. Although he didn't have a sect, Shi Lei was one of the few Soul Douluos on the continent who could compete with Huyan Zhen in terms of defense.
Shi Lei's relationship with Gu Rong was extremely good, and they often exchanged insights on defense together.
"Haha, Old Turtle, why are you so late? Brother misses you so much. You must punish yourself with three cups later to show a slight punishment." Gu Rong said enthusiastically.
"Old Bone, don't say three cups, even thirty cups this old man will accompany you. First, to celebrate your Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School having another Titled Douluo, and second, to express my gratitude to you. My two grandsons came back and told me that thanks to Tianlin of your sect for providing them with the Immortal Grade Divine Pill, they have made such great progress in a short period of time." Shi Lei said gratefully.
Not long ago, his two grandsons returned home, and their progress was so great that it shocked him. Upon asking, he learned that it was someone from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School who had helped them, so he took this opportunity to come and thank them in person.
"This has nothing to do with me, it's Tianlin's credit. Xiao Tian, come over here." Gu Rong beckoned Tianlin to come over and introduced him, "This is Shi Lei, an eighty-fifth level defense-type Battle Soul Douluo, and also the grandfather of the Shi Brothers. This time he is here specifically to thank you."
"Hello, Senior. I am friends with the two Shi Brothers. They usually take care of me in the Academy. I am just returning the favor. Senior, you don't need to be too polite." Tianlin cupped his fists.
Shi Lei nodded, "Well, you are truly a young talent. At such a young age, your soul power is so high, far more outstanding than my two grandsons. You are called Tianlin, right? Since you are friends with my grandsons, then I will impolitely call you Xiao Tian."
"Xiao Tian, today you helped my two grandsons, and this old man will definitely repay you handsomely in the future!" Shi Lei said seriously.
It seemed that he was a very principled person, and he would definitely repay kindness. This was also a good thing for Tianlin, after all, a Soul Douluo's favor was quite valuable.
"The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family Patriarch, Thunder Your Excellency has arrived!"
At this moment, a super heavyweight figure arrived, the sect master of the Third Sect, Thunder Douluo Yu Yuanzhen.
Ning Fengzhi hurriedly went out to greet him, after all, the person who came was completely on par with him in terms of status.
"Hmph!" Huyan Zhen snorted unhappily. Ning Fengzhi's double standard attitude towards the two was too undisguised. So what if they were the Upper Three Sects? What was so great about it? One day he would replace them.
Tianlin followed Ning Fengzhi out, and saw that the person who came was a very handsome middle-aged man. His cultivation was similar to Gu Rong's back then. With such profound soul power, even though he was over 80 years old, he still looked very young.
Legend says this person was a spirited and righteous sect leader who took pride in his Spirit and placed the interests of his sect above all else. He even once used the family's ultimate technique, Dragon Transformation, to fight Sword Douluo Chen Xin to a draw.
"Your Excellency Thunder, it has been a long time. I didn't expect you to come here in person. Ning Fengzhi is deeply honored and thanks you." Although Ning Fengzhi is also a sect master, even he is only a Soul Douluo at present. When facing a Titled Douluo, he always seems to be a step lower.
This is also why he has insisted on evolving the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda for so many years.
"Sect Master Ning is too polite. I am here today not only to celebrate, but also for a very important matter," Yu Yuanzhen said.
Ning Fengzhi asked curiously, "Oh? I wonder what important matter it is?"
Yu Yuanzhen smiled mysteriously, "Allow me to keep you in suspense for now. I will tell you in detail after the Titled Ceremony is over."
Seeing this, Ning Fengzhi did not ask further and immediately welcomed Yu Yuanzhen and his grandson Yu Tianheng inside.
By this point, the important guests had almost all arrived, and the Titled Ceremony could basically begin, but at this moment, a group of uninvited guests had already arrived at the city gate.
