Douluo Dalu: Every Breath Steals Tang San's Women

Chapter 67: The Breakdown of Ning Fengzhi

Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!

Under the attack of Dugu Bo, Chen Xin, whose body was severely damaged, was sent back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School immediately through the Eighth Spirit Ability: Space Gate opened by Bone Douluo.

"Cough... cough..."

Chen Xin’s face was as pale as paper, his breath was weak, and he kept coughing up blood. He was laid flat on a bed, his sternum completely collapsed.

With one tail swipe from Dugu Bo, Chen Xin had lost half his life. Fortunately, he was a Titled Douluo with as much as 96 levels of spirit power.

Now, his broken body was only supported by his spirit power; otherwise, he would have undoubtedly perished.

Returning to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was just the beginning. If Chen Xin could not receive proper treatment, even if he managed to survive, his strength would be severely diminished, and he would be left with serious sequelae.

Ning Fengzhi, the continent’s number one Support Soul Master, did not have healing abilities, but within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, there was no lack of Spirit Masters who possessed healing capabilities.

Ning Fengzhi had lost his usual refined and easygoing demeanor. Upon returning to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, he shouted and hollered with an irritable temper, demanding that the Support Soul Masters with healing capabilities come to assist in treating Chen Xin.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School indeed had deep foundations. After half a day of treatment by several Support Soul Masters with healing capabilities, Chen Xin was finally saved.

The broken bones in his body had been reconnected, and his nearly shattered internal organs had been patched up and barely recovered.

Chen Xin’s breathing steadied, which meant he had passed the most dangerous moment, but returning to his Peak state would require a long period of recuperation.

In the short term, it was impossible for Chen Xin to fight again; even if he had to fight, he could at most exert fifty percent of his combat power.

After completing the treatment, those Support Soul Masters with healing capabilities very tactfully exited the room.

Soon, only Ning Fengzhi, Gu Rong, and the lying Chen Xin remained in the room.

Chen Xin looked dejected; his once sharp eyes were now clouded with an indescribable gloom.

There is no sorrow greater than a dead heart!

That was exactly how Chen Xin felt right now!

He, the dignified Sword Douluo, known as the Titled Douluo with the greatest attack power on the continent, had been defeated by Dugu Bo, the weakest Titled Douluo.

For a proud person like Chen Xin, failure was failure. He would not make any excuses for himself; he would only repeatedly blame himself in his heart, asking why he had lost to the likes of Dugu Bo.

Being too rigid leads to breaking!

That was the logic. The more unyielding a person is, the more easily they fall into internal strife after encountering setbacks, and the harder it is for them to walk out of it.

With Chen Xin’s current psychological state, if he could not see through it and move on, he would likely be stuck at 96 levels of spirit power for the rest of his life, never to see the slightest improvement.

Suddenly, Chen Xin turned his head, his gloomy eyes looking at Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong, and he twitched his mouth, saying with difficulty:

"Fengzhi, I am truly sorry. This matter has been ruined by me. I can’t even beat Dugu Bo anymore..."

"From now on, although I am very unwilling, the heavy responsibility of guarding the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School can only be handed over to you, old bone."

Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi secretly thought it was bad. Chen Xin had always taken guarding the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School as his own duty, but now he was instructing Gu Rong as if he were entrusting his Legacy.

Chen Xin’s Spirit had dispersed!

Without his Spirit, even with the Seven Kill Sword Spirit and 96 levels of spirit power, he would likely no longer be the sharp Sword Douluo of the past!

Ning Fengzhi hurriedly stepped forward, tightly grasping Chen Xin’s palm, and comforted him in a solemn tone:

"Sword Uncle, you cannot say that! The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School cannot do without you!"

"Today’s failure is entirely my responsibility; it was my support ability that was inferior to that Lan Chen’s."

"You are the sky-supporting white jade pillar and sea-bridging purple gold beam of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School; please never say such disheartening words again."

"Think about it, in the future, after I abdicate and Rongrong becomes the Sect Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, she will still need you to escort her. If you won’t consider it for me, you must consider it for Rongrong."

"Now, just rest and recuperate your body well. I will have Rongrong come to keep you company. Sword Uncle, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, I, and Rongrong, we all still rely on you."

Ning Fengzhi said a great deal, but only when he mentioned Ning Rongrong did a glimmer of light appear in Chen Xin’s gloomy eyes.

Ning Rongrong was someone Chen Xin and Gu Rong had watched grow up; both of them treated Ning Rongrong like their own granddaughter.

Chen Xin found the meaning of life once more, and he nodded, his voice weak as he said:

"I understand. I still have important things to do, and I will take care of my body."

Seeing Chen Xin perk up a little, Ning Fengzhi breathed a slight sigh of relief. He gave Gu Rong a look, and then the two walked out of the room one after the other, leaving Chen Xin to rest properly in the room.

After leaving the room, Ning Fengzhi walked about several hundred paces, his hands under his sleeves clenched tightly into fists. The more he thought about it, the more stifled and regretful he felt, his face as dark as the bottom of a pot.

Suddenly, he stopped his footsteps. Ning Fengzhi sighed heavily, and with an almost ferocious look in his eyes, he said:

"Bone Uncle, I regret it!"

"Back in Heaven Dou City, I should not have stopped you. If we had killed Lan Chen at that time, even if it meant offending Dugu Bo, or even offending Xue Qinghe and the Heaven Dou Imperial Family, at least we could have eliminated a major threat."

"Now, not only did we fail to kill Lan Chen, but we also let Sword Uncle be defeated by Dugu Bo, causing Sword Uncle to lose his Spirit. We have suffered a great loss, a great loss!"

"That Lan Chen, his Spirit’s support ability far exceeds the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. We no longer have the chance to eliminate him. As long as Lan Chen lives for one day, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will forever be a foil."

Ning Fengzhi said this with all his might. Suddenly, a fishy sweetness surged into his throat, but he gritted his teeth and swallowed it down.

In this life, desires are always endless.

Those at the bottom work hard from morning till night just for a full meal.

Those in the middle, once they are full, will want to improve their status.

Those at the top, once they have status, have all sorts of pursuits.

They want endless wealth, a reputation respected by others, superior privileges, and a Legacy that lasts for generations...

Ning Fengzhi was the continent’s number one Support Soul Master, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was the continent’s number one support Sect.

Was Ning Fengzhi satisfied with this?

Not satisfied!

Ning Fengzhi had attached himself to the Heaven Dou Empire Imperial Family and became the teacher of the Heaven Dou Crown Prince Xue Qinghe; all of this was to advance further.

To make himself the Imperial Preceptor of the Heaven Dou Empire, to make his Sect the state religion of the Heaven Dou Empire.

From this, one can see just how much Ning Fengzhi’s desires had inflated.

Ning Fengzhi had spent countless efforts to make the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda the continent’s number one support Spirit, and to make the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School the continent’s number one support Sect.

Now, he could only watch helplessly as Lan Chen rose; this was more painful for him than killing him.

After hearing what Ning Fengzhi said, Gu Rong wiped his neck with a ferocious look in his eyes and said:

"Fengzhi, then let’s make another move. Even if it’s a sneak attack or assassination, we must completely eliminate this threat, Lan Chen."

Ning Fengzhi smiled bitterly upon hearing this and shook his head:

"We have no chance left. Now that Sword Uncle is seriously injured, if it’s just the two of us, it’s impossible to find a chance to kill Lan Chen under Dugu Bo’s protection."

"Besides, I have a premonition that Dugu Bo will not let this rest. If that old poison master, who is covered in poison, runs to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to run wild, the only one who can block him is you, Bone Uncle."

"Bone Uncle, I will order the Sect Disciples not to go out for the time being, and I will have to trouble you to pay attention to the Sect’s defense. From now on, strengthen the guard; we absolutely cannot let Dugu Bo take advantage of us."

As his voice fell, Ning Fengzhi walked forward, dejected and soul-lost.

Now facts had proven that his emphasis on Lan Chen was completely correct, but unfortunately, there was no longer any chance to stifle Lan Chen’s rise.
