Chapter 228: Encounter by Chance, Shui Yue'er and Shui Bing'er (Part )

"Sister Yanyan, why do you seem absent-minded?" After leaving Hagen City, Dugu Yan has been in this inexplicable state, which makes Ning Rongrong quite curious.

"Rongrong, do you know Ye Lingling's family?" Dugu Yan asked.

As an auxiliary spirit master, and also the leader of the continent's top auxiliary sect, Ning Rongrong should be more clear about this matter.

“Well… isn’t the Nine-Hearted Begonia a single-line family? Does it have a family?” Ning Rongrong stopped, a look of surprise on her face.

"In theory, it is a single lineage, but in reality, it means that only two Nine-Hearted Begonias can appear in the same period. They are usually directly related, but they also exist in families."

"However, the Nine-Hearted Begonias seem to be cursed. They are not blessed by their family and may even be hated. For this reason, they generally do not reveal their family's situation to anyone outside."

"I have a good relationship with Lingling. She once told me that she was from Hagen City, the capital of the Haagen-Dazs Kingdom."

"Oh, the Ye family from Hagen City?" Ning Rongrong's voice sounded a little surprised.

"Very likely." Dugu Yan pondered for a while and nodded, "She told me that her family has a large sphere of influence in Hagen City."

"I see. The royal family, I didn't expect that!" Ning Rongrong chuckled. "It's not impossible. As the royal family of the Kingdom of Hagen, their spying on the Nine-Hearted Begonia made them make a decision that goes against their ancestors, and then..."

"I understand. The Nine-Hearted Begonia is a lonely star, and the royal family of the kingdom is afraid of it, so they just pretend that this bloodline does not exist."

However, think about it, those who can study at Tiandou Royal Academy are either rich or noble.

Jiuxin Haitang is an auxiliary soul master, but she has not been used for breeding. It is really impossible if there is no power behind her.

Even though they don’t like them, it doesn’t mean that the Ye family doesn’t value Ye Renxin and Ye Lingling.

"The Tiandou Empire is really a powerful feudal state, but a weak royal family. No wonder it can't maintain political order and social harmony." Ning Rongrong said with emotion, "I sensed the presence of a Soul Douluo in the royal family before."

"In addition to Ye Renxin and the Shui family of Tianshui City, the dean of Tianshui College..."

"Haha, there are three Soul Fighters in one kingdom."

The Tiandou Empire is roughly divided into 10 provinces, 5 of which are directly under the jurisdiction of Tiandou City of the Tiandou Empire. For example, heavy troops are stationed there to intimidate the Barak Kingdom, and to guard against the border city of the Xingluo Empire - Fanos Province.

The remaining five provinces were divided among four kingdoms and one duchy.

They are: the Kingdom of Barak, the Kingdom of Haagen-Dazs, the Kingdom of Silves, another kingdom whose name Ning Rongrong forgot, and a principality occupying the smallest province.

Among the several vassal states of the Tiandou Empire, the Kingdom of Barak ranks first in both military and economy, while the Kingdom of Haagen-Dazs ranks second and serves as a protective barrier for the Far North.

To be precise, it is Tianshui City in the far north, the Tianshui City guarded by the Shui family.

It is the first fortress city to prevent the entry of soul beasts from the Far North.

"President of Tianshui College?" Ning Rongrong's murmured words made Dugu Yan, who was still walking towards Tianshui City, show a look of surprise.

"Isn't Tianshui College in the Four Elements City?"

"It's like this..." Ning Rongrong explained to Dugu Yan.

Ning Rongrong explained as she walked and told Dugu Yan about the division of the empire and the kingdom.

"I see." Dugu Yan nodded thoughtfully, "Tianshui City is the fiefdom given to the Shui family by the Haagen-Dazs Kingdom.

"And the Four Elements City is a fiefdom that the Four Elements Academy obtained from the Empire to avoid some irrelevant political factors. It is used for teaching purposes."

To put it simply, one piece is the ancestral land where I go back to visit during the holidays, and the Four Elements City is where I work.

"To be honest, I still don't quite understand."

"Why is it called Four Elements City instead of Five Elements City?" Dugu Yan asked. There are five colleges located here, but it is called Five Elements College, but it is called Four Elements City.

What’s the difference between the Five and the Four Heavenly Kings?
"Thunder, Blazing Fire, Divine Wind, and Sky Water. These are the original structures of the four academies of the Four Elements City."

“Thunder Academy is affiliated with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan. In fact, it was established there because the Blue Lightning Tyrant Clan wanted to win over students from the three academies.

However, the backgrounds of the three major colleges involve the kingdoms and families behind them, so even Thunder College doesn’t dare to make an offer. At most, it can recruit some graduates.”

"And the Spirit Hall, seeing what the Thunder Academy did, asked the Elephant Armor Sect to establish the Elephant Armor Academy, which is why the Four Elements City became the Five Elements Academy."

"Uh... so complicated?" Dugu Yan asked in surprise.

Wow, it turns out there are so many twists and turns in it.

"Rongrong, do you know anything about the Shui family?" Compared to the children of these big families, she seemed to feel out of place, so Dugu Yan asked again.

"I don't know much." Ning Rongrong shook her head.

Some irrelevant little people. As the eldest daughter of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, how could she be so idle!
Instead of sending people to find out about these families, it would be better to explore the Far North to find out where the rare treasures are and let the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect plunder them back.

However, the environment in the Far North is too harsh and not suitable for long-term exploration, so we gave up.

In fact, according to Ning Rongrong's idea, if Dugu Yan didn't have a grandfather, he would still be guarding the medicine garden.

This is a necessary procedure of Ning Rongrong's plan. Maybe she doesn't even want to understand Dugu Bo, let alone Dugu Yan.

Ahem... these thoughts must never be known to Dugu Yan.

"Rongrong, are you thinking about something bad?" Dugu Yan looked at Ning Rongrong with a subtle look.

"Huh? That's impossible." Ning Rongrong smiled awkwardly, "I'm also familiar with Tianshui College and the Shui family. Rumor has it..."

"Well, it should be a rumor that the granddaughters of the dean of Tianshui College, Shui Bing'er and Shui Yue'er, can use the martial soul fusion technique. I am a little curious!"

"Hey! Soul fusion technique?" Dugu Yan widened his eyes.

Soul Fusion Skills are extremely rare! The lower your strength, the more terrifying the increase in Soul Fusion Skills will be.

According to what she saw using distraction control in the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect's library, the fusion technique of two thirty-level soul masters' martial arts souls can reach the power of the Soul King level.

"Yeah, it's quite interesting." Ning Rongrong said with a smile, "The little cat and the lustful tiger from Shrek Academy also have martial soul fusion skills."

"The Xingluo Royal Family... that's true." Dugu Yan recovered her composure after being surprised. If there was anyone with the most stable existence in Douluo Continent in terms of martial soul fusion skills, it would be the Xingluo Empire.

The Dai family and the Zhu family, the royal families of the Xingluo Empire, are the permanent residents of the martial soul fusion technique.

It would be strange if there was no such martial soul fusion technique in any era.

"Rongrong, ...how is Uncle Ning and the others' practice of the martial soul fusion technique going?"

"This one has some potential!"

The three of them have a good understanding of each other, but when it comes to actual combat, it depends on how smart they are.

In short, the stronger you are, the more difficult it is to complete the fusion of martial souls, especially the first time, the barriers become harder and harder.

"Yeah, that's right!" Dugu Yan sighed, thinking about what Ning Fengzhi and others had experienced in the Tiandou Empire. Although they seemed to have returned home safely, they were actually still facing many crises.

While the two were talking, they had already arrived at Tianshui City, a border city in the far north.
