Douluo : People are writing diaries in Douluo

"Your ambitions?" Ning Fengzhi asked, slightly intrigued. It was the first time he'd heard that Su Ming had ambitions beyond simply growing his strength. If it were just for self-improvement, joining Spirit Hall wouldn't have been necessary, nor would he need to refuse Spirit Hall's six Spirit Bones over 50,000 years old!

"Yes, my ambition is to improve the lives of the common people," Su Ming responded confidently. "But of course, all of this depends on my own strength remaining unaffected."

Su Ming's words stunned Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong. They now understood why Su Ming couldn't settle within the Heaven Dou Empire. Even the Star Luo Empire wouldn't satisfy his aspirations, let alone other sects. Only Spirit Hall, with its inclusivity toward commoners, could offer the support he needed.

"But why not join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan?" Ning Fengzhi pressed. "With your relationship with Rongrong, you could do whatever you wanted, as long as it benefits the clan."

Su Ming nodded. Ning Fengzhi was right; the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan had a reputation for kindness toward common Spirit Masters. But as a noble-centered sect, their efforts were limited, unlike Spirit Hall, which extended resources even to weaker Spirit Masters.

"Uncle Ning, if it were that simple, Spirit Hall wouldn't exist as it does today. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan's aid to commoners is targeted, while Spirit Hall aids everyone with awakened Spirit Power, regardless of their strength. Can you do the same?"

Ning Fengzhi fell silent, knowing he couldn't. Realistically, he preferred focusing resources on the clan's core disciples.

Ning Fengzhi sighed. "I see. But what about Rongrong?"

Su Ming replied without hesitation, "Simple. Uncle Ning, let the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan become a subsidiary of Spirit Hall."

At these words, Gu Rong's aura locked onto Su Ming, though it held no killing intent.

"Su Ming! I thought I misjudged you. Asking us to become part of Spirit Hall? You know that's impossible!"

"Grandpa Bone, please don't get so worked up," Su Ming replied calmly. "Can we at least talk it over? Besides, you haven't even asked what limitations there would be as an affiliate."

Then he turned to Ning Fengzhi. "Surely, Uncle Ning has already guessed Spirit Hall's ambitions?"

"I've considered it," Ning Fengzhi admitted. "Spirit Hall controls over seventy percent of the Spirit Master resources on the continent. The rest belong to the Upper Three Sects, the two empires, and various families. It's clear that Spirit Hall intends to establish its own nation and take over the empires."

Su Ming grinned. "Uncle Ning, you're as insightful as ever."

Ning Fengzhi continued, "So even if the Upper Three Sects stand divided, I would still try to unite with them in the face of Spirit Hall's ambitions. But Su Ming, have you thought about this—is this alliance practical? The Clear Sky Clan has been in seclusion, and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan only has one Title Douluo. Even united, do the Upper Three Sects stand a chance against Spirit Hall?"

"And please don't mention the empires," Su Ming added. "Their vast armies might be intimidating, but most soldiers don't even have a Spirit Power level above 30. Spirit Hall's ranged Spirit Master squads could decimate them from a distance."

"Let's get specific about Spirit Hall's strength. Uncle Ning, do you know how many Title Douluos there are in Spirit Hall?"

After a pause, Ning Fengzhi estimated, "I'd say around ten, though most are likely just at the initial Title Douluo level. The strongest should be Bibi Dong, as well as the likes of Demon Subduer Douluo, Qian Daoliu, and so on."

Su Ming suppressed a smile. "Uncle Ning, let me be blunt. Spirit Hall has over twenty Title Douluos, and at least seven of them are above level 95."

"What?!"

Ning Fengzhi's expression tightened. If Su Ming's claim was true, the empires wouldn't stand a chance. Even if a Title Douluo could tire, no rule said Spirit Hall couldn't fight a long battle.

"Uncle Ning," Su Ming said, "I have no reason to lie. Just Qian Daoliu, Spirit Hall's Grand Worshipper, is powerful enough to have few equals on the continent. Besides the elusive Tang Chen, there's no one left who can match him. The strongest Douluos left are Yu Yuanzhen of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan and Grandpa Sword."

Since Yu Yuanzhen's death was still unknown to Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong, Su Ming didn't mention it.

Ning Fengzhi was visibly shaken. If Su Ming was telling the truth, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan would be unwise to oppose Spirit Hall. Even with their stockpile of amulets from Su Ming, their resources wouldn't last indefinitely.

Seeing Ning Fengzhi's hesitation, Su Ming pressed on, "Uncle Ning, I'm telling you all this because I trust you. I'm sharing what I know of Spirit Hall's intentions, confident you'll make the best choice."

He concluded, "Also, Uncle Ning, is there really a reason the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan has to support the Heaven Dou Empire? Has the clan truly benefited from the empire? If that were the case, you wouldn't be so troubled over the lack of talented Spirit Masters."

And with that, Su Ming began the final push to sway him.
