Chapter 17: That kid named Shirou

Gu Rong who heard Ning Fenzhi's words started to understand why Ning Fenzhi and Chen Xin could trust an 8-year-old kid could raise the Seven Treasure Title Glazed Sect's martial soul, Chen Xin who was completely silent before immediately raised his voice again, "Old Bone"

Gu Rong who heard his name being called directly looked at Chen Xin, Chen Xin immediately said, "Another reason that made me and Fenzhi trusted this kid too because he also knew about the legend about my martial soul that existed within my Sect before I joined the Seven Treasure Title Glazed Sect."

"Ha?" Gu Rong was again shocked by Chen Xin's words, Gu Rong hurriedly said in disbelief, "Wait!... That kid knows the legend?"

Chen Xin nodded and said, "He knows it. While we were talking about the way that kid helped the Seven Treasure Title Glazed Sect to upgrade the Sect's martial soul to Nine Treasure Title Glazed, the kid briefly discussed the matter of my martial soul. There were two ways to upgrade the Seven Treasure Title Glazed Sect's martial soul to the Nine Treasure Title Glazed Pagoda. From one of the methods mentioned by the boy, one of those methods can also be used to increase my martial soul to the Nine Killing Swords"

"Wait!… That kid can also increase your martial soul?" Gu Rong asked in a very surprised tone.

Chen Xin nodded and said, "That kid said he could do it. as I said before, of the two ways that kid described to increase the Seven Treasure Title Glazed Sect's martial soul, one way could help everyone to improve their martial soul on the condition that that person's martial soul has not yet reached its maximum potential. Like my Seven Slayer Sword martial soul as well as Fenzhi Seven Treasure Title Glazed martial soul. The two martial souls belonging to the two of us have not yet reached their full potential. That kid says he can increase the potential of other people's martial souls."

Chen Xin paused for a moment and looked at Gu Rong and said, "Not only our martial soul, but yours as well there is a possibility that he could even improve it using the second method that the kid said. With the increasing potential of our martial souls, there is a possibility that we can also advance to a higher level than what we currently have."

Gu Rong who listened to Chen Xin's words was also not stupid, because he also knew that if it was their martial soul was enhanced, there was a possibility that their strength would not only stop here but rather would increase as their martial soul potential was stimulated. Gu Rong thinking about this became very excited, but a thought crossed his mind.

"From the two methods described by the child, are there any side effects after using them? And also what percentage of the results can be obtained?" Gu Rong asked as he looked towards Chen Xin and Ning Fenzhi.

Ning Fenzhi and Chen Xin looked at each other and smiled, Ning Fenzhi immediately said, "Bone Fist, from what the kid said. If we use the method, the result that can be obtained is 100% even without any side effects caused after the increase in the martial soul to the person who uses that method."

Hearing this answer from Ning Fenzhi, Gu Rong became very excited, he immediately looked at Ning Fenzhi and said, "Then, Fenzhi. If indeed you already know about it, why don't you invite that kid directly into our Seven Treasure Title Glazed Sect? With the abilities that kid has, we can at least leave the position of Sect Elder to him. There's no way anyone would refuse an offer from the richest sect in the world."

Hearing Gu Rong's last words, Ning Fenzhi and Chen Xin's faces instantly turned ugly. This was also seen by Gu Rong and he said, "Wait… Don't say…"

Chen Xin sighed as he looked at Gu Rong and said, "According to your thoughts, that kid refuses to join the Seven Treasure Title Glazed Sect even us. both of them have invited themselves into the Sect with the position of Sect Elder"

"What?" Gu Rong shouted in disbelief that someone could refuse to join them. Even the person who invited himself was the Sect Master and also the Sect Elder who was a Title Douluo with the given title was a Sect Elder. But the boy refused this?

"This…" This left Gu Rong at a loss for thinking about the boy.

Seeing Gu Rong's disbelieving face, Ning Fenzhi and Chen Xin also sighed in disbelief that someone who refused to join had even been promised a high position within the Sect.

Gu Rong looked back at Ning Fenzhi, "Fenzhi, what reason made that kid refuse to join the Sect? You can try giving him a huge gift or coaxing him into joining in all sorts of things. You know this is Fenzhi, this is an ability that can increase one's, martial soul. If this is leaked to the outside world, there will be a lot of power targeting that kid."

Gu Rong said in a serious tone because he understood. If Shirou's abilities were to be heard by outsiders, there would be a bloody storm on this Douluo continent as children fought over the child to join the power they had. If Shirou just joined one force, the power that Shirou combined would have a greatly increased combat power because of the ability that could increase the potential of their martial soul.

Ning Fenzhi nodded as he understood Gu Rong's words, Ning Fenzhi said, "I also understand Uncle Bone's thoughts. I also know that if that child could leak into the outside world, there would be a blood storm in the Douluo continent over fighting over that child. However, did Uncle Bones ever think, what was the reason for that kid to tell this ability to me and Uncle Sword? Though he may not have told us this to prevent it from happening."

Gu Rong frowned and tried to think about the reason why Shirou had told them this ability, Ning Fenzhi continued, "That kid told us this ability because of him. wants to ask us for protection directly and also needs our help when he is in need"

"Ha?" Gu Rong was taken aback by Shirou's reasoning, Gu Rong said again, "Fenzhi if that's what he wants, that kid can join our Sect for protection."

The previously silent Chen Xin immediately said, "That kid has other thoughts, Old Bone. The child himself at the time refused my invitation and Fenzhi also said the reason for the refusal."

Gu Rong turned his attention to Chen Xin, "Then what was the reason said?"

"The reason for that child is because he doesn't want to be deprived of all rights and also his desire to go on an adventure in this Douluo continent. He still wants to see what this world has to offer him. In addition, the boy also said that with him joining the Sect there are many responsibilities and obligations that he must fulfill towards the Sect he belongs to, the child does not want it. That's why he declined both of us' entry invitations." Chen Xin said calmly.

Ning Fenzhi nodded and continued Chen Xin's words, "The words Uncle Sword said were the words that the boy, Uncle Bones said. In addition, the knowledge and abilities possessed by that child are abilities and knowledge gained during his adventures, Uncle Sword and I did not force him to join because we believe that with the continuation of the boy's adventures, there will be many interesting things that the boy will show us. . We just need to maintain a good relationship with this kid until he completes the adventure he said to invite him to join our Sect"

"Wait!... Complete the adventure?" Gu Rong asked

Ning Fenzhi nodded and said, "That kid said that after he finished his adventure and had seen all that this world had to offer him, he would consider joining the Seven Treasure Title Glazed Sect. Therefore, for now, we just need to maintain a good relationship with him."

Gu Rong immediately understood Ning Fenzhi's words and tried to think. Gu Rong suddenly found something and looked at Ning Fenzhi and Chen Xin, "For now we just need to maintain a good relationship with that kid, right?"

Ning Fenzhi and Chen Xin were slightly surprised by Gu Rong's question, they both looked at each other and looked back at Gu Rong, and nodded.

Gu Rong smiled and said, "Actually I have a way to allow us to have a good relationship with him without having that kid join our Sect. At least he will join the Sect but not join in the sense that the child has to carry out the Sect's obligations and responsibilities."

Ning Fenzhi and Chen Xin were very surprised at Gu Rong's words, Ning Fenzhi hurriedly said, "Uncle Bones, do you know how? ?"

Ning Fenzhi and Chen Xin themselves were very excited to hear this because then they could have a good relationship and also have the highest potential to get Shirou to join them beyond any other power in the Douluo Continent.

Gu Rong nodded and said, "I do have it, child but. I also want to know. What is the name of the child who impressed the three of us with his talent, ability, and knowledge?"

Ning Fenzhi and Chen Xin looked at each other again and smiled, they looked back at Gu Rong and said, "That kid's name is Shirou"

(Note: I had previously revised chapter 13 on the matter Shirou said not to talk about him To the family and the outside world, I have revised the chapter and made Shirou just say not to tell outsiders about his identity and also he will be helping the Seven Treasure Title Glazed Sect. Besides that, I like Gu Rong's character which is a bit funny. I want to make them both interact with each other)
