Chapter 44: My Father, Ning Fengzhi

Wu Qi and his companion were not at the Great Spirit Arena, and Flender was deeply worried about this.

He was very concerned that there was truly someone in the city hunting down geniuses.

Moreover, if Wu Qi were his disciple, his future achievements would certainly be limitless.

Rumor has it that the most outstanding graduate of Shrek Academy is now an Elder of the Spirit Hall.

This matter is pure nonsense.

But if he were to take Wu Qi as a disciple, in a few decades, this rumor might not necessarily be false.

For the whole night, Flender appeared dazed and listless.

Early the next morning, he gathered all the teachers and students on the playground, looking exhausted, to begin training.

Just like the original schedule, Oscar successfully broke through to level thirty after his seclusion last night.

Flender did not know if there was someone in the city hunting geniuses, so letting the Shrek Six Monsters go out to hunt for spirits would, to a great extent, allow them to avoid the pursuit.

Meanwhile, he would take this opportunity to mobilize the teachers to investigate the situation in the city.

……

In the Star Dou Great Forest.

Seeing that they were getting closer and closer to the location marked on the route map, trouble followed.

The three of them first accidentally entered the territory of a group of Rolling Mouse; Rolling Mouse are a type of herbivorous Soul Beast, and their own aggression is not strong.

The three of them were chased for over ten miles before they finally shook off the pursuit.

But before they could even catch their breath, movement came from the surroundings again.

Wu Qi made a gesture for silence, pulling Qiangu Changkong and Ning Rongrong to hide behind a tree trunk.

Before long, an old person and a young person passed through the bushes and arrived at the spot where they had previously been.

"Grandma, I don't want to leave you, and I don't want to go to the Beast Academy even more."

The young girl acted like a spoiled child toward the old woman beside her.

The old woman gently stroked her forehead and said in a kind tone, "Yiran, an Advanced Spirit Master Academy is a stage one must experience in life."

"Don't forget, the Spirit Master Tournament in over two years. At that time, Grandma hopes you can find a desirable husband."

Wu Qi, hiding behind the tree trunk, listened to the conversation between the grandmother and granddaughter and immediately confirmed the other party's identity.

They had only arrived at the Star Dou Great Forest two days earlier than Shrek Academy; he hadn't expected to run into the Gaishi Longshe couple.

Chao Tianxiang was a Soul Emperor powerhouse; because her attention was drawn by Meng Yiran, she hadn't noticed anyone around at first.

But don't forget, her martial soul is related to snakes.

A gust of wind blew by, and she sensed the presence of people, immediately looking around with vigilance.

"You few, since you've come, why hide and skulk? I will give you three breaths of time; if you don't come out, don't blame me for being impolite."

A flash of panic crossed Meng Yiran's eyes as she quickly leaned toward Chao Tianxiang and assumed a fighting stance.

Seeing that they had been exposed, Wu Qi and the other two slowly walked out.

"Don't misunderstand, we are just passing by," Qiangu Changkong said with a forced smile.

Could Chao Tianxiang not know whether there was malice or not?

If they had launched a sneak attack from the position where the three were just now, Meng Yiran would certainly have died without a doubt.

Chao Tianxiang sneered in her heart while simultaneously challenging them, "Since you are just passing by, why not leave openly? Why hide in the shadows?"

Ning Rongrong put her hands on her hips and retorted, "Hey, hey, hey, what do you mean by that? We were just passing by; did we get in your way?"

Seeing that they looked young, and with Chao Tianxiang guarding nearby, Meng Yiran stepped forward and sneered, "Little sister, this is the Star Dou Great Forest. Even if we killed you, who would know?"

Wu Qi gave Qiangu Changkong a look, and the latter immediately understood, saying with a chuckle, "This senior, may we step aside to speak?"

He had the Pope Token in his hand, which was the highest-level badge of the Spirit Hall, with a status equivalent to an Elder of the Spirit Hall.

Anyone who saw this badge would give some face; he believed Chao Tianxiang would be no exception.

However, Chao Tianxiang had her own concerns.

She could sense that Wu Qi's strength was not weak; otherwise, he wouldn't have ventured so deep into this location.

If she were held back by Qiangu Changkong and the other party took the opportunity to take down Meng Yiran, that would be a big problem.

Seeing that the other party remained unmoved, Wu Qi patted Qiangu Changkong's shoulder and stepped past him, "Senior Snake Granny, we are all sensible people; there is no need to play dumb."

"If we had made a move just now, your granddaughter would have been dead long ago."

"Since we can be at peace, why make things unpleasant? Let's part ways here, how about that?"

Chao Tianxiang's eyebrows twitched.

Not many of the new generation of Spirit Masters know the reputation of the Gaishi Longshe couple; if the other party could know her reputation, they likely had some background.

After a pause, she decided to test them, "Three little friends, what should I call you?"

……

The moment Wu Qi stood out, Meng Yiran had already noticed his appearance.

That noble and elegant temperament deeply attracted her.

"Grandma, why waste words with them?" As she spoke, she crooked her finger at Wu Qi, "Either you compete with me; if you win, you can all leave."

"Or you stay, and the others leave!"

"What do you want to do!" Noticing her gaze, Ning Rongrong blocked the way in front of Wu Qi and said angrily, "The Gaishi Longshe Family has such great prestige, but I don't know how many moves you can withstand under Grandpa Sword!"

In her anxiety, she had no choice but to bring up the name of Sword Douluo.

"Sword?" Chao Tianxiang frowned.

There are many powerhouses with sword-type martial souls on the continent, but Ning Rongrong was full of confidence when she spoke, so this powerhouse could only be Sword Douluo.

The Martial Soul Fusion Skill of the Gaishi Longshe couple has power comparable to a Title Douluo.

These words could, at most, scare powerhouses below the level of Title Douluo.

Comparable to a Title Douluo, but after all, not a true Title Douluo.

Facing a powerful existence like Chen Xin, their fate could be imagined.

Meng Yiran did not seem to realize this problem, teasingly laughing: "Little sister, if you were to die, that grandfather of yours..."

Chao Tianxiang hurriedly interrupted, "Yiran, shut your mouth!"

Immediately after, she looked toward Ning Rongrong, "Are you all from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"

At the same time, Wu Qi leaned in beside Ning Rongrong and whispered a few words.

The Dragon Snake couple were indecisive, and a force of the Dragon Snake Family's size was merely a target to be annexed or suppressed on the continent.

Using the reputation of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to make them retreat in the face of difficulties was the best strategy.

But the identity of an ordinary Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect disciple might not make the other party retreat; Ning Rongrong had to reveal her identity.

If Chao Tianxiang remained unmoved, hehe, the Golden Eagle Spirit Douluo would teach her a lesson.

At that time, to avoid exposure, he would have no choice but to knock Ning Rongrong unconscious.

Ning Rongrong put her left hand on her waist, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul appeared in her right hand.

Puffing out her chest, she said with full confidence: "My father is Ning Fengzhi! If the Dragon Snake Family doesn't want the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect to come knocking, then get out of this young lady's way!"

Even a child who had just stepped into Spirit Master cultivation had heard of Ning Fengzhi's reputation, let alone Chao Tianxiang.

"Eldest Miss Ning, this old woman pays her respects."

Chao Tianxiang's attitude shifted, and she bowed slightly toward her.

Meng Yiran, meanwhile, covered her mouth in disbelief.

Just now, if she had finished her sentence and incurred the grudge of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, her entire family would be finished.

"Senior Snake Matriarch, may we pass?" Qiangu Changkong asked with a smile.

The eldest miss of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect appearing in the Soul Beast Forest meant there were inevitably experts accompanying her.

Chao Tianxiang felt secretly relieved; luckily, it had only been a verbal conflict just now, for if they had truly fought, they would certainly have been the ones to die.

"Three little friends, please go ahead."

"Eldest Miss Ning, please convey my greetings to the Ning Sect Master on my behalf."
