Chapter 85: Ning Fengzhi Stops Acting

Tiandou Huangjia Xueyuan.

Wu Qi did not know he had been targeted by Qin Ming.

With Feng Xiaotian and the other two having arrived one after another, Imperial Fighting Team Two already had six members.

Early this morning, the Three Education Committees came to Sun Buyu's classroom and asked after the five of them with concern.

(Ning Rongrong was still out hunting for a soul ring and had not yet returned.)

"Three students, have you adapted to the new environment?"

That could not be more adapted.

The academy was full of spoiled rich kids, and their family backgrounds were substantial, so there was no need for the academy's cultivation resources at all.

In the past, at their respective academies, even as team members, the cultivation resources they could obtain were only a fixed quota.

Coming to Tiandou Huangjia Xueyuan, it was completely open for use, to be used as much as they wanted.

Feng Xiaotian was the oldest and acted steadily, "Many thanks for the concern of the Three Education Committees. We are doing very well. We believe that under the wise leadership of the Three Education Committees, we will definitely be able to shine brilliantly in the Spirit Master Tournament and restore the glory of the empire."

After hearing this, Meng Shenji was overjoyed, "Good, good, good. You are all good children. Later, this old man will apply to His Majesty to increase your treatment and allocation of cultivation resources."

"If there are any other needs, they can all be discussed."

With the improvement in the strength of Wu Qi and Qiangu Changkong, the current strength of Imperial Fighting Team Two was no worse than that of Team One.

If cultivated well, in the next Spirit Master Tournament, Huangdou Academy would possess two strong teams.

By then, if the two teams met in the finals, it would not be a bad story.

Huo Wu had a straightforward temperament and immediately stated, "Three Education Committees, our current training ground is too narrow and we cannot fully display our skills. Could we change to a larger venue?"

When they arrived yesterday, Wu Qi had said that the training goal for the current stage was to hone the coordination between wind and fire.

The existing venue was indeed too small, and using too much force could very likely destroy the nearby buildings.

Meng Shenji had no objections and immediately stated, "Fine, the Education Committee will come forward to coordinate later."

"Alright, I won't disturb your class."

After saying this, the Three Education Committees left with satisfaction.

In the classroom, Sun Buyu could not help but remind them: "Currently, we are still one person short of forming a complete team. Fill in the last piece of the puzzle as soon as possible, so I can arrange team training for you later."

Feng Xiaotian could not help but suggest: "Why not borrow a student from Shenfeng Academy Academy Academy?"

Wu Qi shook his head, "No need for that."

For the last team member, he had already had Qiangu Changkong write a letter back to Wuhun Cheng.

Back when they were at the Primary Soul Master Academy branch, they had contact with a genius from the Wuhun Hall Advanced Soul Master Academy.

If Wu Qi had not absorbed the Immortal Herb, the soul power levels of both sides would be equivalent, but the other party was four years older than them.

Counting the days, the letter would still take some time to reach the Spirit Hall Academy.

This person came from a humble background, and his performance in the academy was mediocre; almost no one had a deep impression of him.

Upon arriving at Tiandou Huangjia Xueyuan, let Xue Qinghe fabricate an identity for him at will, and no one would suspect his background.

……

At dusk.

For tonight's Spirit Fighting, Wu Qi arranged: "The first battle of team Spirit Fighting is crucial for a team. Before the team is fully formed, there is no need to participate in team Spirit Fighting for the time being."

"Pair up, but this time, you cannot choose teammates you are familiar with."

"Then I will be with Xiao Wu (Huo Wu)," Feng Xiaotian said.

His relationship with Huo Wu was good, but the degree of coordination between the two was average; they were indeed objects for honing coordination.

Huo Wushuang smiled faintly and chose Qiangu Changkong.

Both were High-level Spirit Venerables, so they would not be at a disadvantage in two-on-two Spirit Fighting.

If he were with Wu Qi, he felt that he would only need to watch the battle and it would not serve any purpose for training.

Ning Rongrong had not returned, so Wu Qi had no partner for the time being.

On the way to the Spirit Arena, disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect blocked their path.

"Young Master Wu, the Sect Master invites you."

"The Eldest Miss will be here soon. I wonder if the others are willing to wait here?"

Feng Xiaotian said with a smile: "Then let's wait a while. Spirit Fighting is not urgent for the moment. Brother Wu, go and return quickly."

He was the oldest and, under Wu Qi's strong recommendation, was already the team's vice-captain.

……

A luxury restaurant in the city.

Ning Fengzhi had been waiting here for a long time.

Led by a waiter, Wu Qi entered the private room and bowed to the two, "Greetings, Uncle Ning, Your Excellency Sword Douluo."

Ning Fengzhi made a gesture of invitation and smiled faintly, "Xiao Wu, Rongrong told me that when you participate in Spirit Fighting, you go to the Great Spirit Arena to order food."

"Calling you here at this hour, besides wanting to treat you to a meal, Uncle also wants to thank you properly."

As he spoke, a black Gold Soul Coin card was pushed in front of Wu Qi.

Looking at the amount on it, Wu Qi raised an eyebrow, and could not help but feel that Ning Fengzhi was wealthy and imposing.

Last time, he could use "friendship" to brush it off, but this time it definitely would not work.

Offering favors without a reason—either a traitor or a thief!

"Uncle Ning, isn't this too much? It has already far exceeded the value of the Immortal Herb."

Ning Fengzhi shook his head, "Rongrong's Martial Soul Evolution is of extraordinary significance to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. To be precise, your help is a huge favor. Uncle does not know how to repay it. Take these five million Gold Soul Coins to spend first; if it's not enough, you can just tell Uncle."

Wu Qi was not without a concept of money.

In the original work, one Gold Soul Coin was enough for a family of three to spend for several months; this statement was biased.

If one were in the countryside and farming their own land, that would indeed be the case.

Living in a small or medium-sized city, one Gold Soul Coin is only enough for about ten days of expenses.

Even in Tiandou City, if one does not pursue luxury goods, one Gold Soul Coin is enough for ten days of living expenses.

Five million Gold Soul Coins are enough to equip a fully outfitted army, with the remaining money enough to pay the army's wages for several years.

It can be said that with this money, there is no need to worry about initial startup capital.

Unable to refuse such kindness, Wu Qi finally accepted the Gold Soul Card.

Ning Fengzhi was not one to stand on ceremony and gestured, "As uncle and nephew, we might as well eat while we talk; Uncle Sword, you sit down too."

While Wu Qi was still pondering the other party's objective, he did not expect Ning Fengzhi to skip the beating around the bush entirely.

"To tell you the truth, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect has reached a bottleneck in its development. There is even intense friction regarding some business with the Spirit Hall. Little Wu, I wonder if you could help your uncle make a connection with the Spirit Hall?"

Not even pretending anymore?

After a brief moment of surprise, it did not seem difficult for Wu Qi to guess the reason behind this.

The Wind, Water, and Fire families need a backer, so why wouldn't the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect need one too?

He did not know if Ning Fengzhi had let Ning Rongrong intentionally leak the news, but it was an indisputable fact that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect could not form an alliance with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Family.

Perhaps Ning Fengzhi was truly "at his wit's end," and that was why he was taking such a risky move.

Chen Xin had his senses fully open, observing Wu Qi's subtle movements at every moment.

Wu Qi ate his meal unhurriedly and feigned innocence, "What? Uncle Ning, did I hear you correctly?"

Ning Fengzhi smiled and did not dwell on it further.

The message had been delivered; if Wu Qi were truly a person of the Spirit Hall, he would inevitably take action next.

For him, it was enough to wait for the higher-ups of the Spirit Hall to come knocking on his door.
