Chapter 114 Defeating the Elite Disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School
The mountain gate of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was tinged with a golden-red hue under the setting sun.
As soon as Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo stepped into the sect, their brows furrowed simultaneously.
At this time of day, the training ground would normally be filled with shouts and the disciples diligently practicing.
But today, the air is filled with a strong smell of medicinal oil and low wails.
"What's going on?" Ning Fengzhi strode towards the training ground.
The usually arrogant elite disciples were now lying haphazardly on the ground.
Some were clutching their chests and groaning, while others were helping each other apply liniment to their bodies. The worst off was the level 52 chief Soul King, who was embedded in a crack in the wall in the distance, and several support-type Soul Masters were struggling to pry him out.
"Sect Master! Elder Jian!"
Upon seeing Ning Fengzhi return, one of the disciples, as if seeing a savior, crawled over with snot and tears streaming down his face to complain:
"You must stand up for us! That new kid is too arrogant! We went to spar with him out of kindness, and he actually attacked us! He injured all our fellow disciples!"
"Oh?" Ning Fengzhi's gaze sharpened as he looked at Bone Douluo Gu Rong, who was sitting leisurely on the high platform, sipping tea. "Uncle Gu, this is..."
Bone Douluo Gu Rong put down his teacup, and a rare, gloating smile appeared on his sinister old face:
"Fengzhi, don't listen to these brats' nonsense."
"What kind of friendly sparring? It's just that you brought a handsome young man back yesterday and even let him stay in the top-class room. The disciples guessed that you had found a husband for Rongrong, and those brats got jealous and went to provoke you."
"At first, that kid was too lazy to pay attention to these brats, but when they saw that the other side was ignoring them, they started arguing about who could be Rongrong's future man."
"For some reason, that kid came out and beat them all up."
Sword Douluo Chen Xin became interested and his gaze swept over the wounded people scattered on the ground.
"Although these kids are useless, they still have members ranging from Soul Master to Soul King. How could they have suffered such a miserable defeat?"
"Is it a head-to-head elimination tournament?"
Bone Douluo extended a withered finger, pointing to the number one room in the Heavenly Rank on the mountain, his tone carrying a hint of astonishment that even he found unbelievable:
"Just that kid alone."
"They were defeated by all the elite disciples."
"And he left behind the words, 'None of you are any good.'"
quiet.
Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo exchanged a glance, and the scene they had witnessed at Shrek Academy not long ago flashed through their minds.
Seven geniuses worked themselves to the bone, sweating profusely, to finally produce that one hammer blow.
Here, one person took down a whole group, including the Soul King.
Ning Fengzhi shook his head with a wry smile, feeling even more disdain for Shrek Academy's so-called "divine skills."
"That's... the difference."
"Good! Good! Good!"
Sword Douluo Chen Xin suddenly uttered three "good"s in succession, his eyes shining brighter and brighter. The sword intent that had been somewhat stifled by Shrek Academy's "clumsy performance" finally found an outlet.
"This is true genius! This is the kind of battle I've been waiting for!"
Chen Xin suddenly took a step forward. He originally wanted to take the other party as a disciple, but only to test what kind of person he was.
But now I understand, with such strength, why bother with being an undercover agent?
Which faction would be so foolish as to send its most talented disciple to another faction as a spy?
They had been lying in wait for years, all for the purpose of seizing power.
With this talent, if you train hard, you would have been invincible long ago.
There couldn't possibly be such a stupid force.
Therefore, it is clear that the other party is definitely not an undercover agent.
He wanted this disciple.
I was just about to fly up the mountain on my sword.
"Wait a minute."
Just as Chen Xin was about to leave, Ning Fengzhi hurriedly spoke, his voice not loud, but with a meaningful smile.
He raised his hand and gently pressed down on Chen Xin's restless shoulder.
"Don't rush."
Chen Xin abruptly stopped, his sword energy feeling stifled, and turned back to glare at her, saying:
"How can we not be anxious about such a promising talent?"
Ning Fengzhi ignored Chen Xin's complaints. Instead, he turned around, looked at the elite disciples still groaning on the ground, and focused his gaze on the chief Soul King who had been knocked into the wall. He asked gently:
"What exactly did you say when you went to provoke us? Repeat it word for word."
The Soul King, who had just been pulled out, covered his swollen face and recalled in a trembling voice:
"I didn't say anything... I just said he's a gigolo who got his position through connections and doesn't deserve to stay in the top-tier room. I also said... I also said that our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's future son-in-law has to be a strong person like us who knows his background well. Only we are qualified to protect Miss Rongrong. What is he, some wild outsider, worth...?"
"oh--"
Ning Fengzhi drew out the last syllable, his smile instantly spreading across his lips, his eyes gleaming with the shrewdness of an old fox.
"I see."
Ning Fengzhi gently tapped his folding fan, looked at Bone Douluo, and said with a playful tone:
"Uncle Gu, you noticed it too, didn't you? Last night, when Uncle Chenxin went to test him, this kid preferred to have a Title Douluo deliver his food rather than lift a finger. It's obvious he's afraid of trouble."
Bone Douluo was taken aback, then his gloomy eyes lit up:
"That's right. But when these brats started provoking him, he initially ignored them. But when Rongrong was mentioned, he suddenly became violent, contrary to his usual behavior."
"Ha ha ha ha!"
Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but chuckle softly, his laughter filled with the mischievousness and smugness of a father discovering his daughter's secret.
"Interesting, really interesting."
Ning Fengzhi looked up at the No. 1 room in the Heavenly Palace on the mountain.
"Normally lazy, but as soon as he hears someone arguing with Rongrong, he immediately gets restless and wants to beat them down and say, 'They're not that great.'"
What does this mean?
Although Chen Xin was a blockhead when it came to matters of the heart, he finally realized what was happening, and his eyes widened like saucers.
"This kid... knows Rongrong?"
"pretty close."
Ning Fengzhi put away his folding fan, in a great mood.
"It seems we not only struck gold this time, but we might have actually brought back an 'acquaintance' for Rongrong."
"No wonder Rongrong didn't object to arranged marriages within the sect before, but this time she refused to come back from Shrek Academy no matter what, saying she didn't want to go on blind dates. I'm afraid she already has someone in her heart, and that person... is far away, yet right in front of her."
The murderous aura on Chen Xin's body completely disappeared, replaced by a complex feeling of watching one's own pig devour the cabbage.
"Maybe you're just overthinking it?"
Ning Fengzhi's eyes darted around, and his smile turned somewhat cunning:
"I guess that, given their personalities, it must have been Rongrong who started the trouble, and the other person didn't go along with her, which led to the conflict between them."
"Given Rongrong's mischievous nature, she'll definitely keep causing trouble for him, but he just ignores her, and their relationship will only deepen."
"If this kid ever does something that really touches Rongrong's heart, the bond between the children will quickly grow stronger."
"Rongrong is acting so strangely now, they must have had another fight later."
"Kids are just not frank, I have to come up with a plan."
Ning Fengzhi pondered for a while and the more he thought about it, the clearer it became. Although he had not visited Rongrong at Shrek Academy, he had been hearing reports from his subordinates about the general situation.
They knew that two students had actually left Shrek Academy.
One of them was named Ye Liuyun.
