Chapter 47 The Impact of the Soul Beast Ranking:
Ning Rongrong Decides to Drop Out of School and Go to. Another Distant and Peaceful Sea.
A beautiful sea princess with a human torso and fish tail, her voice captivating, led her people to gaze at the sky, their eyes filled with hope:
"Great Sea God, merciful Heavenly Dao, please bless my sea soul beast race. If my race is fortunate enough to be listed, we will purify the ocean with our songs and ensure lasting peace."
After the Heavenly Dao announced the ranking of the [Potential Soul Beast Ranking], all the powerful soul beasts on the Douluo Continent, whether they were overlords of the forest, queens of the ice plains, or giants of the ocean, were now filled with burning ambition and anticipation!
They were full of confidence in their bloodline, cultivation, and special abilities, believing that they would surely occupy a dazzling position on the upcoming Soul Beast Ranking.
However, they did not know that the Heavenly Dao's judgment criteria were far more fair and stringent than they imagined.
When those ferocious beasts who considered themselves overlords discovered that their rankings were far below expectations, and even those like the Three-Headed Crimson Demon Hound, ranked among the top ten ferocious beasts, might not even make it into the top ten, the enormous gap and unbelievable shock would be clearly displayed to all humans and soul beasts through the celestial screen, bringing an unprecedented contrast and drama!
Moreover, this [Potential Soul Beast Ranking] is different from the last one; there are only ten reward slots on the Soul Beast Potential Ranking!
The celestial screen's announcement about the [Soul Beast Potential Ranking] was like igniting a fuse, turning the desire of many forces on the Douluo Continent to join and ally with the Collapse Academy into frenzied action!
In an instant, the roads leading to the valley where the Collapse Academy was located were bustling with traffic.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School reacted the fastest and adopted the most humble posture.
Ning Fengzhi almost summoned all the core elders overnight, overruling objections and making a decision that shocked the sect.
"Uncle Jian, Uncle Gu, and all the elders," Ning Fengzhi's voice carried an unprecedented resolve, "Times have changed! Clinging to past glory will only lead to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's elimination in future upheavals. Having Rongrong join the Honkai Academy is our best opportunity to break through the status quo!"
He swept his gaze across the crowd and said in a deep voice, "Furthermore, my mind is made up. Besides having Rongrong join the Honkai Academy, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will offer the entire sect as a 'pledge of allegiance,' voluntarily becoming subservient to the Honkai Academy!"
"We don't want any empty titles, we only ask for more core disciple admission slots, and we will dedicate all the wealth and resources accumulated over hundreds of years to fully sponsor the academy's construction, just to secure a seat on the Honkai Academy's future board of directors!"
Chen Xin and Gu Rong exchanged a glance, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes, which quickly turned into determination.
They knew that Ning Fengzhi was gambling everything for the future of his sect!
"Fengzhi, we support you!" The two sect-protecting Douluos spoke almost in unison.
The following day, Ning Fengzhi, the sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, personally led a "vassal document" stamped with the sect's seal, along with dozens of carriages laden with rare metals, jewels, jade artifacts, precious herbs, and soul tool blueprints, to Sunset Forest.
His humble demeanor and unwavering determination left all the forces along the way speechless!
During this time, an interesting little incident occurred.
Ning Fengzhi, accompanied by Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, personally went to Shrek Academy to help Ning Rongrong withdraw from the school!
Shrek Academy, on the playground.
Ning Fengzhi, dressed in white, was gentle and refined, yet possessed an undeniable aura of authority.
Beside him, on either side, stood two elderly men, both Title Douluos!
On the left stood Sword Douluo Chen Xin, his posture as upright as a pine tree. Though he emitted no soul power fluctuations, his mere presence was like a peerless sword about to be drawn, sharpening the very air in the space.
On the right stood Bone Douluo Gu Rong, his body withered, his eyes deep and unfathomable, seemingly capable of swallowing light.
Flander pushed up his signature shrewd businessman glasses, forcing a weak smile, and stepped forward, bowing respectfully,
"Sect Master Ning, your presence is an honor. I am deeply sorry for not welcoming you sooner. May I ask what brings you here today?"
His gaze swept over Ning Rongrong behind Ning Fengzhi, his understanding already clear, yet a sliver of hope remained.
Yu Xiaogang stood beside Flander, his brows furrowed, his face grim.
Dai Mubai, Oscar, Ma Hongjun, Tang San, Xiao Wu, and other students also gathered nearby, their expressions varied.
Ning Fengzhi smiled slightly, his tone calm yet carrying an unquestionable air:
"Dean Flander, I've come today for my daughter, Rongrong. Thank you for your guidance these past few days, but I must now make other plans for her future, and have come to process her withdrawal from the academy."
"What? Withdrawal?!"
Flander's expression changed, his voice rising several decibels.
The academy's finances were already tight, and the father of this little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had paid an enormous tuition fee!
Flander might dare to refuse tuition fees to ordinary Soul Masters, but before him stood Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo, two Title Douluo powerhouses. Did he dare utter a single word of dissent?
Just as Flander remained silent, Yu Xiaogang suddenly stepped forward and said in a deep voice, "Sect Master Ning, isn't this too hasty? Rongrong has made significant progress at Shrek Academy, and even her Martial Soul has evolved into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda. My theory will definitely help her become the strongest Soul Master on the continent! Leaving now would be a waste of all our previous efforts!"
He still held stubborn confidence in his method of helping Ning Rongrong train, as well as his theory of the "Ten Core Competencies of Martial Souls," and even wanted to attribute some of the credit for the evolution of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda to himself!
Ning Fengzhi frowned slightly. Who gave this level 29 Great Soul Master the courage to speak to him like that?
If Ning Fengzhi weren't a refined and easy-going person, a powerful Soul Master with a strange and irritable temper would have already knocked Yu Xiaogang out of his sight to avoid getting in his way.
Sensing Ning Fengzhi's alarm, Sword Douluo Chen Xin lowered his eyelids slightly, ready to strike at any moment.
Ning Rongrong stepped forward at this moment. Looking at her former teachers and classmates, she answered firmly,
"My father's decision is my decision. Dean Flander, Master, thank you for your kindness. But I want to pursue greater power, and Shrek... can't give me what I want."
Her gaze swept over Dai Mubai and the others, finally pausing slightly at Oscar's disappointed eyes, but not lingering for a moment.
"Rongrong! Don't be impulsive!"
Oscar couldn't help but shout, "Although Shrek's conditions aren't good right now, we have Master's theories, Dean Flander, and us good partners who can encourage and support you!"
"Stay, let's get stronger together, okay?"
Dai Mubai also snorted coldly, "That's right, that Honkai Academy is just relying on its empty reputation on the Heavenly Ranking. Who knows what's inside? Rongrong, don't be fooled by appearances!"
Ma Hongjun muttered softly from the side, "That's right, going to an unfamiliar academy is nothing compared to the deep bonds we share at Shrek..."
