Chapter 48 The Arrogant Yu Xiaogang, Who Gave You the Courage to Provoke a Peerless Douluo?
That being said, the other Shrek Academy students also yearned for the Collapse Academy, but their conditions weren't as good as Ning Rongrong's.
She possessed the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda spirit and was the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School; with the sect's full support, joining the Collapse Academy was practically a certainty.
However, the Shrek Academy students present were mostly 'newbies'.
Although they had twin spirits, there was Tang San, who had no one to teach him; Xiao Wu, the 100,000-year-old soul beast hiding her identity; Dai Mubai, the stray dog taken in from the Star Luo royal family; the mutated chicken taken in by Flander; and Oscar, who had been unearthed.
Although they possessed top-tier spirits, after the Golden Ranking appeared, everyone realized that top-tier spirits were everywhere in the world!
Among the Shrek Academy's little monsters, only Tang San and Ning Rongrong were lucky enough to be on the list because they inherited the spirits of the three upper sects; the others didn't even qualify!
If this were in the Collapse Academy, it would be like a roadside stall, full of monsters, directly monopolizing the prestige of the top ten!
Since there was no chance to join, of course they could only stay in Shrek Academy, and they even had to drag Ning Rongrong, who had the opportunity to join, into the mess, so that they could strengthen the team and stick together for warmth.
Ning Fengzhi could see through the thoughts of these little brats. The smile on his face faded a bit, and his tone was still calm, but with a hint of coldness:
"Oh? Shrek Academy, are you questioning the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's vision in choosing a path for my daughter? Or are you questioning... the authority of the Heavenly Ranking?"
He deliberately emphasized the words "Heavenly Ranking".
Yu Xiaogang seemed to have been stepped on, and became excited: "Heavenly Ranking? That's just a showy thing! I, Yu Xiaogang, have studied martial souls for decades, and my theory is the right path! Sect Master Ning, don't mislead yourself, and mislead Rongrong!"
"Insolence!" Sword Douluo Chen Xin, who had been silent all along, suddenly shouted.
"Gangzi, watch out!" Flander's expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly used his martial soul and soul power to try to help block the attack.
"Like a mantis trying to stop a chariot!"
Sword Douluo sneered.
Considering that the other party had taught Ning Rongrong's clone, he didn't unleash his soul power or overwhelm her with his aura; he merely swept his gaze across her with a cold, sword-like gaze.
"Pfft—"
"Ugh!"
Flander and Yu Xiaogang were struck as if by a heavy blow, both letting out muffled groans. Their faces instantly turned pale, and they staggered back several steps. A trace of blood even spilled from the corner of Flander's mouth.
Yu Xiaogang, whose soul power was even weaker, was directly shaken off the ground by the invisible sword intent, flying backward and landing squarely on his face, bleeding from his head and looking utterly disheveled.
"Teacher!"
Tang San exclaimed, rushing forward to help Yu Xiaogang up.
"I'm fine, I won't die."
Yu Xiaogang gritted his teeth in pain.
"Teacher, it's all my fault for being useless..."
Tang San looked up at Sword Douluo with eyes full of anger and fear.
His fists clenched so tightly his nails almost dug into his flesh, but he knew the difference in strength between them was like an insurmountable chasm, and could only suppress his anger deep inside.
However, a thought uncontrollably arose in the depths of his heart:
'Is this the power of a Peerless Douluo? If only I could enter the Collapse Academy…'
But he immediately suppressed this thought, his face showing only concern for his teacher and unspoken anger towards the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Chen Xin stood with his hands behind his back. A level 29 Great Soul Master had clashed with a Peerless Douluo; sparing his life was already more than enough!
He spoke calmly: 'How dare you presume to know the Sect Master's actions? If you say another word, don't blame me for being merciless with my sword.'
Ning Fengzhi didn't even glance at the disheveled Shrek Academy members, turning to Ning Rongrong and saying gently, "Rongrong, let's go."
Ning Rongrong nodded, taking one last look at her former classmates, especially the pale-faced Oscar.
Finally, she turned and, following her father and two grandfathers, left this place that had become so cramped.
Honkai Academy, Dean's Office.
It was less of an office and more of an elegant, quiet room, with mist swirling outside and a faint scent of sandalwood filling the air.
Zhang Yi was leisurely brewing tea, seemingly oblivious to the outside world's turmoil.
A day later, Ning Fengzhi, accompanied by Ning Rongrong and led by Rita, entered, facing the unfathomable young dean.
At this moment, Ning Fengzhi abandoned all the arrogance of a sect leader, adopting an extremely humble posture.
"Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, along with my daughter Rongrong, pays respects to Dean Zhang Yi."
Zhang Yi raised his eyes, gesturing for them to sit down, and had Rita pour Ning Fengzhi a cup of tea. "Sect Leader Ning, are you here regarding your daughter's enrollment?"
"Indeed."
Ning Fengzhi took the tea but didn't drink it, his attitude sincere. "My daughter is mischievous, but her talent is considerable.
She aspires to attend your esteemed academy and hopes the Dean can grant her a chance." Zhang Yi smiled, his gaze falling on the somewhat nervous Ning Rongrong, and nodded. "Alright, but Sect Leader Ning, many people will be coming to the academy soon. The assessment I've set is standardized; whether she passes depends entirely on her own abilities."
His tone was calm, showing no special treatment despite the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's powerful foundation.
Ning Fengzhi was determined; as long as there was a chance, that was enough!
He stepped forward, showcasing the sect's resources: "Dean, your fairness is admirable!"
"To demonstrate our sincerity, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is willing to sponsor the academy's construction. The first batch of resources is already on its way, and we will provide all necessary supplies to the academy every year thereafter!"
Zhang Yi's lips curled into a half-smile. He looked at Ning Rongrong, his tone playful:
"Strength assessment is fundamental, but… Ning Rongrong, the inheritor of the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, possesses a unique martial soul. This talent will indeed significantly increase her chances of selection."
Ning Fengzhi's eyes lit up! Clearly, he had made the right bet!
Although this young dean was upright and incorruptible, for the future development of the Collapsed Academy, he naturally needed more partners, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was a good choice!
He suppressed his elation and immediately gave Ning Rongrong a wink.
Ning Rongrong understood immediately and stepped forward, respectfully bowing deeply and presenting a delicate storage soul tool bracelet with both hands. Her voice was clear and firm:
"Student Ning Rongrong admires the Dean's profound knowledge and humbly requests that the Dean accept me as his disciple. This is a small token of my appreciation; please accept it!"
Zhang Yi looked at the storage bracelet, then at the expectant Ning Fengzhi and the nervous Ning Rongrong, before finally relenting.
He took the bracelet, casually examined it, and confirmed that it was a level six soul tool.
In the current environment of Douluo Continent, finding a level six soul tool as a gift for apprenticeship was truly difficult.
Zhang Yi nodded and said, "Let's set aside the matter of apprenticeship for now. Our Honkai Academy teaches without discrimination, focusing on fate and character."
"How about this, even if you don't pass the assessment completely, there will still be a place for you in the newly established 'Soul Tool Research and Application Branch' of the academy. What do you say?"
