Chapter 49 The bustling Collapse Academy, everyone's here!
Regardless of the assessment results, Ning Rongrong can join the newly established Soul Tool Branch?
Ning Fengzhi was incredibly excited; his smile instantly blossomed like a chrysanthemum, completely unable to contain it.
Zhang Yi's guaranteed admission perfectly met the needs of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's disciples are all support-type Soul Masters, desperately needing Soul Tools to protect them.
Ning Fengzhi excitedly clasped his hands repeatedly, "Thank you so much, Dean! I am deeply grateful!"
In high spirits, Ning Fengzhi looked at the young, handsome, and unfathomable Zhang Yi, and a thought suddenly struck him. He tentatively smiled and said, "Dean, you are young and promising, with unparalleled charm. I wonder... if you have a girl you admire? If you don't mind, I am a few years older than you, and I would very much like to become friends with you despite the age gap." "Oh, by the way, this is Sword Douluo Chen Xin and Bone Douluo Gu Rong, both pillars of our sect. Tonight, may I treat you to a few drinks? Speaking of which, my Rongrong is getting on in years, and she hasn't yet..."
"Daddy!"
Ning Rongrong blushed instantly, stomped her foot playfully, and secretly glanced at Zhang Yi.
Seeing that his expression was normal, she felt both shy and a little bit of inexplicable anticipation. Her cheeks flushed, she lowered her head, fiddling with the hem of her clothes, completely different from the "little witch" she had been at Shrek Academy.
Girls are all drawn to strength, let alone a man like Zhang Yi who possesses strength, status, and good looks—he's an absolute hot commodity.
At least within the Honkai Academy, discussions about who Zhang Yi should choose have never ceased over the years.
Zhang Yi glanced at the smiling Ning Fengzhi, then at the radiant Ning Rongrong, and couldn't help but chuckle and shake his head.
This Ning Fengzhi, to bind him to this "big tree," really… spared no effort.
He gently put down his teacup, his tone still calm: "I appreciate Sect Leader Ning's kindness, but the academy is currently very busy. Let's discuss the banquet later. As for other things… fate hasn't brought us together; we can't force it."
He neither explicitly refused nor agreed, leaving ample room for both sides.
Ning Fengzhi was shrewd; he immediately understood the principle of moderation.
He quickly smiled and agreed, but in his heart, "matchmaking Rongrong and Zhang Yi" had already become one of the sect's long-term strategic tasks.
Watching Ning Fengzhi leave with his daughter, satisfied, Zhang Yi looked down at the storage bracelet soul tool that Ning Rongrong had presented on the table.
A quick scan with his divine sense revealed a mountain of rare resources and gold coins, causing him to raise an eyebrow slightly.
"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is indeed incredibly wealthy… This 'sponsorship' has solved our immediate problem," Zhang Yi muttered to himself, a meaningful smile playing on his lips. "However, you think you can be my father-in-law with this little bit of stuff? Sect Master Ning, Rita can hear your scheme from the next room."
Rita poked her head out from the next room: "Dean, how could this be my business?"
Zhang Yi waved his hand: "It's alright, just pretend I'm talking nonsense."
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's Sect Master, Ning Fengzhi, and the Sword Bone Douluo, in less than half a day, escorted Ning Rongrong to the Collapse Academy in Sunset Forest, pleading for her admission.
Their decisiveness and sincerity were truly moving.
Meanwhile, various forces were also actively making preparations.
Heaven Dou Empire, Imperial Palace.
Emperor Xue Ye looked haggard, his eyes filled with lingering shock, anger, and fear.
Qian Renxue, disguised as Xue Qinghe, had brazenly infiltrated the royal court. After her identity was exposed on the Golden List, she openly defected, and no one present dared to pursue her.
This incident was a devastating blow, severely damaging the Heavenly Dou Empire and shattering its reputation, making it even more urgent for him to find a new pillar of support.
He looked down at the Fourth Prince, Xue Beng, whose eyes had suddenly become much more composed overnight, though he still retained some of his playboy demeanor, and at his younger sister, Princess Xue Ke, beside him, whose beauty and gentle temperament were striking.
"Beng'er, Ke'er," Emperor Xue Ye's voice was hoarse but firm, "The Empire is currently beset by internal and external troubles. The Honkai Academy is the lifeline we must grasp. I have already designated it as the Empire's premier academy. Resources and privileges are at your disposal."
"Your journey represents the sincerity and future of the Heavenly Dou Royal Family. You must... you must secure Dean Zhang Yi's support!"
Xue Beng suppressed his usual playful demeanor and bowed solemnly, "Father, rest assured, your son will not fail you. I believe my sister Ke'er will also be willing to share your burdens!"
After speaking, he glanced at his sister, who was bowing slightly beside him. He didn't finish his sentence, but the meaning was clear.
Princess Xue Ke blushed slightly but did not refute, only saying softly, "For the Empire, Ke'er is willing."
On the other side, the two forces, Wuhun City and the Hall of Worship, were also making their own calculations.
Inside the Papal Palace, Bibi Dong sat high on her throne, her tone leaving no room for doubt: "Yue Guan, Gui Mei, take those three 50,000-year-old soul bones, as well as that batch of 'Star Steel' and 'Void Crystal' excavated from the ancient ruins, and escort Nana, Xie Yue, and Yan to the Collapse Academy."
"Remember, our purpose is to learn, observe, and obtain its core inheritance as much as possible. We can lower our stance, but the dignity of the Wuhun Hall cannot be insulted!"
Inside the Hall of Worship, Qian Daoliu looked at Qian Renxue, who had returned to her women's clothing and was now radiant with beauty, and said in a deep voice, "Xue'er, since the identity of the Heaven Dou Empire can no longer be used, go in your own name. Take She Long and Ci Xue with you, and prepare the 'Angel's Holy Feather' and 'Divine Grace Scroll' treasured by my Hall of Worship."
"Of course, these are just greeting gifts. I believe that with Xue'er's talent, joining the Honkai Academy will be a piece of cake. If she can become his disciple, or even... gain his favor, it would be a great benefit to our Angel lineage."
Qian Renxue's expression was calm, but her golden eyes gleamed with a determined light: "Grandpa, I understand."
The four lower sects and other forces went even crazier, with their sect leaders and kings almost all coming out!
Bringing their sect's treasures, national treasury treasures, and their most outstanding female disciples, they crowded the area around the Honkai Academy.
The next day, in the corridor of the Dean's office at the Honkai Academy.
Representatives from various forces in Douluo Continent gathered together.
They stood crammed into the corridor, glaring at each other, as if a fight could break out at any moment.
But in reality, no one dared to make a move here, and even arguments had to be kept in hushed tones.
Because this was the Honkai Academy, and inside was the Dean's office.
At this moment, the tranquility of the office contrasted sharply with the clamor outside.
Zhang Yi sat in the main seat, while Rita stood quietly to the side, skillfully brewing tea.
"Alright, let them in one by one."
Zhang Yi took a sip of tea and began his work for the day.
"Yes."
Rita nodded gracefully and went to open the door.
Immediately afterward, the office door opened again, and the first group to enter was the entire Heavenly Dou Royal Family.
