Transaction

In less than a minute, the Shrek Academy Team defeated their opponents and made a triumphant exit amidst thunderous cheers, successfully giving their first major tournament a perfect start.

Although all members of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy Team Two were only Soul Elder, their strength was not actually too weak. The fact that they were able to win in such a direct and overwhelming manner, and that the Shrek Academy Team members only used their first and second Soul Skill at most, undoubtedly proved that they were a huge dark horse.

Perhaps starting today, the Shrek Academy Team's black-and-gold-embellished uniforms will become the most eye-catching and intimidating presence.

There was only one opening match today. After the Shrek Academy Team won, everyone began to leave in an orderly manner, looking forward to the official start of the competition tomorrow.

Oscar and his group of Little Monster had just left the Great Soul Arena, and were preparing to take them out for a break and give them a chance to study some information about other academies.

After Flender and the other teachers gave Oscar a few instructions, they disappeared. But judging from Flender's expression, they were probably going to see someone they were looking forward to...

Just as everyone stepped out of the Great Soul Arena, a familiar voice made them stop.

"Rongrong".

Hearing the voice, everyone turned to look and saw Ning Fengzhi, who had changed into ordinary clothes, standing in a corner not far from the entrance, waving at them.

Chen Xin, still dressed in white, stood calmly beside Ning Fengzhi.

"Dad, Grandpa Sword!" Upon seeing Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin, Ning Rongrong excitedly ran over and threw herself into her father's arms.

Everyone had just been watching Ning Fengzhi give his speech, so they naturally knew his identity.

The sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, one of the Upper Three Sects, and the leader among Support System Spirit Master, any one of Ning Fengzhi's identities is enough to make him stand at the pinnacle of the Spirit Master World.

Upon closer inspection, Tai Long and Jing Ling's expressions showed slight excitement. Even Dai Mubai and Zhu Zhuqing, both from prominent families, couldn't help but perk up when facing someone of this caliber.

Ning Fengzhi walked over, holding Ning Rongrong's hand, and said gently, "Hello, children from the Shrek Academy."

When Ning Fengzhi personally greeted them, everyone from the Shrek Academy quickly bowed in response.

Ning Fengzhi smiled and said, "No need to be so polite. I am just Rongrong's father now. Please don't treat me like some kind of sect leader. I am just your elder."

Ning Fengzhi's approachable manner undoubtedly won the hearts of everyone at the Shrek Academy. Ning Fengzhi's gaze fell on Oscar, and he smiled slightly, saying, "Xiao Ao, with your strength, do you still need to participate in such a competition?"

Ning Fengzhi already knew that Oscar had reached the level of Spirit King, after all, Oscar had stayed at the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect for a few days back then.

During that time, Chen Xin also discussed some swordsmanship experiences with Oscar and gave Oscar a lot of useful advice.

Oscar smiled upon hearing this, "Uncle Ning, this is just a clone I left behind. My main body has already gone into seclusion with my teacher to cultivate."

"I only stayed behind as a precaution. By the way, Rongrong is already Soul Ancestor, but I didn't let her participate in the competition in order to conserve our strength."

Ning Fengzhi knew about Oscar's ability to Clone Sausage, because Ning Rongrong had been home for so long and had shared many things about the academy with Ning Fengzhi.

What surprised Ning Fengzhi the most was that Oscar was Twin Martial Souls possessor.

Innate Full Soul Power is already extremely rare and precious, but Oscar, the young master of the Sword Sect, is actually a Twin Martial Souls possessor.

Furthermore, Oscar's Fifth Spirit Ability brought such a terrifying boost to Gu Rong, greatly enhancing the strength of their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

In recent months, Ning Fengzhi has sometimes thought that perhaps allowing Ning Rongrong to go out was the right decision he ever made.

Ning Rongrong went away for a year and not only brought back a Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, but also brought such a powerful ally to their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Now Ning Fengzhi likes Oscar more and more.

Unfortunately, according to Ning Rongrong, Oscar already has a girlfriend, and her talent is in no way inferior to Oscar's.

However, there is also something to be happy about: her daughter now has a close relationship with Ma Hongjun.

According to Ning Rongrong, Ma Hongjun's talent might be comparable to Oscar's.

At such a young age, almost the same age as her own daughter, she is already approaching level fifty.

Now that so much time has passed, perhaps that kid Ma Hongjun has already reached level 50?

A fourteen-year-old Spirit King? Ning Fengzhi had never even heard of one, let alone seen one. Ning Fengzhi wished he could recruit all the Little Monster from the Shrek Academy under his command.

However, Ning Fengzhi also understood, and had also heard from Ning Rongrong, that the reason these Little Monsters were able to have such strength was not only because of their own extraordinary talent, but also because Oscar had personally invested in them.

Therefore, Ning Fengzhi, one of the young geniuses, probably has no hope. In the future, he will most likely be recruited into the Sword Sect by Oscar.

However, this does not affect the friendship between the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Sword Sect. Moreover, if his daughter could have a relationship with Ma Hongjun, that would be something Ning Fengzhi would like to see.

Ning Rongrong was already very talented, with Innate Level Nine Spirit Power. Even without that Immortal Grade Pill, Ning Rongrong would still have the potential to cultivate to the Eight Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda in the future.

Now that Ning Rongrong's Martial Soul Evolution into the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda and her talent has been further enhanced, it has become even more difficult for Ning Fengzhi to find a suitable partner for his daughter.

So Ning Fengzhi actually hoped that his daughter and Ma Hongjun could have a good outcome. After all, what father wouldn't want his daughter to be happy in the future? Hearing Oscar's words, Ning Fengzhi said, "I see."

Ning Fengzhi exchanged pleasantries with Oscar, and then Ning Rongrong introduced the Shrek Academy members to Ning Fengzhi. However, he did not say anything about recruiting them, because it was no longer necessary.

However, Ma Hongjun was still a little nervous when he faced Ning Fengzhi, after all, this was his future father-in-law!

Ning Fengzhi noticed Ma Hongjun's unease and didn't make things difficult for him. Instead, he praised him a few times, showing his goodwill.

Finally, seeing that it was almost time, Ning Fengzhi said, "I have high hopes for you. Perhaps, only in the Grand Finals will you meet your true opponents."

"I'm now a member of the Tournament Organizing Committee, so I won't talk to you any longer to avoid being accused of favoritism or cheating."

After Ning Fengzhi finished speaking, he patted Ning Rongrong's little head, then looked at Oscar: "Xiao Ao, do you have time now? Why don't you come sit with Uncle Ning?"

Upon hearing Ning Fengzhi's invitation, Oscar glanced at Dugu Yan, then nodded and left with Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin.

Watching Ning Fengzhi's departing figure, Tai Long in the group spoke up Youyou, "Rongrong, that gentleman next to Sect Master Ning just now should be His Your Excellency Sword Douluo, right? I even heard you call him Grandpa Sword."

Upon hearing this, the others immediately became excited. For Ning Fengzhi, the Titled Douluo was also very attractive to them!

That's Titled Douluo! Especially for Jing Ling, Huang Yuan, and Jiang Zhu, this might be the last time they'd ever be so close to someone of that level. Ning Rongrong smiled and nodded, "Grandpa Sword isn't actually that aloof. It's just that Grandpa Sword doesn't like to talk much when he's out and about..."

After this little incident, Dugu Yan took everyone to a large hotel and booked a private room so that everyone could relax.

Ma Hongjun whispered something excitedly in Ning Rongrong's ear, while Ning Rongrong, her pretty face slightly flushed, whispered back to Ma Hongjun, clearly saying something embarrassing.

On the other side, Ning Fengzhi led Oscar to a quaint teahouse.

The teahouse wasn't very large, only three stories high, and decorated in an antique style. At this time, there were only a few customers inside, making it very quiet.

The three of them arrived at the innermost private room on the second floor, pushed aside the folding screen, Ning Fengzhi led Oscar inside.

The three sat down, Ning Fengzhi personally poured Oscar a cup of excellent tea and handed it to Oscar.

Oscar accepted the tea with both hands, and said apologetically, "Uncle Ning, please don't be so polite. I'm just a junior, how could I accept having you personally pour the tea?"

Ning Fengzhi smiled warmly, poured another cup for Chen Xin, and then poured one for himself.

After pouring the tea, Ning Fengzhi slowly sat down and smiled, "This is no politeness at all. As you said yourself, you are the junior, so it is only right for me, as the elder, to take care of the junior."

"I don't know if you young people are used to drinking this light tea. Why don't you try some? It's a treasured tea that I keep here."

Hearing Ning Fengzhi's words, Oscar smiled, picked up his teacup, took a sip, and then nodded. "It is indeed good, but I think my teacher will like it."

"I'm like a wild boar, I can't handle fine food, so it's a bit of a waste for me to have this tea with me."

Upon hearing Oscar's words, Ning Fengzhi smiled and said, "In that case, take some back with you when you leave later. It's a small token of my appreciation for your teacher."

"How could I possibly accept that?" Oscar waved his hand, looking embarrassed. "I haven't done anything to take your treasured collection. I can't possibly accept that."

Oscar paused for a moment, then asked, "Uncle Ning, is there something you wanted to discuss with me alone?"

Ning Fengzhi didn't try to hide anything, and smiled warmly, "It's so comfortable talking to you, there's no need to be coy."

"Then I'll be frank. Uncle Ning wants to discuss something with you, to make a deal."

Oscar smiled slightly upon hearing this, "Uncle Ning, if it is something I can decide, I will certainly do my best to cooperate."

Ning Fengzhi knew Oscar wasn't just being polite, so he went straight to the point. "The Dark Demon Evil Tiger Intestine you gave Uncle Gu before was a great help to him, but the quantity was too small. Gu Rong is currently in seclusion trying to comprehend the Ultimate Spatial Attribute. I think if possible, I can offer you some items of equal value to exchange for some more."

Hearing this, Oscar wasn't surprised that Ning Fengzhi knew that the Dark Demon Evil Tiger Intestine was his Spirit Abilities, since Ning Rongrong wouldn't hide this from Ning Fengzhi and the others.

Oscar smiled knowingly at Ning Fengzhi's question. He had been wondering how to ask Ning Fengzhi for something, and now, just when he was feeling sleepy, Ning Fengzhi had delivered the perfect solution.

Oscar smiled and said, "Uncle Ning, is that all you're asking for?"

Ning Fengzhi nodded and then said, "Don't worry, we'll handle this officially. Your Fifth Spirit Ability is extremely valuable to Uncle Gu, and I won't let you give it up for nothing."

Oscar drank the tea in his cup in one gulp, then picked up the teapot and poured more, saying, "Here, I'll fill up Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin too."

"Uncle Ning, you're joking. What business do we have with each other?" Oscar smiled slightly. "Since Senior Bone Douluo needs it, I will naturally do my best to provide it. However, using my Fifth Spirit Ability takes a lot out of me each time, so the quantity will definitely not be too much."

Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi was slightly taken aback, then smiled with delight, "Xiao Ao, you... really?"

Oscar nodded. "Of course, I can provide thirty Dark Demon Evil Tiger Intestine every month. I wonder if that's enough?"

Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin exchanged a glance, their joy evident in their eyes.

Although Ning Fengzhi knew before he approached Oscar that Oscar would most likely not refuse, he did not expect Oscar to be so generous.

The number of thirty per month was already beyond Ning Fengzhi's expectations.

What Ning Fengzhi didn't know was that this number was just a drop in the ocean for Oscar.

After all, he specifically set aside a clone to make various Sausage every day as a reserve, and now his reserves of various Soul Skill Sausage have reached a terrifying level.

Ning Fengzhi said, "That's enough, more than enough. But since you're so Xiao Ao, I'd feel embarrassed to accept it without making some requests."

"How about this, in the future, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will prioritize supplying the Sword Sect with its cooperation. Although the Sword Sect has a deep foundation, it is still a relatively new entity. With the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's help, you can quickly establish a chain of interests on the continent."

Upon hearing this, Oscar smiled and replied, "Thank you very much, Uncle Ning."

Oscar then pondered for a moment, looked at Chen Xin and said, "Actually, I also have a favor to ask of His Your Excellency Sword Douluo."

Hearing this, Chen Xin smiled slightly, "Don't always call me senior. You and Rongrong are about the same age. If you'd like, you can call me Grandpa Sword."

After a pause, Chen Xin continued, "You've given this old man such a great opportunity. Just tell me what you need, and I'll take care of it for you."

Hearing this, Oscar's smile widened even more, "Then this junior will shamelessly call you Grandpa Sword."

"Grandpa Sword, I want some of your blood. If possible, I also need some of Senior Gu Rong's blood."

Upon hearing this, Chen Xin was slightly taken aback, but then he understood. Ning Rongrong had told them about Oscar's incredible Spirit Abilities and their effects.

Oscar's Fourth Spirit Ability has the effect of copying another person's Martial Soul, or even Spirit Bone, by using their blood.

After Oscar finished speaking, he added, "Although this request is indeed a bit presumptuous, I think that both Grandpa Sword and Senior Gu Rong are Titled Douluo- level powerhouses, and I also want to keep some trump cards for myself."

"Of course, rest assured, I will absolutely not use your blood, Grandpa Sword, or Senior Gu Rong, to do anything that would damage your reputation."

"If you really have difficulty, then just pretend I didn't say that, since my request is indeed a bit excessive."

Hearing Oscar's words, Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin were at a loss for words.

Oscar's request was indeed somewhat presumptuous. If one didn't know that Oscar possessed Spirit Abilities's Martial Soul, it wouldn't have mattered.

But now we know that if Oscar were to copy their Martial Soul, it would undoubtedly expose their Spirit Abilities and some of their trump cards to Chen Xin or Gu Rong.

This is a major taboo for any Soul Master, because if someone with ulterior motives were to exploit this to target them, it would be a huge loss.

However, Oscar's bluntness left Chen Xin somewhat conflicted.

What's more, he had just promised to take care of Oscar's matter, and now he's starting to hesitate after hearing this, which is really embarrassing for Titled Douluo...
