My Father Is Ning Fengzhi

Wu Qi and the other two were not at the Great Soul Arena, and Flender was deeply worried about it.

He was very concerned that someone in the city really was hunting geniuses.

Moreover, if Wu Qi became his disciple, his future achievements would surely be limitless.

It was rumored that Shrek Academy's finest graduate was now an elder of Spirit Hall.

That was complete nonsense.

But if he took Wu Qi as his disciple, then in a few decades, that rumor might not be false.

That entire night, Flender was dazed and distracted.

Early the next morning, he gathered all the teachers and students on the training ground, his face full of exhaustion, and began training.

At the same time as before, Oscar successfully broke through to Level Thirty after cultivating in seclusion last night.

Flender did not know whether anyone in the city was hunting geniuses. Sending the Shrek Six Devils out to hunt soul beasts would greatly help them avoid pursuit.

Meanwhile, he took this opportunity to have the teachers investigate the situation in the city.

In the Star Dou Great Forest.

As they drew closer and closer to the location marked on the map, trouble arrived with it.

The three of them first accidentally entered the territory of a Rolling Mouse pack. Rolling Mice were herbivorous soul beasts and were not very aggressive by nature.

The three were chased for more than ten li before finally shaking them off.

But before they could catch their breath, movement came from their surroundings again.

Wu Qi made a silencing gesture and pulled Qiangu Changkong and Ning Rongrong behind a tree trunk.

Before long, an old woman and a young girl passed through the bushes and arrived at the spot where they had been standing.

"Grandmother, I don't want to leave you, and I don't want to go to Beast Academy."

The young girl whined coquettishly at the old woman beside her.

The old woman gently stroked her forehead and said kindly, "Yiran, Advanced Soul Master Academy is a stage everyone must go through in life."

"Don't forget about the Soul Master Tournament more than two years from now. By then, Grandmother hopes you'll find yourself a suitable husband."

Listening to the conversation between the grandmother and granddaughter from behind the tree, Wu Qi immediately confirmed their identities.

They had arrived at the Star Dou Great Forest only two days before Shrek Academy. He had not expected to run into the Overwhelming Dragon Snake Couple anyway.

Chao Tianxiang was a Soul Emperor. With her attention on Meng Yiran, she had not noticed anyone nearby at first.

But one must not forget that her martial soul was related to snakes.

A gust of wind passed by, and she sensed someone's aura. She immediately looked around vigilantly.

"Since you've come, why hide? This old woman will give you three breaths. If you don't come out, don't blame me for being discourteous."

A trace of panic flashed through Meng Yiran's eyes. She quickly moved closer to Chao Tianxiang and assumed a fighting stance.

Seeing that they had been exposed, Wu Qi and the other two slowly walked out.

"Don't misunderstand. We were just passing by," Qiangu Changkong said with an apologetic smile.

Could Chao Tianxiang not tell whether they had malicious intent?

From where the three had been standing, if they had launched a sneak attack just now, Meng Yiran would have been dead without a doubt.

Chao Tianxiang sneered inwardly and pressed them at the same time. "If you were merely passing by, why not leave openly? Why hide in the shadows?"

Ning Rongrong put her hands on her hips and snapped back, "Hey, hey, hey, what do you mean by that? We were just passing through. Did we get in your way?"

Seeing how young they looked, and with Chao Tianxiang protecting her, Meng Yiran stepped forward and sneered. "Little sister, this is the Star Dou Great Forest. Even if we kill you, who would know?"

Wu Qi gave Qiangu Changkong a meaningful look. The latter immediately understood and said with a smile, "Senior, could we speak privately for a moment?"

He had the Pope's Order in his possession. It was Spirit Hall's highest-ranking insignia, carrying status equal to that of a Spirit Hall elder.

Anyone who saw this insignia would show some respect. He believed Chao Tianxiang would be no exception.

However, Chao Tianxiang had her own concerns.

She could sense that Wu Qi was not weak, or else he would not have ventured this deep.

If Qiangu Changkong tied her down while the others seized Meng Yiran, that would be a huge problem.

Seeing that she remained unmoved, Wu Qi lightly patted Qiangu Changkong's shoulder and stepped past him. "Senior Snake Granny, we're all sensible people. There's no need to play dumb."

"If we had acted just now, your granddaughter would already be dead."

"If we can part peacefully, why make things unpleasant? How about we go our separate ways?"

Chao Tianxiang's brows twitched.

Not many New Generation Soul Masters knew the reputation of the Overwhelming Dragon Snake Couple. Since they knew her title, they likely had some background.

After a pause, she decided to test them. "May I ask how the three young friends are addressed?"

The moment Wu Qi stepped out, Meng Yiran noticed his appearance.

That noble, elegant temperament deeply attracted her.

"Grandmother, why waste words with them?" As she spoke, she crooked a finger at Wu Qi. "Either compete with me. If you beat me, all of you may leave."

"Or you stay, and everyone else leaves!"

"What do you want!" Noticing her gaze, Ning Rongrong stepped in front of Wu Qi and said furiously, "The Dragon Snake Family is certainly imposing. I wonder how many moves you can survive under Grandpa Sword's hand!"

In her urgency, she had no choice but to invoke Sword Douluo's name.

"Sword?" Chao Tianxiang frowned.

There were many powerful soul masters with sword-type martial souls on the continent, but Ning Rongrong spoke with such confidence that this expert could only be Sword Douluo.

The Overwhelming Dragon Snake Couple's Martial Soul Fusion Skill was as powerful as a Title Douluo.

That claim could at most intimidate experts below the rank of Title Douluo.

Comparable to a Title Douluo was, after all, not a true Title Douluo.

Against someone as powerful as Chen Xin, their fate was easy to imagine.

Meng Yiran seemed not to realize this and said mockingly, "Little sister, if you die, then that grandfather of yours—"

Chao Tianxiang hurriedly cut her off. "Yiran, shut up!"

Then she looked at Ning Rongrong. "Are you three from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"

At the same time, Wu Qi leaned close to Ning Rongrong and whispered a few words to her.

The Overwhelming Dragon Snake Couple was indecisive, and a middling force like the Dragon Snake Family was precisely the sort of power that would be swallowed up or suppressed on the continent.

Using the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's name to make them retreat was the best course of action.

However, the identity of an ordinary Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect disciple might not be enough to make them back down. Ning Rongrong had to reveal her identity.

If Chao Tianxiang still refused to yield, then hehe, Golden Eagle Douluo would teach her a lesson.

At that point, to avoid exposing himself, he could only knock Ning Rongrong unconscious.

Ning Rongrong put her left hand on her hip as the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda martial soul appeared in her right hand.

She puffed out her chest and declared confidently, "My father is Ning Fengzhi! If the Dragon Snake Family doesn't want the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect knocking at its door, then get out of this young lady's way!"

Even children who had only just begun cultivating as soul masters had heard Ning Fengzhi's name, much less Chao Tianxiang.

"Greetings, Young Miss Ning."

Chao Tianxiang changed her attitude and bowed slightly to her.

Meng Yiran covered her mouth in disbelief.

If she had finished what she had been about to say, then once the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect bore a grudge against them, her entire family would be finished.

"Senior Snake Granny, may we pass?" Qiangu Changkong asked with a smile.

Since the young miss of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had appeared in the Soul Beast Forest, powerful experts would inevitably be accompanying her.

Chao Tianxiang secretly rejoiced. Fortunately, they had only exchanged words just now. If they had truly fought, the ones who would die would certainly have been them.

"Please, young friends, do as you please."

"Young Miss Ning, please convey this old woman's regards to Sect Master Ning."
