Peace and Safety Are All That Matter!

The hall was exceptionally quiet at this moment.

Everyone's minds were buzzing.

Whether it was Jiang He's Martial Soul, one no Soul Master had ever awakened before, his innate twentieth-rank Soul Power, or the two Ten-Thousand-Year Soul Rings beneath his feet, all of it was immensely shocking.

Just then, Dugu Bo's voice rang out.

"Jiang He! I told you to display your Martial Soul. Why are you showing off your Soul Rings? What if you scared old Sword? He's already so old!"

Though it sounded like a rebuke, everyone could hear the teasing in Dugu Bo's tone.

How was that a rebuke? It was blatant bragging!

"Sorry, Teacher. I just awakened my Martial Soul, so I still can't control it very well."

Jiang He naturally understood what Dugu Bo meant.

So he put on an apologetic expression and withdrew his Martial Soul and Soul Rings.

Even after he returned to normal, no one could tear their eyes away from him.

After a long while, Ning Fengzhi was the first to speak. He cupped his hands toward Dugu Bo and said, "Congratulations, Senior Dugu, on obtaining such a beloved disciple. With talent like this, becoming a Title Douluo in the future is practically inevitable!"

"Ah, who can say what the future holds?"

Dugu Bo waved his hand and tried to look modest. "We're all old. The future belongs to these young people. I don't ask for him to become particularly powerful. As long as he grows up safe and sound, that will be enough."

Although Dugu Bo tried his best to appear humble, the uncontrollable smile at the corners of his mouth completely exposed his true feelings.

Chen Xin, standing nearby, felt his mouth twitch.

That old bastard was deliberately trying to disgust him!!!

"Hmph!" Chen Xin snorted coldly. "No matter how gifted someone is, they still need a good teacher. My Rongrong recently awakened her Martial Soul too. Her Innate Soul Power is as high as rank nine. I believe that under my guidance, her future achievements certainly won't be lacking!"

"Old Sword is right!"

Chen Xin had expected Dugu Bo to refute him, but not only did Dugu Bo refrain from doing so, he even nodded in agreement. "I'm sure that under the guidance of a Title Douluo like you, this young lady of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, with her rank-nine Innate Soul Power, will definitely become a Soul Saint in the future!"

"You!"

Chen Xin glared at Dugu Bo.

Who did not know that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, the inherited Martial Soul of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, could only be cultivated to the Soul Saint rank?

Dugu Bo was purely trying to disgust him!

"Enough, Uncle Sword."

Fortunately, Ning Fengzhi spoke up then and interrupted their bickering.

He said with a smile, "The flaw in the inherited Martial Soul of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect is no secret. As for Rongrong, I only hope that she will be healthy and happy in the future."

Since Ning Fengzhi had spoken, Chen Xin could only flick his sleeve and turn away, refusing to pay Dugu Bo any more attention.

Seeing this, Dugu Bo nodded at Ning Fengzhi before turning to Meng Shenji. "Education Committee Meng, this old man will be heading back first. Jiang He will be in your care."

"Your Excellency, rest assured. We will not fail your trust!"

Meng Shenji cupped his hands toward Dugu Bo.

After nodding, Dugu Bo said to Jiang He, "Then attend Heaven Dou Royal Academy. If anything happens, come find me in Sunset Forest."

"Yes, Teacher. Take care."

Dugu Bo cast Chen Xin a glance, a smug smile on his lips, then turned and left.

After all these years, he had finally vented a little of his anger.

Next, he was going to vent his anger a second time.

That old fellow who had fought him for so many years... this time, he would definitely give him a surprise!

He was now a rank ninety-five Title Douluo too!

After Dugu Bo left, everyone's gazes fell upon Jiang He once more.

Meng Shenji spoke up. "Jiang He, right? Where are you living now?"

"Education Committee Meng, I currently live in the academy's family housing district."

"The family housing district?"

Meng Shenji froze, then his eyes lit up.

He was from their academy after all! That was good news!

But the next second, Jiang He said, "My parents used to be teachers at the academy. Two years ago, they died while leading students to obtain Soul Rings."

Ah, this...

Meng Shenji's mouth twitched.

Perhaps that was not such good news after all...

"How about this? Go back for now. Tomorrow, I'll have someone from the academy go to the family housing district and arrange your classes."

"Yes, Education Committee Meng."

Jiang He cupped his hands toward Meng Shenji, then turned and left.

After he departed, Ning Fengzhi also said to Meng Shenji, "Education Committee Meng, we shall not disturb you further today. This sect will return to the sect first."

Meng Shenji nodded to Ning Fengzhi.

"Take care, Sect Master Ning."

Xue Qinghe likewise bid Meng Shenji farewell before leaving together with Ning Fengzhi.

After leaving the academy, Xue Qinghe and Ning Fengzhi went their separate ways.

On the road back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Fengzhi asked Chen Xin, "Uncle Sword, what do you think?"

"Hmph! What else is there to think? Just watch that Old Poison show off!"

Chen Xin said resentfully, "That old bastard has no idea where he dug up such a treasure. No wonder he's so pleased with himself."

Seeing Chen Xin's expression, Ning Fengzhi smiled. "Uncle Sword, I think this is actually a good thing."

"A good thing?"

Chen Xin frowned at Ning Fengzhi in slight confusion.

Ning Fengzhi explained, "Although Jiang He has become Dugu Bo's disciple, it is not difficult to tell from what was said earlier that he has neither family power nor a sect background. Do you think someone like that can be won over?"

Hearing this, Chen Xin also fell into thought.

He frowned. "That may be true, but he is Old Poison's disciple now. If our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect tries to recruit him, I'm afraid it won't be easy."

Judging by how smug Old Poison was today, if he found out we were trying to poach his disciple, he would probably lose his temper.

Besides, with the talent he has displayed, if he truly had to choose, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect might not be the best choice."

Faced with Chen Xin's analysis, Ning Fengzhi smiled slightly. "Uncle Sword, who said we were going to poach him?"

"Hm?"

The confusion between Chen Xin's brows deepened.

At that point, Ning Fengzhi explained, "Uncle Sword, have you forgotten? He just turned six. Rongrong also only recently turned six. They are the same age."

"Fengzhi, you..."

Chen Xin instinctively wanted to object.

But faced with Ning Fengzhi's gaze, Chen Xin fell silent.

Leaving everything else aside, Ning Rongrong had been born into a sect like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and enjoyed the sect's benefits. Naturally, she also had to contribute to the sect.

Normally, he could protect her a little, but he would not be muddleheaded when it came to certain crucial matters.

Especially since throughout the long-standing traditions of Douluo Continent, there had never been a woman who did not marry.

Since she was destined to marry, choosing a good husband was naturally of utmost importance.

And Jiang He...

Though Chen Xin was unconvinced, he had no choice but to admit that this fellow's qualifications were simply too tempting.

Twentieth-rank Innate Soul Power, a super beast Martial Soul, a Ten-Thousand-Year first Soul Ring, and a Ten-Thousand-Year second Soul Ring!

Following this trend, he would at the very least have an all-black Soul Ring configuration. If he had the opportunity, he could even gain one, perhaps two, Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Rings!

His strength would be something ordinary Soul Masters could not even compare to!

Chen Xin asked himself honestly: if he faced an opponent of the same rank with such abilities, he feared he might not be able to defeat him!

Moreover, Jiang He had no parents, which meant he had no family power to tie him down. Once he was together with Ning Rongrong, he would devote himself wholeheartedly to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

Taking everything into consideration, Jiang He truly seemed to be the perfect choice.
