Sunset Forest, Welcome to Hell Difficulty Dungeon

Inside the magnificent castle of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

"Dad! I'm home!"

Ning Rongrong's clear voice broke the tranquility of the sect's main hall.

Hearing my precious daughter's voice,

Ning Fengzhi, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect who was dealing with sect affairs, was slightly startled.

A kind and delighted smile immediately appeared on his face.

Before he could even stand up,

The space inside the main hall distorted.

A man with broad bones, a withered face, and an astonishing aura appeared out of thin air; it was none other than Bone Douluo Gu Rong.

"Oh, my little darling Ning Rongrong, I've missed you so much, Grandpa Bone!"

Gu Rong hugged Ning Rongrong, who rushed in, and grinned from ear to ear.

Ning Fengzhi also came over.

He looked Ning Rongrong up and down, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.

Half a year has passed,

His daughter had lost her former spoiled arrogance.

Instead, his eyes were clear and bright.

His gaze held a subtle yet sharp and composed air, honed through countless battles.

Her entire demeanor underwent a complete transformation.

"Ning Rongrong, it seems you've grown quite a bit during your time at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy."

Ning Fengzhi patted his daughter's head with satisfaction.

"So, did anyone bully you? If so, tell Bone Grandpa, Bone Grandpa will teach him a lesson for you!"

"Bone Grandpa, everyone is so kind to me!"

"Although Brother Ye Qing's training methods are practically devilish, the results are truly remarkable!"

Ning Rongrong excitedly waved her little fist, eager to share her progress.

Ning Fengzhi nodded with a smile.

Then, somewhat puzzled, he asked, "So, why did you rush back overnight? Is there something important?"

Ning Rongrong's expression turned serious, and she said earnestly, "Dad, Brother Ye Qing has announced the end of our first phase of special training."

"Starting the day after tomorrow, the Imperial Fighting Team will head to Sunset Forest for the second phase of their unrestricted wilderness survival training."

"Brother Ye Qing said I'm the sect's little princess, with a special status, and I have to come back to get your permission first."

"To conduct a field exercise in Sunset Forest?"

Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi's eyes narrowed slightly, and he fell into deep thought.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Council Hall.

Ning Fengzhi in the main seat, with a topographical map of Sunset Forest spread out in front of him.

Bone Douluo Gu Rong, paced back and forth to his right, his face contorted with wrinkles.

Sword Douluo Chen Xin was also summoned over, standing with his hands behind his back to the side of the hall, eyes closed and silent.

"No, absolutely not!"

Gu Rong was the first to retaliate, slamming his withered hand heavily on the table.

"Sunset Forest is that awful place; Soul Beast roam everywhere, and hordes of venomous beasts emerge in droves."

"Not even a proper teacher is following along, and a bunch of kids in their twenties and thirties are scrambling in. This isn't special training, it's like they're being sent to their doom!"

"Bone Grandpa!"

Ning Rongrong was so anxious that she kept stamping her feet.

"Brother Ye Qing said he has made thorough arrangements and will absolutely not put anyone's life in danger!"

"He said?"

"How can he, a mere youth, guarantee anything?"

The Gu Rong puffed out its beard and glared.

"I've eaten more salt than he's walked roads. When I was young, I had to avoid Sunset Forest!"

"Old man, what's the rush?"

Chen Xin, who had been silent all along, finally opened his eyes, his voice carrying an undeniable sharpness.

"This Ye Qing, at such a young age, is able to independently coordinate the team's special training, handling everything from Soul Bone allocation and phase planning to safety assurance. His strategic planning ability alone surpasses that of many teachers who are just coasting along in the academy."

He paused, then turned his gaze to Ning Fengzhi.

"You can't raise a phoenix in a greenhouse, Fengzhi, what do you think?"

Ning Fengzhi pondered for a moment, then lightly tapped the table with his fingertips.

He looked at his daughter.

When she left six months ago, she was still a spoiled and willful little princess.

Now his eyes are clear and calm, and his whole demeanor is completely different.

This kind of change cannot be achieved through complacency.

"Ning Rongrong."

Ning Fengzhi spoke, his tone gentle yet solemn. "Your father will support you."

"Real?!"

Ning Rongrong's eyes lit up instantly, and she almost jumped up on the spot.

"But you must promise your father that you won't be reckless in dangerous situations; saving your life should always be your top priority."

"Okay, okay! Daddy's the best!"

Ning Rongrong rushed over, hugged Ning Fengzhi's arm, and acted coquettishly for a while before happily running out to prepare her luggage.

The hall fell silent.

Gu Rong's face remained long and drawn.

"What are you two thinking?"

"Ning Rongrong is the heir of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!"

Chen Xin glanced at him indifferently.

"Old man, use your brain!"

"Ye Qing is Dugu Yan's fiancé, and that Old Poison Dugu Bo is Yan's biological grandfather."

"No matter how crazy Dugu Bo is, he can't just stand by and watch his granddaughter and grandson-in-law get into trouble."

"Since Ye Qing dared to take his fiancée to this kind of special training, he must have Dugu Bo's protection behind him."

"So, you old bones, stop worrying about this and don't even think about sneaking off."

Chen Xin's tone carried a hint of warning. "Your meddling in the trials of young people will only make things worse."

"I..."

Gu Rong opened his mouth, but in the end could only let out a reluctant hum.

"Alright, alright."

"But I'm telling you this: if Ning Rongrong loses even a single hair, I'll make him pay!"

Chen Xin gave a rare slight smile.

"Ning Rongrong's spirits and energy have really changed a lot since she came back this time."

"I'm really looking forward to seeing what surprises Ning Rongrong will bring us after six months of intensive outdoor training."

Ning Fengzhi gazed in the direction his daughter had left, his eyes filled with expectation.

Me too.

Two days later.

At the main gate of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, the entire Imperial Fighting Team assembled.

However, everyone's attention was drawn to the mountain of supplies that Ning Rongrong pulled out of her Storage Soul Tool.

Silk bedding, crystal tea sets, boxes of spiritual fruits and pastries, and even a portable folding dressing table...

Osler was completely dumbfounded.

"Ning Rongrong... Sister?"

Goodness, she even called me "sister"!

"Are you going on a wilderness survival mission or a picnic/vacation?"

"Rich woman! Please let me cling to your coattails!" Yu Feng's eyes reddened.

The brothers Shi Mo and Shi Mo, went even further, kneeling down on one knee and declaring, "Sister Ning Rongrong, from now on you're our sister!"

The generational hierarchy is completely messed up.

"Hmph, it was all Bone Grandpa's insistence that I bring this, afraid I'd suffer out there."

Ning Rongrong pursed her lips, but the curve of her mouth clearly showed her smugness.

"Pfft!"

Ye Qing laughed out loud.

The smile on his face vanished the next second.

Instead, it was replaced by that chilling "devilish expression" that sent shivers down everyone's spine.

"Confiscate everything."

Ning Rongrong's smug expression froze instantly.

"Ye... Brother Ye Qing?"

Ye Qing walked forward expressionlessly and began to rummage through Ning Rongrong's "survival supplies" one by one.

"Silk quilts, confiscated."

"Crystal tea set? Bringing this into the Forest, are you planning to brew Kung Fu tea for Ten Thousand Year Soul Beast? Confiscated."

"Dressing table..."

He glanced back at Ning Rongrong, his expression complex.

Do you think the Soul Beast of Sunset Forest will stop eating you just because you're wearing makeup?

Confiscate them all!

"Everyone should keep only basic equipment and dry rations."

"That's what wilderness survival is all about!"

Ning Rongrong's lips were so pouty they could hang an oil bottle on them.

But faced with Ye Qing's "Try to argue with me" face, he ultimately didn't dare to say a single word.

Yu Feng chuckled gleefully from the side.

Until Ye Qing casually found the braised chicken legs he had secretly hidden.

"Ah! My big chicken leg!"
