In Feng Xiaotian's room, Feng Xiaotian had been treated and was covered in bandages, but he was already fine.

"Cough, cough. Although Feng Xiaotian was thoroughly humiliated this time, I didn't call you all here to talk about that."

"I called you here to discuss Qin Qi of Heaven Dou Royal Academy."

The principal of Godwind Academy coughed twice, then his expression turned serious as he spoke.

"Go ahead, Principal. We're listening."

When Feng Xiaotian thought of Qin Qi, he could not help but sigh. He had originally wanted to have a good time, only to get beaten up again.

How humiliating.

"First, let's discuss his combat strength. Our previous analysis of Qin Qi's strengths and weaknesses was entirely correct."

"This man is despicable and shameless, yet learned and talented; treacherous and cunning, yet resourceful and strategic."

"Most importantly, he's far too fierce. His explosive power is simply overwhelming!"

"To put it bluntly, if the seven of you let him get close, he could knock every one of you down in less than a minute."

The principal sighed as he spoke. They had already greatly overestimated Qin Qi's explosive power before, but now he realized it still had not been enough.

He could throw stones with power comparable to soul skills just by relying on brute strength. Wasn't that absurdly strong?

"Mm, Principal, I understand that point deeply."

"Whether it's strength, speed, or defense, that guy has no weaknesses at all."

"His only flaw is his lack of methods. Don't be fooled by how badly I got beaten."

"But he even resorted to throwing stones at the end. That proves he truly had no other way to deal with me."

Once Feng Xiaotian calmed down, his mind was still quite sharp. What was that saying again? When a fool stopped acting like a fool...

You had to be careful. If he got serious, he could be terrifying.

"Xiaotian is right. Based on the information gathered from his other battles, Qin Qi truly is a soul master without any shortcomings."

"His strength rivals that of an assault-type soul master, his speed rivals that of an agility-type soul master, and his defense rivals that of a defense-type soul master."

"The most outrageous part is that he's an auxiliary-type soul master. Heaven Dou Royal Academy really has no shame when it comes to winning."

"What kind of auxiliary-type soul master can fight like that? Those three old geezers from Meng Shenji's side really have no standards."

As the dean of Godwind Academy spoke, he could not help cursing. He felt as though Meng Shenji had taken him for a fool.

Qin Qi was such a terrifying soul master, yet they were telling him he was auxiliary-type? Were they just messing with him?

"Cough, cough, Dean, now isn't the time to talk about that."

"Tell us what we should do in tomorrow's team battle. How are we supposed to fight this?"

Feng Xiaotian asked.

"How should we fight... Mm, surrender. Once we encounter Heaven Dou Royal Academy, surrender immediately."

The principal of Godwind Academy said.

"Surrender? Dean, you're not joking, are you?"

Feng Xiaotian asked.

"I'm not joking. Heaven Dou Royal Academy used to be full of trash, all style and no substance."

"But this time, Heaven Dou has actually produced some geniuses."

"Leaving Qin Qi aside, just Yu Tianheng alone is a three-ring Soul Elder, an assault-type soul master with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon and mastery of Dragonification."

"He defeated six members of Thunderclap Academy by himself before, and nearly defeated all seven. His strength cannot be underestimated either."

"Then there are the defense-type brothers Shi Mo and Shi Mo. Their top-tier defense-type martial souls are Black Tortoise Turtles, and since they're brothers, they most likely have a martial soul fusion skill."

"That is also a major source of combat power and cannot be ignored."

"Then there's the most terrifying control-type martial soul, the Jade Phosphor SerpentDugu Yan. Are you confident that you can avoid being poisoned while facing attacks from both Qin Qi and Yu Tianheng?"

"Finally, there is Ye Lingling with the Nine Heart Begonia. Although the Nine Heart Begonia's healing ability is powerful, it isn't that dangerous on its own."

"But if you put Qin Qi and Ye Lingling together, you get a fighter without weaknesses paired with powerful healing."

"As long as Ye Lingling's soul power doesn't run dry, Qin Qi won't fall. His combat power will directly double."

"Tell me, how are you supposed to fight?"

The dean looked sternly at Feng Xiaotian and the others. If it were a one-on-one fight, Feng Xiaotian still had a chance.

But the other students of Godwind Academy were far inferior to Qin Qi's group. They would undoubtedly lose in a team battle.

"So we're just giving up like this?"

Feng Xiaotian was somewhat unwilling to accept it. He had still hoped to wash away his humiliation in the team battle.

"We're not giving up. We're surrendering strategically."

"Don't forget, there are no elimination rounds in this exchange tournament. It's a ranking competition."

"As long as our final number of wins is high enough, that will be enough."

"Let the other academies deal with that tough bone called Heaven Dou Academy."

The headmaster of Godwind Academy revealed a sinister smile. For the sake of my performance record, I could only resort to this.

At this moment, Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo appeared in Ning Fengzhi's room.

"You both saw today's match, didn't you?"

"I'm planning to send Rongrong to study at Heaven Dou Academy. What do you two think?"

Ning Fengzhi poured Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo each a cup of tea before asking.

"Heaven Dou Academy did produce a few geniuses this time, but only those few."

Sword Douluo took a sip of tea and spoke.

"Fengzhi, are you planning to have Rongrong make friends with those people?"

Bone Douluo asked with a smile.

"Yes."

Ning Fengzhi nodded.

"I think that might be difficult. You know Rongrong's temper—she's a willful little witch."

"Then look at those students from Heaven Dou. They aren't exactly good kids either."

"They're known as problem children at Heaven Dou, especially that Qin Qi. He's caused no shortage of trouble lately."

"If Rongrong runs into them, I feel like they'll end up fighting."

Bone Douluo said.

"I know, but Rongrong isn't little anymore. It's time her temperament was tempered."

"It would do her good to suffer a little out there."

Ning Fengzhi had considered this as well, but he felt that letting Ning Rongrong suffer a few setbacks would be beneficial.

"There's something else. That Qin Qi is quite close to the Fourth Prince, Xue Beng."

"Dugu Yan's grandfather, Dugu Bo, is very close to Prince Xue Xing. Wouldn't it be inappropriate to have Rongrong get involved with them?"

Sword Douluo spoke up then. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect supported the eldest prince, Xue Qinghe.

If they allowed Ning Rongrong, the sect leader's daughter, to associate with Qin Qi and the others now, it might indeed be inappropriate.

"I know that, but isn't that a good thing?"

"Betting on both sides—whether they win or lose, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will continue to prosper."

Ning Fengzhi pushed up his glasses, a sharp glint flashing through his eyes. He was a businessman.

His support for the Heaven Dou royal family was merely an investment. What he ultimately sought was the sect's prosperity.

Whether the eldest prince or the fourth prince became emperor did not matter. Betting on both sides was the safest course.

"Then let Rongrong come watch the matches tomorrow too."

"Let her get to know those Heaven Dou students first. Well, I hope everything goes smoothly."

Bone Douluo spread his hands. He felt that if his little witch encountered those troublesome students, something was bound to happen.

"That would be best."

Ning Fengzhi nodded in agreement.

The next day, Ning Rongrong was brought to the spectator stands, while Qin Qi and the others began their team battle against Skywater Academy.
