Ning Fengzhi's Shock and the Sword Douluo's Killing Intent

"Hoho, Dean Liu, you flatter me. But we all know that for a Soul Grandmaster to break through one rank in a month is practically impossible! Perhaps it might be possible for someone else.

"But Rongrong—I know her very well. Though I've seen how diligently she has worked this past month, breakthroughs aren't something you can achieve just because you want to. Besides, Support-type Spirit Masters already advance much more slowly than ordinary Spirit Masters."

Ning Fengzhi shook his head and spoke casually.

He merely took Liu Erlong's words as a joke, polite small talk.

"Whether she's broken through or not, you'll know when Rongrong arrives."

Liu Erlong said nothing more in response to Ning Fengzhi's words.

She might not have had much confidence if it were anyone else, but if Xiao Yu was involved, then she did.

After all, she knew that Xiao Yu possessed an Innate Domain that could accelerate cultivation!

Although its effect on a Soul Saint like her was negligible, it would have a considerable effect on Ning Rongrong, a Soul Grandmaster!

Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi gave a helpless smile.

He could not be bothered to say anything further.

"Dad! Grandfather Sword!"

Before long, at the sound of her voice, Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin both turned toward the doorway with gentle smiles.

However, when they saw Ning Rongrong holding Xiao Yu's hand, while Xiao Yu held Dugu Yan's hand as the three of them walked in together—

Both their faces instantly darkened.

Chen Xin, in particular, glared fiercely at the Soul Douluo in charge of protecting Rongrong.

The Soul Douluo responsible for watching Ning Rongrong shrank his neck at the sight.

He lowered his head and stared at the ground.

Mindful of the setting, Chen Xin did not explode. Instead, he stared at Xiao Yu with killing intent in his eyes.

When Xiao Yu saw Chen Xin's gaze, he wisely yielded when he had to, instinctively wanting to release Rongrong's hand. Then he muttered inwardly.

Hmph, you old bastard. Once my cultivation is complete, I'll kiss Rongrong's face raw right in front of you!

Though Xiao Yu wanted to let go, Rongrong refused to release him and continued clutching his hand.

"Rongrong, come here. Come to Dad!"

Ning Fengzhi was still more cunning. With a single call, he made Ning Rongrong release Xiao Yu's hand and throw herself straight into Ning Fengzhi's embrace.

Meanwhile, Chen Xin stared sternly at Xiao Yu.

That surging killing intent made Xiao Yu's hair stand on end!

However, with the aid of his dragon physique, Xiao Yu did not reveal any fear.

Seeing that Xiao Yu showed no abnormalities whatsoever—

Chen Xin, who knew exactly how terrifying his killing intent was, revealed a surprised expression.

Ning Fengzhi also gave Xiao Yu a deep sidelong glance before smiling incomparably gently at Ning Rongrong.

"Rongrong, the month is up. Have you fulfilled our agreement?"

"Mhm! Rongrong has fulfilled it!"

"Rongrong, lying is not something a good child does."

Chen Xin spoke with a gloomy expression in response to Rongrong's words.

Raising one rank in a month—how could that be possible?

"Of course I didn't lie! Grandfather Sword, I really broke through! If you don't believe me, look!"

With that, Ning Rongrong directly took out a Soul Power testing crystal.

Then she circulated her Soul Power and pressed her hand against it.

Before long, the Soul Power crystal emitted a glow.

When they saw that light, Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin both looked stunned.

The glow was not especially bright, but it was clearly the Soul Power radiance of level twenty-two.

"Rongrong! You really broke through to level twenty-two within a month?!"

Staring at the crystal ball, Chen Xin spoke in utter disbelief.

Neither Ning Fengzhi nor Chen Xin had expected things to develop like this!

"Hehe, what do you think? I'm amazing, right! Dad, I told you I could definitely do it! Dad, since I did it, I can keep staying here, right?"

Ning Rongrong said with a smile as radiant as a flower.

"Y-Yes."

Ning Fengzhi, whose mind was currently in turmoil, murmured instinctively.

Then he looked at Rongrong and Xiao Yu with an extremely complicated expression.

He knew Rongrong had cultivated every day this past month, but even so, it should have been impossible for her to break through one rank in a month.

In an instant, Ning Fengzhi recalled Rongrong's strange reaction when he had proposed this condition.

Could it be that Rongrong had agreed so quickly because she had already been certain she could break through to level twenty-two?

Was that why she had agreed with such confidence?

Or had Rongrong used some other method to reach level twenty-two?

But advancing a rank was no small matter. What method could a child like Rongrong possibly have?

"Fengzhi, this..."

Hearing Ning Fengzhi agree to Rongrong's request, Chen Xin immediately grew anxious.

They could not let Rongrong stay here.

That Xiao Yu did not look like a good person at all!

Unfortunately, he was the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's designated heir. They had no way to intervene.

Otherwise, it would become an internal war among the Upper Three Sects.

After a brief moment of thought, Ning Fengzhi soothed the anxious Chen Xin before speaking to Liu Erlong.

"I know what I'm doing, Uncle Sword. Since that's the case, Dean Erlong, the sect has matters to attend to, so we'll take our leave first. Rongrong, I'll send someone to pick you up and take you home later!"

"Dad, since I'm allowed to stay, withdraw this guard! What kind of thing is it to have guards arranged inside the academy?"

Seeing that her father was leaving, Ning Rongrong immediately spoke up.

Hearing Rongrong actually ask for the guard to be withdrawn, Ning Fengzhi frowned tightly.

How could he withdraw the guard? If that brat Xiao Yu started getting handsy when no guard was around, how would they know?

But Rongrong had now fulfilled their agreement, and they had no way to make her leave the academy and return home.

For a moment, Ning Fengzhi could not help feeling rather helpless about the situation.

This time, he felt as if he had lifted a rock only to smash his own foot.

If he had firmly refused back then, perhaps things would not have ended this way.

But he had never expected Rongrong to truly be able to meet that requirement.

"Rongrong, cultivate here peacefully for now. We'll discuss this when you return home tonight."

At this moment, Ning Fengzhi could only resort to a delaying tactic.

He had never imagined that his worries from a month ago would become reality.

"Alright."

Ning Rongrong could not exactly throw a tantrum on the spot, so she could only wait until she returned home that night to discuss it.

"Then I'll see Sect Master Ning off!"

Liu Erlong immediately stood and escorted Ning Fengzhi out of Blue Tyrant Academy.

After seeing Ning Fengzhi off, Ning Rongrong wrapped herself around Xiao Yu's arm.

Her figure, just beginning to develop, pressed against Xiao Yu as she kept rubbing against him.

"Brother Xiao Yu, Rongrong is amazing, right?!"

"Amazing. Rongrong really is amazing! You even gave Sect Master Ning a huge shock!"

Smelling the milky scent wafting from Ning Rongrong, Xiao Yu stroked her little head.

Feeling Xiao Yu's touch, Ning Rongrong was like a kitten, continually rubbing her hair against his hand in response.

Thank you to Sun Xiaolang for the reward, thank you!!!!!
