Ning Fengzhi returned to the room and said, "Rongrong, tell Father about what you've experienced over the past few months. Let me see what you've gained."
Ning Rongrong, who had just been on the verge of tears, was now all smiles. She said happily, "Father, I want to give you all a surprise."
"What surprise?" Ning Fengzhi asked curiously.
"Take a look." Ning Rongrong took out a crystal ball and infused it with soul power. The crystal ball instantly lit up with dazzling light.
"Twenty-eight soul power!" Gu Rong exclaimed. The three of them all widened their eyes, their faces filled with disbelief.
She hadn't been gone for that long—yet she had already increased her soul power by two levels. That cultivation speed was simply too fast.
Ning Rongrong put the crystal ball away and said proudly, "So? I've been cultivating very diligently these past few months."
Ning Fengzhi was now smiling broadly and said with satisfaction, "Not bad. It seems Rongrong has grown up."
Chen Xin and Gu Rong both stroked their beards and laughed heartily, feeling greatly relieved.
Ning Fengzhi said, "As expected of the Master. His teaching methods are truly effective."
Ning Rongrong said, "This actually doesn't have much to do with the Master."
Ning Fengzhi asked, "Isn't it because the Master's teaching methods are good that you've cultivated so quickly?"
Ning Rongrong replied, "He deserves some credit, but the most important contribution comes from Ao Tian."
"Oh? What do you mean?" Ning Fengzhi was surprised.
Ning Rongrong said, "The Master's training methods are too harsh. If it were just me alone, I probably wouldn't have lasted more than a few days before running away. But Ao Tian and the others are simply too talented. With the pressure they gave me, I was able to persist."
Ning Fengzhi smiled and said, "That disciple of the Master, Tang San, was already a Rank 34 Soul Elder at the age of thirteen. Such talent is extremely rare in history. Could that Ao Tian really be more talented than Tang San?"
Hearing Ning Fengzhi say this, Chen Xin and Gu Rong both couldn't help but inhale sharply.
"Is there really such a talented young man?" Chen Xin asked.
Ning Fengzhi smiled and said, "I personally saw him at the auction house today. That child is quite good—excellent cultivation talent, and also humble and polite. I think he's quite a good match for Rongrong."
"Dad, what are you saying?!" Ning Rongrong suddenly shouted, her pretty face already filled with anger.
Ning Fengzhi was taken aback, not understanding why Ning Rongrong suddenly became furious.
"Rongrong, what's wrong?" Gu Rong quickly asked.
Ning Rongrong said loudly, "Tang San isn't worthy of me. Someone like him—a petty person—isn't worthy of me at all."
Ning Fengzhi frowned and said, "What's going on? Explain it to me."
Ning Rongrong said angrily, "Back at Shrek Academy, Tang San found out that Ao Tian possessed several treasures. While Ao Tian was eating, Tang San sneaked into his room to steal them, but he was caught red-handed by everyone. I don't like people who sneak around stealing things."
"There was actually such a thing?" Ning Fengzhi said.
He was extremely shocked inside. He rarely misjudged people—had he really been wrong this time?
Ning Rongrong said, "It's true. If you don't believe me, you can go ask at Shrek Academy. Headmaster Flander and Teacher Zhao Wuji both know about it."
Ning Fengzhi immediately believed Ning Rongrong's words.
Gu Rong teased, "You've spent most of your life appraising treasures and judging people—looks like you misjudged this one."
Chen Xin shook his head and said, "I even had the thought of taking him as a disciple just now. Truly shameful, shameful."
Ning Fengzhi could only smile bitterly in helplessness.
Ning Rongrong continued, "Also, what you said earlier was right—Ao Tian really is more talented than Tang San, and by a large margin."
As she said this, a trace of pride appeared on Ning Rongrong's face, as if she were showing off a treasured possession she loved.
Ning Fengzhi frowned slightly, an ominous feeling rising in his heart.
Could it be that Rongrong had fallen for that Ao Tian?
Chen Xin and Gu Rong's expressions also changed somewhat.
They felt that although Ao Tian hadn't bullied Ning Rongrong, he was a playboy. Based on that alone, he wasn't worthy of Ning Rongrong.
How could they possibly bear to let Ning Rongrong marry a lustful man like that? There would be no happiness in such a marriage.
Although Ning Fengzhi felt displeased inside, he still asked, "Then tell me—just how talented is this Ao Tian?"
Ning Rongrong didn't notice the change in the expressions of the three at all and said proudly, "I think Ao Tian is the most talented person of all. When he first entered Shrek Academy, he was only twelve years old and was already a Rank 31 Soul Elder."
Ning Fengzhi interrupted her and said, "Tang San was Rank 34 at thirteen. That seems slightly better than Ao Tian."
Ning Rongrong shook her head vigorously and said, "Listen to me. Ao Tian hasn't cultivated since he was six years old. His soul power advanced automatically. How can Tang San compare to him?"
"How could there be such a person?" Chen Xin asked with a frown.
Ning Rongrong smiled and said, "It's really that miraculous. If you don't believe it, go ask Tang San and the Master. They attended the same junior soul master academy as Ao Tian."
Ning Fengzhi and the other two looked at each other and saw the shock in each other's eyes.
How could there be such a genius in this world?Never cultivating, yet his cultivation still increased so rapidly—if he were to cultivate seriously, wouldn't that be utterly terrifying?
Seeing the shock on her father's face, Ning Rongrong became even more pleased and continued, "And Ao Tian's talent doesn't stop there. His combat talent is the most frightening of all. Tang San has challenged him many times and never won even once. And on the very first day Ao Tian entered Shrek, as a Rank 31 Soul Elder, he severely injured Dai Mubai, who was Rank 37."
This time, even Ning Fengzhi couldn't help but inhale sharply.
Ning Rongrong continued, "Do you know what Dai Mubai's martial soul is?"
Ning Fengzhi and the other two shook their heads.
Ning Rongrong said, "Dai Mubai's martial soul is the White Tiger. A Rank 37 White Tiger martial soul, defeated effortlessly by Ao Tian. I saw it with my own eyes."
Ning Fengzhi and the others were even more shocked.
They knew very well how powerful the White Tiger martial soul was. Yet it had been defeated by someone six ranks lower—this was simply unbelievable.
Just how terrifying did Ao Tian's combat talent have to be to defeat a White Tiger martial soul across six levels?
"What is his martial soul?" Ning Fengzhi asked, suppressing the shock in his heart.
"Golden Dragon."
"I've never heard of that kind of martial soul," Chen Xin said.
Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong also shook their heads, indicating they had never heard of it either.
Ning Rongrong said, "The few girls around Ao Tian are all no less talented than Tang San. Being with them is what gave me such strong motivation to cultivate."
Ning Fengzhi remained silent for a long time before finally saying, "Then this Ao Tian truly is a genius rarely seen in a thousand years. Rongrong, could you invite him to visit the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"
Although this young man was a bit lustful, if his other qualities were acceptable, he was still worth drawing closer to.
Of course, Ning Fengzhi would never marry his daughter to such a person.
The previously proud Ning Rongrong hurriedly shook her head and said, "I already invited him. He said he's very busy and doesn't have time."
"He doesn't cultivate—what could he possibly be busy with?" Ning Fengzhi said.
Ning Rongrong replied, "That's what he said. Maybe he doesn't want to join any faction."
Ning Fengzhi said, "He doesn't need to join the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Just being friends would be fine."
"I've tried persuading him several times, but he just won't agree."
Ning Fengzhi could only give up helplessly.
"Dad, did you buy any treasures at the auction house today?" Ning Rongrong asked expectantly.
"Ao Tian told you I went to the auction house, didn't he?" Ning Fengzhi asked.
"Yes."
Ning Fengzhi smiled and said, "I really did buy a great treasure—an absolutely priceless one."
