Hearing the slight cough, Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo slowly raised their heads, their gazes simultaneously fixing on the drunken man in the tattered gray robe. They exchanged a look, their expressions instantly turning solemn.
"Fengzhi, I can feel that this person is unfathomable; his strength is definitely not below mine. Could he be...?" Sword Douluo lowered his voice, speaking in a deep, cautious tone.
Ning Fengzhi slowly nodded, his eyes deep as an abyss. "It's very possible," he murmured. "I just didn't expect the dignified Clear Sky Douluo to now be scurrying around like a rat, hiding in the shadows, not daring to show his face easily."
"Could Tang San really be Tang Hao's son? But why does Tang San have the Blue Silver Grass Spirit?" A hint of coldness flashed in Ning Fengzhi's eyes, and he quickly changed the subject. "However, Rongrong's matter cannot be simply dismissed. While I can't put direct pressure on Tang San right now, I can certainly pressure Shrek Academy."
The next moment, Ning Fengzhi walked slowly toward Liu Erlong and Flender. His expression was stern, and his voice, though unhurried, carried an invisible weight of authority. "Since your family matters have been settled," he said, "isn't it time to discuss my daughter's matter?"
Hearing those words, Liu Erlong's body trembled, and her brows furrowed in anger. She was sobbing uncontrollably, holding Yu Xiaogang, who was heavily injured and unconscious. Ning Fengzhi choosing this moment to pressure her was simply adding insult to injury.
Rage instantly overpowered her reason. Liu Erlong suddenly lifted her head, her eyes bloodshot. "Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School! If it weren't for you causing trouble here today, how could Xiaogang have ended up like this?!"
As she spoke, she abruptly stood up, and her black seventh Spirit Ring spiraled up from her feet. A roar that could shatter the earth erupted as black light burst forth. Amidst the churning flames, a scorching aura rushed out, and Liu Erlong's Spirit Avatar, a massive fire Dragon, suddenly materialized.
Immediately, the giant fire Dragon roared and charged directly toward Ning Fengzhi.
"Courting death!" Sword Douluo snorted coldly, a chilling killing intent flashing in his eyes. He tapped his toes lightly, his figure moving like lightning to instantly sweep in front of Ning Fengzhi. His long robe billowed as he raised his hand and violently swung it, his second Spirit Ring lighting up.
"Clangâ!" A Sword cry shook the heavens. An enormous Seven Kill Sword, shimmering with cold light, condensed out of thin air, standing upright in front of Ning Fengzhi. Its sharp Qi tore through the air, creating a piercing shriek. This was Sword Douluo's second Spirit Ability, the Spirit Sword Guard!
The next moment, Liu Erlong's flaming fire Dragon Avatar arrived with a roar, its angry flames soaring. However, when the massive Dragon head violently struck the Seven Kill Sword, the Sword body instantly erupted with a dazzling silver light, and then an unparalleled Sword Intent exploded outward.
"Boom!!" The fire Dragon Avatar was instantly repelled, and a violent shockwave swept in all directions. In mid-air, Liu Erlong was already spitting a mouthful of blood.
"A mutated Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Spirit is nothing more than this," Sword Douluo said coldly, holding the Seven Kill Sword horizontally in front of Ning Fengzhi. "If your Shrek Academy doesn't give us an explanation today, then it will cease to exist."
On the other side, Flender, who had just recovered a bit of Spirit Power, saw Liu Erlong get knocked back and quickly flashed forward to catch her, holding her steadily in his arms.
Watching the scene, Yu Luomian remained silent for a moment, then suddenly took a step forward, his figure ramrod straight. His gaze fell on Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo.
"School Master Ning," he said in a deep voice, "Shrek Academy has now merged with my Blue Tyrant Academy." He paused, letting the implication sink in. "My daughter, Erlong, is even the vice-dean of this Shrek Academy. As her father, I can't possibly just stand by and do nothing, can I?"
Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi frowned slightly, his expression immediately becoming displeased.
"I also heard about your daughter's matter just now," Yu Luomian continued. "Although the vitality in her body is damaged, which will affect her Cultivation and strength, her life is not in great danger.
"He paused, his eyes complex but showing a hint of decisiveness. "How about this, I will take out some Heaven And Earth Treasure for School Master Ning to take back. If your daughter can take them, it will surely make up for the loss and restore her to her original state."
As his words fell, he flicked his sleeve. Light flashed from within a Spirit Tool, and two different spiritual items simultaneously appeared. One was a black, fist-sized crystal. The other was a vibrant green vine.
"The black crystal is called Whale Brain, a special substance produced in the brains of whale-type Spirit Beasts. It has a very good nourishing effect on Spirit Masters. After consumption, it can strengthen the body, increase Physique, bones, and widen Meridians."
"The green vine is called Verdant Spirit Vine. It naturally carries the power of the Origin of life and is very gentle. It can repair injuries when the body's vitality is damaged with its gentle power. If it can be taken together with the Whale Brain, they will complement each other and surely allow your daughter's body to quickly recover as before."
Yu Luomian simultaneously presented these two Heaven And Earth Treasures with both hands.
Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo exchanged glances, both their expressions shifting.
"Fengzhi, what should we do next?" Sword Douluo asked in a low voice, a hint of solemnity in his eyes as he looked at Ning Fengzhi beside him.
Ning Fengzhi's expression shifted upon hearing this. He first glanced at Yu Luomian, his gaze lingering on the offered Heaven And Earth Treasures for a moment. Then, as if he sensed something, he turned his head to look at the roof in the distance.
The drunken man was still leaning against the eaves, continuously pouring wine from his gourd into his mouth, acting as if the disputes here had nothing to do with him. However, the drunken man's tipsy eyes occasionally fell in this direction, with a hint of vague coldness in them.
His mind trembled slightly, and a hint of solemnity appeared between Ning Fengzhi's brows. After a moment, he slowly withdrew his gaze.
"Since that's the case," he said in a deep voice, "I will accept these two items for now. If it's truly as you say, and they can restore my daughter to her original state, then this matter will be dropped."
With that, he gave a look to Sword Douluo beside him.
Sword Douluo understood. His eyes flickered slightly, then he stepped forward, standing tall, and extended both hands, very solemnly taking the black crystal and the green vine.
Immediately after, Yu Luomian's gaze suddenly shifted, slowly falling on Yu Xiaogang, who was lying on the ground covered in blood and almost at his last breath. At this moment, Yu Xiaogang's Qi was faint, and even his breathing was incredibly weak, as if he could die at any moment.
Walking step by step toward Yu Xiaogang, Yu Luomian looked down at the pathetic figure from above, his voice stern, every word like iron.
"Yu Xiaogang, from now on, you have been completely removed from the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan's family tree! This is a joint decision by me and my elder brother. From now on, you cannot use the surname Yu! If you dare to disobey, hmph, I will personally tear you apart by five horses!"
Hearing this, Yu Xiaogang trembled violently, his face distorted by pain and humiliation. He wanted to speak, but found that he didn't even have the strength to talk.
Coldly withdrawing his gaze, Yu Luomian slowly turned around, his sight falling on Liu Erlong in the distance.
"Erlong." After a moment of silence, Yu Luomian let out a turbid breath, his eyes red. "Today is the last time I clean up your mess. From now on, our father-daughter relationship is completely severed. If you want to avenge this useless person, feel free to come find me."
With that, without any hesitation, he flicked his sleeve and turned to walk out of the Academy. Liu Erlong's body swayed, her heart feeling as if something had ripped it apart, and she froze in place, unable to move for a long time.
