Outside the Academy, Ning Fengzhi had also been fond of strolling around with Gu Rong these past few days, occasionally checking on Rongrong's cultivation. Seeing the transformation of Rongrong's Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda, his heart was overjoyed, and he would even secretly shed tears.
Among the younger generation of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, few were truly accomplished. Only Rongrong had good talent, and he placed great hopes on her. Now, under Xin's guidance, Ning Rongrong had actually broken free from the limitations of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's support role and stepped onto a completely new platform.
No one was more gratified than him. It was no exaggeration to say that he would willingly give half of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School in exchange for Rongrong's transformations.
This evening, as he and Gu Rong passed by Heart of Fire Academy, they saw a disheveled white rabbit girl running towards Heart of Fire Academy on another road, and he recognized her identity.
He had intended to take her away, but when he came to his senses, Xin had already come out.
Gu Rong glanced at a hidden corner behind him and said lightly: "There are petty villains chasing her, perhaps coveting a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring. This is a temptation that not everyone can resist."
"..."
....
"Little San, you are still too soft-hearted."
"You shouldn't have helped her unlock the chains, giving her a chance to escape, and you shouldn't have hesitated to let her go."
In the darkness, Tang Hao stared intently at the gate of Heart of Fire Academy. He dared not pursue further; a rush of blood to his head brought sharp pain to his right shoulder.
"Father, you seem to be badly injured."
"It's nothing, just a minor superficial wound."
"Father, I understand what you mean... but Xiao Wu is, after all, the one I grew up with... my younger sister. Isn't it too cold-blooded to chain her up like a wild beast...?"
In the dim light, a look of pain appeared in Tang San's eyes. On one side was his father, on the other was his childhood sweetheart, his younger sister. How should he choose?
"Foolish, can't you see it now? She is a hundred-thousand-year transformed Spirit Beast; otherwise, she couldn't run so fast. Her growth potential is limitless. From her alone, a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Bone and a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring will be born."
"If you can obtain these in the future, your strength will undergo a qualitative leap. Not to mention, behind a hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beast, there will certainly be knowledge of other high-aged Spirit Beasts, which will be of great benefit to you when hunting spirit rings for your second Spirit later."
"If her heart were with you, then so be it; everything of hers would ultimately belong to you. But her soul has betrayed you. You can only do this, and you must do this, unless you want to forever lose to the students of Heart of Fire Academy?"
"I... I want to win!"
The moment Tang San thought of losing to Heart of Fire Academy, a competitive Spirit surged from the bottom of his heart. Faced with such a defeat, how could he not want to win?
But he also felt somewhat dejected, his expression complex.
To become stronger, must one sacrifice those close to them?
Tang Hao sighed: "Alas... Parents love their children, so they plan for their long-term future. Little San, Father is also doing this for your own good. You don't understand what kind of power a hundred-thousand-year spirit ring will bring you.
I know you have feelings for that little girl. No one understands your predicament better than I do, but you must understand that this is a cruel World. If you are not strong enough, you have no right to talk about feelings."
"Forget it, she has already escaped anyway. Just don't regret your choice today in the future."
Tang Hao glanced warily at Ning Fengzhi and Gu Rong on the main road, then, taking Tang San, his figure disappeared.
