"Those who wish to challenge me, please step onto the stage!"
Chi Yu's expression was cold, her speech neither slow nor slow.
Those familiar with Zhong Li would notice that Chi Yu's tone and pace of speech, while not exactly identical, were remarkably similar.
Standing on the stage, she resembled a snow lotus from the far north, aloof yet not alluring.
Her face was unadorned, yet surpassed countless exquisite makeup looks.
After hearing Chi Yu's first sentence, Ning Fengzhi's tense nerves finally relaxed.
As long as Zhong Li, Paimeng, and Chi Yu didn't care about this matter, then it would be over.
When he returned to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, he would properly discipline Ning Rongrong. He
had been far too indulgent with Ning Rongrong during this time!
If she continued like this, the vast Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would likely have no place for her.
Home and sect are different, although they are essentially the same.
At home, one can be willful and mischievous.
But in a sect, responsibility falls on one's shoulders.
The development of the sect, the selection of disciples, the future of the sect…
Ning Rongrong is now even more immature than when she left the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!
"Flander, you've taught her very well,"
Ning Fengzhi thought to himself, glancing at Flander with a wistful look.
He shook his head, putting the matter aside for now, to be dealt with after the disciple-acceptance ceremony.
Ning Fengzhi exchanged a glance with Chen Xin beside him and nodded.
Chen Xin's expression had been quite interesting earlier; he hadn't said a word when Ning Rongrong was taken away, as if he hadn't seen anything. Ning Fengzhi was, after all, the sect leader, and
he had to give him face when they were out in public.
That said, Ning Fengzhi hadn't done anything wrong; his actions were practically perfect.
"I apologize for my daughter's recklessness, for disturbing everyone's enjoyment,"
Ning Fengzhi said, taking out an ancient-looking box from his storage soul tool.
He continued, "This is a left arm soul bone over three thousand years old, from a Wind Spirit Wolf."
"I'll use it as a little something extra,"
Ning Fengzhi said
, giving a wink to the maid beside him. The maid quickly carried the box towards the platform.
At that moment, everyone gasped.
With just one sentence from Miss Ning, her father had to pay with a thousand-year-old soul bone!
The moment the soul bone was revealed, everyone's breathing became heavier, and their eyes gradually reddened.
This was a soul bone! Even a thousand-year-old soul bone was worth far more than gold soul coins.
Soul bones could be traded for gold soul coins, but gold soul coins couldn't necessarily buy soul bones.
This soul bone was originally a gift prepared by Ning Fengzhi; otherwise, he wouldn't have carried it with him.
Using it as an apology was just right.
Emperor Xueye turned to look at Ning Fengzhi, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.
A three-thousand-year-old soul bone?
Heh…
Everyone says Ning Fengzhi is good at investing, but his vision is ultimately limited, or rather, he can't be "extravagant," after all, he still has people in his sect to support.
But Xue Ye is different; his investments are true investments!
A thousand-year-old soul bone, in the world of soul masters, is enough for many powerful figures to personally engage in battle.
Even if they don't use it themselves, their descendants and disciples can always use it.
Hu Yanzhen, the sect master of the Elephant Armor Sect, one of the four lower sects. His grandson's head soul bone is only a thousand-year-old soul bone.
With a soul bone as a prize, those who didn't want to offend the three members of the teaching committee before no longer care.
Before they could make a move, Shrek Academy took the lead.
Dai Mubai walked onto the high platform with a strange expression. He was very conflicted, not knowing what to say.
Ning Fengzhi is Ning Rongrong's father and the sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Even though he is the third prince of the Star Luo Empire, he doesn't dare to offend him.
This is also the reason why he hadn't "spoken up" before.
He couldn't afford to offend the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, but the other side wasn't so easy to offend either.
Didn't he see Ning Fengzhi apologizing?
His original intention was to challenge Chi Yu on stage, defeat her, and then see if he could have a chance to win her heart.
He never expected that Ning Rongrong, his good assistant, would make the situation so awkward.
"Shrek Academy student, Dai Mubai."
Dai Mubai said very casually. Since he was already here, he didn't want to think about Ning Rongrong for the time being.
"Sixteen years old this year, level thirty-nine, a powerful attack-type Battle Soul Master."
"Miss Chi Yu, may I challenge you?"
Dai Mubai flicked his golden hair, looking very dashing, with a bit of a noble air.
Hearing this, Chi Yu shook her head expressionlessly.
Dai Mubai was stunned and subconsciously said, "What, you refuse?"
"Yes, you are not worthy. My strength is completely above yours."
Chi Yu's expression remained unchanged, as if she were saying something perfectly normal.
Everyone was dumbfounded. Dai Mubai seemed a bit flamboyant, but his age and strength were outstanding among his peers.
Yet Chi Yu actually said he wasn't worthy…
especially with her innocent and sincere expression.
She was simply stating a fact.
Dai Mubai was completely numb. His mouth opened slightly, wanting to say something, but he couldn't utter a word.
He truly felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, like a fishbone stuck in his throat!
"Good disciple, this is a challenge, you can't refuse!"
At this moment, Bai Baoshan "reminded" Chi Yu.
Whether he did it on purpose or not, his reminder was a little loud.
"Okay, teacher, I understand."
After hearing this, Chi Yu replied to Bai Baoshan and then looked at Dai Mubai.
"Make your move."
Dai Mubai: "…"
He was an easily angered person, and being treated like this, his anger level skyrocketed! He
originally came to settle scores, and he had even changed his mind earlier, but he didn't expect the other party to be so shameless!
"Fine, fine, fine!"
Dai Mubai almost laughed in anger. He was young and promising, reaching level thirty-nine before the age of seventeen.
Although he was slightly behind top geniuses like Tang San and Xiao Wu, compared to his peers, he was already a genius among geniuses.
He never expected the other party to be so dismissive!
Why think so much? He'd defeat the opponent first!
Then he'd see what Chi Yu had to say.
"Since that's the case, then I won't hold back!"
Dai Mubai said, his face somewhat ferocious.
At this age, with this level of soul power, the other advanced soul master academy students nodded in approval.
This blond-haired young man had the right to be arrogant!
"Martial Soul..."
"Slap..."
Just as Dai Mubai was about to activate his Martial Soul, he felt a sharp pain on his left cheek, as if he saw a slender hand slap him!
This slap made Dai Mubai lose his balance and "fly" into the air.
"???"
"Slap..." Another slap followed.
Dai Mubai's body returned to its original position.
If it weren't for the slap marks and pain on his face, Dai Mubai would still be in a daze.
Just moments ago, he and Chi Yu were over 30 meters apart.
Without even releasing her martial spirit, she had instantly appeared in front of him and slapped him twice!
