Kapitel 90: Slap
"Those who wish to challenge me, step onto the stage!"
Chi Yu's expression was cold, her tone steady and measured.
Those familiar with Zhongli would notice that Chi Yu's speech and tone were not exactly the same as his, but they were at least eighty percent similar.
She stood on the stage, like a snow lotus from the extreme north—proud and aloof, yet not overly delicate.
Her face was devoid of makeup, yet she outshone countless refined appearances.
Upon hearing Chi Yu's words, Ning Fengzhi finally relaxed his tense nerves.
As long as Zhongli, Paimon, and Chi Yu didn't mind the situation, then it could be considered resolved.
Once he returned to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, he would properly educate Ning Rongrong.
Lately, he had been far too lenient with Ning Rongrong!
If she continued to behave this way, the great Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect might not have a place for her.
A family and a sect are not the same, although they are somewhat similar.
At home, one can be willful, can be mischievous.
But in a sect, responsibilities fall upon your shoulders.
The development of the sect, the selection of disciples, the future of the sect…
Right now, Ning Rongrong was even more immature than when she left the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect!
"Flender, you've taught her very well."
Ning Fengzhi cast a faint glance at Flender, silently remarking to himself.
Shaking his head, he temporarily put the matter aside, intending to address it after the apprentice ceremony was over.
Ning Fengzhi exchanged a glance with the nearby Chen Xin and nodded.
Chen Xin's expression had also been quite colorful earlier; when Ning Rongrong was taken away, he hadn't said a word, as if he hadn't even noticed.
After all, Ning Fengzhi was the sect master; he had to maintain face when out in public.
In truth, Ning Fengzhi hadn't done anything wrong in this situation; his actions could be considered flawless.
"I apologize on behalf of my daughter's recklessness, and for disturbing everyone's enjoyment," Ning Fengzhi said, taking out an ancient box from his storage soul tool.
He continued, "This is a three-thousand-year-old left arm soul bone, from a Wind Spirit Wolf."
"Ning offers it as a gesture of goodwill."
He gave a signal to the maid beside him.
The maid, seeing the signal, quickly took the box and walked toward the platform.
At this moment, the crowd gasped in shock.
Miss Ning's single remark had cost her father a thousand-year soul bone!
As the soul bone was presented, everyone's breathing grew heavier, and their eyes gradually reddened.
This was a soul bone—no matter that it was merely a thousand-year soul bone, its value was hard to measure in gold soul coins.
A soul bone could be traded for gold soul coins, but gold soul coins couldn't necessarily buy a soul bone.
This soul bone had originally been prepared by Ning Fengzhi as a gift, and if it weren't so, he wouldn't have carried it with him.
Using it now as an apology was just right.
Emperor Xue Ye turned his head and glanced at Ning Fengzhi, a trace of disdain flashing in his eyes.
A three-thousand-year soul bone?
Heh…
They say Ning Fengzhi is a savvy investor, but his vision is ultimately limited, or perhaps he simply can't be too lavish, considering he has a sect to support.
But Xue Ye was different; his investments were the real deal!
A thousand-year soul bone was enough to make many powerful soul masters personally intervene in the soul master world.
Even if they didn't use it themselves, their descendants or disciples could surely benefit from it.
Hu Yanzhen, the patriarch of the Elephant Armored Clan, one of the lower four sects—his grandson's head soul bone was only a thousand-year soul bone.
With the soul bone as a prize, those who previously didn't want to offend the three education committee members could no longer hold back.
Before they could make a move, Shrek's side acted first.
Dai Mubai walked onto the stage with a peculiar expression, feeling conflicted and unsure of what to say.
Ning Fengzhi was Ning Rongrong's father, and more importantly, the sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. Even though he was the third prince of the Star Luo Empire, he dared not offend the other party.
This was also the reason why he had remained silent earlier.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was not someone he could afford to offend, but the other side wasn't easy to offend either.
Didn't you see even Ning Fengzhi was apologizing?
His original intention was to go on stage to challenge Chi Yu, defeat her, and see if there was a chance to get close to her.
But he never expected Ning Rongrong, who was supposed to be a good support, to make the situation so awkward.
"Shrek Academy student, Dai Mubai."
Dai Mubai spoke with great flair, deciding to temporarily ignore Ning Rongrong's situation since he was already here.
"Sixteen years old, level thirty-nine, assault-type battle soul master."
"Miss Chi Yu, may I challenge you?"
Dai Mubai brushed his golden hair from his forehead, looking very dashing, with a bit of a noble demeanor.
Hearing this, Chi Yu shook her head expressionlessly.
Dai Mubai was stunned and instinctively said, "What, you refuse?"
"Yes, you're not worthy. My strength far surpasses yours."
Chi Yu's expression didn't change, as if she were stating something perfectly ordinary.
Everyone was dumbfounded. While Dai Mubai seemed a bit flamboyant, his age and strength made him quite outstanding among his peers.
Yet Chi Yu said he wasn't worthy…
Especially with that innocent and sincere expression on her face.
She was simply stating a fact.
Dai Mubai was at a loss for words, his mouth slightly open, wanting to say something but unable to.
It truly felt like he was sitting on pins and needles, as if something were stuck in his throat!
"My dear disciple, this is a challenge; you can't refuse!"
At this moment, Bai Baoshan "reminded" Chi Yu.
It was unclear whether he did it on purpose, but his reminder was a bit loud.
"Understood, teacher."
After hearing this, Chi Yu responded to Bai Baoshan and then looked back at Dai Mubai.
"Make your move."
Dai Mubai: "…"
He was already someone prone to anger, and being treated like this made his anger skyrocket!
He had originally come to make a statement, but even after changing his mind, the other party still disrespected him!
"Fine, fine, fine!"
Dai Mubai almost laughed out of anger. At his young age, he had already reached level thirty-nine.
Although he was slightly behind top-tier talents like Tang San and Xiao Wu, compared to others his age, he was already a genius among geniuses.
But he never expected to be so disregarded!
Why think so much? Just defeat her first!
At that time, he wanted to see what Chi Yu would have to say.
"In that case, I won't hold back!"
Dai Mubai said with a somewhat ferocious expression.
At this age and with such soul power, the other high-level soul master academy students nodded in approval.
This blond young man had every right to be arrogant!
"My martial spirit…"
"Slap…"
Just as Dai Mubai was about to activate his martial spirit, he felt a sharp pain on his left cheek, as if he saw a slender jade hand giving him a backhanded slap!
This slap caused Dai Mubai to lose his balance and sent him "flying."
"???"
With another "slap…", a forward slap followed.
Dai Mubai's body was sent back to its original position.
If it weren't for the palm prints and pain on his face, Dai Mubai would have been completely confused.
To think that just now, there had been a distance of over thirty meters between him and Chi Yu.
Without releasing her martial spirit, she had somehow appeared in front of him in an instant and slapped him twice!
