章 39: Chapter 36 Ning Fengzhi's Plan, Tang San's Life for a Life_1
"They're back, they're back~"
In front of Shrek Academy, Ning Rongrong looked at the two figures emerging side by side from the dense forest, her face alight with joy.
Without a doubt, they were Qin Xiao and Sword Douluo.
"That's great, neither of them is missing an arm or a leg."
Upon closer inspection, Ning Rongrong exclaimed excitedly, feeling that this was a very happy occurrence.
Qin Xiao: ┐(ﾟ～ﾟ)┌.
Sword Douluo: Why do I always feel like you're hoping something happened to us?
"Sect Master Ning."
After advancing a few more steps, Qin Xiao greeted Ning Fengzhi from afar with a clasped fist salute, "I've overextended myself with Senior Sword and need to urgently return for recovery, so I won't keep you company."
"Of course!"
Hearing this, Sect Master Ning smiled slightly and returned the salute to Qin Xiao.
What the hell?
You're saying you overextended yourself?
In contrast, upon hearing Qin Xiao's words, the corners of Sword Douluo's mouth twitched unconsciously.
He knew just how heaven-defying this kid was, capable of refining Thunderous Force into pure Soul Power. What was called 'Soul Power exhaustion' to others would be half-restored by Qin Xiao after getting struck by lightning a couple of times.
If he wanted to fully recover, it wouldn't be hard either.
Just a matter of getting struck for a little longer...
"Senior Sword, I bid you farewell."
Qin Xiao saluted Sword Douluo with another clasped fist.
"Hmph, you've taken the Gold Coins, and you've gained the battle experience; don't think I don't know you're just trying to take advantage and leave with a slap on the butt," Sword Douluo grumbled discontentedly.
But would Qin Xiao care about what he said?
Clearly not!
After leaving behind a 'see you later,' Qin Xiao turned around dashing away decisively.
"This kid, how can he be so arrogant?"
Sword Douluo was totally nonplussed.
A complete mess in the wind.
"Daddy, Grandpa Sword, I just remembered that the academy's mealtime is starting, and if I go back late, I will be hungry," said Ning Rongrong.
"Goodbye."
When it rains, it pours, thought Ning Rongrong, the drafty little padded jacket, as she suddenly spoke, her eyes twinkling.
Without even waiting for Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo to nod, she had already chased after the figure of Qin Xiao.
As she ran, she called out, "Your Highness, wait for me...."
...
"That girl..."
Sword Douluo was stunned and completely lost for words.
Ning Fengzhi merely shook his head helplessly, unable to stop himself from lamenting, "A grown daughter can't be kept at home."
"Let's not bother with them for now."
Ning Fengzhi withdrew his gaze, turned to Sword Douluo, and said with some emotion, "It's surprising that such a young hero like Qin Xiao has such strong combat power. It was so difficult for you, Uncle Jian, to use the God and Devil Cut and still win the battle."
In his eyes, since Sword Douluo had used such a powerful soul skill, losing was not a possibility.
"Win?"
Upon hearing Ning Fengzhi's words, Sword Douluo shook his head with a bitter expression, "Sect Master, you're mistaken, I did not win against that kid who gets struck by lightning."
"What?"
"You didn't win?"
"I thought I had already rated Qin Xiao highly enough, but it seems I have underestimated him," Ning Fengzhi exclaimed in shock, "Unbelievable, truly unbelievable. I'm really curious to know what kind of ace he holds to be able to fight you to a standstill!"
"Sect Master, you might as well stop guessing..."
"There was no tie between Qin Xiao and me."
"I lost."
Every guess Ning Fengzhi made made Sword Douluo feel mocked.
So rather than waiting for Ning Fengzhi to ask, Sword Douluo simply laid out the truth.
"What!"
"You are level 96 Titled Douluo, even comparable to a formidable existence of level 97, and you lost!"
Even the calm and collected Ning Fengzhi was utterly astounded!
He couldn't imagine just how outstanding that young man was.
I don't remember the last time I saw Sect Master showing such shock... Sword Douluo inwardly sighed.
"Sect Master, I really didn't deceive you about this matter. Even during the battle with that kid who gets struck by lightning, I didn't hold back anything."
"I've lived for so many years and seen countless prodigies, but even the most exceptional of them is not one-tenth as good as him. He's truly heaven-defying; this kid will surely achieve great success, and even I will have to look up to his achievements!" Sword Douluo's voice was filled with admiration.
He had once considered himself a genius and took pride in that, but now compared to Qin Xiao, did his past achievements even count?
They seemed too pale and powerless.
Sigh...
After a long while, Ning Fengzhi finally took a deep breath, "Now I have no choice but to re-plan his strategy, I have to bet big!"
Hearing this, Sword Douluo's eyebrows slightly furrowed, "Sect Master, you've already given him One Million Gold Soul Coins, which is a tremendous favor."
"If we get any closer to him, I'm afraid it might cause trouble. After all, Rongrong said before that Qin Xiao has a considerable grudge with Tang Hao... and behind Tang Hao is the Hao Tian Clan..."
At that comment, Ning Fengzhi smiled slightly, "Are you worried that getting close to Qin Xiao will displease the Hao Tian Clan, Uncle Jian?"
"It's often said that the upper three families are of the same branch..." Sword Douluo hesitated before speaking.
"Hahaha, the upper three families are of the same branch?"
"Now it seems like nothing but a joke..."
Ning Fengzhi laughed, "When the Hao Tian Clan offended Martial Soul Hall, they immediately holed up and even abandoned the four loyal Soul Master Families supporting them; what else wouldn't they abandon? The so-called same branch is nothing more than a verbal alliance among the three major sects..."
"Then, Sect Master, what are your plans...?"
Sword Douluo's pupils contracted slightly, and he had already begun to faintly guess Ning Fengzhi's thoughts.
"Of course, it is to spare no effort to recruit Qin Xiao into our Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect!"
