Ning Rongrong is doing well; she's practicing relatively easy types of exercises.
Unlike Gu Nanfeng and Gu Shuangyue, the brother and sister who both specialize in swordsmanship have their days packed with activities.
Now that he has finally gained his father's approval and can venture out into the world, Gu Nanfeng has no desire to go back to that dull, tedious life where he is exhausted every day.
"Then it's settled."
Ning Rongrong raised her palm, and Gu Nanfeng chuckled as he did so, giving her a high five.
"Rongrong, what did you agree on? You seem so happy."
Just then, Ning Fengzhi walked over with Bone Douluo, his face bearing the unique smile of an old father, his eyes filled with affection for Ning Rongrong.
"Dad, Grandpa Bone."
Ning Rongrong ran up and greeted the two of them affectionately.
"Uncle Ning, Grandpa Gu."
Nanfeng and Zhu Zhuqing also stepped forward to greet them.
"Hmm, Nanfeng, Zhuqing, Rongrong didn't cause you any trouble, did she?"
Ning Fengzhi looked at the two of them with concern, his gaze mainly fixed on Gu Nanfeng's face.
Ning Fengzhi overheard part of the conversation between the three of them.
Seeing how much Nanfeng indulged Rongrong, he liked the child even more.
"Uh, Uncle Ning, what are you saying? Rongrong is such a lively person around us. Without her, we don't know how boring we would be."
Gu Nanfeng felt a little awkward under Ning Fengzhi's fatherly expression, but there was nothing he could do; he couldn't just ignore him.
"Dad, Nanfeng and I are planning to participate in this competition. Just wait and see if we win the championship!"
Ning Rongrong clenched her fists, full of confidence.
A glint of light flashed in Ning Fengzhi's eyes as he smiled and said, "Rongrong, it's good to have confidence, but this competition will probably be different from the past. You can't underestimate anyone. There are always people better than you, so don't take your opponents lightly."
"Yes, Uncle Ning is right. We are also looking forward to this competition and how many young masters we will meet."
Gu Nanfeng thought of his younger sister who had gone to Tianshui Academy. If she also participated in the competition, then this competition would indeed be very interesting.
Ning Fengzhi was very satisfied with Gu Nanfeng's attitude; he was neither arrogant nor impatient, showing the same qualities as his father.
Ning Fengzhi then stopped disturbing the young people's interaction and led Gu Rong to the main hall, where he found Chen Xin.
“Uncle Jian, I have read your previous letter, and you did the right thing.”
Ning Fengzhi had already learned about what happened at Shrek Academy from Chen Xin's letter.
It's unexpected that after so many years, Tang Hao has already become a Super Douluo. It's very likely that his older brother is no weaker than him at this point.
In other words, the reclusive Haotian Sect at this time had at least two Douluo, both of whom were above level 95.
Ning Fengzhi was very supportive of Chen Xin's decision to let go of the 100,000-year-old soul beast beside Tang Hao.
With Tang Hao, whose combat power rivals that of a level 98 cultivator, plus Tang Xiao, whose strength is still unknown, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, while not afraid of the opponent, would not fight to the death for a mere 100,000-year-old soul beast.
The struggle between two powerful forces will inevitably result in mutual destruction, which is bad for both sides.
Although Ning Fengzhi is the Grand Elder of Tianxia Pavilion, Tianxia Pavilion is, to put it bluntly, a place provided by the Empire for various forces to quarrel. If two parties have a conflict, it would be good enough if other forces didn't kick you when you're down; don't expect them to help you.
Similarly, if the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Haotian School were to clash, based on his understanding of Gu Han, the latter would definitely sit back and watch the two fight, at most ensuring Ning Rongrong's safety.
Other forces might even fan the flames and seize the opportunity to take some of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's assets from the Empire. Such infighting would only bring immeasurable losses to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, which is something Ning Fengzhi does not want to see.
Ning Fengzhi had his own scale in mind between long-term and stable interests and short-term interests that carried great risks.
"Coward, you're a level 98, and you can't even take down Tang Hao, who's only level 96? Are your old bones failing you?"
Even at this moment, Gu Rong didn't forget to mock his old friend. There was no malice in it; he just wanted to ridicule him.
Upon hearing this, Chen Xin's face darkened, and he didn't hold back, immediately retorting, "If you're itching for a fight, my sword can help you scratch it."
"Haha, all you know how to do is bully me. If you're so capable, wait until I break through to level 96."
"Ahem, Uncle Jian"
"Hmph, even if you break through to level 96, I'll still beat you up, you weakling."
"Uncle Bone."
"What did you say? Come on, let's go outside and try out my ninth soul skill, let me show you if I'm a weakling!!"
"Calm down, all of you."
"Tsk, they're in such a hurry. Let's go, let's give it a try."
The two left the main hall amidst their bickering, and soon after, terrifying fluctuations of soul power emanated from the back mountain.
Ning Fengzhi sighed helplessly.
"It's really the same as always."
Chapter 402 Gu Shuangyue and the Tianshui Group
Northern Lands, Element City, Tianshui Academy.
Gu Shuangyue's arrival brought great excitement to the academy.
The daughters of the current emperor and pope may not mean much to the Soul Master world, but if you say that she is the daughter of the two Limit Douluos recognized as the strongest in the current Soul Master world, then that will show the weight of her status.
Gu Shuangyue has fair and rosy skin, delicate features, a straight nose, red lips and white teeth, and bright red eyes like stars. Her eyebrows have a touch of heroism, which makes her look even more aloof and beautiful, yet also gentle.
The clothes are mainly black, dark blue, and moon white, decorated with classical patterns such as cloud patterns and meander patterns, with a cool and aloof style.
She wore a fitted, high-necked robe with light armor on the shoulders and floral sleeves. The sides and back of the robe were openwork, and she wore a light-colored, petal-shaped pleated skirt underneath. There was a palm-sized moon decoration at her waist.
The top features a split-leaf ribbon at the waist, with patterns depicting the phases of the moon from crescent to full moon.
She wore fitted over-the-knee boots, which made her look sleek and tall.
Her long, white hair with a hint of light blue was styled into a rounded bun and secured with a blue hairband; the hair was smooth and flowing.
"Wow, she has such a cool and aloof aura, and she's so beautiful. Sister Bing'er, your title of the most beautiful woman in Tianshui is going to be taken away."
Shuiyue first compared the portrait given by Guangling, and after confirming that it was Gu Shuangyue herself, she exclaimed in amazement, her eyes sparkling. She even nudged her sister next to her with her arm and teased her.
Shui Bing'er ignored the other person and stared at Gu Shuangyue with a probing look in her eyes.
"I wonder if His Majesty and His Holiness the Pope's daughter is as strong as those two, able to sweep away experts of the same level."
"How about we try contacting her?" Xuewu suggested.
“That makes sense. You guys go ahead. I’m too weak, so I won’t participate.” Gu Qingbo indicated that she was just a minor Great Soul Master and would rather just watch from the sidelines.
Shui Bing'er shook her head and said, "It would be too impolite to go and challenge them directly. Let's go up and get to know each other first, make friends. There's no rush to spar. We can have time to get to know each other later."
"Sister, you're so thoughtful."
Shuiyue gave a thumbs up. Come to think of it, they didn't even know each other yet. If it were her, and she was walking along when suddenly a group of people stopped her and said they wanted to challenge her, even if they didn't mean any harm, her first impression would definitely not be good.
As Gu Shuangyue walked toward the principal's office, she paid no attention to the stares around her and began to observe the academy's architecture.
The architecture resembles a European castle; upon entering the academy gates, the first thing that catches the eye is a statue of her father.
Well, it's true, you can see statues of your father everywhere.
Gu Shuangyue shook her head, but she had to admit that the sword in the statue's hand was more lifelike than any she had seen elsewhere.
Below the statue is a circular fountain, which looks strange but has an indescribable sense of naturalness. I don't know whose aesthetic sense it is.
Guangling: That's right, it is I.
Further on was the teaching building, with a white base and black and blue decorations, which suited her aesthetic quite well.
She should have enrolled here last year, but her father insisted that she learn everything she was supposed to learn, so it was delayed for another year before she finally came to Tianshui Academy, which Senior Guangling had praised so highly.
In retrospect, it was only her first impression of the appearance that made her so fond of it.
Just then, seven beautiful women with different styles walked towards her and blocked her way.
Before Gu Shuangyue could ask, Shui Bing'er smiled politely and extended her hand.
"Hello, my name is Shui Bing'er. You must be Princess Gu Shuangyue. Senior Guang Ling asked us to come here to welcome you."
Shui Bing'er possesses an intellectual and gentle temperament, especially her soft eyes, which further enhance her gentle and mature demeanor.
Gu Shuangyue reached out and shook hands with Shui Bing'er. The other's small hand was soft and delicate, not cold as she had imagined, but warm.
"Hello, thank you for your trouble, but I dare not accept the title of princess. After all, the Martial Soul Empire is not hereditary, and princesses and princes are all things of the past."
"Hehehe, I was just joking. Let me introduce you to my friends."
Shui Bing'er was surprised that the other person, who looked so aloof, was actually quite honest. She covered her mouth and chuckled, then, to avoid an awkward silence, she didn't continue the topic and instead gestured to her six friends.
"Xue Wu, she is my best partner. Her martial soul is Xue Wu, a level 36 support-type battle soul."
"A support-type Battle Soul Master?"
Gu Shuangyue tilted her head in confusion. She could understand the terms "support type" and "battle spirit master" when they were separated, but when they were put together, they were quite surprising. She had never heard of a support spirit with offensive capabilities before.
"Well, my martial soul is quite special. It's a mutation of the snowflake martial soul. It can be used to attack with ice elements, and it can also be used to amplify the ice element for teammates of the same attribute," Xue Wu explained.
Gu Shuangyue pinched her chin and nodded knowingly: "So that's how it is, it's really amazing."
My father is right. The outside world is wonderful, with many interesting things that are not recorded in books.
"she is."
"Hi, my name is Shui Yue'er. I am Bing'er's half-sister. My martial soul is the Jade Dolphin, and I am a level 27 agility-type Great Soul Master."
Before Shui Bing'er could speak, Shui Yue'er stepped forward and took Gu Shuangyue's right hand in both hands, introducing herself. Compared to Shui Bing'er, she was more lively and cheerful.
"Hello."
Gu Shuangyue smiled, thinking that this girl and Rongrong must get along very well.
"Yu Hairou, a level 35 offensive-type Battle Soul Master, whose Martial Soul is the Coral Barracuda."
"Shen Liuyu, a level 31 offensive-type Battle Soul Master, whose Martial Soul is the Enamel Crocodile."
"Qiu Ruoshui, a level 29 offensive-type Battle Soul Master, whose Martial Soul is Azure Wave Perch."
"Gu Qingbo, a level 29 agility-attack type Battle Soul Master, with the Martial Soul Azure Flagfish."
