The teacher finally reacted upon hearing Ning Bei's introduction.
"Student Yu Tianheng, this is Student Ning Bei's Spirit Ability; it doesn't count as a foul. If you know you're outmatched, you can directly forfeit."
Yu Tianheng felt as awful as if he had eaten excrement after hearing the teacher's words. He had proposed the Spirit Battle himself; what would he become if he gave up now?
But if he didn't give up, how could he, with only one Spirit Ability, be a match for these two things?
Watching Yu Tianheng's expression constantly change, Ning Bei felt a burst of amusement.
"Let's see you act all high and mighty in front of me."
He then recalled the Hurricane Hunting Falcon back into the tower.
"You only have one spirit ring, so I won't bully you. You can just fight my Golden Armor War Bear."
Ning Bei's words interrupted Yu Tianheng's thoughts. Looking at the single Spirit Beast remaining, Yu Tianheng let out a sigh of relief.
"If there's only one Spirit Beast, even if I lose, it won't be too terrible."
After figuring it out, Yu Tianheng directly performed Spirit attachment. Blue lightning power emanated from his entire body, and a dragon roar appeared in everyone's ears.
"Thunderclap Claw."
After Spirit attachment, Yu Tianheng's strength and speed greatly increased. He unleashed his first Spirit Ability and charged towards the Golden Armor War Bear.
"Golden Armor War Bear, use Guardian Armor."
The Golden Armor War Bear heard Ning Bei's words and immediately became covered in a golden-yellow halo. When it clashed with Yu Tianheng's dragon claw, a grating metallic sound erupted.
A few seconds later, Yu Tianheng retreated dozens of steps, his right hand trembling continuously. Clearly, he had taken a loss in this exchange.
One must know that the Golden Armor War Bear's cultivation had already reached 860 years, equivalent to the combat power of a human Spirit Grandmaster. How could Yu Tianheng, who only had one spirit ring, possibly contend with it, even if his Spirit was the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon?
"Golden Armor War Bear, go! Use Earth-Splitting Claw."
Immediately, the Golden Armor War Bear's sharp claws were covered in a light yellow halo as it charged towards Yu Tianheng.
"Oh no!"
The referee teacher on the side saw this scene and was instantly terrified, flying forward to try and stop the Golden Armor War Bear's movement.
Yu Tianheng seemed to have been scared out of his wits by the War Bear's movement, standing rooted to the spot without reacting.
After a while, when the claw was still 5 centimeters from Yu Tianheng, Ning Bei ordered the Golden Armor War Bear to stop its attack. This also made the teacher, who had just arrived beside Yu Tianheng, breathe a sigh of relief.
"This Spirit Battle is won by Student Ning Bei."
The teacher's words startled Yu Tianheng, who was still frozen in place. He then gave a bitter smile, not being a sore loser.
"I lost. You are very strong."
Ning Bei waved his hand and smiled.
"It was just a friendly spar between classmates; it doesn't really count. When you obtain your second spirit ring, I might not be your opponent."
One lifts another in a sedan chair. Ning Bei also didn't want to make an enemy of Yu Tianheng, so he cleverly flattered him.
As expected, after hearing him, the other party's mood instantly improved significantly, and he insisted on treating Ning Bei to a meal.
This made Ning Bei exclaim inwardly: "Little brother, you're so easy to fool."
The other students, seeing that there was no more drama to watch, left the Spirit Battle arena one after another. Dugu Yan watched Ning Bei, Yu Tianheng, and the others leave, a glint in her eyes.
"Ning Bei, Summoning Tower, interesting."
After a meal, the two's addresses had already changed to Brother Ning and Brother Yu; the friendship between men was just that simple.
After bidding farewell to Yu Tianheng, Ning Bei arrived at his dormitory. The entire dormitory was about 200 square meters, a two-bedroom, one-living-room setup that Ning Bei had arranged with the principal. It had already been cleaned spotlessly by Ning Tao.
The master bedroom naturally belonged to Ning Bei, and Ning Tao consciously chose the second bedroom.
She then asked Ning Bei about his first day of school life.
Ning Bei also recounted the events of the day, making Ning Tao exclaim, "Young Master is amazing."
This flattery made Ning Bei extremely pleased. He had to admit, having someone by his side to help him show off felt really good.
The battle between Ning Bei and Yu Tianheng also reached Qian Renxue, who was disguised as Xue Qinghe. Listening to her subordinate's report, Qian Renxue fell into thought.
"Summoning Spirit Beasts to fight for him? The first few spirit rings of this Spirit are completely useless in the later stages! Spirit Beasts under ten thousand years are basically just fodder against high-level Spirit Masters."
"Forget it. With the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's capabilities, it shouldn't be difficult to get him a few Spirit Beasts close to 100,000 years in the future, and even 100,000-year Spirit Beasts aren't impossible. In that case, this Ning Bei is still worth recruiting, and his status in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is somewhat special."
Even after knowing the characteristics of the Spirit Ning Bei had revealed, Qian Renxue still decided to fully recruit him. She just wondered what her expression would be like when she found out Ning Bei had been hiding something.
After that battle, the classmates in the class also became enthusiastic towards Ning Bei. Being powerful himself and the young master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, he was worth these people actively befriending. Those who could attend the Royal Academy were all descendants of nobles, perhaps having received instructions from their Elders at home.
As for Ning Bei, his biggest gain was that he seemed to have piqued Dugu Yan's interest. These past few days, that girl had actively come to talk to him several times.
At least he had already extracted from her that her Spirit was the Jade Phosphor Serpent and that she had a Titled Douluo grandfather.
After learning that Ning Bei had two Titled Douluo grandfathers, that girl pouted again, like a pufferfish.
Slowly getting to know each other was good. Ning Bei was not in a hurry to achieve his goal; that would seem too deliberate and might alert the old poison master, which would be bad.
A week passed quietly. Early on the weekend morning, Ning Bei took Ning Tao back to Seven Treasure City.
Ning Bei, eager to return home, desperately wanted to go back and caress Ning Rongrong's delicate little face.
Fortunately, only a week had passed, and Ning Rongrong seemed to still remember him as her older brother, greeting him with a smile. This made Ning Fengzhi and Ning Mother green with envy.
"You rascal, Rongrong cried incessantly for days after you left. And now you come home, and she still recognizes you. When you go back to the academy, we'll probably suffer again."
Ning Bei, while caressing Ning Rongrong's little face, looked smugly at Ning Fengzhi.
"No choice, Dad. Being handsome just makes children like you."
Ning Fengzhi's face was covered in black lines upon hearing this.
"Put down the elixir in your hand before you speak."
After chatting, Ning Fengzhi asked about Ning Bei's academy life.
Knowing that he had made many friends, he nodded in satisfaction. As a support Spirit Master, having friends all over the World was a very commendable behavior.
He then reminded Ning Bei not to neglect his cultivation. After Ning Bei handed the Foundation Establishment Spirit Liquid he had refined this week to Ning Fengzhi, he returned the little milk dumpling in his arms to Ning Mother. After playing for a while, the little girl had already started yawning.
"Children are good. They sleep after eating."
Ning Mother rolled her eyes at Ning Bei.
"You talk as if your father and I abused you. You and your elder brother are grown up. Do you still want me to hold you and coax you to sleep like Rongrong?"
Ning Bei awkwardly scratched his head.
"No, no, it's good now."
