Chapter 71: Battle with Qian Renxue
"Alright, I'll send someone to notify Fan'er to return to the sect. Anyway, he's almost graduated, and he's already familiarized himself with the connections he needs. There's no need for him to waste time in the Heaven Dou Academy anymore."
Ning Fengzhi immediately accepted his younger son's suggestion and ordered someone to notify Ning Fan.
At this moment, Ning Rongrong, who was beside him, stared at everyone with a puffed-up expression.
"Did the duck I was about to eat just fly away?"
"Are you treating me like a sick cat? I won't act like a spoiled brat, but you guys are really pushing me too far, aren't you?"
With these thoughts in mind, the little girl immediately lay down on the ground, crying loudly. Her cries were so deafening that anyone who heard them would be brought to tears, and anyone who saw her would feel heartbroken. While crying, she was still talking back.
"Rongrong is like a neglected wildflower, you never think of me when there are benefits to be had."
"I want to quit the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and join the Blue Electric Tyrannosaurus Sect."
"Waaahhh."
The four of them looked at Ning Rongrong, who was lying on the ground and refusing to get up, with black lines on their faces. Then, Ning Fengzhi and the other two helplessly turned their eyes to Ning Bei.
"Alright, show her!"
Ning Bei sighed lightly, then walked over to Ning Rongrong.
"Huh, whose child is this? She looks so ugly when she cries!"
"Hmph, wahhh wahhh."
Seeing this wasn't working, Ning Bei pulled out another plan.
"It seems like Rongrong doesn't want the Qiluo Yujinxiang anymore, Father, let's have Big Brother use the celestial herb instead."
After speaking, Ning Bei looked toward Ning Fengzhi.
The old fox immediately understood and cleared his throat.
"I think that's a good idea. It's better than wasting the celestial herb on a girl who just knows how to cry."
Ning Rongrong, who had been lying on the ground, now looked around with her eyes rolling. Although she didn't know what the Qiluo Yujinxiang was, she could tell from its name that it was something good.
She immediately got up and gave Ning Bei and Ning Fengzhi a flattering look.
"Brother, Father, who said Rongrong only knows how to cry? I've been working hard in my cultivation too, alright? I'm already almost at level 26. By the end of this year, I'll definitely break through to the Soul Sect level."
"You see, you should give the Qiluo Yujinxiang to me."
The four of them couldn't help but laugh at how quickly the little girl's mood had changed.
"Ugh, you guys are so annoying, always picking on me."
Ning Rongrong pouted as she saw them laughing at her.
After testing his soul bone skill, Ning Bei returned to his room and summoned Ah Zhu .
"Big Brother, what's the matter? If it's for you, I'll do anything!"
Ning Bei gave her a black line look. Was this the little demon's weird sense of humor?
"I've just obtained a 100,000-year soul bone skill that can purify bloodlines. Now, I want to try if it can help soul beasts purify their bloodlines."
After hearing Ning Bei's explanation, Ah Zhu 's playful expression disappeared, and she looked at him excitedly.
"Are you saying that my bloodline can still evolve?"
"Yes, let's see if we can improve your bloodline to the level of the Human-faced Spider King."
"Then why are we still waiting? Let's do it now, I'll do anything!"
Seeing the little demon still not forgetting to tease him, Ning Bei shook his head in helplessness.
Without wasting more words, he placed his right hand directly on Ah Zhu 's forehead. A brilliant white light filled the entire room.
"Ugh..."
The power seemed to have a greater effect on soul beasts. Ah Zhu 's aura instantly grew a little stronger.
After a while, the light faded.
Ah Zhu opened her eyes excitedly.
"It really worked, I can feel my bloodline boiling."
"That's good!"
As one of the earliest soul beasts to follow him, Ah Zhu had never had access to top-tier resources because of Ah Bao 's existence. Now that he could help her, Ning Bei was very happy.
After fully understanding his purification ability, Ning Bei began his assistant-like life.
After several bloodline purifications, Ning Fan's cultivation had made significant progress. He estimated that in about half a year, the effects would start to show in his Martial Soul.
At that time, if Rongrong were to ascend to the divine realm, leaving Ning Fan as the sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would be a great choice. As for becoming the sect master himself, he had never considered it—just looking at Ning Fengzhi, who was always busy, made him reconsider.
Today, Ning Bei planned to head to Heaven Dou City to provide Qian Renxue with some foundation-building spiritual liquid.
The first batch of children she selected had already undergone their Martial Soul awakening, and the results were as expected—all of them had reached innate level 5.
Upon Ning Bei's arrival, Qian Renxue's eyes lit up with excitement.
"Your foundation-building spiritual liquid is truly effective. In a few decades, this batch of children will all likely reach Soul King level."
Ning Bei smiled but didn't let the praise from Qian Renxue go to his head.
After having dinner together and handing her the pills, Ning Bei was ready to return home.
At that moment, Qian Renxue issued a challenge.
"Ning Bei, would you like to spar with me?"
"Huh? Are you sure?"
"Yes, just like you did with that Darkgolden Terrorclaw Bear."
After the blow she received last time, Qian Renxue had been training hard over the past two years. With the help of Ning Bei's pills, she had successfully broken through to the Soul Emperor realm.
Her power increase had given her more confidence, and she was eager to challenge Ning Bei once again.
Ning Bei thought to himself, "You probably think the Darkgolden Terrorclaw Bear still has the same cultivation as two years ago. But since you're eager to offer the challenge, I won't refuse."
"Alright, where do we go?"
Qian Renxue, excited by Ning Bei's acceptance of the challenge, replied, "Follow me."
The two arrived in a forest on the outskirts of the Heaven Dou Empire. Qian Renxue immediately removed her disguise and revealed her true form.
At nearly twenty years old, she was in the prime of her beauty, even more so than three years ago.
Her stunning beauty made Ning Bei pause for a moment.
His reaction pleased Qian Renxue. After all, no woman was indifferent to her appearance.
"Hey, stop staring, let's begin."
Saying this, she activated her Martial Soul, and three pairs of golden wings appeared behind her. Two yellow, two purple, and two black—six soul rings materialized on her body.
Ning Bei turned his gaze away, thinking to himself, "I haven't visited Dugu Yan for a while. My focus is slipping."
The Dan Tower appeared, and in the next moment, Ah Bao appeared before him.
Of course, Ah Bao appeared in his beast form. The mysteries of the Shape-shifting Pills were still something Ning Bei didn't want to reveal.
"Ah Bao , play with her. Don't go too hard."
"Roar!"
Ah Bao growled and signaled that he understood.
Qian Renxue was enraged as she heard the exchange between Ning Bei and the beast.
What's going on? Are they not even going to avoid me while deliberately holding back? How much do they look down on me?
"Hmph, I don't need you to go easy on me! Angelic Roar!"
The sixth black soul ring surged, and a roar filled with energy was unleashed from her mouth. Ah Bao 's massive body trembled slightly.
"Angelic Charge!"
The scene from three years ago repeated. The energy sword in her hand shattered into countless light spots when it touched Ah Bao 's skin, dissipating into nothing.
Then, Ah Bao retracted his claws and swiped a bear paw at the little angel.
"Ah!"
Once again, Qian Renxue was knocked back several dozen meters, landing in a messy heap.
After a few seconds, Qian Renxue, who had climbed up from the ground, stared in disbelief.
"It's impossible, why hasn't the gap narrowed at all? Instead..."
Ning Bei, from a distance, shrugged.
"Don't doubt yourself. At least you've made progress in your understanding."
