The cackling beside him instantly brightened Ning Bei's mood. He felt a surge of satisfaction.
The Blue Silver Emperor, who had intended to provoke the scumbag, was half-dead with anger at Ning Bei's words. If she hadn't been unable to defeat him, she would have bitten this bastard beside her to death. Don't think that just because you saved my life, you can treat me however you want. How can you poke someone's sore spot like that?
"Benefactor, I want to return to the Pill Tower. May I?"
With a flash of golden light, the Blue Silver Emperor disappeared from his side, returning to the Pill Tower to heal her fragile spirit. Ning Bei, meanwhile, showed a hint of disdainful smile.
"Tch, weak and loves to play."
It wasn't the Blue Silver Emperor's fault for being slow-witted. How could a hundred-thousand-year-old plant possibly compete with Ning Bei, who had experienced the information explosion era? Precisely hitting an enemy's sore spot was the talent of every prankster in his previous life.
After traveling for dozens of days, Ning Bei finally returned to the Sect he had been away from for two years. In fact, he didn't feel like he had been away from home for too long. After all, he had spent two years in an illusion. If the Three Giants of the Far North hadn't told him, he would have thought it was just a dream.
Arriving at Ning Fengzhi and his wife's residence, Huo Linglong, who hadn't seen him for two years, immediately approached with teary eyes and examined Ning Bei thoroughly. At the same time, her jade-like hands constantly stroked and searched his body, afraid that her son had suffered some injury.
"You little brat, you made your mother wait for a long time. You were gone for two years."
"Sigh, I didn't want to either. It was more than just two years; you almost didn't have a younger son."
"Hmm? That dangerous?"
Hearing this, the smile on Ning Fengzhi's face instantly froze, replaced by endless solemnity. No one knew Ning Bei's strength better than him. Even so, he almost didn't make it back. He couldn't even imagine what his son had gone through in those two years.
"It wasn't as dangerous as you think, but it's easy to get lost in it. After all, it's a test of the mind. It's easy to get stuck in an infinite loop."
"So that's how it is."
Hearing that Ning Bei hadn't experienced any bitter battles or powerful enemies, Ning Fengzhi and Huo Linglong instantly breathed a sigh of relief, inwardly exclaiming how strange inheriting a divine position was.
After calming down, Ning Fengzhi also asked the question he was most concerned about at the moment:
"Have you become a god?"
"No, it will take two years for all the Soul Bones to transform into the Ice God Set. At that time, the next stage of the test will begin. I don't know if that's the final test."
Shaking his head, denying Ning Fengzhi's guess, Ning Bei explained the current situation of the God Test. This made Ning Fengzhi slightly disappointed for a moment.
"That's fine too. You don't need to rush. If even with your strength you can't become a god, then no one on this continent should have a connection with a divine position."
After chatting with Huo Linglong for a while and having dinner in the evening, Ning Bei finally got a moment to breathe. After putting everything behind him and sleeping soundly for a night, he didn't slowly get up and wash up until Ning Fengzhi sent someone to urge him. Then he went to the Council Hall.
Besides Ning Fengzhi, Sword, and Bone, Ning Bei also saw a figure that surprised him yet made sense.
"Second Young Master."
"Your God Test has begun?"
This person was A'Dai, whom Ning Bei had sent to the Death Canyon two years ago to undergo the God of Death Test. Now, he had returned to the Sect before him. When the God Test was mentioned, a simple smile appeared on A'Dai's face. He scratched his head and said:
"Yes, Second Young Master. Thanks to you, I have completed the first test of the God of Death."
"Oh? That's quite good? Do you find it difficult? And what did you gain from the first test?"
At this, the smile on A'Dai's face grew even wider. A circle of dark gray domain unfolded beneath his feet, and Ning Bei immediately felt a faint sense of pressure in his spiritual sea.
"Hmm, being able to suppress the opponent's spiritual power is not bad, but it shouldn't be just this much power, right?"
"Yes, Second Young Master. This is the Death Domain obtained after completing the first God Test. Within the domain, the life and death of beings weaker than me are directly controlled by me, while enemies stronger than me will have their spiritual power suppressed. At the same time, the domain can also increase the power of all my Soul Skills by nearly eighty percent, and it may increase as my strength improves."
Upon hearing this, both Sword and Bone revealed expressions of envy, while Ning Fengzhi remained expressionless, clearly having known about A'Dai's domain's effect long ago.
Ning Bei smacked his lips. He always felt that the other party's domain was stronger than his own, but the Eternal Frozen Domain clearly still had room for improvement. He didn't feel any envy at all; he genuinely didn't feel any envy at all, truly, completely without any envy.
"Very good. Has the second test been issued?"
"Yes, Second Young Master. My second test is to break through to level 80 within 3 years. There are still two years left."
Hearing this, Ning Bei sensed A'Dai's Soul Power fluctuations and found that he had reached the threshold of level 74. Breaking through to level 80 in two years, while difficult, was not impossible.
"Hmm, then you must work hard. The opportunity is right at your doorstep. If you don't seize it, you will regret it for the rest of your life."
"Yes, Second Young Master. A'Dai will not slack off."
A'Dai responded seriously, and Bone Douluo behind him also spoke up for him at the right time.
"He only came out to see you today because he knew you were back. Normally, he stays in his room and cultivates all day long. Food and drink are delivered to him. He can't work any harder. You can rest assured."
As Soul Masters with the same evil attribute, Gu Rong had a good impression of A'Dai and was very optimistic about his future.
Hearing Gu Rong say this, Ning Bei instantly changed his words.
"Then you should also pay attention to balancing work and rest. Although your mental strength has made great progress, you can't withstand continuous cultivation."
"I know, Second Young Master. I will stop and rest when I feel I've reached my limit."
"Okay."
After a conversation, A'Dai rushed back home again to begin his cultivation journey, and Ning Fengzhi also timely stated the purpose of calling Ning Bei over. This surprised him a little; he had thought Ning Fengzhi had called him just to see A'Dai.
"Ma Yinglong has brought two friends of his, one of whom is his distant cousin. Their strength and talent are quite good."
Ning Bei raised his eyebrows, becoming even more puzzled. Logically, there was no need to discuss such matters with him, as he never concerned himself with these things. After thinking it over, he felt that Ning Fengzhi wouldn't specifically seek him out for such a small matter, so Ning Bei immediately voiced the question in his heart:
"Is there something wrong with those two people?"
"Yes, you know both of them, so I wanted to ask for your opinion."
"Oh?"
Hearing that he knew them, Ning Bei became interested for a moment. Then Ning Fengzhi said two names that surprised him, and to prevent him from forgetting them, he also included their Spirit information.
"They were members of the group with Tang San in the Soul Master Competition. One is named Ma Hongjun and has the Phoenix Spirit, and the other is named Oscar and has a mutated Sausage Spirit. By the way, he is a support Soul Master with innate full Soul Power."
"It's them. Didn't they choose to go to Shrek Academy to start their teaching careers?"
Their arrival made Ning Bei feel a little surprised. Logically, after traveling the continent, they should have returned to Shrek Academy. Why had they come to seek refuge in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect now?
