"Your Highness the Crown Prince, Uncle Ning, please come inside and sit,"
Ye Fan said as he guided Xue Qinghe and Ning Fengzhi toward the barracks.
Ning Fengzhi smiled and shook his head. "We won't sit down. We just came to take a look."
"Where is Rongrong? I haven't seen that girl for a while, and I really miss her."
"Dad."
Ning Rongrong's voice sounded at just the right moment.
Her delicate figure ran out from the barracks. "Why are you here?"
She rushed straight into Ning Fengzhi's arms, her face full of excitement.
At this time, the others also walked out of the rooms.
Xue Qinghe gestured a "keep quiet" sign to Ye Fan.
Ye Fan immediately understood—he did not want to expose his identity.
He had come alone to recruit him.
Naturally, it was not convenient to introduce him.
Flander stepped forward. "Sect Master Ning, hello."
Ning Fengzhi smiled and said, "Headmaster Flander, we were passing by and heard that you had already settled in, so we came to take a look."
"At the same time, I have a small request."
"Oh? Sect Master Ning, please speak."
Flander looked at this influential figure of the Seven Great Sects with some surprise.
He did not understand what kind of matter would require Ning Fengzhi to ask him for help.
Ning Fengzhi said, "Rongrong has received much care and guidance from the headmaster and the teachers at your academy. Her strength has improved by leaps and bounds, far stronger than when she was in the sect."
"It seems that the internal educational system of our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect still has major problems."
"So, I would like, when your academy starts next semester,"
"to send some young disciples of the sect to Shrek Academy to study. I wonder if that would be convenient?"
"What?"
Flander thought he had heard wrong.
Compared with the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, the status of Shrek Academy was far inferior.
He never expected Ning Fengzhi to make such a request.
"Sect Master Ning, isn't this inappropriate? How could our academy compare with your sect's education?"
Ning Fengzhi smiled. "There's nothing inappropriate. Isn't Rongrong the best example?"
"I'll be frank. My decision to send sect disciples to your academy is mainly because of Ye Fan."
"Being able to cultivate someone like Ye Fan—on one hand, it's due to Ye Fan's outstanding talent, and on the other hand, it naturally shows that your academy's teaching level is excellent."
Only then did Flander suddenly realize something.
He was once again benefiting from Ye Fan's reputation.
If the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect could cooperate with Shrek Academy,
it would be of tremendous significance to the future development of Shrek Academy.
With the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect supporting them from behind,
Shrek Academy would undoubtedly rise instantly to the level of a famous academy on the continent.
Ning Fengzhi smiled at Flander and said,
"We can discuss the specific cooperation matters after the Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament is over."
"The promotion matches are a stage to display individual strength, and also the best opportunity to temper these children.
Here, I will first wish Shrek Academy good results."
Flander hurriedly expressed his thanks.
At this time, Xue Qinghe said from the side, "Teacher, it's getting late. We should leave."
Flander turned his gaze toward Xue Qinghe. "May I ask who this is?"
Ning Fengzhi smiled and said, "He is my disciple, named Xue Qinghe."
Xue Qinghe took the initiative to salute Flander.
"Hello, Headmaster Flander."
Flander was also an experienced man. Although Xue Qinghe's attire was not particularly outstanding,
the aura he carried was absolutely not something ordinary nobles could possess.
Naturally, he would not expose anything.
He immediately returned the salute and smiled, nodding at Xue Qinghe.
Ning Rongrong said somewhat dissatisfiedly,
"Dad, you just got here and you're already leaving!"
"It's a pity I'm an auxiliary-type soul master and can't participate in the promotion matches. Otherwise, I would definitely let you see my current strength."
Ning Fengzhi chuckled. "There's no need to see it. Since I entrusted you to Headmaster Flander and the others, how could I not be at ease? Continue working hard."
"You are the future hope of the sect."
"I have discussed it with the elders of the sect. After you graduate from Shrek Academy, we will officially announce you as the next successor of the sect master."
Ning Rongrong stuck out her tongue,
obviously not very interested in the position of sect master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.
Ning Fengzhi's expression turned serious. "This is a responsibility you cannot shirk. Dad only has you as a daughter. If the sect isn't handed to you, who else should it be handed to?"
"You don't need to be dissatisfied either."
"With my current physical condition, it's no problem to hold on for several more decades. Isn't that enough time for you to play around?"
Seeing that her father had seen through her thoughts, Ning Rongrong's pretty face instantly turned red.
But there was no joy in her heart.
Subconsciously, her gaze drifted to the side,
landing on Ye Fan.
A feeling of unease quietly arose.
She didn't know whether her father would be able to accept it.
Ning Fengzhi once again bade farewell to Flander and the Grandmaster.
"Ye Fan, goodbye. I look forward to seeing your elegance in the promotion matches."
Xue Qinghe also greeted Ye Fan. The two then left the courtyard under everyone's escort.
After returning to the camp, Flander pulled Ye Fan aside.
"Ye Fan, who was the person beside Ning Fengzhi just now? Was he the prince of the Heaven Dou Empire?"
Ye Fan nodded.
"He is the Crown Prince of the Heaven Dou Empire."
"This is our first meeting. It looks like he came to recruit me."
Flander's eyes moved slightly, and a trace of a smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
"It seems that as you all rise to prominence, our Shrek Academy is really going to benefit greatly."
"Not only the Heaven Dou Empire wants to recruit you, the Spirit Hall also wants to recruit you."
"Your talent is obvious to all."
Unlike the preliminary matches, the promotion matches did not have multiple arenas running simultaneously.
There was only one competition venue—the main training ground of the Royal Knights.
A total of fifteen teams participating in the promotion matches
would conduct fourteen rounds of round-robin battles, one round per day.
Each day, one team would have a bye, with seven matches held per day.
All matches would be conducted on the same field.
The main training ground had been remodeled.
A central area with a diameter of one hundred meters was designated as the competition arena.
Compared with the arenas in the preliminary matches, the space here was much broader,
and naturally made it easier to display one's strength.
On the north side of the main training ground,
a temporary VIP stand was built, facing south.
It also served as the referee's stand.
This time, the number of distinguished guests who came to watch was not as many as before.
Many nobles were absent.
Looking around,
aside from Emperor Xue Ye, Ning Fengzhi, Platinum Bishop Salas, and a few others in the front row of the VIP stand,
the seats behind
were occupied by people in military attire and some high-ranking officials from the Spirit Hall's Heaven Dou City Spirit Hall.
Team battles were relatively chaotic, and many details were difficult to see clearly.
But the promotion matches were different.
Every student would display their individual strength under the gaze of the masses.
This was also the best opportunity to evaluate the strength of a soul master.
By clearly observing their performance,
and considering what price one was willing to pay to recruit them,
different levels of strength naturally corresponded to different bargaining chips.
