As the Snow Night Emperor announced the victory of the match, the audience in the stands immediately erupted into massive discussions. In an instant, voices of doubt and praise filled the air, but more than anything, there was shock over the five ten-thousand-year soul rings.
By rights, Shrek Academy's strength should not be considered weak, yet such a team was completely defeated by a single Soul King in just a few minutes. The scene was truly shocking.
In the stands, countless faces turned red with excitement. They stood up from their seats, waving their items in hand, and in a blink, the entire Grand Douluo Arena was engulfed in a sea of noise and excitement.
The reason the Snow Night Emperor announced the result so quickly was that, in his mind, the Seven Star Academy had been established under the support of Crown Prince Xue Qinghe, making it a high-level Soul Master academy. Moreover, Dugu Bo was a royal guest, meaning they were "our own people."
Even if the Seven Star Academy had truly broken the rules, the Snow Night Emperor would have turned a deaf ear. Besides, the academy had not broken any rules; according to match regulations, this was simply a fierce team battle and could not be called heavy casualties.
Just as the Snow Night Emperor finished speaking, Ning Fengzhi suddenly stood up beside him. Slowly raising his hand, the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda, wrapped in seven soul rings, appeared in his palm, glowing with a subtle radiance.
"Seven treasures well-known, sixth for healing!"
The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda in Ning Fengzhi's hand rotated slightly for a few turns, then floated into the air. In the blink of an eye, it expanded into a glaze tower over ten meters tall. At once, the entire Grand Douluo Arena shone with colorful light as seven faint auras radiated from the pagoda.
Sword Douluo Chenxin silently guarded Ning Fengzhi at this moment. Though he had not released his martial soul, an extremely sharp aura radiated from him, preventing anyone from approaching Ning Fengzhi even slightly.
The healing light of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda covered all the members of Shrek Academy, shimmering with strange brilliance.
The wounds on Tang San's back were closing at an astonishing rate. The crimson blood no longer flowed, and all eight twisted remnants of the Spider Spear were fully absorbed back into his body.
Because the two had a cooperative relationship, and Tang San was a disciple of the Hantian Sect, as the saying goes, the top three sects are like branches of the same tree. Ning Fengzhi, as the leader of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect and also a senior, had to show some courtesy.
Of course, the main reason was that Tang San was too seriously injured. Releasing the sixth soul skill to heal him also ensured his life was preserved.
If Tang San had truly died, who would he have to return the secret weapon production to?
Hearing the roar of cheering like a mountain flood, Cheng Xiao finally withdrew his cold gaze, turning to the crowd behind him with an apologetic smile.
Then he lifted his head to look toward the viewing area of Seven Star Academy, just meeting Ye Lingling's gaze. The two exchanged a distant smile.
"Cheng Xiao, congratulations on your Seven Star Academy winning the first match of the tournament. I believe it won't be long before the name of Seven Star Academy resounds across the continent," Ning Fengzhi smiled as he approached Cheng Xiao.
"It was just luck," Cheng Xiao waved his hand, smiling.
"Luck? Cheng Xiao, at your age to already reach the Soul King level, and possessing five ten-thousand-year soul rings—such power is almost unmatched across the entire Douluo Continent," Ning Fengzhi said, glancing at the Sword Douluo beside him.
"It's just the skill of simulated soul rings, not usable in serious battles." Cheng Xiao's eyes shifted as he glanced at Sword Douluo Chenxin behind Ning Fengzhi, who was now staring at him as well.
Upon hearing about the skill of simulated soul rings, Sword Douluo's brows moved slightly, imperceptibly, then returned to calm.
"Oh? There is actually such a marvelous soul skill to simulate soul rings? Cheng Xiao, are you joking?" Ning Fengzhi asked, doubting it.
"Ning Sect Leader, I am not joking. This is merely one of my simulated soul skills. Don't believe me? Look for yourself." Cheng Xiao's words fell, and under Ning Fengzhi's eyes, the five ten-thousand-year soul rings slowly shifted to yellow, purple, and black.
"A soul skill that can actually simulate soul rings!" The scene before him startled Ning Fengzhi. He had never seen a soul master who could change the color of their soul rings.
"Indeed." Cheng Xiao nodded slightly, then smiled. "Ning Sect Leader, Sword Douluo Senior, I have matters to attend to, so I will take my leave. We shall meet again."
With a polite bow of his hands, Cheng Xiao casually glanced at Tang San and the others being carried off from the Douluo stage, then moved toward the Seven Star Academy's resting room.
"Sword Uncle, let's go too." Seeing Cheng Xiao leave without hesitation, Ning Fengzhi spoke to Sword Douluo beside him, and they slowly departed from the Douluo stage.
However, just as Ning Fengzhi and the others had stepped down and were about to return to the VIP area, a familiar voice made them stop in their tracks.
"Daddy!" Ning Rongrong ran over excitedly and immediately leapt into Ning Fengzhi's embrace.
"Rongrong, why did you come running here?" Ning Fengzhi gently rubbed her little head and asked softly.
"Daddy, Sword Grandpa, you came to greet Cheng Xiao, but didn't come to see Rongrong?" Ning Rongrong looked up at Ning Fengzhi with watery, big eyes.
"Rongrong, isn't the first round of the preliminaries still ongoing? Daddy has to go back to watch the matches of other academies," Ning Fengzhi said with a helpless smile, gently pushing Ning Rongrong aside. "You go back to the academy with your classmates first. Daddy can't stay with you, or people will say I'm showing favoritism."
"Hmph! Showing favoritism, right?" Ning Rongrong crossed her arms, pouting. "Let them say it then. Our Seven Star Academy speaks by strength. If they don't accept it, let them come challenge us."
Hearing this, Ning Fengzhi smiled and softly said, "Rongrong, you mustn't be arrogant. This victory only happened because you were standing on the shoulders of giants. Keep good relations with Cheng Xiao, and in the future, you will go even further."
"All right, all right, I understand." Ning Rongrong nodded lightly, then giggled. "Then I'll head back first. Daddy, after you finish watching the matches, come see me. I'll introduce you to my new classmates. They've all been so nice to Rongrong."
"Mm, Daddy knows. After the matches, Daddy and Sword Grandpa will go together." Ning Fengzhi looked at Ning Rongrong with gentle eyes. After she left, he said, "Sword Uncle, how much credibility do you think Cheng Xiao's words have?"
Sword Douluo thought for a moment, then slowly said, "Fifty percent—half true, half false. I still feel this kid might really possess five ten-thousand-year soul rings."
"Five ten-thousand-year soul rings…" Ning Fengzhi drew in a sharp breath, bitterly smiling. "What a terrifying child."
