Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Main Hall.
"Hahaha, my family's prodigy! He has the potential to be a titled prince!" Chen Xin patted Chen Chen's shoulder and laughed loudly.
"Hmph, so what if he broke through two levels of soul power? He's already got the potential to be a titled prince." Bone Douluo's words couldn't hide a hint of sourness.
"Chen Chen, why don't you change your surname and become my grandson?" Gu Rong shouted loudly.
Chen Xin frowned and immediately said, "Old bones, why don't you change your surname and just call yourself Chen Rong? That way, Chen Chen will be your grandson too."
Gu Rong's face darkened. "Sword Master, just you wait. In the next sect ranking competition, my grandson will definitely defeat Chen Chen."
Hearing this, Chen Xin snorted coldly. "Hmph, that brat Gu Yu? He's only just reached level 47, right? Chen Chen just broke through, and he leveled up twice!"
Seeing the undisguised sarcasm on Chen Xin's face, Gu Rong was so angry that he wanted to punch him in the face.
"It's just good luck. Besides, what does Chen Chen's breakthrough have to do with you? Lu Feng can enlighten him with a few words, while someone has been teaching him for a year or two and it's still useless. It's really laughable." Gu Rong said sarcastically.
"Huh? What's that smell? Who's been jealous?"
"Sword Master, draw your sword!"
Watching his two elders mocking each other beside him, Chen Chen felt immense pressure.
"Sect Master, Grandfather, Elder Gu, I suddenly remembered I have matters to attend to at home, so I'll take my leave first," Chen Chen said, cupping his hands in greeting.
Ning Fengzhi nodded and smiled faintly, "Go ahead."
Upon hearing this, Chen Chen breathed a sigh of relief and quickly left the hall.
Gu Rong and Chen Xin stopped arguing, and the group walked outside the hall, standing quietly, their gazes all fixed on the distance.
At this moment, Bone Douluo broke the silence first, saying, "Fengzhi, are we just going to let Lu Feng leave like this? It's truly a bit of a shame. Such talent should be used by my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School."
He narrowed his eyes slightly, a hint of gloom flashing within them.
"If others find out about these weapons, wouldn't the sect be in danger? If they fall into the hands of enemies like the Spirit Hall, the consequences would be unimaginable."
Chen Xin sneered, mercilessly mocking, "You're always scheming like this, your mind is impure, that's why you're stuck at the bottleneck, unable to break through to level ninety-six."
"Sword Master, I have no time to argue with you right now." Gu Rong's face flashed with annoyance as he raised his voice to defend himself, "Isn't this all for the sect's sake? If something goes wrong, can you bear the responsibility?"
Chen Xin sneered again, with a hint of mockery, "Dugu Bo is also a rogue cultivator, why don't you try to win him over?"
"Oh, right, that kid is Dugu Bo's disciple. If you're so capable, you could recruit them both at once. That way you'd gain talent and keep the weapons safe, wouldn't that be perfect?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Rong seemed to have been hit where it hurt, and immediately flew into a rage, shouting, "I've tried before! But that old bastard Dugu Bo is a lecherous old man. If he joined the sect, wouldn't he turn this place into chaos?"
"Hmph." Chen Xin glanced at him sideways, her eyes full of disdain. Her expression seemed to say, "I knew you couldn't do it."
Seeing this, Gu Rong became even more furious, raising his neck and roaring, "Swordsman, I've put up with you for too long. Draw your sword!"
"Come on, who's afraid of who!"
Watching the two arguing again, Ning Fengzhi helplessly rubbed his forehead.
How could he not value Lu Feng?
Lu Feng displayed exceptional talent; both his strength and the unique weapons he wielded captivated Ning Fengzhi.
However, Lu Feng had previously revealed that his master was Dugu Bo. A disciple of a Title Douluo should naturally be treated with respect. Moreover,
according to Lu Feng, he possessed even more powerful weapons, though limited by his own spiritual power, he couldn't fully comprehend that inheritance.
Forcibly detaining him and angering him would be counterproductive.
Suddenly, Ning Fengzhi's thoughts raced.

He remembered Ning Rongrong mentioning that a girl at Shrek Academy was very close to Lu Feng, and that girl was also her best friend.
Perhaps they could start from this angle, having Ning Rongrong win over that girl, a roundabout approach.
Ning Fengzhi nodded slightly, quickly coming up with an idea, "Let Rongrong return to Shrek Academy tomorrow."
On the wide avenue, a gentle breeze stirred Lu Feng's clothes.
He took out a token from his soul tool, its weight substantial in his hand. The token's material was warm and smooth, warm to the touch, with a nine-story pagoda engraved on the front.
"The Nine Treasures Token. Holding this token is equivalent to being a guest elder," Lu Feng murmured to himself, a hint of teasing in his eyes.
He slightly pursed his lips, casually putting the token away, muttering, "Why didn't they just give me some gold soul coins? Was I too subtle?"
Lu Feng's thoughts drifted back to the scene of saying goodbye to Ning Fengzhi. At that time, he was adamant about not accepting the token. He even bluntly stated that gold soul coins would suffice.
Ning Fengzhi was deeply moved and praised him for his integrity and upright character.
Lu Feng was filled with helplessness. He had clearly explained himself, so why hadn't the other party understood?
Lu Feng sighed, his soul power probing his soul tool, and several tokens of different styles appeared in his hand.
One of them, engraved with a swan pattern, was the Crown Prince's Token.
After Qian Renxue acquired that pile of hidden weapons at the auction, she personally handed this token to Lu Feng, indicating that Lu Feng could visit her at the Crown Prince's residence at any time.
Another one, engraved with a snake pattern, was given to him by Dugu Yan.
A slight smile appeared on Lu Feng's lips. "I wonder if Yan Yan has returned to Tian Dou City? Will she like the big, thick treasure I prepared for her?"
There was another one engraved with a tiger's head. However, in Lu Feng's eyes, the pattern looked more like a cat's head.
This was given to him by Zhu Zhuqing, representing the friendship of the Star Luo royal family. Lu Feng played with it in his hand for a while, a hint of pride in his eyes.
"With these badges, I can roam freely across the continent," Lu Feng chuckled softly.
Suddenly, as if remembering something important, Lu Feng channeled his soul power into his soul tool again.
A moment later, he retrieved a badge.
On the badge, three crossed longswords gleamed in the sunlight, radiating a unique majesty.
This was a gift from Qian Renxue to him at the Spirit Hall in Notting City.
It should be noted that generally only Soul Masters of the Soul Venerable level or above are qualified to be awarded this badge. Lu Feng was only a Soul Master of the tenth level at the time, so it was considered an exception.
This badge represented the Spirit Hall's Glory Level Three Knight.
Well, actually, only one level higher than Su Yuntao.
The next day, at the entrance of Blue Tyrant Academy.
Now renamed Shrek Academy
, the five gleaming characters were particularly eye-catching in the sunlight.
Looking at the large characters, Lu Feng sighed inwardly, thinking, "Sure enough, choosing to latch onto a rich woman was the right decision. Dean Flander truly is a role model for us all!"
Lu Feng then walked straight into the school gate, and this time, the gatekeeper didn't stop him.
At that moment, a burly student at the gate saw Lu Feng's back. He was startled at first, then subconsciously scratched his head, as if trying to remember something.
Suddenly, his eyes widened, and a look of horror appeared on his face. "That kid has appeared again! Quick, go find Chief Tyron!"
