"Your Majesty, I noticed that colorful-haired girl's Martial Soul is rather unusual. Do you know which family's disciple she is?"
Ning Fengzhi held back his eager curiosity and pretended to ask casually.
Generally, students with such strong talent, when joining the Royal Academy of Tang Sect, would have their information reported to the emperor.
Family members would be given preferential treatment, and after the student graduated, they might try to recruit them.
"Oh, that colorful-haired female student?"
Xue Xing looked at Ning Fengzhi, who was pointing at Ning Rongrong, and immediately pretended to be puzzled.
"That colorful-haired female student is an outstanding student of my Tang Sect Royal Academy. Even I quite admire her."
As he spoke, he nodded in acknowledgment, picked up a teacup, calmly took a sip, and then looked at Ning Fengzhi, saying nothing further.
After waiting for a while, Ning Fengzhi grew anxious, asking, "Your Majesty, do you only know this much about the colorful-haired girl? Don't even know her name?"
"Oh~ so Master Ning is asking that."
Xue Xing pretended to suddenly understand, but did not immediately answer. He sipped his tea to moisten his throat, then slowly said:
"That colorful-haired female student is called Qian Rong'er, a genius girl of the Tang Sect Empire."
After finishing, seeing Ning Fengzhi's eager expression, he said no more, and slowly looked toward the Douhun Stage as the next round of matches began.
Seeing this, Ning Fengzhi's face turned grim. Just casually asking a question and only receiving a trivial answer, huh.
He saw clearly that Xue Ye didn't want to say anything. This colorful-haired student must be suspicious; her figure resembled Ning Rongrong.
But her Martial Soul didn't match. Ning Rongrong's Martial Soul was the broken Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda, already half a failure.
Moreover, their soul power levels didn't align. How could someone go from a Soul Master of over thirty levels to a Soul King over fifty levels within a year?
He couldn't believe Ning Rongrong had been accidentally taken, met a divine blessing, and even had her Martial Soul remade.
However, Qian Rong'er's surname matched one of the families behind the Spirit Hall. Could there be a connection?
For now, he had ruled out the possibility that Qian Rong'er was Ning Rongrong; no one could change so drastically in a year.
Rather, because of the surname, he suspected that Qian Rong'er might be a spy sent by the Spirit Hall.
Very intriguing—a suddenly appearing super genius, with a Martial Soul that seems like a cat, very suspicious.
But judging by Xue Ye's behavior, she seems familiar with them. Could she be a hidden genius of the Tang Sect Empire, only revealing herself now for this Soul Master tournament's champion, for the seven one-hundred-thousand-year soul rings?
Hmph—Tang Sect Empire is scheming, hiding such a genius, perhaps to unify the continent after their three nations eliminate the Spirit Hall.
Damn, he had long known Xue Ye was a shady character, should have been gone already.
Ning Fengzhi thought for a moment, deciding to strengthen defenses for Tang Sect Empire soldiers. At least, they could no longer infiltrate the Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda Sect.
He would need to contact the Xingluo Empire in advance. Otherwise, even with two top-ranked Douluo in the Seven Treasure Glazed Pagoda Sect, they could not oppose Tang Sect Empire's ambitions.
Then, the disguised Xue Xing, acting as Xue Ye, confirmed his decision.
When the Spirit Hall was destroyed, Tang Sect Empire must not be left standing. He remembered that the Third Prince was stationed at the border; perhaps he could seize territory and claim kingship.
This would also curb the Tang Sect Empire's development.
…
At this time, in the Shrek Academy's lounge, the three heavily injured students had awakened.
Only Dai Mubai, still recovering, twitched occasionally, looking comical.
"Third Brother, sorry, we really didn't recognize…"
Ma Hongjun looked at Tang San, who was full of resentment, staring daggers at them, and had no choice but to beg.
He even gritted his teeth and said, "It's all because of that bitch, otherwise we wouldn't have mistaken her."
"Forget it."
Tang San, his body scorched black and face expressionless, spoke with infinite anger:
"Next time, we prepare secret signals. If someone is discovered, check the signal first. If they don't respond, they're fake—attack immediately!"
He added harshly: "I want that person to suffer worse than death!"
Today's humiliation, in Tang San's view, the other six Shrek members were at fault, but he, magnanimous, forgave them this once.
But that colorful-haired woman had already sought death, daring to completely disregard them.
"Yes, Third Brother, we were careless this time, unaware of the opponent's information, so we fell for their trick. Next time, we will win for sure."
Oscar encouraged as well, believing Shrek could win, and that any defeat had a reason.
"Mm."
Tang San nodded in agreement.
At this time, Yu Xiaogang also emerged, his dead-fish eyes flashing with "wisdom."
"Do you know why you lost this time?"
Upon arrival, he first interrogated, placing himself in a position of reason, setting up the next Shrek lesson.
"Because we didn't coordinate well, nor did we research Tang Sect Royal Academy Team One in advance."
Yu Tianheng, unwilling to admit defeat, lowered his head in shame. He felt the loss was mainly due to poor coordination and insufficient knowledge of the enemy.
"That's only one aspect."
Yu Xiaogang interrupted Yu Tianheng, not wanting him to finish.
"You were afraid of Tang Sect Royal Academy Team One from the start—that's wrong."
He scolded sternly: "Do you know what Shrek is? A kind of monster."
"As members of Shrek's Seven Devils, you should be like monsters—no fear, no hesitation."
Scanning the group, seeing all seven humbled, Yu Xiaogang nodded in satisfaction; this was the effect he wanted.
Clearing his throat, he continued confidently:
"Your strength isn't inferior to Team One's. Tang San has multiple self-created soul skills; even a Soul Saint could fight him."
"Three strong-attack Soul Kings can strike instantly; the opponent likely cannot withstand them either."
"But you lost confidence at the start, and your lack of knowledge about the enemy caused gradual defeat."
"But their soul ring configuration…"
Oscar protested: "Couldn't you see how impressive their soul rings are? One-hundred-thousand-year soul rings are just the beginning. One soul pressure, a hundred of you couldn't resist."
"Hmph, in my view, those soul rings look impressive but are just paper tigers, perhaps a disguise. Otherwise, why didn't Dugu Yan attack and defeat you immediately?"
Yu Xiaogang, as if having discovered the truth, spoke with full confidence:
"The fact she didn't attack indicates her soul rings are likely fake; striking would reveal the truth. You have nothing to worry about."
