Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, inside the Main Hall.
"Hahaha, the qilin son of my house! He has the potential of a Titled Douluo!" Chen Xin laughed heartily as he slapped Chen Chen's shoulder.
"Hmph, it's just breaking through two soul power levels. No need to bring up 'potential of a Titled Douluo'." The Bone Douluo's words were tinged with jealousy.
"Kid Chen Chen, why don't you change your surname and just be my grandson," Gu Rong shouted at the top of his lungs.
Chen Xin's brow couldn't help but furrow, and he immediately said, "You old bonehead, why don't you change your surname? Just call yourself Chen Rong. That way, Chen Chen can also be considered your grandson."
Gu Rong's face darkened. "You sword-maniac, just you wait. In the next clan ranking competition, my grandson will definitely defeat Chen Chen."
Hearing this, Chen Xin snorted coldly. "Hmph, just relying on that kid Gu Yu? He just reached level 47, right? Chen Chen just broke through, and he advanced two levels at once!"
Looking at the unconcealed mockery on Chen Xin's face, Gu Rong's anger flared, and he wished he could smash a fist into that face.
"It was just luck. Besides, what does Chen Chen's breakthrough have to do with you? Lu Feng could enlighten him with just a sentence or two, while someone else taught him for one or two years to no effect. How laughable," Gu Rong said sarcastically.
"Huh? What's that smell? Did someone break a vinegar jar?"
"You sword-maniac, draw your sword!"
Watching the two elders trade barbs next to him, Chen Chen felt immense pressure.
"Clan Master, Grandfather, Elder Gu, I suddenly remembered I have matters at home, so I will take my leave first," Chen Chen said with cupped fists.
Ning Fengzhi nodded and smiled faintly. "Go ahead."
Hearing this, Chen Chen immediately let out a huge sigh of relief and quickly left the hall.
Gu Rong and Chen Xin stopped arguing. The group walked outside the hall, stood quietly, and gazed into the distance.
At this moment, the Bone Douluo was the first to break the silence. "Fengzhi, are we just letting Lu Feng leave like this? I'm really not resigned to it. Such a talent should be used by our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan."
He narrowed his eyes slightly, a sinister glint flashing within.
"If others find out about these weapons, wouldn't the clan be in danger? If they fall into the hands of an enemy like Spirit Hall, the consequences would be unimaginable."
Chen Xin snorted coldly and mocked him mercilessly, "You're always pondering these crooked ideas. Your state of mind is impure. That's why you've been stuck at the bottleneck, unable to break through to level 96."
"You sword-maniac, I'm in no mood to argue with you right now." A trace of anger flashed across Gu Rong's face, and he raised his voice to defend himself. "Isn't this all for the good of the clan? If something goes wrong, can you bear the responsibility?"
Chen Xin snorted again, this time mockingly. "Dugu Bo is also a rogue cultivator. Why don't you go recruit him?"
"Oh, that's right. That kid is Dugu Bo's disciple. If you have the ability, just recruit them both. You'd get the talent and secure the weapons. Wouldn't that be perfect?"
When Gu Rong heard this, it was as if a sore spot had been hit. He flew into a rage from embarrassment and shouted, "It's not like I haven't tried! But that old fellow Dugu Bo is an old lecher. If he joined the clan, wouldn't he turn this place into a chaotic mess?"
"Hmph." Chen Xin glanced at him sideways, his eyes filled with contempt. His expression seemed to say, I knew you didn't have the skills.
Seeing this, Gu Rong flew into an even greater rage, craning his neck and roaring, his face and neck red, "You sword-maniac, I've tolerated you for a long time. Draw your sword!"
"Bring it on! Who's afraid of who!"
Watching the two argue heatedly again, Ning Fengzhi helplessly pressed his hand to his forehead.
How could his heart not also value Lu Feng?
The talent Lu Feng displayed was extremely high. Whether it was his strength or those unique weapons he possessed, Ning Fengzhi was deeply moved.
However, Lu Feng had once revealed that his master was Dugu Bo. A Titled Douluo's disciple must naturally be treated with courtesy.
Moreover, according to Lu Feng, he had even more powerful weapons. He was just limited by his own spiritual power and couldn't fully comprehend that inheritance.
If they forced him to stay and angered him, the gain would not outweigh the loss.
Suddenly, Ning Fengzhi's thoughts raced.
He remembered Ning Rongrong saying that a girl at Shrek Academy was very close to Lu Feng, and that girl was also her good friend.
Perhaps he could start from this angle, have Ning Rongrong win over that girl, and use an indirect approach.
Ning Fengzhi nodded slightly, quickly forming an idea. Tomorrow, I'll have Rongrong return to Shrek Academy.
On the wide avenue, the breeze gently stirred Lu Feng's robes.
He took a token from his Soul Tool. It was heavy in his hand. The token's material was smooth and fine, and warm to the touch. The front was engraved with a nine-story pagoda.
"Nine Treasure Token. Holding this token is equivalent to being a guest elder," Lu Feng muttered to himself, a trace of amusement in his eyes.
He pursed his lips slightly, put the token away, and mumbled, "They don't even know to just give me Gold Soul Coins. Was I expressing myself too subtly?"
Lu Feng's thoughts drifted back to the scene of his farewell with Ning Fengzhi. He had been resolute at the time, refusing to accept the token. He had even stated directly that Gold Soul Coins would be fine.
Ning Fengzhi had looked moved and even praised him for his lofty and incorruptible character.
Lu Feng felt helpless. I clearly said it, so how did he not get my meaning?
Lu Feng sighed. His soul power reached into his Soul Tool, and several different-styled tokens appeared in his hand.
One of them, engraved with a swan pattern, was the Crown Prince's Token.
Back when Qian Renxue accepted that pile of hidden weapons at the auction house, she had personally given this token to Lu Feng. She said he could go to the Crown Prince's palace to find 'him' at any time.
Another, engraved with a serpent pattern, was from Dugu Yan.
A faint smile touched Lu Feng's lips. I wonder if Yan Yan has returned to Heaven Dou City. I wonder if she'll like the big, thick 'treasure' I prepared for her when she sees it?
There was another one, engraved with the shape of a tiger's head. But in Lu Feng's eyes, the pattern looked more like a kitty cat's head.
This one was from Zhu Zhuqing, representing the friendship of the Star Luo Imperial Family. Lu Feng played with it in his hand for a while, a hint of smugness in his eyes.
"With these tokens, I can walk sideways on this continent," Lu Feng chuckled in a low voice.
Suddenly, Lu Feng seemed to remember something important. His soul power reached into his Soul Tool again.
A moment later, he took out a badge.
On the badge, the pattern of three crossed longswords shone in the sunlight, exuding a unique majesty.
This was the one Qian Renxue had given him at the Nuoding City Spirit Hall.
One must know, generally only Soul Masters at the Soul Elder level or above were qualified to be granted this badge. Back then, Lu Feng was only a Soul Master in the teens, so it was an exceptional grant.
And this badge represented precisely the Spirit Hall's Third-Class Knight of Honor.
Well, in truth, it's just one level higher than Su Yuntao.
The next day, at the entrance of Blue Tyrant Academy.
This place had now been renamed Shrek Academy.
Those five glittering words were particularly eye-catching in the sun.
Lu Feng looked at these words, sighed inwardly, and thought to himself: Sure enough, I wasn't wrong to hug a rich woman's thigh. Dean Flender is truly a role model for our generation!
Immediately, Lu Feng walked straight through the school gates. This time, the guard did not stop him.
At this, a burly student at the gate saw Lu Feng's back. He was stunned for a moment, subconsciously scratching his head, as if trying hard to remember something.
Suddenly, his eyes widened, and a look of terror appeared on his face. "That kid is back! Quick, go find Chief Tai Long!"
