Hearing School Master Ning's inquiry, Ning Tian took a deep breath and answered with a calm expression.
"Father, after we dropped out, Wu Feng and I are now students of Shrek Academy."
"It's just that..."
Ning Tian paused, her tone carrying a hint of undisguised pride.
"The one we joined isn't that Counterfeit Shrek Academy on the ground that only misleads its students."
Hearing the term "Counterfeit Shrek Academy," both School Master Ning, sitting in the high seat, and the Red Dragon Douluo Wu Long beside him were stunned, a flash of confusion crossing their eyes.
"What Counterfeit Shrek Academy?"
Wu Long's gruff voice echoed in the hall. He scratched his head, looking at his granddaughter in confusion.
Wu Feng took over the conversation, gave a cold snort, and began to explain with her fiery temper.
"Grandpa, Uncle Ning, the 'pirated' one we're talking about is naturally the Shrek Academy we originally went to sign up for!"
Subsequently, Wu Feng didn't add any embellishments and told the true reason why she and Ning Tian had dropped out of that Shrek Academy in the first place.
"The freshman homeroom teacher we were assigned to in the Outer Court was named Zhou Yi. That old hag is simply a complete pervert!"
Thinking back to what happened at Shrek Academy, Wu Feng's anger flared up.
"On the first day of class, she didn't explain any Spirit Master theory or teach us any meditation methods. She directly made the whole class wear heavy iron vests and run around the playground until we were exhausted! She even had the audacity to say that anyone who didn't finish would be expelled immediately!"
"I really couldn't stand this so-called 'teaching' that treated us like livestock, so I questioned her on the spot. As a result, that Zhou Yi, relying on her background, actually abused her power and expelled me without a second word!"
Wu Feng pointed to Ning Tian beside her and continued.
"And because the Young Lord couldn't stand it and spoke up for me, that old hag actually expelled the Young Lord along with me!"
After listening to Wu Feng's accusation.
The entire meeting hall instantly fell silent.
Ning Tian and Wu Feng glanced at each other, both involuntarily lowering their heads, their heartbeats slightly accelerating.
They were actually quite uncertain in their hearts right now, and had even prepared themselves to endure a scolding.
After all, the origins between the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and Shrek Academy had a history of fully ten thousand years!
Their Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's ancestor, Ning Rongrong, who was famous throughout the continent, was an important member of the original Shrek Seven Devils, and finally successfully achieved Ascension to godhood, leaving eternal glory for the Sect.
With this layer of historical connection, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and Shrek Academy had always been seen by the outside world as an invisible alliance that was deeply intertwined.
And now, as the sole heir of this generation of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Ning Tian had been expelled from Shrek Academy along with Wu Feng. This undoubtedly equated to directly souring the relationship that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and Shrek Academy had accumulated over ten thousand years!
However, to Ning Tian and Wu Feng's shock, after School Master Ning heard this ridiculous reason for expulsion, not only did he not fly into a rage, but his face didn't even show a hint of concern or anger.
He just listened quietly, then picked up the teacup by his hand and took a gentle sip.
"If you've withdrawn, then so be it."
School Master Ning put down the teacup and spoke in a flat tone.
"Since you have already taken the initiative to complete the withdrawal procedures, from now on, you two no longer need to have any involvement with that Shrek Academy, nor do you need to feel any psychological burden."
Upon hearing these words, Ning Tian and Wu Feng both snapped their heads up, their faces full of disbelief.
"Father, you... you don't blame us?"
Ning Tian asked tentatively.
"After all, our connection with Shrek Academy..."
School Master Ning gave a cold laugh and explained.
"Tian'er, Feng girl, do you really think that when I agreed to let you sign up for that Shrek Academy, it was so you could learn some incredible true skills there?"
School Master Ning shook his head, a glint flashing in his eyes.
"Ten thousand years have passed, and times are developing, yet look at that Shrek Academy; the so-called training methods circulating now are nothing more than that most primitive set of weighted running!"
"Do we not know this kind of Cultivation method?"
"As for those so-called Spirit Bone rewards and Cultivation resources they can bring out to motivate students..."
"The things they can bring out, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's treasury can likewise provide!"
School Master Ning looked at Ning Tian and said earnestly.
"The reason I agreed to let you enter that Shrek Academy was simply to use the fame they've accumulated over ten thousand years to let you meet more outstanding heirs of other major Sects and families in the academy, building a wide network for the Sect's future."
"However, since the teachers in today's Shrek Academy have become so arrogant that they would expel the Young Lord of a Sect on a whim, then there is no longer any need to go to this so-called Shrek Academy."
School Master Ning made a decisive call.
"Since you've withdrawn, you don't need to go anywhere else next. You two just stay here and return to our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School for internal studies."
Hearing School Master Ning's arrangement.
Ning Tian and Wu Feng looked at each other.
If it were eight months ago, they might have truly followed the arrangement obediently and stayed in the Sect to receive Sect education.
But now, it was different.
Ning Tian turned around, looked at her father, and shook her head gently.
"Father, we appreciate your kindness."
Ning Tian took a deep breath and said in a firm tone.
"But, we don't plan to come back to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to study."
"We only came back to visit this time during our academy's field training. Once the training is over, we still have to go back to our Shrek Academy to study."
Hearing this, both School Master Ning and Wu Long couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
School Master Ning's brow furrowed slightly, and he was suddenly confused.
As the Master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, his intelligence network was naturally not weak.
He had indeed heard of that Shrek Academy thousands of meters in the sky on the outskirts of the Star Dou Great Forest, but... he hadn't sent anyone to verify it. After all, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School only had one Titled Douluo, and he wasn't exactly idle.
However, School Master Ning never expected that after Ning Tian and Wu Feng dropped out, they would actually go directly to that mysterious Sky Shrek Academy to study.
But, no matter how mysterious that academy was.
Could it really compare to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School putting the entire Sect's strength into nurturing its own heir?
School Master Ning looked at Ning Tian and asked.
"Tian'er, what is the substantive difference between the Sky Shrek Academy you're talking about and the Counterfeit Shrek Academy you were previously at?"
"What kind of magic does it have that could make you refuse even the Sect's full-scale cultivation?"
Ning Tian didn't explain too much.
She looked at School Master Ning, a confident and bright smile curling at the corners of her mouth.
"Father, of course there's a difference."
Ning Tian took a step forward and stood in the center of the meeting hall.
She didn't waste any words.
She directly raised her right hand and activated the Spirit Power in her body.
Buzz—!
Accompanied by a crisp glazed chime that suddenly echoed in the hall!
The gazes of School Master Ning and the Red Dragon Douluo Wu Long beside him were like they were attracted by a magnet, staring fixedly at the pagoda in Ning Tian's palm.
One level, two levels, three levels... nine levels!
School Master Ning's breathing completely stopped at this moment, and his eyes widened in shock.
The Spirit of the ancestor Ning Rongrong from ten thousand years ago had appeared on his daughter?!
Possessing the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda meant that his daughter had the potential to become a god!
