98: Weird events within the sect?

It wasn't until deep into the night that the rampant sword energy outside the house completely dissipated. Hu Liena, still sleeping soundly in Qian Feng's arms, carefully withdrew his slightly numb hand. He got up, put on his clothes, pushed open the door, and walked out of the room.

"Hmm? Have you been here all along?" Qian Feng's eyebrow twitched as he looked at the figure outside the small courtyard.

Ning Ping shook his head, bowed, and smiled, "No, I haven't. Sword Douluo is always so energetic when cultivating. I was worried you might be concerned, so I planned to inform you. Also, it's dinner time, isn't it? I just happened to walk to the courtyard entrance to call you."

Ning Ping smiled courteously, looking quite like a kind and gentle Elder.

Seeing how reasonable the other person was, Qian Feng also smiled and cupped his hands, "Elder Ning, please wait a moment. I'll go wake up my wife."

"No hurry, no hurry. Please go ahead." Ning Ping nodded.

A moment later, the three of them walked within the vast Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, yet they circled around for quite a while without reaching the dining area.

Qian Feng's eyebrow twitched, and he smiled as he asked, "Elder Ning Ping isn't an old-timer of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, are you?"

"Yes, I am. I joined a month ago, when the assessment began. Hehe, it's just a coincidence that my surname is Ning. The benefits of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School are too good, and the Sect is really too big, hahaha! I haven't even gotten used to the roads after a month!" Ning Ping answered flawlessly, his demeanor natural without any abnormality.

However, a hint of coldness appeared in Qian Feng's eyes, and he tightened his grip on Hu Liena's left hand.

The latter, knowing her lover's thoughts well, nodded slightly and moved closer to Qian Feng.

The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School prepared a special grand banquet for guests every night, which could be said to be the utmost in hospitality.

However, Qian Feng also noticed something unusual—why hadn't Ning Fengzhi, as the Sect Master, come to greet everyone?

He hadn't even seen a trace of Ning Fengzhi throughout the day.

Strange, it was truly a bit strange.

Inside the banquet hall, Ning Ping also announced that the first assessment match would begin tomorrow, which would be the preliminary round. Afterward, he also left.

After everyone had eaten and drunk their fill, Qian Feng took Hu Liena back to the small courtyard.

As soon as they entered the door, the little fox immediately closed the windows and quickly came to Qian Feng's side: "Uh, let's take it easy tonight!"

"Pah, what are you thinking! Don't you think this Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is a bit strange!" Hu Liena furrowed her delicate brows and asked, throwing herself into Qian Feng's embrace.

"Oh? Tell me, have you found anything?" Qian Feng pursed his lips and smiled, leaning against the headboard, kneading the soft hands of the woman in his arms.

"When we came back, there were always people from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School watching us, and I bet! Once we entered the small courtyard, we probably won't be able to go out tonight!" Hu Liena sighed, shook her head, and lamented, "It's a little scary."

Just then, Qian Feng felt as if he had been electrocuted. He got up and walked to the window, squinting and listening to some faint sounds.

Hu Liena's body trembled. Qian Feng's action had startled her, and she immediately shrank back into bed, covering herself with the quilt.

Qian Feng, with his eyes closed, seemed to hear faint murmurs of pain, and even felt some sword energy seemingly brush past his cheek.

"Nana, do you hear anything? A man's murmuring in a dream, it sounds a bit painful." Qian Feng looked at Hu Liena on the bed and asked.

"Don't, don't scare me!" Hu Liena gasped, pulling the quilt tighter around herself.

Suddenly, a drizzling rain fell outside the window, completely covering the human voices.

Qian Feng wouldn't think he was hallucinating or mistaken.

Within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, it seemed there was a big problem!

"Let's not think about it for now, we can't figure it out yet. Let's rest and win tomorrow's match first." Qian Feng shook his head, got into bed, and sighed, "Only by having a higher position in the Sect can I try to unravel these mysteries."

"It's a bit scary!" Hu Liena bit her lower lip and immediately hugged Qian Feng like a raccoon, as this was the only way she could feel secure enough.

A moment later, Hu Liena fell into a dream, a smile on the corner of her mouth.

Qian Feng stroked her head, quietly listening to the sound of the rain in the night. A moment later, a scattered sword energy brushed past his cheek again!

Within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, only one person had the ability to produce such sharp sword energy and let it flow around like this.

"Sword Douluo, what are you doing?!"

The next morning, Qian Feng and Hu Liena arrived at the training grounds of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

There were already many men and women, young and old, participating in the assessment. In the center was a stone arena, and sitting in the main seat above was the Miss of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School—Ning Rongrong.

Beside Ning Rongrong were two seemingly elderly men, whose Soul Power was approximately at the Soul Douluo realm.

"Everyone, the schedule for today's matches has been arranged. Since everyone has attack-type Martial Souls, combat is the best way to showcase your strengths." Ning Rongrong stood up, fully displaying the demeanor of a direct descendant of a major Sect.

Following her, the two Elders behind her also stood up. Ning Rongrong continued to introduce, "Ning Zhanying and Ning Tianying, these two are also Elders who have joined our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and have voluntarily changed their surname to Ning. Please rest assured, our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School will definitely invest resources without hesitation for the Elders who join us. Everyone, please show off your skills!"

After speaking, she took her seat in the main position. Ning Zhanying, the white-robed Elder beside her, took a step forward, took out a roster from his Pregnant, and began to arrange the matches:

"First match: Xiao Heizi versus Zhang San!"

"Second match"

Qian Feng and Hu Liena were in the last two matches, so they could only wait there for a long time.

About an hour later, the first ten or so matches were over. A hint of fatigue appeared in Ning Rongrong's eyes, and she prepared to get up and leave.

Just then, Qian Feng stepped onto the stage. His opponent was a strong middle-aged man with large hands and a muscular build.

Ning Rongrong's eyes flashed as she looked at Ning Ping below the stage and asked, "This young Soul Master, is he the one with the sword Martial Soul?"

"Yes, yes, Miss has a good memory. This is the only Soul Master with a sword Martial Soul we have recruited this time, Jing Hun!" Ning Ping quickly and respectfully replied.

"Oh~ Such a young Soul Saint with a sword Martial Soul, is his name Jing Hun? Hehe, that's worth watching." Ning Rongrong became interested, her beautiful eyes shifting as she smiled and looked at Qian Feng in the arena.

"Kid, you're really unlucky to meet me!" Wang Shuai clenched his hands, and his Martial Soul appeared behind him, a giant ape radiating flames. Seven Soul Rings lit up simultaneously under his feet.

A Level 71 Soul Saint!

"Hehe, those who boast in front of me are usually very unlucky." Qian Feng nodded slightly, a flash of sword energy in his eyes. A series of Golden Lightning gradually appeared in front of him, then converged into a long sword radiating golden light.

Zhi Ge Divine Sword!

As the "sword Martial Soul" appeared, the astonishing scattered sword energy made the eyes of the Soul Masters present widen in surprise. Miss Ning Rongrong in the main seat could no longer hide the pleasant surprise in her eyes, and she pursed her lips and smiled, "Hehe~ I never thought my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School could recruit such a precious Soul Master~ It's truly a blessing."

Wang Shuai retreated a few steps. Seeing that all the attention had been stolen by Qian Feng, he could only let out a furious snort, "Martial Soul True Body!"

As Wang Shuai transformed into a flaming ape, his aura also climbed significantly, vaguely able to contend with Qian Feng!

With the Zhi Ge Divine Sword in hand, Qian Feng smirked slightly, "Perfect, I'll use this big guy to test my Star Shift!"
