20demayo Chapter 14 Challenger: Wu Feng!
Chapter 14 Challenger: Wu Feng!
Ning Qingyun nuzzled a couple more times before loosening her grip slightly, but still held Gu An in her arms.
She pointed at Ning Tian and Wu Feng.
"That blonde girl is my daughter, Ning Tian."
"The one with red hair is Wu Lao's granddaughter, Wu Feng."
Ning Tian stood there, watching his mother being so affectionate with a little boy, even rubbing her face against his.
That was the kind of treatment she received when she was a child.
Now that she's grown up, her mother talks to her most about family power, sect affairs, and the cultivation of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda.
She hadn't been shown such affectionate gestures since she was six years old.
A strong sense of jealousy welled up in Ning Tian's eyes.
She stared at Gu An, her eyes filled with hostility.
She's just a teenage girl, after all.
Of course I'll be jealous.
Wu Feng keenly sensed that Ning Tian's emotions were not right.
Her intelligence only truly shines when it comes to matters concerning Ning Tian.
At other times, he's always missing a screw.
But whenever Ning Tian is unhappy, Wu Feng's mind works faster than anyone else's.
To stand up for her friend, she stepped forward without thinking.
She pointed at Gu An with one finger, put her other hand on her hip, and glared at Gu An angrily.
"You! You are Gu An, who deceived our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!"
"At such a young age, all he has is some skill that disguises his spirit rings."
"They actually dared to deceive my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School!"
Her voice was sharp and loud, echoing in the courtyard.
Wu Yunshan stood behind and raised his hand to cover his face.
He sighed.
He had completely given up hope on his granddaughter's intelligence.
Ning Qingyun was both amused and exasperated. She released Gu An from her embrace and began to explain.
He recounted how Wu Feng wanted to challenge Gu An.
Gu An nodded after listening.
"Can."
He agreed readily.
On the one hand, it can convince the two girls and resolve their doubts.
On the other hand, he also wanted to test just how strong he had become.
After absorbing the earth vein's profound root, although his soul power level dropped from level seventeen to level fourteen, his foundation was much more solid than before.
He also wanted to see how much of his power he could unleash in actual combat in his current state.
Seeing that Gu An actually dared to agree, Wu Feng felt a surge of joy.
He practically delivered himself to our door.
She clenched her fists, her knuckles cracking, and a smile played on her lips.
------
The Soul Arena of the Spirit Transmission Academy.
A circular stone platform with a diameter of over fifty meters, its surface covered with reinforced array formations.
Gu An and Wu Feng stood face to face in the center of the Soul Battle Arena, about twenty meters apart.
offstage.
Ning Qingyun, Leng Yaozhu, Gu's mother, Wu Yunshan, and Ning Tian sat in the first row of the stands.
Ning Qingyun's gaze lingered on Gu An on the stage for a moment, then shifted to Leng Yaozhu's face beside her.
Leng Yaozhu had a calm expression, with her arms crossed, leaning back in her seat, one leg crossed over the other, exuding a lazy aura.
He showed absolutely no sign of nervousness.
Instead, Gu's mother frowned slightly, her eyes fixed on Gu An on the stage.
The worry on his face was almost palpable.
Ning Qingyun couldn't help but move closer to Leng Yaozhu and ask in a low voice.
Can Xiao An win?
Leng Yaozhu glanced at her indifferently.
"Wrapped."
"Xiao An will definitely win."
Seeing Leng Yaozhu's confident demeanor, even knowing that she was Her Majesty, Ning Tian couldn't help but interject.
She looked at Wu Feng on the stage, then at Gu An opposite her, her tone full of disbelief.
"Feng Mei is a level 25, two-ring Grand Soul Master."
"He's only just reached the first ring."
"Can we win?"
Leng Yaozhu turned her head and looked at Ning Tian's unconvinced little face.
She's just a little girl, so naturally she wouldn't bother arguing with her.
However...
It's not that we can't have some fun with it.
Anyway, she had nothing to do right now, and the battle on stage was no surprise to her, so she could just have some fun.
Leng Yaozhu smiled and looked at Ning Tian.
"How about we make a bet?"
Ning Tian raised an eyebrow.
"What kind of bet?"
Leng Yaozhu stretched out a finger, pointed at Gu An on the stage, and then pointed at Wu Feng.
"If Xiao An wins easily, that little girl on the stage will lose without any chance to fight back."
"You two girls will serve as Xiao An's maids for a few months."
"how?"
After listening, Ning Tian's eyes darted around, and he quickly thought it over in his mind.
His Majesty said "win easily".
In other words, if Gu An hadn't won so easily...
Even if Feng Mei loses in the end, she will not have to accept any punishment.
She believed that Feng Mei, who had already reached the second ring, could cause a lot of trouble for Gu An, even if she couldn't defeat a first-ring Soul Master.
There's no way we can let him win easily.
After thinking it through, Ning Tian spoke directly.
"I've made the bet."
Ning Qingyun and Wu Yunshan sat to the side, both with smiling expressions on their faces, and neither of them said anything to stop them.
Being a maid is nice.
Being a maid would allow her to spend time with the young master and deepen their bond.
Where else can you find such a good thing?
If Ning Qingyun hadn't felt that she was indeed a bit too old and embarrassed to compete with a group of young girls, she herself would have wanted to sign up to be the maid.
Wu Yunshan had similar thoughts.
If he weren't a man, and an old man at that, he would also want to be a maid.
Hearing Ning Tian agree, Leng Yaozhu's smile deepened, and she added another sentence.
"It's not just Xiao An."
"Sister, you two will also take care of my food, clothing, shelter and transportation."
"I just want to be close to Xiao An and don't want to waste time on these trivial matters."
Ning Tian's lips twitched, and his tone became somewhat resentful.
"no problem."
"He can't possibly win easily."
After she finished speaking, her gaze involuntarily drifted towards Ning Qingyun.
His eyes were full of resentment.
The resentment wasn't directed at Leng Yaozhu, but at her mother, Ning Qingyun.
To this day, she still doesn't understand what kind of succubus reincarnation that brat named Gu An is.
Why do so many people like him?
Her mother wanted to get close to him, and that titled Douluo also wanted to get close to him.
She really doesn't understand.
So what if he's a bit handsome?
She's quite good-looking herself; back in Shrek Academy, countless female students secretly admired her.
Ning Qingyun noticed the resentful look Ning Tian was giving her.
She didn't say anything, but simply reached out and gently patted Ning Tian's head in a soft voice.
"Take a good look."
"This is the reason I brought you back."
Hearing his mother say that...
Ning Tian suppressed his emotions and turned his attention back to the Soul Battle Arena.
On the Soul Fighting Stage at this moment.
Wu Feng has already released his martial spirit.
Two spirit rings rose from beneath her feet.
Yellow, yellow, two hundred-year-old soul rings pulsated around her.
A phantom of a red dragon appeared behind her.
The dragon's head was ferocious, its eyes were wide open, and its whole body exuded a scorching aura.
Wu Feng stood with his hands on his hips, his chin slightly raised, looking down at Gu An with a condescending gaze.
"Wu Feng, a level 25 offensive-type Soul Master, with the Martial Soul Red Dragon."
Gu An's lips twitched when he heard this idiotic recitation of the menu.
no way.
It's just a friendly exchange anyway, so let's do as the Romans do.
He stretched out one hand, with the other behind his back.
Beneath his feet, a ring of spirit rings slowly rose up.
Pitch black as ink.
A black light shone forth, and the spirit rings wrapped around Gu An's body, slowly rotating and emanating a heavy and oppressive aura.
Gu An's voice was gentle and indifferent as it rang in Wu Feng's ears.
"Gu An, a level 14 all-around battle spirit master, whose martial spirit is the Dragon and Phoenix Soul Flute."
The "all-around system" was something he made up on the spot.
Anyway, his martial soul can attack, control, and support, so calling it an all-around type isn't wrong.
