Chapter 10 The Young Lady Arrives
The morning sun rises.
Shrek Square was already packed with people, and the sounds of discussion were incessant.
"What? Dean Yan has taken on another personal disciple. I wonder which little monster it is this time?"
"Don't push, don't push, let me see..."
"Twelve years old, a level thirty-three Soul Master?! This child is terrifying!"
"It's Lin Feng from Class 9 of the freshmen. Teacher Mu Jin has really struck gold this time."
Not far away, Ning Tian and Wu Feng, who were walking side by side, also heard the surrounding discussions.
Ning Tian gently tugged at Wu Feng's sleeve and whispered, "Wu Feng, did you hear that? They're talking about Lin Feng from our class? But wasn't he only level 30 just last week? This cultivation speed... is just too outrageous."
Wu Feng's expression remained indifferent, but a hint of shock flashed in his eyes: "I didn't expect it to be this fast either. However, it makes sense. His first and second spirit rings are both of ten-thousand-year quality, which destined him to be extraordinary."
"A ten-thousand-year-old spirit ring?! Are you really sure?"
Ning Tian widened his eyes slightly, and after confirming it several times, his opinion of Lin Feng completely changed.
She originally thought her talent was no less than Lin Feng's, after all, they were both twelve years old and their soul power had reached level thirty.
Furthermore, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda is a top-tier auxiliary weapon spirit on the continent, and it once produced a deity.
But when faced with Lin Feng now, that faint sense of superiority vanished instantly.
As usual, Lin Feng passed by Shrek Square and encountered Ning Tian and Wu Feng, who were lingering there.
"Lin Feng, good morning!" Ning Tian greeted him with a smile.
It should be noted that ever since Ning Tian was warned by Ma Xiaotao last time, he has been intentionally or unintentionally keeping his distance from Lin Feng.
Raymond Lam was also a little surprised, but still smiled and replied, "Good morning, you guys are up so early too?"
He didn't think much of it, taking it as just a normal greeting between classmates.
The three of them then walked together toward the teaching building.
As soon as Ning Tian entered Class 9, he pulled up a chair and naturally sat down next to Lin Feng.
"Lin Feng, Wu Feng told me everything," she blinked, her tone curious, "I'm curious, is your third spirit ring... a thousand-year one, or ten-thousand-year one?"
"Wu Feng, what did you promise me?" Lin Feng chuckled.
"You rascal, you weren't this proper when you were taking advantage of me," Wu Feng scoffed. "Ning Tian is my sister, what's wrong with me confiding in her?"
"Alright, alright, I'm a bad boy," Lin Feng confessed with a smile. "My third spirit ring is ten thousand years, ten thousand years, okay? I need to catch up on some sleep, don't call me unless it's important."
"You still dare to sleep? Have you forgotten what happened with Optimus Prime last time?" Wu Feng reminded him with a wicked smile.
Lin Feng jolted awake, instantly realizing he had almost forgotten his plan to "reward" the naughty boy in front of him.
"The past is too painful to recall, so I'm not going to sleep," he rubbed his temples and looked at the two of them. "By the way, I'm planning to go out for training alone next week. Do you want to come along? If I remember correctly, you've both reached level 30 by now."
"Just the three of us going? Without a teacher to lead the way... won't that be too dangerous?"
"I don't necessarily need to acquire a spirit ring. I'll deal with it when I find a suitable one. Let's just treat it as a stroll. Besides, who am I? I won't brag any further."
Ning Tian thought for a moment, then smiled slightly: "Alright then, it'll be a good opportunity to see the strength of Dean Yan's personal disciple and broaden my horizons."
"I have no objection," Wu Feng replied coldly.
Time flies and a new week begins.
The three met at the gates of Shrek City as agreed.
Lin Feng once again sneaked out without Ma Xiaotao's knowledge.
However, he learned his lesson and left a letter, hoping to lessen the "punishment" upon his return.
"My dear young lady, are you really here for training, dressed like this?" Lin Feng looked Ning Tian up and down, his tone slightly teasing.
Ning Tian snorted and tugged at the hem of her elegant long dress: "Mind your own business. Shrek's school uniform is ugly and stiff. I'm tired of wearing it. I don't know which blind guy designed it."
Her short blonde hair was styled more elegantly than usual, and although she still had a masculine appearance, her brows now showed a rare touch of gentleness.
This elegant attire was a stark contrast to her usual aloof demeanor at the academy.
When dealing with others, she always maintained a detached and restrained demeanor, much like a witch.
Only in front of Lin Feng did she shed all pretense, and her girlish nature naturally emerged.
Sure enough, as soon as they passed through the bustling streets, Ning Tian slowed down.
The dazzling array of shops instantly caught her eye.
Having finally gotten a day off, she immediately grabbed Wu Feng and they started strolling around with great interest.
Unable to win the argument, Lin Feng had no choice but to resign himself to becoming a follower and porter.
"Lin Feng, what do you think of this dress?" Ning Tian picked up a dress and held it up against himself.
"It looks good." Lin Feng said without looking up.
"Can't you give me some serious advice?" Ning Tian muttered.
"Okay, it really looks good," Lin Feng replied helplessly.
He realized that Ning Tian was treating him like a prospective boyfriend.
In contrast, Wu Feng was quiet and didn't talk much, but she tried on clothes just as frequently as Ning Tian. Sure enough, this tomboy was still a girl after all.
Just when Lin Feng was feeling utterly hopeless, his gaze was suddenly drawn to a shop window.
There was a lace nightgown hanging there, the same style as Ma Xiaotao's.
A thought struck him, and he walked inside as if possessed.
"Boss lady, please wrap up all of these sets, including the black, white, pink, and red ones."
Lin Feng pointed to the silk pajamas and said.
Ning Tian and Wu Feng followed in and were both stunned upon hearing this.
"Lin Feng, what are you buying all this for?" Ning Tian couldn't help but ask.
"Uh... would you believe me if I said Sister Xiaotao asked me to buy it for her?" Lin Feng tried to evade the question.
"Bad apple! Pervert!" Wu Feng bluntly stated.
"Hey, give me some face in public, okay..." Lin Feng awkwardly touched his nose.
The proprietress gave him an "I understand" smile, deftly wrapped up the clothes, and handed them over. Lin Feng reluctantly took the paper bag.
"I'm not in the mood anymore, let's go."
Ning Tian suddenly pursed his lips, turned around and walked towards the shop door, his tone clearly carrying a hint of jealousy.
"Alright, let's head straight to Sunset Forest then." Lin Feng sighed.
As they drove out of the city, a subtle silence filled the air among the three of them; none of them spoke again.
"We've finally arrived! The air here is so fresh!"
It wasn't until they reached the outer edge of Sunset Forest that Lin Feng broke the silence that followed.
Seeing that the two still didn't respond, he raised the corners of his mouth slightly and added, "But why does it seem like there's a strong smell of jealousy mixed in?"
"Stop talking nonsense and help me find a soul beast," Ning Tian finally spoke, his tone still carrying a hint of lingering anger. "I need one that's 1,500 years old."
"Actually, you could try the one from two thousand years ago."
"Two thousand years? We're not some freak like you, how could we absorb so much beyond our level?"
"I have a way," Lin Feng said seriously. "I can transfer my life force to assist you and increase the success rate of absorption. You know Tang Ya from the Tang Sect, right? Her third spirit ring was two thousand years old, and I was the one who helped her back then."
"Senior Tang Ya? I do know her..." Ning Tian's tone softened a bit, and after hesitating for a moment, he said, "Alright, I'll trust you this time."
Ning Tian and Tang Ya are both direct descendants of the original Shrek Seven Devils, so they are somewhat connected, but the situations of their respective sects are vastly different.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is one of the major sects of the time, while the Tang Clan has been reduced to only three people, plus Lin Feng, that makes four.
After determining their destination, the three began to venture deeper into the forest.
Thanks to Lin Feng's precise mental detection, they were extremely efficient at searching for soul beasts and quickly disappeared into the lush forest.
