Ning Rongrong's Grief and Indignation, Hiring a Killer

Chapter 77 Ning Rongrong's Grief and Indignation, Hiring a Killer

Chen Xin frowned, but then said with relief, "The most important thing for a swordsman is to cultivate his mind. Since I have announced that I will discuss the Dao of Swordsmanship with him on Tianjian Mountain in three years, I will be able to do so."

As long as he remains a practitioner of the sword path and the sword heart, he will not easily betray his inner convictions. If he knows this news, he won't easily barge in ahead of time.

"However, it could also be the Spirit Hall. We need to be careful when dealing with them. They may just be their vanguard probing, and their main force is still behind them."

Ning Fengzhi nodded upon hearing this, as he was very confident in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School's current defenses, which immediately put him at ease.

He guessed that those petty thieves outside had only flown in over the first, not-yet-complete, wall and wouldn't amount to much.

Little did they know that the wall had already been cleaved in two by Ye Yan's sword.

Heavenly Fighting City, Heavenly Fighting Soul Arena.

Since the preliminary rounds have ended, the qualifying rounds are now underway, with rankings based on a points system.

Only five teams will ultimately be able to travel to Wuhun City for the final competition.

On the first day, the match will be between Tianshui Academy and Chihuo Academy!

It's quite rare for the Five Elements Academy to encounter something like this on their first visit, especially since the students from both academies are dark horse contenders.

The Blazing Academy has gained a new member, Zhu Zhuqing, a beautiful woman who is not a fire-attribute martial soul but is incredibly hot.

The seven members of the Tianshui Academy used a sword technique they had never seen before, which immediately captivated everyone's attention.

After the competition started, Zhu Zhuqing went straight onto the stage.

The qualifying rounds are divided into 1v1 individual matches and 7v7 team matches.

One point is awarded for each individual victory, while ten points are awarded for each team victory!

This was something Zhu Zhuqing had agreed upon with everyone before going on stage; she wanted to go up first and be the vanguard.

The Huowu siblings had no reason to refuse such a request, so they let her go up and fight.

If one can achieve the feat of 1v7, one can become famous throughout the mainland!

After Zhu Zhuqing took the stage, she displayed her amazing strength, defeating five students from Tianshui Academy in succession.

Because they cannot use soul tools or rely on the help of others during the competition, they cannot use the ice sword made by Shui Bing'er.

Furthermore, none of the five people possessed the same level of soul power as Zhu Zhuqing, and with the added advantage of her movement technique, Zhu Zhuqing did not suffer significant depletion in these battles.

Shui Yue'er snorted coldly, "What the hell!"

But Shui Bing'er stopped her.

"I'll go. I think I'm her target."

During the battle, she noticed that Zhu Zhuqing had been observing her several times, so this time she let her go up first.

On the stage, Zhu Zhuqing said directly after Shui Bing'er came up: "Let's have a sword fight."

"A sword fight?"

Shui Bing'er wondered to herself, "Could it be that she was waiting for me to go on stage just for this?"

But if she has such a great advantage in soul power, why does she insist on fighting me with swords?

Moreover, on stage, no soul tools or weapons other than martial souls can be used. Even Shui Bing'er can only use the ice sword made by her martial soul, the Ice Phoenix.

"Make me a sword too," Zhu Zhuqing said, pointing to the ice phoenix behind Shui Bing'er.

Shui Bing'er didn't understand why Zhu Zhuqing was so persistent, but in terms of soul power, she couldn't compare to Zhu Zhuqing. If the other party used a sword like her, there would still be a glimmer of hope!

After all, they had already lost five people, while the other side had only sent Zhu Zhuqing!

"I can make weapons for you, but you have to agree to one condition."

"What are the conditions?"

"How about a single round to decide the winner? Whoever loses will be eliminated from the competition, and the team competition will be canceled."

It's like betting all ten points from the team competition on this!

Although Zhu Zhuqing was the vice-captain, she was not yet in a position to make decisions on her own. She looked at Huo Wushuang, who was the captain, behind her.

Huo Wushuang smiled faintly and readily agreed, "Okay, we agree!"

He believed in Zhu Zhuqing's strength and was certain she could defeat Shui Bing'er.

Now that the agreement had been reached, Shui Bing'er didn't dawdle and had the Ice Phoenix make an ice sword for Zhu Zhuqing.

The moment Zhu Zhuqing grasped the sword, her aura underwent a subtle change.

The audience below the stage also sensed this subtle feeling, as if Zhu Zhuqing was about to use her full strength!

Shui Bing'er was also stunned for a moment, because the aura emanating from Zhu Zhuqing was similar to that person!

But it's just imitation; it's not even close to being similar.

However, this also proves one thing: Zhu Zhuqing must also know that senior!

Thinking of this, Shui Bing'er smiled and began to use the sword techniques she had learned from Ye Yan.

Neither side used soul power or soul skills in this match, yet it was exceptionally exciting, leaving the surrounding spectators stunned.

In the end, it was Zhu Zhuqing who won by virtue of her speed.

"So you did learn this sword technique from that senior as well," Shui Bing'er said.

At this moment, she was no longer the cold, aloof beauty from the mountains; she and Zhu Zhuqing were more like long-lost best friends.

"Where is he now?"

Shui Bing'er shook her head.

"Since you know that senior, you should know that no one knows his whereabouts. Even if we get the news, it will probably be a long time after the incident."

However, she was very happy in this match against Zhu Zhuqing, and even though she lost the match, she still maintained a joyful expression on her face.

But another woman had a different mood.

Inside a passageway in the spectator area, Ning Rongrong looked at Zhu Zhuqing on the stage and finally remembered where she had seen her before!

Skyfire City, she and that guy are in cahoots!

They teamed up together in the Soul Arena in Skyfire City, she must know that guy with the black sword!

It was also in Skyfire City that Grandpa Bone met...

Thinking of this, Ning Rongrong's eyes welled up with tears.

Since she can't beat that bastard with the black sword, she'll start by collecting some interest from you!

Ning Rongrong then left the area and walked towards the back of the arena, where the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy team rested.

Although they are the second team, their treatment won't be much worse.

Ning Rongrong's identity wouldn't offer her any advantages in Yu Tianheng's team, but here...

"Miss Rongrong is back! How was it? Did you spot any rivals you didn't like? We'll take care of them for you!"

Although the disciples of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy are all children of nobles from various regions, they are still far inferior to the behemoth that is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.

As long as they can establish a relationship with Ning Rongrong, the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, they and the forces behind them will also benefit greatly!

So even if Ning Rongrong has a bad temper, they will tolerate it a little, because all of this is for the sake of successfully obtaining the money from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School later!

Ning Rongrong said coldly, "There really is someone I dislike. If any of you can kill her, I'll give you 100,000—no, 1 million gold soul coins!"
