Serpent Spear Douluo secretly glanced at the wound on his palm, his expression somewhat complicated.
Is the outcome truly unpredictable? He wasn't actually sure.
It can only be said that Lu Yuan truly deserves to be the genius valued by the young master. He has such strength at such a young age, and he even has a soul bone!
With the keen eyesight of the Serpent Spear Douluo, he felt that Lu Yuan's right leg soul bone was at least 50,000 years old.
What a genius! Such an enviable opportunity!
After leaving the Crown Prince's residence, Lu Yuan did not return to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy, but instead headed towards the Seven Treasures Trading Company.
In his battle with Qian Renxue, he was almost certain of victory, and Qian Renxue didn't even have time to react to the final blow!
If it weren't for the appearance of Serpent Spear Douluo, his water blade, if not defeating Qian Renxue outright, would at least have severely injured her.
Even if the opponent really unleashed their full power, Lu Yuan didn't think he would lose, after all, the opponent's hidden methods were only the Angel Domain and the power of the Six-Winged Angel Martial Soul.
But if the opponent was hiding something in this battle, didn't we also have something to hide?
With the Wind and Thunder Wings, the Thunder God Domain, and the blessing of the Twin Dragon King Soul Bones, it seems I've been hiding much more!
The Seven Treasures Trading Company is a merchant guild invested in by the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile School. It collects treasures from all over the world and is a place that almost every Soul Master must visit in their lifetime.
As a key investment target of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Lu Yuan receives a huge amount of money every year.
However, over the years, there have been very few things that have caught his eye.
He came here today simply because he received some news.
Qibao Trading Company recently acquired a piece of thunder magnetite and is even preparing to sell it!
Thunder Magnetite is a special treasure from outer space, a treasure coveted by thunder-attribute soul masters. A thunder magnetite the size of a fingernail can gather a magnetic field and attract thunder from heaven and earth, making it an indispensable item for thunder-attribute soul masters.
"Young Master Lu, you've arrived!"
"You must have come for the Thunder Magnetite, right? The sect leader specifically instructed that it be kept safe for you!"
As soon as Lu Yuan stepped into the Qibao Trading Company, a pretty receptionist came up to him. She was wearing a wine-red cheongsam that perfectly outlined her figure.
"I'm sorry to have troubled Uncle Ning."
"Please take me there!"
Lu Yuan nodded, a smile appearing on his face, and spoke gently.
Over the years, as Lu Yuan demonstrated his talent, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School began to invest in him. Although Lu Yuan knew that the investment was made because of his talent, he still accepted the favor.
In the world of Soul Masters, Lu Yuan believed that it was better to have one more friend than one more enemy. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School posed no threat to him, and he had no need to make enemies with them.
"Our sect leader often talks about you, saying that you are our eternal friend."
"Please come this way!"
These women, dressed in cheongsams and working at the Qibao Trading Company, are almost all from collateral branches of the Qibao Glazed Tile School. Before they awaken their soul power, they are trained and sent to work in various parts of the continent in order to make a living.
The woman before him was the same, except that the one responsible for entertaining Lu Yuan emanated some soul power fluctuations. Although not strong, she was still at the level of a Soul Venerable, and it seemed that she was in charge of something like the manager here.
Soon, Lu Yuan appeared in a secret room under her guidance!
The secret room was quite empty, with only a fist-sized golden magnet on an exhibition stand!
Looking at the golden magnet, Lu Yuan frowned slightly, revealing a hint of surprise.
He was certain that this was a thunder magnet, but its color, which was different from that of ordinary purple thunder magnets, made him somewhat puzzled.
"Young Master Lu, you are unaware of this. This Thunder Magnetite was recently found by my Seven Treasures Trading Company in a Thunder Swamp with a special magnetic field. Its effects far surpass those of ordinary Thunder Magnetites, and it is also imbued with some special powers that even Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo cannot analyze!"
"Finally, the sect leader said that divine objects possess spirits and should naturally have their masters, and clearly your talent is most suitable for this thunder magnet."
Meeting Lu Yuan's questioning gaze, the woman who was leading the way smiled slightly and immediately spoke.
Lu Yuan nodded, a hint of surprise on his face. His martial soul was showing a slight change!
So it goes without saying what kind of power this thunder magnet is imbued with!
Chapter 66 Ning Fengzhi: Shrek in the Groove
"A thunder magnet imbued with the power of Thor? That's quite an unexpected surprise!"
Lu Yuan looked at the golden thunder magnet, his eyes flashing, and a smile appeared on his face. He couldn't wait to reach out and grab the thunder magnet in his hand.
Feeling the power of Thor emanating from his hand, Lu Yuan nodded. Just as he had expected, this thunder magnet was indeed imbued with the power of Thor.
"Please thank Uncle Ning for me, I'll take this with me!"
Since he had accepted Ning Fengzhi's kindness, Lu Yuan did not stand on ceremony and immediately smiled and spoke.
As soon as Lu Yuan finished speaking, he clearly saw a hint of joy on the face of the woman leading the way.
He knew exactly why the woman was pleased; if he took the item, she would have completed her mission. Even if she didn't get a promotion, she would at least receive Ning Fengzhi's praise.
After all, taking this item signifies a deeper bond between himself and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, which is of great benefit to Ning Fengzhi, the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School.
Given this bond, even if something were to happen to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School in the future, the grown-up Lu Yuan would at least offer some protection.
After leaving the Seven Treasures Trading Company, Lu Yuan returned directly to the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
He then went inside and began to examine the thunderstone in his hand!
As Lu Yuan continuously channeled his soul power into the golden thunder magnet, it immediately began to emit a pale golden light, and a large amount of electricity crackled continuously.
Feeling the explosive electric current, Lu Yuan's gaze deepened, and his martial spirit throbbed even more intensely, a feeling he had never experienced before.
However, Lu Yuan soon sighed in disappointment, because he was unable to absorb it directly. In the past, he could easily absorb the thunder god energy clusters he captured in the heavenly tribulation thunderstorms, but this time he failed.
This was truly unexpected. Based on Lu Yuan's current deduction, there were only two reasons why he was unable to absorb it.
One possibility is that one's own soul power is insufficient to forcibly absorb it; the other possibility is that this thing truly cannot be absorbed.
However, he felt that the second reason was unlikely, and he thought it was probably because his soul power was still insufficient.
After putting away the Thunder Magnet, Lu Yuan secretly made up his mind to improve his soul power as soon as possible.
At the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, Ning Fengzhi looked at the intelligence he had just received and a smile crept onto his lips.
"Fengzhi, the gifts have been delivered, why are you smiling so happily?"
"The sect leader of the dignified Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School is actually happy because his relationship with a young boy is getting deeper and deeper. If this were to get out, probably no one would believe it!"
Ning Fengzhi's smile immediately attracted the attention of Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo.
A hint of helplessness flashed across Bone Douluo's face. He shook his head and spoke with some surprise.
He knew of Lu Yuan, but had never met him.
They were genuinely curious about the young man who had caught the attention of Chen Xin and Ning Fengzhi and given them treasures.
Just how outstanding must one be to receive such treatment?
"Uncle Gu, when you see Lu Yuan, you will know that everything I have done was worth it."
"It's a pity we couldn't recruit him into the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Otherwise, our school would surely have been able to take over from the Haotian School!"
Ning Fengzhi shook his head and spoke with great confidence. It was truly a pity that a genius who was rated as at least level 98 by Uncle Jian had slipped away like this.
If possible, he would even be willing to marry off his only daughter to Lu Yuan in an effort to strengthen his ties with him.
Unfortunately, the falling flowers are willing, but the flowing water is indifferent!
Dugu Bo and Ye Cixin have already firmly secured their positions. Given Rongrong's personality, even if she were to go, she probably wouldn't have much of a chance and might even humiliate herself.
With a deep sigh, Ning Fengzhi flipped through the intelligence reports again, and soon a report from Soto City caught his attention.
After reading it, he fell into thought for a moment, and a serious expression appeared on his face. Then, this serious expression became more and more frightening.
This letter was not intelligence; rather, it was a letter from Ning Rongrong, Ning's daughter.
The letter recounted various events at Shrek Academy, leaving Ning Fengzhi somewhat dumbfounded!
Especially after seeing that several of the other party's students had a grudge against Lu Yuan, whom he had just invested in, and wanted to secretly deal with them?
No, I have to drop out of school. I absolutely have to drop out. This is unacceptable.
We've just strengthened our connection with Lu Yuan, and this lousy little Shrek Academy is trying to instigate my daughter to go against him.
If you had powerful connections, that would be one thing, but what a bunch of scoundrels these are.
A mutated chicken that forces civilians to work, a foreign prince who is stranded in another country and dares not return home, a scoundrel with the martial soul Blue Silver Grass, and a rabbit that likes to cause trouble!
What Ning Fengzhi found most unbearable was his mentor!
It turned out to be that useless member of the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family.
Ning Fengzhi was chosen as the young master of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School from a young age because of his extraordinary talent and wisdom.
He had some contact with Yu Xiaogang, the son of Thunder Douluo, and had even learned about him.
A lousy person with less than half a level of innate soul power who plagiarized theories from the Spirit Hall by flattering the current Pope Bibi Dong is actually called a master!
He even taught his daughter to mind her own business and not to have an ambiguous relationship with her cousin!
Ning Fengzhi knew everything about Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong's affair.
Even now, because of this incident, the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus family is still secretly gossiped about behind their backs.
The reason why Yu Yuanzhen has always stayed in the family may not be entirely unrelated to the fact that he is too ashamed to go out because of his son's embarrassment.
In the original novel, the reason why Ning Fengzhi respected Yu Xiaogang so much was because he knew that Tang San had twin martial souls and that he had purchased a large number of hidden weapons.
Now, wow!
Having made up his mind, Ning Fengzhi planned to make Ning Rongrong drop out of school as soon as she returned to Tiandou City. What could she possibly learn in such an academy?
The original intention was to let Rongrong experience hardship at Shrek Academy and temper her character in a tough environment.
That won't do now. He's worried that his daughter might be corrupted by these people!
Although his daughter was unruly and had a princess complex, Ning Fengzhi didn't think it was a big problem. After all, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School had the resources to settle everything for her.
For the sect leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, everything about Ning Rongrong was tolerable, except for the importance of assessing the situation. At least this time, Ning Fengzhi thought Ning Rongrong did a good job, not acting rashly and deciding to deal with Lu Yuan with this group.
There's no need for the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to provoke someone who will reach at least level 98 in the future, or even break through to level 99.
On the contrary, leaving behind goodwill and helping them grow is what we should do!
Chapter 67 Encounter with Shrek
One month after Lu Yuan obtained the Thunder Magnetite.
Today the weather is fine and sunny, and a gentle breeze caresses my face, bringing a sense of comfort.
The tender green leaves rustled in the breeze.
Four thousand meters above Tiandou City, Lu Yuan was caught in a thunderstorm.
Although he couldn't absorb the power of the Thunder God within the Thunder Magnet, Lu Yuan found a new use for it!
Retrieving a thunder magnet from a thunderstorm you've created not only allows the storm to spread, but also greatly increases the chance of attracting thunder god energy.
Amidst the thunderstorm that stretched for a kilometer, Lu Yuan enjoyed meditating with his eyes closed. Although he felt slight pain as the thunder intensified, he didn't care.
The pain constantly reminded Lu Yuan that he was not strong enough and that he was still far from truly mastering lightning.
The thousand-meter-high thunderstorm cloud should have plunged the entire Heaven Dou City into darkness, but under the control of the Wind and Thunder Wings, even a Title Douluo wouldn't be able to easily discover Lu Yuan's whereabouts.
While Lu Yuan was meditating, things were indeed somewhat disharmonious at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
It was all because Qin Ming, the teacher on whom the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy had placed high hopes, actually wanted to take Yu Tianheng with him and drop out of the school.
Despite the repeated attempts by the three education committee members to persuade them to stay, Qin Ming and Yu Tianheng were determined to drop out and leave Tiandou Royal Academy.
"Qin Ming, since that's the case, then we won't try to persuade you anymore."
"You have great talent. Although your fifth spirit ring is purple, it is not impossible for you to become a Title Douluo in the future."
"We originally wanted you to take over our future role, but since you've made up your mind, we won't say anything more. We just hope your path as a Soul Master will be smooth sailing!"
Meng Shenji, one of the three education committee members, stepped forward and spoke with great regret.
Meng Shenji really valued Qin Ming. Qin Ming's talent had inspired him to train him countless times, but he never expected things to turn out this way.
As he left the Education Commission, a hint of excitement appeared in Yu Tianheng's eyes.
I can finally train under my uncle's side. With my uncle's abilities, he will definitely be able to make me stronger.
