Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan exchanged a glance, their expressions filled with astonishment and seriousness, yet also revealing a hint of joy.
They didn't have much competition with Su Cheng.
The stronger Su Cheng became, the more advantageous it would be for the combat team, and the greater the hope of winning future matches.
Especially Yu Tianheng, burdened with the family's expectations and not particularly assertive by nature, subconsciously had a bit of a mentality to latch onto a strong figure.
On Su Cheng's side, seeing no one daring to challenge, he disregarded Ji Yuan, who was still in shock in front of him, and turned to look at Meng Shenji.
"Teacher Meng?"
After the initial surprise, a smile reappeared on Meng Shenji's face.
His mindset was completely different now.
Before, he only saw potential in Su Cheng's talent, but his actual combat strength was still a question mark.
Disrupting the current division of interests within the academy for this was very unwise.
Even for them, as Soul Douluo-level powerhouses, they were not without constraints in this power vortex.
But now, looking again, compared to what Su Cheng could bring them, the price they paid was definitely bearable.
Three years later, facing the so-called Golden Generation of the Martial Soul Temple might not be without the power to fight.
As a dark player buried by the Martial Soul Temple in the Tian Dou Empire years ago, he also understood the situation of the Martial Soul Temple Academy.
Especially the Holy Maiden, with extraordinary talent and the personal guidance of the Pope. Her strength was probably unmatched among her peers.
Thinking of this, he took the initiative to approach, patting Su Cheng's shoulder very intimately.
Looking at the students on the square, he said lightly, "Since no one dares to challenge, let's disperse. Focus on cultivating and don't always look down on others. Yu Tianheng, Dugu Yan, come with me."
After speaking, he led a few people towards the Teaching Committee.
After they left, the remaining students also dispersed, discussing in twos and threes as they left the place.
Today's match indeed opened many people's eyes. But it was limited to this. There were countless geniuses in the world of Soul Masters. What did it have to do with ordinary people like them? Most of it was just for entertainment.
However, apart from the part of the students who were likely to be selected for the combat team, there was another small group who were very concerned about Su Cheng.
"Fourth Prince, should we try to approach him?"
Xue Beng's eyes flickered slightly, pondering for a moment before saying, "Let me contact Uncle first."
"It's better to do it sooner rather than later. Those members of the Teaching Committee have always had a good relationship with the Crown Prince."
...
On the way, Ning Fengzhi walked beside Su Cheng with a friendly smile, probing, "Su junior, I noticed that when you were using swordsmanship just now, there didn't seem to be any signs of using soul ring skills?"
Several members of the Teaching Committee and Yutian Heng also perked up their ears upon hearing this.
Even Ning Rongrong, who had been silent with her head down, looked up.
"It's not much, Master Ning. Since childhood, I've enjoyed experimenting with soul techniques on my own, so I've stumbled upon some tricks by accident."
"..." Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan exchanged glances, speechless.
Your "experimenting" and "accidental discoveries" sound quite casual.
However, Meng Shenji and the others secretly thought it was indeed the case.
It really was a self-created soul technique.
Although with their level, they couldn't understand the mystery of Severing Pulse and Continuing Qi Method, but it was quite obvious that those three sword techniques were not soul ring skills.
Especially the last one, its power far exceeded the same level.
Although they didn't feel the oppressive feeling directly, just seeing his back could cast a shadow over their hearts.
Among them, Meng Shenji felt particularly deeply due to his own martial soul characteristics.
He believed that if they were at the same level, his own performance would definitely not be better than Ji Yuan's.
Ning Fengzhi's eyes shimmered even more at this moment, thinking of many things.
Why was the Haotian Sect strong? Was it because of the so-called "world's number one weapon martial soul" title of the Haotian Hammer?
Wrong.
It was because of the Haotian Ultimate Skill created by Tang Chen back then, which endowed the Haotian Hammer with power far superior to other top martial souls.
If Su Cheng's soul techniques also had universality...
Su Cheng glanced at the group, not saying anything more.
In fact, he didn't originally intend to use these sword techniques, especially the last one. He wasn't planning to use it even as an opening move.
There was no way, these members of the academy's Teaching Committee had a close relationship with Qian Renxue disguised as Xue Qinghe. He was worried that being too conspicuous would easily attract her attention.
But when he saw Ning Fengzhi's reaction, he changed his mind.
With his current channels, he originally had no chance to directly contact the higher-ups, which would require a lot of time.
But today was the perfect opportunity, as Ning Fengzhi happened to be visiting here.
Considering the character of this old guy, after witnessing his potential, there was a high probability that he would take action. It was completely worth a gamble.
As for Ning Rongrong's impression, it didn't matter much. It would be good to win her favor, making it easier to get closer to Chen Xin later on.
But his previous slip of the tongue probably already left a bad impression, though it wasn't a big problem.
Adults talk about interests, not feelings.
Especially people like Ning Fengzhi.
Sure enough.
After hearing his answer, Ning Fengzhi's smile became even brighter, and his gentle tone was like a warm spring breeze.
"Su junior, are you interested in accompanying me on a trip to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect later? I believe Sword Douluo Uncle would be delighted to see such a talented individual with a sword martial soul."
"It would be my honor. I just don't know about the arrangements from the academy..." Su Cheng glanced at Meng Shenji and the others.
"You can go. Our academy doesn't have many restrictions on students' freedom." Meng Shenji glanced at the two of them and didn't stop them.
For a Soul Master school like the Tian Dou Royal Academy, their attitude towards students was relatively lenient.
Except for the combat team members needing to start training and bonding before matches, cultivation was mainly based on freedom.
After all, each Soul Master's martial soul had different attributes, and there were enough simulation training grounds in the academy to choose from. Even the courses were optional; as long as they met the graduation standards of the advanced academy, it was fine.
It was quite rare to have collective training like at Shrek Academy, where teachers were numerous and students were few, and they were supervised from start to finish.
...
"What did you say? Su Cheng went to the Tian Dou Royal Academy?!"
In the study, Qian Renxue looked at the Snake Spear Douluo opposite her with a surprised expression.
With her current infiltration into the royal family and her relationship with Meng Shenji and others, everything that happened in the academy naturally couldn't escape her notice.
"Yes. And after defeating a senior student on the spot, he was directly selected into the Royal Combat Team and then went to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect with Ning Fengzhi." The Snake Spear Douluo nodded, "And it's said that he used a set of self-created soul techniques at the time, suppressing all the students present and no one dared to challenge him again."
Qian Renxue nodded slightly, pondering silently. She had no doubt about Su Cheng's ability.
"Bring me the detailed information about that time." After a moment, she looked at the Snake Spear and said in a deep voice, "In addition, when he returns to the academy from the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, report to me immediately."
After the messenger left, Qian Renxue lightly tapped her slender fingers on the table. "Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect..."
However, no matter what, Ning Fengzhi was her nominal teacher now. It shouldn't have any impact, she presumed.
