"Thank you, Young Master Ye, I am willing to try!"
She had not expected her teacher to entrust her with the entire teahouse.
You must know, this is a super large teahouse.
The area of a single floor alone is several thousand square meters, which instantly elevated Ye Feng in Zhu Zhuqing's heart by countless steps, earning her admiration.
"There's no need to be so polite. Also, is there something you'd like to beat the Shrek squad at the Continent-wide Senior Soul Master contest in person in the future?"
As for the teahouse, he had simply wanted to be an absentee shopkeeper.
However, Ye Feng did want to know Zhu Zhuqing's current attitude towards Shrek.
Because she had just mentioned wanting to join the Tian Dou Royal Academy.
If she no longer cared about Shrek, then there would be no need to arrange for her to join the Tian Dou Royal Academy. She could simply manage the teahouse while Ye Feng personally instructed her.
Even though he did not wish to take on disciples.
But now, Zhu Zhuqing had indeed become his first disciple.
As his disciple, Ye Feng would certainly cultivate her well.
He would teach her everything he could.
To help her grow rapidly.
If she had a grudge against Shrek or even wished to participate in the Continent-wide Senior Soul Master contest, she would need a student identity.
He could arrange for her to gain this identity.
To facilitate her participation in later battles.
"If one day I have the opportunity to defeat the Shrek squad led by Yu Xiaogang, I will give it my all!"
Zhu Zhuqing did not hesitate in her response.
In fact, she was harboring a strong sense of grievance!
Yu Xiaogang undeniably took advantage of her low level at Shrek Academy to bully her, making her the first target for his knife.
He wanted to replace her with Jiazhu or someone else who was level 35.
She knew all of this.
She had simply not said it aloud.
If she had the chance to compete, she would fight the Shrek squad with all her might!
She actually wanted to see what formidable team Yu Xiaogang had trained since then.
"Alright, then I will arrange for you to enter Tian Dou Royal Academy."
Ye Feng was now a teacher at the Tian Dou Royal Academy.
Arranging for someone to enter was not a big problem.
Especially for a talent like Zhu Zhuqing.
The Tian Dou Royal Academy couldn't welcome her fast enough.
The potential of Zhu Zhuqing, of the agile-attack class, is much higher than that of Yufeng.
"Thank you, Young Master Ye!"
Zhu Zhuqing was full of gratitude.
She had not expected not only to stay by her Young Master Ye's side but also to enter the Tian Dou Royal Academy.
"Alright, you seem quite in a hurry, go rest for now."
Ye Feng pressed a small bell.
"Young Master Ye, is there something you need?"
A female server entered.
"Xiaoqiao, take Miss Zhu Zhuqing to rest on the seventh floor."
Ye Feng instructed.
"The seventh floor?"
Upon hearing those words, the server looked utterly shocked.
The seventh floor had only a few rooms.
They were the rooms of the highest standard.
Each one far more luxurious than the presidential suites of regular hotels.
"Hmm, that room will be for Miss Zhu Zhuqing from now on. Also, starting today, she will be the manager of this teahouse responsible directly to me."
The server was a team leader in the teahouse, someone he had poached from elsewhere.
She was very capable.
"Understood!"
So, Zhu Zhuqing followed the girl to the seventh floor.
...
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, it was Sunday night.
This night, like before, was in Sunset Forest.
After Ye Feng finished teaching some movement skills for agile-attack class Soul Masters, it was already eleven at night.
Yesterday, Saturday night, and today, Sunday night.
Zhu Zhuqing's learning capacity was far more terrifying than he had imagined.
She could already use the movement skills proficiently.
"Young Master Ye, are we going back now?"
Zhu Zhuqing's face was filled with a smile at this moment.
Because she had just mastered a technique called movement skills.
Without using Soul Power, just by practicing that movement skill, her speed was already twice as fast as usual!
And with the use of Soul Power, it was even more incredible.
Her speed had increased three to four times from before!
She had only been training for two days.
So this made her extremely excited.
"Let's not go back for now. Tonight you have already reached a minor accomplishment in Wind God's Steps, and you're also level 30, so let's find a Soul Ring for you first before returning."
Ye Feng said to Zhu Zhuqing.
Wind God's Steps was an advanced movement technique rewarded by the System before.
It was also one of the movement techniques he was learning.
Zhu Zhuqing had achieved a minor accomplishment in just two nights, which was simply unbelievable. Ye Feng himself, even with his body enhanced by the System, took an hour to reach this level. He wasn't bragging like a Versailles; by his estimate, an ordinary Soul Master would take at least a year to achieve minor accomplishment with Wind God's Steps.
Since she had already achieved a minor accomplishment and was lacking a Soul Ring, tonight was a good opportunity for her to apply this technique in a real battle.
To see if there were any areas that needed correction.
"Hunting soul beasts?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing became even more excited.
She now really wanted to go back in time and knock some sense into her own head.
How great it would have been to accept Ye Feng as her mentor on the very first day she met him!
Instead, she had wasted so much time at Shrek.
Everything her mentor taught was solid stuff!
Unlike Master Yu Xiaogang, who would only have everybody carry stones every day.
It's not to say that carrying stones was ineffective.
That method of training did have some uses.
But it was the wrong direction.
Ye Feng also looked dismissively at Master Yu Xiaogang's training method.
Using a common expression, if there were three compulsory subjects in an exam: Chinese, English, and Mathematics,
you were only ever made to practice English, morning, noon, and night. It's not that practicing English all day is useless; it's useful, but what about Chinese? What about Mathematics? Are these not important?
With these thoughts, the group entered deep into the Sunset Forest.
Zhu Zhuqing was now at the level of the third Soul Ring.
They were looking for a thousand-year soul beast.
"This Nether Panther is not bad."
At night, they were lucky to encounter a Nether Panther with eyes glowing green in the darkness.
Zhu Zhuqing's Martial Soul was the Hell Spiritual Cat, and this Nether Panther was undoubtedly the most suitable soul beast for her!
"The Nether Panther is very fast, it's probably going to be difficult to catch it, right?"
Zhu Zhuqing looked at Ye Feng.
The Nether Panther was renowned for its speed and its deadly attacking prowess, making it an unseen night assassin and one of the most troublesome thousand-year soul beasts to deal with.
It was not going to be easy to hunt.
"Hmm, normally, it would indeed be difficult for you to catch up to the Nether Panther, but if you disable one of its legs and leave it dazed, it will roughly be at your level."
Ye Feng said this as he looked at the Nether Panther, preparing to hunt in the distance.
"Ah??"
Zhu Zhuqing had actually wanted to imply that it wasn't her who would have difficulty catching the Nether Panther,
but Ye Feng.
She knew her mentor was strong, but it was nighttime, and they were in the forest. The Nether Panther was extremely fast and completely black in color, allowing it to blend in with the night. Many renowned Soul Breaking Teams had claimed that hunting a Nether Panther at night was a hundred times more difficult than in the daytime.
"Like this, for example."
The moment Ye Feng's voice dropped,
Zhu Zhuqing found that he had vanished into thin air!!
Then, the next second, Ye Feng appeared beside Zhu Zhuqing,
Holding a panther!!
Yes, a panther! Grabbing its front legs with his left hand and the back legs with his right!
Zhu Zhuqing could clearly see the confused and startled look in the eyes of the Nether Panther! As if it had no idea what had happened, and then suddenly it appeared here!!
"Ow!!"
Finally, it realized what was happening.
To be captured by a human!!
This was a disgrace!
The Nether Panther had to retaliate. Just moments ago, it was out hunting for prey, about to pounce, but then this human had brought it here, no doubt causing it to lose its prey!!
So at that moment, the Nether Panther prepared to fiercely bite Ye Feng. It intended to consider this man as its dinner, and of course, this woman looked quite tasty too.
She could be breakfast for tomorrow or maybe even a day's worth of meals!
Never underestimate the Nether Panther; each year, soul beasts like it kill no small number of Soul Masters!!
It could easily bite through a human's neck or limbs.
As the Nether Panther turned around to bite, Zhu Zhuqing was just about to warn Ye Feng, but what happened next made her heart jolt violently!!
Ye Feng punched the Nether Panther in the head!!
"Hss—"
Zhu Zhuqing involuntarily gasped in shock.
So aggressive, so domineering!!
