These two rings were clearly a pair.
Although Ning Rongrong’s status within the clan wasn’t low, given her current age, it was obviously impossible for her to independently manage such high-value soul tool rings.
There was a high probability that Ning Fengzhi intentionally left the soul tool rings in an inconspicuous but noticeable corner for Ning Rongrong to take.
If he handed them to Ning Rongrong personally, given her age, she would probably “sell out” Ning Fengzhi directly.
It seems the Sect Master is secretly pushing for Rongrong and me to be engaged from childhood, Ning Tianchen thought to himself.
However, he wasn’t opposed to it.
Being engaged to the Sect Master’s daughter meant he would never have to worry about cultivation resources in the future.
Haha, latching onto this little rich girl made his transmigration to the Douluo Continent worthwhile.
Anyway, he was also a sect disciple, so doing this didn’t count as freeloading.
“Thank you, Rongrong.
I really like your gift.
But you can’t secretly steal things,” Ning Tianchen smiled and probed.
Ning Rongrong put her hands on her hips and said angrily, “I didn’t!
Rongrong found this under her pillow.
If Brother Tianchen wasn’t so good to Rongrong, Rongrong wouldn’t be willing to give the other ring to you.”
Ning Tianchen understood in his heart.
Before long, all the inner and outer sect disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan who had recently awakened their martial souls gathered at the martial arts arena.
The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan was a large sect, after all.
The total number of inner and outer sect disciples exceeded three thousand.
For outer sect disciples to enter the inner sect to study, their innate soul power had to be level six or above.
Where there are people, there is competition.
Before these disciples came, they must have been instructed by their respective parents—winning over Ning Rongrong equaled glory and wealth for their entire family.
Seeing the intimate behavior between Ning Tianchen and Ning Rongrong, these people couldn’t help but grit their teeth.
Feeling their gazes, Ning Tianchen chuckled inwardly.
A bunch of kids who don’t even know how to hide their thoughts.
However, he was also a six-year-old child now.
Even if he won over Ning Rongrong, he couldn’t do anything.
The clan deacon responsible for teaching at the arena separated the battle soul masters from the auxiliary soul masters.
“Brother Tianchen, after school, Rongrong wants to go to Heaven Dou City to eat candy,” Ning Rongrong hastily added before they separated.
“Okay, okay, okay.” Ning Tianchen agreed to everything.
As battle soul masters, the most important thing was naturally combat training.
The teaching situation in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan was completely different from the primary soul master academies on the continent.
General primary soul master academies focused on teaching soul master theory.
It was only when they reached intermediate soul master academies that combat training courses would be offered.
For a large sect like the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan, they cultivated the combat skills of battle soul masters right after their martial souls were awakened.
As for martial soul theory, disciples usually went to the sect’s academy to learn it on their own.
The deacon in charge of teaching spoke, “I am Jiang Fei, your teacher.
Starting tomorrow, you will undergo a six-year sect special training.
For every five days of cultivation, you will have two days off.
I hope that during these two days off, you will go to the sect academy on your own to supplement your theoretical knowledge.
Soul masters must not only improve their soul power and strength but also not neglect book knowledge.
Every once in a while, I will randomly check your soul master theory.
If anyone fails to pass, their future training load will be doubled.”
“Ah~” the children complained one after another.
At the age of six, being playful is a child’s nature.
A transmigrator like Ning Tianchen might be able to control his playful heart, but these children couldn’t.
However, the sect was pouring massive resources into them, so it was normal for the training to be a bit harsher.
After all, despite their immense wealth, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan didn’t want the cultivation resources they spent to go down the drain.
“Next, let me see your foundation.”
While speaking, Jiang Fei’s gaze fell on Ning Tianchen.
The Sect Master had personally given instructions regarding him.
Ning Tianchen was originally trained as an auxiliary soul master.
Suddenly switching to a battle soul master, it was inevitable that he would be somewhat unaccustomed to it.
“Ning Tianchen, if you find it difficult to adapt, you can watch from the sidelines for two days first.
After two days, you can spar with the others.”
Ning Tianchen shook his head.
“No need, I can do it.”
Jiang Fei nodded slightly.
“Since that’s the case, all of you pick your own opponents.
There is only one requirement: no pulling punches and no going easy on each other!”
For a time, many children cast provocative glances at Ning Tianchen.
Although they didn’t understand romantic love, they knew that if they wanted to get Ning Rongrong’s attention, they first had to deal with this eyesore, Ning Tianchen.
“What, you want to spar with me?” Ning Tianchen smiled faintly.
Facing a siege without panicking, this temperament is truly not bad.
No wonder he is highly regarded by the Sect Master, Jiang Fei couldn’t help but praise inwardly.
Even for some older soul masters, facing a siege from so many people, it would be hard to guarantee they wouldn’t panic.
To be as unflappable as Ning Tianchen was truly rare.
“You can’t just pick one person.
Since you all want to spar with Ning Tianchen, let Tianchen pick his opponent.”
Ning Tianchen knew that if he picked the weakest one, even if he defeated his opponent, the others would still be dissatisfied and might even constantly look for him to spar.
At this stage, he needed to hone his swordplay and couldn’t waste too much time on sparring.
“Who among you is the strongest?” he asked.
Throw a punch to avoid a hundred punches!
The tallest chubby boy took the initiative to step forward, rubbing his fists.
“Fight me.
If you lose, consciously leave Eldest Miss Rongrong and never appear in front of her again.”
Ning Tianchen smiled faintly.
“Beat me first, then you can think about that.”
Saying that, he patted the wooden sword slung on his back and asked Jiang Fei, “Can I use this wooden sword?”
For soul scholars without soul rings, fighting with a martial soul takes a huge toll.
Therefore, in sparring, weapons of the same type as the martial soul were often used to fight instead.
Jiang Fei didn’t object.
The chubby boy’s martial soul was a Black Bear, a type of beast martial soul.
He raised his head and said proudly, “My innate soul power is level seven, just wait to lose.”
The Black Bear martial soul didn’t fully possess his body.
His hands turned into bear paws as he actively launched an attack at Ning Tianchen.
The wooden sword flourished in Ning Tianchen’s hand, followed by an upward slash.
The dull blade struck the chubby boy’s palm, making him retract his hand in pain.
How does he have so much strength?
The chubby boy was horrified.
Before he could catch his breath, the spectating children started jeering, “Boss, don’t hold back!
Quickly teach that kid a lesson and let him see your power!”
The chubby boy gritted his teeth and stretched out his palms, revealing sharp bear claws.
Ning Tianchen stepped back with his right leg, the tip of the wooden sword pointing straight at the chubby boy.
Without waiting for the opponent to strike first, his right leg pushed off forcefully, and his body shot forward.
The wooden sword thrust out.
The chubby boy seemed to lose his composure and, caught off guard, actually chose to use both hands to block in front of him.
The tip of the wooden sword was quite sharp.
If this sword landed, the chubby boy’s palms would definitely be pierced.
This was just a sparring session, and he was still a child himself.
Showing too much ruthlessness wouldn’t be good for his own image.
