Douluo Continent: Heavenly Mystery System

Chapter 23 Ye Xiaofeng Successfully Becomes an Apprentice

Even with Ning Rongrong's assistance, Han Lei and Lin Fei were able to withstand Ye Xiaofeng's self-created soul skill, but they were still seriously injured, although Han Lei was slightly better off than Lin Fei.

"The competition has officially ended. The champion of this sect competition is Ye Xiaofeng, the second place is Han Lei, and the third place is Lin Fei," Hall Master Lei announced the results after watching the final match.

Lei Tangzhu wasn't too surprised that Ye Xiaofeng won the championship, although some people gritted their teeth in anger. As for Han Lei getting second place, Lin Fei naturally had no objection; he was already out of fighting strength, and even though Han Lei was injured, he was still stronger than him.

"Thank you, Young Sect Master," Han Lei and Lin Fei quickly thanked Ning Rongrong.

"No need for formalities. Even if I don't make a move, Hall Master Lei will, after all, you are the hope of the sect." Ning Rongrong didn't take it too seriously.

"Now, please welcome the sect leader to present the awards," said Hall Master Lei, looking at Ning Fengzhi on the podium.

"The winners will now come up to the stage to receive their awards," said Master Lei from the side of the stage. Ye Xiaofeng and the other two slowly walked to the front of the stage.

"The third-place winner is Lin Fei. The sect will reward him with a 10-cubic-meter soul tool storage ring and 10 gold soul coins." As Hall Master Lei announced this, the contestants present began to stir with envy.

"The second place winner, Han Lei, will be awarded a 50-cubic-meter soul tool storage ring and 50 gold soul coins by the sect."

"The champion of this competition, Ye Xiaofeng, will be rewarded by the sect with a 100-cubic-meter soul tool storage ring and 100 million gold soul coins, as well as additional rewards to the best of the sect's ability."

None of the contestants present knew that the final winner would receive such a generous reward. Some contestants regretted not being stronger and couldn't help but feel envious upon seeing such a reward.

Ning Fengzhi presented the awards and smiled slightly when he saw the longing looks in the eyes of the contestants below the stage.

"To all the contestants, don't be too discouraged. I'm making an exception today and giving each of you 10000 gold soul coins. I hope you will continue to work hard and serve the sect even better." Ning Fengzhi smiled as he looked at the crowd below the stage. To him, this amount of money was nothing; he needed to win people's hearts.

"We swear to serve our sect to the death!" the people below the stage said, surprised that they would receive an extra generous reward.

"Ye Xiaofeng, you can ask me what you need," Ning Fengzhi said, turning to look at Ye Xiaofeng.

"Sect Master, may I speak to you in private?" Ye Xiaofeng said, forcing himself to speak.

"Come with me," Ning Fengzhi said, turning and leaving, with Ye Xiaofeng following behind.

"Everyone, disperse and go about your business," said Master Lei hurriedly. Since Ye Xiaofeng wanted to talk alone, he didn't need to follow him.

The other contestants were all enjoying themselves. 10000 gold soul coins were enough for them to spend for several years, or they could use the money to buy something nice at the auction house.

Ye Xiaofeng and the sect leader arrived at the conference room, with Sword Douluo and Bone Douluo following on either side. Of course, Ning Rongrong also came along.

"Ye Xiaofeng, you can speak now," Ning Fengzhi said with a smile.

"Disciple hopes that Senior Chenxin will accept me as his disciple," Ye Xiaofeng said again, forcing himself to speak.

"Kid, you really know how to ask for an exorbitant price. What do you take a Title Douluo for? You think you can just take me as your disciple just because you say so?" Bone Douluo was the first to object, interrupting, still upset about being ripped off for 5000 million gold soul coins.

"This is not something I can decide. You should ask Uncle Jian for his opinion." Even as the sect leader, Ning Fengzhi could not order the two elders to do things they did not like.

"Why should Grandpa Sword accept you as his disciple?" Ning Rongrong was also unhappy. In fact, on the way, Bone Douluo had spoken ill of Ye Xiaofeng to Ning Rongrong through telepathy.

"Young Sect Master, that is the sword in my hand," Ye Xiaofeng said coldly.

"It's fine to let Grandpa Sword take on a disciple, but you must promise that you will only be loyal to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School for the rest of your life." Ning Fengzhi originally wanted to tell his daughter not to talk nonsense, but she was right. If he was really willing to be loyal to the sect, even if Uncle Sword was unwilling, he would agree if he shamelessly asked Uncle Sword.

"Impossible," Ye Xiaofeng resolutely refused, not wanting to be bound by such conditions for the rest of his life.

"What did you say?" Ning Rongrong glared angrily at Ye Xiaofeng, and even Ning Fengzhi and Bone Douluo frowned slightly.

"A true man is born between heaven and earth; how can he remain subservient to others for long?" Ye Xiaofeng said coldly again.

"So you mean you're trying to get something for nothing?" Ning Rongrong said disdainfully.

"Sect Master, Young Sect Master, if you agree to my request today, with me, Ye Xiaofeng, by your side, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect will be able to prosper for a thousand years," Ye Xiaofeng said confidently.

"What if you don't agree?" Ning Rongrong understood Ye Xiaofeng's power, but he was not someone she could control.

"If you can't agree, I'll leave the sect." Ye Xiaofeng joined the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School to learn swordsmanship from Sword Douluo. If his wish cannot be fulfilled, he will not stay.

"Boy, what kind of place is the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School? You think you can just come and go as you please?" Bone Douluo gently twisted his hand in mid-air, lifting Ye Xiaofeng into the air. It felt like someone was choking him, making it hard for him to breathe.

"I heard that the sect leader was a man of great talent, but I never expected that he would turn out to be nothing more than a short-sighted person," Ye Xiaofeng said angrily.

"I agree to take you as my disciple, but remember what you just said." Sword Douluo's words interrupted the others' train of thought. Chen Xin wanted to take him as his disciple, but Ye Xiaofeng's words had angered the others, so he could only ask Ye Xiaofeng to guarantee that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School would not decline for a thousand years.

"Then let's go by Uncle Jian's suggestion." Ning Fengzhi originally wanted to see if Ye Xiaofeng could submit under Uncle Gu's coercion, but since Uncle Jian had agreed, he couldn't say anything more.

For Ning Fengzhi, Ye Xiaofeng either needs to be recruited or won over, but he must never be made an enemy. Ye Xiaofeng's future achievements will not be inferior to those of Sword Douluo, so the best approach now is to win him over.

Seeing that Bone Douluo had let go, Ye Xiaofeng did not immediately become his disciple; he continued to think about his own affairs.

"Sect Master, there is one more thing," Ye Xiaofeng said awkwardly.

"Kid, don't go too far. Even if he accepts you as his disciple, he can't let you do whatever you want." Bone Douluo looked at Ye Xiaofeng with displeasure, not expecting Ye Xiaofeng to push his luck.

"Is there anything else?" Ning Fengzhi asked Ye Xiaofeng with a puzzled look.

"Here's what happened. I won a little money gambling in the Great Soul Arena. I'm all alone and hope the Sect Master can grant my request," Ye Xiaofeng quickly told Ning Fengzhi.

"This is a small matter, you can just ask Hall Master Lei for help." Ning Fengzhi didn't understand Ye Xiaofeng's words and really thought it was a small matter. He was busy with his own affairs, so asking Hall Master Lei to solve this kind of problem was considered as agreeing to Ye Xiaofeng's request.

Ye Xiaofeng looked at Ning Fengzhi awkwardly, and Bone Douluo blushed immediately. In Ye Xiaofeng's eyes, losing 5000 million was just a small amount of money. Sword Douluo looked at Bone Douluo with a gloating expression.

"Why haven't you gone down yet?" Ning Fengzhi looked at Ye Xiaofeng. He had already agreed, but Ye Xiaofeng remained unmoved.

"Kid, you're trying to pull a tiger's mouth out of a tiger. This isn't going to be easy. The small amount of money you mentioned is a hot potato." Bone Douluo understood that Ye Xiaofeng wanted to get money from the Great Soul Arena, and he needed a powerful backer to get it.

"Sect Master, if you agree to help, I'm willing to pay the sect 2 million after it's done," Ye Xiaofeng said, seizing the opportunity.

"Are you trying to plunder the Great Soul Arena?" Ning Fengzhi smiled slightly. Although he was not short of money, 2 million was not a small amount.

"Kid, you're quite the businessman. Tell me honestly, how much did you win that time?" Bone Douluo still wouldn't let Ye Xiaofeng off the hook.

"I didn't actually win much, maybe 5 or 6 million," Ye Xiaofeng said, scratching his head and smiling innocently at Bone Douluo.

"Hmm," Ning Fengzhi frowned. Ye Xiaofeng was so young, yet he had so much money to gamble and won so much. No wonder he wanted to hitch a ride on his big ship.

"Oh my god!" Ning Rongrong quickly covered her mouth in surprise. Although the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School was very wealthy, it was impossible for them to come up with 5 or 6 million at once.

"Of course, if the two elders can also support me, I am willing to pay each of you 1 million as a reward." Ye Xiaofeng saw that Sect Master Ning was unmoved and seemed to be thinking about something, so he offered the temptation again.

"Boy, why don't you kneel down and pay respects to your master? We're practically family now, why be so formal?" Bone Douluo's expression immediately changed when he heard that he would also receive 1 million.

If Ye Xiaofeng offers a reward of 100 million, not only will he get back the 50 million he lost before, but he will also have an extra 50 million, which will save face for him.

"Disciple Ye Xiaofeng greets Master." Hearing the implication in Bone Douluo's words, Ye Xiaofeng immediately knelt on one knee before Sword Douluo Chen Xin.

"No need for formalities, no need to be bound by worldly etiquette." Sword Douluo Chen Xin has reached a level where he sees everything in a very open-minded way.

"Congratulations, Master, you have successfully become an apprentice. Your Soul Power level has increased by 5 levels." The voice of the Heavenly Mystery System, Xiao Bing, came again. Ye Xiaofeng disliked this terrible system very much. It only appeared when he completed a task, had a brief conversation with him, and then disappeared without a trace. He could no longer contact it.

"In that case, Uncle Jian will take charge of this matter." Ning Fengzhi was also tempted by Ye Xiaofeng's offer. Even though the Great Soul Arena was backed by the royal family, he still had to pay money if he lost.

4 million is no small sum. What's wrong with helping Ye Xiaofeng for a while? Why not?

At this moment, Hall Master Lei entered, smiling at everyone, and said, "Reporting to the Sect Master, the banquet is ready."

"Hmm," Ning Fengzhi nodded slightly, and then the group went to the restaurant for a meal.

"Your Highness, we've found out that Ye Xiaofeng was behind everything," Luo Shaotian reported to Xue Qinghe with his head bowed.

"Have you found out Ye Xiaofeng's identity yet?" Xue Qinghe asked Luo Shaotian coldly.

"Not yet. We only found out that Ye Xiaofeng came to the capital not long ago and then stayed at the Heaven and Earth. Later, Ye Xiaofeng won twice in the Great Soul Arena. I don't know how Manager Li found out. Then the two of them conspired to cheat us." Looking at the Crown Prince in front of him, Luo Shaotian wished he could chop himself into mincemeat and feed it to the dogs.

"Go to Heaven on Earth tonight and secretly deal with those two people." Xue Qinghe looked coldly at Luo Shaotian. Only by dealing with these two people could the losses in the Soul Arena be stopped.

"It's too late. Heaven and Earth has closed down. I've already found out that Ye Xiaofeng has joined the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Manager Li must be there too," Luo Shaotian continued, his voice trembling as he reported.

"Luo Shaotian, do you know why I didn't kill you and let you live?" Xue Qinghe looked at Luo Shaotian, gritting her teeth.

"Your Highness, spare my life!" Luo Shaotian immediately knelt down on the ground.

"Killing you would only dirty my hands, Ye Xiaofeng, I'll remember you." Xue Qinghe poured all her anger and hatred into Ye Xiaofeng.

"Go, get the money ready." Xue Qinghe knew that Ye Xiaofeng had joined the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, so it was no longer possible to kill him. He had to think of another way.

"Your Highness, are you really going to give it to me?" Luo Shaotian asked doubtfully.

"Are you a pig brain?" Xue Qinghe turned around and slapped Luo Shaotian across the face. He didn't expect Luo Shaotian to be so stupid. Ye Xiaofeng joined the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. With the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School as a backer, how could he not give it to him?

Luo Shaotian's eyes were seeing stars, his face was burning with pain, and blood was flowing from the corner of his mouth, but this was not the time to worry about that. As long as he didn't die, it was no big deal for Xue Qinghe to slap him.

"I'll take care of it right away," Luo Shaotian said, scrambling out of the room.
