—------------------—
The door opened.
Ning Fengzhi and Ning Rongrong entered.
"Sect Master Ning, how do you do?"
Bone Douluo's figure had already vanished. Tang San stood at the doorway, smiling as he bowed to Ning Fengzhi. Flender, Yu Xiaogang, and others stood beside Tang San.
Ning Fengzhi's gaze towards Tang San shifted repeatedly, but he quickly recovered, maintaining a gentle smile and kindly saying, "Xiao San, may I call you that?"
"You are Rongrong's father, of course you may." Tang San nodded.
The reason for Ning Fengzhi's change was none other than the recent revelation that Tang San's father was Clear Sky Douluo Tang Hao.
This immediately disrupted his original plan. Taking action was out of the question; it seemed cooperation was the only way.
The final outcome was almost identical to the original, except for the price, which was much lower than in the original due to the absence of 'Qiluo Tulip'. Other than that, nothing changed.
The reason Ning Fengzhi agreed to this cooperation was not for Tang San's sake, but entirely because of Tang Hao's appearance.
Otherwise, Ning Fengzhi would never have agreed to such cooperation.
Looking at the blueprint for the Hidden Weapons parts in his hand, Ning Fengzhi nodded in approval. He didn't linger long, simply exchanged a few words, gave Ning Rongrong some instructions, and then rose to leave the courtyard.
Originally, he had wanted to go see Shi Quan, but Tang Hao's sudden appearance made him lose interest.
As soon as Ning Fengzhi walked out of the Academy, Bone Douluo's figure reappeared beside him.
"How was it, Bone Uncle?"
Bone Douluo replied solemnly, "It is indeed Tang Hao, and judging from Tang Hao's spirit power fluctuations, his strength is at least at level ninety-three or above."
"Fengzhi, what do we do now? I didn't expect that a Clear Sky Sect stood behind Tang San."
Ning Fengzhi's brows were tightly furrowed. "Rongrong is currently Tang San's classmate and teammate. With this relationship as a foundation, there's no need to worry for now. Moreover, I've reached an agreement with Tang San for cooperation, so there are no problems for the time being."
"Then what about Shi Quan and Dugu Bo?"
Ning Fengzhi said indifferently, "That's their conflict. What does it have to do with my Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect?"
"You mean you won't interfere?"
"Of course I won't interfere. Tang San is a deep-minded and stubborn person; he cannot be trusted too much. Maintaining cooperation is enough. As for Shi Quan, he is extraordinarily intelligent and thorough in his actions. Maintain a relationship with him, and find an opportunity to reveal Tang San's identity to him. This way, he'll remember our kindness. As for how he handles it, that's up to him."
"That's good. This way, we don't offend either side." Bone Douluo nodded.
… …
"Xiao San, Ning Fengzhi and the others have left. During this time, I will go to Sunset Forest to investigate Dugu Bo's whereabouts. You and Xiao Wu should train well in the Academy and don't run around." Tang Hao's voice echoed in Tang San's ears.
Tang San nodded in agreement.
Morning training concluded.
Not long after lunch, Teacher Qin arrived outside the Shrek Academy's courtyard.
He led the group towards the Heaven Dou Battle Team's exclusive training ground.
Without comparison, there is naturally no harm. When everyone saw the dazzling array of training equipment on the exclusive training ground, they then realized the disparity.
"Teacher Qin."
By the time Teacher Qin brought the Shrek Academy group, Shi Quan and the others had already begun basic warm-up physical training on the training ground.
Teacher Qin nodded slightly, then proceeded to introduce the Shrek Academy group: "Dean, all of these training equipment are for targeted training. For example, this one is for arm strength, this one for abdominal strength, this one for leg strength…"
Yu Xiaogang heard this and couldn't help but nod in approval. "As expected of the Royal Academy. These training equipment are interconnected and indeed each possess unique merits."
"Then thank you, Grandmaster Yu, for your affirmation of our Shi Quan." Dugu Yan said sarcastically from not far away.
Ning Rongrong couldn't help but stifle a laugh; she was well aware of the origin of these equipment. They were all created by Shi Quan, one after another.
It was precisely because of these equipment that Shi Quan's training and teaching abilities were recognized by the Academy.
Teacher Qin lightly coughed, then explained, "These equipment were all researched and created by Shi Quan."
Upon hearing this, Yu Xiaogang's face immediately turned green then purple. For a moment, he didn't know what to say. He never expected that the equipment before him was actually created by Shi Quan.
There was also a hint of shock in Tang San's eyes. It was important to know that even the training ground in his previous life's Tang Sect, designed and summarized by generations of ancestors specifically for Tang Sect Disciples, was not as exquisite as this one.
Now he was being told that such exquisite training equipment was conceived by Shi Quan alone?
Zhu Zhuqing's eyes also gleamed continuously. No wonder Zhuang Zhou told her to Cultivate with Shi Quan.
Flender saw this and spoke, "Mubai, you go try it."
"No problem." Dai Mubai came to a bench press machine, looked at Teacher Qin, "Senior, how do I use this?"
"You lie down first…" Teacher Qin smiled, directing Dai Mubai to lie down, then instructed Dai Mubai on the movements.
"Shoulders parallel, back and buttocks flat against the bench, hands gripping the barbell firmly…"
The movements were simple. Under Teacher Qin's guidance, Dai Mubai quickly understood the essentials and began to try it.
As soon as he took the barbell off the bench press machine, Dai Mubai immediately felt the heavy weight of the barbell.
Teacher Qin stood beside Dai Mubai and said, "Lift the barbell vertically until both arms are fully extended, hold for one second, then slowly lower it."
After only two or three repetitions, Dai Mubai's face began to turn red.
"Alright, Mubai." With Teacher Qin's help, Dai Mubai placed the barbell back on the bench press machine.
"This barbell is so heavy," Dai Mubai said.
Teacher Qin immediately explained, "This weight is the training weight for Tianheng. Generally speaking, the training with these equipment is based on difficulty, with a certain number of repetitions per set, multiple sets per session, and short breaks between sets. This maximizes the training effect."
Yu Xiaogang asked indifferently, "Did you customize this training plan?"
Teacher Qin shook his head and said, "No, it was formulated by Shi Quan."
Yu Xiaogang once again puffed out his chest and began to speak, "This kind of group training is not only slow in efficiency, but also not obvious in improving the body. It's better to do extreme training, high-intensity training all at once. This can not only maximize the potential of the body, but also shorten the training time. As for the body's wear and tear, it can be completely supplemented with medicinal baths and medicinal meals."
"You talk big, but you don't have the guts to not use Shi Quan's equipment." Dugu Yan's voice came again.
Teacher Qin immediately scolded, "Dugu Yan, although these equipment were created by Shi Quan, they belong to the Academy."
"Teacher Qin, do you think my training method has a problem?" Shi Quan didn't even bother to look at Yu Xiaogang and instead looked at Teacher Qin.
Teacher Qin thought for a moment and said, "Grandmaster Yu's method also has some merit and is not without its advantages."
"I understand." Shi Quan's expression showed no surprise; he closed his eyes and continued his warm-up training.
Teacher Qin frowned, looked at Shi Quan, and then continued to meticulously explain the usage of each piece of equipment to the Shrek Academy group. A quarter of an hour later, Teacher Qin finished his explanation. Shi Quan and the others had already finished warming up and left the training ground to begin their individual training.
Seeing that only his own people were left, Yu Xiaogang asked without reservation, "Teacher Qin, please provide me with a statistical report of the Heaven Dou Battle Team's Cultivation plan. This way, I can not only arrange a Cultivation plan more quickly but also help you optimize your Cultivation plan."
"No problem." Teacher Qin nodded in agreement.
"Xiao San, you all go try out the various equipment and get used to them first."
"No problem…"
On the other side.
"Shi Quan, you just let that Trash talk about you like that?" Dugu Yan said without any reservation in front of Yu Tianheng.
Hearing Dugu Yan speak of Yu Xiaogang in such a way, Yu Tianheng's fists couldn't help but clench slightly. "Yan Yan, he is my uncle. Please be more respectful."
Dugu Yan's temper was never good. Once the boyfriend filter dissipated, due to Yu Xiaogang, Dugu Yan directly found Yu Tianheng a bit irritating and retorted, "A level twenty-nine self-righteous Trash, am I wrong?"
Yu Tianheng growled, "Uncle's Martial Spirit suffered a malignant mutation! It's not what he wanted."
"Tch." Dugu Yan spat disdainfully, "Does that change the fact that he's a Trash? Shi Quan has a good temper and can't be bothered with him. Sorry, my temper isn't good, and I'll say what I want to say. What about it?"
"A Trash, not even worthy of carrying Shi Quan's shoes, yet he acts superior in front of us? Acting like a human, but barking like a dog in front of Shi Quan?"
"Shut up!" Yu Tianheng roared in uncontrollable rage, lightning flashing in his eyes.
"Captain…" Yu Feng quickly spoke.
Yu Tianheng coldly glanced at Yu Feng, then realized that everyone else, except him, seemed to be on Shi Quan's side. He seemed to have become the target of all criticism, and the coldness in his eyes intensified. "So you all stand with Shi Quan? You think he's right?"
"Did Sister Yanzi say anything wrong?" Shi Quan asked indifferently.
"Good, good, good!"
Yu Tianheng's chest heaved rapidly, an inexpressible anger gathering in his chest.
Roar!
An angry Dragon roar sounded. Yu Tianheng coldly swept his gaze around the group. "I won't stay in this Heaven Dou Battle Team any longer."
With that, Yu Tianheng immediately turned and left, walking towards the training ground.
"Captain…" Yu Feng quickly called out.
Unfortunately, Yu Tianheng's figure did not pause in the slightest.
"Shi Quan, if the captain leaves, what will happen to the Heaven Dou Battle Team?" Yu Feng looked at Shi Quan and asked.
"It's fine. If he leaves, someone else will naturally join." Shi Quan's expression remained unchanged; he had long anticipated this. In the original work, Yu Tianheng had expressed his desire to practice under Yu Xiaogang.
This was also one of Shi Quan's reasons for intentionally keeping Shrek Academy at Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Even if he didn't intervene, in the original work, Yu Tianheng and Dugu Yan ultimately didn't end up together. Rather than letting Sister Yanzi be sad later because of other things, it was better for him to help them break up cleanly.
