Chapter 72: This Sword is Named, Seven Kills!

Meng Shenji's expression turned somewhat peculiar, thinking to himself, "Do the children of great families all enjoy playing these kinds of games?"

Sister? Maid?

"Gu Feng, it's not that I enjoy meddling in others' affairs, but I can't help but advise you. You're still young and should focus more on your cultivation."

"I'll take care of the enrollment procedures for you. As for the dormitory arrangements..."

At this point, Meng Shenji's face showed a troubled expression.

The academy had always allocated dormitories based on the students' levels, and a fixed set of rules had long been established.

For example, Celestial Micro level students shared a dormitory with one other person; Heaven Supreme level students could have a single room.

Heaven Battle level students were even more privileged, being directly assigned a three-bedroom villa.

However, the dormitories for Celestial Micro level students had already been fully allocated.

If Shana were to be assigned to a Heaven Supreme level dormitory, it would undoubtedly cause dissatisfaction and complaints among other students.

After pondering for a long time and weighing the pros and cons, Meng Shenji finally made a significant decision.

"How about this, Gu Feng, I'll assign you a villa meant for Heaven Battle level students, and you can move in with Shana. What do you think?"

Gu Feng had already gained the recognition of most people in the academy and had even caught the attention of the Crown Prince. Presumably, arranging a Heaven Battle level dormitory for him in advance wouldn't cause too much of a stir.

Gu Feng clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, Education Committee."

Shana, who was standing beside him, suddenly brightened up and asked excitedly, "Grandpa, are you saying I can live with the young master?"

Meng Shenji stroked his snow-white beard and laughed heartily, "Hahaha... Of course, the villa is spacious enough for both of you."

"That's great, young master!"

Shana was so excited that the fox ears on her head trembled slightly, making her look utterly adorable.

...

Meanwhile, in the core area of the Star Dou Great Forest.

The calm surface of the Lake of Life rippled as a colossal creature slowly emerged from the center of the lake.

In an instant, everyone present, including Chen Xin, was stunned by the sight before them.

What appeared before them was a monster with the head of a bull and the body of a python. Its size was immense, so much so that even the Titan Giant Ape would seem tiny in comparison.

The Sky Blue Bull Python stared intently at the unconscious woman in Chen Xin's hand with its blood-red vertical pupils, "Humans, considering the difficulty of your cultivation, leave at once! Otherwise, I will ensure you meet a gruesome end!"

Gu Rong's lips curled into a disdainful sneer as he fearlessly retorted, "Hmph, it's just a Hundred-Thousand Year Soul Beast. Even the Titan Giant Ape was no match for us. What difference does it make if you join the fray?"

Gu Rong wasn't one to be easily intimidated!

Who wasn't a renowned genius in the Soul Master World?

Now, not only had his Martial Soul's strength undergone a qualitative leap, but his Soul Power had also broken through to level 96, coupled with his elusive spatial attributes.

Not to mention the Sky Blue Bull Python, even if he were to face a level 98 super Titled Douluo, Gu Rong had the confidence to hold his own. If all else failed, he could always retreat.

"Human, you're courting death!"

The Sky Blue Bull Python roared in anger, but it dared not act rashly, as Aunt Rou was still in the hands of the enemy.

At this moment, it could only hope that Sister Xiao Wu would arrive quickly with Er Ming to rescue them.

Gu Rong, standing nearby, impatiently urged, "Old Swordman, stop wasting words with it. Let's finish it off quickly. Our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School might even gain a couple more inherited Soul Bones."

Chen Xin nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, "Alright."

Ning Fengzhi immediately stepped forward and said, "Sword Uncle, I'll enhance you."

Then, he began chanting, "Nine Treasures have names, the first is Strength! The second is Speed! The third is Soul!"

As the enhancements from the Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda took effect, the aura around Chen Xin grew even more sharp and formidable.

Chen Xin tightly gripped the Seven Kill Sword with both hands, the blade trembling slightly as he softly murmured, "My heart is the sword, the sword is my heart. Heart and sword as one. This sword is named Seven Kill!"

In an instant, a terrifying sword aura, capable of destroying heaven and earth, began to gather fiercely on the Seven Kill Sword.

Just as Chen Xin was about to unleash this fatal strike, Wang Yaozu grinned and laughed, "Old Wei, looks like you might get a chance to add a Hundred-Thousand Year Soul Ring today."

Chen Wei, unable to contain his joy, responded with a light hum, "You're no different."

"Hahaha, congratulations to us both!"

The two of them never imagined that in this lifetime, not only would they reach the level of a Titled Douluo, but they would also have the opportunity to obtain a Hundred-Thousand Year Soul Ring!

Truly, it was Gu Feng's blessing!

At that moment, a deafening roar, like rolling thunder, suddenly erupted from not far away.

Everyone turned to look and saw a massive, dark figure charging towards them from the distance.

"The Titan Giant Ape!" they exclaimed in unison, unable to hold back their shock.

What caught their attention the most was the small, rabbit-eared girl sitting on the broad and sturdy shoulder of the Titan Giant Ape.

With her delicate, doll-like appearance, she seemed to be around the same age as Ning Rongrong, her lively eyes filled with anxiety and anger.

Even more astonishing was the dense horde of Soul Beasts closely following behind the Titan Giant Ape. At a glance, there were at least several hundred of them, each with a cultivation level of over a thousand years, and even dozens with over ten thousand years of cultivation.

The dark mass of beasts, like a storm cloud descending, created a visually striking scene that made everyone present tense up, not daring to let their guard down for even a moment.

Gu Rong couldn't help but curse under his breath, "Today must be the unluckiest day of my life. Did we stumble into the lair of a Hundred-Thousand Year Soul Beast? How did so many of them appear all at once?"

Ning Fengzhi forced a bitter smile and said, "Alright, Uncle Gu, the priority now is to figure out how to escape."

He looked around, and the dense swarm of Soul Beasts had already formed the makings of a beast tide, their sheer numbers sending shivers down his spine.

Only now did they truly understand why the Titan Giant Ape held the title of the Forest King. Its terrifying ability to summon such a force was truly awe-inspiring.

Wang Yaozu, with a resolute expression, shouted, "Damn it, Sect Leader, you all retreat first! We'll stay behind to cover you! This Soul Hunting expedition was for us, after all. No matter what, the three of you must not come to harm. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School cannot afford to lose you!"

Chen Wei nodded heavily, his eyes burning with a determination to die, and said in a deep voice, "That's right, Old Bone. This is the first time I've called you that, and perhaps the last. Remember to say hello to Xiao Feng for me."

Gu Rong and Ning Fengzhi, upon hearing these words, looked at the two men's resolute and fearless gazes, and their hearts were deeply shaken.

At this critical moment, Chen Xin, who had remained silent until now, finally spoke in a soft yet unwavering voice:

"The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School has never been home to cowards who fear death! Before we came, I promised to bring you back safely, and I will fulfill that promise!"

"Because this sword is named Seven Kills!"
