The King of Scrolls couldn't stand this kind of waste of time and life! After seven days, Zhou Han finally couldn't take it anymore.
He stopped Tianning, who was about to go out to feed the cranes: "Are you very free?"
The group stayed in Zhou Han's courtyard, and Zhou Han could see Tian Ning every time he came out of the side room.
He couldn't understand how someone could be so lazy at such a young age.
"I'm not free, I have things to do." A nest of eggs in the crane garden is about to hatch today, and Tianning wants to go and see the baby cranes while he's at it.
The newly hatched chicks are so cute, especially after the elders of the Beast Taming Sect dry their feathers; they're all fluffy little darlings.
Zhou Han looked at her with exasperation: "Come with me!"
Tianning: "?"
Tianning didn't quite understand what Zhou Han was thinking, but she still obediently followed.
After spending these past few days together, I've gotten to know Zhou Han quite well. He has the authority of the chief disciple, and may seem a bit aloof, but he always does his best in everything, big or small, within the sect. He treats everyone the same way—fellow disciples, disciples from other sects like Tianning—with equal disdain.
Zhou Han brought Tian Ning to the Beast Taming Sect's free arena.
This place is similar to the martial arts arena of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect. Disciples of the sect hold their private matches here. However, unlike the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, the Beast Taming Sect's arena matches adopt a defense system. As long as a disciple can win ten consecutive matches in a day and successfully defend his title, he can choose a rare spiritual fruit that his contracted spirit beast likes to eat as a reward.
This effectively encouraged everyone's enthusiasm, since rare spirit fruits would cost a lot of spirit stones to buy outside.
When the two arrived, a number of disciples had gathered around the arena. This was a popular event for the Beast Taming Sect, and there was never a shortage of people.
Tianning thought Zhou Han had brought her to see a play because she was worried she would be bored, and was just about to take out a stool.
Zhou Han pointed at the arena and said, "You, go up there!"
Tianning: "..."
Zhou Han: "I've already spoken to the elders. If you join the new disciples' group, you'll still receive the reward as usual."
This is not about rewards at all.
If it were someone from the Long family, Tian Ning could use the talismans without any worries, but this is a friendly sect, so he can't be too ruthless.
Tianning looked up at the sky: "I suddenly remembered that I haven't taken the talismans I finished drawing yesterday out to dry yet..."
"As a sword cultivator, what are you doing with talismans all day long?" Zhou Han said to the disciples near the arena, unable to bear it any longer. "You all take turns having a friendly chat with this junior sister from the Ten Thousand Swords Sect."
"It's Senior Brother Zhou! You actually took the time to come here!"
Zhou Han was very famous in the Beast Taming Sect. As the master of the Fire Phoenix, he was a role model for his junior brothers and sisters, and his appearance almost immediately caused a stir.
Especially the boy who had just defeated his opponent on the stage, his eyes lit up the moment he saw Zhou Han, and he eagerly approached her like a dog: "Senior Brother Zhou! Senior Brother Zhou! I want to fight her!"
Zhou Han didn't know how good Tian Ning's swordsmanship was, so he instructed, "Ye Nian, this is just a friendly spar, stop when you've made your point. Don't hurt this junior sister Tian Ning."
Ye Nian immediately nodded.
"Junior Sister Tianning, please guide me!"
Unable to refuse, Tianning had no choice but to go for it, deciding to make it quick and decisive.
Seeing her step onto the arena, Zhou Han didn't rush to leave. He wanted to see just how skilled the swordsman was in the person chosen by the Phoenix Lord. Presumably, since Tian Ning was able to join the Myriad Swords Sect, she must have some extraordinary abilities.
However, Tian Ning did not draw his sword as everyone expected.
After Ye Nian summoned his spirit beast, the Roaring Eagle, Tian Ning took out a dozen speed talismans, stuck them on her body, and quickly arrived behind Ye Nian. With a forceful push, she caused him to fall off the arena.
Tianning: "I won!"
