Tang Zhan might be speaking apologetically, but he did not look like he was apologizing at all. Rather, he seemed rather proud. Ning Chenba and Yan Benkai were old friends of his, but neither were residents of this Bloodsin City. They had only arrived two days prior.

They had come so their children could head to the Dragon Phoenix Academy together. That way, the children could also help each other out. Tang Longfei's strength was above Ning Wenhuang's and Yan Shengqiu's. Thus, they naturally wished that Tang Longfei would be able to give their children some help.

Xiang Shaoyun's visit was a coincidence, and Tang Longfei had only mentioned that he would be traveling with them. It was natural that they would look down on Xiang Shaoyun's cultivation level of seventh-stage Skysoar Realm.

They were even worried that Xiang Shaoyun's partic.i.p.ation would affect the future of their children and cause them shame. Coupled with the bad reputation Xiang Shaoyun had back at the Ziling Sect, they started speaking to him with mockery.

But now, they had indescribable expressions on their faces. Their eyes were opened wide, and their mouths were agape with disbelief. A disciple the four academies had fought to recruit was right before them, yet they had a.s.sumed that he was merely a burden, a kid that had yet to grow up. But now, it was clear they were the ones who were ignorant.

”Wenhuang, go spend some time with your Big Brother Tang. You mentioned that it has been a while since the two of you last met, right?” said Ning Chenba to his daughter.

”Yes, Father,” said Ning Wenhuang. After excusing herself before Tang Zhan, she left.

After some hesitation, Yan Benkai said, ”Shenqiu, you go as well. You youngsters should stick together. You have more topics in common anyway.”

Yan Shengqiu also left without hesitation.

”Brother Tang, i-is that really Xiang Yangzhan's son?” Yan Benkai asked.

”Yes,” said Tang Zhan.

Ning Chenba said, ”A tiger father indeed begets a tiger son. Some rumors are not believable after all.”

”True. Looks like I'm really getting old. Brother Tang, don't mind my earlier insolence,” sighed Yan Benkai.

”There is no need to be so polite between us. I was planning to tell you of the two follower spots Shaoyun has. If any of the children happened to fail the test, we can get him to provide some help. But seems like I've messed it up,” said Tang Zhan with a helpless smile.

”Brother Tang, I'm to blame for that. With the years of friends.h.i.+p we have, you need to speak to that child on my behalf. If Shengqiu fails to get through the test, he has to help. I thank you in advance,” said Yan Benkai nervously.

Ning Chenba couldn't remain calm anymore. ”Yes, Brother Tang, you gotta help us. We will never forget this favor.”

The quotas to enter the Dragon Phoenix Academy were extremely valuable. From more than 100,000 young geniuses, less than 10 percent of them would end up recruited. Any youth managing to enter the Dragon Phoenix Academy was practically guaranteed to end up as a powerful individual capable of dominating vast swathes of land in the future.

Naturally, the two also wished that their respective child could be guaranteed a spot into the academy. Unfortunately for them, they had personally ruined the opportunity presented before them.
