Book 7, Stillwater City, Chapter 30, The Battle at the Dao Debate Palace

Ji Ning’s group of three landed at the gates to the Dao Debate Palace As they looked inwards, they saw that although it was night, the insides of the Dao Debate Palace were brightly lit, and the sound of cal out from within

“Senior apprentice-sister Ninelotus, I’ll accept these hundred black-white pellets and five kilograms of liquefied elemental essence” The speaker was a white-robed man, who had a blood-drop pattern atop his white robes It was Bloodrinker Bladask Bladask had a hint of delight on his face; clearly, he was quite happy at having won a victory in the Dao Debate

In front of hi-haired maiden dressed in water-blue robes She arose and flew over, landing nearby and shaking her head “Three years ago, I was able to beat you by a hair, junior apprentice-brother Bladask I didn’t expect that this time, I’d be defeated by you”

“Your junior apprentice-brother had to work very hard to just barely eke out a victory” Bladask, normally quite prideful, was currently quite humble

“Senior apprentice-sister Ninelotus, when sparring, it’s all about that hint of a chance at victory You and junior apprentice-brother Bladask are comparable; only, junior apprentice-brother Bladask’s attacks are just a hair sharper than yours”

“Senior apprentice-sister Ninelotus…” The various st the entered the Dao Debate Hall, and they all turned to look towards them

“Ninelotus?” Ning’s gaze instantly turned towards that woman who had been referred to everyone as ‘Ninelotus’ She was dressed in casual, water-blue robes, and had long, black hair Although her face could be considered beautiful, she was slightly less attractive than even Meng Xin Only, this senior apprentice-sister Ninelotus had a certain graceful aura about her She was like a fairy lotus, causing the fellow male disciples around her to unconsciously be drawn to her

“Given her aura and deround,” Ning mused to himself

“Senior apprentice-sister Ninelotus” Upon seeing Ninelotus, Bu Ying’s voice went slightly higher A smile on his face, he hurriedly said, “These two are the new disciples that just joined our Black-White College This is Mu Northson, and this is Ji Ning”

Ninelotus turned her gaze towards the the day, junior apprentice-brother Mu Northson was defeated thile sparring here at the Dao Debate Palace, and was so angry that he left”

Northson was rather bashful to begin with A hint of aardness immediately appeared on his face “That’s only because he just entered the school, and has never before suffered a setback like that,” Ning spoke out

Ninelotus looked towards Ning “So you are Ji Ning, who Patriarch Diancai took on as his senior apprentice” Ning nodded “I am”

The nearby Pu Yinig hurriedly said, “Junior apprentice-brother Darknorth, you are the disciple of Immortal Diancai Senior apprentice-sister Ninelotus, however, is the disciple of Immortal Fivecraze”

“The disciple of I was surprised “I just arrived back at the College tonight, and so I wasn’t able to attend the grand ceremony earlier,” Ninelotus said softly “Now that you’ve arrived, junior apprentice-brother, are you willing to begin a Dao Debate?”

Laughing, Ning nodded “I would very ainst hed “Then you have to be careful I just lost a round myself, just now”

“Junior apprentice-brother Ji Ning!” A cold voice rang out Ning turned to look The speaker was the white-robed Bloodrinker Bladask Bladask’s purpose for coer in his heart He hadn’t expected to encounter Ninelotus, whoone all out to defeat Ninelotus, in the hopes that this senior apprentice-sister would reined that after Ning arrived, he would iet into such an involved conversation with senior apprentice-sister Ninelotus

“Senior apprentice-brother Bladask,” Ning laughed Bladask responded in a cold voice, “Do you re nodded “I do That time, I wished to tell you my name, but you, senior apprentice-brother Bladask, refused to let ain”

The look on Bladask’s face changed as he heard this Ning laughed and continued, “I didn’t even tell you my name, but it appears you already know it, senior apprentice-brother Might I ask why you are calling for me?”

Bladask’s gaze was filled with a cold light “Dare you go onto the dais and debate the Dao with iant Dao Debate Palace “Go onto the dais and debate the Dao?” The giant palace was quite si room from his past life There were quite a few seats nearby, and in the center, there was an enormous battle arena At the same time, at each side of the arena, there was a tall stone pillar The Dao debaters would seat thee in a battle!

Ninelotus, standing to the side, said, “Junior apprentice-brother Ji Ning, you must be careful The person I just lost to was junior apprentice-brother Bladask” Bladask, hearing this, felt all the ly sharp “Dare you, or dare you not?”

“I’ve come here precisely to spar withshook his head and laughed “It’s just a hundred black-white pellets and five kilograms of liquefied elemental essence”

“Haha, a hundred black-white pellets and five kilograer possible” Bladask laughed coldly “Black-white pellets are gifted to us by the College and are extrerams of liquefied elemental essence Do you dare accept?”

Ning frowned Bladask continued in his cold voice, “Oh, right As a new disciple, you only have fifty kilograine that you probably wouldn’t be able to produce so much, junior apprentice-brother” As he spoke, he waved his hand and produced an insignia “This is an elemental mark from the Heavenly Treasures Mountain It represents a thousand taels of liquefied elerams If you take it to the Heavenly Treasures Mountain, you can trade it for fifty kilograms!”

“Dare you accept

The atmosphere instantly turned stiff The other disciples iht between Bladask and Ning Previously, when they had battled Northson, they had only enerate enst their fellow disciples For Bladask to increase the wager was a clear sign that he wanted to

If a new disciple were forced to take out fifty kilograms of liquefied ele to train with?

But of course, they had no idea…that although Bladask originally did want to fight against Ning, he hadn’t planned on being so nasty Only, he had noticed how engaged Ninelotus had been in her conversation with Ning Ninelotus norless phrases to hi, she voluntarily spoke out to him This made Bladask feel quite mistreated

“How a? Why is it that senior apprentice-sister Ninelotus seems to treat him differently, from the very moment they e, power, or clan, this Ji Ning is inferior to rew still colder
