System, Sacrifice Meng Yiran!

When she had only been level twenty-eight, she had defeated a Soul Elder over level thirty despite the gap in levels.

At the time, her opponent had unleashed all three Soul Skills without holding back at all.

Yet he had still lost to her.

This was also the most boast-worthy of Meng Yiran's many achievements.

And now this brat actually said he wanted to spar with her without using Soul Skills? It was utterly ridiculous! She truly did not know whether the person who had just spoken was really arrogant to such an extent.

Or simply too stupid, so recklessly ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth.

In contrast, Huo Feng's expression was calm and composed.

There was not the slightest ripple in his eyes as he quietly looked at Meng Yiran.

It was as though he had merely said something utterly ordinary.

This opportunity would vanish in an instant. If Huo Feng wanted to sacrifice Meng Yiran, he had to seize it now.

Given her proud personality, there was a high chance she would agree outright.

Just over level thirty? Serpent Granny Chao Tianxiang's heart suddenly tightened. Though she appeared calm on the surface, she was already profoundly shocked inside.

Just what kind of children had Zhao Wuji found? Why was each one more outstanding than the last? This one looked even younger, perhaps even two years younger than her granddaughter Meng Yiran.

Elsewhere, he would probably have only just graduated from a junior Soul Master Academy.

Yet he stood here now, claiming to possess strength just over level thirty.

This was truly...

"Not using Soul Skills?"

Zhao Wuji, standing to the side, was also somewhat shocked by Huo Feng's words.

In his view, this kid was being far too overconfident.

The opponent he had chosen was no ordinary level-thirty Soul Master.

She was the granddaughter of the Worldly Dragon Serpent.

With such a background, the cultivation resources she received on a daily basis must have been quite good.

Her strength certainly would not be weak.

Yet he still stepped forward, his expression filled with praise for Huo Feng. He turned his gaze toward Chao Tianxiang and slowly said,

"Senior, what do you think? This disciple of mine is a Battle Soul Master, so he meets the requirements for a battle."

"However, my disciple's level is somewhat higher than your granddaughter's. As he said himself, he will fight in Oscar's place."

"But for the sake of fairness, my disciple will not use any of the three Soul Skills he possesses."

"If he loses, this thousand-year Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent will be yours, Senior. Otherwise, I hope you will understand."

"May I know what you think, Senior?"

Oscar, standing nearby, was so moved that he nearly cried.

He quietly gave Huo Feng a thumbs-up, his face full of gratitude.

Serpent Granny Chao Tianxiang nodded. If her granddaughter could not defeat a kid who had only just passed level thirty and was not using Soul Skills,

then she would have nothing more to say.

Just as she wanted to add something, Meng Yiran beside her suddenly spoke.

"I won't take advantage of you. Since I don't have a Third Soul Skill, you only need to refrain from using your Third Soul Skill."

Her voice was cold and clear.

Although her opponent was a Soul Elder in his thirties, she still seemed not to take him seriously.

The corners of Huo Feng's mouth rose slightly, revealing an exceptionally kind smile.

You said it yourself. In that case, don't blame me for being ruthless. He faced Meng Yiran, smiled, and nodded before softly saying,

"Then as you wish."

"You—"

Serpent Granny Chao Tianxiang, standing nearby, looked deeply anxious.

How could her granddaughter be so careless? Did she truly take that boy opposite her for an ordinary Soul Master? He had reached the realm of Soul Elder at such a young age.

He could absolutely be called a genius! But Meng Yiran had already nodded in agreement and stepped forward two paces, assuming a fighting stance.

Now, Chao Tianxiang could say nothing more.

She could only choose to trust her granddaughter Meng Yiran.

At that moment, Huo Feng also stepped forward two paces.

The others around them retreated one after another, leaving enough space for the two to fight.

At closer range, Huo Feng discovered that although Meng Yiran's personality was not particularly likable, she was quite pretty.

After all, she was already sixteen, and her body had developed very well. Compared with her, the three girls from the academy appeared somewhat more immature.

Meng Yiran had long lashes framing her large brown eyes. She was nearly the same height as Huo Feng, with an extremely well-proportioned figure.

Her full, rounded chest rose above a slender waist that swayed gently like a snake's. Though her face held a trace of annoyance and anger, it did nothing to diminish her charm.

A breeze swept past, rustling the leaves in the forest as sunlight spilled through the uneven, swaying shadows of the trees.

Huo Feng raised his right hand and elegantly said, "Please."

The fury in Meng Yiran's heart had already been blazing for some time. Seeing the rare Soul Ring that had nearly been hers run into such trouble, how could she possibly feel good about it?

At that moment, she could not wait to defeat Huo Feng and claim the thousand-year Phoenix-tail Crested Serpent to absorb its Soul Ring and advance.

In truth, her grandfather, Dragon Duke Meng Shu, was also in the Star Dou Great Forest. However, he had separated from Serpent Granny and Meng Yiran earlier while tracking another Soul Beast.

This made him difficult to find in the short term. Otherwise, if Dragon Duke had truly been nearby, how could Serpent Granny Chao Tianxiang have been so accommodating?

With a flash, Meng Yiran swiftly arrived before Huo Feng. Her two-meter-long Serpent Cane came crashing down toward his head.

Meng Yiran looked like nothing more than a slender young girl, but once she began fighting, she was nothing like one.

Not only was her aura extremely fierce, but her Soul Power was also filled with an overbearing presence.

As the Serpent Cane descended, Huo Feng's feet slid, and he flashed backward a step before rapidly retreating.

At the same time, his First Soul Ring lit up.

"First Soul Skill, Sword Cleaving Strike!"

With a sweep of his sword, sword energy covered in arcs of lightning instantly shot toward Meng Yiran, whose attack had missed.

At such close range, the terrifying sword energy made her skin tingle with numbness.

Yet she had no intention of dodging. Instead, she swung her Serpent Cane and met it head-on.

"Sizzle—!"

The instant they made contact, the terrifying electric arcs flowed like fish in water, rushing through the Serpent Cane in her hand and into every part of her body.

Meng Yiran let out a muffled grunt. Her entire body was numb from the electricity.

Even her legs had become somewhat unsteady.

I was careless. That was her only thought at that moment.

Seizing the opportunity, Huo Feng leaped into the air and arrived several feet in front of Meng Yiran in an instant.

He casually swung his sword, startling her. She hurriedly tried to rise and dodge.

However, the paralysis effect of the Thunderclap Sword's Chain Lightning still remained, and Meng Yiran nearly fell.

At that moment, Huo Feng casually raised his hand and struck Meng Yiran in the chest with his palm.

"Bang—!"

A dull thud rang out, and in the next instant, she was sent crashing to the ground.

At the same time, Huo Feng called out to the system in his mind and calmly said,

"System, sacrifice Meng Yiran!"
