Essence of Water

"Just passing by. I came in to take a look," Ning Fengzhi replied with a smile.

"You came without even telling me. I could have welcomed you properly," Xiao Xiao said.

"Xiao Xiao, what are you doing?" Ning Fengzhi asked.

"This child broke one of my son's ribs. I'm teaching him a lesson on behalf of his parents," Xiao Xiao answered.

"Xiao Xiao, this is my academy. You, a grown man, came into my academy to beat my students. Have you no shame?" the Dean of Notting Academy rebuked.

"Dean Chen, perhaps you don't know that these Work-Study Students have already been expelled. They are no longer students of your academy," Xiao Xiao explained.

"How did I not know about this?" The Dean of Notting Academy frowned.

"He expelled us." Wang Sheng pointed at the Vice Dean in the crowd.

"You?"

Following Wang Sheng's finger, the Dean of Notting Academy fixed his gaze on the academy's Vice Dean and coldly rebuked him, "Qian Ming, you expelled students without my approval. Do you still have any respect for me as the Dean? Not to mention that there is even a three-ring Soul Elder among them."

"Dean, I... I only just learned that he was a Soul Elder!" The Vice Dean looked miserably and aggrievedly at the Dean of Notting Academy.

"Hey, weren't you going to teach me a lesson? Keep going!" Ye Feng cut in.

"Hmph, brat. Out of respect for Sect Leader Ning and the Dean, I'll spare you this time." Xiao Xiao's gaze was razor-sharp. The cold glint in his eyes made it clear that he would not let Ye Feng off so easily.

With the Dean of Notting Academy and the Sect Leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect present, Xiao Xiao, as an adult, could not continue bullying the weak with his strength. Especially Ning Fengzhi—he was one of Xiao Xiao's most important business partners. Reason told Xiao Xiao that he could not leave Ning Fengzhi with a bad impression.

Xiao Xiao wanted to end things for the moment, but Ye Feng was unwilling to let it go.

Ye Feng's gaze sharpened. "You used a Soul Skill on me once just now. It is impolite not to return the favor. This time, it's my turn."

First Soul Skill: Beast Blood Boiling

Ye Feng's First Soul Ring lit up with a yellow glow, and a red streak of light appeared across his body. His vitality surged even more fiercely.

Second Soul Skill: Ice Seal

Immediately after, the Second Soul Ring of Ye Feng's Nine Heart Profound Tang martial soul glowed yellow. In almost an instant, Xiao Xuan's entire body was sealed within a thirty-centimeter-thick layer of profound ice.

"Instant casting!" the Dean of Notting Academy blurted out.

The moment Ye Feng used his First Soul Skill, he immediately unleashed his Second Soul Skill. His talent was so formidable that he had actually reached the level of instant-casting Soul Skills.

Everything happened in the blink of an eye. By the time Xiao Xiao reacted, Ye Feng's fist had already landed on the profound ice encasing Xiao Xuan.

Bang!

With one punch, Ye Feng sent Xiao Xuan flying. He flew more than ten meters away.

"Is he really a Control System Soul Master?"

One of Notting Academy's teachers could not help crying out.

That punch from Ye Feng was comparable to one delivered by a Soul Elder above level thirty.

"He's only a child."

Another teacher from Notting Academy stared at Ye Feng in shock. It was truly hard to imagine that the punch had come from a child who was only six years old.

"Soul Power Level thirty-four!" Ning Fengzhi exclaimed.

After absorbing three Soul Rings in succession, Ye Feng's Soul Power Level had already reached level thirty-four. When he used Beast Blood Boiling, his speed and strength increased by thirty-four percent. That was why his punch could rival the power of a strength-type Soul Master above level thirty.

"Vice Dean, do you know what you've done?" the Dean of Notting Academy furiously berated the Vice Dean.

Level thirty-four!

At merely six years old, his Soul Power Level was already thirty-four. If Ye Feng continued to grow, he would certainly become a Titled Douluo in the future. At that time, Notting Academy's name would be recorded in Ye Feng's illustrious academic history.

Yet all of that beautiful future had been ruined by the academy's Vice Dean.

"I already expelled them. They were indeed the ones who caused trouble first. According to academy rules, they should be expelled," the Vice Dean said arrogantly.

"Hmph, I will investigate this matter to the end today." Though the Dean of Notting Academy said so, his eyes deliberately glanced at Ning Fengzhi.

"If there is any responsibility, I will bear it all," the Vice Dean of Notting Academy retorted.

"I'm afraid you can't bear it," the Dean of Notting Academy snapped.

"Come again!"

On the other side, Ye Feng gradually approached Xiao Xiao.

"What are you trying to do?" Xiao Xiao's tone was grave. He wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and looked at Ye Feng warily. As a level thirty-six Soul Ancestor, he had actually been unable to withstand a single punch from Ye Feng.

"Didn't you say you were going to break two of my ribs? If I had been weaker today, you would definitely have broken two of my ribs. Now that you're no match for me... I'll break four of yours instead. I'll teach you a lesson on behalf of your parents. Remember, if you act this arrogantly out in the world, sooner or later you'll have to pay for it." As Ye Feng spoke, he continued walking toward Xiao Xiao.

Ugh!

Xiao Xiao's heart jolted.

As an adult, Xiao Xiao was being scolded by a six-year-old child in the tone of an adult. To him, it was no different from being slapped across the face.

Xiao Xiao clenched his fists, and the Third Soul Ring around him lit up yellow.

Third Soul Skill: Wolf Howl

Xiao Xiao opened his mouth, and waves of sound rippled out toward Ye Feng. They not only stopped Ye Feng from advancing, but their impact also battered him, forcing him to retreat continuously.

Second Soul Skill: Ice Seal

An icy wave of light spread outward, and Xiao Xiao was once again sealed in profound ice. When Ye Feng dashed before him, the profound ice surrounding Xiao Xiao exploded outward. Xiao Xiao stomped hard and retreated away from Ye Feng's fist.

"Trying to run? It won't be that easy." A smug curve lifted Ye Feng's lips.

Third Soul Skill: Essence of Water

As Ye Feng's Third Soul Ring lit up with purple light, a five-meter-radius surface of water appeared beneath Xiao Xiao's feet. This was no ordinary water. Standing upon it, Xiao Xiao's movement speed was reduced by fifty percent. Ye Feng, the caster, was completely unaffected.

"This is bad. I can't dodge it!" Xiao Xiao cried out in alarm.

Xiao Xiao could only watch Ye Feng close in, until Ye Feng's fist smashed into his chest.

Bang!

Besides the sound of the fist striking his chest, there were also faint sounds of four or five bones breaking.

Silence!

The entire scene was utterly silent!

It had to be said that this was a magnificent battle.

A six-year-old child had defeated a middle-aged man in his thirties.

Xiao Xiao climbed up from the ground, wiped the blood from his mouth, and clutched his aching chest. He glared furiously at Ye Feng and said, "Brat, I'll remember what happened today."

"I'll be waiting anytime." Ye Feng smiled fearlessly.

"Sect Leader Ning, I've made a fool of myself before you." Xiao Xiao awkwardly walked over to Ning Fengzhi and greeted the Sect Leader of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect.

At the same time, Ye Feng also walked over to Ning Fengzhi.

"Uncle Ning, why are you here?" Ye Feng asked with a smile.

"Uncle Ning?" Xiao Xiao froze, as if turned to stone on the spot. Ye Feng had actually called his important business partner Uncle Ning!

"Just passing by. People from the shops in the city said they saw you and Uncle Sword returning to the city, so I came in to see you." Ning Fengzhi smiled as he rubbed Ye Feng's head and answered him.

"Uncle Sword?"

At the side, Grandmaster Yu Xiaogang caught Ning Fengzhi's wording. Stunned, he murmured, "Could Ye Feng's teacher be Sword Saint Chen Xin?"

Though Yu Xiaogang's voice was low, Tang San still heard every word clearly.

Tang San asked curiously, "Teacher, is Ye Feng's teacher even more powerful than you?"

Yu Xiaogang turned to look at Tang San, not knowing how to answer. Sword Saint Chen Xin was not merely stronger than Yu Xiaogang—Yu Xiaogang was utterly incomparable to him!
