Ning Fengzhi (Bonus Chapter)

"Your opponents are us."

Bewitching Charm blocked Feng Yun and the other man. Earlier, those two had relied on his inability to use soul skills to join forces with a third person and besiege him. Now that only two remained, their fighting strength had greatly diminished. Naturally, he would not let this opportunity slip away.

"What a pity!"

What Lin Hanye found regrettable was not that he had only taken out three people, but that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Pagoda's support effects had already worn off.

Even facing the combined assault of Tang Zhan and Tang Jin, though his speed was considerably slower than before, he still handled them with ease.

"Don't think of escaping."

Tang Zhan had naturally noticed that Lin Hanye was no longer as fast as before. He desperately swung the Clear Sky Hammer in his hand, attacking Lin Hanye from one side while Tang Jin attacked from the other.

Lin Hanye did not clash with them head-on. Soul Power clung to the soles of his feet as he used his nimble movements and agility to launch surprise attacks with Frost Sword Qi from time to time, leaving the two of them miserable.

A Moment Later, Lin Hanye seized an opening. The instant the two swung their hammers, he dodged their hammerheads and stepped on the tip of Tang Zhan's hammer. With a flash, he darted into their blind spot and fired two streams of Frost Sword Qi, each piercing through one of their shoulders.

With a thud, Tang Jin was the first to collapse to the ground.

"You!!!"

Tang Zhan clutched his chest with one hand and pointed at Lin Hanye in disbelief with the other. With an extremely unwilling cry, he too fell to the ground.

At the Same Time, Bewitching Charm, formed by the fusion of Xie Ming and Hu Mei, had also dealt with Tang Feng and Tang Yun.

The Clear Sky Team had been utterly wiped out.

The entire arena fell silent, and the surroundings were deathly still.

No one had expected this spirit battle to end in such a dramatic fashion.

At first, the Clear Sky Team had eliminated Huang Tianba, Dugu Xin, and Li Bingyan with an absolute advantage, while suppressing the Martial Soul Fusion Skill, Bewitching Charm, of Xie Ming and Hu Mei.

Then, they had been caught off guard by Ice Emperor, the only Soul Grandmaster present and the one who had seemed the most insignificant.

First, he instantly defeated Tang Lang, then unexpectedly eliminated Tang Shuang and Tang Xiong.

After that, he had used an inconceivable method to defeat Tang Zhan and Tang Jin, the two strongest members of the Clear Sky Team.

It could be said that Lin Hanye had practically turned the tide of battle all by himself.

As a Soul Grandmaster, he had taken out five of the Clear Sky Team's seven Battle Soul Elders. It was simply insane.

"You little brat, you dare injure disciples of my Clear Sky Sect? You're courting death!"

Everyone was snapped out of their thoughts in an instant by an enraged roar containing immense Soul Power.

A luxurious private room in the VIP Area suddenly exploded. With eight Soul Rings—two yellow, two purple, and four black—circling his body, Tang Lie descended furiously from the room, wielding a Flame Great Hammer. Like a Flame Killing God, he smashed toward Lin Hanye.

Tang Lie's sudden attack caught everyone present completely off guard.

"Do not act so recklessly."

At the critical moment, Huang Yueyao stepped in. As the supervisor of the Golden Great Spirit Arena and a member of the Radiant Sword Lion Family, she could not possibly allow Tang Lie to run wild.

The same eight Soul Rings—two yellow, two purple, and four black—unfurled around her. Huang Yueyao transformed into a dazzling golden lion and stood before Lin Hanye.

"Tang Lie, this is the Golden Great Spirit Arena, not your Clear Sky Sect. Do you wish to face the joint condemnation of the Eight Great Families of the Great Spirit Arena?"

Huang Yueyao, who had just been delighted by the Golden Team's comeback, now wore an incomparably gloomy expression as she shouted in anger.

"Hmph. That brat injured disciples of the Clear Sky Sect. He must be taught a lesson today."

Tang Lie knew he was in the wrong, and he also knew that his actions could easily make enemies for the Clear Sky Sect. However, that ice-using brat had beaten his eldest son and the other six disciples so badly that he simply could not swallow this indignation.

"In a spirit battle, injuries are unavoidable. My nephew Tianba was also injured by your son earlier. Surely there cannot be a rule that only disciples of your Clear Sky Sect may injure others, while no one else may injure disciples of your Clear Sky Sect?"

Huang Yueyao had long been displeased with the Clear Sky Sect. Relying on Tang Chen's reputation, they had acted with utter impunity. Today, they had even dared to attack a spirit fighter in her Great Spirit Arena. It was simply outrageous.

"You—"

For a moment, Tang Lie was left speechless by Huang Yueyao's words and could not back down gracefully.

"Hehe, Senior Tang Lie, Senior Huang Yueyao, this is all a misunderstanding. How about giving Fengzhi some face and letting the matter rest here?"

Just Then, a gentle and refined voice echoed through the main spirit arena. Immediately afterward, a gale swept through the arena, and an elderly man in blue robes appeared behind Huang Yueyao, accompanied by a man who looked to be in his early twenties and bore some resemblance to Ning Caichen.

"Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo!" Seeing who had arrived, Tang Lie's brow furrowed. After pondering for a moment, he glared at Lin Hanye before speaking. "Fine. Today, I will give Young Sect Master Ning and Sword Douluo this much face."

After saying that, he looked at Lin Hanye again. "Brat, the next time you encounter disciples of my Clear Sky Sect, remember to take a detour. Otherwise, you will not be so lucky."

From Beginning to End, Lin Hanye did not say a word. He merely watched Tang Lie quietly, thinking to himself, Tang Lie, was it? One day, This Lin will make you give an account for what happened today.

A Moment Later, the injured disciples of the Clear Sky Sect and members of the Golden Team were taken away by the Great Spirit Arena's physicians for treatment.

"Young Sect Master Ning, Your Excellency Sword Douluo, thank you for this matter."

Huang Yueyao led Lin Hanye, Ning Fengzhi, Sword Douluo, and the others into a private room, then formally expressed her gratitude to Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo.

"No Problem. The Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and your Great Spirit Arena have always been partners. Naturally, we share both honor and disgrace."

Ning Fengzhi smiled warmly, then turned his gaze toward Lin Hanye. "This little brother, however, has truly exceeded Fengzhi's expectations. You actually turned the tide by yourself and defeated five Battle Soul Masters from the Clear Sky Sect whose Soul Power far surpassed your own. You should know that among the Clear Sky Sect's Second Generation Disciples, Tang Zhan and the others possessed talent second only to the Clear Sky Twin Stars."

"Young Sect Master Ning flatters me. I was merely fortunate."

Lin Hanye deliberately put on a flattered expression.

"There is no need to call me Young Sect Master. I am not much older than you. If you do not mind, you may call me Brother Ning from now on."

Ning Fengzhi smiled.

"Brother Ning."

Suppressing his disgust, Lin Hanye addressed him, though his stomach churned.

The group chatted for a while longer. Ning Fengzhi subtly expressed his desire to recruit him, but Lin Hanye did not refuse outright. He merely said that if he ever wished to join a sect, he would give the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect first consideration.

A Moment Later, Ning Fengzhi and Sword Douluo left.

Huang Yueyao reminded him, "Ning Fengzhi may appear gentle on the surface, but his heart is full of schemes. Good thing you had the foresight to ask me for Thousand Faces. Otherwise, with both Ning Fengzhi and that Old Fellow Tang Lie eyeing you, you'd be in real trouble."
