Entering the Dream

Salas had been secretly observing the Grandmaster.

So when the Grandmaster made a move, Salas looked over.

Then, he froze completely.

Pope's Token?

How is that possible!

"Bishop Salas," the Grandmaster said calmly.

He gently placed the Pope's Token on the table, looked up at Salas, and said:

"I think the Spirit Hall, as the organizer of this Advanced Spirit Master Tournament, should act more fairly. What do you think?"

Salas's heart sank, and beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. "The Elder is right."

He's filled with regret now, regretting that he had to come and test the waters.

Now look what's happened! He asked for a hammer and got one – a Pope's Token. If Grandmaster, during the Finals at the Spirit Hall, casually chats with the Pope about what happened today, what good will that do him?

Thinking about this, Salas couldn't help but feel some resentment towards Ci Xie.

If you had told him earlier that he had the Pope's Token, he wouldn't have caused such a commotion. Why would he have pulled this stunt?

Their vague statements at the time clearly indicated a deliberate attempt to conceal the matter, hoping to see Salas make a fool of himself.

However, he selectively ignored one point: Ci Xie had already warned him before, but he himself refused to believe it and insisted on coming to test the waters, which led to the current situation.

It can only be said that some people are like that, habitually blaming others for their own mistakes.

The Grandmaster secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Salas had given in.

He did not retract the Pope's Token, but instead placed it in front of him and said:

"My request for the Pope's Token was not intended to interfere with Salas, but simply to ensure that our Academy receives fair treatment. Every student in our team has been carefully nurtured by us, so I do not wish for their injuries to worsen due to this inquiry, thereby affecting their future. If Lord Salas does indeed have concerns, we can discuss it again after they have recovered somewhat, what do you say?"

"Elder, you flatter me. I was too hasty before. Now that I think about it carefully, Canghui Academy's fate is indeed their own fault. So, there's no need to continue this investigation," Salas said, standing up.

How could he dare to bring up any investigation or inquiry? He had come here to confirm the Grandmaster's situation, and now that he had achieved his goal, he naturally wouldn't try to use it as an excuse to cause trouble.

As for the Canghui Academy? What does that have to do with him!

If Shi Nian were alive, he would still have some value, but Shi Nian is dead, Cang Hui is naturally of no use anymore.

This is the tragedy of the Black Gloves.

Since Salas was already considering leaving, Flender naturally couldn't just say goodbye and leave; instead, he tried to persuade Salas to stay.

"Your Excellency, please don't leave yet. Actually, one of our contestants has a minor injury. Why don't you have him assist with your questioning?"

"Hehe, that won't be necessary. Dean, you should let the students rest and recover properly, so as not to delay the upcoming matches." Salas forced a smile.

At the same time, he cursed inwardly, "Why didn't you say this sooner? Now that the Pope's Token has been revealed, what's the point of pretending now?"

Even if he did find out something, would he dare to revoke the Academy's qualification for the competition in front of the Pope's Token?

It was obvious that this was impossible, so he had no choice but to leave.

However, before leaving, Salas still had some concerns, so he looked at the Grandmaster with some hesitation.

The Grandmaster understood his meaning after a moment's thought and smiled:

"His Excellency the Bishop's handling of the matter was very reasonable; it seems this competition was indeed fair."

Salas felt much more relaxed and left the Academy with his men.

Ning Fengzhi and Chen Xin stayed behind. The reason he came with Chen Xin this time was twofold: first, to help Flender and the others resolve their troubles, and second, to check on Chen Feng's condition.

On the way to Chen Feng's Room, Ning Fengzhi said, seemingly casually:

"I never imagined that Grandmaster was actually Honorary Elder of Spirit Hall."

"Sect Master Ning is wise and should be able to understand the mystery behind it," the Grandmaster said calmly.

Ning Fengzhi raised an eyebrow upon hearing this, a certain guess forming in his mind, while Chen Xin glanced up but said nothing.

On the Rooftop, Tang Hao sat up, stretched, put on his cloak, went downstairs, and quietly left the Academy.

Upon arriving at Chen Feng's room, Ning Fengzhi saw his daughter and a Black-Haired Girl taking care of Chen Feng.

"Dad," Ning Rongrong greeted her elderly father, "Has the problem been resolved?"

"Don't worry, your teachers have already calmed things down," Ning Fengzhi said, then looked at the boy lying on the bed.

How is Xiao Feng doing?

"Ling'er said Xiao Feng's condition has stabilized, but he's still some distance from waking up, and we'll probably still need external help," Ning Rongrong said, pursing her lips.

"Hmm, it's good that things are stable." Ning Fengzhi hesitated for a moment, then asked:

"But is your classmate reliable?"

"Her family has a tradition in this area, so she should be reliable. Besides, we don't have any other options right now," Ning Rongrong said after thinking for a moment.

"That's true, Soul Master specializing in the spiritual realm are extremely rare," Ning Fengzhi sighed.

Chen Xin stepped forward and covered Chen Feng's forehead, then said after a moment:

"I can't sense anything too specific, but Xiao Feng's mind has definitely calmed down a lot."

Ning Fengzhi nodded, then asked his daughter, "Rongrong, how are you doing with your classmate?"

"I've just gotten the hang of it, but I still need some time to practice. Don't worry, Dad, once I've fully mastered the Spiritual Connection Technique, I'll wake Xiao Feng up," Ning Rongrong said.

"Yes, then Dad is looking forward to it." Ning Fengzhi suppressed his worries and said with a smile.

He couldn't show his worries, as that would put pressure on his daughter.

In fact, after seeing the fate of those people from the Canghui Academy, Ning Fengzhi had been worried that Chen Feng might end up like that, or that he might never wake up again.

Even knowing that his daughter had found a solution, Ning Fengzhi couldn't truly put his mind at ease until he saw Chen Feng return to normal.

Chen Xin also had similar anxieties. Chen Feng was not only his disciple but also his blood relative, so he was naturally extremely worried about the child's safety.

In fact, if it weren't for the concern that it would expose Chen Feng's trump card, Chen Xin would have already taken revenge.

The Spirit Hall is too powerful to easily act against, but surely Cang Hui can too?

Only because Chen Feng is safe and sound and there is hope that he will wake up, has Chen Xin refrained from making a rash move.

In the following period, Flender withdrew from two matches, in order to give the tournament organizers a way out.

After the two matches, Tang San and his team made a triumphant return, securing a Undefeated record for the Academy.

However, during this period, they also discovered a problem.

"Our draw seems to have returned to normal?" Oscar said somewhat uncertainly.

"It's definitely back to normal. It seems the Spirit Hall isn't targeting us anymore," Tang San nodded and said.

When Salas came before, Flender had prepared a contingency plan for Tang San to handle the questioning, but due to Ning Fengzhi's cooperation and Salas's fear of the Pope's Token, the plan was ultimately not used.

Therefore, Tang San was not entirely clear about the specific circumstances at the time.

But judging from the fact that their opponents are much more ordinary now, the matter from last time should have been resolved satisfactorily.

"Sigh, without the Spirit Hall's targeting, this competition doesn't feel very interesting. These opponents are just average; they're no match for us at all," Ma Hongjun said lazily.

"Don't jinx it, you bastard. The fact that the Spirit Hall isn't targeting us just means they won't continue to draw lots. It doesn't mean we won't be randomly matched with strong opponents. Winning without any unexpected complications is the best outcome," Dai Mubai said.

"Exactly! I don't want to reveal my Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring. If, because of your jinx, Fatty, we get matched with a powerful enemy and I have no choice but to reveal it, then I'll beat you up!" Xiao Wu waved her little fist at Ma Hongjun.

She replaced Chen Feng in the competition, but because the opponents were not strong enough, she had been slacking off for a while and hadn't even revealed her Martial Soul. Naturally, the outside world didn't know that she also had a Ten Thousand Year Soul Ring.

Even now, many people are speculating about what her Martial Soul is, which has even sparked a debate.

Faced with Xiao Wu's threat, Ma Hongjun was quite unconvinced. He waved his hand and said:

"Impossible! Absolutely impossible! It can't be that far-fetched. I'm telling you right now, if our next opponent is a strong one, I'm going to go to the school gate, dress up in women's clothes, and dance."

"It's hard to say whether this is a reward or a punishment," Oscar said with a smile.

Dai Mubai patted Ma Hongjun on the shoulder and said earnestly:

"Fatty, if you've discovered some unusual hobbies, you can tell us. You don't need to make up excuses like this."

"I didn't do it, I didn't do it," Ma Hongjun hurriedly waved his hands to explain, which drew laughter from everyone.

After laughing, Xiao Wu seemed to remember something. She first glanced at Gu Yue Ling, then asked Ning Rongrong:

"By the way, Rongrong, how's your studying going lately?"

"I feel like I've basically got it down, so I'm going to give it a try. Xiao Feng has been unconscious for so long, I'm afraid he'll have problems if we continue," Ning Rongrong said.

Everyone else fell silent. Tang San took a deep breath and said:

"Then let's give it a try. I'll go and Wuxiang prepare."

"Should we send Xiao Feng to the forest?" Dai Mubai asked.

"No need. Wuxiang only plays a supporting role; he can just send a clone over," Tang San said.

"Then let's go wait for Xiao Feng." Dai Mubai took two steps and then stopped, turning to look at Gu Yue Ling with a very serious expression.

"Let me double-check, is your plan feasible?"

"All you need to know is that I, like you, hope that Chen Feng will wake up," Gu Yue Ling said calmly.

Dai Mubai nodded, then turned and left.

He didn't ask Ning Rongrong if she was confident, because he believed that Ning Rongrong's desire to awaken Chen Feng was stronger than his own, and asking her would only increase her psychological pressure.

Soon, the group arrived at Chen Feng's room, where Wuxiang also appeared as White-Haired, Red-Eyed Boy.

After being transplanted to the Academy, Wuxiang fell into a period of slumber to recover from the damage caused by the transplant.

After waking up from his slumber, he was accepted into the Academy by Flender as a Transfer Student.

Yes, he is now a student at the Academy.

However, due to his language impairment, Wu Xiang Wuxiang to express himself well, so he simply became mute, rarely interacting with anyone at the Academy and simply being a quiet, handsome young man.

However, due to his outstanding appearance, he still attracted the attention of many girls and even received quite a few love letters.

These love letters were naturally impossible to reply to. Wu Lian could barely speak Wuxiang alone write. He didn't understand why there would be several more letters in his drawer every morning when he arrived at work.

He even went to ask Ma Hongjun, the first human he imitated in the Academy, about this.

Ma Hongjun's answer was that these letters are a way for humans to court, and if you don't want to deal with them, you can just throw them in the trash.

Wuxiang followed good advice, which resulted in many more heartbroken girls in the Academy.

Inside the room, Ning Rongrong and Wuxiang were both ready.

Wuxiang's job was relatively easy; he only needed to keep Ning Rongrong awake, so he simply stuck a tree branch to the back of Ning Rongrong head and that was it.

This tree branch will awaken Ning Rongrong when she is about to get lost in the Illusion, essentially tying a rope to someone entering the maze.

Since Chen Feng was already inside the maze, the rope couldn't be tied to him, so this method was ineffective against him.

When the branch touched the back of Ning Rongrong's head, she immediately felt a cool sensation in her mind. Without much hesitation, she immediately used the Soul Bone she had obtained from Shi Nian.

A shimmering, Jade-Like Object appeared at Ning Rongrong's left temple, resembling a precious hair ornament.

The Illusionary Wisdom Skull!

This Ten Thousand Year Soul Bone allows you to establish Independent Domain, enhance your teammates 'Mental Power by 20%, and also remove and reflect Mental Attack.

In terms of its effects, it has some benefits for the dormant Chen Feng.

However, Ning Rongrong has tried using the Soul Bone on Chen Feng multiple times over the past period, but has failed to awaken him, indicating that Chen Feng's condition is not so easy to resolve.

Therefore, she must now try to connect with Chen Feng's Spiritual Connection in order to awaken Chen Feng in a more direct way.

After using her Soul Bone, Ning Rongrong could clearly feel that her Mental Power had been enhanced.

She formed intricate hand Hand Seal, a method taught to her by Gu Yue Ling to aid in the use of Mental Power.

Ning Rongrong focused her Mental Power on the space between her Glabella, where a part of the Illusionary Wisdom Skull was attached, serving as a point of contact for connecting with Chen Feng's Spiritual Connection.

When her Mental Power had been concentrated to a certain degree, to the point that fine sweat began to appear on Ning Rongrong's forehead, she leaned towards Chen Feng Chen Feng gently pressed her forehead against his.

After a period of darkness and distortion, when Ning Rongrong opened her eyes again, she saw a completely unfamiliar world.

Where am I?
