An Unexpected Woman

Chen Feng, who was recovering his Soul Power, had no idea that a pair of close girlfriends had fallen out because of him.

But given Chen Feng's personality, even if he knew, he would not care.

Before long, the male students who had been knocked down in the Soul Battle Arena climbed back up and returned to their seats in the stands, watching Chen Feng with awe.

Chen Feng had also recovered most of his Soul Power. Looking at the male students who feared him, he said, "Is anyone still unconvinced? If you are, say it."

"Class Monitor, we're convinced. We're convinced."

"Class Monitor, you're too strong!"

"From now on, you're Big Brother of Class Nine."

Seeing all the male students muttering words of admiration with fear in their eyes, a faint smile appeared on Chen Feng's lips.

At that moment, Stone came to the stands and said to her students, "All right, quiet down. Since we're at the Soul Battle Arena, don't waste this opportunity. Next, aside from Chen Feng, you will conduct practical combat training against one another."

"Wu Feng, Nanmen Yun'er, you two are next."

As for Chen Feng, he watched the Freshman Class Nine students battle from the stands. Everyone who could study at Shrek Academy was a Genius, and their Martial Souls came in all sorts of strange varieties.

When Chen Feng had beaten up the Class Nine boys earlier, he had only heard of many of their Martial Souls before; it was his first time seeing them in person.

So Chen Feng watched attentively as well. His background was poor, and although he had plenty of experience, there were still many things he lacked.

Just as Chen Feng was watching with great interest, a tall girl with short golden hair sat down beside him.

"Class Monitor, do you mind if I sit beside you?" Ning Tian wore a gentle smile on her exquisite face. Her voice was soft and pleasant, and every movement carried an air of nobility.

Chen Feng continued watching Wu Feng and Nanmen Yun'er's battle on the stage and casually replied, "Suit yourself."

As the Young Master of the Nine Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, Ning Tian had never been brushed off so casually. She immediately cursed Chen Feng inwardly for being utterly unromantic.

By then, Wu Feng had already used Martial Soul Possession. Her Martial Soul was the Red Dragon, which could be considered a top-tier Beast Martial Soul. Naturally, it was still inferior to Ma Xiaotao's Evil Fire Phoenix.

Wu Feng's delicate body suddenly grew more slender. She seemed to have aged several years in an instant, taking on the appearance of a fully developed sixteen- or seventeen-year-old girl.

Her long, shapely body burst through her school uniform, revealing a highly elastic leather bodysuit beneath.

Her smooth, firm legs were long and round, while the one-piece leather outfit tightened upward, wrapping around the full breasts that had developed after she unleashed her Martial Soul.

A faint red glow rippled across Wu Feng's skin. Starting from the left side of her face, a layer of fine dragon scales spread over her skin, extending down her neck, across her shoulder, and all the way over her left arm and hand.

Two yellow Spirit Rings rose from beneath her feet.

Wu Feng's figure looked slender and alluring, yet it also radiated a wild, powerful beauty.

After Nanmen Yun'er used Martial Soul Possession, a pair of emerald-green wings appeared behind her. Her hands turned emerald-green as well, as if carved from jade, and she struck toward Wu Feng.

Watching Chen Feng focus entirely on the Soul Battle, Ning Tian's thoughts stirred, and she decided to find a shared topic with him through the match.

Chen Feng soon discovered that Ning Tian possessed a wealth of knowledge, and the two quickly began chatting back and forth.

After Wu Feng and Nanmen Yun'er finished their match, the three girls sat around Chen Feng and joined in the conversation.

The other male students watched the three prettiest and most outstanding girls in the class surrounding Chen Feng with bright smiles, and they were green with envy.

The other female students also wanted to come over and chat with Chen Feng, but compared to the exceptional trio of Wu Feng, Ning Tian, and Nanmen Yun'er, they felt inferior and could only watch enviously as the three girls laughed and talked with him.

Morning practical class soon ended. Aside from Battle Soul Masters, special students from healing, Support System, food-type, and other non-combat specialties were each assigned a Battle Soul Master partner by Stone for two-on-two matches, ensuring that everyone experienced practical combat at least once.

After an entire morning, more than half the students in Freshman Class Nine had completed their practical battles.

"Morning class is over. I'm dismissing you a few minutes early. This afternoon, we'll still be conducting practical training in the Soul Battle Zone. All right, go eat."

Once Stone dismissed the class, the students happily rushed off to eat.

"Chen Feng, let's go eat together," Nanmen Yun'er said softly to Chen Feng.

Ning Tian also smiled at Chen Feng. "Chen Feng, let's go together."

Wu Feng did not say anything. She stood beside Ning Tian with an indifferent expression.

Watching his boss leave to eat with three beauties, Wu Yue felt tears well up in his heart. As Chen Feng's self-proclaimed lackey, Wu Yue naturally understood that he could not interrupt Big Brother's time with beautiful women, so he went to eat with several friends.

When everyone reached the Canteen, only Freshman Class Nine students were lined up to buy food, making the spacious Canteen seem particularly empty.

Naturally, Chen Feng and the others ate the finest dishes: a plate of tender Earth Dragon Meat, a bowl of medicinal soup, Fire Tiger Tiger Marrow, and a large bowl of high-quality rice.

This meal cost Chen Feng more than fifty Gold Soul Coins.

After eating, Chen Feng bid the three girls farewell and returned to the dormitory.

When Chen Feng returned to the dormitory, he saw Wu Yue wiggling his eyebrows with a Lecherous expression, leaving Chen Feng speechless.

Wu Yue gave a lecherous grin. "Big Brother truly is Big Brother. You captured the hearts of the three most beautiful girls in the class all at once. Impressive, impressive."

Chen Feng flashed back to his bed without replying to Wu Yue. Instead, he said something completely unrelated. "Wu Yue, your talent is quite good. Cultivate properly."

Wu Yue still wanted to say something, but Chen Feng had already closed his eyes and begun cultivating.

Wu Yue thought to himself, What a cultivation maniac. He's still cultivating during the midday break...

The lunch break passed in a flash. Chen Feng and Wu Yue left the dormitory and headed toward the Soul Battle Zone.

They still gathered in the Soul Battle Zone that afternoon for their usual lessons. However, after Chen Feng's feat of fighting forty opponents alone that morning spread among the Class Nine girls—

As Chen Feng walked through Shrek Academy, people around him whispered among themselves.

Many girls from other grades even came up to strike up conversations with Chen Feng.

Wu Yue, walking beside him, was consumed by envy, jealousy, and resentment. He silently complained, Senior Sisters, you're making eyes at a blind man. You're wasting your effort.

Chen Feng merely offered a few perfunctory responses to the girls who approached him, putting on an indifferent front.

Otherwise, he would have no time to do anything else every day; just dealing with these women would be troublesome enough.

More importantly, Chen Feng was not interested in any of them. Proud as he was, his standards for women were extremely high—looks, figure, cultivation, talent...

The afternoon's practical matches went quickly. They were all students whose Soul Power had not yet reached Rank Twenty, and each only had one Soul Skill. Once they used Martial Soul Possession and compared Soul Skills, the victor was usually decided.

There was still more than an hour before dismissal when all of Freshman Class Nine had finished their practical battles.

This gave Stone a general understanding of the entire class, which had been her goal. By observing the students' battles, she could gain the deepest possible understanding of them in the shortest time.

By then, Stone's lesson plan already contained basic information on every student: what each student excelled at, what they were poor at, their Soul Skills, their strengths, their weaknesses, and which students were suited to form teams together... Stone was already preparing for the Freshman Assessment three months later.

Afterward, they returned to the classroom, where Stone gave a summary and explained the curriculum for the next three months. At last, the day's lessons came to an end.

The sky gradually darkened as the moon rose and the sun set...

As Chen Feng walked out of the teaching building beneath the chilly moonlight, he saw an unexpected woman.

Beneath the moonlight, she resembled a Snow Lotus—cool and aloof, standing gracefully. Her long hair flowed like a waterfall, smooth and lustrous black, naturally curling over her shoulders and giving off an icy beauty untouched by the world.

Her skin was pale as jade and delicate as fresh snow, as though it had never been tainted by worldly dust.

Her nose was high and straight, her jawline sculpted and clear, while her slightly upturned eyes revealed a faint distance and pride, as though she regarded everything in the world with elegant indifference.

That aloofness made the male students around her dare only to admire her from afar, never approach.

When she saw Chen Feng, the coldness on her face melted away, and a heart-stirring smile slowly blossomed...
