Finals: One Man's Debut

Her gaze fell on Bibi Dong.

Qian Renxue was even more surprised to find that Bibi Dong's expression was also quite unpleasant.

There were two possibilities. Either Bibi Dong was unaware of it as well, or she knew but was unable to influence the Worship Hall.

Spirit Hall.

Something major was bound to happen today. This was Qian Renxue's most direct intuition.

"Your Highness, you don't look well."

Ning Fengzhi seemed to notice Qian Renxue's unusual mood and quietly asked from beside her, "Are you worried about Shrek Academy?"

Qian Renxue instantly came back to her senses and quickly regained her usual wisdom and calm. Then she smiled. "Teacher, what do you think?"

"Your Highness, there is no need to worry."

Ning Fengzhi smiled elegantly and explained, "The Spirit Academy Team is strong, but the Shrek Academy Team is not weak either. Shrek's opponents have always been formidable, yet under the Grandmaster's leadership, they have created miracles time and again. I believe there is at least a fifty-percent chance that another miracle will happen this time. Never underestimate the Grandmaster."

Qian Renxue said, "Let's hope so."

Spirit Academy Team's preparation area.

Xie Yue stood still, gazing at Shrek Academy across from him, his eyes filled with gravity.

"Boss, what are you worried about?"

Yan raised his chin and swaggered over. "You're our leader, the number one of Spirit Hall's younger generation. Even though we've temporarily lost Nana, with you here, Shrek Academy is nothing to fear. Besides, isn't that guy here too?"

"Anyone capable of ambushing Nana and seriously injuring her should be at the peak of Soul King, perhaps even a Soul Emperor already! He really does have the right to be arrogant."

"So what if he's the Judgment Elder? He dared to hurt Nana. One day, I'll make him repay it all with interest."

As he spoke, Yan's fists unconsciously clenched tight. Now that he could no longer fawn over Hu Liena, he could only extend that devotion to her brother, Xie Yue. For a moment, flattering praise flew everywhere as if it cost nothing.

After all, in terms of status—

Xie Yue could indeed bear the title of number one.

It was true that they had lost Hu Liena and their Martial Soul Fusion Skill, but Xie Yue's Self-Created Soul Skill, Full Moon, was the truly terrifying thing.

Full Moon was Xie Yue's strongest move. Even without Hu Liena, he could unleash it alone. Back when he had just broken through to level fifty and become a Soul King, he had relied on that move to defeat a teacher at level sixty-eight, a Soul Emperor. Because of that, he had been publicly recognized as the number one of Spirit Hall's younger generation.

But Chen Changfeng's appearance had completely shattered the confidence he had built over more than a decade.

Xie Yue was not as reckless and thoughtless as Yan. Things definitely were not as Yan had guessed.

An ambush?!

It had clearly been a direct attack.

Could someone whom even Ju and Gui Douluo had failed to take down immediately truly be no more than a peak Soul King or Soul Emperor? Could just anyone become the Judgment Elder?

Every era had no shortage of geniuses, but above those geniuses would always stand an unparalleled prodigy, someone all other geniuses had to look up to. Perhaps that person was him. Even now, Xie Yue could never forget that World-Ending Heavenly Thunder from more than a decade ago.

Just then, Chen Changfeng arrived at Spirit Academy's preparation area as well.

He had heard Yan's gossip just now.

Having lived two lives, his temperament far surpassed that of his peers.

He simply treated him like a dog.

"Elder!"

"Elder!"

Seeing Chen Changfeng approach, Zhang Ping, Xu Yu, and the others cupped their hands in salute. Whether they accepted it in their hearts or not, Chen Changfeng's status was there.

Chen Changfeng gave Spirit Hall's Golden Generation an indifferent glance.

Then he headed toward the arena stage in Spirit Plaza.

"Hey!"

"Wait!"

"We're a team now!"

Just as Chen Changfeng was about to leave, someone called out behind him.

He stopped and turned his head, glancing at Yan, who had called out to him.

This was the first time Chen Changfeng had seen this lapdog from so close. Yan's looks were somewhat ordinary, but his build was exceptionally burly. He had long fiery-red hair, flame patterns all over his body, and even his irises were dark red.

Moreover, the way this guy looked at him still seemed to carry a trace of anger.

"Something wrong?" Chen Changfeng looked at Yan with amusement.

"Hmph!"

Yan snorted. "Others may fear you, but I don't."

"Since you've joined the team, you need to follow the captain's arrangements and learn to work with everyone!"

"A match requires tactical coordination."

"So in the upcoming battle, you must listen to Xie Yue's arrangements as well."

Yan solemnly straightened his team uniform and even deliberately displayed the insignia marking him as vice-captain, waving it before Chen Changfeng.

His tone carried an inexplicable pride.

"Coordination?"

"I don't think that's necessary." Chen Changfeng sneered.

"You're unwilling? You don't believe in our strength?"

Yan had not expected Chen Changfeng to refuse so decisively. He glared, and his temper instantly flared again.

He actually dared to disregard tactics?

Tactics were the key to victory.

Without tactics, even if one entered the arena, one could easily become the target of concentrated attacks.

He actually refused. Had water gotten into his brain?

"Judgment Elder, although we still don't know the extent of your strength, please don't be careless. Shrek Academy can display strength close to that of a Soul Sage."

"That's right. Nana and Xie Yue originally had a secret weapon, but now that you've replaced Nana, shouldn't you at least let us know your current strength and what position you're suited for?"

With Yan taking the lead, the other members of the Spirit Academy Team also gathered around.

In terms of strength, they clearly all believed Chen Changfeng's cultivation was around the peak of Soul King.

At most, he would only be an early-stage Soul Emperor.

After all, his age was right there. Even for a genius, this was common sense.

But unlike Yan, there seemed to be some expectation in their words. They hoped Chen Changfeng could lead them to victory.

Chen Changfeng did not understand what they were saying at all.

Perhaps only those of the same kind could share a common language.

Clearly, they were not.

"Did I say I wanted you to take the field?"

Chen Changfeng automatically filtered out their meaningless sword intent. After decisively refusing once more, he continued toward the plaza. "If you don't want to die, don't go near the plaza. It isn't safe there. I advise you to go to the spectator stands instead."

It was a kind reminder.

Chen Changfeng knew exactly what kind of terrifying scene his divine skill could create.

He still could not fully control the power of a divine skill.

Perhaps he would need to reach the level of a Titled Douluo first.

Chen Changfeng was not sure whether using a divine skill within the protective formation would affect the outside world. These people were, after all, the future backbone of Spirit Hall. Giving them a warning was the least he could do.

Holy Crap!

Alone?

They had no part in this?

Spirit Hall's entire Golden Generation was stunned, frozen on the spot.

"This guy! He's insane!"

Seeing Chen Changfeng step onto the plaza alone, Yan cursed indignantly, "You don't know what's good for you!"

"Yan, don't be impulsive." Xie Yue spoke up and interrupted Yan.

Yan snorted. "What are you so smug about? So what if you're the Judgment Elder? Sooner or later, he'll pay the price for his arrogance! Just wait and see!"
