Feng Ling was taken aback by Chen Wang's words.

From a young age, she was a favored daughter of heaven, the eldest daughter of the Feng Family Feng Family, the apple of the Lineage's eye, showered with love and affection. She made rapid progress in cultivating various profound Battle Skill of the Feng Family.

She is also considered the young genius most likely to break through to the Great Sword Master before the age of thirty.

Although Hong Xiu and Qiu Yue's cultivation levels have always been higher than hers, it's because they are older and have received careful training from their mother.

Feng Ling never felt frustrated about this.

After thinking about it very seriously, this bright and charming young lady finally came to a conclusion.

"Hmph, this bastard is playing a trick on me!"

Feng Ling snapped out of her daze and returned to her usual radiant self. She stormed off to find Chen Wang.

"I'll make him teach me a new Cultivation Method. He said he made Cultivation Method himself, so why can't he make one for me? I'm not bad looking either, am I any less than others when it comes to being a female slave?"

Feng Ling was indeed very beautiful, although due to her age she was not as charming as Hong Xiu, nor as aloof as Qiu Yue.

But she has a hot figure, and when she puts on leather armor, she has a heroic and dashing look.

Her lower abdomen was perfectly flat, and the glimpses of skin beneath added to her allure; her long, flowing hair was casually tied back.

She was a wild woman who made you want to conquer her the moment you saw her.

Although Feng Ling was somewhat annoyed by the fiery gazes men gave her on ordinary days, she knew that her charm was definitely not weak.

At this moment, she angrily ran straight to find Chen Wang.

However, when she pushed open the door and went in, she saw a scene that made her blush.

Chen Wang sat imposingly in the chair, his legs spread wide.

Hong Xiu was kneeling right in front of him, her long hair cascading down her back like a peony.

Feng Ling cried out, opening her rosy little mouth wide.

Hong Xiu was startled.

She turned her head, her cheeks flushed, and was somewhat surprised to see Feng Ling.

But then Chen Wang pressed her head down.

Chen Wang said calmly, "Ignore her, she's just a kid."

Hong Xiu knelt on the ground, her eyes somewhat glazed over. Upon hearing Chen Wang's words, she inexplicably started again.

Even given her usual personality, she wouldn't do something like this.

Feng Ling was dumbfounded. She covered her mouth as she watched this scene, her delicate body tense, feeling hot all over and her mouth dry.

Chen Wang's arrogance was something she couldn't stand.

She was only a sixteen-year-old girl, and very shy. She covered her face and ran away, forgetting to close the door.

Chen Wang waved to close the door, and then set up a barrier outside to block everyone and prevent any sound from getting out.

"Now no one will bother us. Don't worry, no sound will get out," Chen Wang said softly.

Upon hearing this, Hong Xiu raised her head and said indistinctly, "You have soundproof barriers, are you a magician?"

Chen Wang patted her head and said with a faint smile, "I know a lot more! You'll find out soon enough."

Hong Xiu blushed.

Her cheeks were a little sore, but with Chen Wang's encouragement, she continued.

The two didn't appear in the yard until evening.

The person in charge of the courtyard had already brought over a table full of food.

The food in this world is somewhat rough, consisting of roasted meat, braised meat, and some simply prepared vegetables.

Chen Wang was wearing a crescent-colored robe at this moment.

Hong Xiu sat down. Her skin was so tender it seemed to drip water, and her eyes were as captivating as Autumn Water. She sat down and ate her food in small bites.

Qiu Yue didn't notice anything unusual. She was aloof and not particularly interested in what was happening around her.

Her injuries were all internal and did not affect her eating, but they did somewhat affect her circulation of fighting spirit.

Seeing that Qiu Yue's face was still a little pale, Hong Xiu asked with concern, "Are you alright?"

Qiu Yue revealed a faint smile.

"Fine."

Hong Xiu looked like a thief, her eyes darting around.

Qiu Yue was injured, and she originally went to Chen Wang for help, but she ended up entangled with Chen Wang in the room until dark.

Thinking of this, her face flushed, and she quickly lowered her head.

Qiu Yue still didn't notice anything unusual and continued eating.

Feng Ling, standing to the side, kept glancing between Chen Wang and Hong Xiu, her cheeks flushed.

Seeing Hong Xiu's delicate little mouth eating, I couldn't help but think of the scene from before, my face flushed and my ears turned even redder.

There were few constraints of etiquette in this era, and the atmosphere was relatively open, but not quite that open.

This meal was fraught with hidden agendas.

A powerful force was surging within Hong Xiu's body, which surprised her.

Recalling how her limbs had gone weak and how Chen Wang had positioned her, Hong Xiu also somewhat surprised.

"Could this also increase strength?"

The Hong Xiu' Heartfelt Thoughts.

Chen Wang ate quickly because the food wasn't to his liking, and he only ate a little bit.

Qiu Yue ate very slowly. When Chen Wang came to her side, Qiu Yue subconsciously became nervous.

"What's wrong?"

Chen Wang said calmly, "Hong Xiu asked me to treat your injuries. I was originally too lazy to care, but Hong Xiu asked for help."

After Chen Wang finished speaking, he gently patted Qiu Yue's shoulder.

Qiu Yue's eyebrows immediately furrowed.

"Who cares what I say!"

But the next moment, she found that a gentle force quickly sorted out the scattered Qi Aura in her body. This Qi Aura stimulated some hidden ice attributes in her body, which clashed with the fire attribute Phoenix Battle Qi she usually cultivated.

The combination of ice and fire, coupled with the life force contained within this power, repaired her injured internal organs.

Qiu Yue couldn't help but groan.

The sound was uttered, and even she Feng Ling with Hong Xiu.

Qiu Yue jumped up, the chair was pulled out, and the sound was very clear.

She looked at her hands in disbelief. "What did you do to me?"

Chen Wang said, "How does it feel to experience both ice and fire? I'm helping you activate your original attributes."

"..." Qiu Yue was stunned for a moment upon hearing this. She wanted to refute it, but she felt that she was stronger than before, and something in her body seemed to be slowly reviving.

So she fell silent, quietly feeling the changes in her body in disbelief.

Upon hearing about the contrast between ice and fire, Hong Xiu's face flushed slightly, and she gave Chen Wang a charming look.

Chen Wang just said that she came to him to plead for her life.

And Chen Wang, this ruthless killer who treats human life as worthless, actually healed Qiu Yue's injuries.

Hong Xiu was very clever. She realized that Chen Wang could cure Qiu Yue, but he wanted to make Qiu Yue suffer more.

The fact that Qiu Yue's injuries were healed so quickly is truly because of my sake.

Her gaze had been evasive just now, and the guilt she felt vanished instantly. She felt that Chen Wang's approval of her made her feel very valued.

"One should know that a young man with lofty ambitions once vowed to be the best in the world," Hong Xiu murmured to herself.

The man before them was too mysterious; it was hard to imagine that such a lewd and debauched fellow could say such things.

"This is a very contradictory and complex person!" Hong Xiu thought to herself.

"He's a jerk, but a cute jerk," Hong Xiu silently added in her mind.

However, before they could teach Qiu Yue, after they finished eating, the sky suddenly turned fiery red.

Then, bang bang bang! Terrifying explosions rang out, shocking and deafening, as if fireworks had exploded.

"What happened?"

Feng Ling emerged from her earlier emotional state and exclaimed in surprise.

Chen Wang said crisply, "Let's go take a look."

He went out first, and everyone else quickly followed.

Feng Ling's eyes lit up; something big must have happened, otherwise the scene just now wouldn't have been so terrifying.

They rushed toward the location of the explosion, and the closer they got, the drier the air felt, as if all the water had been drained away.

Fengling pondered, "It seems there's a water-based mage here."

She once witnessed a water-based mage unleash his Law Technique, creating a brief vacuum within a radius of several meters.

And now, even from this great distance, they can feel the water elements being drained.

When everyone arrived, they saw a middle-aged man wearing a blue robe surrounded by a light blue light screen.

You can vaguely see that he has a handsome face, and he must have been a handsome young man when he was young.

Before him stood a ten-meter-long Water Dragon, its expression ferocious, its surface crystal clear, radiating a terrifying aura.

The Water Dragon danced around him, occasionally letting out Dragon's Roar, which was quite astonishing.

Opposite him was a man dressed in a black robe, his face obscured by a mask.

He was surrounded by a ghostly aura, filled with a black mist, and three expressionless warriors stood before him.

The two fought fiercely.

The intense flames just now were from a scroll unfurled by the man in black robes.

Scrolls are typically used to record magic, and the more powerful the magic, the more meticulous the materials used in the scrolls.

Feng Ling examined him closely and couldn't help but exclaim in surprise, "This is the personal disciple of Liu Feng, the Grand Magus of the Water Element!"

There were some mercenaries, including warriors and mages, watching from the sidelines.

These words moved everyone present.

Being a mage is an extremely rare profession, requiring a high level of talent. Even the lowest-level Magic Apprentice are rarely seen in Mercenary Groups in Whispering Plains.

The higher you go, the fewer people there are. The entire Dragon River World has ten sword saints, but only Grand Magus!

The man before you is Guo Chen, a disciple of Liu Feng, one of the Grand Magus.

This is a powerful mage, Liu Feng's most prized disciple, and he has a great reputation.

"Who could possibly fight against such a master?" Feng Ling asked in astonishment.

The man in the black robe exuded a chilling aura, as if he had stepped out of hell.

The three people in front of him were all swordsmen, and at this moment they were wielding their Sword Qi with great skill, showing no signs of fatigue or pain. Their movements were also extremely swift, and they charged forward again! Mages are most afraid of close combat, unlike cultivators who, after reaching the Foundation Establishment Realm, have Law Power throughout their bodies and are impervious to blades and spears.

With a wave of the hand and a lift of the leg, terrifying power was unleashed.

Magicians can manipulate the elemental forces of heaven and earth for their own use, making them incredibly powerful, but they are physically weak.

At this moment, Guo Chen chanted a spell, and the Water Dragon beside him suddenly pounced out! This Water Dragon was not like the dragon Chen Wang had seen in the Cultivation World, but more like a Western dragon, with two wings and a fierce appearance. It pounced forward with extremely swift movements, bringing with it a gust of wind.

Although it is formed from water elements, it is extremely powerful and can be immune to many attacks. It can also reassemble after being broken, making it very difficult to deal with.

A swordsman was defeated.

Chen Wang noticed that his body had almost been cut in half at the waist, but he still managed to stand up, the flesh on the side that was white.

He scanned the area with his Divine Sense and then understood.

"No wonder...so these are all puppets!" Chen Wang said.

Feng Ling exclaimed in surprise, "A puppet?"

She thought of the notes of the Grand Magister Dan Dong that she had seen in the woods.

"This is a necromancer."

The battle between the two was extremely fierce. The man in black robes was also a mage, but the puppets he controlled were all swordsmen who were good at close combat. He wanted to end the battle quickly.

But Guo Chen's Law Technique is extremely powerful.

Chen Wang noticed that when he cast spells, he doesn't necessarily have to keep his distance like an archer, but rather he cleverly uses many water-based Law Technique.

The ground suddenly transforms into a pool of water, a chain of condensed water elements, or Water Mirror Technique, and so on.

The three swordsman-level puppets were quickly overturned.

This person's control over Law Technique is truly masterful. Chen Wang pondered that if he had the same power as him, he probably wouldn't be a match for him in a Law Technique contest.

However, Chen Wang rarely competed with others in magical Law Technique.

During his Qi Refining stage, he would use Shotgun and bombs to deal with low-level cultivators.

The two fought fiercely, and in the end, the man in black robes was no match for him. After the three puppets were shattered, he cursed under his breath, and then a cloud of black smoke filled the air, obscuring everyone's view.

A barrier appeared in front of Chen Wang, moving automatically without wind, blocking out the black smoke.

When everyone regained their sight, the man in black robes was nowhere to be seen.

Guo Chen, who was regarded as the next generation of water magic master, remained calm and did not chase after them. Instead, he took a potion to recover his strength and then left.

Feng Ling said regretfully, "Sigh, why didn't we chase after them? If we had, we might have found some clues."

Chen Wang smiled. "How can we chase after him? He's badly injured!"

Feng Ling blinked, somewhat surprised. "What did you say? He's injured? I didn't see that. I thought his Law Technique was very powerful."

"You don't know anything..." Chen Wang said slowly, "Based on the notes of that Dan Dong Mage, I feel that this person doesn't use necromancy."

The three women couldn't help but look over there.

Chen Wang shrugged and smiled.

"I don't know anything about necromancy either, I'm just talking nonsense."

However, none of the three women believed it at this moment.

That Cultivation Method was also made up by him, but Hong Xiu had only practiced the Azure Origin Sword Art for two days and had already easily defeated Qiu Yue, who was originally at the same level as her.

Chen Wang looked in the direction the black-robed man had left and smiled to himself, "Puppetry, huh? It looks so familiar."

He planned to have a chat with the man in black robes, even if it was just an academic discussion.
