After saying that, Xiao Wu shot Tang San, who was beside her, a look. "Careful, Brother Feng." Tang San could think of no other reason to explain how much Brother Feng had changed overnight! Judging by the looks of it, his Spirit Ring might not be much weaker than mine.

In the time it took a spark to flash, Wang Feng shifted slightly and struck like lightning, grabbing Tang San's wrist as he attacked!

"..."

Wang Feng looked at the two of them. Xiao Wu's eyes held a fierce competitive streak, as if she really wanted to fight him.

How could that be possible!

Tang San was startled by the conclusion he'd reached.

Wang Feng didn't bother with formalities. This was a good chance to test his current strength!

Tang San took a deep breath. Even now, Brother Feng put an immense weight on him.

He was tossed more than ten meters into the air!

But just then, Xiao Wu said sweetly:

The students and work-study students all scattered, then crouched around the grounds like a pack of huskies, eagerly watching to see what kind of fight would break out.

Wang Feng seemed to have anticipated this. A faintly amused look flashed in his eyes as he swiftly turned, then flung Tang San away before he could even hit the ground!

Xiao Chenyu looked at Wang Feng with tears in his eyes.

Wang Feng glared at Xiao Chenyu again and continued, "From now on, you'll acknowledge Xiao Wu as your boss. Got it?"

No one else could make out Tang San's movements, but Wang Feng could see them clearly.

Tang San pondered for a moment. Brother Feng might have a Spirit Ring too, but it might not be the most suitable one for him. Mine is the best fit for me, and it's boosted my strength tremendously. I should be able to fight Brother Feng, especially with Xiao Wu here...

"Okay... all right..." Xiao Chenyu nodded.

Tang San was clever. Almost as soon as he saw Wang Feng, he'd thought of all sorts of things.

It was Wang Feng!

The higher the age of a Spirit Ring, the greater the boost a Spirit Master received after absorbing it!

Brother Feng had changed even more than I have! That means the Spirit Ring he absorbed must be even older?

"No way! Brother Feng, since you're their boss, I have to defeat you before I can become their boss! Otherwise, it wouldn't be fair, and they wouldn't accept me!"

Though he'd known Wang Feng for only a day, Xiao Chenyu genuinely admired him.

He was truly extraordinary!

Xiao Wu couldn't name the technique.

Wang Feng walked to the other side and clasped his hands behind his back.

Though Tang San hadn't mastered it yet, it was already remarkable!

Three hundred years? Or the same four-hundred-year Spirit Ring as mine?

Wang Feng walked up to Tang San and the others, then rapped Xiao Chenyu on the head. "You fool! These two are my friends. How dare you give them trouble?"

Maybe I can beat Brother Feng!

Compared to three months ago, Xiao San was clearly stronger after obtaining his Spirit Ring.

Tang San's gaze sharpened. He suddenly sprang into the air, pivoted around Wang Feng's hand, and vaulted high behind him. Then he swung down, hoping to use the momentum to throw Brother Feng!

If I'd known these two were such close friends of Boss Wang, I'd never have picked a fight with Xiao Wu and Tang San.

"Fine. Which of you wants to go first?"

No one could make out Tang San's movements, yet before they knew it, he had already attacked Wang Feng!

"Boss Wang..."

Could Brother Feng have hunted a five- or six-hundred-year Soul Beast by himself?

Although Sister Xiao Wu was also a work-study student, she was even stronger than Tang San—a level-twelve Spirit Master!

"I don't know..." Xiao Chenyu said miserably.

Wang Feng remembered that in the original story, Xiao San had used the secret techniques of the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record to fight Dai Mubai head-on for the first time, despite being only around level twenty-seven against Dai Mubai's level thirty-plus. He'd forced Dai Mubai to use his Soul Power!

And his skin had gotten so much better, too—fairer even than Xiao Wu's?

What incredible strength!

He held both hands in claw shapes. One claw shot toward Wang Feng's neck, as if to seize a lion or capture a tiger.

With a low shout, Tang San's charging figure swayed like a drifting leaf, making him hard to track. It was an unusual movement technique!

I'm not the Tang San who hadn't awakened his Soul Power anymore!

Seeing Wang Feng approach, Tang San couldn't help feeling astonished.

Because he'd realized there was only one explanation for Brother Feng's transformation!

But then he discovered that Brother Feng's hand was like steel, and he couldn't apply his skillful force at all!

His physical abilities had already surpassed Tang San's imagination by far!

If nothing unexpected had happened, those were probably the grappling techniques from the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record: Controlling Crane Capturing Dragon. The movement technique was Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track. Both were extraordinary skills.

Xiao Wu and Tang San watched the approaching boy in astonishment.

Tang San froze, then drew his hand back and curled it slightly. Gathering his skillful force, he tried to use it to break free of Brother Feng's grasp and turn the tables on him.

"Brother Feng, Xiao Wu's right. Why don't we spar too?" Tang San chimed in.

But Wang Feng knew what technique Tang San was using.

From the looks of it, this Tang San seemed to know them, too... Well, that made sense. Boss Wang was a work-study student, after all!

"Um... Little San, Xiao Wu, it was all a misunderstanding... Let's just forget about it."

Xiao San seemed more confident now that he'd obtained a Spirit Ring.

"Cough, cough!"

He'd been in Holy Soul Village the whole time. He hadn't even gone anywhere!

That meant he'd absorbed the power of a Spirit Ring!

Xiao Chenyu's heart lurched. This was bad...

But he'd grown taller!

"I'll go first!"

It had been more than three months since he'd last fought Brother Feng!

Compared to that, Xiao Wu only thought that Tang San's Brother Feng had changed a lot overnight. He was much taller than her and looked better, too.

No way... Had Brother Feng really hunted a hundred-year Spirit Ring by himself?

Tang San was utterly shocked.

Xiao Wu watched them, thinking of how she'd fought Xiao San several times. Most matches ended in a draw; she could beat him only by using her Soft Technique.

But once Xiao San started using that strange footwork to run circles around her and flee, it was hard for her to win.

"This is one of Xiao San's special techniques... When I fight him, he can easily get me under control if I don't use my Soft Technique."

Without thinking further, Tang San steadied his mind and circulated the Mysterious Heaven Skill. He didn't use a Soul Skill, but charged straight at Wang Feng!

His palms took on a faint jade-green hue as he quietly activated the Mysterious Jade Hand!

He'd never expected Brother Feng to be the boss of Xiao Chenyu and those other noble youths.

How had he managed that?

That four-hundred-year-old Datura Snake had taken everything he had to kill, and even then, he'd been incredibly lucky!

Could it even be older?

The secret techniques of the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record couldn't make up for the gap anymore!

After all, Tang San had grown up with Wang Feng.

But Tang San didn't know that Wang Feng's transformation hadn't come from absorbing a Spirit Ring. His body had been reforged!

It was a change brought about by the Meteor Tear!

Tang San spoke first, his gaze calm as he watched Brother Feng.

To Tang San, Brother Feng was nearly a head taller than him.

That was about the height of a ten-year-old among the older students!

And Tang San had grown four or five centimeters after absorbing his Spirit Ring.

He hadn't expected Brother Feng to grow taller, too!

Five hundred years? Six hundred?
