The crowd immediately burst into mocking laughter.
Liu Long sneered without restraint, "Wang Sheng, have you people got water in your brains? You sent an auxiliary Soul Master to fight me?"
Wang Sheng rolled his eyes. "Liu Long, don't talk too big. If you can't even beat an auxiliary Soul Master later, that'll be embarrassing."
"Fine." Liu Long said sharply, "I'd like to see how an auxiliary Soul Master like you plans to beat me."
"Are you ready?" Lu Fei looked at him with a half-smile.
"Come on!"
The moment the word "on" left his mouth, Lu Fei had already charged out. He was incredibly fast, appearing as nothing but a series of afterimages in Liu Long and the others' eyes.
Among those present, probably only Lu Yu and Xiao Wu could clearly see his movements.
"So fast!"
When they saw Lu Fei make his move, Xiao Chenyu and the others' expressions immediately turned serious.
They had underestimated Lu Fei.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Before they could react, several dull impacts rang out, and Liu Long was sent flying like a kite with its string cut.
He finally crashed heavily into his own group, knocking several people over in the process.
"That's it? You're way too weak."
Lu Fei was not trying to mock him. He was genuinely surprised.
The other guy had actually stood there and let him hit him. Were there really people this stupid in the world?
But Xiao Chenyu and the others did not see it that way. They simply assumed Lu Fei was mocking them, and their faces immediately darkened.
"Boss... I..."
Liu Long got to his feet, lowering his head and not daring to look Xiao Chenyu in the eye.
This was fucking humiliating.
He had been sent flying before even lasting a single exchange.
That slap to the face had landed with a resounding smack, smack.
Xiao Chenyu did not respond, his expression somewhat grave.
He had not even seen Lu Fei's movements clearly.
If this kid was already so strong, then what about their boss?
Thinking of this, Xiao Chenyu's gaze could not help but fall on Lu Yu.
At that moment, he felt immense pressure.
Today...
They might really capsize in a gutter.
Even though he was already a Soul Master, he still had no confidence that he could block his opponent.
Because the other side was simply too fast.
So fast that he could not even see his body clearly. What use was being a Soul Master then?
Lu Fei shouted, "Stop dragging this out. Who's next? Can't you send someone stronger? This is no fun."
Xiao Chenyu said coldly, "Ling Feng, you go."
At his words, the slight Ling Feng stepped out from the group. He no longer dared to mock anyone, and his face was filled with seriousness.
"You sure you can handle this?" Lu Fei looked Ling Feng up and down, the doubt in his eyes completely undisguised. This infuriated Ling Feng.
He was unhappy, but Lu Fei's strength was right there for all to see. Since he could not beat him, he could only keep his mouth shut. As long as he could defeat him, that would speak louder than a thousand words.
However, even though he was known for his speed, Ling Feng still had no confidence. Lu Fei was faster than him.
At least on land, he was.
Once both sides were ready, Ling Feng launched the first attack.
Because he knew he could not allow Lu Fei to seize the initiative.
Ling Feng leaped into the air, nimbly flipped midair, spread his arms, and actually glided through the air for two meters before diving straight at Lu Fei's head.
Seeing Ling Feng actually take flight, Lu Fei froze for two seconds. Only when the other party had already closed in did he react.
Seeing this, Lu Yu could not help shaking his head.
It seemed that aside from martial arts, he would also have to teach him some knowledge about Soul Masters and Soul Beasts. Otherwise, in a truly critical moment, those two seconds of hesitation could be fatal.
Fortunately, although Lu Fei was half a beat slow, his movement technique was agile. He instantly pulled away and dodged the attack.
But Ling Feng's reaction was not slow either.
His body twisted, and his arms beat through the air like wings. He forcefully changed direction and arrived behind Lu Fei despite moving later, striking with both hands toward either side of Lu Fei's neck.
Though Lu Fei was only level seven, due to cultivating the Heaven Origin Technique, his physique and spiritual power were no weaker than those of a true Soul Master.
His speed, strength, reactions, and perception far surpassed those of ordinary Soul Scholars, so he instantly sensed Ling Feng's movements.
His longsword left its sheath, stabbing backward behind him and landing precisely at Ling Feng's point of attack, forcing Ling Feng to abandon his strike and retreat.
Taking advantage of that opening, Lu Fei twisted around and drew his sword, turning defense into offense as he began his counterattack.
Ling Feng, still in the air, clearly had not expected Lu Fei's reaction to be so fast. Dodging Lu Fei's first sword in time was already his limit. How could he block the second?
"I... I surrender!"
Seeing the blade about to pierce his body and knowing he could no longer dodge, Ling Feng could only hurriedly admit defeat.
Otherwise, if that sword landed, even if it did not kill him, he certainly would not get off lightly.
This was only a spar. There was no need to risk his life, right?
Since Ling Feng had admitted defeat, Lu Fei had no need to press the attack. After all, they were classmates. He was not as ruthless as Lu Yu.
Seeing Ling Feng also lose, Xiao Chenyu and the others looked terrible.
Even Ling Feng, who was known for his speed, was no match for Lu Fei. Who among them could still fight him? Even Xiao Chenyu did not have much confidence.
Besides, this was only the first person the other side had sent out.
"Next!"
After beating Ling Feng, Lu Fei did not feel any joy.
Too weak.
Defeating an opponent like this did not give him even the slightest sense of accomplishment.
That calm tone deeply stung the older students across from him. Xiao Chenyu even muttered to himself, "Damn it, is the world changing? Are little brats these days all this strong?"
"Hahaha..."
Seeing the older students who had always bullied them being so helpless against Lu Fei, Wang Sheng could not help laughing happily.
He even mocked, "Boss Xiao, how was that? You can't even handle an auxiliary Soul Master. Are you convinced now? I think you should just surrender, so you don't have to suffer physically."
Xiao Chenyu stepped forward with a gloomy face.
After losing two matches in a row, he was the only one on their side who could try his luck against Lu Fei.
Though he knew they would probably lose today, his personality would not allow him to retreat without a fight. Even if he knew he would lose, he still had to step up.
"Xiao Chenyu, sixth-year student, level-eleven one-ring Battle Soul Master. Martial Soul: Wolf!"
As he spoke, faint clear light emerged from Xiao Chenyu's body. He quickly transformed into a wolfman, while a white soul ring rose from beneath his feet.
Seeing that familiar transformation process, Lu Fei immediately grew excited.
This was his first time fighting a real Soul Master.
Don't disappoint me too much.
Since the other side had introduced himself, Lu Fei could not be impolite either. "Lu Fei, level-seven ringless auxiliary Soul Scholar. Martial Soul: Steamed Bun."
Hearing Lu Fei's introduction, Xiao Chenyu could not help twitching at the corner of his mouth.
Damn it, an auxiliary Soul Master should just do auxiliary work properly. Why was he here competing with Battle Soul Masters for their livelihood? Was he trying to leave them no way to survive?
On the other side.
The many older students did not look much better either.
After cultivating for so many years, they could not even beat a first-year auxiliary Soul Master. Had they spent all those years cultivating in a dog's stomach?
The battle had begun.
Like Ling Feng, Xiao Chenyu chose to seize the initiative. He kicked off the ground, shooting forward as he reached directly for Lu Fei with one claw.
Xiao Chenyu had great confidence in the strength of his claws. He believed that as long as he got hold of Lu Fei, he could definitely crush him.
But Lu Fei was not a wooden stake. He would not stand there and let Xiao Chenyu knead him however he pleased.
The moment Xiao Chenyu finished his introduction, Lu Fei had already become alert. After all, this was his first real fight against a Soul Master.
He could not afford to be careless.
Thus, the instant Xiao Chenyu attacked, Lu Fei used his movement technique to pull away. Before determining his opponent's true strength, allowing him to get close was an absolutely foolish decision.
Xiao Chenyu attacked, while Lu Fei dodged.
He did not rush to counterattack. Instead, he was testing Xiao Chenyu's speed. Only after ensuring his own advantage could he remain undefeated. Then would be the time to launch his counterattack.
But Xiao Chenyu did not know what Lu Fei was thinking. Seeing him only evade, he could not help cursing, "Do you only know how to dodge? If you've got guts, face me head-on!"
The corner of Lu Fei's mouth lifted slightly.
After only a few exchanges, he had already confirmed that Xiao Chenyu's speed was merely average. Since he could now ensure he held an absolute advantage in speed...
There was nothing left to fear.
Having just dodged Xiao Chenyu's attack, Lu Fei suddenly took several rapid steps. His strange movements brought him before Xiao Chenyu almost instantly.
With a swish, his sword came slashing down, startling Xiao Chenyu badly.
He knew Lu Fei was fast, but only after experiencing it firsthand did he understand just how fast.
But Xiao Chenyu was not Ling Feng, much less Liu Long. Facing Lu Fei's sword, he did not retreat. Instead, he met it head-on with his sharp claws.
He had absolute confidence in his claws.
Clang! Clang! Clang!
Sure enough, sparks flew as claws and sword collided. The ringing clash of metal exploding through the air gave him tremendous confidence.
He had blocked it.
Seeing this, the many older students could not help smiling.
He blocked it. Boss blocked it.
However, Lu Yu was somewhat helpless.
This was the drawback of the Basic Sword Technique. Its killing power was simply too weak.
If one was not fast enough and lacked a suitable weapon, relying on sword techniques alone truly made it difficult to directly defeat this kind of powerful attack-type Battle Soul Master.
He Blocked It, Boss Blocked It
Though his sword had failed to achieve anything, Lu Fei was not in a hurry.
He pulled back again and began using the advantage of his movement technique to wear Xiao Chenyu down.
A sword from the east, another from the west—Lu Fei was like a ghost. With such nimble footwork, Xiao Chenyu had absolutely no way to deal with him.
Everyone could tell that under Lu Fei's toying, Xiao Chenyu's mentality was on the verge of collapse. Once he broke, the outcome would be decided.
On the older students' side, they watched as Lu Fei treated Xiao Chenyu like a monkey he was playing with.
Everyone instantly fell silent.
