Red Dragon Heart Fire

"Say that again?" Wu Feng pressed.

Lin Feng did not rush to explain, instead allowing a powerful wave of Soul Power to erupt from his body. Two black Soul Rings rose from beneath his feet, causing the very air within the training room to shudder.

Powerful strength is the best bargaining chip.

A perfectionist by nature, Lin Feng had long since grown accustomed to masking his white million-year Soul Rings as black ten-thousand-year ones.

"Ten-thousand-year Soul Rings... and two of them?! How did you do that?"

Wu Feng's red pupils contracted violently, the cold indifference on her face instantly replaced by shock.

"Can I say it's a secret?" Lin Feng replied tactfully.

Wu Feng did not press further, but she was now thoroughly convinced of Lin Feng's strength.

The loss wouldn't be great anyway, so she decided to take the risk.

Following Lin Feng's instructions, Wu Feng drew a vial of her own blood and handed it to him, then released her Martial Soul with full force.

"Red Dragon, possess!"

Accompanied by a low growl, Wu Feng's body underwent an astonishing transformation.

Her short red hair moved without wind, her figure instantly becoming fuller and taller. Her once-fitting school uniform split apart, revealing a tight-fitting black leather suit that clung to her skin.

The leather suit perfectly outlined the curves of her now-ample chest and her long, slender legs.

The exposed skin was covered in a layer of fine, dense red dragon scales. She looked like a awakened female Red Dragon, exuding a wild and dangerous aura.

A busty, grape-sized version of a tomboy!

Lin Feng had only ever seen this ideal type in manga before; seeing it in person, he couldn't help but admire the view.

"What are you looking at? You lecherous, rotten egg, eat my Dragon's Fire!"

"Wait a second!"

"First Soul Skill, Dragon's Fire!"

An annoyed Wu Feng launched a fierce attack at the seated Lin Feng, the scorching Red Dragon flames completely engulfing him.

Yet, Lin Feng remained calm at the center of the inferno. He circulated the Burning Art, resisting the impact of the flames while using the vial of blood to sense the subtle, primal power of the Red Dragon.

Under Wu Feng's astonished gaze, she realized that her Red Dragon flames were being continuously absorbed.

With a crisp, shattering sound, energy rippled around Lin Feng, and a third black Soul Ring slowly emerged.

He had succeeded!

He had broken through to level thirty, becoming the first Soul Elder in New Student Class Nine!

His third soul skill was named Red Dragon Heart Lotus.

Lin Feng had intentionally set up a mental barrier, so Wu Feng did not know he had advanced to a Soul Elder. It was better not to leak the secret that he could condense Soul Rings by devouring flames.

This Soul Ring had pushed his Soul Power Level to thirty-two. It hadn't maxed out like before, which suggested the gain was directly related to the cultivation level of the flame's original owner.

After all, Ma Xiaotao was a level sixty-plus Soul Emperor, while Wu Feng was only a level twenty-plus Soul Grand Master.

Once he withdrew the mental barrier, Lin Feng raised a hand to signal Wu Feng to stop her attack.

"You rotten egg, are you... really alright?"

Wu Feng's gaze was involuntarily drawn to Lin Feng's well-defined pectoral muscles, and she couldn't help but linger for a few extra moments.

She could clearly feel that the aura radiating from Lin Feng was significantly stronger than before.

Lin Feng noticed her somewhat strange gaze and realized belatedly that his shirt had been reduced to ashes in the previous flames.

"Don't look if you're not supposed to, kid."

"Screw you, want another taste of Dragon's Fire?"

"Stop, stop, I'm full. Thank you for the treat. Now, it's time for me to keep my promise."

With that, Lin Feng held his palm upward, and a more refined, scorching Red Dragon power slowly flowed out. The core of that power contained an extremely ancient, primordial aura.

"It seems you really weren't lying to me." Feeling the purity of that power, Wu Feng's eyes were filled with intense longing. "I'm ready, come on!"

Wu Feng opened her heart and body, accepting the infusion of this power.

As the purified Red Dragon power surged into her, her Martial Soul seemed to emit a joyful resonance, its quality improving at a perceptible rate.

However, the fusion of two powerful forces created violent energy fluctuations. The tight leather suit she wore could not withstand it; with a "rip," it began to melt and burn away.

"Ah! Don't look!" Wu Feng's sharp voice rang out as she hurriedly crouched down, her arms flailing to cover her vital areas.

Lin Feng reacted quickly, immediately pulling a long coat from his storage Soul Tool and swiftly draping it over her.

Wu Feng looked up, meeting Lin Feng's calm and sincere eyes.

For the first time, the girl who always presented herself as a cold tomboy felt an uncontrollable blush spread to the tips of her ears, a strange, unfamiliar emotion quietly budding in her heart.

"I'm sorry, it was my lack of consideration. I didn't expect the Soul Power impact to be this strong," Lin Feng said hurriedly, full of apology.

"It's, it's fine," Wu Feng turned her head slightly, clutching the coat as she stood up, forcing herself to remain calm. "It wasn't entirely your fault. We... we'll call it even."

Over the next week, Lin Feng tried to purify the Red Dragon Heart Fire for Wu Feng a few more times, but the improvement of her Martial Soul quality seemed to have hit a bottleneck, with the effects growing weaker each time.

However, there was an unexpected gain: much like soaking in the hot springs with Ma Xiaotao, Wu Feng's soul power increased rapidly during her dual cultivation with Lin Feng, unexpectedly jumping from level twenty-five to level thirty.

Of course, Lin Feng's own soul power was also rising rapidly.

Taking advantage of the fact that Wu Feng's soul power had reached a bottleneck and she was no longer pestering him, Lin Feng requested leave until the end of the month.

He pretended to head out for experiential training, but in reality, he was looking for a reasonable explanation for obtaining his third Soul Ring and advancing to become a Soul Elder.

What he did not know, however, was that on the other side, Ma Xiaotao was about to explode with rage.

She had gone to great lengths to apply to the academy for a co-ed dormitory.

These co-ed dormitories were usually only approved for soul master couples; she had been forced to pull strings with her teacher, Yan Shaozhe, and owed him a massive favor in the process.

Yet, once everything was settled, Lin Feng had vanished into thin air.

When the holiday ended, Lin Feng, completely unaware of the dormitory change, headed straight back to his original room. After he knocked, a strange senior sister opened the door, and only then did he learn that the dorms had been swapped.

Oh no... Lin Feng's heart sank.

"Yo, our little junior brother still remembers the way?"

Ma Xiaotao's voice rang out abruptly from behind him, startling Lin Feng so much that his entire body stiffened and cold sweat broke out instantly.

"Sister Xiaotao, listen to my explanation, I didn't disappear on purpose..."

"Save the explanations, come back with me first." Ma Xiaotao wore a smile that didn't reach her eyes. "Look at how tired you are after this time, so dark and thin; your senior sister will have to properly 'replenish' your body."

The words "replenish" were spoken with murderous intent.

"Sister Xiaotao, don't, I was wrong, isn't that enough..."

Before Lin Feng could finish his sentence, Ma Xiaotao wrapped him in a scorching flame soul power, and with a "whoosh," she spread her wings and flew toward the direction of Sea God Lake.

"Sister Xiaotao, this isn't the way to the cafeteria..."

"We're going to Sea God Lake to soak in the hot springs and eat grilled fish."

"As expected of you, Flame Maniac."

Watching the two figures disappear into the distance, the senior sister who had just moved in couldn't help but mutter under her breath.
