Teaching Feng Qing'er a Lesson, Seizing the Sea Heart Flame

Only after arriving in this world did Tang Chen learn that people here did not know that "Dad" meant father, so he used this false name to fool Feng Qing'er.

At the time, Feng Qing'er had even mocked it as a truly lowly name, then kept calling out, "Dad, Dad."

"What? Want another taste of being trampled beneath my feet?"

Tang Chen looked at Feng Qing'er before him with a hint of disdain.

His memories returned to several years ago.

Tang Chen had gone out to gain experience, and his destination had been clear. His first stop was the Wind Thunder Mountain Range, where lightning elements were abundant.

Not only were lightning elements plentiful there, but many lightning-attributed magical beasts lived there as well, making it the perfect place for Tang Chen to cultivate.

However, this was Wind Thunder Pavilion territory. Not long after arriving, he encountered Feng Qing'er, who was cultivating there as well.

At first, Tang Chen had not intended to cause trouble, but Feng Qing'er was simply too arrogant. It was truly difficult not to teach her a lesson.

So Tang Chen beat her up. Of everything about this woman, her mouth was the toughest. Even when Tang Chen stepped on her, she still refused to yield.

"Dad, I'll kill you!"

Tang Chen's words made Feng Qing'er recall the humiliation she had suffered before. It had been the darkest moment of her life.

From that day onward, Feng Qing'er cultivated like mad, swearing to trample Tang Chen beneath her feet and return every bit of humiliation she had endured.

Now, the opportunity had finally come.

Feng Qing'er's battle qi surged, and a pair of wind-and-lightning wings emerged behind her as she soared into the air.

Countless ribbons formed from golden lightning emerged around her and rushed toward Tang Chen, instantly trapping him within. Winds howled, and thunder shook the heavens.

"Wind Killing Finger!"

Feng Qing'er did not hesitate. She immediately used her strongest move. Her right hand formed the shape of a slingshot as powerful lightning gathered in her palm. When she pulled her left hand back to its limit, she fired a massive bolt of lightning at Tang Chen.

"Playing with lightning in front of me? You overestimate yourself!"

Tang Chen stood where he was without any unnecessary movement. With a stomp of his right foot, a powerful aura directly shattered the wind-and-lightning prison Feng Qing'er had woven.

The Wind Killing Finger followed close behind. Tang Chen merely reached out with one hand, and the purple lightning was caught in his grasp.

He brought it to his nose and inhaled, drawing the lightning directly into his body. "Mm~ Tingly and numb. It tastes quite good."

"How is that possible?!" Feng Qing'er was utterly shocked. Her powerful battle technique had been effortlessly neutralized by Tang Chen.

"Nothing is impossible. Get down here!"

Tang Chen could not be bothered to waste time with her. He directly released the pressure of a Dou Zong, suppressing Feng Qing'er from the air onto the ground.

Feng Qing'er knelt facedown on the ground. Her knees, wrapped in white stockings, slammed into the earth hard enough to crack it, and her knees were reddened from the impact.

"A Dou Zong! Impossible!"

She ignored the pain in her body and instead felt the power of space pressing down upon her. She was on the verge of collapse.

"Do you submit?" Tang Chen walked over, crouched down, and patted her face as he asked.

"Pah! I don't!" Feng Qing'er was still defiant, but she had lost much of her confidence.

"You have no choice but to submit. You are only fit to be trampled beneath my feet for the rest of your life." Tang Chen stepped on Feng Qing'er's head and ground it back and forth.

"Dad! I'll kill you! I'll definitely kill you!" Humiliated once again, Feng Qing'er clenched her teeth until they creaked. Her eyes fixed on Tang Chen, filled with hatred.

If Tang Chen put his hand in front of her, she would bite off his flesh without hesitation.

"Get lost! Dad truly doesn't have time to play with you today."

Tang Chen had humiliated her enough. He kicked Feng Qing'er flying, dusted off his hands, and headed toward the city.

After paying the fee, Tang Chen boarded a flying vessel, passed through a wormhole, and arrived on the Northwest Continent.

Black-Corner Region, Tianqing Mountain Range, Tianya City.

After traveling aboard the flying vessel for some time, Tang Chen finally reached his destination.

The moment he emerged from the wormhole, his view suddenly opened up.

Because Tianya City was the only city within a thousand miles that could lead to the Central Plains, it was also the most prosperous place in the surrounding area.

People here wore all sorts of clothing, while countless fresh and novel goods were hawked from stalls throughout the city.

After resting for a while, Tang Chen went to the nearest place selling maps and bought one covering the entire Northwest Continent.

Once he learned the precise locations of the various cities, Tang Chen directly used spatial teleportation to continue his journey.

A Dou Zong could travel very quickly. Before long, Tang Chen arrived at Feng City in the Black-Corner Region.

His purpose for coming here was simple: kill Han Feng and seize the Sea Heart Flame.

Han Feng's soul could also be exchanged with Yao Lao for a few things. It was a deal with guaranteed profit.

Tang Chen did not delay. Before long, he reached the center of Feng City, where there was a bamboo forest completely unlike the markets outside.

Within the bamboo forest stood a bamboo pavilion. Its lush green color resembled jade, and a faint bamboo fragrance lingered in the air.

Inside a bamboo room within the pavilion, a middle-aged man sat cross-legged. He wore an alchemist's robe and carefully studied a pill formula in his hands.

This middle-aged man was Han Feng, the Medicine Emperor of the Black-Corner Region.

Han Feng had spent many years in the Black-Corner Region, constantly sensing the location of the Heavenly Flame within Jia Nan Academy.

Just as Han Feng was considering how to obtain this Heavenly Flame,

a dragon's roar shattered the tranquility of the small courtyard.

"Not good!"

He abruptly turned his head, only to see nine silver fire dragons radiating terrifying auras charging straight at him. The fire dragons were not only wreathed in flames, but also carried the might of lightning.

Everything happened too quickly. He frantically activated the Sea Heart Flame, and flames burst from his body to form a blue flame barrier around him.

If Tang Chen did not attack, that was one thing; once he did, it was a killing blow. The powerful silver fire dragons opened their jaws and shattered Han Feng's defense in a single bite.

The nine fire dragons directly tore apart his body and slaughtered him amid flames. A sea of fire instantly swallowed Han Feng whole, reducing his fleshly body to ashes in moments.

With his body destroyed, his soul fled from the flames and desperately tried to escape beyond the bamboo forest.

"Trying to run?" Tang Chen reached out and grabbed through the air. Not only did Han Feng's soul fail to escape, it was instead dragged back and caught in Tang Chen's hand in an instant.

Tang Chen gripped Han Feng's soul by the neck as the Nine Dragons Lightning Flame ignited in his hand, directly covering Han Feng's entire soul.

"Aaaahhh!"

His soul was scorched by the flames, making him release heart-rending screams.

The Nine Dragons Lightning Flame inflicted even more terrifying damage upon souls than flesh. In merely one or two seconds, Han Feng's soul had been burned to a battered wreck, with less than a tenth of its soul power remaining.

"My lord, spare... spare me! I... I can give you anything!" Han Feng begged.

"Hand over the Sea Heart Flame, and I'll spare you," Tang Chen said indifferently.

However, Han Feng hesitated somewhat, worried that if he handed over the Sea Heart Flame, Tang Chen would immediately kill him to silence him.

"Quickly!" Tang Chen gave him no time to hesitate and directly intensified the flames in his hand.

"Ahhh! I'll give it to you! I'll give it to you!" Han Feng felt that his soul was about to scatter completely. He did not dare delay any longer. He immediately summoned the Sea Heart Flame, erased the soul mark within it, and handed it over to Tang Chen.
