A Confrontation with Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao

A Confrontation with Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao

Su Qingfeng passed through the freshman teaching building and arrived in front of the white dormitory building.

Seeing the old man leisurely sunbathing in a chair, he finally understood why Du Weilun had assigned him Room 109.

Because that room was right next to the old man!

And that old man was Su Qingfeng's teacher, Mu En!

No wonder his senior brother, Yan Shaozhe, had repeatedly assured him that nothing major would happen even if he studied in the Outer Court.

So Mu En had never left at all. He had been watching over him the entire time!

"Old man, you're really being unfair. You were the one who decided to send me to the Outer Court as a Specially Selected Student too, weren't you?"

Su Qingfeng was rather speechless.

"Hehe, it's good for you. Besides, those Esteemed Elders from the Sea God Pavilion are eyeing you like tigers. What if they find you and lure you away? Wouldn't this old man cry himself to death?"

"Besides, coming to the Outer Court is good for you too. Most of the children here are only at Rank Twenty or Thirty, not much higher than your Soul Power. Taking part in the New Student Assessment matches can also test your strength. What's not to like?"

"Don't worry. Your teacher will always protect you."

Creak~ Creak~

After saying that, Mu En closed his eyes and gently rocked in his chair, basking in the sunlight.

Su Qingfeng pushed open the door to his dormitory. Sure enough, everything had already been arranged inside, including a private shower, a private bathroom, a spring mattress, bedding, and the like.

Su Qingfeng sat cross-legged on the bed as Soul Power began circulating around his body.

The Esteemed Elders had been right during the Sea God Pavilion Meeting. Cultivating Extreme attributes truly was very slow.

That was because they needed to compress the Soul Power they cultivated until it was far purer than that of ordinary soul masters. That was no easy task.

As Su Qingfeng cultivated, the surrounding Water Element and Ice Element were instantly stirred up, and ice chunks and snowflakes began appearing in the room.

Before long, a layer of frost covered the walls, and the temperature within several dozen meters dropped by several degrees.

Mu En half-opened his eyes, glanced at Su Qingfeng's room, and nodded in satisfaction.

"He's quite diligent. It's not scary when others have greater talent than you; what's scary is when those with greater talent work even harder than you."

"Keep it up. I hope you can create a miracle. I have a vague feeling that perhaps you will restore the glory of ten thousand years ago and reach the same heights as the first generation of the Shrek Seven Devils."

That was—the level of a god!

By evening, the freshmen were gradually dismissed from class. Most had gone through the day's final physical training, eaten dinner, and dragged their exhausted bodies back to the dormitories.

Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao returned as well. The moment they entered the dormitory, both collapsed onto their beds and let out deep breaths.

"It's all that Specially Selected Student's fault. He insulted that old witch and made us suffer, while he just got to leave. How hateful! Don't think you're so great just because you wear a mask and have a bit of presence. If I see him again, I'll definitely teach him a lesson. I'll even rip that mask right off his face."

Wang Dong spoke viciously.

Huo Yuhao was even more exhausted than Wang Dong. He was around Su Qingfeng's age, but his rank was even lower! His physical condition was rather average as well.

However, Huo Yuhao was a nice guy who disliked offending people, so he tried to persuade her. "Wang Dong, don't be impulsive. That Specially Selected Student might be very powerful. Everyone is saying he might be an upperclassman, perhaps even someone demoted from the Inner Court. Even Teacher Zhou Yi doesn't dare do anything to him. We shouldn't provoke him."

"Hmph, coward. I'm not afraid of him."

Wang Dong shot Huo Yuhao a disdainful look. It was just background, after all. It wasn't as if she didn't have any.

However, just as they lay down to rest, they seemed to hear a crack.

A chill soon surged toward them, and they abruptly opened their eyes.

They discovered that a layer of ice had formed on one of the walls!

Before long, those ice crystals seemed to grow, spreading across the entire wall and creeping toward their bedding.

The temperature in the entire room suddenly dropped to zero degrees!

Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong stared at each other, both dumbfounded.

"What's going on?"

"Did winter come?"

"Or is there something wrong with the academy's building?"

"Huo Yuhao, did you feel that?"

Huo Yuhao reached out a hand and nearly had it frozen over. "What?"

"This power seems to be coming from next door!" Wang Dong said, narrowing her eyes.

"You mean an Ice Attribute soul master lives next door? But isn't that too ridiculous? Even if someone released an Ice Attribute Soul Skill, it would be hard for it to pass through the wall, wouldn't it?"

Huo Yuhao scratched his head, finding it hard to believe.

"You fool, you've seen so little. If someone's affinity with the power of water and ice elements is high enough, they can sense the power of Ice Element through a wall and gather it together."

Wang Dong said irritably.

Light shone from Huo Yuhao's eyes as the detection ability of his Spirit Eye Soul Skill unfolded, allowing him to sense some of the situation in the neighboring dormitory. When he came back to himself, he said blankly, "There really is someone cultivating next door."

"Come on, let's go teach him a lesson!"

Without another word, Wang Dong immediately got to her feet, cracking her knuckles. "Perfect. I've got nowhere to vent all the frustration from today's special training!"

"Isn't this a bad idea? We shouldn't go looking for trouble. I still have to sell Grilled Fish tonight."

"What are you afraid of? Did you forget what the homeroom teacher said? Those who don't dare cause trouble are mediocrities. Besides, the people next door provoked us first!"

As she spoke, Wang Dong had already shoved open the dorm door and charged over, kicking open Dorm 109's door.

Wang Dong and Huo Yuhao lived in Dorm 108, separated from Dorm 109 by only a single wall.

Huo Yuhao hurriedly followed after her.

When they saw the person in Dorm 109, both Huo Yuhao and Wang Dong froze.

"It's you, that Specially Selected Student!"

"You disappeared for the whole afternoon. So you were hiding in your dorm cultivating. Do you even realize what you've done?"

Wang Dong said angrily, "You're always acting all mysterious. You're alone in your dorm and still wearing a mask? I'd like to see just who you really are."

While Huo Yuhao was marveling at how luxurious Dorm 109 was—with its complete, high-quality beds, bedding, and daily necessities—and feeling a little envious, Wang Dong had already thrust out her palm and rushed toward Su Qingfeng.

Su Qingfeng abruptly opened his eyes and raised his own hand. Carrying a burst of Ice Element power, his palm collided with Wang Dong's hand, which she had instantly changed into a fist in reaction.

In an instant, Su Qingfeng's body was knocked back against the wall.

At the same time, Wang Dong's fist froze. With a flick of Su Qingfeng's finger, the frost spread outward from her frozen fist, freezing her entire body.

This crazy woman didn't inherit Tang San's scheming nature, but she did inherit Xiao Wu's fierceness.

Su Qingfeng felt a dull ache in his arm from that blow.

Outside, Mu En lay in a reclining chair, revealing a gratified smile as he muttered, "Not bad, not bad. Although his Soul Power Level is still low, his control over the Ice Element is already quite good."

"Wang Dong! Wang Dong, what's wrong with you?!"

When Huo Yuhao saw that Wang Dong's entire body had been frozen, he was utterly stunned.

He could only use his hands to pry at the ice covering her body.

Just then, the layer of ice around Wang Dong reacted and began to crack. Brilliant light radiated from her body, and a pair of beautiful wings appeared.
