Qin Feng made a move.
He didn't even take his hand out of his pocket; he simply raised his right leg casually.
Kick him out.
That kick was incredibly fast.
Ordinary people simply cannot see the trajectory of his leg.
"Bang!"
A muffled thud resounded on the arena.
Before Huo Wushuang could even react to what was happening, he felt an irresistible force coming from his stomach.
The flames on his body instantly dissipated.
He was sent flying backwards like a tattered sack.
He traced a long parabola through the air.
It slammed heavily onto the ground behind the Blazing Team.
Huo Wushuang coughed up a mouthful of blood and fainted.
The entire room fell into a deathly silence.
Everyone stared wide-eyed at the illogical scene unfolding on the stage.
Captain of the Blazing Team.
Huo Wushuang Warrior, a level 42 Power Attack System Battle Soul Ancestor.
He was actually killed instantly by that young man who hadn't even unleashed his Martial Soul with a single kick?
How is that possible!
Huo Wu stared blankly at her brother lying motionless on the ground.
She turned her head and stared intently at Qin Feng.
"You..."
"What did you do to my brother?!"
Huo Wu angrily questioned.
Qin Feng retracted his right leg, his tone remaining calm.
"It's nothing, I just think he's too noisy."
"Since you're playing with fire, let me see just how hot your fire really is."
Huo Wu hearing Qin Feng's provocative words, Huo Wu's rationality was completely overwhelmed by anger.
"I'll make you pay!"
Huo Wu's third purple Spirit Ring suddenly lit up.
"Third Soul Skill, Resisting Fire Ring!"
An extremely dazzling orange-red ring of fire erupted instantly from Huo Wu's center.
This ring of fire carried extremely high temperatures and repulsive forces; wherever it passed, the arena floor was scorched black.
The ring of fire spread outwards at an extremely fast speed, forcing Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling to retreat repeatedly.
Dugu Yan tried to release poisonous mist to block it, but the repulsive force of the fire ring was too great.
The poisonous fog was completely burned away upon contact.
Huo Wu stood still, her hands raised high.
She didn't stop.
His Fourth Soul Ring lit up immediately afterward.
"Fourth Soul Skill, Fire Dance Shining Sun!"
The phantom Fire Shadow image behind Huo Wu instantly expanded, and countless fire elements converged above her head.
A giant fireball with a diameter of over one meter took shape.
The fireball emitted a dazzling light, like a miniature sun, illuminating the entire Great Soul Arena.
"Go to hell!"
Huo Wu Dancer pushed her hands forward sharply.
The enormous fireball, carrying an extremely scorching heat, hurtled straight towards Qin Feng.
The spectators in the stands gasped in surprise.
This was Huo Wu's strongest attack, its power even approaching that of Soul King- level attack.
Facing this enormous fireball coming head-on.
Qin Feng remained standing in the same spot, without taking a single step back.
He finally took his hands out of his pockets.
"You're already in such a hurry?"
Qin Feng chuckled softly.
He slowly raised his right hand.
Palms facing up.
Just as the fireball was about to engulf him...
Qin Feng clenched his fist suddenly.
There was no indication of any fluctuation in Soul Power.
There was no sign of the release of any Martial Soul.
Just like that, a hand grasped out of thin air.
"Puff!"
A soft, muffled thud was heard.
That Fire Dance Shining Sun contained extremely terrifying energy.
It felt like being gripped tightly by an invisible hand.
It suddenly stopped in mid-air.
Then, to everyone's astonishment...
The fireball collapsed from the inside, turning into countless tiny Fire Spark that dissipated into the air.
Not even a sliver of heat could be felt.
Huo Wu's eyes widened in surprise.
She was panting heavily as she looked at the scene before her.
His strongest attack, which he had unleashed at the cost of a great deal of Soul Power, was shattered so easily by his opponent?
This is not even in the same league!
What kind of monster is that?!
"Your fire is too weak."
Qin Feng looked at Huo Wu and commented indifferently.
Huo Wu gritted her teeth and clenched her fists tightly.
I'm not reconciled.
She was truly unwilling to accept it!
She was a prodigy from a young age, rarely matched by her peers.
To lose so completely in front of a complete stranger!
I don't believe it!
Huo Wu shouted.
All four of her Spirit Ring suddenly lit up at the same time.
An extremely violent fire element surged wildly within her body.
Ring Fusion Talent!
This is Huo Wu's strongest hidden trump card, capable of fusing the power of all her Spirit Ring together to unleash an attack that surpasses her own limits.
Just as Huo Wu was preparing to fight to the death.
Qin Feng's figure suddenly vanished from the spot.
Too fast.
It was so fast that even Huo Wu's eyes couldn't catch it.
The next second.
Qin Feng had already appeared in front of Huo Wu.
The distance between the two was less than half a meter.
Huo Wu was shocked and was about to back away to create some distance.
Qin Feng had already raised his hand and grabbed Huo Wu's wrist.
Qin Feng's hands were large and powerful.
A faint surge of lightning energy traveled from her fingertips, instantly spreading throughout Huo Wu's entire body.
Huo Wu felt a tingling sensation throughout her body.
The raging fire element that had just gathered within his body was instantly shattered and completely dissipated by this lightning power, as if it had encountered its natural enemy.
"Ah..."
Huo Wu let out a soft cry, her legs went weak, and she collapsed to the ground.
She stared blankly at Qin Feng standing in front of her.
Qin Feng looked down at her.
"Young lady, having a bad temper isn't a good thing."
"While the technique of Ring Fusion is powerful, if not controlled properly, it can blow you to smithereens."
Qin Feng's voice wasn't loud, but it clearly reached Huo Wu's ears.
Huo Wu sat on the ground, her head tilted back.
Qin Feng stood there against the light, the sunlight outlining his tall figure and sharply defined features.
That composed and unhurried demeanor.
That kind of absolutely powerful force.
And that indifferent look in his eyes, as if he didn't even notice her.
Huo Wu's heart skipped a beat.
She has admired strong people since she was a child.
Even her brother, Huo Wushuang, couldn't completely suppress her in terms of strength at the Blazing Academy.
Therefore, she always acted very assertively.
But today.
In front of this man named Qin Feng.
Her proud flame was ruthlessly extinguished, and she didn't even have a chance to use her strongest trump card.
The opponent didn't even unleash their Martial Soul!
This is crushing.
A complete and utter crushing defeat!
Huo Wu's initial rage miraculously subsided.
Instead, she was overwhelmed by an unprecedented shock and a thrill that she herself couldn't quite explain.
A strong man can always easily break down a woman's psychological defenses.
Especially a woman with a fiery temper and a strong admiration for the strong.
Huo Wu looked at Qin Feng, her cheeks beginning to burn uncontrollably.
This wasn't due to the heat generated from the battle, but rather to a shift in emotions.
"You..."
Huo Wu opened her mouth, but found that she couldn't even utter a harsh word.
Qin Feng released Huo Wu's wrist and turned to walk towards Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling.
Let's go.
"The game is over."
Qin Feng greeted him.
The referee then seemed to realize something was wrong.
On the Blazing Team's side, the captain was unconscious, the vice-captain was slumped on the ground, and the remaining five were already terrified by Qin Feng's unpredictable methods, not daring to move at all.
" The Heaven Dou Royal Academy Team has won this match!"
The referee announced the result loudly.
The audience in the stands erupted in thunderous cheers.
Qin Feng ignored the noise around him.
He led Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling straight off the stage.
Huo Wu remained seated on the arena floor.
She didn't go to see her brother, who had already been helped up by his teammates.
Her gaze was fixed on Qin Feng's departing figure.
That figure was tall and mysterious, exuding an arrogant air that disregarded everyone.
Huo Wu bit her lower lip.
My heart is beating faster and faster.
Qin Feng, along with Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling, had just stepped out of the contestant passage.
Outside the passage, a group of knights clad in royal armor had been waiting for some time.
The lead knight stepped forward and bowed respectfully to Qin Feng.
"Mr. Qin, His Majesty requests your presence."
Qin Feng stopped and glanced at the Heaven Dou Royal Emblem on the knight's body.
Xue Ye's information network is quite efficient; the invitation arrived at his doorstep right after the match ended.
" Teacher Qin, we'll head back to the academy now," Dugu Yan said tactfully.
Qin Feng nodded.
"You all go back and rest first, you don't need to wait for me today."
Dugu Yan pulled Ye Lingling and turned to leave.
Qin Feng followed the royal knights and boarded an extremely luxurious carriage, heading towards the Heaven Dou Imperial Palace.
Heaven Dou Imperial Palace
The main hall is resplendent in gold and jade, with four enormous dragon-carved pillars supporting an extremely high dome.
Qin Feng followed the attendant into the main hall.
In the very center of the main hall, on a pure Dragon Throne, sat an elderly man with a dignified face and gray hair.
He was none other than the ruler of the Heaven Dou Empire, Xue Ye.
What truly surprised Qin Feng was a woman sitting next to Xue Ye.
The woman wore an extremely luxurious phoenix robe and a golden hairpin.
She was extremely beautiful, with dignified and elegant features, and fair and radiant skin that showed no signs of aging.
She looked to be no more than thirty years old, exuding the elegance and grace of a mature woman.
Qin Feng was utterly shocked.
Heaven Dou Empress?
This woman actually exists, and she's so young and beautiful.
In Qin Feng's original understanding of this world, the Heaven Dou Empress was almost a completely non-existent, invisible person.
Even if it existed, considering Xue Ye's age, the empress should be an old woman with a face full of wrinkles.
But the person before me can only be described as having unparalleled beauty and elegance.
Qin Feng only glanced at it twice before looking away.
"Greetings, Your Majesty."
Qin Feng stood in the hall, slightly cupping his hands in greeting.
At his current level of cultivation, he doesn't even need to bow to the Pope of the Spirit Hall, let alone a secular emperor.
Xue Ye completely disregarded Qin Feng's manners, laughed heartily twice, and raised his hand in greeting.
" Qin Feng, there's no need for such formalities."
"Please take a seat!"
Two maids immediately brought over a fine chair and placed it on the left side of the hall.
Qin Feng didn't stand on ceremony and sat down directly.
The Xue Ye looked at Qin Feng with eyes full of admiration.
"I have already seen the message that just came back from the Great Soul Arena."
" Blazing Academy is, after all, one of the Five Elemental Academies, and Huo Wushuang is Soul Ancestor at level 42."
"You didn't even release your Martial Soul, yet you could severely injure him with a single kick."
"Such strength is something even the Golden Generation of the Spirit Hall would be far behind."
The Xue Ye did not hold back his praise.
Qin Feng replied calmly and casually:
"Your Majesty flatters me."
"The opponent was too weak; it's nothing special."
The smile on Xue Ye's face deepened.
He stroked his beard and leaned forward slightly.
" Qin Feng, you don't need to be modest."
"A prodigy like you is one of a kind in the entire Douluo Continent."
"I have summoned you here today because there is an extremely important matter I wish to discuss with you."
Qin Feng looked at Xue Ye without replying, waiting for him to continue.
Xue Ye paused, his tone becoming solemn.
"I have a daughter named Xue Ke."
"This girl has been clever and quick-witted since childhood, and she has quite a talent."
"I intend to betroth Xue Ke to you. What do you think?"
The atmosphere in the hall changed immediately after these words were spoken.
Heaven Dou Empress sat to one side, her red lips slightly parted, a rare look of surprise on her face.
She turned her head and stared intently at Xue Ye.
To marry off the royal family's most favored young princess to a young man who has only recently risen to prominence?
Even if Qin Feng is highly talented, this decision is still too hasty and impulsive.
Heaven Dou Empress thought to herself, but on the surface she did not interrupt the emperor.
At this moment.
A young man standing at the head of the right side of the main hall paused almost imperceptibly.
The young man, dressed in the robes of a crown prince, was gentle and refined; he was none other than Crown Prince Xue Qinghe.
That is, Qian Renxue.
Qian Renxue maintained a polite smile on the surface, without revealing any dissatisfaction.
But in reality, she had already cursed Xue Ye a thousand times in her heart.
This old fellow has a sharp eye; he actually wants to use marriage as a means to completely bind Qin Feng to the chariot of the Heaven Dou Empire.
Should Xue Ke be married to Qin Feng?
Dream on!
Qin Feng is the man Qian Renxue has her eye on; when did it become the Heaven Dou Royal Family's place to interfere?
Qian Renxue's gaze shifted and landed on Qin Feng, waiting to see how Qin Feng respond.
Just then...
Light footsteps sounded outside the main hall.
"Father!"
A clear and melodious sound rang out.
Immediately afterwards, a girl in a light purple dress, lifting the hem of her skirt, ran into the main hall with quick, light steps.
The girl was very pretty and cute, with a pair of big, bright eyes that revealed an innocent and naive charm.
She was Princess Xue Ke, the Xue Ye had mentioned.
Xue Ke ran to the center of the main hall and only then noticed that there were other outsiders inside.
She stopped and turned to look at Qin Feng with some curiosity.
Xue Ke blushed involuntarily after just one glance.
Qin Feng was already handsome, and after mastering the Thunder God Physique, he possessed an extremely masculine and domineering aura.
This is extremely damaging to young girls experiencing their first stirrings of love.
Xue Ke quickly lowered her head, her hands twisting together, looking very flustered.
"Ke'er, you've come at the perfect time."
Xue Ye smiled and waved.
"This is Qin Feng, the specially appointed teacher at the Heaven Dou Royal Academy whom Father Emperor just mentioned to you."
"Don't let his youth fool you, his strength is unfathomable."
Xue Ke secretly raised her eyes and glanced at Qin Feng again.
"Greetings, Teacher Qin," Xue Ke said in a voice barely audible.
Qin Feng looked at the shy little princess and couldn't help but chuckle.
