"Miss Ning Rongrong, enjoying yourself, are you?~"
A voice filled with amusement
rang out
from behind Ning Rongrong.
"Ah!?"
Ning Rongrong had just been humming a little tune
when the sudden voice startled her.
She hurriedly turned around.
The first thing she saw was Ji Feng, standing in the distance on the open ground.
At that moment,
Ji Feng had no bow or arrows in his hands.
He simply held his hands behind his back
and slowly walked toward her.
A teasing expression crossed his face.
His gaze was fixed intently on her.
Ning Rongrong's heart tightened at once.
The scene of Dai Mubai dying beneath his arrows that day flashed through her mind.
"Ji Feng!? Why are you at Shrek Academy!?"
Her expression changed.
Her face immediately tensed.
Ning Rongrong's reaction
pleased Ji Feng.
Whoosh!
Before Ning Rongrong's eyes,
Ji Feng turned into a streak of white light.
By the time she reacted,
Ji Feng was already right in front of her.
Ning Rongrong jumped in fright. "Y-you, how did you get over here!?"
Ning Rongrong's face flushed red.
She gritted her teeth.
It was clear she was on high alert around him.
Ji Feng narrowed his eyes. "Miss Ning Rongrong, don't tell me you really have a memory like a sieve? You personally promised me before: I would help you kill Dai Mubai, and in return, you'd agree to all my demands."
"What!?"
Ning Rongrong's eyes widened.
From the shock in her eyes,
it was clear that Ning Rongrong knew about this.
It was just that this young miss from the Upper Three Sects
seemed unable
to believe this outcome.
"What is it, Ning Rongrong? Don't tell me you're going back on your word?"
Ning Rongrong's face turned red. "No... you... that doesn't count! You killed our Shrek captain. Grandmaster won't let you get away with it!"
Ning Rongrong had clearly lost her composure.
Even the hand pointing at him
was trembling slightly.
"Ning Rongrong, that's not something the young miss of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect should do."
"Don't you want to know what I want you to do?"
Ji Feng narrowed his eyes
and looked over Ning Rongrong's petite figure.
Compared to Zhu Zhuqing's proud figure,
hers naturally fell short.
But her build was light and slender.
"You-you dare!"
Ning Rongrong was usually outspoken.
Feeling Ji Feng's gaze shamelessly roaming over her body,
she looked both embarrassed and furious.
She warily crossed her arms over her chest.
Her expression as she looked at Ji Feng was full of indignation.
"Ji Feng, I'll give you gold coins, then. How much do you want? Ten thousand? Or a hundred thousand!?"
Ning Rongrong hadn't taken the matter seriously.
She gritted her teeth as she spoke.
Ji Feng only shook his head.
This woman
was so childish.
It seemed her family had truly spoiled her rotten.
"Why are you shaking your head?"
"What do you mean by that?"
"I gave my word, and I'll honor it."
"You can leave now!"
Ning Rongrong spoke with righteous conviction.
She didn't want to see Ji Feng.
He'd killed that bastard Dai Mubai right under a Titled Douluo's nose.
She couldn't help thinking of him as dangerous.
"Gold coins? A hundred thousand gold coins to buy the life of a prince of the Star Luo Imperial Family? That's far too easy, isn't it?"
A smile tugged at Ji Feng's lips.
Ning Rongrong was far too simple-minded.
"Then what do you want!? A hundred thousand gold coins is already a lot!"
Ning Rongrong bit her lip
and stared at Ji Feng.
Ji Feng said, "Heh. You said you'd agree to any condition. I don't want gold coins."
"You! Fine, what condition?"
"I want you to become my subordinate and serve as my support."
"Wherever I go, you go too."
Ji Feng spoke.
"What!?" Ning Rongrong's eyes widened.
Then she continued, "I'm the young miss of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. You want me to be your subordinate!? Dream on!"
With that,
she stormed away in a huff.
"Hmph, trying to run?"
Watching Ning Rongrong leave,
Ji Feng made no move to chase her.
A simple-minded woman like Ning Rongrong
would end up in my hands sooner or later!
Ji Feng bared his teeth in a smile.
After leaving Shrek Academy,
Ji Feng headed toward the center of the imperial city,
Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Now that he had reached the cultivation level of a Soul Saint at level 75,
he was basically
invincible among those his age.
In the Heaven Dou Empire,
he could practically walk wherever he pleased.
He could even stand his ground against the Soul Power of many teachers his age.
And with his incredibly powerful Soul Skills,
fighting opponents above his level was entirely possible.
Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Imperial Fighting Team.
At the academy gates,
Ye Lingling appeared.
She had arrived in the imperial city long ago
and had been waiting for Ji Feng to show up.
As soon as Ji Feng appeared,
she immediately got up and walked toward him.
"You're here?"
Ye Lingling's voice was cold.
But the light in her eyes
showed that she was still very excited.
"Let's go."
"Mm!"
Ye Lingling led Ji Feng back into Heaven Dou Royal Academy.
Back in Suotuo City,
Ji Feng had crossed paths with
several members of this team.
They'd even had quite a serious falling-out.
"Are you really going?"
Ye Lingling couldn't help asking.
Ji Feng paused for a moment.
The corners of his mouth lifted. "Let's go."
Ye Lingling hesitated briefly,
then continued following behind Ji Feng.
Imperial Fighting Team.
The academy was divided into several campuses.
There was a teaching area,
a training area,
and an area for simulated combat.
"Lingling, you're back?"
Teacher Qin Ming had arrived.
He looked at Ye Lingling.
It had been a long time since they'd seen each other.
Previously, she'd left with Ji Feng without saying goodbye.
"Hello, Teacher Qin Ming."
As for Qin Ming,
Ji Feng had no particular opinion of him.
He greeted him calmly.
Qin Ming looked at Ji Feng.
Now that he was seeing Ji Feng again,
his expression was rather complicated.
When Ji Feng had left back then,
he'd seemed to be only at level 40?
How had he changed so much by the time they met again?
I couldn't see his level!?
"Ji Feng, what level are you now?"
Qin Ming asked tentatively.
Ji Feng's lips curled up. "Teacher Qin Ming, I'm a Level 75 Battle Soul Saint now."
He didn't hide it.
"What!?"
"Level 75?"
A Battle Soul Saint at fifteen.
What did that even mean?
Qin Ming considered himself well-traveled and knowledgeable.
But...
He had never heard of a genius like Ji Feng.
Ji Feng asked, "The team members should have grown a lot in the few days since I last saw them, right?"
Qin Ming was taken aback.
"I'm afraid there's no comparison between them and you." Qin Ming shook his head with a bitter smile.
He wanted to say something.
A sense of helplessness rose in his heart.
Back then,
Qin Ming had tried to recruit Ji Feng for the team.
Unfortunately, that fellow Yu Tianheng
couldn't tolerate the youngster.
That was how things had ended up like this.
"Ji Feng, did you come to our academy this time because..."
Ji Feng hadn't answered yet.
Qin Ming hadn't even finished his sentence.
The next moment,
a voice rang out.
There was a chill in its tone. "Ji Feng, you again!?"
Before you continue
