Ten levels in ten days!

Is it possible?

Absolutely impossible!

Yu Tianheng considers himself a genius.

To rise from level 15 to level 25.

It took him over a year.

Yet, the Ji Feng before his eyes.

Even when absorbing a soul ring.

He required their assistance.

How could he possibly possess such talent?

Coupled with the fact that he himself had reached level 39 at such a young age.

Therefore.

Regarding Ji Feng, with old grudges and new grievances combined.

He had never been convinced!

"Alright."

"Ji Feng, did you hide your soul power previously?"

Qin Ming inquired.

To this.

Ji Feng looked at everyone.

Before he could speak.

Qin Ming assumed he was unwilling to say.

He continued: "Let us head back first. In half a month, we are going to the Suotuo Great Soul Arena to test our practical combat abilities, so during this time, we can practice our team coordination and synergy."

This soul beast hunt, because of this abnormal phenomenon involving Ji Feng.

And because of Qin Ming, came to an end.

Afterward.

South of Suotuo City.

The Imperial Fighting Team's encampment.

In the backyard.

"Teacher."

"Teacher Qin Ming."

Qin Ming arrived.

Seeing that Ji Feng was nowhere to be found at the scene.

He asked: "Where is Ji Feng?"

"Him? Perhaps he is too weak and feels embarrassed, as he hasn't been present for several training sessions."

Yu Tianheng, standing to the side, sneered.

Then he cupped his fists, speaking with a serious expression.

Qin Ming frowned: "Is that so?"

He still found it hard to believe.

After all, he knew that this child, Yu Tianheng, had quite a significant conflict with that fellow, Ji Feng.

Ji Feng had indeed been very busy these past few days.

But not with leveling up.

Instead, he was mining.

"Open system panel."

Back mountain.

Suotuo City noble.

Count Zuoshan's private mine.

Name: Ji Feng

Martial Soul: Hou Yi

Soul Power: Level 30 Soul Grand Master (0/47000)

Sneaking into this private mine.

It has been a few days already.

Although it wasn't intentional farming.

But harvesting Soul Beasts along the way.

Has caused the experience bar to skyrocket all the way to level 30.

"I'm only one third Soul Ring away from becoming a Soul Elder."

[Ding]

[Mining successful!]

[You have obtained Primary Iron Ore*1]

[Mining successful!]

[You have obtained Primary Black Iron*5]

System panels popped up frantically.

Ji Feng is currently just a farming player.

With nothing to do all day, the moment he opens his eyes.

He sneaks off to the back mountain to dig for iron.

As the private garden of a Count in the Balaque Kingdom.

The guards are very strict.

But for Ji Feng.

It is just a matter of convenience to sneak into the mine.

His current mining level is still at the primary stage.

He can only mine primary ores.

"Level 1 mining can only dig up common iron, which is enough for me to grind my forging proficiency."

"However, I am still far from being able to forge the god-tier equipment from Honor of Kings."

"At the very least, I need to be able to mine deep-sea ores and god-tier ores."

Ji Feng calculated in his mind.

"I heard that Shrek Academy is holding admissions today, let's go, hurry over and take a look."

"Shrek Academy?"

"That's the academy that only recruits monsters."

Ji Feng heard passersby discussing it on the side of the road.

He immediately pricked up his ears.

A strange expression appeared on his face: "Shrek Academy? It seems Tang San is arriving soon too?"

Thinking of this.

His heart skipped a beat.

He didn't linger.

He went straight to the mine wearing his cloak.

And snuck in to continue stealing ore.

In the uninhabited area of the back mountain.

The sound of a pickaxe striking ore rang out.

But unlike ordinary people mining.

No matter what kind of ore it is.

As long as he discovers it.

Ji Feng only needs the system to count down.

Three seconds later, the mining is successful.

He hasn't lost a single bit of stamina.

[Mining successful!]

[Mining successful!]

Following the system prompts.

Ji Feng's mining level also increased accordingly.

Southwest of the city suburbs.

Shrek Academy.

Today is the first day after the academy concluded its final round of admissions.

Several of this year's new members.

Under the leadership of Yu Xiaogang.

Began to run.

Spirit Master training.

Using running as a method.

Under the heavens, only Gangzi could come up with such an idea.

"Third Brother, look over there..."

Suddenly.

Ma Hongjun, with his sharp eyesight.

Pointed toward the depths of the plains.

In a certain direction.

Tang San was stunned.

He halted his pace.

"Purple Demon Eye."

His gaze flashed.

He recognized that person at a single glance.

"Ji Feng!"

"It's him!"

At the mention of Ji Feng.

He gritted his teeth in hatred: "You wretch Ji Feng, to think I would run into you here."

"You didn't expect this, did you? You snatched my Datura Snake, but I still successfully absorbed a Datura Snake spirit ring afterward!"

Thinking of this.

His eyes were practically spitting fire.

Hatred flickered within them.

"Third Brother? What are you doing?"

Ma Hongjun turned back.

Seeing Tang San standing still.

He wore a look of confusion.

Tang San shook his head: "You carry it for me."

"Damn, Third Brother, it's so heavy, I can't carry that!"

Ma Hongjun's vision went black.

Tang San didn't even spare him a glance.

"Hmph."

Following the perception of his Purple Demon Eye.

He tracked the path and found Ji Feng, who was stealing ore in the mine.

"You wretch Ji Feng, to think you would trespass into the Count's mine to do such a thing!"

"Fine, since you provoked me, this time I'll let you know how formidable I am!"

He seemed to have devised a scheme in his mind.

He sneered repeatedly.

The next second.

Creak.

He stepped on something.

A noise rang out.

As the possessor of the Hou Yi Martial Soul.

Ji Feng had keen perception.

He discovered Tang San immediately.

Ji Feng's eyes narrowed: "Tang San!"

Tang San was startled.

Prepare to manifest your Martial Soul.

Because the two had crossed paths before.

Ji Feng's methods had left quite a few shadows in his mind.

"Hmph, I am a level 30 Soul Elder now! You may not necessarily be my match today!"

However, just as Tang San prepared to fight Ji Feng.

Ji Feng himself had no great interest in it.

He merely glanced at Tang San.

Then, carrying his pickaxe, he bypassed him and headed into the mine via a side path.

Leaving Tang San behind in a state of combat readiness.

He was furious with shame.

"Ji Feng! You refuse to fight me?"

"Very well, that saves me the trouble of making a move!"

He was a level 30 Soul Elder now.

He believed that Ji Feng's current strength.

Was far inferior to his own.

Thinking of this.

The disdain he felt for Ji Feng in his heart.

Grew increasingly intense.

The next day.

Early morning.

Ji Feng woke up at the Imperial Fighting Team quarters.

Today, he did not plan to go mining.

Instead, he intended to practice combat positioning with the people from the academy.

However, the moment he stepped out of the hotel.

He realized something was wrong.

Outside the hotel.

It was packed with soldiers.

Inside the lobby.

The members of the Imperial Fighting Team, led by Yu Tianheng.

Were looking at him with cold, sneering expressions.

"What's the matter? Are you not training today?"

Ji Feng was still completely baffled.

He assumed Yu Tianheng was looking for trouble with him again.

"Training? We are going to train, but before that, I must act on behalf of Teacher Qin Ming to purge the ranks!"

Ji Feng had guessed correctly.

However, it was not as simple as he had thought.

Yu Tianheng sneered.

He pointed a finger at him: "Ji Feng, you have some nerve, coming and going from the Count's private mine as you please! Tell me, do you still deserve to remain in the Imperial Fighting Team!?"
