Ultimate Fire--Crimson Eyes

"Chu Feng, who was that guy?"

Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao hurried over, asking with concern.

"Don't know, seems his name is Sucker." Chu Feng packed up his tableware and said casually.

Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong were both left speechless, and soon the three returned to their respective dorms to cultivate.

However, because many students had been watching the spectacle, the battle between Chu Feng and Xu Sanshi spread instantly throughout the entire Shrek Outer Court.

Although the academy had regulations that senior students could not challenge junior students, junior students were free to challenge senior students at any time.

There was no rule stating they had to accept, but senior students naturally cared about their reputation and could never refuse a challenge from a junior.

Back in his dorm, Chu Feng entered a state of cultivation.

The harvest this time was bountiful, though it would certainly be impossible to digest it all in a short time.

Wang Dong happened to be out, likely off washing his clothes...

Chu Feng took a crimson crystal directly from the system space; it was the "Ultimate Fire Core".

"Fuse!"

Chu Feng muttered to himself.

The next moment, with a "crack," the Ultimate Fire Core in his hand shattered, transforming into a stream of extreme heat that surged into Chu Feng's body.

"Hiss--"

"Such intense fire energy!!"

Feeling the terrifying heat radiating within him, countless fine beads of sweat instantly appeared on Chu Feng's forehead.

He hurriedly circulated the Mystic Ice Art, continuously converting his soul power into icy energy to suppress the heat of the Ultimate Fire.

If the Mystic Ice Art were cultivated to the supreme realm, Chu Feng was certain he could condense Ultimate Ice, but his current progress was less than one-tenth; the cold energy he could manifest could only barely weaken the burning of the Ultimate Fire, forcing him to endure it head-on.

Fortunately, this was a system reward and was extremely safe, and coupled with the suppression from his powerful physique, he could hold on despite the pain.

Due to the existence of the "Fiery Golden Eyes," all the heat was quickly absorbed into his eyes, subsequently turning calm...

Half an hour later, Chu Feng slowly opened his eyes.

At this moment, his eyes had turned completely crimson. If one looked closely, they could even see lava-like substances flowing through them, emitting wisps of firelight and forming layers of light patterns that looked incredibly cool.

"The brand new Ultimate Fire Martial Soul is finally complete!"

Chu Feng felt his eyes, which were now completely independent of his body, and a look of joy appeared on his sweat-drenched face.

After the fusion, his eyes had become a separate Martial Soul, capable of attaching soul rings and releasing soul skills.

Counting his Body Martial Soul, he could now be considered a true user of Twin Martial Souls.

However, both Martial Souls were body-based. One was his own body, which had no specific attributes, so he could pick soul rings however he pleased—since the age of soul rings could be increased later, there were no useless soul skills as long as the age was high enough.

The other was his eyes, which had the fire attribute—the Ultimate Fire—so he would prioritize fire-attribute soul rings in the future.

Chu Feng slowly retracted his Martial Soul, and his eyes returned to their normal color, though if one looked closely, a faint, translucent firelight could still be seen dancing within his black pupils.

"I'll call the new Martial Soul 'Crimson Eyes'."

Chu Feng pondered for a moment and gave his Martial Soul a very low-key name.

"Click--"

At that moment, the door suddenly opened.

"Gah?"

"Hahahaha--"

"Chu Feng! Did you fall into the academy pond? How did you become such a drowned rat? Hahahaha--"

Wang Dong had returned from washing the clothes and burst into laughter upon seeing Chu Feng, who was completely soaked in sweat.

Chu Feng's face darkened; he instantly condensed an Ice Whip and 'smacked' it onto Wang Dong's butt.

"Ow-- what are you doing--" Wang Dong cried out in pain, hurriedly covering his butt while glaring at Chu Feng indignantly. A clear blush appeared on his face; although it didn't hurt much, no one would feel good after being spanked, especially since he was...

"Less talk, go get some hot water outside, I need to bathe," Chu Feng said flatly.

"Fine, I'll go, but why did you hit me..." Wang Dong pouted and muttered, his eyes full of resentment, but he still obediently went to fetch hot water for Chu Feng.

Truly, joy had turned to sorrow.

"Quick, quick, quick, to the Soul Fighting Arena!"

"What happened? Did some big shot arrange a fight?"

"What big shot? A first-year freshman is challenging Xu Sanshi!!"

"What, a first-year! Are they crazy!"

"You don't know? That freshman is named Chu Feng. He's quite strong. Rumor has it he injured two people in the dorms before school even started. He's fierce."

"No way, that's a clear violation of school rules. If he isn't expelled for that, how powerful must his background be? Could he be the Dean's own son?"

"Screw you, stop spouting nonsense..."

The two had agreed to meet at eight in the evening, a time when most students finished their training and chose to head out to relax, making it the period when the academy had the most free personnel.

On top of that, since the semester had just begun, many students were idle. When they suddenly heard that a freshman was challenging an upperclassman, they naturally flocked to the scene.

By 7:00, the Soul Fighting Arena was already packed.

With ten minutes left until the fight, Chu Feng hurried over, only to find the Soul Fighting Arena full. A large crowd of latecomers had gathered outside, grumbling and cursing, with some even using soul skills to climb up to the arena windows to catch the show.

Holy crap, no way, it's this lively???

Seeing such a spectacular scene, Chu Feng was somewhat shocked.

He had guessed that his stunt might attract quite a few onlookers, but he hadn't expected it to be this crowded. It was truly insane.

He had been prepared to insta-kill Xu Sanshi, but with so many people watching, he wondered if he should consider giving Xu Sanshi some face and at least let him use a soul skill...

"Kid, the Soul Fighting Arena is full. Go back."

Upon arriving at the entrance of the Soul Fighting Arena, Chu Feng was blocked by an old man.

"Grandpa, can't you make an exception?"

Chu Feng blinked, smiling as he asked.

"You're very polite, but rules are rules," the old man said indifferently.

"Grandpa, I really have to get in, otherwise this duel won't be able to happen..."

Chu Feng looked at the other party with a wry smile, feeling helpless.

"Hey, you kid really are stubborn!"

"Who do you think you are? You think if you don't go in, those two won't fight?"

The old man was amused to the point of laughter; this kid was too young and couldn't even come up with a decent excuse.

"I am the challenger..."

Chu Feng's mouth twitched as he took out his Freshman Badge.

The old man froze, looking at Chu Feng's Freshman Badge, which clearly bore the name "Chu Feng."

If he remembered correctly, the freshman who challenged Xu Sanshi seemed to be...

Their eyes met.

"..."

"..."

Chu Feng successfully entered the Soul Fighting Arena. The noisy clamor flooded his ears, and because there were only five minutes left until the start of the duel, many people were already growing impatient.

"What's going on? Why hasn't that freshman shown up yet? Is he scared?"

"He must be scared. He's actually standing Xu Sanshi up~"

"Heh, but if he really breaks the agreement, that kid is going to become the laughingstock of the whole school."

"Damn it, I've been waiting here for over two hours. If that kid doesn't show up, I'm going to beat him every time I see him!"

The crowd began to grumble and curse.

If Chu Feng didn't show up, they would have truly wasted their time.
