Ultimate Fire-Crimson Eyes

"Chu Feng, who was that guy?"

Just then, Wang Dong and Xiao Xiao hurried over and asked with concern.

"I don't know. I think his name was Sucker." Chu Feng packed up the dishes and answered casually.

Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong were both speechless. Before long, the three of them returned to their respective dormitories to cultivate.

However, since plenty of students had watched the show, the battle between Chu Feng and Xu Sanshi spread across the entire Shrek Outer Court in an instant.

Although the academy had a rule forbidding upperclassmen from challenging underclassmen, underclassmen could challenge upperclassmen whenever they wanted.

There was no rule saying they had to accept, but upperclassmen naturally cared about saving face. There was no way they would turn down a challenge from an underclassman.

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

He had gained quite a lot this time, but there was no way he could absorb it all in a short time.

Wang Dong wasn't around. She had probably gone out to wash his clothes...

Chu Feng took a crimson crystal from his system space. It was none other than the Ultimate Fire Core.

"Fuse!"

Chu Feng murmured to himself.

The next moment, there was a sharp crack. The Ultimate Fire Core in his hand shattered, transforming into an intensely hot current that surged into Chu Feng's body.

"Hiss—"

"Such powerful fire energy!"

Feeling the terrifying heat coursing through his body, Chu Feng's forehead instantly broke out in countless beads of sweat.

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

If he cultivated the Mystic Ice Art to its highest realm, Chu Feng was certain he could condense Ultimate Ice. But he hadn't even completed a tenth of his cultivation yet, and the cold energy he could produce was only enough to slightly lessen the burning of the Ultimate Fire. He could only grit his teeth and endure it.

Fortunately, this was a system reward, so it was extremely safe. Combined with the suppression of his powerful physique, it was painful, but he could still hold on.

Thanks to the Fiery Golden Eyes, all the hot currents were soon absorbed into his eyes, then faded away...

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

At that moment, his eyes had turned completely crimson. Looking closely, one could even see something like molten rock flowing through them, flickering with wisps of flame and forming layers of luminous patterns. It looked incredibly cool.

"My brand-new Ultimate Fire Martial Soul is finally complete!"

Feeling his eyes, which were now entirely separate from his body, Chu Feng smiled with delight, his face still drenched in sweat.

After the fusion, his eyes had become an independent Martial Soul that could also receive Soul Rings and unleash Soul Skills.

Counting his Body Martial Soul, he now truly had Twin Martial Souls.

However, both Martial Souls were Body Martial Souls. One was his body, which had no particular attribute, so he could pick any Soul Rings he wanted. Their age could be increased later anyway. As long as a Soul Ring was old enough, no Soul Skill was useless.

The other was his eyes, which had the fire attribute—Ultimate Fire. In the future, he would mainly seek out fire-attribute Soul Rings for them.

Chu Feng slowly withdrew his Martial Soul, and his eyes returned to their normal color. But on closer inspection, a faint, translucent flame still flickered within his black pupils.

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

Chu Feng thought it over and gave his Martial Soul an extremely low-key name.

Click—

Just then, the dorm room door suddenly opened.

"Huh?"

"Hahahahaha!"

"Chu Feng! Did you fall into the academy pond? How'd you get soaked like a drowned rat? Hahaha!"

Wang Dong had just finished washing the clothes. When she saw Chu Feng completely drenched in sweat, she burst out laughing.

Chu Feng's face darkened. He condensed an Ice Whip and smacked Wang Dong on the butt with a sharp crack.

"Ow—what are you doing?" Wang Dong cried out in pain. She hurriedly covered her butt and glared at Chu Feng angrily, her face turning bright red. It didn't hurt that much, but anyone would be unhappy about getting spanked, especially since she was...

"Cut the nonsense. Go get me some hot water. I'm taking a bath," Chu Feng said coolly.

"Just take a bath, then. Why'd you hit me..." Wang Dong pouted and muttered, her eyes full of grievance, but she still obediently went to get hot water for Chu Feng.

That was what you got for laughing too soon.

"Quick, quick! Let's go to the Soul Fighting Arena!"

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

"What big shots? A first-year student challenged Xu Sanshi!"

"What? A first-year? Has he lost his mind?"

"You don't know? The first-year is called Chu Feng. He's pretty strong. I heard he injured two people in the dorm before classes even started. He's a real handful."

"No way. That clearly breaks the school rules. How did he not get expelled? How powerful is his background? Is he the dean's son or something?"

"Fuck off. Quit making shit up..."

The two had scheduled their match for eight that evening. Most students stopped training around then and went out to relax, so the academy was at its busiest.

On top of that, it was right after the start of the school year, and many students had time on their hands. When they heard that a freshman was challenging an upperclassman, they naturally flocked to see the excitement.

By seven o'clock, the Soul Fighting Arena was already packed.

There were only ten minutes left before the match, and Chu Feng hurried over. But the arena was already full, and a crowd of latecomers had gathered outside, cursing and grumbling. Some had even used their Soul Skills to climb onto the arena windows to watch.

"Holy crap, is it always this lively?"

Chu Feng was stunned by the spectacular scene.

He had guessed that his move might attract plenty of people looking for a show, but he hadn't expected such a huge crowd. It was unbelievable.

He had planned to take Xu Sanshi down in one move, but with so many people watching, should he consider showing Xu Sanshi a little respect? At least let him use a Soul Skill...

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

When Chu Feng reached the entrance, an old man stopped him.

"Grandpa, can't you make an exception?" Chu Feng asked with a smile.

"You're very polite, but those are the rules," the old man replied blandly.

"Grandpa, I have to get in, or this match won't happen..."

Chu Feng looked at the other man with amusement and sighed helplessly.

"Hey, you're really stubborn, aren't you?"

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

The old man was so exasperated that he laughed. The kid was too young to even come up with a convincing excuse.

"I'm the challenger..."

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

The old man froze and looked at Chu Feng's badge. The name "Chu Feng" was clearly written on it.

If he remembered correctly, the freshman who had challenged Xu Sanshi was...

Their eyes met.

"..."

"..."

Chu Feng entered the Soul Fighting Arena without a hitch. A tumult of noise poured into his ears. With only five minutes left before the match, many people were already getting impatient.

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

"He must be scared. He stood Xu Sanshi up, after all!"

"Heh, but if he really breaks his word, that kid's going to be 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'll beat him up every time I see him!"

The crowd began cursing and grumbling.

If Chu Feng didn't show, they would have wasted their time for nothing.
