Ma Xiaotao Came to His Door-and He Booked a Room

Over the next few days, Chu Feng skipped all his classes. He spent most of his time cultivating and the rest making Soul Tools.

In his free time, he took Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong shopping and out to eat, or they went to the Soul Fighting Arena to watch their seniors brawl. A little gambling for fun did them no harm, and life was pretty enjoyable.

But Chu Feng also noticed that Wang Dong seemed a little different these past few days. He couldn't say exactly how, but he kept catching her sneaking glances at him... He had no idea what she was up to...

Besides that, Chu Feng also examined the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda he'd gotten from Ning Zhiyuan.

It was a Level 9 Soul Tool. It looked impressive, but with his current abilities, he couldn't unleash its full power.

With his current Soul Power, he could activate at most the first five levels of the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda.

Its effects were similar to those of a Martial Soul, but its boosts were far greater.

Activating the first level increased speed by 100%.

Activating the second level increased strength by 120%.

Activating the third level boosted Soul Power by 150%.

Activating the fourth level increased defense by 200%.

Activating the fifth level increased mental power by 250%.

Of course, the better the effect, the more Soul Power it consumed.

Chu Feng thought he could modify it when he had time and add a charging Milk Bottle. That should make it much more convenient.

But to make the Milk Bottle small, he'd need high-grade materials. To fit it inside the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda, he'd need materials for at least a Level 7 Soul Tool. He didn't have any way to get those at the moment. He could stop by the Soul Engineering Department sometime, or ask Ning Zhiyuan...

Fortunately, it wasn't all that important to him right now. He didn't have any enemies to speak of, and he was invincible within the academy. He wouldn't need it for the time being.

One day, Chu Feng left the Inscription Room in the Soul Engineering Department and headed back to cultivate, but someone stopped him on the way.

It was none other than Ma Xiaotao, whom he'd knocked unconscious with a single whip crack last time.

Ma Xiaotao was still dressed in a tight, fiery-red dress and a pair of short leather shorts. Her fiery-red hair flowed behind her, and paired with her stunning figure, she looked incredibly hot.

"You're Chu Feng?" Ma Xiaotao looked at him with an air of haughty superiority.

After she woke up, she'd wanted to find out what had happened, but her teacher refused to say a word.

Knowing her teacher's temperament, she'd had no choice but to ask the teacher who'd treated her at the time. At last, she'd learned about Chu Feng.

Apparently, this new student named Chu Feng had knocked her out.

With her pride, how could she put up with such humiliation?

She was a mighty Soul Emperor. No matter how strong he was, he was still just a new student. There was no way he could have knocked her out. There had to be more to it!

Besides, she could clearly sense that Chu Feng's Soul Power was only around level 30. He was strong, but in her eyes he was still no more than an ant.

But the Evil Fire inside her really had disappeared, so she'd come to find him.

"Mm, that's me."

Chu Feng knew he couldn't keep it a secret, so he smiled and nodded. Ma Xiaotao's haughty attitude didn't bother him in the slightest.

"What's your ice-attribute Martial Soul?" Ma Xiaotao remained every bit as condescending, as if she weren't asking but giving an order.

"Senior, asking someone about their Martial Soul isn't very polite." Chu Feng remained calm and respectful, smiling.

"You're not bad. Fight me." Ma Xiaotao dropped the subject and got straight to the point, her tone leaving no room for argument, as if it were an order.

"Senior, there's no need to test me. I'll be honest: my Martial Soul can suppress the Evil Fire inside you. But I have a quicker, more effective way than fighting~" Chu Feng didn't want to waste time talking to Ma Xiaotao. He'd already booked a room; all that remained was to lure her in.

Chu Feng could clearly sense that Ma Xiaotao had been getting carried away since last time, cultivating like mad. In just a few days, the Evil Fire inside her had surged, and that was why she'd come looking for him.

When Ma Xiaotao had gone to Xu Sanshi before, she'd vented her fire through fighting. Naturally, she assumed that fighting him would work too. Too bad...

"What more effective way?" Ma Xiaotao asked with a slight frown. She'd taken the bait immediately.

"Come with me, and you'll see, senior~" Chu Feng kept her guessing, though inwardly he thought, I'm not going to spray water like Xu Sanshi. If you want to put out that fire, heh heh...

Before long, Chu Feng brought Ma Xiaotao to a Training Room.

The Soul Fighting Arena was for settling personal grudges and holding large-scale matches. The academy's Training Rooms, on the other hand, were meant for students to spar. They weren't as big as the arena—only about the size of a classroom—but they offered enough privacy.

Chu Feng had rented the academy's most exclusive Training Room. It cost 10 Gold Soul Coins a day, and he'd rented it for a whole month. He'd certainly come prepared.

"What did you bring me here for? Are we still going to fight?" Ma Xiaotao walked in with her arms crossed. Soul Power surged around her as she looked at Chu Feng with a fierce fighting spirit.

She'd studied in the Outer Court before, so of course she knew this was one of its Training Rooms. It was smaller than the Soul Fighting Arena, but this was the highest-grade training room. As long as she didn't go all out, she should be fine.

"There's no need to fight. You can turn around, senior, and leave the rest to me. I should be able to get rid of the Evil Fire inside you pretty quickly~" Chu Feng continued smiling as he coaxed her along.

"Fine. Let's see what method you've got."

Ma Xiaotao raised her swanlike neck. She didn't believe Chu Feng, but she still stubbornly turned her back to him. She had absolute confidence in her strength and wasn't worried he'd try anything.

Seeing how cooperative Ma Xiaotao was, Chu Feng slowly conjured a ten-meter-long Ice Whip in his hand.

As the Ice Whip appeared, the temperature in the entire Training Room plummeted.

What powerful Soul Power—and such formidable ice attribute, too. Could this guy really be a new student? Ma Xiaotao felt the intense chill around her and was secretly shocked.

The next moment—

Crack!

Ma Xiaotao heard a sharp report like a thunderclap.

In an instant, her buttocks went numb. Soon, she felt a fine chill seep into her body, starting to neutralize the Evil Fire inside her. The effect was excellent!

But...

And yet...

Still...

Ma Xiaotao reached back to touch her buttocks, and a wave of pain hit her. It seemed the back of her short skirt had been torn open a little.

"..."

"..."

"Ma Xiaotao's anger +100000"

[You shocked Ma Xiaotao. Your physique doubled, and you gained +99% fire resistance (immune to 99% of fire-attribute damage)]

Before Chu Feng had a chance to inspect the reward, Ma Xiaotao had already transformed into a frenzied Fire Phoenix and lunged at him.

"Ahhh!"

"I'm gonna kill you!"

Ma Xiaotao was livid. She was a mighty Soul Emperor from the Inner Court, yet a new student had whipped her buttocks...

If anyone found out, she'd lose every last shred of face. She'd never be able to show herself again...

Seeing Ma Xiaotao charge at him, Chu Feng wasn't afraid at all. He simply gathered some chill around himself for protection.

Boom!

The two figures collided in an instant. Chu Feng was engulfed by the Phoenix Evil Fire, but he wasn't hurt in the slightest.

Ma Xiaotao was completely out of control and didn't notice that. She kept launching close-range attacks at Chu Feng.

Chu Feng wasn't as skilled in combat as Ma Xiaotao, but his body was incredibly strong. Even without the boost from his First Soul Skill, he could trade blows with her without falling behind.

"Senior, please calm down. I'm doing this for your own good~" Chu Feng sensed the Evil Fire inside Ma Xiaotao surge in an instant and hurriedly reminded her.

"You lecher! Die, you bastard!"

Ma Xiaotao's eyes were bloodshot, and wisps of black smoke even drifted from the scarlet flames around her.
