Ma Xiaotao Comes to the Door, Books a Room Directly

For the next few days, Chu Feng skipped all his classes, spending most of his time cultivating and the rest crafting Soul Tool items.

In his spare time, he would take Xiao Xiao and Wang Dong out for meals or to the Soul Fighting Arena to watch the seniors brawl. With a few small bets placed for fun, life was quite enjoyable.

However, Chu Feng noticed that Wang Dong had been acting a bit different lately. He couldn't quite put his finger on what had changed, but he kept catching Wang Dong sneaking glances at him... he had no idea what she was up to.

Beyond that, Chu Feng also spent time researching the "Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda" he had looted from Ning Zhiyuan.

It was a level-nine Soul Tool. It looked incredibly impressive, but in reality, his current strength was insufficient to unleash its full potential.

With his current soul power, he could only activate the first five layers of the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda at most.

As for its effects, they were similar to a martial soul, but the amplification strength far exceeded one.

Activating the first layer increased speed by 100%.

Activating the second layer increased strength by 120%.

Activating the third layer increased soul power by 150%.

Activating the fourth layer increased defense by 200%.

Activating the fifth layer increased spiritual power by 250%.

Naturally, the better the effect, the more soul power it consumed.

Chu Feng thought that when he had time, he could modify it by adding a rechargeable Milk Bottle, which would make things much more convenient.

However, to make the Milk Bottle small enough, he would need high-grade materials. To fit a Milk Bottle inside the Nine Treasures Glazed Pagoda, he would need at least level-seven Soul Tool materials. He currently lacked the channels for such things, so he might visit the Soul Engineering Department or look for Ning Zhiyuan when he had the chance.

Fortunately, this item wasn't very important to him right now. He had no real enemies, and he was practically invincible within the academy, so he didn't need it for the time being.

One day, as Chu Feng emerged from the Inscription Room of the Soul Engineering Department, preparing to head back to cultivate, he was intercepted halfway.

The person blocking his path was none other than Ma Xiaotao, the one he had whipped into unconsciousness last time.

Ma Xiaotao was still wearing a fire-red tight-fitting dress with a pair of small leather pants underneath. Her long, fiery red hair flowed behind her, and paired with her proud figure, she looked exceptionally hot.

"You're Chu Feng?" Ma Xiaotao looked at Chu Feng with an arrogant expression.

After she woke up, she had wanted to know what happened, but her teacher had refused to speak a word about it.

Knowing her teacher's personality, she had been forced to beg the teacher who treated her at the time, finally obtaining information about Chu Feng.

It was said that she had been knocked out by this freshman named Chu Feng.

With her pride, how could she possibly endure such humiliation?

She was a dignified Soul Emperor powerhouse; no matter how strong the other party was, he was just a freshman. It was impossible for her to have been knocked out—there must have been some hidden reason!

Moreover, she could clearly sense that the soul power fluctuations in Chu Feng's body were only around level 30. While strong, he was still like an ant in her eyes.

However, it was true that the evil fire in her body had vanished, which was why she had come to find Chu Feng.

"Yes, that's me."

Chu Feng naturally knew this couldn't be hidden, so he nodded with a smile, completely unbothered by Ma Xiaotao's arrogant attitude.

"What is your ice-attribute martial soul?" Ma Xiaotao maintained her high-and-mighty attitude, as if she weren't asking a question, but issuing a command.

"Senior, asking about someone else's martial soul isn't very polite." Chu Feng remained calm and composed, a smile on his face.

"You're not bad. Fight me." Ma Xiaotao brushed aside the topic and got straight to the point, her tone carrying an unquestionable air, as if she were giving an order.

"Senior, there's no need to test me. I'll be honest: my martial soul can suppress the evil fire in your body, but I have a faster and more efficient method than fighting~" Chu Feng didn't want to waste words with Ma Xiaotao; he had already booked a room and was just waiting for her to take the bait.

Chu Feng could clearly sense that Ma Xiaotao had been getting cocky since last time, training frantically, which caused the evil fire in her body to surge over the past few days, leading her to seek him out.

Ma Xiaotao had previously sought out Xu Sanshi to vent her fire through combat, so she naturally assumed that fighting him would work too. Unfortunately...

"What efficient method?" Ma Xiaotao asked with a slight frown, taking the bait immediately.

"Follow me, Senior, and you'll see~" Chu Feng kept her in suspense, though he thought to himself: I won't be spraying water like Xu Sanshi. If you want to vent your fire, heh heh heh...

Soon, Chu Feng brought Ma Xiaotao to a Training Room.

The Soul Fighting Arena was used for settling personal grudges and large-scale duels, while the academy's Training Room was provided for students to spar. It wasn't as large as the arena—only the size of a classroom—but it offered enough privacy.

Chu Feng had rented the academy's top-tier Training Room for 10 Gold Soul Coins a day, and he had rented it for a full month, showing he was well-prepared.

"Why did you bring me here? Are we still going to fight?" Ma Xiaotao walked in with her arms crossed, her soul power surging, her eyes filled with fighting spirit.

She had studied in the Outer Court, so she naturally knew this was an Outer Court Training Room. Although smaller than the Soul Fighting Arena, it was the highest-grade training facility; as long as she didn't use her full strength, it should be fine.

"No need to fight. Senior, you can turn around. Leave the rest to me; I should be able to eliminate the evil fire in your body very quickly~" Chu Feng kept his smile, coaxing her along.

"Fine, I'd like to see what method you have to solve this~"

Ma Xiaotao lifted her swan-like neck. Although she didn't believe what Chu Feng said, she stubbornly chose to turn around and face away from him. This was absolute confidence in her own strength; she wasn't afraid of Chu Feng playing any tricks.

Seeing Ma Xiaotao being so cooperative, Chu Feng slowly condensed a ten-meter-long Ice Whip in his hand.

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

Such vigorous soul power, and this ice attribute is so powerful. Is this guy really a freshman?? Ma Xiaotao felt the powerful chill in the air and was secretly shocked.

The next moment.

"Snap--"

Ma Xiaotao only heard a crack like a thunderbolt, piercing and deafening.

In an instant, she felt a sudden numbness in her rear, followed quickly by a trace of coolness seeping into her body, beginning to neutralize the evil fire within her—the effect was remarkably good!

But...

However...

Yet...

Ma Xiaotao reached back to touch her rear, and a sharp pain immediately flared up; her skirt seemed to have been torn open at the back.

"..."

"..."

"Ma Xiaotao's anger +100000"

You shocked Ma Xiaotao, your physique has doubled, obtained Fire Attribute Resistance +99% (Immune to 99% of fire attribute damage)

Before Chu Feng could even check his rewards, Ma Xiaotao had already transformed into a frenzied Fire Phoenix, lunging at him to kill.

"Ahhh!!"

"I'm going to kill you--"

Ma Xiaotao was driven mad with rage; she, a dignified Soul Emperor of the Inner Court, had actually been spanked by a freshman...

If this got out, she would lose all face and have no way to show herself in public ever again...

Seeing Ma Xiaotao charging toward him, Chu Feng felt no fear, merely gathering a bit of cold air to shield himself.

"Boom--"

The two figures collided instantly. Chu Feng was engulfed by the Phoenix Evil Fire, yet he did not suffer a single bit of damage.

Ma Xiaotao was completely hysterical and naturally failed to notice this, continuing to launch melee attacks at Chu Feng.

Chu Feng's combat techniques were not as strong as Ma Xiaotao's, but his physical strength was immense; even without the enhancement of his First Soul Skill, he could trade blows with her, not falling behind in the slightest.

"Senior, please calm down, I'm doing this for your own good~" Chu Feng noticed the evil fire within Ma Xiaotao surging violently and hurriedly warned her.

"You lecher! Die for me--"

Ma Xiaotao's eyes were blood-red, and wisps of black aura even emanated from the crimson flames on her body.
