Valkyrie Xian Lin'er

The black-robed man finished speaking, and a translucent sphere suddenly appeared in his hand. He crushed it with a vicious squeeze.

"Bzzzz—"

An invisible ripple swept across the entire area in an instant.

Chu Feng could clearly sense an invisible energy barrier enveloping the space within a hundred meters.

The barrier had no defensive power, but it seemed capable of concealing all kinds of auras and preventing spiritual power from spreading.

"Though this isolation barrier can only last a minute, that's more than enough to deal with a little brat. Heh heh heh~"

"Dark Mist—"

The black-robed man gave a sinister smile. A mass of pitch-black, evil mist quickly gathered in his hand, then enveloped the entire shop in an instant.

As Chu Feng sensed the mist, he could clearly tell it was made up of countless tiny black bugs. These little things seemed to have no physical form; they were merely phantoms conjured from spiritual power, constantly trying to burrow into his Sea of Consciousness. But he kept them all at bay.

Chu Feng could tell that this thing had no real killing power. It was a peculiar sort of mental attack. Once it invaded, its target would probably fall unconscious for a short time and might even have their mind controlled by the other party.

But mental attacks were exactly what he feared least.

"Boring. A pile of trash."

Chu Feng instantly lost interest. With a casual wave, he unleashed a burst of invisible spiritual power.

"Zzzzz—"

A storm of spiritual power swept through like an autumn wind scattering fallen leaves, crushing every little bug in its path to dust and wiping them from existence.

In almost an instant, the entire shop was clear again.

"What!!! That's impossible!!"

The black-robed man's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. This was the Soul Skill he was most proud of, yet a little brat had just slapped it to pieces!

Was he kidding??

[You shocked Mist Shadow and obtained the innate ability—"Thousand Illusions"]

At the instant Chu Feng's spiritual power erupted, it also crushed the invisible shield that the black-robed man had first released to conceal his aura. The Evil Soul Master's aura was immediately laid bare.

"Damn it!!"

"You're dead, brat!!"

"If I can't have it, then I'll destroy it!"

Mist Shadow realized he had been exposed, and his gaze at Chu Feng brimmed with murderous intent.

The energy barrier he had released at first was only meant to hide the Evil Soul Master's aura. Even if a fight broke out here, it would at most attract a few worthless guards, leaving him plenty of time to get away.

But now that the barrier was gone, he was surely doomed today. At least taking out a brat who seemed to be a genius Soul Engineer with him would make it worthwhile.

But just as he was about to attack, a terrifying boom suddenly rang out in the distance.

"Rumble—"

A blue figure shot skyward from the center of Shrek City, her terrifying aura sweeping across the entire city!

Everyone looked up, their faces filled with astonishment.

She was a stunning woman, her body wreathed in blue flames. She held a battle halberd over three meters long, and blue dragon-scale armor covered her from head to toe.

Her skin was fair and her face delicate, yet the heroic spirit she exuded was in no way inferior to a man's. Her murderous aura stretched for several thousand meters, almost covering the whole of Shrek City. She was every bit the peerless Valkyrie!

"Holy crap, isn't that Dean Xian Lin'er??" Chu Feng looked up at the sight, stunned. He hadn't expected the one guarding Shrek City to be her.

She was so damn cool!

If only he could bring her home...

"No, no, she's already someone's wife... Though Qian Duoduo might not have even held Xian Lin'er's hand... Heh heh heh..." Chu Feng swallowed, quickly reining in his thoughts. She was a Titled Douluo, while he was just a little kid. He'd better keep himself in check.

"You filthy bugs dare run wild in Shrek City?" Xian Lin'er glanced at the Evil Soul Master, her gaze ice-cold. Her murderous aura spilled out uncontrollably.

"No, I..." The Evil Soul Master was powerful, but under Xian Lin'er's terrifying gaze, he didn't even have the courage to resist. He could barely get the words out.

"Evil Soul Masters all deserve to die!" Xian Lin'er gave him no chance at all and casually hurled the battle halberd in her hand.

"Wait, spare me! I know where the headquarters..."

"Shhk—"

In the blink of an eye, the battle halberd struck Mist Shadow in the head, blowing it apart. The terrifying blue flames engulfed him, instantly reducing every scrap of flesh and blood to ash.

From the moment she struck to the moment she killed him, not even a second had passed. The mighty Soul Emperor-level Evil Soul Master didn't even have time to finish his last words before he kicked the bucket.

"As expected of the Valkyrie—what overwhelming presence!!" Chu Feng was deeply shaken as he watched. With such a dashing, valiant personality, she'd be impossible for an ordinary man to tame.

But Xian Lin'er was the strongest woman in Shrek Academy, as well as the dean of the Soul Engineering Department. It was only natural for her to have such domineering confidence.

Absolutely terrifying!!!

"Whoosh—"

Xian Lin'er descended from the sky and retrieved the battle halberd from the ground, then turned to look at Chu Feng's shop.

"You're the owner of this shop?" Xian Lin'er was a little surprised when she saw Chu Feng.

She hadn't expected such a young boy to run a shop in such a bustling area—and to be selling Soul Tools, no less!

As the dean of the Soul Engineering Department, she couldn't help but be curious.

"That's right. My name is Chu Feng. Thank you for saving my life, Martial God Douluo." Chu Feng hurriedly cupped his hands toward Xian Lin'er, his manner respectful.

He didn't reveal that he was a Shrek Academy student, though. It was class time, after all, and things could get troublesome if Xian Lin'er pressed him about it.

"Mm. Do you know why this Evil Soul Master came after you?" Xian Lin'er nodded and asked casually.

She had long known there were Evil Soul Masters in Shrek City, but they were very good at hiding, and most of them weren't very strong. Their main job was gathering intelligence, so Shrek Academy had turned a blind eye. After all, Shrek City had too much foot traffic; catching all the Evil Soul Masters was impossible. Even so, there hadn't been a single incident of Evil Soul Masters causing trouble in decades.

Yet today, an Evil Soul Master at the Soul Emperor level had risked exposing himself to make trouble. The key to it all had to be this boy.

"I don't know. Maybe he thought I was pretty handsome." Chu Feng shook his head and answered very seriously.

"Pfft~"

"You little rascal, you can still joke around at a time like this~"

Xian Lin'er couldn't help laughing when she heard that. She'd never met anyone with such a thick skin. And even though he knew she was a Titled Douluo, he still dared to joke around like that. He certainly wasn't short on guts.
