Valkyrie Xian Lin'er

As the black-robed figure finished speaking, a translucent orb suddenly appeared in his hand, which he then crushed with a fierce grip.

"Hum--"

An invisible ripple instantly swept across the entire area.

Chu Feng could clearly feel an intangible energy barrier enveloping the space within a hundred-meter radius.

This energy barrier possessed no defensive capabilities, yet it seemed capable of masking all manner of auras and the transmission of spiritual power.

"Although this isolation barrier can only last for one minute, it is more than enough to deal with a little brat. Hehehe~"

"Dark Mist--"

The black-robed figure gave a cold, sinister laugh, and a pitch-black, evil mist quickly condensed in his hands, instantly shrouding the entire shop.

Feeling this mist, Chu Feng could clearly discern that it was composed of countless tiny black insects. These little things seemed to lack physical form, appearing as phantoms manifested from spiritual power, constantly attempting to burrow into his Sea of Consciousness, though they were all blocked at the threshold.

Chu Feng also realized that this stuff had no real lethality; it was a form of alternative spiritual attack. Once invaded, a target would likely fall into a coma within a short time or might even have their mind controlled by the opponent.

However, spiritual attacks were the very thing he feared the least.

"Boring. A pile of trash."

Seeing this, Chu Feng instantly lost interest. With a casual wave of his hand, an invisible surge of spiritual power erupted.

"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle--"

The spiritual storm swept through like an autumn wind scattering fallen leaves, grinding every single one of the little insects along its path into powder, utterly annihilating them.

In an instant, the entire shop was restored to clarity.

"What!!! This is impossible!!"

Seeing this, the black-robed figure's eyes nearly popped out of their sockets. This was his most prized soul skill, yet it had been shattered by a mere brat!

Are you kidding me??

[You have shocked Mist Shadow, gaining the talent ability -- "Thousand Illusions"]

The moment Chu Feng's spiritual power erupted, it also crushed the invisible barrier the black-robed figure had initially released to hide his aura, instantly exposing the Evil Soul Master's presence.

"Damn it!!"

"You little brat, you're dead!!"

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

Realizing he was exposed, Mist Shadow looked at Chu Feng with eyes full of killing intent.

The energy barrier he had released at the start was only meant to mask his Evil Soul Master aura; even if he fought here, it would at most attract some trash guards, and he would have had plenty of time to escape.

But now that the barrier was destroyed, his chances of survival today were slim. Taking down a kid who appeared to be a genius Soul Engineer as a companion in death would be worth it.

However, just as he prepared to strike, a terrifying, thunderous boom suddenly echoed from afar.

"Boom--"

A cyan figure soared into the sky from the center of Shrek City, her terrifying momentum sweeping across the entire city!

Everyone looked up, their faces filled with shock.

It was a stunningly beautiful woman covered in cyan dragon-scale armor, wreathed in cyan flames, and wielding a battle halberd over three meters long.

The woman had fair skin and delicate features, her heroic spirit no less than any man's. The killing intent radiating from her body stretched for thousands of meters, covering nearly the entire Shrek City—she was like a peerless Valkyrie!

"Holy crap, isn't that Dean Xian Lin'er??" Chu Feng looked up and saw this scene, feeling quite surprised. He hadn't expected her to be the one guarding Shrek City.

She was so damn cool!

If only he could marry her...

"No, no, she's a married woman... though it seems Qian Duoduo hasn't even held Xian Lin'er's hand... hehehe..." Chu Feng swallowed hard and quickly suppressed the thought. She was a Title Douluo, and he was just a little kid; he had better keep a low profile.

"A bunch of vermin dare to run wild in Shrek City?" Xian Lin'er glanced at the Evil Soul Master, her gaze incomparably cold, her killing intent spilling out uncontrollably.

"No, I..." Although the Evil Soul Master was powerful, under Xian Lin'er's terrifying gaze, he didn't even have the courage to resist, his speech stuttering.

"All Evil Soul Masters deserve to die!" Xian Lin'er didn't give him a chance, casually throwing the battle halberd in her hand.

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

"Squelch--"

In the blink of an eye, the battle halberd landed on Mist Shadow's head, exploding it instantly. The terrifying cyan flames upon it swept through, burning all his flesh and blood into ash.

From the strike to the kill, not even a second had passed. The dignified Soul Emperor-level Evil Soul Master didn't even have time to utter his last words before he was finished on the spot.

"As expected of the Valkyrie, absolutely domineering!!" Chu Feng was also deeply shocked by this scene. This heroic and spirited personality was truly hard for an ordinary person to tame.

However, Xian Lin'er was the strongest woman in Shrek Academy and the Dean of the Soul Engineering Department; it was only fitting that she possessed such an awe-inspiring, badass aura.

Terrifying indeed!!!

"Whoosh--"

Xian Lin'er descended from the sky, retrieved her battle halberd from the ground, and turned her gaze toward Chu Feng's shop.

"Are you the owner of this shop?" Xian Lin'er was quite surprised when she saw Chu Feng's appearance.

To think that such a young boy could open a shop in such a bustling area, and be selling Soul Tool items at that!

She was the Dean of the Soul Engineering Department, so naturally, she felt a bit curious about this.

"It is me. My name is Chu Feng, and I thank the Martial God Douluo for saving my life." Chu Feng hurriedly cupped his hands toward Xian Lin'er, his attitude very respectful.

However, he did not take the initiative to reveal his identity as a student of Shrek Academy; after all, it was currently class time, and it would be quite troublesome if Xian Lin'er were to press the matter.

"Hmm, do you know why this Evil Soul Master would target you?" Xian Lin'er nodded and asked nonchalantly.

She had long known that there were Evil Soul Master individuals in Shrek City, but they hid themselves very well. Most were not particularly strong and were primarily responsible for gathering intelligence, so Shrek Academy usually turned a blind eye. After all, the flow of people in Shrek City was too massive; it was simply impossible to root out all of these Evil Soul Master operatives. Despite this, there hadn't been a single incident of an Evil Soul Master causing trouble in decades.

Yet today, an Evil Soul Master at the Soul Emperor level had gone so far as to expose himself just to stir up trouble. The key to this must lie with this kid.

"I don't know. Maybe he just thought I was handsome," Chu Feng shook his head and answered with complete sincerity.

"Pfft~"

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

Hearing this, Xian Lin'er couldn't help but burst into laughter. She had never seen someone with such thick skin, and the fact that he dared to joke like this even after knowing she was a Title Douluo showed he had more than just a little bit of nerve.
