Dare to Ambush Yifeng? You're Courting Death! Entering the Elimination Rounds

As soon as he finished speaking, the agility-attack-type Soul Master across from them charged forward, activating his first soul skill as his speed soared.

Shen Yifeng swiftly summoned the Rainbow Dragon King Martial Soul, and one yellow and one purple Soul Ring rose around him.

With Martial Soul Possession, a pair of broad wings sprouted from his back, and his hair turned a glittering rainbow color.

Quite a few people cried out in alarm.

"A second Soul Ring, a thousand-year Soul Ring?"

Theoretically, a second Soul Ring should only be a hundred-year one, yet Shen Yifeng had a thousand-year Soul Ring. It was utterly shocking.

"A thousand-year Soul Ring?"

Tang San rubbed his eyes, thinking he had seen wrong.

He had hidden it so deeply.

Yu Xiaogang was dumbfounded as well.

That wasn't right. It completely defied common sense.

Could he have encountered some sort of extraordinary opportunity?

If he didn't take this boy as his disciple, it would be an affront to heaven itself.

"Crimson Power, Orange Soul."

Shen Yifeng unleashed his first and second soul skills, and two beams of light descended upon Gu Yuena.

Gu Yuena's attributes instantly rose by a tremendous amount.

The Rainbow Dragon Martial Soul provided a huge boost to ordinary Soul Masters, but for dragon-type Martial Souls, its effects were doubled.

Orange boosted strength, while crimson enhanced Soul Power recovery. However, his Rainbow Dragon was the king of the Rainbow Dragon clan, so its amplification effects could also be significantly doubled.

Gu Yuena stood where she was, feeling Shen Yifeng's enhancement as the corners of her lips curved upward.

"First soul skill, Elemental Tide."

This soul skill strengthened her connection to the elements, increasing the power of subsequent elemental soul skills by thirty to fifty percent.

The agility-attack-type Soul Master immediately leaped toward them.

"Second soul skill, Elemental Control."

Gu Yuena raised her hand and flicked it, sending a Wind Blade flying out at high speed.

The agility-attack-type Soul Master hurriedly dodged. He thought he had avoided it, but after passing him, the Wind Blade curved back around.

"Damn, it's still tracking me!"

The agility-attack-type Soul Master was startled and quickly dodged again.

"Hahaha! Take out the support Soul Master first, and everything will fall into place."

The power-attack-type Soul Master had already leaped into the air and unleashed his second soul skill, Mount Tai Meteor Fall.

His arms transformed into enormous hammers that crashed fiercely toward Shen Yifeng.

Shen Yifeng had intended to take flight and evade. With his speed, he could easily have avoided it, but the next instant...

"Trying to ambush him? Dream on."

At some point, Gu Yuena had appeared in front of Shen Yifeng. She was as fast as lightning, so fast that no one had time to react.

How dare you take the chance to ambush my wife? You must be tired of living.

Gu Yuena's hands transformed into a water fist and a fire fist, which she slammed fiercely into the power-attack-type Soul Master.

The instant they made contact, the power-attack-type Soul Master was sent flying.

The tremendous impact slammed the power-attack-type Soul Master to the ground, leaving him unable to move.

So fast, and so strong.

The agility-attack-type Soul Master's expression changed drastically when he saw that.

Before he could react, five Wind Blades appeared from all directions, poised to tear him apart.

He immediately begged for mercy. "Stop, stop, stop! I surrender!"

"We surrender!" the power-attack-type Soul Master shouted as well.

The two of them hurriedly cried out.

The entire process had taken less than a minute.

The referee froze for a moment before announcing, "Shen Yifeng and Gu Yuena, victory!"

An uproar broke out all around them.

"That fast?"

"Gu Yuena is way too strong! Is the Elementalist Martial Soul really this overpowered? She controls so many elements—this is practically cheating!"

"Well? Aren't I amazing?"

Gu Yuena looked proudly at Shen Yifeng, her undisguised eyes clearly asking for praise.

"Just average."

Shen Yifeng curled his lips, unmoved. He knew what Gu Yuena meant, but he simply refused to indulge her.

Gu Yuena wasn't discouraged. The road to pursuing his wife was a long one.

In the following group matches, the two of them crushed their opponents all the way through.

Gu Yuena handled the offense while Shen Yifeng only needed to provide buffs. He did not need to fight at all.

None of their opponents lasted more than a minute.

By evening, Group A's matches had ended. Shen Yifeng and Gu Yuena advanced to the elimination rounds with a perfect record.

Meanwhile, Tang San and Xiao Wu from Group B also advanced with ease.

Yu Xiaogang stood in the stands, his gaze fixed tightly on Shen Yifeng's retreating figure.

"I absolutely cannot let a talent with such a Martial Soul slip away," he muttered, his eyes growing increasingly resolute.

It would be a terrible waste if he did not take him as a disciple. There was also that girl with the Elementalist Martial Soul, who had a childhood betrothal to Shen Yifeng.

If he won over Shen Yifeng, he could teach Gu Yuena as well.

He absolutely could not miss such geniuses.

Although it was a support Martial Soul, its effects were far from weak.

"The elimination rounds are tomorrow, and the finals are the day after."

"Today was pretty easy."

Back in the dormitory, Gu Yuena stretched lazily.

Their three battles that afternoon had all been little more than one-sided beatdowns.

There were not many geniuses in the junior academy, and Soul Masters capable of making Gu Yuena fight seriously were almost nonexistent.

Other than Tang San and Xiao Wu, the others' teamwork was indeed rather lacking.

"Look how pleased you are with yourself. Once we reach the finals, we'll probably be facing Tang San and Xiao Wu."

"Tang San and Xiao Wu? Are those two from Dorm Seven really that strong?"

Gu Yuena did not think those two were particularly strong.

Is my wife that sure of herself?

"They're considered strong at Notting Academy, since neither of them has weak talent. But to you, Gu Yuena, they're nothing special."

"Of course. I said I'd let you win while lying down, and I absolutely can."

In Shen Yifeng's mind, it was enough for him to be the strongest.

Shen Yifeng's support buffs were definitely very important to her.

"Even without you, I could casually find someone else and still win with my buffs."

Shen Yifeng packed his things without even looking up, his tone calm.

Gu Yuena instantly bristled and pounced over to pin down his hand.

"That won't do! How could you do without me?"

"Why not?"

Shen Yifeng raised an eyebrow at her.

"Because it just won't!"

Gu Yuena puffed out her cheeks, anxious beyond measure.

That idea is way too dangerous. I have to nip it in the bud.

If he really thinks anyone will do, won't he just find someone else to support in the future? Then what use would I be?

"Your buffs can bring out thirty percent at most in someone else. With me, they can bring out more than one hundred percent."

Gu Yuena counted on her fingers.

"Besides, I can protect you. Can anyone else? When that power-attack guy came smashing down earlier, someone else would've been flattened already."

Shen Yifeng snorted with laughter. Did she really think he could not have dodged?

"Also, I can eat, sleep, and warm your bed. Can anyone else do that?"

The more Gu Yuena spoke, the more justified she sounded.

Shen Yifeng's face darkened. "Cross out that last one."

"I won't!"

Gu Yuena shamelessly persisted.

"Anyway, you can only team up with me, and you can only support me. If you dare support anyone else, I'll... I'll beat that person flat so they never dare speak to you again."

"Got it. You really are naggy."

Gu Yuena laughed a few times.

Seeing him relent, Gu Yuena immediately beamed and leaned over to help him fold his clothes.

"I knew Yifeng was the best. Tomorrow, in the elimination rounds, I'll take care of our opponents even faster. Afterward, shall we go eat braised pork ribs?"

"You're paying?"

"...You pay first. Once I have money, I'll pay you back double."

Gu Yuena answered without much confidence, already urging Di Tian in her heart to hurry up and bring money to Nuoding City.

Shen Yifeng: So you're trying to manipulate me?

The next day, the elimination rounds began as scheduled.
