Qian Daoliu Meets Qin Feng, Outstanding Talent!

Just as Zhu Zhuqing was immersed in her maidenly thoughts.

A noisy sound of footsteps came from behind a nearby bush, accompanied by several voices sounding rather exasperated.

"Everyone, keep looking! Even if Zhuqing encountered danger, she would definitely have left some traces!"

This voice was all too familiar to Zhu Zhuqing; it was none other than the group from Shrek Academy.

Zhu Zhuqing composed her emotions, took a deep breath, and slowly stepped out from behind the ancient tree.

Passing through a patch of brush, she ran straight into the Shrek team.

The group looked disheveled.

Tang San was covered in mud, Oscar was panting heavily nearby, and his clothes were torn in several places by thorns.

When Zhu Zhuqing's gaze fell upon the golden-haired, heterochromatic-eyed youth in the crowd, the shyness that had been on her face vanished without a trace.

In its place was extreme coldness and disgust.

Dai Mubai!

Seeing this face, the revelations from the Chat Group instantly surfaced in Zhu Zhuqing's mind.

Abandoning his fiancée and fleeing the Star Luo Empire's royal family like a coward!

Spending his days wallowing in brothels in Soto City and fooling around with a pair of twins at the Rose Hotel!

Such a piece of trash was actually called a "God of War" who would ascend to godhood in the future by the group leader?

A strong sense of nausea surged from the depths of her heart.

A future god?

Zhu Zhuqing didn't care for such a disgusting future god at all!

"Zhuqing! It's so good that you're alright!"

Ning Rongrong had sharp eyes and was the first to spot Zhu Zhuqing emerging from the darkness, immediately coming forward with joy.

Seeing that Zhu Zhuqing was safe and sound, the rest of the Shrek group breathed a sigh of relief, their tense nerves relaxing slightly.

However, Dai Mubai strode forward, his brows knitted tightly together, his face showing clear irritation and reproach.

"Where on earth did you go?"

"If you hadn't suddenly gotten separated from the team, we wouldn't have been chased by a pack of soul beasts for a full hour just to find you!"

"Everyone was already exhausted, and now we're in such a sorry state because of you alone. Can you stop running off like that next time?"

Listening to this head-on deflection of responsibility, Zhu Zhuqing laughed in anger, her inner fury instantly ignited.

They couldn't beat the soul beasts, were chased all over the forest, and now they were blaming her for getting separated?

If it weren't for this group's total lack of teamwork, only caring about their own escape when danger struck, would she have been forced into a desperate situation by that Ten-Thousand-Year Demon Spider?

She couldn't help but compare Dai Mubai to Qin Feng in her mind.

When facing the sixty-thousand-year Thousand-Junction Ant Emperor, Qin Feng hadn't even used his soul bones; he could kill it instantly with one percent of his power, effortlessly keeping her safe.

And Dai Mubai?

He could only flee in a panic when encountering a few ordinary soul beasts, and then take his anger out on a woman afterward!

Comparing such a piece of trash to Qin Feng was a huge insult to Qin Feng!

How could such a piece of trash, who only knew how to shirk responsibility and was obsessed with debauchery, possibly become a god?

Did he even deserve it?

Zhu Zhuqing's gaze was as cold as frost as she stared at Dai Mubai, her tone icy to the extreme.

"When you encounter danger, what else can you do besides flee in a panic?"

"I got separated because I was being hunted by a ten-thousand-year-level soul beast!"

"Not only did you fail to protect your teammate, but now that your own strength is insufficient and you're being chased, you come to blame me for dragging you down?"

"Dai Mubai, besides pushing the blame onto others, what else can you do?"

These words struck at the heart, leaving no room for grace, and tore the mask right off his face.

Dai Mubai was instantly rendered speechless.

He opened his mouth, his face turning from blue to white, but he couldn't squeeze out a single word for a long time.

He was completely stunned.

Although Zhu Zhuqing was cold and aloof on ordinary days, she had never spoken to him in such a tone filled with extreme disgust.

How had her attitude changed so much?

There was even disdain in her eyes!

Seeing that the atmosphere was wrong, Ning Rongrong hurriedly grabbed Zhu Zhuqing's arm to smooth things over.

"Alright, alright, it's a blessing that everyone is safe. It's too dangerous in this forest; let's find a safe place to rest first."

Zhu Zhuqing let out a cold snort, feeling that even sparing another glance at Dai Mubai was a waste of effort.

She walked to a large rock nearby, sat down, and closed her eyes to rest.

Her heart was no longer in this so-called team.

Whenever she closed her eyes, her mind was filled with nothing but the brilliant, golden, and overbearing figure of Qin Feng.

Several days later, Spirit City.

Qin Feng and Hu Liena successfully concluded their soul-hunting trip to the Star Dou Great Forest and returned to Spirit Hall.

During this excursion, the relationship between the two had undergone a earth-shattering transformation.

Walking through the spacious and magnificent corridors of Spirit Hall, Hu Liena was practically pressed against Qin Feng's body.

That unreserved affection and reliance were written all over her face.

Feeling the astonishing softness against his arm, Qin Feng inwardly grumbled.

This little girl's favorability toward me is definitely maxed out now.

If I take her back to my room, I can do whatever I want with her!

Thinking of this, Qin Feng's pace involuntarily quickened.

He prepared to find a quiet place quickly to further explore their life ideals.

Hu Liena seemed to sense Qin Feng's thoughts; her cheeks flushed, and her eyes were filled with shyness and anticipation.

However, just as the two reached a secluded courtyard, a tall, upright figure stood silently in the middle of the path.

The man wore simple gray robes, his long golden hair draped casually over his shoulders.

There was no fluctuation of soul power around him, yet he exuded an immense sense of oppression, like a towering mountain.

The Grand Pontiff of Spirit Hall, Qian Daoliu!

Qian Daoliu turned around, his gaze resting calmly on Qin Feng, though his deep eyes hid a trace of shock and appreciation that was difficult to conceal.

"I have been waiting here for you for a long time."

Qin Feng's heart skipped a beat.

He had been slightly annoyed that his good fortune was interrupted, but upon recognizing the man, he immediately composed himself.

"Greetings, Grand Pontiff!"

Hu Liena also hurriedly released Qin Feng's arm, bowing her head respectfully to offer a salute.

Qian Daoliu nodded slightly, his gaze remaining locked on Qin Feng as he scrutinized him carefully.

In truth, when Qin Feng and Hu Liena went to the Star Dou Great Forest to hunt soul beasts, Spirit Hall had naturally dispatched elders to protect them in secret.

The accompanying Titled Douluo had witnessed with his own eyes the terrifying talent Qin Feng displayed and the overbearing strength he used to slay high-age soul beasts, breaking into a cold sweat on the spot.

It was simply terrifying!

When the news was rushed back to the Elder Hall, even Qian Daoliu found it hard to believe.

A Soul Ancestor in his forties, capable of killing a sixty-thousand-year soul beast with a single punch?

This completely shattered the common sense of the entire soul master world for tens of thousands of years!

"Qin Feng."

Qian Daoliu spoke slowly, his voice calm yet carrying immense penetrating power.

"The people protecting you in secret have reported your performance in the Star Dou Great Forest to me truthfully."

"I am very curious: just what level has your strength reached now?"
