Yu Xiaofeng said disdainfully, "I'm the despicable one?"

"I was walking perfectly fine down the road when your people came up and attacked me. And you think you're in the right?"

"When one person couldn't beat me, you sent a whole group?"

"Let everyone judge—who's actually being despicable here?"

As Yu Xiaofeng spoke, his palms never stopped moving. Ma Hongjun took more than twenty blows and was sent flying while vomiting blood. Most of his Soul Power had been sealed, leaving him unable to fight any longer.

Tang San's hidden weapons came like a raging sea, wave after wave shooting out in every direction without a single blind spot.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The gleam of the hidden weapons' blades was like the crimson eyes of venomous snakes—ferocious and highly poisonous. Yu Xiaofeng coated his palms with repulsive force, knocking every rain-like projectile out of a five-yard radius around him.

The clattering sound of hidden weapons falling to the ground left the surrounding spectators gaping, rooted to the spot as if struck by lightning.

Zhu Zhuqing looked at the ghost-faced youth, a blush appearing on her face. He's so handsome. This is probably the first time in my life I've seen such a fierce man.

It's just a pity he isn't on our side. Sigh.

I wonder who's stronger, him or Brother Feng?

While Zhu Zhuqing was lost in thought, Ning Rongrong shouted, "Zhu Zhuqing, hurry back to the academy and bring Brother Feng here!"

Hearing that, Zhu Zhuqing suddenly curled her body and slipped out of Yu Xiaofeng's embrace like a fish. In the blink of an eye, she had vanished.

Yu Xiaofeng gave a bitter smile. "Damn it... that dead pervert is with you?"

Xiao Wu waved her little fists. "Scared now, aren't you? If you're scared, then hurry up and... leave."

Xiao Wu had originally wanted to tell him to get lost, but fearing she would anger him, she chose the word "leave" instead.

Yu Xiaofeng glanced at Old Wu. With a flash, Old Wu grabbed Yu Xiaofeng and disappeared from the spot.

"Ah! They finally left. Looks like Brother Feng has fought that lunatic before—and probably beat him, too."

Xiao Wu said dejectedly.

Flander spoke up at that moment. "Your coordination just now was terrible. You were nothing but a disorganized mob. If you had worked together properly, you definitely could have defeated him."

The six of them clenched their teeth until they creaked, fury blazing in their hearts. There was something Flander did not say. He knew very well that among Shrek's Seven Devils, aside from Yu Xiaofeng, probably none of them was that person's match.

Ning Rongrong suddenly said, "After fighting for so long, he never used a single soul skill or released his soul rings."

Her words were like a thunderclap, instantly leaving everyone on the scene questioning life itself. But Flander said, "What he used was a soul skill, and its power was even stronger than soul ring skills. He follows the path of soul skills, so his soul rings must be meant to enhance them."

Flander's words let everyone breathe a sigh of relief. Xiao Wu then asked Tang San, "Why didn't you use Parasite just now?"

Tang San shook his head. "That black-robed old man's Soul Power was extremely strong. If I had used Parasite, Ghost Face would definitely have been poisoned. If that black-robed elder got angry, I'm afraid none of us would have survived."

Flander said, "Tang San considered things very thoroughly. It's fortunate you didn't use Parasite, or the consequences would have been unimaginable."

Elsewhere, Zhu Zhuqing rushed into Yu Xiaofeng's room and found him sleeping soundly. She immediately called out, "Brother Feng, something happened. Stop sleeping!"

Yu Xiaofeng yawned, opened his eyes, and looked at the anxious Zhu Zhuqing. "Weren't you training? What happened?"

Zhu Zhuqing sighed. "Come with me first. I'll explain on the way."

Yu Xiaofeng grabbed his coat, but Zhu Zhuqing seized his hand and pulled him outside. Overjoyed, Yu Xiaofeng listened to her account as they ran.

Yu Xiaofeng said, "So it was that brat. Looks like I went too easy on him last time. If I'd known, I should have beaten him for another incense-stick's worth of time."

By the time he finished speaking, the two had already reached the site of the battle. Yu Xiaofeng looked around and asked, "Where's that damned Ghost Face?"

Xiao Wu pouted and complained, "Ghost Face ran away as soon as he heard your name."

Yu Xiaofeng asked in confusion, "He ran? At least he knows what's good for him. Next time I see him, I'll make him pay."

"How are all of you?"

Ning Rongrong said, "Other than Boss Dai and Fatty, we're all fine. It's just that Zhu Zhuqing was harassed by that Ghost Face."

The moment Zhu Zhuqing thought about what Ghost Face had done to her... her face instantly turned red, and she buried her head in Ning Rongrong's chest.

Yu Xiaofeng jumped about in fury and cursed, "Cat Sister is mine! Ghost Face, just you wait! Next time, I'll skin you alive!"

As he spoke, he glanced at his left hand. That expression truly left everyone speechless...

Flander suddenly asked, "Xiaofeng, you've reached level forty?"

"What? Brother Feng is already level forty?"

Xiao Wu cried out in surprise.

Yu Xiaofeng smiled at Dean Flander. "Hehe, I broke through this afternoon, then fell asleep."

Flander nodded without saying anything. Tang San glanced at Yu Xiaofeng and said, "Congratulations on advancing further, Brother Feng."

Yu Xiaofeng slung an arm around Tang San's shoulders. "Little San, tell me honestly. Did my little sister-in-law get taken advantage of?"

Xiao Wu stepped forward and pounded Yu Xiaofeng with her little fists. Then she muttered, "I'm not his wife! Stupid Brother Feng, bad Brother Feng. Xiao Wu isn't talking to you anymore."

This disturbance drove Tang San and the others' desire for strength to a feverish level. Yu Xiaofeng exchanged a few simple words with Flander, then went with everyone to register at the spirit fighting arena before leaving alone.

Watching Yu Xiaofeng's departing figure, Zhu Zhuqing said, "The next time we meet, I definitely won't let you leave me so far behind."

After leaving Suotuo City, Old Wu came up behind Yu Xiaofeng and asked, "Are you ready?"

Yu Xiaofeng nodded. "How confident are you about what you said before?"

Old Wu pondered for a moment. "According to the scouts' reports, he will leave Spirit Hall within half a month at most."

"You should make your preparations as well. Otherwise, who knows what things will become."

Yu Xiaofeng frowned. "The clone and the original body are definitely worlds apart. Chen Hao might already be close to level sixty."

Yu Xiaofeng's words startled Old Wu. After all, that sounded a little too exaggerated.

"Let's go. The soul beast I'm looking for this time is somewhat special. I hope we can find it soon."

Yu Xiaofeng reminded him.

Old Wu accompanied Yu Xiaofeng toward the forest, while an unseen conspiracy gradually began to brew.

Spirit Hall

"Your Holiness the Pope, what is recorded in this book is absolutely true. Think about it—why are there almost no Body Spirits on the Douluo Continent?"

"Even when a Body Spirit appears, it only flashes into existence briefly before disappearing."

The old man reported to Qian Daoliu.

Qian Daoliu nodded. The book in his hand was covered in creases. As he looked at the ancient tome, a glint suddenly flashed through his eyes. He nodded and said, "You may leave."

Just after the old man departed, Ghost Douluo appeared in Qian Daoliu's room. Ghost Douluo asked doubtfully, "Your Holiness the Pope, you don't want me to investigate this, do you?"

Qian Daoliu nodded. "This force has been operating right under our noses, yet we have no idea what their goal is. If we want to unify the continent, we must at least understand our opponents."

"I think they'll be going after Xiaofeng very soon."

"Go."
