Chen Feng, Like an Exiled Immortal; Heaven Dou Academy in Uproar!

"Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, Chen Feng."

Chen Feng answered with a gentle expression.

"So you are the heir of the Sword Dao Chen Clan. No wonder your swordsmanship is so extraordinary."

Shui Bing'er suddenly understood, and the admiration in her eyes deepened.

"Where is Young Master Chen Feng headed?"

Shui Bing'er asked softly.

"Heaven Dou Royal Academy."

Chen Feng answered truthfully.

"What a coincidence. Tianshui Academy will also be heading to Heaven Dou City in a few days for an academic exchange. We will surely meet again then."

Anticipation gleamed in Shui Bing'er's eyes, and there was a faint, barely perceptible delight in her voice.

"Then we shall meet again in Heaven Dou City."

Chen Feng nodded slightly.

[ Ding! Would you like to invite Shui Bing'er to join the Chat Group? ]

The system prompt rang out in Chen Feng's mind once more.

"Yes."

Chen Feng made his decision.

He looked at the blue-haired woman before him and cupped his hands slightly.

"Miss Shui, I still have important matters to attend to, so I will be leaving first."

Chen Feng spoke with a smile.

Shui Bing'er's face reddened slightly, and she nodded gently.

"Take care, Young Master Chen Feng. See you in Heaven Dou City."

Shui Bing'er replied softly.

Chen Feng turned around and strode toward the end of the official road.

His white robes were like snow, and the Azure Lotus Sword at his waist swayed lightly with his steps.

Shui Bing'er stood beneath the tree.

She kept watching Chen Feng's retreating figure.

Even after the figure in white had completely vanished from sight, Shui Bing'er still did not look away.

"To think there is such an extraordinary man in this world."

Shui Bing'er recalled what had just happened.

Countless enormous azure swords had surged forth like a rushing river.

Chen Feng's white robes had remained spotless amid the violent sword qi.

That calmness, that composure, had been deeply etched into Shui Bing'er's heart.

"What a blessing it would be to walk side by side with such a powerful person."

Shui Bing'er murmured softly.

Suddenly.

A faint, dark-blue glow lit up in the empty space before Shui Bing'er without warning.

A translucent rectangular blue panel appeared out of thin air.

[ Ding! The Chat Group has invited you to join. Would you like to accept? ]

A line of faintly glowing text appeared on the panel.

Shui Bing'er was startled.

She warily looked around, only to find no fluctuations of soul power nearby.

"What kind of soul skill is this?"

Shui Bing'er muttered to herself.

Looking at the blue panel before her, Shui Bing'er somehow found herself extending a slender finger and lightly tapping the "Join" option.

[ Please enter your nickname for the group chat. ]

The text on the panel changed once again.

Shui Bing'er pondered for a moment.

"Then I shall call myself Ice Snow Princess."

Shui Bing'er murmured softly as she entered those four words onto the panel.

At this moment.

Inside the Chat Group.

[ Notice: The group owner has invited "Ice Snow Princess" to join the group chat. ]

[ Group Owner: Welcome to the Chat Group, newcomer. ]

[ My Cat Is White and Big: Welcome! ]

[ Gentle Fire Dragon: Welcome! ]

[ Little Witch: Oh, another newcomer! Welcome, welcome! ]

[ Loves Carrots: Welcome, little sister. Everyone here is a good person. ]

Shui Bing'er stared at the continuously flashing text in her mind, utterly confused.

She tentatively communicated in the group with her thoughts.

[ Ice Snow Princess: May I ask where exactly this place is? And who are all of you? ]

[ Her Holiness the Pope: New little sister, I am Bibi Dong, Pope of Spirit Hall. ]

Upon seeing that line, Shui Bing'er's pupils abruptly contracted.

"Bibi Dong, Pope of Spirit Hall?"

Shui Bing'er cried out in shock.

Even Her Holiness the Pope, who stood above all others, was in this mysterious group chat?

Suppressing the shock in her heart, Shui Bing'er began reviewing the group's chat history.

Very soon.

Scenes from Tang San's past and present life played out in Shui Bing'er's mind.

In the Bashu Tang Sect, he had secretly learned the Mysterious Heaven Treasure Record.

He had privately forged Buddha's Fury Tang Lotus before finally jumping off a cliff.

At the age of six, outside the gates of Notting Academy, he had actually tried to assassinate an innocent gatekeeper with a sleeve arrow.

When Yu Xiaogang saw through his Twin Martial Souls, Tang San had revealed a vicious expression as murderous intent arose in his heart.

These scenes were incomparably real, not fabricated in the slightest.

Shui Bing'er was left dumbfounded.

"So Tang San is actually such a sinister, vicious, hypocritical, and petty scoundrel!"

Shui Bing'er felt deep reverence for the group owner's heaven-reaching methods.

"The omniscient and omnipotent group owner..."

A monstrous tide rose within Shui Bing'er's heart.

"He can pull all the continent's top experts into the same illusory space and even freely bestow such heaven-defying rewards as Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Rings to increase their cultivation."

"Even the gods of legend could never accomplish something like this!"

Shui Bing'er knew that she had encountered the greatest opportunity of her life.

Only those favored by fate could be invited into this sacred Chat Group.

"I must seize this opportunity and strive to reach the pinnacle of soul masters. Only then will I be worthy of following in Young Master Chen Feng's footsteps."

Shui Bing'er was filled with anticipation for the future.

Meanwhile.

Chen Feng strolled leisurely along the tree-lined avenue leading to Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

The activity value on the system panel kept rising.

With Shui Bing'er's arrival and the interactions among the group members, the activity level grew explosively.

Chen Feng smiled, feeling thoroughly pleased.

"Shui Bing'er's arrival has indeed made the group much more active."

Chen Feng calculated silently to himself.

"At this rate, the rewards from the next system settlement will definitely be even more generous."

Chen Feng toyed with the Azure Lotus Sword at his waist, full of confidence in his future cultivation.

Before long.

A magnificent academy gate appeared before Chen Feng.

Exquisite patterns symbolizing the Heaven Dou Imperial Family were carved into the towering white marble archway.

Chen Feng walked toward the gate.

"Stop!"

A gatekeeper in luxurious armor stepped forward and barred Chen Feng's path with a spear.

The gatekeeper glanced sideways at Chen Feng, sizing up his plain yet elegant white robes from head to toe, his face full of arrogance.

"This is Heaven Dou Royal Academy. Unauthorized persons are strictly forbidden from entering!"

The gatekeeper barked arrogantly.

Chen Feng remained calm and did not become angry at the gatekeeper's rudeness.

He reached into his robes and took out an exquisite invitation bearing the seal of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's leader, handing it over.

"I am Chen Feng. At Sect Leader Ning Fengzhi's request, I have come to train at the academy."

Chen Feng spoke indifferently.

The gatekeeper took the invitation and carefully examined the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's unique seal upon it.

After confirming that it was genuine, the gatekeeper tossed the invitation back into Chen Feng's hand.

"Go in."

The gatekeeper still held his chin high, showing not the slightest respect. Even as he let Chen Feng pass, his manner was full of disdain.

Chen Feng caught the invitation, and the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.

"Heaven Dou Royal Academy truly lives up to its reputation. Even a mere gatekeeper is this arrogant and conceited."

Chen Feng grumbled inwardly.

He shook his head, ignored the gatekeeper, and stepped through the academy gates.

At this moment.

On a quiet path within Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

Two beautiful figures were walking slowly side by side.

The woman on the left wore a form-fitting black dress that perfectly accentuated her tall, slender figure.

She had neat short black hair, and though her features were exquisite, she carried an icy aura that kept others at a distance.

She was Ye Lingling, the Nine-Heart Begonia Soul Master.
