Ye Lingling Joins the Group, Mute Little Sister?!

The lounge fell into dead silence.

Yu Tianheng and Yu Feng exchanged a glance, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes.

"Everyone got crushed?"

"Just how strong was that brat?"

The disciple who had brought the news swallowed hard and answered in a trembling voice.

"I heard he was a level forty-seven Assault-type Soul Ancestor."

Yu Tianheng's expression changed drastically as he pressed further.

"What about Yan and Lingling? Didn't they stop it?"

The disciple hesitated, lowering his head.

"Sister Yan and Senior Ye had been following Chen Feng the whole time. That was why everyone went looking for trouble with Chen Feng."

Yu Tianheng felt his mind buzz.

Dugu Yan was actually acting intimately with that newcomer.

And a newcomer had defeated a whole group of Imperial Academy disciples. If word got out, where would the academy's dignity go?

"Outrageous!"

Yu Tianheng snorted coldly and strode outside.

"Come on. It was time for this farce to end."

Chen Feng stood in the middle of the tree-lined path, his white robes purer than snow and untouched by dust.

The soul power attacks of dozens of Imperial Academy disciples crashed toward him like an avalanche.

Multicolored light illuminated the air, while the violent soul power fluctuations made the surrounding air feel thick.

Chen Feng remained calm. He brought two fingers of his right hand together like a sword and gave a light sweep.

Azure sword qi slowly bloomed in midair like an enormous azure lotus.

Every lotus petal was condensed from pure sword intent, radiating a sharpness that seemed capable of splitting heaven and earth.

With a thunderous boom, the overwhelming soul skills melted away like ice and snow the instant they touched the azure lotus.

A violent gale swept through the area, making the ancient trees lining the path sway violently as leaves filled the sky.

Before the dozens of disciples could even scream, they were sent flying by the unstoppable sword qi.

Dirt flew, and gravel scattered.

Dozens of elite disciples, usually arrogant beyond measure, now lay sprawled across the ground, coughing up blood in utter misery.

The entire scene fell silent enough to hear falling leaves.

The onlookers stood with their mouths agape. The arrogance and contempt in their eyes had long vanished, replaced by endless fear.

"One move..."

"He defeated everyone with just one move."

"That kind of strength was strong enough to drive people to despair. Could someone of the same age really reach such a level?"

Several disciples who had originally been eager to try quietly backed away. Their legs went weak, and they nearly fell.

Who would still dare entertain thoughts of challenging such a monster?

Shi Yan lay in a mud pit, gazing at the proud figure in white with bitterness filling his mouth.

He was completely convinced.

The gap between them was like a chasm, something numbers could never make up for.

Dugu Yan stood nearby, her beautiful eyes filled with astonishment.

"What kind of monster is this guy?"

"Grandpa always says I'm a genius, but compared to him, what am I?"

She muttered to herself, and a trace of admiration and something else quietly appeared in her gaze toward Chen Feng.

Even Ye Lingling's usually cold face showed a ripple of emotion.

Her lifeless eyes were fixed tightly on Chen Feng, trying to see through the man in white completely.

"Level forty-seven. Azure Lotus Sword."

She murmured softly, a faint, barely perceptible note of admiration in her cool voice.

Ye Lingling stepped forward and walked toward the people lying on the ground.

A pink begonia flower quietly appeared in her palm.

The begonia's petals were delicate and vibrant, radiating a gentle glow that made Ye Lingling resemble a fairy among the trees.

As Ye Lingling activated her soul power, countless pink petals began to dance through the air.

The petals landed precisely on the injured disciples, merging into their bodies and radiating abundant vitality.

The disciples' pale faces quickly regained color, their breathing steadied, and the wounds torn open by sword qi healed at a visible rate.

Ye Lingling stood amid the falling flowers, her white robes fluttering. It was a breathtaking sight, brimming with the breath of life.

Chen Feng stood to one side, quietly admiring the scene.

"Nine-Heart Begonia really is miraculous."

"No matter how severe the injury, as long as there was still a breath left, it could restore them completely in an instant."

"In a sense, it truly was Soul Land's strongest healing martial soul, the strongest support."

Chen Feng silently marveled to himself, holding Nine-Heart Begonia in extremely high regard.

At that moment, a pale blue screen appeared in Chen Feng's vision.

[Ding! A qualified female character, Ye Lingling, has been detected. Would you like to invite her to join the chat group?]

The corners of Chen Feng's lips lifted slightly into a smile.

"Yes."

Chen Feng made his choice in his mind.

At the same time, Ye Lingling, who had been about to withdraw her martial soul, suddenly stiffened.

A strange scene appeared before Ye Lingling's eyes.

It was a translucent screen shimmering with a faint glow.

[Ding! 'The All-Knowing and All-Powerful Group Owner' invites you to join the 'Chat Group.' Do you agree?]

Ye Lingling looked around in alarm.

Dugu Yan was checking Shi Yan's injuries and had not noticed anything unusual here.

"Could I be the only one who could see this?"

Ye Lingling was utterly shocked.

As the inheritor of Nine-Heart Begonia, she had naturally seen much, but what was happening before her completely surpassed her understanding.

With a hint of wariness and curiosity, Ye Lingling tentatively chose to agree with her thoughts.

[Please enter your group nickname.]

Seeing the prompt, Ye Lingling pursed her lips.

Because of her martial soul, she had become withdrawn and rarely interacted with others. At the academy, people often called her a mute behind her back.

"Mute Little Sister."

Ye Lingling silently recited the name in her heart.

[Ding! 'Mute Little Sister' has joined the chat group!]

Sensing the notification, Chen Feng immediately entered the group chat.

Group Owner: [Welcome, newcomer. Everyone, come out and greet her.]

The previously quiet chat group instantly became lively because of that message.

Loves Carrots: [Wow! Another new little sister? Welcome, welcome!]

Little Witch: [Hmph, Group Owner big brother is flirting with pretty girls outside again. Who is it this time?]

My Cat Is White and Big: [Welcome.]

Fragrant Fox: [Welcome, little sister. Hurry up and let big sister have a look.]

The atmosphere in the group was extremely lively.

However, beneath their apparent enthusiasm, these group members had all developed some wariness.

The Group Owner possessed absolute authority.

Not only could he invite people, he could also mute or kick them out at will.

Having such power over life and death in one person's hands gave all the female characters in the group a sense of crisis.

If they failed to curry favor with the Group Owner, then if they were kicked out one day, they would completely lose their chance to obtain god-tier rewards.

Her Majesty the Pope: [A newcomer joins the group, yet she does not pay respects to this pope?]

Bibi Dong's arrogant words shattered the harmony in the group.

As Ye Lingling watched the constantly scrolling text on the screen, her beautiful eyes widened further and further.

"Her Majesty the Pope?"

"Could it be that supreme existence from Spirit Hall?"

A towering wave surged in Ye Lingling's heart as she nervously typed a message.

Mute Little Sister: [Y-You... are you really Bibi Dong, the Pope of Spirit Hall?]
