Yu Tianheng flew backward like a blue meteor, utterly disheveled.
The dragon scales on his right arm rapidly faded, turning back into a human arm.
The wound was covered in countless tiny sword marks, blood streaming out in rivulets.
Yu Tianheng's face was deathly pale as he gasped for breath, his eyes filled with bewilderment.
"I lost?"
"I possess the strongest beast spirit in the world, yet I was defeated so completely?"
All around them.
The Heaven Dou Royal Academy students watching from the sidelines stood frozen as though struck by lightning.
The previously noisy forest path was now so silent that a needle dropping to the ground could be heard.
Everyone stared at the white-clad figure, their eyes full of awe.
"That was the captain in his Dragon Transformation state."
"And he was defeated by a single sword strike."
"This Chen Feng didn't even use that black fourth Soul Ring."
Whispers quietly spread through the crowd.
Dugu Yan's beautiful eyes widened, her red lips parting slightly as she tightly clasped her hands before her.
Even Ye Lingling's normally cool gaze shimmered with astonishment, while towering waves surged within her heart.
That was the universally acknowledged strongest beast spirit on the continent.
And yet.
Before the Azure Lotus Sword, it had been utterly eclipsed.
Just what kind of terrifying existence was this Chen Feng?
Chen Feng calmly withdrew the Azure Lotus Sword.
Standing at the center of the storm, his white robes remained immaculate, without even a fallen leaf clinging to them.
Chen Feng stepped before Yu Tianheng and looked down at the once-arrogant captain from above.
"You lost."
His words were calm and held no mockery, yet they only made him seem more arrogant.
Yu Tianheng gritted his teeth and struggled to his feet.
As the heir of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, he was proud, but he was no sore loser.
"I can accept defeat."
"From today onward, you are the captain of the Imperial Dou Team. I will follow your orders."
Yu Tianheng took a golden badge symbolizing the captain's authority from his robes and offered it to Chen Feng.
Chen Feng could not even be bothered to glance at it. He merely turned away indifferently.
"I'm not interested in a troublesome position like captain. You should keep doing it."
With that, he strode forward and headed straight ahead.
Yu Tianheng froze in place, the hand holding the badge stiffening in midair.
"He doesn't want the captain's position?"
Yu Tianheng stared intently at the retreating white figure, when inspiration suddenly struck him.
"I understand!"
"A true peerless genius seeks the supreme heavenly path, the ultimate realm of becoming a god at Rank One Hundred. Why would he waste his attention on worldly power?"
"Leaving me as captain is to preserve my dignity, and to let me continue tempering myself so I won't be crushed by this setback."
"What broad-mindedness! What a profound realm!"
"I understand now!"
Yu Tianheng muttered to himself, blazing fighting spirit rekindling in his eyes.
Chen Feng, walking ahead, heard the commotion behind him and could not stop the corner of his mouth from twitching.
What weird nonsense is this guy imagining now?
I just think managing a team is too much trouble.
Chen Feng silently complained to himself.
However, his thoughts were no longer here.
Feeling the surging Soul Power endlessly coursing through his body, Chen Feng's heart was brimming with joy.
The Chat Group's system rewards were simply too absurd.
Merely increasing the group's activity had directly granted him the equivalent of five levels of innate Soul Power.
This rate of improvement was practically a miracle.
As long as he continued exposing Tang San and Yu Xiaogang's secrets in the group and kept its activity high, becoming a god was within reach.
Chen Feng strolled leisurely toward the depths of the academy.
The Imperial Academy students on both sides lowered their heads and voluntarily made way, opening up a wide path.
Every gaze directed at Chen Feng was filled with worship and fervor.
In this world, the strong would always possess the greatest privileges.
With absolute strength, Chen Feng had thoroughly conquered this group of proud noble students.
Yu Tianheng watched the gradually receding white-clad figure from behind and silently swore an oath.
"One day, I will definitely catch up to you!"
Meanwhile, at Shrek Academy outside Soto City.
Before the dilapidated wooden house, Yu Xiaogang stood with his hands behind his back, his expression grave as he looked at the Shrek group before him.
"After discussion, we will soon set out for Heaven Dou Royal Academy."
"Their mimicry training environment will allow your strength to improve to the greatest extent possible."
Upon hearing the news, a glint flashed through Dai Mubai's wicked eyes.
"Heaven Dou Royal Academy is the empire's top academy. There must be plenty of noble young ladies there."
Ma Hongjun chuckled even more lewdly, the flesh on his fat face trembling slightly.
"Great! We can finally leave this dump. The girls in a big city must be lovely."
Tang San secretly clenched his fists, his eyes full of anticipation.
"Better cultivation resources mean that my hidden weapons and the Hidden Weapons Compendium can be put to use sooner."
"As long as I'm strong enough, I can protect Xiao Wu better."
Thinking this, Tang San turned and looked around, a trace of confusion appearing in his eyes.
"Where's Xiao Wu?"
"Why don't I see Xiao Wu?"
Within a quiet forest.
Xiao Wu sat alone on a thick tree branch, staring blankly into the distance.
Although she had seen Tang San's various evil deeds from both his past and present lives in that mysterious Chat Group.
She knew Tang San was a selfish hypocrite who held others to standards he did not follow, and that he had even harbored murderous intent toward a gatekeeper as a child.
Yet all the moments they had spent together over the years, and Tang San's care and protection of her, remained vivid in her mind.
"Would Third Brother really become that kind of person?"
"Could those scenes have merely been some kind of illusion?"
"Perhaps... I should give him another chance?"
Xiao Wu struggled inwardly, her eyes full of conflict.
At that moment, the Chat Group in her mind flickered with light once more.
The group's discussion about martial spirit secrets and the Nine-Heart Begonia curse startled Xiao Wu.
This group leader seemed to truly know everything.
"If I ask the group leader, will I be able to get the truest answer?"
A trace of hope rose in Xiao Wu's heart.
But the group leader held such an exalted position. Why would he answer an ordinary member's question for no reason?
Remembering how Bibi Dong had received a reward increasing the age limit of her Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring for sharing a photo, Xiao Wu gritted her teeth.
"Whatever. I'll give it a try!"
Xiao Wu lowered her head and looked at her legs.
Because she frequently practiced flexibility techniques, her legs were long and straight.
Pink-and-white stockings tightly wrapped around their rounded contours, extending from her thighs down to her ankles and radiating youthful, healthy vitality.
Xiao Wu found a good angle and took a photo.
In the picture, her fair skin was faintly visible beneath the pink stockings, creating a lively and alluring beauty.
Taking a deep breath, Xiao Wu sent the photo to the group and tagged the group leader.
The very next moment, the group chat erupted completely.
Loves Carrots: [Group Leader, may I ask whether Tang San's future truly cannot be changed?] (image.jpg) Little Witch: [???] Little Witch: [She actually sent a photo!] My Cat Is White and Big: [???] Her Holiness the Pope: [Young people these days are getting bolder and bolder.] I Have No Mother: [Hmph. Although it isn't as pretty as mine, it is indeed quite fair.] Fragrant Fox: [Group Leader, hurry up and look at those beautiful legs!] Gentle Fire Dragon: [Girls these days are becoming harder and harder to understand.]
