Xiao Wu's Betrayal, Tang San's Despicable Shamelessness!

The awards ceremony ended.

The Imperial Team returned to the rest area.

Ye Lingling held the championship badge in her hands and looked at it over and over.

"This is the first time Lingling has won a division championship."

Yu Feng leaned against a chair.

"We never imagined we could win all twenty-seven matches."

Ao Siliuo nodded gently.

"Nor did we imagine that the captain could single-handedly crush most of the division."

Yu Tianheng looked at Chen Feng.

"Next comes the finals in Spirit City."

"Spirit Hall's Golden Generation will be the true formidable enemy."

Dugu Yan sat beside Chen Feng.

"The Golden Generation has three Soul Kings."

"Hu Liena and Xie Yue can also use a martial soul fusion skill."

"In the Demon Charm state, the two of them are strong enough to suppress a Soul Emperor."

Chen Feng picked up the clear tea on the table.

"Soul power level cannot determine every outcome."

Yu Tianheng nodded seriously.

"I understand."

"During the coming period, the Imperial Team will continue strengthening our coordination."

The door to the lounge was pushed open.

Ning Rongrong walked in carrying a new food box.

Her light green team uniform had already been changed into a long dress.

Her white stockings stepped across the floor, and her skirt swayed gently with each step.

"Brother Chen Feng."

"Congratulations on winning the championship!"

Dugu Yan looked at the familiar food box.

"Osmanthus cakes again?"

Ning Rongrong placed the food box on the table.

"This time, there are lotus pastries too."

"Rongrong had the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect send them over."

Dugu Yan reached out, preparing to take one.

Ning Rongrong immediately pulled the food box in front of herself.

"Sister Yan Yan can't take one first."

"Why not?"

"Brother Chen Feng is the champion."

"Of course Brother Chen Feng should eat first."

Chen Feng took a lotus pastry from the food box.

The flaky crust was shaped like an azure lotus.

A cyan sugar pearl decorated its center.

"It looks good."

Ning Rongrong revealed a delighted expression.

"Rongrong personally chose the design."

"The sect's chefs tried three times before they managed to make it look like an azure lotus."

Chen Feng took a bite.

"It tastes good too."

Ning Rongrong immediately pushed the remaining lotus pastries toward him.

"Then these are all for Brother Chen Feng."

Dugu Yan took one from the other side.

"Too sweet."

"If Sister Yan Yan thinks they're sweet, then don't eat them."

"Yan Yan is only tasting one for Chen Feng."

"You've already taken a second one."

The two quickly began arguing over the food box.

Chen Feng did not join in.

A system notification had already sounded in his mind.

[Ding!]

[The host has led Heaven Dou Royal Academy to win the division championship.]

[Chat Group activity has reached the required stage.]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining one Soul Power Fruit.]

[Congratulations to the host for gaining five thousand years to the age of all Soul Rings.]

[Congratulations to the host for obtaining the third level of the Azure Lotus Sword Art, Azure Lotus Sword Domain.]

A cyan Soul Power Fruit appeared inside his storage soul tool.

The five thousand years of Soul Ring age directly fused into his five Soul Rings.

The first three purple Soul Rings trembled simultaneously.

The dense purple glow swiftly turned into a profound black.

The black of the fourth Soul Ring became even heavier.

The golden patterns on the hundred-thousand-year fifth Soul Ring also became clearer.

Three black, one black, one red.

Chen Feng's first four Soul Rings had all reached more than ten thousand years.

Information regarding the third level of the Azure Lotus Sword Art followed immediately.

The Azure Lotus Sword Domain was not a soul skill.

It fused Azure Lotus Sword Intent with his own soul power, forming a domain belonging solely to sword soul masters.

Within the Sword Domain.

Everything could become a sword.

Chen Feng no longer needed to condense sword phantoms in advance.

Grass, trees, fallen leaves, dust, even the soul power released by his opponents could all be temporarily controlled by sword intent.

The fifth soul skill, Azure Lotus Myriad Forms, primarily suppressed life force and plant martial souls.

The Azure Lotus Sword Domain, on the other hand, was pure sword-path slaughter.

If the two domains were unfolded at the same time, their power would rise even further.

Chen Feng looked at the two women still fighting over the pastries.

"I'll leave for a while first."

Ning Rongrong immediately stopped moving.

"Brother Chen Feng, aren't you eating anymore?"

"Save the rest."

Dugu Yan put the food box into her soul tool.

"Yan Yan will keep it for you."

Ning Rongrong reached out and grabbed the edge of the food box.

"This is Rongrong's soul tool."

"Why should Sister Yan Yan keep it?"

Chen Feng ignored the two women's argument.

His white-clad figure had already left the lounge.

The back mountain.

The Soul Power Fruit melted the moment it entered his mouth.

Pure energy flowed into his dantian.

Level fifty-five soul power swiftly broke through the barrier.

Level fifty-six.

Chen Feng opened his eyes.

Four black and one red, five Soul Rings emerged in sequence.

The pressure of Ten-Thousand-Year Spirit Rings spread outward.

The branches and leaves in the forest stopped swaying at the same time.

The Azure Lotus Sword hovered before him.

Chen Feng extended his right hand.

"Azure Lotus Sword Domain."

Golden-cyan sword intent rapidly spread outward beneath his feet.

Within several hundred meters.

Every fallen leaf was covered by sword intent.

With a thought from Chen Feng.

More than ten thousand fallen leaves rose into the air at once.

Golden-cyan radiance lit along the leaves' edges.

A distant mountain rock was lightly brushed by one of the leaves.

The hard stone split down the middle.

The cut was smooth.

Chen Feng raised his hand and drew them in.

More than ten thousand fallen leaves revolved around the Azure Lotus Sword.

A nine-layered cyan sword lotus slowly bloomed above the forest.

"Everything can become a sword."

"This is the Azure Lotus Sword Domain."

Inside the Chat Group.

Ning Rongrong sent out a photo of the Heaven Dou Division championship badge.

Little Witch: [Brother Chen Feng won the Heaven Dou Division championship!]

Little Witch: [Twenty-seven victories without a single defeat!]

Poison Fairy: [Yan Yan has one of these badges too.]

Poison Fairy: [image.jpg]

Fiery Chili Pepper: [Blazing Fire Academy only took third place.]

Ice Snow Princess: [Tianshui Academy ranked fourth.]

My Cat Is White and Big: [Shrek Academy came in fifth.]

Fragrant Fox: [The top five teams in the Heaven Dou Division will all come to Spirit City.]

Fragrant Fox: [That means quite a few people in the group can meet during the finals.]

Little Witch: [I'll be the first to find Brother Chen Feng!]

Poison Fairy: [Chen Feng and Yan Yan will be riding in the same carriage.]

Poison Fairy: [Take your time looking for him after you get off.]

Little Witch: [I can ride in the Imperial Academy's carriage too!]

Poison Fairy: [You are a competing member of Shrek Academy.]

Poison Fairy: [You cannot casually switch teams during the tournament.]

Ning Rongrong sat in the Blue Tyrant Academy dormitory.

Seeing those words, she gently bit her red lip.

Little Witch: [Once the Soul Master Tournament ends, I'll leave.]

My Cat Is White and Big: [Have you already decided?]

Little Witch: [I've decided.]

Little Witch: [That place no longer suits me.]

Loves Carrots: [Xiao Wu doesn't want to stay either.]

The Chat Group fell quiet for a moment.

Zhu Zhuqing looked toward the bed opposite hers.

Xiao Wu was sitting by the window.

Her pink dress draped over the side of her legs.

The relationship between her and Tang San had grown increasingly distant.

My Cat Is White and Big: [Then where are you planning to go?]

Loves Carrots: [I'll think about it after the tournament ends.]

Her Holiness the Pope: [A Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beast has come to Spirit City.]

Her Holiness the Pope: [You have quite the nerve.]

Xiao Wu's face turned slightly pale when she saw Bibi Dong's message.

Loves Carrots: [The Group Leader said that the future can be changed.]

Her Holiness the Pope: [If I wished to capture you, once you entered Spirit City, you would have no chance to escape.]

Group Leader: [Chat Group members must not hunt one another.]

Group Leader: [The Pope should remember that rule.]

Inside the Papal Palace.

Bibi Dong looked at the message sent by the Group Leader.

She had indeed considered Xiao Wu's Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring.

But the Chat Group's existence was more important than a single Hundred-Thousand-Year Spirit Ring.

The Jade Phosphor Dragon Emperor's evolution.

A Yin's recondensation of her hundred-thousand-year essence.

And Chen Feng's repeated, unreasonable breakthroughs.

All these things proved that the Group Leader possessed methods far beyond those of a Titled Douluo.

Offending the Group Leader just to hunt Xiao Wu was clearly not worth it.

Her Holiness the Pope: [Of course I remember.]

Her Holiness the Pope: [As long as she does not provoke Spirit Hall, I will not attack her.]

Loves Carrots: [Thank you, Group Leader.]

Chen Feng watched the group chat without speaking further.

The greatest danger Xiao Wu faced in participating in the finals had been temporarily resolved.

Even if Bibi Dong changed her mind, Chen Feng could use the Azure Lotus Sword to protect Xiao Wu.

Huo Wu sent a photograph.

In the photograph.

She stood on Blazing Fire Academy's training grounds.

A fist-sized ball of flame hovered above her palm.

The flame's edges were extremely steady, without a single spark leaking out.

Fiery Chili Pepper: [I can already compress the flames to this degree.]

Fiery Chili Pepper: [Group Leader, does this mean I have gained control of my heart?]

Poison Fairy: [Why are you asking the Group Leader about practicing flames?]

Fiery Chili Pepper: [The Group Leader was the one who guided me.]

Little Witch: [Brother Group Leader only said one sentence, and the new little sister mastered it already?]

Fiery Chili Pepper: [That sentence was very useful.]

Fragrant Fox: [Your flame control is quite good.]

Fragrant Fox: [But you are still far from true ultimate control.]

Fiery Chili Pepper: [Are you a fire-attribute Spirit Master too?]

Fragrant Fox: [No.]

Fragrant Fox: [Spirit Hall has many fire-attribute Spirit Masters.]

Her Holiness the Pope: [Nana is right.]

Her Holiness the Pope: [Huo Wu, if you are willing to join Spirit Hall, I can arrange for a Titled Douluo to personally instruct you.]

Huo Wu looked at the message, her expression shifting slightly.

Personal instruction from a Titled Douluo.

Such terms were enough to make most Spirit Masters agree at once.

Fiery Chili Pepper: [Thank you, Your Holiness.]

Fiery Chili Pepper: [For now, I have no plans to leave Blazing Fire Academy.]

I Have No Mother: [Someone failed to recruit the newcomer.]

Her Holiness the Pope: [Spirit Hall welcomes talented people from all over the world.]

I Have No Mother: [That certainly sounds nice.]

Her Holiness the Pope: [Must you oppose me?]

I Have No Mother: [I am merely telling the truth.]

Hu Liena promptly sent a photograph of Spirit City.

The magnificent city walls gleamed white beneath the sunlight.

In the distance, the Papal Palace stood atop a mountain peak.

Fragrant Fox: [Everyone.]

Fragrant Fox: [This is Spirit City.]

Little Witch: [Fox Sister, wait for us.]

Poison Fairy: [The Imperial Team will leave with the championship.]

Her Holiness the Pope: [The three Soul Bones have already been prepared.]

Her Holiness the Pope: [If Chen Feng wishes to obtain them, then come to Spirit City and prove himself.]

Group Leader: [He will go.]

Her Holiness the Pope: [The Group Leader seems to know Chen Feng very well.]

The Chat Group fell silent again for a moment.

Dugu Yan looked at those words, and a question arose in her heart as well.

Whenever the Group Leader mentioned Chen Feng, the Group Leader was always utterly certain.

The matter of the Icefire Yin-Yang Well had also been arranged in advance by the Group Leader for Chen Feng to resolve.

A Yin immediately sent a message.

My Son Isn't a Bastard: [The Group Leader knows the future.]

My Son Isn't a Bastard: [It is not strange for the Group Leader to know Chen Feng's choices.]

Her Holiness the Pope: [Indeed.]

Poison Fairy: [Sister A Yin is right.]

Chen Feng looked at A Yin's explanation and said nothing.

Within the Icefire Yin-Yang Well.

The Blue Silver Emperor's leaves swayed gently.

A Yin still guarded the secret known only to her.

Three days later.

Outside Heaven Dou City.

The fifteen qualifying teams had already gathered.

The Heaven Dou Empire dispatched the Imperial Knights to escort the participating academies all the way to Spirit City.

The Imperial Team's carriage was at the front of the convoy.

Chen Feng leaned against one side of the carriage.

The Azure Lotus Sword lay across his knees.

His right hand rested lightly on its hilt.

Dugu Yan sat opposite him.

Her purple dress draped over the edge of the seat, while black stockings wrapped around her crossed legs.

Ye Lingling sat beside her.

"It will take around ten days to travel from Heaven Dou City to Spirit City."

Dugu Yan looked at the white-clad man cultivating with his eyes closed.

"Are you planning to cultivate like this the entire way?"

Chen Feng opened his eyes.

"Sword cultivation is not limited by location."

Dugu Yan rose and sat beside him.

"We just left Heaven Dou City, and Yanyan is already bored."

"You can talk to Lingling."

Ye Lingling immediately shook her head.

"Lingling wants to read."

Dugu Yan picked up the fruit plate beside her.

"You can play chess with Yanyan."

Chen Feng glanced at the chessboard.

"Fine."

The purple-haired woman immediately placed the chessboard between them.

Half an hour later.

Dugu Yan stared at the black pieces that had nowhere left to retreat.

"One more game."

"You have already lost three games."

"Yanyan was not serious just now."

Ye Lingling glanced at the two of them over the top of her book.

"Big Sister Yanyan said the same thing after the first game."

Dugu Yan lightly glared at her.

"Lingling, keep reading."

Ye Lingling lowered her head.

Yet there was a little more amusement at the corners of her lips.

In the middle of the convoy.

Blue Tyrant Academy's carriage rolled forward slowly.

Xiao Wu sat by the window.

Ning Rongrong and Zhu Zhuqing sat on the other side.

Tang San sat alone in a corner of the carriage.

Since the opening match ended, Xiao Wu had rarely taken the initiative to speak with him.

Tang San had tried several times to approach her, but Xiao Wu avoided him every time.

At this moment.

He finally could not hold back any longer.

"Xiao Wu."

"After the finals are over, let's go back to Holy Soul Village together and take a look."

Xiao Wu looked out the window.

"I don't want to go."

Tang San's brows furrowed slightly.

"That is where we grew up together."

"You always wanted to go back and see it before."

Xiao Wu turned her head.

"Before was before."

"Now is now."

Tang San's fingers resting on his knee slowly tightened.

"Are you still bothered by what happened in the opening match?"

"I already explained it."

"At the time, I only wanted to restore Shrek's honor."

Ning Rongrong closed the book in her hands.

"The referee had already declared the match over."

"You bypassed the referee and launched a sneak attack on Brother Chen Feng. That has nothing to do with honor."

Tang San looked at Ning Rongrong.

"Rongrong."

"You are a member of Blue Tyrant Academy now."

"Why do you speak for the opponent every time?"

Ning Rongrong lifted her chin slightly.

"Wrong is wrong."

"Whether Brother Chen Feng is an opponent will not change that."

Zhu Zhuqing looked at Tang San.

"Attacking after the match ended did indeed violate the rules."

Tang San's expression grew increasingly unpleasant.

"Xiao Wu."

"Do you think so too?"

Xiao Wu nodded gently.

"Yes."
