Wang Dong'er

"Wow, Yu Tong really was becoming more and more like Spider-Man..."

Xu Feng sat in the stands, watching the petite figure in the Soul Fighting Arena with deep satisfaction. Although Huo Yutong had only a single lonely yellow Spirit Ring and a Soul Power Level of just sixteen, she had fought her way through round after round and forced her way into the quarterfinals.

This competition had gathered students from the entire Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy. Quite a few had Soul Power above level thirty, and some even possessed four Spirit Rings.

Yet Huo Yutong had stubbornly made it to the quarterfinals with just one Spirit Ring and the lowest Soul Power in the arena. And now, she was about to win.

The main reason was that her soul skills were simply absurd. Whether it was close-range fists and kicks, long-range Soul Tools, or impossible-to-guard-against mental attacks, whenever someone tried to attack her, a warning would sound in her mind beforehand.

Then, she only needed to shift slightly, take a gentle step back, or simply jump in place to effortlessly evade every deadly attack.

And once the Spider Silk fired from her External Soul Bone stuck to someone, it was difficult to break free. While dodging attacks, Huo Yutong continuously swung her hands, firing strand after strand of Spider Silk. Once she had completely restrained her enemy, she would swing her fist without hesitation and smash it hard into their head.

Xu Feng recalled the first time he had met Huo Yutong. Back then, she had been thin and tiny, her eyes filled with vigilance.

Who could have imagined that in just a few short months, that once frail little girl would become the Spider-Woman who made opponents tremble in fear within the Soul Fighting Arena?

In the arena, Huo Yutong's opponent was a burly upperclassman. Clearly driven somewhat frantic by her evasive ability, his attacks became faster and fiercer, yet he could not even touch the hem of her clothes.

Huo Yutong dodged the upperclassman's straight punch. At the same time, she flicked her right hand, and a strand of Spider Silk precisely wrapped around her opponent's left wrist.

Immediately afterward, she spun, firing another strand of Spider Silk from her left hand and binding his right ankle. The upperclassman stumbled several steps forward. Huo Yutong seized the chance to leap backward and widen the distance, exerting force with both hands as Spider Silk rained down like a heavenly net.

One strand, two strands, three strands... The Spider Silk wove together in midair into an impenetrable net, quickly wrapping her opponent tightly from head to toe.

In the end, he resembled a silkworm cocoon wrapped in a spiderweb, unable to move. He could only stare with unwilling eyes as he watched Huo Yutong approach step by step.

Huo Yutong walked before him, then suddenly raised her fist and delivered a clean, decisive punch straight at his head. With a muffled bang, the upperclassman immediately passed out.

The entire arena fell silent for a few seconds before erupting into deafening cheers. Standing at the center of the arena, Huo Yutong shook off the Spider Silk on her hands and waved goodbye to everyone.

"Still, I didn't expect her to come to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy."

Xu Feng was referring to Huo Yutong's opponent in the next match: Wang Dong'er, the widely known possessor of the Soul Tool Immunity Physique.

Forget using them—she could not even touch Soul Tools. Yet she had come to the Sun Moon Empire, which specialized in researching the soul guidance system. It was hard not to suspect that some kind of fate was at work here.

"Tang San, you still couldn't resist making a move?"

Xu Feng had never believed Wang Dong'er appearing in the Sun Moon Empire was a coincidence. At this time, in this place, she had appeared before him dressed as a girl—and she was wearing his favorite white stockings. It all seemed far too deliberate.

Even Meng Hongchen, who spent every day with him, knew nothing of this secret preference. He had hidden it deeply, yet Wang Dong'er seemed to have been born knowing exactly how to strike at his weak point.

The Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy's uniform policy had always been relaxed. There had never been any strict requirements for what female students wore. They could go bare-legged or wear stockings of any color; the academy would neither question nor interfere.

Meng Hongchen and Huo Yutong were both devoted wearers of black stockings. Meng Hongchen's preference for black was not because she had any particular aesthetic pursuit.

It was because she was overly well-nourished, making her legs look somewhat plump. Black stockings happened to create a slimming visual effect, making her legs appear longer and more slender.

As for Huo Yutong, her path into black stockings had been entirely forced upon her by Meng Hongchen. Because she had no money, Huo Yutong's fashion sense was disastrously terrible. She had only one standard when buying clothes: as long as she could wear them, they were fine.

Meng Hongchen truly could not stand watching any longer, so she directly took over Huo Yutong's wardrobe. From then on, Huo Yutong's style of dress unconsciously began to resemble Meng Hongchen's, and black stockings naturally became standard attire.

White stockings were the most demanding when it came to leg shape. Unlike black, they could not conceal flaws. They exposed every contour of the legs beneath the sunlight, allowing no room for carelessness.

Among the people Xu Feng knew, the only one truly suited to white stockings was Jiang Nannan, whom he had personally cultivated. Yet even Jiang Nannan had never worn white stockings with the same natural ease and perfect fit as Wang Dong'er.

Of course, Xu Feng had not made these guesses out of thin air, nor was he narcissistic enough to think the whole world revolved around him.

The reason he could reach such a conclusion was because of one key person: Wang Dong'er's roommate, the informant he had planted at her side.

According to the insider's report, before enrolling, Wang Dong'er had always worn ordinary short socks—plain cotton socks that only reached her ankles, utterly unremarkable.

But ever since entering the Sun Moon Royal Soul Guidance Academy, she had begun wearing over-the-knee socks, and only white ones.

They had also subtly asked whether she wanted to try other colors, such as black, but Wang Dong'er's reaction had been extraordinarily resistant. It was not an ordinary dislike, but an almost instinctive rejection.

How could a normal person have such an intense aversion to the color of socks? If Tang San had not intervened behind the scenes, that would be truly unbelievable.

Xu Feng was almost certain that Tang San had tampered with things in secret. The reason Tang San had not made Wang Dong'er disguise herself as a boy like in the original story and infiltrate the academy under the alias Wang Dong was simple: times had changed, so the strategy had to change as well.

He was now the crown prince of the Sun Moon Empire, noble in status and wielding immense power. Beautiful women were the one thing he lacked least at his side.

Using emotions to scheme against him would be far too difficult. Tang San knew very well what kind of beauties Xu Feng had not seen since childhood, what kind of tender affections he had not experienced.

The possibility of restraining him through such a stale method as feelings gradually developing over time was simply too low. So Tang San had chosen another method: beauty.

Not the kind of emotion that needed time to brew, but temptation that struck directly at the eyes. He used the beauty of Wang Dong'er, the God King's daughter, and that face capable of making any man's heart race, to draw Xu Feng's attention.

After all, no one besides Tang San, who watched him every day in the God Realm, could possibly have noticed a preference he had concealed so well.

That old fox must have observed him in the God Realm for a long time before discovering this secret, then meticulously designing all of this.

It had to be said, that guy was truly ruthless. He watched Xu Feng's preferences twenty-four hours a day, then completely imposed those preferences onto his own daughter just to create the most effective beauty-based seduction.

He completely disregarded his daughter's wishes, all to achieve his own goal. He truly treated his daughter as nothing more than a tool.
