Tang Feng's Terrifying Strength, Crushing the Entire Arena!

"Medicine sent from the academy infirmary."

Ye Lingling pushed the porcelain bowl toward him.

"You didn't go pick it up after today's match."

"I wasn't injured."

"Recovering Soul Power still requires recuperation."

Tang Feng picked up the porcelain bowl.

The medicinal liquid tasted slightly bitter upon entering his mouth.

Ye Lingling took a small dish of candied fruit from the side and placed it within his reach.

"Eat one."

"I don't need to."

"The medicine is very bitter."

"It's fine."

Ye Lingling looked at him.

"You say that every time."

Tang Feng picked up a piece of candied fruit and put it into his mouth.

The sweetness suppressed the bitterness of the medicinal liquid.

Ye Lingling lowered her eyes, a hint of a smile appearing at the corners of her lips.

"Isn't this much better?"

"Mn."

"That's good."

She stood up and took away the empty bowl.

Just as she walked two steps, Ye Lingling's footsteps suddenly stopped.

Tang Feng raised his eyes to look at her.

"Something else?"

"Tonight, can I sit here for a while?"

"Yes."

Ye Lingling returned to the desk.

She did not continue cultivating, just quietly sitting across from him.

The moonlight outside the window spilled into the room.

The light blue long dress spread out by the edge of the chair, the hem of the skirt shifting gently with the night breeze.

Tang Feng took out the Soul Power Record Book, lowering his head to review today's combat records.

Ye Lingling watched him for a while.

"Aren't you tired?"

"It's all right."

"After the match ended, you checked Yu Feng's flight path and recorded Dugu Yan's Soul Power consumption."

"This is the captain's duty."

"Then the captain should also rest."

Tang Feng flipped a page.

"I will rest."

"When?"

"Now."

After he finished speaking, he closed the record book.

Ye Lingling was slightly stunned.

She hadn't expected Tang Feng to actually listen.

"Then lie down."

Tang Feng looked at the bed in the room.

"I'll meditate."

"Meditation doesn't count as rest."

"For a Spirit Master, it does."

"You always have a reason."

Ye Lingling walked to the side of the bed and turned back the corner of the quilt.

She turned her head.

"Tonight you'll sleep here."

Tang Feng didn't move.

Ye Lingling looked at him.

"What's wrong?"

"You're still here."

"I can sit by the side."

"That's inconvenient."

"How is it inconvenient?"

Tang Feng didn't answer.

Ye Lingling smoothed out the quilt, then sat on the edge of the bed.

She raised her hand and patted the spot beside her.

"Come over."

Tang Feng got up and walked to the bedside.

Ye Lingling moved inward a little, leaving an empty spot for him.

The two of them lay side by side.

The bed was not wide.

Tang Feng's arm pressed against her sleeve, and through a layer of soft fabric, he could feel her body temperature.

Ye Lingling pulled the quilt up to both of their chests.

She turned on her side to face Tang Feng.

"Today's match, I saw it."

"Which match?"

"The one with Skywater Academy."

"Their coordination is not bad."

"Shui Bing'er's control is also very strong."

"But she didn't have the chance to deploy her domain."

Ye Lingling nodded gently.

"Because you blocked her retreat route in advance."

"Mn."

"You can always see the moves others haven't made yet."

"The Blue Silver Domain can sense changes in Soul Power."

"But you will still get hurt."

Ye Lingling's gaze landed on his arm.

"This shows you aren't immune to getting hurt either."

"I know."

"Next time don't block the front alone."

"Someone needs healing."

Ye Lingling pressed her lips together.

"I'm not talking about that."

"Then what is it?"

"I don't want to see you get hurt."

The room quieted down.

Moonlight fell on her eyelashes.

After Ye Lingling finished speaking, she turned her face to the other side.

"You don't have to answer."

Tang Feng looked at her back.

"I'll pay attention."

Ye Lingling's fingers gently curled inward.

"Just remember it."

Tang Feng closed his eyes.

Ye Lingling beside him didn't speak again either.

After a while, her breathing gradually became steady.

Tang Feng opened his eyes.

Ye Lingling was already asleep.

Her long hair was scattered across the pillow, a few strands falling against the side of her face.

Tang Feng reached out to brush them away for her.

Ye Lingling did not wake up, only moving a little closer to his side.

Her forehead touched Tang Feng's shoulder.

Tang Feng stopped his movement.

Ye Lingling's hand reached out from under the quilt and gently grabbed his sleeve.

Her fingertips didn't exert any force.

Yet they didn't let go.

Tang Feng glanced at her hand.

He did not pull his sleeve back.

The night outside the window gradually grew quiet.

Ye Lingling leaned beside him, sleeping very peacefully.

Tang Feng closed his eyes and didn't cultivate anymore either.

That night, the two of them slept in the same bed just like that.

Until the sky grew slightly bright, Ye Lingling still hadn't woken up.

Early morning.

Ye Lingling opened her eyes.

Her forehead was still resting against Tang Feng's shoulder, her fingers lightly resting on his sleeve.

The sky outside the window was already bright.

Ye Lingling raised her line of sight and saw that Tang Feng was sitting by the bedside.

He hadn't slept.

"You didn't move all night?"

"I moved."

"When?"

"When I was pulling the quilt over you."

Ye Lingling lowered her head to look at the corner of the quilt between them.

Only then did she realize that her hand was still grasping Tang Feng's sleeve.

Her fingertips slowly relaxed.

"After I fell asleep last night, did I say anything?"

"You said my name."

Ye Lingling's cheeks bloomed with a shallow red.

"And what else?"

"Nothing else."

She sat up, her long hair sliding down from her shoulder.

"You remember clearly enough."

"You asked yourself."

Ye Lingling looked at him, recalling last night's conversation, and then looked away.

"Are you still training today?"

"Yes."

"You just finished a match yesterday, and you're continuing today?"

"Matches and training don't conflict."

Ye Lingling lifted the quilt and got out of bed.

The light blue long dress hung by her feet, the hem of the garment bearing a few creases.

She raised a hand to smooth out the skirt corner, then looked back at Tang Feng.

"Then I'll go with you."

You can rest.

I have already rested.

Tang Feng got up and handed the water cup on the table to her.

Drink some water first.

Ye Lingling took the cup.

A trace of warmth still lingered on the cup wall.

She lowered her head to take a sip, then raised her eyes to look at Tang Feng.

Are you like this with everyone?

Like what?

Healing others after they are hurt, pouring water in the morning, and taking care of the team after a match ends.

This is a captain's duty.

Ye Lingling put down the water cup.

What if I wasn't a member of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy team?

Tang Feng looked at her.

I would still pour the water.

Her fingers lingered on the rim of the cup.

After a moment, Ye Lingling nodded slightly.

Remember what you said.

The two of them walked out of the room.

Outside the training ground, Dugu Yan was already waiting there.

She wore a silver-white training uniform, her dark green long hair tied back behind her head.

Seeing Ye Lingling walk out from beside Tang Feng, her gaze lingered between the two of them for a fraction of a second.

How did the captain rest last night?

Not bad.

Tang Feng answered.

Dugu Yan looked at Ye Lingling.

And Lingling?

Also not bad.

Ye Lingling raised a hand to straighten her skirt.

Dugu Yan did not continue to press.

She walked up to Tang Feng and reached out to button the collar of his uniform.

Is today's training arranged?

Check yesterday's coordination first.

Skywater Academy has already lost, and we still need to check?

Precisely because we won too fast, we must check.

Dugu Yan raised her eyes to look at him.

Where do you think we fell short?

The Shi Family Brothers' positional switch was a beat too slow.

When Yu Feng made his second dive, his landing spot was off.

Yu Tianheng pursued too deeply.

After listening, Dugu Yan bit her lip slightly.

And what about me?

The poison mist spread too fast.

Shui Bing'er's water curtain was driven by you, almost affecting Yu Tianheng.

Dugu Yan withdrew her hand.

I knew it.

Control the range next time.

The captain really won't say a single nice word.

You all did very well.

Dugu Yan looked at him for a moment.

Does that one count?

It counts.

Her expression finally relaxed.

Ye Lingling stood to the side, hearing the conversation between the two clearly.

She did not chime in, simply raising a hand to summon the Nine-Hearted Begonia.

The white flower bloomed quietly in her palm.

Heal first.

No one was injured yesterday.

Spirit power consumption must also be recovered.

Ye Lingling divided her spirit power into several strands of white light, which fell upon each of them respectively.

Tang Feng stood at the very front.

He sensed the flow of spirit power within his teammates' bodies, not interrupting the healing.

Dugu Yan glanced at him.

Is today's match still going on?

It continues.

Who are we facing next?

There are no arrangements for now.

Tang Feng flipped through the match schedule records.

Wait for the draw results.

After training began, the six team members entered the arena one by one.

Tang Feng stood at the edge, re-analyzing yesterday's battle against Skywater Academy.

He did not repeat the details of every single spirit ability.

He only pointed out the gaps that appeared in the team's offense.

When Shui Bing'er was forced to the edge, Yu Tianheng should not have rushed to pursue her immediately.

Yu Tianheng stopped in his tracks.

She had no way out at that time.

She still had one Repelling Ice Ring left.

If she released that spirit ability, Dugu Yan's poison mist would have been blasted away.

Yu Tianheng was silent for a moment.

Understood.

Tang Feng turned to Dugu Yan.

You should have sealed her hands first.

Dugu Yan raised a hand and released a wisp of poison mist.

The dark green current condensed into a thin thread in midair, then stopped just in front of her palm.

Like this?

A breath faster.

The poison thread shot forward abruptly.

Tang Feng raised a hand.

A dark blue vine rose from the ground, intercepting the poison thread halfway.

If the opponent discovers it in advance, your control will be interrupted.

Dugu Yan withdrew the poison mist.

Again.

She did not complain.

Outside the training ground.

A pale blue figure stopped at the end of the corridor.

Shui Bing'er stood there, accompanied by Xue Wu and members of Skywater Academy.

She had changed out of her match uniform today, wearing a light blue long dress.

Her silver-blue hair hung down behind her shoulders, the tips swaying gently with the morning breeze.

Shui Bing'er.

Xue Wu looked toward the training ground.

We've already lost, do we still need to go find him?

I want to confirm something.

Shui Bing'er looked at Tang Feng in the arena.

From the beginning to the end of yesterday's match, they never got to execute their complete Martial Soul Fusion Skill.

It was not because they had not prepared.

It was because Tang Feng left them no time to prepare.

His vines had sealed off every single route.

His domain had seen through their spirit power changes in advance.

The seven people of Skywater Academy had not even managed to force out his Sixth Spirit Ability.

This gap was something Shui Bing'er still had not sorted out even now.

Tang Feng seemed to sense the gaze from the corridor.

He turned around.

Shui Bing'er and he looked at each other across the training ground.

Dugu Yan walked to Tang Feng's side.

The people from Skywater Academy are here.

I see them.

Shui Bing'er led Xue Wu into the training ground.

She stopped in front of Tang Feng.

In yesterday's match, I lost quite thoroughly.

Mm.

Xue Wu glanced at Tang Feng.

Can you use one fewer word when you answer?

Shui Bing'er raised a hand to stop her.

I want to ask him.

Xue Wu had no choice but to shut her mouth.

Shui Bing'er's gaze fell to Tang Feng's feet.

The six spirit rings still had not appeared.

Yesterday, how many spirit abilities did you use?

Three.

The third spirit ability created vine shadows.

The second spirit ability was responsible for binding.

And the first spirit ability?

Attribute transformation.

Shui Bing'er's fingers tightened slightly.

She had already guessed the answer.

You did not use your sixth spirit ability.

There was no need.

When these words fell, everyone from Skywater Academy fell completely silent.

In yesterday's match, they had already exhausted all their coordination.

Ice Ring Armor.

Repelling Ice Ring.

Ice Phoenix Dance.

Not a single spirit ability had been held back.

Yet Tang Feng had only used three spirit abilities to rob Skywater Academy of any chance to continue fighting.

Shui Bing'er looked at him.

For the first time, she clearly felt that rank 62 spirit power was not Tang Feng's true limit.

What if we had completed the Martial Soul Fusion Skill in advance yesterday?

You would not have had the chance to complete it.

What if you had?

Tang Feng raised his eyes to look at her.

"I will attack you first."

Shui Bing'er paused slightly.

"Why?"

"You are the control core."

"As long as you are unable to act, the Martial Soul Fusion Skill cannot be completed."

Shui Bing'er looked at the dark blue traces remaining on the training ground.

Tang Feng's judgment was direct.

There was no probing.

Neither did he leave any leeway for his opponent.

She was silent for a moment before speaking again:

"In the next match, I won't let you get close so easily."

"Understood."

"I will also complete the Martial Soul Fusion Skill in advance."

"Then prepare in advance."

Shui Bing'er looked at his calm expression.

She found no contempt in it.

Tang Feng was merely stating a result.

"You are very confident."

"I know what I am capable of doing."

Shui Bing'er's gaze lingered on him.

"I will remember today."

Dugu Yan stood to the side, raising her hand to link her arm with Tang Feng's.

Her fingertips pressed against his wrist through the sleeve of his uniform.

"Just remember it."

Shui Bing'er looked at Dugu Yan.

"Your coordination is also very strong."

"Of course."

Dugu Yan lifted her chin.

"However, if we fight again, I will let the poison mist seal off your landing point in advance."

Shui Bing'er nodded.

"I will avoid it."

"I will catch up."

The gazes of the two intersected in mid-air.

A moment later, Shui Bing'er looked back at Tang Feng.

"The next time we meet, I hope you will use your Sixth Spirit Ability."

Tang Feng did not answer.

Shui Bing'er waited for a moment before turning and walking toward the corridor.

Xue Wu followed behind her.

After taking a few steps, Xue Wu looked back at Tang Feng.

"Shui Bing'er, do you really plan to continue challenging him?"

"Mn."

"Knowing you'll lose?"

"Losing once doesn't mean we will lose forever."

Shui Bing'er stopped at the edge of the corridor.

She looked up at the flag of Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

In yesterday's match, they lost thoroughly.

Yet Shui Bing'er had already memorized Tang Feng's fighting style.

She also remembered the two striking crimson-red lights among those six Spirit Rings.

She withdrew her gaze.

"Next time, I will make him take it seriously."

Inside the training ground.

Tang Feng watched the direction Skywater Academy left.

Dugu Yan was still linking her arm with his, not letting go.

"Do you think she can do it?"

"She will improve."

"Do you value her a lot?"

"Her control ability is not bad."

Dugu Yan's fingers pressed lightly against his wrist.

"That's not what I asked."

Tang Feng looked at her.

Dugu Yan met his gaze for a moment, then looked away.

"Forget it."

"Continue training."

Tang Feng nodded.

"Alright."

Dugu Yan raised her head again.

"Next time, I won't let Shui Bing'er make the first move."

She turned and walked toward the center of the training ground.

Emerald Green Poison Mist slowly rose from her palm.

This time, the poison mist did not spread outward.

Instead, it condensed into a thin line, pointing straight at the wooden stakes in the distance.

Tang Feng stood at the edge of the field.

"Begin."
