Instant Kill

"Why don't we go back first and wait for Nalan Chenfeng to return..."

Liu Fei, who was standing next to Liu Qing, glanced at Han Yue and no longer felt jealous. She whispered.

She admires the strong, but she prefers those with potential. Cheng Yue, a seasoned student, is far inferior to Nalan Chenfeng, and she wouldn't even look at Han Yue, let alone him.

"Even if Nalan Chenfeng comes back, it won't be easy to resolve this problem. That's Nine-Star Dou Ling..."

"Let's not go out. Let's see if the academy elders will show up later. Those guys can't stay here forever."

Lin Yan glanced at the people around Cheng Yue, his voice carrying a hint of suppressed anger.

These old students are truly despicable. If he had the same amount of time to cultivate, he would definitely beat them to their knees and make them call him grandpa.

"Looks like we've returned just in time."

Just as Han Yue and the others were filled with helplessness, a clear and familiar voice came from the sky.

Everyone looked up and saw a streak of purple light flying across the sky, its dark purple wings particularly striking in the sunlight.

Nalan Chenfeng!

Upon seeing the newcomers, the freshmen immediately erupted in cheers, and the eyes of many shone brighter.

Han Yue blinked her clear, beautiful eyes, her tense face softening slightly, but then turning into worry.

She knew that Nalan Chenfeng was very strong, but Cheng Yue had cultivated for many years and ranked third on the Strong Ranking, already Nine-Star Dou Ling.

With this level of strength, even if Nalan Chenfeng possesses Flying Dou Technique, he can at most remain undefeated; resolving today's troubles would be extremely difficult.

"Flying Dou Technique?"

Cheng Yue frowned, looking up at the approaching figure in the sky, a hint of jealousy flashing in his eyes.

The Dou Qi Transformation Wings is a hallmark of Dou Wang expert. Nalan Chenfeng is far from reaching that level; the wings on his back can only be a legendary and extremely rare Flying Dou Technique.

This kind of thing is probably unheard of even in the entire Black-Corner Region.

A purple streak of light descended in the center of the open space. Nalan Chenfeng's wings dissipated, and his gaze fell upon Han Yue.

"I'm back."

After speaking, Nalan Chenfeng looked at Lin Xiuya and the others and smiled slightly.

It's normal for freshmen to be bullied by upperclassmen, but this time, the fact that they stood together against the upperclassmen's bullying and were able to stand behind Han Yue, sharing a common hatred for the enemy, is commendable.

"This Cheng Yue is difficult to deal with; I've caused you trouble."

A hint of worry flashed in Han Yue's clear, beautiful eyes, and her voice was exceptionally gentle.

"A Nine-Star Dou Ling isn't really a problem."

As soon as he finished speaking, Nalan Chenfeng turned his gaze to Cheng Yue, his dark eyes calm as still water, with a hint of coldness.

"A senior student, so shameless! I'll take your third place on the Strong Ranking."

Upon hearing this, Cheng Yue was stunned, then let out a sneer.

"Arrogant."

Cheng Yue's face turned icy cold, and his eyes darkened.

Although he is not at the Peak Dou Ling, he is already Nine-Star Dou Ling. Now, a freshman dares to try to take his place. He is truly ignorant of his own limitations.

"Hahaha, he's just a kid who hasn't even grown up yet, relying on his talent, he's incredibly arrogant."

"If it weren't for his Cheng Yue Flying Dou Technique, I could have..."

"..."

Immediately, mocking voices came from the group of senior students around Cheng Yue, clearly indicating their low opinion of Nalan Chenfeng.

"Enough with the nonsense, make your move. I don't have time for trash like you."

Nalan Chenfeng snorted coldly, his eyes indifferent.

A Nine-Star Dou Ling is not worth his attention; he can kill someone of that strength quickly.

If it weren't for the fact that they were in the academy and couldn't risk killing someone, Cheng Yue was still considered to have followed the rules and didn't forcibly attack the freshman; otherwise, he would already be dead.

He had no interest in wasting words on such self-important seniors.

Upon hearing this, the surrounding world fell silent.

Lin Xiuya and the other freshmen looked at each other, none of them able to react for a moment.

Nine-Star Dou Ling —this level of strength is just one step away from becoming Dou Wang) level powerhouse.

Even if Nalan Chenfeng is incredibly powerful, he probably wouldn't be a match for him, so saying such things...

"Rubbish..."

Cheng Yue's face instantly darkened, and the anger in his heart was already showing on his face.

He had been cultivating in the Inner Academy for more than seven years and had never been looked down upon like this before.

"Then let me see what you've got, junior. I hope your skills match your words."

Cheng Yue's voice was deep, and then he waved his hand, causing the senior students behind him to retreat.

Nalan Chenfeng waved his hand, and the new students stepped aside, leaving a fairly large open space.

You'll find out soon enough.

Nalan Chenfeng said calmly, then stomped his foot on the ground, and dark red Dou Qi surged out from his body. The intense heat instantly raised the temperature of the surrounding air.

"Six-Star Dou Ling?"

Cheng Yue was slightly taken aback, then sneered, "Your talent is indeed extraordinary, no wonder you're so arrogant, but this level of strength is not enough to impress you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Cheng Yue suddenly darted out, his deep blue Dou Qi surging from his fist, accompanied by a sharp whooshing sound, heading straight for Nalan Chenfeng's face.

Cheng Yue unleashed the full power of his Nine-Star Dou Ling with this Cheng Yue, without any probing.

Nalan Chenfeng did not retreat. Dark red Dou Qi condensed on his right fist, and he threw a punch to meet the attack.

Bang!

The two fists collided, and the shockwave spread outwards, kicking up a cloud of dust.

Nalan Chenfeng retreated five or six steps, leaving a deep row of footprints on the bluestone ground.

Cheng Yue swayed slightly, but regained his balance after taking two steps back.

"Such powerful Dou Qi, but the gap between Six-Star Dou Ling and Nine-Star Dou Ling realm isn't so easily bridged."

Cheng Yue shook his hand, a serious look appearing in his eyes.

Although he had the upper hand with that punch, Nalan Chenfeng Dou Qi was far more solid than he had expected.

He is definitely practicing a cultivation technique of Earth Tier or higher, and given the talent he has shown, his strength will surely surpass his in a few years.

However, he didn't do anything too outrageous. If someone really wanted revenge, he could just leave the academy.

"Yeah?"

Nalan Chenfeng flexed his wrist, and deep within his dark pupils, an extremely fine black halo began to rotate silently.

In an instant, the entire Freshman Area fell silent.

Everyone remained motionless, their physical state, expressions, and even the flow of air and the energy of heaven and earth ceased.

Without any hesitation, Nalan Chenfeng unleashed a surge of Dou Qi beneath his feet, pushing his speed to its limit.

Time Stop, leaving him only three breaths; he needed to deal with Cheng Yue quickly.

Given his proficiency with High Mystic Rank Dou Technique like the Flame Explosion Fist, three breaths would be more than enough time to unleash it.

Flame Explosion Fist!

Nalan Chenfeng let out a low shout, unleashing all his Dou Qi. His right fist, which he had clenched, was instantly enveloped in dark red Dou Qi.

Boom!

Then, with a flash of his Nalan Chenfeng threw a punch that landed squarely on Cheng Yue's chest.

Time resumed its flow.

"Um..."

In a daze, Cheng Yue felt a terrifying, scorching battle Dou Qi explode in his chest, and intense pain swept through his entire body.

"Puff!"

The next instant, Cheng Yue spat out a mouthful of blood, and his whole body flew backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily onto the ground more than ten feet away.
