First battle against the Proud Sword Sect! The Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring beneath my feet stunned the arena

"Uh, that might be a little difficult!"

When she heard Huo Yuhao's request.

Vina clearly got the wrong idea.

She thought a beautiful senior from Shrek Academy had taken a fancy to Luo Feng.

"As far as I know, he's engaged to Nan Qiuqiu, the young sect master of the Earth Dragon Sect!"

"Just look at how close those two are..."

As she answered Huo Yuhao's question.

The beautiful Princess waved to Luo Feng and the others nearby as though nothing were amiss.

Little did she know that Luo Feng had already heard their entire conversation loud and clear.

The Jade Dragon King's Martial Soul did more than provide powerful Soul Skills.

It also gave him physical abilities far beyond those of ordinary people.

But out of courtesy, Luo Feng maintained a demeanor that was neither servile nor overbearing.

"Luo Feng, let me introduce you. This is Huo Yuhao from Shrek Academy..."

Princess Vina pointed to the wheelchair beside her and introduced him with a smile!

Huo Yuhao also nodded politely to Luo Feng!

"Brother Luo, we met this morning!"

"Yes, hello, Huo Yuhao!"

Without any unnecessary chatter.

Luo Feng simply came over to offer a friendly greeting.

Then he politely excused himself, saying he was going to get some champagne.

Right now, he needed to look after his darling little wife's feelings, not accept the olive branch Huo Yuhao was extending.

Seeing his response, Huo Yuhao could only smile awkwardly.

He spoke again to explain things to Princess Vina.

"You misunderstood, Princess. Our classmate only wants to exchange ideas with him about Martial Souls. It isn't anything romantic!"

Upon hearing Huo Yuhao's explanation.

The beautiful Princess first nodded.

"I understand. Actually, I'd also like to see just how powerful this mysterious man's Martial Soul is!"

"Once their first match is over, I'll help arrange a meeting!"

Unlike the relaxed Shrek Seven Devils.

After learning who their opening opponents would be.

Nan Shuishui, as sect master, immediately gathered everyone together.

"Listen up, everyone. Our opponents this time are the reclusive Proud Sword Sect..."

Hearing that name.

Even Luo Feng paused.

Proud Sword?

In the original story.

Weren't these guys supposed to fight Yu Tianlong for a spot in the top eight?

How had they ended up facing Luo Feng's Earth Dragon Sect right from the start?

It seemed that his presence as a transmigrator.

Had caused the original timeline to veer off course a little!

Seeing Luo Feng remain silent.

His darling little wife, Nan Qiuqiu, took the opportunity to give him a push from behind!

"Mom, there's no need to discuss tactics!"

"Send this rascal out first and catch them completely off guard!"

Indeed.

That had been Nan Shuishui's initial plan as well.

The Proud Sword Sect was a veteran powerhouse.

They had performed well in every previous tournament.

Their captain, Wu Bifan, in particular, was a level 61 expert.

Looking across the entire Earth Dragon Sect, it seemed Luo Feng was their only choice.

He had defeated Long Aotian, after all.

And based on their previous experience.

Luo Feng could simply keep using that bizarre Soul Skill of his.

To send his opponents out of bounds without anyone being the wiser.

Hearing his darling little wife recommend him so enthusiastically.

Luo Feng, who had wanted to keep a low profile, had no choice but to straighten his back and lift his head.

"Sect master, everyone, rest up for now!"

"I'll try to last a few more rounds. If possible, I'll take down all seven on my own!"

The moment those words left his mouth.

It wasn't just the Earth Dragon Sect members.

Even those from the nearby Heavenly Dragon Gate and Body Sect couldn't help turning their attention toward him.

One against seven?

That was a feat only Shrek had accomplished before.

In the previous youth tournament held in the Star Luo Empire.

Huo Yuhao had made his name with that very feat.

"Tch, your Earth Dragon Sect doesn't have much ability, but your talent for blowing your own trumpet grows by the day!"

The first to voice his opposition was Yu Tianlong from the Heavenly Dragon Sect.

In fact, if Long Aotian hadn't played peacemaker before.

This fellow would have fought Luo Feng back in the Heaven Dou Empire.

And now, he seemed to have found his chance.

To give the Earth Dragon Sect a good mocking.

"You!"

Hearing Yu Tianlong's provocation.

Nan Qiuqiu was the first to bristle.

The young mistress planted both hands on her hips, looking ready to unleash a lioness's roar.

"Yu Tianlong, what are you saying?"

"Are you looking for trouble?"

But Luo Feng paid him no attention.

He merely pulled his wife back at a leisurely pace.

Then murmured softly into her ear.

"Darling, ignore that little mud loach. Save your energy for tomorrow's match! Cheer your husband on!"

"Hmph!"

"I'm furious! Let's go back to bed!"

"We'll show them tomorrow!"

And so, the banquet ended on a sour note!

Early the next morning.

Nan Qiuqiu and Luo Feng were once again the last to arrive.

It was the young couple's first time staying together.

Naturally, their nighttime antics had lasted a little longer.

The difference was.

Luo Feng looked rather listless.

As though his back ached and his waist was sore.

Nan Qiuqiu, however, positively glowed, like a flower that had been thoroughly watered.

But the tournament wouldn't change just because Luo Feng was feeling drained.

Just as the two sat down.

The announcer on the stage had already begun his introduction!

"Next, let us welcome the competitors from both sides for the individual matches!"

"First up for the Proud Sword Sect is Lin Shuo, a level 58 Battle Soul King!"

"As for the Earth Dragon Sect's competitor, apologies, there's an irregularity in his information. We need to update it!"

"Oh, all done!"

"Please welcome Luo Feng of the Earth Dragon Sect, a level 51 power attack system Battle Soul Master!"

Luo Feng had been level 48 when he registered.

But after interacting with that Evil Soul Master yesterday.

He had advanced to level 51.

Hearing this news.

His little wife, Nan Qiuqiu, was also shocked.

"What's going on?"

"When did A Feng reach level 51?"

"No wonder he was as lively as a dragon and tiger last night!"

"And he didn't even tell me! Hmph!"

"I'll make him kneel on a washboard tonight!"

While Nan Qiuqiu was pouting.

Both competitors in the arena activated their Martial Souls.

The fellow from the Proud Sword Sect was quite conventional.

Two yellow, two purple, and one black.

Combined with the treasured sword in his hand, they gave him a disorienting air, like everything had been thrown into disarray by the wind.

Luo Feng, by contrast, looked like a chronically ill man who had exhausted all his energy and might topple over at any moment.

Soon, whispers rose from the stands.

"What is this?"

"What kind of tactic is the Earth Dragon Sect using? Sending out a sick man first to throw the match?"

"Hahaha, the Proud Sword Sect is a veteran powerhouse! The Earth Dragon Gate is finished!"

But Luo Feng ignored all that noise.

Seeing the Soul Rings his opponent had revealed.

Luo Feng stretched with extreme reluctance.

Then he stamped his right foot hard against the ground.

Soul Rings!

Appear!

Buzzz!

Sizzle!

In an instant, wave after wave of terrifying power surged wildly from beneath his feet.

His first Soul Ring was black.

His second Soul Ring was also black.

His third and fourth Soul Rings were each darker than the last, so black they almost looked purple.

But the appearance of his fifth Soul Ring resonated with the energy of heaven and earth!

Boom!

It was red!

A crimson as vivid as blood!

"That's a Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring!"

The referee at the edge of the arena nearly had his eyes pop out of their sockets!

Was this some kind of joke?

The first four were black Ten Thousand Year Soul Rings.

And the fifth jumped straight to over a hundred thousand years?

What kind of monstrous sect was this Earth Dragon Gate?

How could this be...
