"Sect Master Nan, who was that just now?"

Only long after the man had disappeared did Princess Vina come back to her senses.

Then she asked in a probing tone.

That fellow did not exist anywhere in the Heaven Dou Empire's records.

If their country really had someone like him, the imperial family could not possibly have been unaware.

"I'm not entirely sure either. He pursued me when I was young, but we were fated to meet, not to be together..."

At the Princess's question, Nan Shuishui seemed to sink into painful memories.

Normally, a daughter should take her father's surname.

Yet Nan Qiuqiu had taken her mother's surname, something highly unusual in the still rather feudal traditions of the Douluo Continent.

A situation like this probably came with a melodramatic story!

"Mom, is he my...?"

Perhaps it was the conflicted look on her mother's face.

Nan Qiuqiu's thoughts actually went astray.

And when asked that question...

Nan Shuishui blushed too.

But she quickly turned serious.

"Qiu'er, don't let your imagination run wild!"

"He... that man could, at most, count as your uncle!"

Well, then!

What a complicated relationship.

Looking at the mother and daughter with their differing expressions...

Luo Feng fell into thought too.

Should I kill this third elder of the Holy Spirit Cult the next time I run into him?

The adult world is so complicated!

What a headache!

Just then...

Long Aotian arrived too.

He had come to see Luo Feng.

"Brother Luo, perfect, you're all here. I just heard a rumor!"

"Who knows what got into Yu Tianlong from the Heavenly Dragon Sect? Apparently, he wants to forfeit the individual matches..."

"They might go straight into a team battle against your Earth Dragon Sect tomorrow!"

Well, then.

Long Aotian had missed quite a show just now.

Otherwise, he would certainly have known why.

They had only come face-to-face, without even fighting.

And the followers behind Yu Tianlong had all dropped to their knees.

If they fought individual matches tomorrow...

They would practically be serving their heads up on a platter.

After some analysis, Yu Tianlong had concluded...

Luo Feng seemed to be the strongest member of the entire Earth Dragon Sect.

But he was the kind of powerhouse who stood an entire tier above everyone else.

Nan Qiuqiu, who ranked second in strength, was nowhere near this fellow's level.

So, with seamless coordination in a team battle, they still had a chance of winning.

Upon hearing Long Aotian's words...

A worried look appeared on Nan Qiuqiu's face too.

"A Feng!"

"I've heard the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon's combination techniques are really powerful. Tomorrow, we..."

Before his sweet little wife could finish...

Luo Feng raised a finger and pressed it against his wife's lips.

"It's fine. Just stretch your legs a little tomorrow, honey. Leave those little mud loaches to me!"

What confidence.

What a blatant display of affection to make the singles choke.

Seeing how loving the couple before her was...

Princess Vina could not help feeling envious.

Her gaze toward Long Aotian beside her gradually grew tender and lingering.

"Uh, since you need to prepare for battle, Brother Luo, we won't disturb you!"

Compared with Luo Feng...

Long Aotian seemed a little reserved when it came to romance.

A full-grown man, yet when faced with his fiancée's adoring gaze, he actually found an excuse to retreat.

"All right, good night, Brother Long!"

"My wife and I happen to need a thorough discussion of tomorrow's tactics!"

Luo Feng might have made it sound impressive.

But in reality, what tactics were there?

The young couple shut the door and started doing those indescribably embarrassing things again...

So much so that when they reached the team battle arena the following day...

Luo Feng still appeared utterly languid, as though a gust of wind could knock him over!

But after witnessing yesterday's battle, not a single spectator would underestimate this powerhouse from the Earth Dragon Sect.

Especially Yu Tianlong on the opposing side.

He was scared to death at the sight of Luo Feng.

"Remember yesterday's strategy. Put everything into holding off Luo Feng, while the rest dive into their back line!"

Honestly, Yu Tianlong was actually quite capable.

Among his peers in the Heaven Dou Empire, he already counted as one of the best.

Unfortunately, his martial soul was suppressed far too severely by the Jade Dragon King!

"You rascal, take this seriously!"

Seeing the opponents quickly move into position, arranging themselves in the shape of the Big Dipper...

Nan Qiuqiu grew anxious.

As the Earth Dragon Sect's senior sister...

She was utterly at a loss at that moment.

She had no idea how to respond.

Yet Luo Feng was putting on that unconcerned air again.

He was enough to worry someone to death!

"No problem. Honey, go warm up with the other disciples!"

"Let me see what they're up to."

With that, Luo Feng slowly walked out of his formation alone.

That was a major taboo.

Breaking formation without authorization could easily leave someone surrounded by the enemy.

Yet none of the opposing Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon members dared move.

They merely stared fixedly at him!

"Bzz!"

The next moment, the exact same scene as yesterday unfolded.

With every step Luo Feng took forward...

Another Soul Ring appeared beneath his feet.

Four black and one red...

That terrifying pressure swiftly enveloped the entire arena.

"Everyone, attention! Activate your martial souls!"

Seeing their opponent approach alone...

A trace of gravity appeared in Yu Tianlong's eyes.

Then he directed his teammates with both words and gestures.

His companions in every position unleashed their strongest Soul Ring powers!

"Roooar!"

"Crack, crack, crack!"

"Snap, crackle, pop!"

For a moment, fiery light flashed wildly amid tiger roars and dragon cries.

The Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon martial soul was quite a spectacle!

Combined with those electrical sparks, it was even more dazzling.

"Tch, all flash and no substance!"

"Take my fifth Soul Skill!"

[Jade Realm: Primordial Time Domain]

"Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle!"

"Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!"

It was a tremendous domain that swiftly covered the entire arena.

Yu Tianlong and the others might have been darting around like monkeys earlier.

They had seemed quite nimble.

But once the domain enveloped them...

Everyone was drastically slowed.

Yu Tianlong bore the brunt of it, his hands and feet moving unnaturally.

The way his arm and leg on the same side moved together...

Looked just like the robot dance of that American superstar, Michael Jackson.

But his movements were painfully awkward, stiff and comical like a marionette's.

"Ah, what is this?"

At the same moment...

Every member of the Earth Dragon Sect, including Nan Qiuqiu, suddenly felt as light as a swallow.

The little Soul Power they had expended earlier was completely restored.

Even their stamina had reached its peak!

"What's going on?"

As one side waned and the other waxed...

It was not just the competitors in the arena.

Even the referee outside it was dumbstruck.

A Soul Skill that reduced the enemy's movement speed while stacking massive buffs on teammates...

Was this really something a Power Attack System Battle Soul Master could unleash?

Even the strongest support-type Soul Master present had never heard of a skill like this!

"Interesting!"

"Where did this kid spring from?"

"I thought the Body Sect was the only thing worth watching in the Heaven Dou Empire!"

Meanwhile...

An exclamation of praise came from the VIP stands far above.

But that voice carried a sinister undertone.

Several masked Evil Soul Masters stood outside that private box as well.

It went without saying!

This was the private box of Zhongli Wu, the Sun Moon Empire's imperial preceptor.

He was also the leader of the Holy Spirit Cult.

Ever since someone had reported Luo Feng's situation to him yesterday...

Zhongli Wu's interest had been greatly piqued.

And today's spectacle had shocked him even more.

"Imperial Preceptor, do you think so highly of this boy?"

Soon, the voice of Xu Tianran, the Sun Moon Empire's crown prince, came from next door.

Perhaps because he possessed the Purple Brilliant Heaven Destroying Dragon martial soul...

When Luo Feng displayed his power...

Xu Tianran's martial soul had actually resonated with it too.

"Hehe, if only this boy could join our Holy Spirit Cult. He's a real talent!"

Clearly, Zhongli Wu was determined to get what he wanted.

But just as he was talking with Xu Tianran...

Luo Feng suddenly turned his head in the arena.

He flashed an eerie smile in their direction.

Interesting. Have these two wolves scheming together set their sights on me too?

Once I've had my fun with the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon, I'll come for you two!

Luo Feng's Fifth Soul Skill had two moves.

The first was the one he had used to restrain Yu Tianlong.

As for the second, he had been looking for a punching bag to test it on.

Zhongli Wu and Xu Tianran seemed like good choices!

Now I just had to see whether an opportunity arose to give those two a surprise!
