Spirit Hall and Spirit Hall Academy were both in Spirit City, one in the city center and the other in the northwest.
Chen Feng looked up at Spirit Hall Academy's signboard and sighed inwardly.
The only power that could awaken ordinary people's Martial Souls for free had ultimately met its demise.
It had to be said that Bibi Dong, that madwoman, deserved most of the credit.
"Greetings, Your Highness the Holy Son."
The guards of Spirit Hall Academy stepped forward to pay their respects.
Chen Feng paused, then said regretfully, "You recognized me that quickly? I was planning to wait for you to stop me so I could show off and slap your faces."
"You jest, Your Highness! How would we dare stop you?"
The guards jumped in fright, hurriedly shaking their heads and waving their hands. They did not know whether to laugh or cry. How did His Highness's mind work in such peculiar ways?
Information about the Spirit Hall Saint Son, along with his portrait, had been released the previous afternoon.
Overnight, every Soul Master in Spirit Hall had learned about him.
The guards at Spirit Hall Academy came from Spirit Hall, so naturally, they had to recognize Chen Feng, the Holy Son.
"Forget it!"
Chen Feng waved and headed into the academy. After two steps, he turned back and asked, "By the way, which class is Little Fox in?"
"Little Fox?"
The guards looked bewildered.
"I mean Hu Liena," Chen Feng explained.
"She's in Class Heaven One."
Understanding dawned on the guards, and they hurriedly answered.
"Thank you."
Chen Feng thanked them, then turned and left.
"Wasn't His Highness rumored to be marrying the Worship Hall Saintess? Why does he sound so close to Miss Hu Liena?"
One guard asked in confusion.
"Shh! Don't talk nonsense. His Highness and the Worship Hall Saintess aren't people we can gossip about." Another guard tugged at him and scolded him under his breath.
Chen Feng heard the guards' discussion but ignored it.
After entering Spirit Hall Academy, he reached Class Heaven One's training square with a kind female student leading the way.
The moment he stepped into the square, he spotted that familiar figure and was so startled that he turned to run.
"Since you're here, get acquainted with everyone."
Sensing his presence, Bibi Dong spoke coolly.
The Spirit Hall Team members undergoing special training all stopped and looked curiously at Chen Feng.
Hu Liena's pretty face flushed slightly. He had arrived right after she took off her black robe. He wouldn't misunderstand, would he?
Chen Feng turned around and gave a dry laugh. "Dong... Hello, Teacher. Hello, brothers and sisters."
He had instinctively started to call her Dongdong, but Bibi Dong's icy glare made him hastily change his words.
"Pfft!"
Hu Liena couldn't help laughing. This fellow was far too funny.
Bibi Dong said coolly, "Let me introduce him. This is Chen Feng, whom I recently appointed as the Spirit Hall Saint Son."
"Greetings, Your Highness the Holy Son."
Xie Yue and the others hurriedly bowed in greeting.
"Hello, everyone."
Chen Feng waved. "Carry on with your training. I was just passing by. See you next time."
With that, he turned to leave.
Mostly, he had gone a little too far last night and feared Bibi Dong would retaliate. It was better to leave first.
Had he known Bibi Dong would be training the Spirit Hall Team today, he would never have come here.
"Stop!"
Bibi Dong spoke coolly.
This isn't good, Chen Feng cried inwardly. He turned toward Bibi Dong and asked, "Was there something else, Teacher?"
Seeing his cautious manner, Bibi Dong's anger had mostly subsided, but she still had to teach him a lesson.
She couldn't bring herself to do it, so she would have someone else do it for her.
"As the Spirit Hall Saint Son, you must have the ability to win everyone's respect."
The corners of Bibi Dong's lips lifted slightly. Turning toward the Spirit Hall Team, she said evenly, "Anyone who wishes to experience the Holy Son's abilities may go ahead."
Yan shrank back and said loudly, "Teacher, I greatly admire His Highness's strength, so I won't fight him."
At these words, a gleam flashed through Xie Yue's and the others' eyes.
Could His Highness have been the one who beat Yan up?
So His Highness was only a One-Ring Soul Master?
Bibi Dong glanced at Yan and said coolly, "You may use three Soul Skills, as long as you don't kill or cripple him."
That little bastard had two First Soul Skills. If they only used two Soul Skills, they might not be able to defeat him.
Using three Soul Skills would be a safer bet.
Yan's eyes immediately lit up at her words.
Although he had lost yesterday, that was because he had only used his First Soul Skill.
If he could use three Soul Skills, the outcome would be uncertain.
Xie Yue and the others exchanged looks. Did Teacher have a grudge against His Highness?
But if she did, why had she appointed him as the Holy Son?
A trace of suspicion appeared in Hu Liena's eyes as her gaze wandered between Chen Feng and Bibi Dong.
Chen Feng was speechless. This was definitely retaliation.
That madwoman surely wanted to use the Spirit Hall Team to give him a savage beating and vent her anger.
Bibi Dong said coolly, "Don't even think about going easy on the Holy Son. Whoever loses will have their special training doubled again."
At these words, Xie Yue and the others shuddered.
Xie Yue cupped his fist toward Chen Feng. "Forgive me in advance, Your Highness."
"Come on, then."
Chen Feng sighed as he spoke.
"I'll go first."
Yan was the first to step forward, saying excitedly, "Your Highness, you'd better be careful today."
Chen Feng nodded, then turned to Bibi Dong and asked, "If I win, can Little Fox be excused from special training? I need her for something."
Bibi Dong's expression darkened. What could this little bastard need Nana for? He would only use those same tricks he had once used on me on Nana.
Even she had been unable to resist, let alone Nana, who had little experience of the world.
Little Fox?
Xie Yue and the others did not catch on at first. Only after repeating it several times did they turn toward Hu Liena, their gazes peculiar.
Hu Liena lowered her head, her pretty face slightly flushed, yet she felt an inexplicable excitement and nervousness.
Seeing Bibi Dong's sour expression, Chen Feng hurriedly added, "Every member of the Spirit Hall Team can take turns fighting me. If I lose even once, it counts as my defeat. If I lose, I'll never fool around again."
Xie Yue's and the others' expressions shifted slightly, anger appearing in their eyes.
A One-Ring Soul Master wanted to defeat all of them in a relay of battles? He was looking down on them far too much.
Never fool around again?
Bibi Dong's expression stirred slightly.
Chen Feng added, "If I win, Little Fox won't have to attend special training until Qian Renxue returns. She'll be responsible for showing me around Spirit City. I've been in Spirit Hall for three years, and I still haven't explored Spirit City."
Looking at his pitiful appearance, Bibi Dong finally nodded. "Very well."
"Good."
The corners of Chen Feng's lips lifted slightly. He looked at Yan before him and nodded calmly. "Come on."
He released his Martial Soul, and his First Soul Ring emerged beneath his feet.
"Hiss! A Hundred Thousand Year Soul Ring?"
Xie Yue and the others widened their eyes and sucked in a breath of cold air.
A hundred-thousand-year First Soul Ring?
Was that something a mortal could achieve?
No wonder he had been appointed as the Spirit Hall Saint Son.
And no wonder he had beaten Yan into such a state despite being only a One-Ring Soul Master.
This was simply too terrifying.
"Fourth Soul Skill, Magma Surge!"
Yan opened with a powerful move.
