Osler raised his head and glared viciously at Dai Mubai, as if he wanted to swallow him whole.

"Ghost Leopard, Martial Soul Possession!"

Bang! Dai Mubai lifted a leg and kicked Osler flying.

The back of his head struck the corner of a table. Blood flowed out, staining the floor red. At the same time, his face rapidly turned pale.

"Kid, let me teach you another lesson. You don't need to shout out loud when using Martial Soul Possession."

Hearing this, a rush of heat shot straight to Osler's head. The next moment, he fainted outright.

"Osler!" Ye Lingling cried out anxiously.

Just as she was about to treat Osler again, a tall figure suddenly appeared before her.

Looking down at her flirtatiously, Dai Mubai said gently, "I am Dai Mubai. May I ask this young lady's name?"

"You! Move aside!"

Ye Lingling panicked slightly at the sight.

She hurriedly shifted her steps, intending to go around him. Before she had taken more than a few steps, Dai Mubai swiftly extended his right hand and blocked her path.

"Mm..."

Unconscious, Osler let out an involuntary groan. He was clearly suffering immense pain.

Ye Lingling said urgently, "My name is Ye Lingling. I apologize to you on Osler's behalf. Could you please move aside first? My companion is seriously injured."

There was a trace of pleading in her voice.

"Is that so? Beautiful Miss Lingling, my injuries are serious too."

Dai Mubai touched his chest and smiled. "Ever since the first moment I saw you, my heart has been pounding nonstop. Could you treat me too?"

Ye Lingling took a deep breath. Seeing how relentless he was, her gaze gradually turned cold.

"My companions and teacher will be here soon. You should leave quickly. Osler's status is no ordinary one. You injured him, so there'll be no good outcome for you!"

As a descendant of a great family, Ye Lingling did not have the arrogant manner of a spoiled young master.

However, that did not mean she had no temper.

If she were not a Support Spirit Master with little combat ability, Ye Lingling would have acted long ago over the things Dai Mubai had said.

Dai Mubai grinned at her words.

Comparing status?

Comparing influence?

Was there anyone on the continent with a nobler identity than him, the Third Prince of the Star Luo Empire?

"Oh, I forgot to introduce myself!" Dai Mubai declared. "I am Dai Mubai, of the Dai Family of the Star Luo Empire. In my family, I rank..."

Just as Dai Mubai was about to introduce himself, a clear voice interrupted him.

"Young Master Dai, please step aside."

Dai Mubai turned around and saw Lu Feng standing in the corridor, casually sizing him up.

"Where did this wild brat come from, daring to meddle in my business?"

Dai Mubai stopped bothering Ye Lingling and instead fixed Lu Feng with a cold stare. Soul Power surged through his body, as though he might strike at any moment.

"Young Master Dai, you're blocking my deliveryman from bringing in my juice."

Lu Feng pointed toward the entrance. A waiter stood there carrying two cups of juice, hesitating to step through the door.

Imperial Dou Team Gathers

"Kid, I think you're courting death!"

Dai Mubai shouted and swung his fist straight at Lu Feng's chest.

His movements were simple, without any flourish.

He had read that old, clichéd scenario of a hero saving a beauty countless times in storybooks.

Hmph. Anyone who provoked Young Master Dai had better be prepared to get beaten until they were crawling around looking for their teeth.

Lu Feng narrowed his eyes. Dai Mubai's punch seemed casual, but under the combined effect of strength and speed, his momentum had instantly reached its peak.

Without abundant real combat experience, it was absolutely impossible to achieve that.

But who here hadn't fought through countless battles?

A crafty smile curled across Lu Feng's lips as he raised his left fist to meet the blow head-on. As Soul Power surged, his first soul ring floated behind him and glimmered faintly.

Bang!

With a thunderous crash, the two fists collided.

Violent Soul Power rippled outward, instantly overturning the nearby tables. Dai Mubai only felt an enormous force strike him, and his body staggered backward uncontrollably by four or five steps.

"How is this possible?!" Dai Mubai's pupils contracted sharply, his heart filled with shock.

The other party was clearly only a two-ring Soul Grandmaster, yet the force of that punch was not the least bit weaker than Dai Weisi, who possessed the cultivation of a Soul Elder.

Lu Feng's attack did not stop. His left foot stepped forward in an instant, covering a full three meters and directly catching up to Dai Mubai's retreating body.

As he swung his right fist, his hand instantly turned a lustrous milky white.

Knuckleduster First Soul Skill: Heavy Punch!

Tang Sect secret art: Mysterious Jade Hand!

Under the combination of the two techniques, Dai Mubai felt a sharp pain in his chest before his body was sent flying backward.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Dai Mubai crashed through two tables in succession, only stopping after slamming into the wall.

Cough, cough, cough! Dai Mubai coughed violently several times and spat out a mouthful of bloody foam.

"You... you... I..."

Dai Mubai raised his right hand and pointed tremblingly at Lu Feng's glowing first soul ring.

Perhaps because he was too agitated, he was momentarily unable to speak coherently.

Lu Feng rubbed his wrist and said casually, "Young Master Dai, your strength may not be much, but some of what you said makes sense. When fighting, there's no need to shout out loud when using soul skills either."

After battling the Yellow Family Three Freaks, Lu Feng often pondered how to improve his combat ability.

Hidden weapons?

Poison?

Black Powder?

Tang Sect martial arts?

Lu Feng had many methods for dealing with enemies, but his Soul Power level remained a limitation.

With Soul Power at level twenty-five, being able to cross an entire stage and defeat an opponent at the Soul Elder level was already extremely rare.

How to fully utilize his own strengths to strike at an enemy's weaknesses was what Lu Feng had considered most often.

Over the past year, he had actually developed several quite decent techniques.

Ignoring Dai Mubai's dark expression, Lu Feng turned and walked to the entrance, taking the two cups from the stunned female server.

Returning to the hall, he saw Ye Lingling staring at him without blinking and politely asked, "Would you like some juice? One cup costs five Gold Soul Coins."

"I... I don't want any, thank you."

Seeing Lu Feng's casual manner, Ye Lingling's surprise deepened further.

This person is so strong.

Ye Lingling knew Osler's strength very well. At the Imperial Academy, he was a somewhat renowned cultivation genius.

Dai Mubai had easily defeated Osler. Though he had relied on a sneak attack, it still showed just how formidable Dai Mubai was.

Yet this handsome young man before her had defeated Dai Mubai in a single move.

Teacher Qin was right. A genius among geniuses is a monster, Ye Lingling thought to herself.

Suddenly, Ye Lingling's pupils shrank, and she cried out, "Watch out!"

Lu Feng glanced behind him and saw Dai Mubai's second soul ring light up.

A huge mass of white light instantly gathered. Accompanied by Dai Mubai's tiger roar, a milky-white orb of light erupted from his mouth.

"Hmph. Such a petty trick, and you dare show off before an expert."

Lu Feng snorted coldly. The Soul Power around his right fist had nearly condensed into solid form.

Bang!

The instant his fist touched the white light, it forcibly exploded it. The next moment, the light wave transformed into countless white arrows that shot violently in every direction.

The surrounding tables, chairs, and windows were instantly sliced to pieces upon touching the white light.

Bang!

A streak of white light struck the chandelier, breaking it into several pieces before it crashed heavily onto Osler.

"What a fierce attack!" Dai Mubai stared intently at Lu Feng's glowing second soul ring.

However, in the next instant, Dai Mubai's pupils contracted. Lu Feng had already rushed before him, fists raised, taking advantage of the gap while the light wave scattered.

"First Soul Skill: White Tiger Protective Cover!"

Dai Mubai's gaze sharpened as his evil eyes suddenly turned white. Of his two soul rings, the first abruptly shone brilliantly, forming a circle of white light around him.

Bang! Lu Feng's fist struck the barrier with an ear-splitting crash.

Violent Soul Power rippled outward with the two of them at its center. The surrounding tables and chairs were blown askew as though caught in a storm.

Crack!

The next moment, the barrier shattered directly, turning into faint white light before disappearing.

Dai Mubai's body slammed heavily into the wall with a dull thud.

"Well? Still want to continue?"

Lu Feng glanced at Osler lying on the ground. If he kept fighting Dai Mubai, that kid would probably bleed to death.

Seeing Ye Lingling staring at him with concern, Lu Feng could not help wanting to shout, "Miss, your teammate's about to die."

Dai Mubai rubbed his chest and was about to reply when a voice suddenly came from the entrance.

"Lingling, are you all right?!"

As the words fell, a young man and woman rushed in.

The young man was tall and slender, with long black hair. He was not especially handsome. Dressed in a simple blue combat outfit without any decoration, he gave off an overall impression of simplicity.

Yet it was precisely that simplicity that made him seem dangerous.

The young woman wore a green combat outfit and had short dark-purple hair, looking exceptionally valiant.

Oddly, she had a pair of green eyes that gave off a somewhat eerie feeling. She could not be called breathtakingly beautiful, but she possessed a bewitching charm.

Seeing the two protect Ye Lingling behind them, Lu Feng withdrew his Martial Soul and found an intact table to sit at.

The battle that followed had nothing to do with him.

"Good thing my juice is fine!" Lu Feng removed the lid, poured himself a small cup of juice, and slowly savored it.

"Captain, Sister Yan!" At the sight of the two, Ye Lingling finally relaxed.

A petal-shaped white light emerged from her Martial Soul and drifted into Osler's body. Color visibly returned to his face, and he soon opened his eyes.

"Mm..."

Osler rubbed his head and struggled to prop himself up.

The first thing he saw upon opening his eyes was the tall Yu Tianheng.

Osler was first delighted, but then grievance welled up in his eyes, and he nearly burst into tears.

He quickly ran to Yu Tianheng's side, pointed at Dai Mubai, and said viciously, "Captain, kill that brat for me!"
