Wang Feng felt that asking Batuer and You Wulong might not be enough to confirm the matter, so he decided to Gui Mei.

Gui Mei lived in another building, which was reserved for management personnel and was not open to ordinary people. However, no one dared to stop Wang Feng.

The investigations into the Lower Four Sects murders of trainees have not yet been completed, and Wang Feng remains a suspect.

As soon as Wang Feng went upstairs, he happened to run into the Elephant Armor Sect, one of the Lower Four Sects.

"Wang Feng, it's you! Stop right there!" Two members of the Elephant Armor Sect blocked Wang Feng's path.

Wang Feng looked up and glanced at the two men, then asked casually, "Is there something you need?"

"Stop pretending, you scoundrel! You deliberately murdered my clan's members; your intentions are despicable!"

"Just because my sect's disciples challenged you, you want to kill them? How can such a vicious person still have the audacity to come here to cultivate!"

The two cursed Wang Feng, wishing they could chop Wang Feng, but they only dared to vent their anger verbally and did not dare to actually lay a hand on him.

Wang Feng sneered, shook his head slightly, and looked at the two of them with a smile, "You two teachers really don't think I killed your Elephant Armor Sect students, do you?"

"Hmph! What, you want to make excuses? Who in this entire Holy Academy doesn't know that you, Wang Feng, have abused your status as the Holy Son of the Spirit Hall to commit all sorts of evil deeds?"

"A villain like you only dares to act arrogantly within this small Holy Academy. Boy, you will die a horrible death. My sect's disciples will never die in vain."

"How pitiful!" Wang Feng sighed, then walked around the two of them and went upstairs.

"You bastard! Say what you said? Say it again!"

The two men turned around angrily and glared at Wang Feng, their bodies trembling with murderous intent.

Wang Feng stopped, turned around, and looked at the two men staring at him, laughing, "Just a few Soul Grandmaster, do you really think the Spirit Hall will take you seriously? Don't overestimate yourselves."

After speaking, Wang Feng turned and left, ignoring the two men. He had given them the warnings he needed to give; whether they could find the culprit was their problem. If they still stubbornly believed that the Spirit Hall was the murderer, then they were welcome to seek revenge.

The two men were initially furious, but as they watched Wang Feng's figure gradually disappear into the distance, they suddenly understood something. They exchanged a glance, both seeing disbelief in each other's eyes.

On the fourth-floor corridor, Yu Xiaogang and Liu Erlong stood by the railing, watching Wang Feng go to the third floor before Liu Erlong turned her gaze to Yu Xiaogang.

Do you think the deaths of those trainees have anything to do with Wang Feng?

Yu Xiaogang trembled slightly, not looking at Liu Erlong, but simply said, "The Spirit Hall is full of treacherous ambitions; nothing they do is surprising."

Liu Erlong frowned. "But he's right. Even if the Spirit Hall has enormous ambitions, it wouldn't care about a few ten-year-old children!"

"You don't need to worry about this. Let them investigate. I think we should have results soon."

"But..."

"Alright, I have some things to take care of." Yu Xiaogang interrupted Liu Erlong and turned to walk downstairs.

Liu Erlong stared at Yu Xiaogang's retreating figure, her brows furrowing deeper and deeper. She seemed to be unable to see through this man more and more. Had he changed, or had his hatred for the Spirit Hall only deepened?

Liu Erlong shook his head, sighed, and turned to go back to his room.

On the third floor, in the room at the end of the corridor, the door opened as soon as Wang Feng reached the door.

Wang Feng went inside. Gui Mei was sitting cross-legged on the bed with his eyes slightly closed. Wang Feng couldn't figure out if he was cultivating or just thought it looked cool.

"Uncle Gui, when is Xiao Xue coming back?"

"It should be soon," Gui Mei replied without even opening his eyes.

Wang Feng was speechless. What difference did it make whether he said it or not? He already knew it would be over soon. But he didn't press the matter, since that wasn't what he came for.

"Uncle Gui, have you heard about the inner courtyard's plan to bring up the Shrek Seven Devils?"

"I haven't heard of it. If you want to go, then go for it! Don't worry about the management; just do what you want to do."

"I'm not really interested in going, but I heard that after the Shrek Seven Devils arrive in the distance, the academy will reward them with Soul Bone."

"Soul Bone!"

The Gui Mei suddenly opened its eyes, frowned, got out of bed, walked up to Wang Feng, and asked, "Who told you this? Are you sure?"

"I wasn't sure, so I came to ask you to see if you knew. After all, I've heard my teacher say that the Holy Academy has three Soul Bones, but aren't those from our Spirit Hall? And I heard that the Shrek Seven Devils will only select seven people, and I think it's obvious which seven people those are."

"Snort!"

Gui Mei snorted coldly, his eyes turning icy. "I think they're obsessed with Soul Bone. They can't possibly dream of anything from the Spirit Hall!"

"Uncle Gui, don't be angry. I've only heard about this. It's not certain yet. Let's confirm it first!"

Gui Mei nodded. "Alright, I'll ask. But it's alright, although those three Soul Bones are in the Holy Academy, they're in the hands of our Spirit Hall. Without His Pope Hall's order, they can't use them."

"That's good." Wang Feng finally felt relieved, but then he suddenly remembered something and looked at the Gui Mei again, saying, "It still won't work. The teacher said that the Dean is also an elder of our Spirit Hall. He has Elder Token, so we have to be careful!"

"It's alright. Even if they knew where the Soul Bone was, they still wouldn't be able to get it unless His Pope Hall himself came or saw Pope Token."

"Oh, I see! That puts my mind at ease."

Wang Feng nodded, suddenly pondering whether he should try to extract the three Soul Bones from the Gui Mei. He happened to have the Pope Token, and if he absorbed one Soul Bone, his Soul Power Level would directly reach level 30.

However, after thinking about it, Wang Feng dismissed the idea. If he really did it, although the Spirit Hall wouldn't do anything to him, it would cause trouble for his teacher.

"What level are you now? How long will it take you to break through to level 30?" Gui Mei suddenly asked, staring at Wang Feng.

"One level away, but it will probably take some time to reach level 30."

"It takes this long?" Gui Mei stared at Wang Feng with suspicion.

"I don't know either. Anyway, my Soul Power growth slowed down after breaking through level 20," Wang Feng said helplessly. Although his speed was fast compared to many others, his Soul Power absorption speed was already faster than ordinary people, so his improvement speed was indeed slower in comparison.

"Let me see."

As he spoke, the Gui Mei raised his hand and placed it on Wang Feng's shoulder, beginning to examine Wang Feng's physical condition, his brows gradually furrowing.

"What's wrong? Are you alright?" Wang Feng asked with some concern.

The Gui Mei shook its head, withdrew its hand, and said, "It's nothing, everything is normal. Alright, if there's nothing else, go back and start cultivating, and try to reach level 30 as soon as possible."

"Alright!" Wang Feng looked at the Gui Mei with some speechlessness, then suddenly realized that the Gui Mei had changed as well.

Yue Guan used to be cold to me, but now the dynamic has reversed. I don't understand.

Wang Feng shook his head and turned to leave.
