Level thirty
Several more days passed, Qian Renxue finally returned.
She was the first student in the Holy Academy to reach level 30 in Soul Power. With her current strength, Tang San would never be her match.
Furthermore, as the Holy Maiden of the Spirit Hall, her reputation within the Holy Academy experienced a surge, and she was already on par with Tang San.
Many people even think that Qian Renxue and Tang San are a perfect couple, and that if they got together, they would definitely be invincible in the future.
For several days, Qian Renxue's name has been the talk of the town in the inner courtyard, and even the students in the outer courtyard are talking about it with great interest.
Wang Feng didn't care about any of that. As long as Qian Renxue became stronger, that was all that mattered. What he cared about now was the Soul Bone.
Wang Feng remained calm, sitting cross-legged on the bed cultivating. He was content with just hearing about the latest happenings from Batuer and You Wulong each day; such a life was quite interesting.
"Boss, boss, there's big news again!" Batuer called out to Wang Feng as soon as he entered the dormitory. He had just learned the word "news" from Wang Feng, but he only knew its meaning and not its origin.
Wang Feng kept his eyes closed and ignored him, but knowing that Wang Feng wasn't meditating, he said directly, "Boss, the Holy Maiden went to participate in the Shrek Seven Devils selection, and no one could be her match. But the academy suddenly announced that the Holy Maiden has a powerful background like the Spirit Hall, and her qualification was revoked. Many others were also disqualified because of this issue."
"Huh?" Wang Feng opened his eyes, frowned, and said, "Is this even possible? Where are Tang San and the others? Ning Rongrong and Dai Mubai also canceled?"
They didn't.
"Favoritism?" Wang Feng's eyes widened. This was too blatant! Others might not know that Tang San was backed by the Clear Sky Sect, and while Dai Mubai was the third prince of the Star Luo Empire, the power struggles within the royal family were complex, which he could understand. But Ning Rongrong was incomprehensible. She was the successor to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect's sect leader—was that really believable?
Batuer shook his head. "I don't know what's going on either, but it's a notice from the academy, and we can only accept it."
Wang Feng laughed. There was no need to think too much about it now. Yu Xiaogang was clearly planning to train Tang San companions. He hadn't considered anyone else at all. The so-called selection was just to give everyone a sense of participation.
"Let them be!" Wang Feng said indifferently. Anyway, the Soul Bone was in the hands of the Spirit Hall. As long as the Soul Bone wasn't involved, Wang Feng didn't care about anything else.
However, after thinking it over, Wang Feng still felt that the matter of the Soul Bone was of utmost importance and that he had to ensure that everything went perfectly. So he went to find Yue Guan again.
Regarding the Soul Bone, Yue Guan and Gui Mei gave the same answer, and Gui Mei had not yet found out whether they really intended to use the three Soul Bones from the Spirit Hall as a reward.
Wang Feng directly presented Yue Guan with the Pope Token, which was even higher than Wang Feng's status as a Holy Son.
Bibi Dong had not given any clear instructions regarding the use of the Soul Bone, so Wang Feng used the privilege of the Pope Token to directly lock up the three Soul Bones, pretending it was the Pope's order that required the Pope's personal intervention to use Soul Bone, and that even the Pope Token was insufficient.
After all, it involved three Soul Bones, so the people guarding the Soul Bone naturally dared not be negligent. In addition, with the Pope Token, they had no doubts.
After settling the Soul Bone, Wang Feng felt at ease and continued his cultivation.
He still only listened to what Batuer and You Wulong said about things outside, and didn't pay much attention to it. Half a month later, the selection of the Shrek Seven Devils ended.
As expected, it was Tang San and his group of seven.
Meanwhile, the generous reward that had previously caused such a stir has finally come to light: it is Soul Bone.
This caused an uproar throughout the entire Holy Academy, even those in the management team couldn't remain calm.
However, it was not mentioned how many Soul Bones would be produced, nor was it specified when the Soul Bone rewards would be distributed.
Wang Feng's Soul Power Level was already very close to level 30, so Wang Feng didn't pay too much attention to it and instead focused on himself. Ten days later, he finally achieved his goal of reaching level 30.
However, he also learned that three of Tang San's companions had broken through to level 30 and were about to go out to hunt Soul Beast to obtain Soul Ring.
Is His Highness the Holy Son present?
Just as Wang Feng got out of bed and stood by the bedside, a voice suddenly sounded from outside the door.
Wang Feng frowned slightly. The voice sounded somewhat familiar, but he couldn't quite place where he had heard it before.
"He's not here, so who are you?" Wang Feng replied.
"Your His Highness the Holy Son is too kind. I still remember His Highness the Holy Son voice. There's no need to worry. Qinghe has come here to clarify some matters with you, to avoid any misunderstandings."
"Xue Qinghe?"
Wang Feng suddenly remembered—what was Xue Qinghe, the crown prince of the Heaven Dou Empire, doing here all of a sudden?
"Come in, the door's unlocked," Wang Feng said casually, not needing to pay any attention to a mere prince like him.
There was a moment of silence outside the door, but eventually the door was pushed open, and Xue Qinghe was the first to walk in, followed by the same two people from last time.
Wang Feng didn't turn his head, still gazing outside, and asked calmly, "Why does Your Highness still have the interest to come here?"
Xue Qinghe narrowed his eyes slightly, smiled at Wang Feng, and said, "I heard that the Holy Son was ambushed after leaving my place last time? I wonder if the Holy Son has found out who was responsible?"
"What, scared?"
Wang Feng suddenly turned around with a smile and looked at Xue Qinghe. Xue Qinghe jumped instinctively, becoming somewhat nervous.
But Xue Qinghe immediately realized, "It wasn't me who sent people to intercept and kill him, so why am I so nervous?"
"Your His Highness the Holy Son is joking. I came precisely to explain this matter to you. Although I do not know why those people tried to kill you, this matter has absolutely nothing to do with me. I have no grudge against you, so why would I do such a thing?"
"It seems I misunderstood His Highness the Crown Prince. I always thought it was His Highness who wanted to kill me!"
"Your Highness has indeed misunderstood me. This matter has nothing to do with me. I just heard about it late. I originally wanted to come and explain to Your Highness sooner, but I was kept delayed by other matters."
"Since it wasn't His Highness the Crown Prince who did it, that's good. Is there anything else, Your Highness?"
"..."
Xue Qinghe was stunned for a moment, looking at Wang Feng speechlessly. Although he was very unhappy, he couldn't get angry at Wang Feng, after all, this guy had a penchant for killing.
"Your His Highness the Holy Son, I'm new to this Holy Academy and not very familiar with it. I wonder if Your His Highness the Holy Son would be willing..."
"I'm not willing." Wang Feng gave the answer before Xue Qinghe could finish speaking.
"Wang Feng, His Highness the Crown Prince respects you as a holy son, but don't be ungrateful!" A person standing behind Xue Qinghe suddenly couldn't help but say coldly.
"Don't be rude!" Xue Qinghe shouted coldly, turning around to glare at the man.
"Crown Prince..."
"Step back!"
"Yes!" The man dared not refute and could only remain silent.
Xue Qinghe immediately looked at Wang Feng with a smile, but Wang Feng remained unchanged and did not pay any attention to the man's reprimand.
"Your His Highness the Holy Son, I apologize for disturbing you today." Xue Qinghe could no longer invite Wang Feng, so he had to take his leave.
Wang Feng nodded slightly, watching Xue Qinghe leave.
