Indeed, Xue Ye's aggressive attitude just now was a show of power towards the Martial Soul Hall.
Although on the surface there doesn't seem to be any significant conflict between the Empire and the Martial Soul Hall,
in reality, they were already at loggerheads.
Ye Feng was someone who had dealings with both sides.
He couldn't have been clearer about this.
"One thing is for sure, there won't be peace!"
At this moment, Yu Tianheng spoke up.
As the young master of the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Clan and its future heir, he would be utterly failing his clan if he lacked any such sensitivity.
"You all to stop right there!"
Just at that moment, a sharp female voice suddenly rang out.
It was Huo Wu from the Blazing Fire Academy, followed by Xiao Tianfeng and Huo Wushuang.
Upon hearing the voice, the members of the Dou Huang Battle Team immediately halted their steps, then collectively, with bewildered faces, turned around to look.
Wasn't this their previous opponent, the captain of the Blazing Fire Academy team??
Why had she come after them out of the blue??
With her looking so incensed, what exactly was she planning to do??
"Hey, you got a problem??"
Yu Tianheng from behind looked towards Huo Wu, somewhat puzzled.
"I'm not looking for you, I'm looking for Ye Feng!"
Huo Wu said.
She had thought that someone today would be able to subdue this man.
But to her surprise, he even defeated the Martial Soul Fusion Skill of the Skywater Academy.
This time, she had made up her mind to enter the secret realm to train,
but before doing that, she wanted to vent her frustration.
That meant having a fight with Ye Feng!!
She wanted to prove that she only lacked slightly in terms of her Martial Soul compared to him!!
There was nothing else she fell short of!
"Huh????"
The team was dumbfounded.
They couldn't understand why this woman was looking for their instructor.
To date him??
That was unlikely.
Though the girl looked alright,
she still fell far short compared to those in their team,
especially Zhu Zhuqing, who completely outclassed her.
"Ye Feng, do you have the courage to fight with me again without using your Martial Soul!"
Huo Wu said at that moment with an imposing aura, directly addressing Ye Feng.
Her pair of red eyes was staring intently at Ye Feng.
"I'm busy!"
Ye Feng said coldly.
Why would he fight her? Was he idle?
Wouldn't sleeping be more comfortable with that time?
Besides, after the end of the preliminary competition, there were still many issues at Qingfeng Tower that hadn't been dealt with!
Old Poison Du Gubo had been complaining to him every day.
"You're asking for it!!"
Huo Wu was furious!
She couldn't believe that this man had utterly ignored her.
And he had even rejected her so callously and rudely.
She immediately attacked in the direction of Ye Feng with a fierce kick.
"Whoosh—"
Ye Feng was quick to react.
He directly caught her leg!
"Ah! It hurts!!"
Ye Feng, holding Huo Wu's leg, caused her to tightly purse her lips from the pain!
In the end, she couldn't help but cry out.
"Don't overestimate your capabilities."
Ye Feng glanced at her,
and said in a very cold tone.
With a flick of his hand,
Huo Wu, unable to maintain her balance, was thrown to the ground!
Standing behind her, Huo Wushuang and Xiao Tianfeng each quickly caught her from the back, fortunately preventing any mishap.
"Ye Feng, how dare you treat me like this, I will kill you!"
Huo Wu had not anticipated that she would be so blatantly disregarded by this man and treated so impolitely and roughly.
She was immediately enraged!!
Just as she was about to charge out for a three hundred round battle with Ye Feng, she saw Huo Wushuang quickly grabbing her hand, signaling her not to be too impulsive.
"Let's go,"
Ye Feng didn't pay any attention to Huo Wu and her group and instead just spoke and left towards a distant direction.
"Brother, what are you doing?!"
Huo Wu could not understand her brother's actions and looked extremely angry.
"Don't waste your energy, you are no match for him!"
```
At this moment, Huo Wushuang began to speak.
"Brother!!!"
Huo Wu had not expected her own brother to speak to her this way.
She admitted that she could not win with her Martial Soul.
But was she also unable to win in simple hand-to-hand combat?
She didn't believe it!!
"Silly little sister, if you really want to defeat him, you will need to train relentlessly. Didn't you say you wanted to enter the trial secret realm and train there for a month? Brother will accompany you, and we still have a chance in the promotion competition. I believe we can definitely do it!!"
Huo Wushuang said seriously to his sister, Huo Wu.
These were also his deepest thoughts.
"And don't forget about me, Huo Wu Sister; we didn't encounter him in the preliminaries, but I will make sure to help you defeat him in the promotion competition!"
Feng Xiaotian was now smirking as he spoke to Huo Wu.
To dare treat the woman he secretly loved this way, Ye Feng must really have the gall of a bear and the courage of a leopard.
In the promotion competition, he would make sure the other party paid a bloody price!!
Definitely!!
He would do as he said!!
Feng Xiaotian vowed in his heart.
In the rear of the team walked Shrek Academy.
"My dear monsters, don't be too sad. Although Tian Dou Royal Academy took the first place this time, it is a great honor for us Shrek Academy to have ranked ahead of Blazing Fire Academy and Skywater Academy. Plus, I don't have to worry about the advertising fees!"
Seeing everyone appearing downcast, at this moment Dean Flender spoke.
Today, their clothes all featured special advertising spots.
Unavoidably, Shrek Academy was recently financially strapped.
"Flender, is that how you comfort others? You're just hindering everyone's motivation to push forward. After all these years, you still haven't changed! So greedy!"
Upon hearing this statement, Grandmaster immediately retorted against Flender.
"Me???"
Flender, upon hearing this, took on a very surprised posture.
He was only trying to give everyone some encouragement.
Yet he had been rebuked again.
Who had he offended?
"Teachers, everyone, there's a month left until next month, and I want to go into seclusion!"
At that moment, Tang San spoke up.
"You want to go into seclusion? Then go ahead! Leave their training to me and Liu Erlong!"
After pondering for a moment, Grandmaster then spoke to Tang San.
Their goal was to beat Tian Dou Royal Academy and win the champion title in the promotion competition!
But training these people, he could only use general methods.
He could not guarantee anything for his own disciple.
And he could not train him separately.
So after some thought, he let him go.
"Thank you, teacher."
Tang San expressed his immense gratitude to his teacher.
"Dean Flender, I also apply for secluded training!"
At this moment, Dai Mubai spoke up.
"You apply too? What are you applying for? I won't allow it!!"
Before Flender could speak up, Grandmaster interjected.
"???"
Dai Mubai was full of question marks.
What was Yu Xiaogang doing??
Allowing only his own disciple to improve, and planning to continue spoiling him?
"Having watched your competition today, I decided that for the next month, Erlong and I will put you through intensive training, so none of you can leave!"
At this moment, Grandmaster declared.
"Intensive training??"
The crowd became even more bewildered.
And to be trained together with Teacher Liu Erlong?
Meanwhile, at Tian Dou Royal Academy.
Upon returning to the school, they were received by three members of the teaching committee.
Of course, Ye Feng wasn't interested in this.
Because he was all too familiar with these three members of the committee.
So familiar that they had once almost lost two lives hunting soul beasts in the Aquipeia Forest.
At this moment, he was in Qingfeng Tower.
"My heavens, Old Peel, you finally made it. I seriously thought you wanted to work me to death!!"
Seeing Ye Feng enter Qingfeng Tower, Du Gubo's hazy eyes finally sparkled back to life.
"How's it been, Old Poison?"
Ye Feng asked.
"How's it been? Things have been quite good. Our Ling Feng Sect now boasts three Soul Douluos, twenty Soul Sages, and some Soul Emperors as well. In short, our power is growing, and the sect overall has over five hundred Martial Soul Masters of Soul King grade and above. We've even started to form partnerships with some kingdoms and principalities."
Du Gubo explained it to him.
After all, Qingfeng Tower was his life's effort.
While tiring, it was indeed very meaningful to him.
"Oho?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Feng widened his eyes in surprise!
