Xuanwu War Sovereign

Chapter 389: Chapter 388: The Beauty Reappears

Countless cheers and shouts echoed around the vast and open Arena of the Stars.

Directly in front of the central field was a silver dais, and behind it, the silver VIP area.

Silver was the signature style of All Stars Academy, representing nobility and eternity.

This was the VIP area, where members of the various empires’ Royal Families, the heads of many great clans, and a host of powerful experts had gathered to watch.

A large waiting area for the combatants was sectioned off on the spacious field. The prodigies from the Nine Great Empires who had entered earlier were already seated, waiting for their turn to compete.

Countless gazes were fixed on this spot.

As each empire’s team entered, an emcee would announce them.

"And entering last are the competing teams from All Stars Academy! Cyan Dragon Academy, White Tiger Academy, Vermilion Bird Academy, and Xuanwu Academy all have long and storied histories. This time, All Stars Academy has sent ten students from each of its four grade levels to compete—these are the absolute top geniuses of their respective years!"

"Among them are peerless War Generals who have left trails of slaughter, future leaders who will command heroes in every direction, and the youngest, most renowned Alchemist... They are the most supreme, unparalleled prodigies in the Domain of All Stars! Let’s look forward to their performance..."

Four orderly teams appeared.

The first to appear were the experts from the fourth year of All Stars Academy: Yue Ji, known as the Moon Goddess; Zhong Lin, captain of the White Sun Team; Cai Wu, captain of the Glazed Team; Ling Shuanghua, the current Pavilion Master of Heaven’s Edge Sea Pavilion; Tan Mingfeng, Dominator of the Five Elements Team; and Wang Dao Yi, Dominator of the Taichu Team... One by one, these powerhouses emerged to the gazes of the entire crowd.

The second team was composed of the top experts from the third year. Several peerless prodigies clad in Silver Battle Armor walked out, stirring up a frenzied wave of excitement.

The third team consisted of the second-year experts.

Lin Fei, Jin Ruyi, Zhang Xuan, War King Ouyang Yu, Flame Monarch Luo Lie, Bai Xuanyue, King Luo, and Ye Youming emerged from the side.

The fourth team was the geniuses from the new freshman class.

Qin Feng appeared at the very front of the team, meeting a baptism of countless gazes, each with a different meaning. His face remained expressionless.

Behind Qin Feng were Elder Vermilion Bird Ji Huang’Er, Elder White Tiger Chi Ling’Er, Elder Black Tortoise Lu Tianjun, Qian Kai, Ling Du Xu, Zhangsun Wu Ya, and Wan Jianyi.

After the competitors from All Stars Academy had entered, the atmosphere in the arena reached its peak.

’So lively!’

Though his expression was calm, Qin Feng’s gaze swept over his surroundings. As a former Demigod Level existence, he had seen his fair share of the world, yet an arena of this colossal scale was still a novel sight.

Entering the arena felt like stepping into a kingdom of God-Demons. It was as if a massive mountain peak had been moved here out of thin air and its core carved out.

Over there, a dozen or so auras blazed like scorching suns.

More than half of the Peak Masters from the Star Sect’s Twenty-eight Peaks had come this time.

On the dais, an Elder acting as the emcee spoke eloquently, after which he invited several Giants to give speeches.

The cheers from the crowd were as loud as thunder, but Qin Feng simply sat in his chair with his eyes closed to rest, not paying close attention to what these experts were saying.

His Chaos Fire Divine Technique had integrated its thirteenth Spirit Fire, the Taiyin Spirit Fire, and its power had grown by leaps and bounds.

Currently, the Ancient Poison Flame within his body was being refined, strand by strand. The virulent poison contained within the Ancient Poison Flame was potent enough to kill a Martial Arts Giant, but it was useless against Qin Feng.

The Ancient Poison Flame was a venomous flame that embodied the ultimate yin and demonic energies of heaven and earth. Qin Feng, however, was the ancestor of all things yin and demonic, and he also possessed the Divine Map known as the Abyssal Demon Map.

Qin Feng had no fewer than a dozen ways to refine the Ancient Poison Flame.

Combined with the fact that he had cultivated his Void True Power to the Primordial Level, refining the Ancient Poison Flame was truly not difficult.

At this moment, he could feel the Ancient Poison Flame being refined strand by strand into his Chaos Fire Divine Technique.

With a top-tier Spirit Fire like the Ancient Poison Flame—a flame just a hair’s breadth away from becoming a Heaven and Earth Divine Fire—being integrated into the Chaos Fire, the Chaos Fire’s might was bound to undergo an earth-shattering transformation.

...

While Qin Feng was resting with his eyes closed, a devastatingly beautiful woman in white, sitting in a chair very near the front of the VIP section, was staring at him with her delicate brows furrowed.

’Why do I feel such a familiar aura from this young man?!’

"Junior Sister Yan’er, what’s wrong? Do you know that boy from All Stars Academy?" a gentle, magnetic voice asked from beside her.

The speaker was an incredibly handsome young man, around twenty-three or twenty-four years old, dressed in a golden robe. He exuded an indescribable air of nobility.

His supreme noble bearing, combined with his impossibly handsome face and gentle, affectionate eyes, made him seem like an absolutely perfect man.

Many of the young women nearby would occasionally steal glances at him, their expressions revealing their racing hearts.

The young women seated in the VIP area were no ordinary girls; their status, Cultivation, talent, and perspective were all far beyond those of common women.

For this man to capture their attention, he was undoubtedly the epitome of perfection.

"Sigh, if only Young Master Xuan would take a liking to me. I’d willingly give up a few years of my life just to be with him!"

"Stop daydreaming. Do you know who Xuan Wuji is? He’s the Young Sect Master of the Qiankun Sect, the strongest genius in the sect’s history, and the future Qiankun Sect Leader! He cultivated one of the Qiankun Sect’s True Inheritances, the All Dharma Realms, and advanced to the Sea of Reincarnation Realm at the age of fifteen! Rumor has it he’s the reincarnation of a Divine Spirit. With a status like that, why would he ever look at a common, painted girl like you!"

"Did you just call me a common, painted girl?"

"Compared to Bai Yan’er, the so-called number one beauty of the Northern Spirit Realm, what are you if not a common, painted girl!"

Upon hearing the name Bai Yan’er, all the young women fell silent. Their gazes fell upon the stunningly beautiful woman in white beside the golden-robed young man, and they all looked crestfallen.

Bai Yan’er was not only the number one beauty of the Northern Spirit Realm; her talent in the Martial Dao was also absolutely stunning. It was said that she had advanced to the Sea of Reincarnation Realm half a year ago and was taken in as a personal disciple by the current Sect Leader of the Beiling Sect.

In the eyes of many, Bai Yan’er and Xuan Wuji were widely acknowledged as a perfect couple, a Golden Boy and Jade Girl.

Furthermore, rumors were spreading from the Beiling Sect that they intended to form a marriage alliance with the Qiankun Sect to jointly suppress the Star Sect.

Just as many young women had their eyes on Xuan Wuji, even more young men had their sights set on Bai Yan’er. However, with Xuan Wuji by her side, no one dared to approach and greet her, intimidated by his formidable reputation.

...

Listening to the noisy chatter around her, Bai Yan’er furrowed her delicate brows as she looked at the young man resting with his eyes closed in the competition area. She was reminded of some unpleasant memories.

A broken half of a Jade Pendant appeared in her slender, fair hand.

Looking at the young man, Bai Yan’er had a gut feeling. She was almost certain he was the person from her memory.

The moment she thought of what had happened in that cave, a flash of uncontrollable anger flickered across Bai Yan’er’s beautiful face. Xuan Wuji, watching her from the side, noticed her expression. A hint of surprise appeared in his eyes before his gaze shifted to the black-robed young man in the arena.

A glint of coldness flashed in his eyes, but in the next moment, Xuan Wuji had returned to his gentle and refined demeanor.

He waved his hand, and a man dressed as a follower immediately came over.

"Go investigate who that person is and whether he has any connection to Junior Sister Yan’er," Xuan Wuji ordered, his gaze fixed on the black-robed young man.

...

After an unknown amount of time, just as Qin Feng felt he had refined nearly one-fifth of the Ancient Poison Flame in his body, a voice suddenly reached his ears.

"Junior Brother Qin Feng, it’s your turn!"
