Xuanwu War Sovereign

Chapter 395: Chapter 394: The 3rd Match, a Formidable Opponent

In the silver-themed VIP area, the expressions of several Sovereigns darkened as they watched the scene.

A dozen or so immense Divine Thoughts were exchanged.

"This boy is actually a reincarnated Star Constellation’s Son!"

"And Lin Tong! He was also a genius, a reincarnated Star Constellation’s Son. What a pity. He was slain by someone from All Stars Academy before we could discover him!"

"These reincarnated Star Constellation’s Sons are the kind of talents who thrive in chaotic times. We absolutely cannot let them live!"

"Indeed. These Star Constellation’s Sons are an immense danger if left alive. For every one of them the Star Sect gains, the space for our kingdoms to survive is squeezed even further. They pose an enormous threat to our plans. We must eradicate them early, before they have a chance to mature!"

...

As the many Divine Thoughts clashed, waves of killing intent began to brew.

「Houwu District.」

After devouring the Taibai Star, countless insights about it flooded Qin Feng’s mind. However, these insights were hazy and indistinct, as if viewed through a veil he couldn’t yet pierce.

The Primordial Star Origin swelled.

Within his Star River, the light radiating from the Primordial Star grew even more magnificent.

At that moment, a thread of incomparably pure power flowed from the Primordial Star Mark into Qin Feng’s body. With just a single circulation, his meridians, bones, and even his very flesh and blood were tempered.

His entire body began to emit a silvery-white glow.

’This is feedback from Star Power. Could it be that devouring other Star Constellation’s Sons also provides feedback to the host, just like killing a giant Nebula Beast in the Star River?’

Qin Feng’s eyes widened in astonishment.

This stream of power seemed to contain an indescribable Profound Mystery. Qin Feng suddenly found that the speed at which he circulated the Mixed Element Star Technique had increased significantly.

It seemed his affinity for Star Power had grown stronger.

Qin Feng realized his body was transforming into the legendary Star God Body.

The Star God Body—like the Demon God Body, Fire God Body, and Water God Body—belonged to the class of Demon God Bodies.

After this mystical thread of power merged with the Primordial Level Void True Power in his body, its very essence was elevated once more, and it began to emit an incomparably pure, spiritual glow.

This chain reaction, like falling dominoes, caused nearly a third of the Ancient Poison Fire in his body to be refined in an instant.

Before long, the Ancient Poison Fire would be completely refined.

The second round of the competition was in full swing. After two rounds of eliminations, only about four hundred geniuses advanced to the third.

Qin Feng had been cultivating in seclusion in the rest area. Since he had accidentally revealed his identity as a reincarnated Star Constellation’s Son in the Arena of the Stars, he suspected that he was now being targeted by experts from the Nine Great Empires.

The Nine Great Empires and All Stars Academy were already showing signs of open rivalry, and Qin Feng had no desire to become a target.

During this time, Baiyun and Yun Mo had come to see him in the rest area. The two women seemed somewhat awkward, and Yun Mo’s expression was especially grim.

He exchanged a few words with Baiyun, who seemed to sense the tense atmosphere and pulled Yun Mo away.

Yun Mo didn’t say a single word the entire time.

Seeing this, Qin Feng decided not to bother with her.

After the second round ended, Qin Feng had become acquainted with some of the prodigies from the Nine Great Empires.

The prodigies from the Nine Great Empires were no weaker than the top Inner Sect Disciples of the Star Sect. Even Qin Feng was alarmed by the power of the nine strongest among them.

Most of these nine hailed from the royal families of the Nine Great Empires, while the other two were from powerful Commandery Kingdoms.

These nine were known as the Nine Dragon Emperor’s Sons.

Qin Feng predicted that a great battle was coming.

In half a day, the refinement of the Ancient Poison Flame accelerated. By a couple of hours before the third round, Qin Feng had already refined nearly two-thirds of it.

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

In the rest area, Elder Nanfeng hurried over.

"Junior Brother, you’re in trouble this time!"

"Senior Brother Nanfeng, what’s wrong?" Qin Feng looked up.

Qin Feng looked at Elder Nanfeng in surprise. The elder looked deeply worried, and Qin Feng could sense his tension.

"Ah, Junior Brother, your luck is really bad this time. Your opponent is Qu Ao, the man known as the strongest genius of the Nine Great Empires, second only to the Nine Dragon Emperor’s Sons!"

Qin Feng furrowed his brow. He had heard of Qu Ao’s reputation. The man was a genius from the Shituo Empire, one of the Nine Great Empires. He came from a noble background—a peerless genius from the Qu Family of Duke You, one of the Three Dukes of the Country.

The Qu Family of Duke You was one of the leading families in the Shituo Empire, possessing a deep and storied heritage.

Qu Ao was already a famous genius in the Shituo Empire to begin with. Later, through a fortunate encounter, he obtained the inheritance of an Ancient Sect, making his power even more formidable. He was already as strong as some experts of the older generation.

Qu Ao enjoyed a tremendous reputation among the geniuses of the Shituo Empire.

The Star Sect had tried to recruit him, but he had refused.

The man was extremely hostile toward All Stars Academy. In the previous two rounds, the two geniuses from the academy he faced had both been grievously injured by him—one was killed, the other crippled.

The survivor had his limbs severed and his cultivation destroyed, a truly miserable fate.

Elder Nanfeng was exceptionally worried. The young man before him was not just the Elder of Cyan Dragon Academy, but also the chief alchemist of Medicine King Hall and an Inner Sect Disciple personally designated by the sect.

If anything happened to Qin Feng, he would bear considerable responsibility as well.

"Senior Brother Nanfeng, don’t worry. Qu Ao may be formidable, but I, Qin Feng, am no pushover. I’m not someone who can be bullied by just anyone!"

Qin Feng rubbed his nose and grinned.

Qin Feng rose to his feet and walked toward the Arena of the Stars.

Glancing at the several fighting stages, Qin Feng’s gaze landed on Stage Three. A youth of seventeen or eighteen in a white robe stood there proudly, his hands clasped behind his back. His expression was placid, yet he gave off the impression that all the spiritual essence between heaven and earth had converged upon him.

He exuded a perfect, spiritual aura.

As he stood proudly on the stage, the very air, light, and temperature around him seemed to warp, giving him a faint, unfathomable, and eerily formless quality.

As if sensing Qin Feng’s gaze, he suddenly turned, his eyes landing on Qin Feng.

"Qin Feng!"

"That’s right, it’s me. Qu Ao, I’ve heard of your reputation. Your strength is formidable, and you’re a worthy opponent. I expect I’ll have much to gain from a battle with you!"

A sharp battle intent flashed in his eyes as Qin Feng leaped onto the stage.

"I can’t wait either. I recently acquired a new Spirit Sword, and it needs the blood of a superior genius to be consecrated. Although your cultivation is only at the Condensing Vein Realm, you are the Elder of Cyan Dragon Academy and a Fourth Grade Alchemist. You’re young and full of vigorous Blood Qi. Killing you will surely cause my Spirit Sword’s spiritual power to soar!"

Qu Ao stood in robes as white as snow, his eyes like those of a Nine Nether Demon God, captivating and soul-stealing. The words he spoke were incomparably domineering, showing utter contempt for everyone else.

Qin Feng frowned, but a moment later, a cold sneer flickered across his face. "Then we’ll have to see if you have the skill for it."
