Xuanwu War Sovereign

Chapter 398: Chapter 397: Seen Getting a Room

The white-robed middle-aged man turned and left, his figure vanishing into thin air. Before he disappeared, however, he gave Qin Feng a meaningful look.

This kid was truly lawless.

However, even though the kid was lawless, he didn’t use that energy to cause trouble for All Stars Academy. His defiance was directed outward, not inward, which greatly pleased the white-robed middle-aged man.

An idea suddenly occurred to the white-robed middle-aged man.

’This kid’s a troublemaker, but he’s a natural-born War General—charging into battle without a shred of fear. Perhaps the front lines are his true stage!’

...

On the tournament stage, after the white-robed middle-aged man left, an Elder flew up and announced, "The winner of the third match is Qin Feng!"

The moment the match ended, the crowd erupted.

To kill an expert at the Sea of Reincarnation Second Realm while only being at the Vein Condensation Human Extreme Realm—such a feat was nothing short of terrifying.

That final orange flame, in particular, made many of the other geniuses wary.

Stepping off the stage, Qin Feng glanced around the arena. The third round was over; the fourth would be the top 100 competition.

Qin Feng felt a bit of pressure. The third match had been this difficult; the top 100 competition would likely be even more intense.

Qin Feng knew in his heart that the Nine Great Empires had now completely locked their sights on him. If he were to encounter the strongest of them, the Nine Dragon Emperor’s Son, he would likely face a life-or-death battle.

On top of that, there were some top prodigies from All Stars Academy who were in no way inferior to the Nine Dragon Emperor’s Son.

In the previous matches, those prodigies had barely made a move, casually knocking their opponents off the stage.

Making it into the top ten of All Stars Academy would be terrifyingly difficult.

Qin Feng’s heart grew heavy.

Just as he reached the entrance to the rest area, a girl in fiery red robes blocked his path.

The red-robed girl looked Qin Feng up and down, her gaze shimmering like misty waves.

"Junior Sister Ji?"

Qin Feng tried to guess the girl’s intentions.

’Could it be? Did she find out the true value of those two Top-Spirit Fires? No, that doesn’t seem right. With her temper, she would’ve attacked me already.’ As he thought this, Qin Feng’s eyes lit up.

’Don’t tell me this Junior Sister has another great treasure to trade?’

"Qin Feng, what was that Divine Ability? It didn’t seem like the Nine Revolutions Spiritual Fire Great Divine Power!" Ji Huang’Er was full of curiosity, her mind still fixated on that ball of orange flame.

The profound mysteries and obscure power radiating from that Flame Divine Ability were, to her, like a gourmet feast to a foodie—infinitely alluring.

After much consideration, she had decided she had to ask.

"Oh, so Junior Sister has taken a fancy to my Fire Attribute Great Divine Power!" Qin Feng let out a sigh of relief, then raised an eyebrow and refused.

"Junior Sister Ji, that’s my secret. I can’t tell you."

Hearing this, Ji Huang’Er snorted. She knew this guy wouldn’t act without an incentive.

But that was normal. A personal ultimate skill usually involved a lineage’s inheritance and wouldn’t be revealed unless the relationship was exceptionally good.

However, she had come prepared.

Ji Huang’Er sent a telepathic message. "Qin Feng, give me the Cultivation Technique for that Divine Ability, and I’ll tell you the location of a small-scale Ancient Ruin!"

"What kind of Ancient Ruins?" Qin Feng’s eyes lit up. Ancient Ruins were synonymous with treasure.

He had only risen from obscurity because he had obtained the Mystic Turtle Divine Pill from the Six Tripods Divine Temple. Every Ancient Ruin held immense value.

Qin Feng looked at Ji Huang’Er with some suspicion. This girl wouldn’t be this kind for no reason.

"What are you looking at, you scoundrel!" For some reason, whenever Qin Feng stared at her, Ji Huang’Er always felt a little uneasy, as if she were in great danger.

Qin Feng rubbed his nose. This girl’s temper really was something else.

"So are you going to agree or not? Hurry up, don’t be such a woman!" Ji Huang’Er snorted coldly.

"I’m being a woman? You’re the one acting like a man!" Qin Feng muttered under his breath.

Ji Huang’Er glared at Qin Feng maliciously. "What did you say?"

"I said you’re very beautiful!" Qin Feng said with a perfectly straight face.

"Is that so?" Ji Huang’Er looked skeptical.

Qin Feng chuckled and after a moment said, "Let’s go inside to talk. There are too many eyes and ears here. It’s easy for complications to arise."

In truth, Qin Feng wasn’t entirely against trading the Cultivation Technique for the Chaos Fire Disaster Divine Ability.

Everything had a price. As long as the benefits were great enough to move him, anything was negotiable.

Besides, the power of the Chaos Fire Divine Technique depended on the cultivator, not just the technique itself.

A thousand people could practice the Chaos Fire Divine Technique, and there would be a thousand different levels of power.

The Spirit Fires Qin Feng had found were all Top-Spirit Fires. He was confident that even if others cultivated the same Divine Ability, he could suppress them with his power alone.

Still, Qin Feng wouldn’t just hand over the Chaos Fire Divine Technique for cheap. He was a notorious skinflint; he was always the one taking advantage of others, never the other way around.

The two walked side-by-side toward the rest area. For the sake of the transaction, they got a room together.

What Qin Feng didn’t know was that just as they were getting the room, two people happened to see them.

At the entrance to the rest area, Bai Yan’Er and Xuan Wuji were just walking in.

"That bastard... he’s such a player! Getting a room with a junior sister in the middle of a tournament, he just can’t wait!" Bai Yan’Er bit her lower lip hard, a flash of anger in her eyes.

Bai Yan’Er didn’t even know where this anger came from; she just felt an extreme discomfort in the pit of her stomach.

"Junior Sister Bai, what’s wrong?" A strange glint appeared in Xuan Wuji’s eyes. He noticed that every time she saw that Fourth Grade Alchemist named Qin Feng, his junior sister’s mood became unsettled.

’Could it be that Junior Sister Bai has feelings for this young man, Qin Feng?’

Xuan Wuji’s eyes turned cold, but he immediately rejected the idea, thinking to himself, ’Impossible. According to my investigation, Junior Sister Bai and Qin Feng have never crossed paths before. Yesterday was the first time they met. Besides, Junior Sister Bai has always been pure and aloof, never giving even the top geniuses the time of day. How could she fall for a boy who isn’t even fifteen yet?’

’Is it because the Beiling Sect has been trying to assassinate him? No, that’s not right either. Even if the Beiling Sect wanted him dead, it wouldn’t cause the slightest ripple in Junior Sister Bai’s composure.’

With a thousand thoughts racing through his mind, Xuan Wuji decided to continue observing in secret.

’Qin Feng, I hope you don’t get entangled with Junior Sister Bai in any way. Otherwise, even if you are a prized disciple of the Star Sect, you will die!’

"It’s nothing!" Bai Yan’Er was in a foul mood and turned to leave. ’Qin Feng, you lecher, I won’t let you get away with this!’

...

Inside the special-grade lounge.

"This is an Earth Soul Pearl, a Treasure of Heaven and Earth born only after Earth Essence Spirit Qi has been nurtured by an Earth Vein for over ten thousand years. Junior Sister Ji Huang’er, you really have quite the fortune, don’t you?"

Qin Feng’s body trembled, his gaze fixed on a pale yellow Treasure Pearl in Ji Huang’Er’s hand.

This was a top-tier Earth Attribute treasure, the best possible item for condensing an Earth Attribute Spirit Vein!

’This little rich girl is truly loaded. Whoever marries her will be set for life!’ Looking at the pearl, Qin Feng couldn’t help but have this thought.

But more than that, his heart burned with desire.

"Qin Feng, if I’m not mistaken, you practice the Circulation Five Elements Secret Technique from the Vein Condensing Secret Technique section of the Mixed Element Star Technique! You need to achieve Five Elements Vein Condensation. Among the Five Elements, fire creates earth, so you should be in need of an Earth Attribute Treasure!"

Ji Huang’Er’s eyes held a cunning glint.
