Xuanwu War Sovereign

Chapter 401: Chapter 400: East Sea Emperor’s Son

’Cursing inwardly,’ Qin Feng thought as he turned his head to Chi Ling’Er and said,

"That Master Wu Guanghai from the Martial God Empire... what are you going to do about him?"

At the mention of Wu Guanghai, Chi Ling’Er’s brow furrowed. He scratched his head in frustration. He had verbally offended the Martial Arts Giant before, and now that man had become a thorn in his side.

Qin Feng glanced at his Junior Brother Chi Ling’Er and grinned.

’Even I would find it a huge hassle to be targeted by a Martial Arts Giant.’

’This threat has to be eliminated as soon as possible!’

"Life won’t be easy with a Martial Arts Giant watching your every move. If he’s targeting you day and night, even with your powerful background, Junior Brother Chi Ling’Er, it would be impossible to guard against him completely!"

"As the saying goes, a thief can try to steal for a thousand days, but you can’t be on guard for a thousand days!"

Seeing Chi Ling’Er’s grim expression, Qin Feng spoke as if the thought had just occurred to him. "If I were to offend such a powerful expert, I would definitely strike first. I’d hit him with a thunderous blow and annihilate him before he has a chance to retaliate!"

Qin Feng looked at Chi Ling’Er and said earnestly, "Strike first to gain the upper hand, or wait and suffer the consequences!"

This was blatant instigation.

"Senior Brother, but he’s a Martial Arts Giant!"

Chi Ling’Er felt Qin Feng’s words were very reasonable, but he was in a difficult position.

A Martial Arts Giant wasn’t some petty thief you could kill whenever you wanted!

Qin Feng spoke nonchalantly. "What’s the big deal? Junior Brother Chi Ling’Er, you come from a powerful sect. It shouldn’t be a problem to pull in a few Martial Arts Giant Level Elders, right? You’re Elder Chi’s only son. Do you really think Elder Chi would sit by and watch you get killed?"

Chi Ling’Er’s eyes lit up. "Hey, you’re right! Why didn’t I think of my old man? If he knew his only son was being targeted, he wouldn’t just sit there and let his family line end, would he!"

"Senior Brother, that’s a brilliant move! Instead of letting that old thief Wu stare me down all day, it’s better to catch him by surprise and have my senior brothers take him out together!"

Hearing Chi Ling’Er’s bold words, Qin Feng nodded in great approval.

’That’s more like it!’

’You benefit, and I benefit.’

Chi Ling’Er left cheerfully.

Qin Feng didn’t know that a few days later, a particularly vicious assassination would take place just outside the City of Many Stars.

Seven or eight Martial Arts Giants besieged Master Wu Guanghai of the Martial God Empire. Master Wu fought bravely, but he was no match for their combined assault and was blasted to bits in just a few exchanges.

It was rumored to be a conspiracy by the Demon God Temple, aimed at sowing discord between the Star Sect and the Nine Great Empires.

...

「Houwu District.」

Elder Nanfeng, who was guarding the entrance, saw a familiar black-robed figure appear. His eyes lit up, and he immediately walked over.

"Junior Brother, what took you so long? The drawing for the top 100 tournament is about to start!" Elder Nanfeng complained. The drawing was already almost over.

Hearing this, Qin Feng looked up just as a graceful, green-clothed maiden approached.

"Senior Brother Qin Feng, please come up to the stage for the drawing!" The maiden had bright eyes and pearly teeth, and her voice was very pleasant.

Qin Feng nodded. His gaze swept over to a counter not far away, where most people had already finished drawing their lots.

The moment Qin Feng appeared, numerous gazes fell upon him.

In the audience, many local nobles were sizing up this rising star from the All Stars Academy.

The Elder of the Cyan Dragon Academy.

A Fourth Grade Alchemist!

And especially his demonstrated combat prowess—killing a Sea of Reincarnation Strongman while only at the Condensing Vein Realm. Every one of these facts struck a sensitive nerve with the onlookers.

Meanwhile, in the Houwu District, some of the top 100 contestants were also sizing up the black-robed young man.

Qin Feng felt immense pressure. Among the contestants who had made it into the top 100, those at the Condensing Vein Realm were few and far between.

SWISH!

Just then, a figure in a flowing red dress appeared at the entrance of the Houwu Room. The dress accentuated her graceful and extremely voluptuous figure. Her black hair cascaded to her waist, and her stunningly beautiful face could topple nations.

Countless gazes instantly fell upon her.

Her beautiful eyes swept across the arena. When her gaze landed on Qin Feng, she snorted softly. She then strode to the drawing station with sharp, deliberate steps, yet her posture remained graceful. Reaching the station, her jade-like hand reached into the red wooden box and pulled out a Jade Slip.

She broke the layer of paraffin wax that coated the Jade Slip, which was meant to block Divine Thought.

"Number eighty-eight!"

Qin Feng glanced at the number on the Jade Slip in the young woman’s hand. He then casually reached into the wooden box and randomly picked one of the few remaining slips.

A wisp of Spirit Fire burned away the wax.

"Twenty-two!"

Soon, Qin Feng knew who his opponent was.

Number eighty-eight versus number twelve.

Number twenty-two versus number seventy-eight.

Qin Feng looked at the posted roster.

Number Twenty-Two, Qin Feng, versus Long Zhan!

The name Long Zhan was quite common, but the title ’East Sea Emperor’s Son of the Nine Dragon Emperor’s Sons’ was as loud as thunder.

Long Zhan, the East Sea Emperor’s Son, one of the Nine Dragon Emperor’s Sons!

’A tough opponent!’

Qin Feng’s brows knitted tightly. Although Long Zhan wasn’t ranked in the top three among the Nine Dragon Emperor’s Sons, his strength was still among the absolute peak.

Suddenly, Qin Feng’s expression shifted. A heroic young man in a Python Robe was watching him from a distance.

The young man looked to be seventeen or eighteen. His entire being was filled with a kind of majesty, and as he stood there, he gave off the feeling of a True Dragon descending upon the world.

It was as if countless True Dragons were coiled around him. He was a Divine Dragon in human form, wielding the divine power to rule the land.

A True Dragon Emperor!

The phrase flashed through Qin Feng’s mind.

This young man exuded a sense of immense pressure, as if a thick, overwhelming aura of an emperor was washing over Qin Feng.

Qin Feng spoke aloud. "Long Zhan, the East Sea Emperor’s Son!"

Long Zhan’s eyes were piercing as he strode forward. An imposing aura pressed down on Qin Feng—a pressure that stemmed from being completely outmatched in strength. The expressions of the peerless geniuses around them changed, and they involuntarily cleared a path.

As if respectfully welcoming the arrival of a King.

A voice drifted over faintly.

"Qin Feng, you are no match for this Prince!" Long Zhan glanced at Qin Feng with indifference. "I have no desire to kill you. I am not interested in opponents who have yet to mature. I do not wish to see you in the arena!"

"If you truly appear in the arena when the time comes, I might not be able to stop myself from killing you!"

"This isn’t a threat. It is a piece of well-intentioned advice. It would be a pity for a genius like you to die by my hands!"

After one last indifferent glance at Qin Feng, Long Zhan turned and left.

Overbearing!

Domineering!

SWISH!

The gazes of the many geniuses nearby simultaneously fell on Qin Feng. He remained silent, his black-robed figure looking thin and fragile beneath the roster.

Some geniuses secretly felt it was a pity for Qin Feng. Long Zhan was too powerful. Although Qin Feng had used a Great Divine Ability to slay a genius at the Sea of Reincarnation Realm, the gap between him and Long Zhan was simply too vast.

Some of the prodigies from All Stars Academy glanced over before quickly looking away. After all, Qin Feng was just a new student.

Just being able to enter the top 100 tournament was surprising enough.

Long Zhan was a truly significant powerhouse, and many believed that Qin Feng’s fate in this fourth match was already sealed.

It wasn’t that they looked down on Qin Feng, but that his time at the All Stars Academy had been too limited. To have such a leap in cultivation in just one short year was already pushing the limits.

Even though Qin Feng’s performance had been monstrously talented, he ultimately hadn’t had enough time, and this limited his development.

Standing his ground, Qin Feng frowned for a moment, then glanced at Long Zhan’s departing figure. His eyes narrowed slightly, and the corners of his mouth curved into a faint smile.
