Xuanwu War Sovereign

Chapter 407: Chapter 406: The Lady’s Invitation

Below the arena, Ye Ding’s expression soured as he watched the black-robed young man on stage, whose cultivation had clearly advanced significantly.

"Damn him! How is he so lucky!"

Nearby, Ding Li’s expression was grim. He shot Ye Ding a glance, then turned and walked away.

Zhang Mu also turned and left.

Now that Qin Feng had completely refined the Emperor Purple Qi, their opportunity was lost.

"Senior Brother Ye, are we really going to let Qin Feng get away with this?" A handsome man with a face as fair as jade walked up to him. His gaze occasionally drifted to the black-robed young man on the stage, his eyes filled with a bone-deep hatred.

He was none other than Yu Fuchen, the Cave Master of Celestial Unity Cave. Qin Feng had previously stormed his residence and stolen his concubine.

After several months in seclusion, Yu Fuchen had finally recovered from his injuries.

However, upon emerging from his seclusion, what made Yu Fuchen want to cough up blood was the realization that Qin Feng’s power and influence were already firmly established.

Whether it was Qin Feng’s status as a Fourth Grade Alchemist or as the chief alchemist of Medicine King Hall, Yu Fuchen could not afford to provoke him.

But the memory of that day’s utter humiliation was a bitter pill he could not swallow. Eventually, he ran into Ye Ding and, after much deliberation, decided to throw in his lot with the highly sought-after, newly-promoted Fourth Grade Alchemist.

At first, he had only tentatively planned to ask Ye Ding to deal with Qin Feng, never imagining that the man already harbored his own resentment toward him.

Already in a foul mood, Ye Ding shot Yu Fuchen a cold glare and promptly turned to leave.

Having been subtly rebuffed, Yu Fuchen felt a flash of displeasure. He could only suppress his frustration, glance over at Qin Feng, and then hurry to catch up with Ye Ding.

On another side of the arena, Bai Yan’Er watched this scene unfold from a lounge, a peculiar glint flickering in her beautiful eyes.

After a moment of contemplation, she suddenly let out a cold laugh and turned to leave.

...

’What a powerful feeling. The True Power of the Primordial Level’s Second Layer is on a completely different level from the First Layer!’

As Qin Feng felt his newfound power, he was absolutely certain that if he were to face Long Zhan now, he could kill him.

After Qin Feng’s fourth match, the fourth round of the competition was finally drawing to a close.

The fifth round was about to begin.

After drawing his number, Qin Feng gave it a cursory glance. He didn’t much care who his opponent for this round would be.

The fifth round would narrow the field from fifty contestants down to twenty-five.

Anyone who made it into the top fifty was bound to be formidable. This was definitely going to be a tough fight.

’I can use this time to condense all twelve of my Earth Element Spiritual Veins. Good thing I already exchanged for a batch of Earth Element Spiritual Objects at the Contribution Hall. Once the twelve Earth Element Spiritual Veins take shape, then since Earth begets Gold, I can start condensing my Gold Element Spiritual Veins!’

’If I can manage to condense the Five Elements Spiritual Veins, I’ll be able to handle even those top-tier prodigies they call Little Giants with ease!’

At Qin Feng’s current Realm, as long as he had the necessary Spiritual Objects, achieving the Meridian Condensation Five Extremes Realm was only a matter of time.

For other geniuses, breaking through to the Sea of Reincarnation Realm was an incredibly arduous task.

For Qin Feng, however, it was as easy as waving his hand.

Qin Feng’s foundation was simply too profound. Moreover, having already broken through to the Sea of Reincarnation Realm once before, he possessed the necessary insights. Breaking through again would be effortless.

A short while later, Qin Feng ran into Ji Huang’Er in the contestant waiting area.

The red-robed young woman was walking alongside a silver-haired young woman.

"Senior Sister Yue Ji?" Qin Feng’s eyes fell upon the silver-haired young woman, a flash of stunned admiration in their depths.

The two women walked side-by-side, their graceful figures and exquisite faces shining like the bright moon, robbing the world of its luster.

By now, Qin Feng was something of a celebrity himself, but the moment the two women appeared, they completely stole the spotlight.

Instantly, all eyes in the area fell upon the two of them.

Even though he had seen Yue Ji several times before, Qin Feng was still struck by her stunning, moon-like beauty and her aloof expression.

’To think a woman of such otherworldly beauty exists in this world. The heavens have truly blessed her!’

Admiring her inwardly, a faint smile touched Qin Feng’s otherwise stern face.

"Junior Brother Qin Feng, congratulations on reaching the fifth round!" Yue Ji’s enchanting eyes swept over the black-robed young man. Her gaze was captivating, and a smile touched her cool, clear face. Her stunning beauty and grace left countless young men staring in a daze.

"I truly didn’t expect this. Not only are you highly accomplished in the art of alchemy, Junior Brother, but your Martial Dao is just as impressive. Reaching the fifth round at the Vein Condensation Human Extreme Realm of cultivation... that’s a feat few have ever managed in the history of the Star Martial Arts Assembly!" Yue Ji remarked with a sigh. Honestly, the way Qin Feng had defeated Long Zhan had truly caught her by surprise.

"You’re too kind, Senior Sister! My meager strength is nothing special. You, on the other hand, are known as the Taiyin Divine Girl of All Stars Academy. You’ve been sweeping through the competition. I heard you even knocked Chu Sa, one of the Nine Dragon Emperor’s Sons, off the stage in just three moves!"

"Alright, that’s enough, you two. Stop trading compliments!" A flash of annoyance crossed Ji Huang’Er’s pretty face.

Qin Feng glanced at the red-robed young woman, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Ji Huang’Er had been rather unlucky in the fourth round. She had run into Xi Yan, the so-called Son of Light. Xi Yan’s Light Divine Technique was incredibly powerful, and even though Ji Huang’Er had successfully cultivated the Nine Revolutions Spiritual Fire Great Divine Power with Qin Feng’s help, she was still defeated.

Noticing the smile at the corner of Qin Feng’s mouth, the red-robed young woman shot him a fierce glare. "What are you smiling at? Don’t think you’re guaranteed a spot in the top ten just because you won a match!"

"It’s hard to say if I’ll make the top ten, but at least I’m a tiny bit stronger than a certain someone, right?" Qin Feng shot a sideways glance at the red-robed young woman.

The red-robed young woman was speechless. Biting her lip, she gave the black-robed young man one last glare before stomping away in a huff.

"Junior Brother, you really don’t know how to handle girls, do you?" Yue Ji rolled her eyes at the black-robed young man. That one glance was full of indescribable charm. With a graceful sway, she glided after Ji Huang’Er.

’I’m supposed to placate her?’ Qin Feng thought, stunned for a moment, before shaking his head.

Just then, a young woman in white approached Qin Feng from the entrance of the lounge. She was a cute girl of about fifteen or sixteen, with a touch of baby fat on her cheeks. She stopped in front of Qin Feng, looked him up and down, and asked in a clear, bright voice.

"Excuse me, are you Master Qin Feng?"

"I am," Qin Feng replied, looking at the young woman in white with surprise. "And you might be... miss?"

He had no memory of this young woman.

However, the young woman was surprisingly powerful. When Qin Feng scanned her with his Divine Thought, he realized she was an expert at the Earth Extreme level of the Condensing Vein Realm.

"My name is Yu’Er, and I am my lady’s personal handmaiden."

The young woman, Yu’Er, continued, "My lady has invited you to meet with her."

Qin Feng was greatly puzzled. "Your lady? Who is she? I don’t believe I know any ’lady’ of yours."

Qin Feng couldn’t recall getting involved with any flirtatious women.

"But you do know our lady, Master!" the young woman in white said with a smile. She took out half of a Jade Pendant from her robes. "My lady said that even if you don’t recognize her, you will certainly recognize this half of a Jade Pendant!"

"Half of a Jade Pendant?" Qin Feng’s gaze sharpened, focusing on the cheap-looking half-pendant resting in the young woman’s palm.

Of course Qin Feng recognized the Jade Pendant; it was a family heirloom. A strange expression crossed his face. He remembered that cave... and the woman he had rescued from the river. After he had taken his pleasure with her, he had been struck by a wicked impulse. He’d snapped the Jade Pendant in two and given one half to the peerless beauty in white...
