"Why did it take so long?"
"Half an hour has passed."
"What did you eat? You're taking so long to poop. You're not digging holes in your spare time."
Teachers and students from various academies were confused by Ye Feng's behavior. It wasn't until thirty-five minutes later that he finally returned to the stage.
By then, Huo Wu had already opened her eyes from meditation. The clarity in her gaze was striking—filled with confidence and devoid of any hesitation.
"Ye Feng is going to lose," Liu Erlong said.
Liu Erlong was Ye Feng's woman. She knew him well enough that if he squatted down, she could even tell what kind of mess he was making. Ye Feng hadn't stayed in the restroom for so long just to recover his spirit power. Instead, he had been instructing Huo Wu. It was obvious—he was very interested in her.
"The match begins!"
As the referee's voice fell, Ye Feng extended his left hand, and the Nine Hearts Mysterious Begonia spirit floated above his palm.
Second Spirit Skill: Ice!
A cold light whistled toward Huo Wu.
Huo Wu raised her hand, her palm spreading open.
Third Spirit Skill: Fire Resistance Ring!
The icy attack struck the fire ring but was instantly repelled.
Third Spirit Skill: Water Essence!
Third Spirit Skill: Fire Resistance Ring!
Fourth Spirit Skill: Landslide!
Third Spirit Skill: Fire Resistance Ring!
Fifth Spirit Skill: Nine Hearts Emperor Armor!
Ye Feng launched three spirit skills in succession, yet every single one was effortlessly deflected by Huo Wu's Fire Resistance Ring.
Left with no choice, Ye Feng activated his Fifth Spirit Skill: Nine Hearts Emperor Armor!
Explosive Step!
With a bang, his movement speed skyrocketed. Like an arrow loosed from its bow, Ye Feng shot toward Huo Wu.
A smirk appeared on Huo Wu's lips. Flames condensed beneath her feet.
Explosive Step!
With the same bang, she matched his speed and swiftly evaded his advance.
Explosive Hand!
This time, it wasn't Ye Feng's feet but his hands. He compressed energy in his palms, creating an explosive force that allowed him to shift mid-air and strike Huo Wu from an unexpected angle.
Huo Wu's eyes narrowed—she hadn't expected him to use Explosive Step in such a way.
Third Spirit Skill: Fire Resistance Ring!
A burst of flame erupted from her body, sending Ye Feng flying backward just as he approached.
"Did the power of Fire Resistance Ring increase?" Ye Feng's expression turned serious.
Fire Resistance Ring: Ignores skills and defense. As long as an opponent's skill isn't ten levels higher, it is completely nullified. However, it requires a charge time before activation.
Initially, the Fire Resistance Ring had a 60-meter diameter, but after Huo Wu compressed its energy, its attack range expanded to 90 meters. That was why Ye Feng had been caught off guard.
Its height, once only three meters, had now increased to five.
"Ye Feng, accept your first defeat."
Huo Wu's eyes brimmed with confidence. She raised her hand, and her Naruto Spirit mirrored her actions.
Ten fireballs appeared in front of her—yet there was no fluctuation of spirit rings.
"A self-created spirit skill?" Ning Rongrong exclaimed.
Under Huo Wu's mental control, the fireballs shrank from washbasin-sized to the size of rice bowls. Their color changed from red to deep purple, with tiny milky-white dots flickering within them.
The air around them distorted from the sheer heat they emitted.
"No, this isn't a self-created skill. This is energy compression."
Ning Fengzhi, watching intently, couldn't help but praise, "To master the ultimate balance of energy compression in such a short time… this girl is truly gifted."
However, compressing ten fireballs at once put a tremendous strain on Huo Wu's spirit power. Her face turned pale.
Dragon Phoenix Ancient Wings!
Purple-gold light flashed behind Ye Feng as the Dragon Phoenix Ancient Wings spread out, enveloping him completely.
At the same time, Huo Wu unleashed the ten compressed fireballs with a single wave of her hand.
The ground trembled as if a volcano had erupted.
The instant they struck, a fiery shockwave blasted outward.
A spirit master from a nearby academy, who had been standing too close to the ring, was caught in the shockwave. Blood trickled from the corners of his mouth as he staggered backward.
When the dust settled, Ye Feng had been blown out of the ring entirely.
Though his body remained unharmed thanks to the Dragon Phoenix Ancient Wings, he had still been forced out of bounds.
"You lost," Huo Wu declared.
Ye Feng smiled and nodded. "Yeah, I lost."
Sixth Spirit Skill: Embrace of the Goddess of Life!
Green light radiated from his Nine Hearts Mysterious Begonia, enveloping his wings. In an instant, the scorched feathers began to regenerate at a visible speed, the burn marks fading away.
"What incredible healing ability!" Dugu Yan exclaimed.
"Of course. My cousin's spirit is Nine Hearts Mysterious Begonia, a mutation of the Nine Hearts Begonia. With a healing skill added, its recovery ability surpasses even the original."
Ye Lingling gazed at Ye Feng, pride evident in her expression.
Chen Xin, Ye Feng's master, shook his head. "That kid is too much of a romantic."
Ning Fengzhi followed Chen Xin's gaze to Ye Feng and shook his head as well.
They both saw it—Ye Feng had let Huo Wu win on purpose.
But Chen Xin didn't realize that Ye Feng had another motive. He wasn't just giving Huo Wu face.
Ding-dong!
"Congratulations! You have altered the original storyline. No one has achieved a seven-win streak in the promotion matches. Reward: 9 attribute points!"
That was Ye Feng's real reason.
Nine attribute points weren't much, but they weren't insignificant either. If he allocated them all to agility, his movement speed would increase by 0.9 meters per second.
"In the seventh match, Blazing Academy wins! Congratulations to Huo Wu for defeating Ye Feng and stopping his seven-win streak. Next up—Shrek Academy's Xiao Wu!"
Xiao Wu, upon hearing this, happily skipped toward the ring.
As Ye Feng passed her, he whispered, "Go easy on her."
"Got it, brother!" Xiao Wu grinned.
Xiao Wu was a five-ring Spirit King, while Huo Wu was only a four-ring Spirit Master. Though Huo Wu had won against Ye Feng, she had expended a great deal of spirit power and mental strength.
Xiao Wu took full advantage of this, playing defensively and slowly draining Huo Wu's remaining energy until Huo Wu was forced to admit defeat.
"Shrek Academy versus Blazing Academy—Shrek Academy wins!"
After the match, Huo Wu approached Ye Feng.
"Ye Feng, let's talk."
Ye Feng was stunned for a moment, then a grin appeared on his face.
Could it be that his luck with women was about to turn?
