Sword Emperor Domain: The combat effectiveness of all people within range was weakened by 30%, while Ye Feng's combat effectiveness was increased by 100%.
"Domain!" Feng Xiaotian looked at Ye Feng in fear and surprise.
"Do you want to continue?" Ye Feng asked.
The moment the domain was unfolded, Feng Xiaotian's self-created spirit skill was interrupted. If Feng Xiaotian's self-created spirit skill could not use the opponent's force to fight against the opponent's force, then it would not be able to exert its true power.
Feng Xiaotian lowered his head. He could feel that Ye Feng's combat effectiveness was getting stronger, while his own was not increasing but decreasing. The suppression from Ye Feng's domain was clear—it had directly weakened his combat effectiveness by 30%.
"Domain?" Feng Xiaotian looked a little unwilling.
"That's right. Within my domain, the opponent's combat effectiveness is directly weakened by 30%, while my own combat effectiveness is increased by 100%," Ye Feng explained in detail.
"An increase of 100% in combat power… I guess I didn't lose unfairly."
"Actually, you didn't exactly lose. It just so happened that your self-created spirit skill was interrupted by my domain."
"Losing is losing. I, Feng Xiaotian, am not someone who can't accept defeat. From now on, I'll give up on Sister Huo Wu." Feng Xiaotian made up his mind and glanced at Huo Wu.
"Don't do that," Ye Feng said.
"Why? Are you willing to quit?" Feng Xiaotian asked Ye Feng with a glimmer of hope.
In the audience, Huo Wu listened to Ye Feng's words, and her expression sank. Her heart was in her throat. Could it be that Ye Feng had no interest in her?
Ye Feng smiled and said, "You misunderstood. I meant that you can recognize her as your sister."
"Sister?" Feng Xiaotian looked puzzled.
"You like her so much—why not just acknowledge her as your sister? That way, you'll still have a family bond with her," Ye Feng said casually.
"Well… what you said makes sense. I can consider this." Feng Xiaotian thought for a while and nodded. His eyes flashed as he suddenly remembered something. He then asked, "Why recognize Huo Wu as a sister instead of making her my sister-in-law?"
Ye Feng stretched out his hand, rubbed his nose, and grinned. "Because I want to be your brother-in-law, not your brother-in-law. In this case, you should listen to me—not the other way around."
Feng Xiaotian: "..."
Uh! Feng Xiaotian was speechless. So that was Ye Feng's reasoning—he didn't want to yield to him.
"Domain! A domain that can improve one's combat effectiveness by 100%! At such a young age, this is truly rare!" His Majesty Xue Ye was full of emotion. Stroking his beard, he tilted his head to look at Ning Fengzhi and continued, "He is truly a disciple nurtured by the Guardian Douluo of the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect—enough to bring glory to the empire."
Ning Fengzhi's eyes fell on Ning Rongrong. "It's just that my daughter will only make her debut in the finals."
"Yes, he is indeed enough to bring glory to the Heaven Dou Empire," Platinum Bishop Salas echoed His Majesty Xue Ye's words.
Unlike in the original storyline, Salas was not angry but rather pleased. He continued, "After all, he is a talent favored by Her Majesty, the Pope."
Uh!
Ning Fengzhi's heart trembled. Platinum Bishop Salas was deliberately stirring things up.
Uh!
His Majesty Xue Ye's heart also trembled. Such an outstanding talent—if he fell into the hands of Spirit Hall, he would undoubtedly become a huge threat to the Heaven Dou Empire. His Majesty Xue Ye looked at Ning Fengzhi nervously.
To recruit Ye Feng, His Majesty Xue Ye had even offered his daughter. He had also given Ye Feng the Vast Sea Cosmic Shroud. He could not afford to lose both his daughter and the treasure.
Ning Fengzhi met His Majesty Xue Ye's gaze, seemingly understanding something, and smiled. "Your Majesty, I once wanted Ye Feng to join the Seven Treasures Glazed Sect, but he refused. His reason was that he did not want to be restrained. Based on my understanding of Ye Feng, no force can restrain him."
His Majesty Xue Ye breathed a sigh of relief.
For him, as long as Ye Feng did not join Spirit Hall, that was enough.
As for the four outstanding talents—Feng Xiaotian, Huo Wu, Shui Bing'er, and Tang San—he would also find ways to recruit them.
After the competition, all the participants from the academies stood neatly on the stage.
His Majesty Xue Ye stood up and began the closing speech of the promotion match:
"After several days of intense battles, fifteen teams from the Heaven Dou Empire have stood out. I would also like to congratulate Shrek Academy for achieving an impressive record of winning all fourteen matches in the promotion round!"
As soon as His Majesty Xue Ye's voice fell, Skywater Academy, Godwind Academy, Elephant Academy, and other academies applauded and cheered for Shrek Academy.
As for Blazing Fire Academy, only Tang San and Dai Mubai did not applaud.
Tang San and Dai Mubai had originally been members of Shrek Academy before transferring to Blazing Fire Academy midway.
Originally, the glory that Shrek Academy enjoyed at this moment should have also belonged to them.
Dai Mubai lowered his voice, stood behind Tang San, and asked with some hesitation, "Xiao San, we left Shrek Academy and shone on our own. Did we make a mistake?"
Tang San clenched his fists lightly, his gaze locked onto Ye Feng, eyes filled with burning fighting spirit. "Mubai, don't worry. This is just the promotion match. The real battle is in the finals. We'll see who has the last laugh then."
Tang San had found a way to defeat Ye Feng.
He was confident that if they fought again, he would be able to defeat Ye Feng.
On the podium, His Majesty Xue Ye continued his speech:
"This competition will be judged by Crown Prince Xue Qinghe as the empire's envoy. Additionally, five hundred Royal Knights will be sent to escort the teams. I hope you will bring honor to the empire!"
After the competition, the teams rested for three days.
Three days later, the academies, accompanied by the five hundred soldiers of the Heaven Dou Empire's Royal Knights, set off for Spirit City—the venue of the finals.
Since Liu Erlong was already more than four months pregnant, it was not suitable for her to travel long distances.
Liu Erlong wanted to accompany Ye Feng, but he refused.
Unable to persuade him, Liu Erlong could only repeatedly ask Flender to take good care of Ye Feng.
Ye Feng could only smile at this.
If he guessed correctly, this journey would be safe.
Ye Feng had not forgotten that the system had been displeased because he had envied Liu Erlong's infatuation with Yu Xiaogang.
Not only had the system transferred Liu Erlong's infatuation from Yu Xiaogang to Ye Feng, but it had also shifted Bibi Dong's deep feelings for Yu Xiaogang onto him.
Ye Feng knew that Bibi Dong, the Pope of Spirit Hall, loved him.
It was like the love between first lovers—deeper than the sea, higher than the sky.
Unforgettable and eternal.
Simply put, Ye Feng was certain that no matter how he performed, Bibi Dong loved him too much to ever send someone to kill him.
