Outside the small building.
Not far away, Xia Yuwen was standing on a small hill while looking at the small building indifferently.
Bai Feng...
He had known Bai Feng for many years. There was a saying that those from the multiple character faction were the strongest among their peers. This saying had existed for many, many years.
But that was a joke. Bai Feng had never won against him. Instead, he was the one who had defeated Bai Feng several times when he was clearing the top 100. Of course, some people believed that his fights against Bai Feng had been unfair due to his higher cultivation level. But that was Bai Feng's problem for having a lower cultivation level, not his. Bai Feng had neglected his cultivation for the sake of research. That was his fault. It had nothing to do with Xia Yuwen.
As a third-stage Cloudbreach, Xia Yuwen no longer had any interest in fighting Bai Feng. He had set his eyes on bigger things and a grander stage. Bai Feng was only a Skysoar. He wouldnt have even bothered to set his eyes on Bai Feng this time if it wasnt for Zhou Mingren.
Bai Feng walked out of the small building. He looked somewhat pale as he had stayed awake for several days. Heavy eyebags could be seen below his eyes. After being subjected to constant willpower bombardment for the past few days, his own willpower was starting to feel somewhat unstable.
Xia Yuwen frowned, but he didn't say anything. Bai Feng walked out with a smile while behind him, Wu Yuehua and the other Mountainseas started preparing themselves for a fight.
Outside the warzone, Wu Qi frowned. She had not entered the warzone as her grandaunt had forbidden her to enter. This wasn't a battle someone at her level could participate in. But looking at the pale Bai Feng, she frowned. Could a weakened Bai Feng like this be Xia Yuwen's match? The gap between them was already big. One was an eighth-stage Skysoar while the other was a third-stage Cloudbreach.
Xia Yuwen indifferently asked, "Are you relying on just this bit of strength to challenge Cloudbreach cultivators?"
Bai Feng grinned, "Strength? Is the Cloudbreach Realm really so incredible? You're talking like the Cloudbreach Realm is the Invincible Realm."
Bai Feng then yawned and said, "Xia Yuwen, why are you wasting your time playing around with the single character faction instead of focusing on your fight for the position of the prefect? Do you think you can get the position just by creating trouble?"
Xia Yuwen calmly said, "I will naturally not stop fighting for the position of the prefect. But the single character faction is also a target to be roped in. I can give you a chance. Get Chen Yong to vacant his position as the head manager. I will spare your life and even give your multiple character faction some help."
He was very straightforward. He was also quite arrogant as he was essentially saying that he would get everything he wanted either way. Even this fight against Bai Feng was merely a process of getting what he wanted.
With yet another yawn, Bai Feng spoke with a bored expression, "You're talking like Great Xia is already yours. If you're really so incredible, why don't you force Principal Wan to resign and be the principal while youre at it? Or maybe you can get the prefect to abdicate and give you the throne?"
"When we walk, we need to do it one step at a time." Xia Yuwen talked as if he hadn't realized that Bai Feng was mocking him. "If I can enter the Mountainsea Realm in the future, why can't I fight for the position of the principal as well?"
"..."
Bai Feng was completely speechless. This bastard had never experienced the cruelty of reality before. He was still as arrogant as ever.
After a short thought, Bai Feng smiled and said, "I'm curious about one thing. You are so arrogant. Why hadn't that bastard from the war academy given you a beating?"
Xia Yuwen looked at Bai Feng and said, "Those who walk different paths cannot walk together."
At first, Bai Feng didn't understand what Xia Yuwen was saying. But after a while, realization hit him as he said in astonishment, "You're saying that he's ignoring you because you're a cultural researcher while he's a warrior? Fuck. Why did he beat me up back then?"
"..."
Nobody answered.
Far away, Wu Qi rolled her eyes. Why else? The first time it happened, it was during an examination of both academies. That was a mission.
The second time it happened, Bai Feng had been indignant and refused to accept the first defeat. He had gone looking for trouble and ended up beaten.
The third time it happened, Bai Feng pulled a dick move and cleared the Infinite Strength Ranking of the war academy while that person was away. After returning, that person had been forced to give Bai Feng a beating to save face for the war academy.
Why else, Bai Feng? Was he not aware?The debut release happened at N0v3lBiin.
Xia Yuwen moved on from that topic and asked, "Have you decided?"
"Deciding on what?"
Bai Feng had an odd look on his face. What was he supposed to decide? Did Xia Yuwen say anything? Xia Yuwen's face fell. He did not repeat his words. This was the most annoying part about Bai Feng. He was the type of person who would only choose to remember the words he wanted to hear. He would completely ignore everything else.
Xia Yuwen started walking down the hill and asked, "Are you ready?"
"Ready for what?" Bai Feng smiled, "Are you going to kill me? Are you sure you can kill me? Xia Yuwen, don't overestimate yourself. In the past, you were allowed to run rampant because I couldn't be bothered to waste my time on you. Someone like you would have been beaten to death long ago if it wasn't for the protection of the Xia Family."
"I can return the same words back to you."
Xia Yuwen was indifferent. The same could be said about Bai Feng. Without Hong Tan's protection, he would have been beaten to death long ago.
"True."
Bai Feng laughed. A sword appeared in front of him. It was the Dragon Slaying Sword. After straightening his clothes, he gripped his sword. Xia Yuwen's face turned solemn. Even if Bai Feng was only an eighth-stage Skysoar, this was not an opponent he would underestimate.
Bai Feng was completely nonchalant as he started giving himself a shave with the sword. After doing that, he straightened his clothes again and styled his hair before smiling, "Alright. I'm ready."
"You're courting death!"
Xia Yuwen's face turned cold as he swung his saber forth.
Sky Sundering Saber!
The special cultivation method of the Xia Family!
Bai Feng stepped on empty air and moved aside. The attack landed on the ground, leaving a deep gash that only stopped spreading when it reached near the Mountainseas not far away.
"This damage is unrelated to me! If the Xia Family is going to fine someone, look for Xia Yuwen!"
Bai Feng hurriedly shouted. They needed to pay for any damage done! That damn Marquis Xia was so greedy that he probably wouldn't let even Xia Yuwen off.
"Hmph!"
With a snort, intense saber qi erupted and cut through air.
Countless sabers dropped from the sky.
Meanwhile, Bai Feng, who was only a Skysoar, brandished his Dragon Slaying Sword and cut down the incoming sabers.
Splurt!
The first cut appeared on Bai Feng's white clothes. That was followed by the second cut, the third cut...
Xia Yuwen did not approach Bai Feng. Once again, he swung his saber and sent countless sabers toward Bai Feng. Bai Feng's sword constantly danced about, leaving countless afterimages everywhere.
One cut after another appeared on his body. That was the gap between them. The Mountainseas of both sides were paying attention to the fight. All of them saw the gap between the two combatants.
They had a gap of four stages and one realm between them. Bai Feng might be strong, but the gap between him and Xia Yuwen who was similarly a super genius was still quite big. In his previous battles, Bai Feng had been able to defeat all his opponents with one move. But in this fight, he was unable to even find a chance to release a proper attack.
"Bai Feng, you disappoint me."
Once again, Xia Yuwen swung his saber. The air cracked while a sea of fire appeared.
Bai Feng had a look of pain on his face. While gasping for breath, he said, "Interesting. Fire character. It's decent. At the very least, it's strong enough to burn even seas of willpower."
"Come on! Bring it on!" Bai Feng grinned as he cut down one saber after another. His willpower shook repeatedly as the sea of fire continued burning his willpower.
"Let me intensify the flame."
Next, amid the sea of fire that seemed to cover the world, Bai Feng grinned and released a clump of fire from within his body.
Boom!
At that moment, space itself cracked. Source qi started converging from all directions as the fire grew in intensity. And finally, a pop rang out, as though something had broken.
At that moment, Xia Yuwens face turned pale. He looked at Bai Feng in shock.
Bai Feng also had a pale face. He grinned and asked, "Is this fun? Is your Divine Character still fine? Children shouldn't be playing with fire. Have you not heard that you might burn yourself if you play with fire too much? Do you even know what happened?
"Let me educate you. When all the willpower and source qi in the area are burned clean, fire formed by Divine Characters will start burning the Divine Character of its master to keep fueling itself. Thus, I gave your fire a little push to intensify the burning earlier. Are you having a good time?"
"..."
Xia Yuwen's expression changed. His fire character had burned even Cloudbreach enemies to death. But it was defeated so easily by Bai Feng. And the character itself had suffered serious damage as well.
Bai Feng might make it sound simple with his explanation, but this was anything but simple. A Divine Character would not suffer a backlash from its own attack easily. This Bai Feng...was truly a freak. Everyone had been distracted by his feats of killing his opponents with only one hit, but they had all neglected the fact that this fellow was also a genius researcher.
Xia Yuwen said nothing. He swung his saber again. This time, he did not stop at that. His body flickered and vanished. A loud boom sounded.
"Cough..."
Bai Feng coughed a mouthful of blood while resisting a saber with his sword. The powerful force behind the saber forced him to drop down from the sky. With a rumble, he crashed into the ground, leaving a large crater around him.
Whoosh!
In the sky, Xia Yuwen pulled his saber back before swinging it again.
"Heh..." A sneer of contempt rang out as Bai Feng activated a character. Instantly, his surroundings turned into a field of ice.
The saber attack landed loudly, cutting the icy ground apart. At the same time, Bai Feng flew out from the crack on the ground and rapidly moved away.
Outside the small building.
