Chapter 59: Is the Angel Spirit Trembling?

Gu Feng instinctively looked up. When he saw that the person approaching was Xue Qinghe and his guards, he was slightly startled, but then a relaxed smile appeared on his face. He said, "Brother Xue, I said I didn't intend to kill him. Do you believe me?"

Xue Qinghe's lips curled slightly, revealing a half-smile as he countered, "What do you think?"

His eyes betrayed clear suspicion, as if to say that Gu Feng's words were nothing more than an attempt to justify himself.

Gu Feng rubbed his nose and chuckled awkwardly. Whether Qian Renxue believed him or not, he believed himself.

In truth, he had only wanted to test the Undead Magic—Soul Consumption—that he had learned a couple of days ago, to see how powerful it really was.

But now that someone had intervened, there was no way to proceed further.

Gu Feng lowered his gaze to Yu Tianba, who lay limp on the ground like a lifeless fish. Though he was reluctant, he quickly composed himself and began to withdraw the Undead Power that had been eroding Yu Tianba's body.

The gray energy, like nimble threads, slowly gathered from various parts of Yu Tianba's body and eventually disappeared into Gu Feng's palm.

Xue Qinghe, standing nearby, quietly observed all of this, a trace of unease flickering in his eyes.

This gray energy… it's so peculiar…

It even seemed to make his Angel Spirit tremble slightly?

Not a trembling of fear, but rather the kind of mutual respect that arises when encountering a worthy opponent.

He distinctly remembered that Gu Feng's Martial Soul was just a Bone Dragon.

The Bone Dragon Spirit was merely a top-tier Martial Soul, far from being comparable to the Six-Winged Angel.

As Xue Qinghe fell into deep thought, Gu Feng turned his attention to the somewhat flustered host and asked calmly, "Can you announce the result of the match now?"

The host snapped out of his daze and quickly nodded, waving his microphone excitedly as he declared in a loud voice, "It seems that our Heavenly Dou Royal Academy is truly brimming with talent and flourishing! I hereby announce that the winner of this match is—Gu Feng!"

This announcement was like a stone thrown into a calm lake, instantly stirring up waves.

The previously silent arena erupted into chaos.

The reactions of the audience were starkly different. Some were utterly shocked, their mouths agape as if they could swallow an egg.

They couldn't fathom how a six-year-old child could defeat a Level 34 Power Attack System Battle Soul Master.

This might very well be the first time in the history of the Soul Master World that someone had achieved such a feat of cross-level combat!

From beginning to end, they had only seen Gu Feng's first Soul Ring.

This meant that Gu Feng was likely just a one-ring Soul Master who had defeated a Soul Grandmaster.

Even if the Soul Grandmaster had underestimated his opponent and hadn't fully displayed his strength, this was still enough to shock the world.

After all, this was a leap of two major levels.

In the audience, Ye Lingling's tightly clenched hands slowly relaxed. Her eyes sparkled with excitement and joy, and her cheeks flushed with exhilaration.

"I knew it! I knew Gu Feng could do it!"

Ye Lingling was so excited that she nearly jumped up, her voice filled with pride. She turned to Yu Feng, the joy in her eyes almost overflowing.

Yu Feng's mouth hung open, her expression one of utter disbelief. It took her several seconds to stammer out, "This... this is just too exaggerated! That was a level 34 Battle Soul Master! Gu Feng is only six years old. What kind of monster is he?"

As she spoke, she kept shaking her head, as if trying to shake this astonishing fact into her brain.

Previously, she had always believed that Tang Hao was the pinnacle of the Soul Master World.

Now, she no longer thought so.

Even if Tang Hao himself were here, he probably couldn't defeat an opponent two major levels above him, right?

Ye Lingling rolled her eyes at her and said with a hint of annoyance, "Stop making such a fuss. Gu Feng has always been amazing. You just never noticed before."

Yu Feng snapped out of her daze and, seeing the infatuated look on Ye Lingling's face, couldn't help but tease, "Oh, come on. All you see now is Gu Feng. But seriously, with his strength, he's definitely going to cause a huge stir in the academy. You better watch out. Who knows what might happen?"

Soul Masters tend to mature early.

And this was a noble academy, where nobles always did their best to teach their children how to seize opportunities that could elevate their families.

Don't be fooled by the fact that most of the new students in the academy are only around six, seven, or eight years old. They probably know more than students in regular academies who are in their teens.

Especially some scheming families, who often deliberately cultivate their most outstanding-looking children and send them to the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy, intending to use marriage alliances to win over exceptionally talented and powerful students.

This has long been an unspoken tradition among the upper echelons of the nobility.

Hearing this, the smile on Ye Lingling's face froze for several seconds.

Then, the tips of her ears visibly turned red, and she blushed with a mix of embarrassment and annoyance, scolding, "Yu Feng! I told you, Gu Feng and I are just friends. Stop talking nonsense, okay?"

"Alright, alright, just friends. I get it, just friends~ Well, good luck then."

Yu Feng wore a meaningful smile as she spoke, winking and teasing.

Being stared at like this, Ye Lingling felt extremely uncomfortable, her face flushing bright red.

At this moment, she looked like a ripe tomato. If there were a vent on her head, she might have turned into a steam engine on the spot.

When it came to her feelings for Gu Feng, even Ye Lingling herself couldn't quite explain them.

They hadn't known each other for long, yet she couldn't help but care about him.

This sense of uncertainty and confusion left her feeling utterly tangled, not knowing what to do.

Meanwhile, down below the stage.

Just as the host was about to passionately announce Gu Feng's advancement to the next round.

Xue Qinghe gracefully raised his hand, giving a slight wave. A perfectly measured smile graced his face as he said in a calm and unhurried tone, "Gu Feng's appearance on stage today was merely for show. He will not actually participate in the selection for the Royal Fight Team."

These words were like a bucket of cold water, instantly dousing the high expectations of the crowd.

The host's smile froze, and a clear look of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

The audience below erupted into a cacophony of sighs, the sound almost strong enough to lift the roof off the Soul Arena.

After all, given the terrifying strength Gu Feng had just displayed, everyone could foresee that, given time, he would undoubtedly become a shining leader of the Heavenly Dou Royal Academy.

Everyone eagerly anticipated watching a few more of his thrilling matches in the arena, but now, it seemed this wish would remain unfulfilled.

The host quickly adjusted his emotions, picked up the microphone, and spoke in an impassioned tone, "Well, this is indeed a deeply regrettable decision, but I firmly believe that in the future, Gu Feng will win the Soul Master Competition for our Heavenly Dou Royal Academy and for the Heavenly Dou Empire. Am I right?"

"Yes!"

The response from the audience was deafening, with countless spectators waving their belongings, their emotions reaching a fever pitch.

Even among the crowd, there were many elegant noblewomen whose eyes sparkled with affection as they gazed at Gu Feng, shouting at the top of their lungs, "Baby Gu Feng, Auntie loves you! Would you like to come to Auntie's house? Auntie has a kitten that can do backflips!"

Gu Feng's extraordinary strength, unparalleled talent, and his adorably youthful face made him an unparalleled treasure for these noblewomen with particular tastes.

Seeing the audience's frenzied behavior, Gu Feng felt his scalp tingle. He had no desire to get entangled with these obsessive fans, nor did he want to one day "succumb to the pressure of overbearing women."

Thus, Gu Feng quickly slipped away from the backstage area.
