Chapter 632: Just A Bit of Improvement!
"What... What a terrifying ability!"
Even Gu Tengfeng couldn't keep his composure. He had once been selected by Tianwei Academy as one of the top ten hidden talents and had also trained in the Heisha Region.
He knew very well that among the ten hidden talents, they were randomly divided into two teams, and if luck wasn't on their side, they could end up with four relatively weaker teammates.
Mu Qianxue being undefeated despite this was likely due to this incredible support ability.
Though it only temporarily opened the meridian gates, in a team-based sword fighting competition, this could have unexpected effects.
"Captain Gu, may I join the East Court's sword team?" Mu Qianxue asked softly.
"Yes, of course! We couldn't ask for more!"
Gu Tengfeng squinted, gazing at Mu Qianxue with a serious expression. "But I will only let you compete when we face the Central Court sword team. The fewer people that know about your ability, the better for us. Also, it's best not to announce that you've joined the East Court sword team. Can you do that?"
Mu Qianxue glanced at Ling Feng, nodding slightly. "As long as I can join the sword team, that's enough."
"Great!"
Gu Tengfeng's eyes flashed with excitement. Unexpectedly, they had gained such a powerful ally as soon as they returned, increasing their chances of defeating the Central Court sword team.
"Miss Mu, I'm Yu Sixian. Hehe, just call me Senior Brother Yu."
Yu Sixian immediately swaggered up. The team used to only have Xue Xiaolin, who was rather hot-tempered, as the only female member. Now, they finally had another girl, and she was a stunning beauty!
"Senior Brother Yu," Mu Qianxue called out softly.
"Hahaha." Yu Sixian grinned proudly, glancing back at Xue Xiaolin. He teased, "Xiaolin, look at her. This is what you call gentle and sweet!"
"Looks like you're itching for a beating!"
Xue Xiaolin glared at Yu Sixian before stepping up and pulling Mu Qianxue aside.
"Junior Sister Mu, I'm Xue Xiaolin. You can call me Sister Xiaolin like the others. As for that lecherous jerk you just met, you don't need to pay him any mind. And the gambling addict over there, you can ignore him too."
"Sister Xiaolin, that's slander!" Yu Sixian immediately protested.
Lin Mochen felt wronged. "What... What did I do? I haven't even said anything!"
The vice-captain, Gong Cheng, was more observant. He noticed another woman standing outside the door who seemed to have come with Ling Feng and the others.
"Ling Feng, who's that lady?"
"Oh, her? That's Tuoba Yan," Ling Feng said casually. "She's my maid."
"M-Maid?"
Everyone turned to look. Such a beautiful woman, and she's just a maid...?
Yu Sixian exclaimed, "Brother Feng, I'd worship a beauty like her like a little queen! And you have her as a maid?"
"She agreed to it," Ling Feng shrugged, looking indifferent.
"Incredible! Brother Feng is truly Brother Feng!" Yu Sixian gulped, looking at Ling Feng with pure admiration.
Gong Cheng looked at Tuoba Yan with a somewhat curious expression. "Why not invite her in? Even if she's a maid, there's no need to leave her outside."
"Exactly, exactly! Brother Feng, don't you know how to cherish beauty?"
Yu Sixian, grinning cheekily, walked over to Tuoba Yan. "Miss Tuoba, please come in."
Ling Feng shook his head, smiling wryly. "Yan'er is rather aloof and doesn't like crowds. I've always treated her as a friend."
Gu Tengfeng shook his head. He wasn't too interested in Ling Feng's personal matters.
Although he was also struck by Tuoba Yan's extraordinary beauty and suspected she wasn't an ordinary maid, he wasn't interested in prying.
"Alright, let's get back to business."
Gu Tengfeng glanced at Ling Feng and Li Bufan, saying slowly, "I've been keeping track of everyone's progress these past few months, especially Brother Xiaofan’s. He's already achieved early-tier Spiritual Element Realm combat power. Ling Feng, Bufan, how about you two? I suspect you haven't fallen behind either."
Ling Feng turned to look at Jiang Xiaofan. The Xuanwu blood had proven to be incredibly powerful, transforming Jiang Xiaofan completely in just a few months.
He had directly reached the Spiritual Element Realm's combat power. Such growth was almost on par with Ling Feng's own.
Li Bufan didn't say much. He simply raised his palm, gathering wind and thunder energy in his hand to form a purple lightning bolt.
This thunder energy spread across his entire body, transforming into armor and even morphing into weapons. Its intricacy left everyone in awe.
"Incredible!" Everyone exclaimed in surprise. "Bufan, you've truly mastered the wind and thunder power as if it's an extension of your body!"
"In the past two months, I've trained with the Wind and Thunder Transformation technique and reached its advanced level. With my lightning-forged weapons and thunder armor, I can face an opponent at the second level of the Spiritual Element Realm head-on," Li Bufan explained before turning his gaze to Ling Feng.
What he most wanted to know was Ling Feng's progress.
"I thought Brother Xiaofan's growth was already extraordinary, but Bufan is just as terrifying!" Ye Nanfeng couldn't help but feel a bit dejected. He had once been a promising young member of the sword team and one of its main forces. Now, with so many monsters on the team, he had gradually been relegated to the sidelines.
"And he's handsome too!" Yu Sixian couldn't help but admire Li Bufan's thunder armor, which glowed with a blue light. "With a look like that, how many admirers would you attract just by walking around town?"
"Idiot!" Xue Xiaolin glared disdainfully at Yu Sixian, and then turned her attention to Ling Feng while feeling a bit anxious. "Ling Feng, show everyone your progress!"
"Yes, yes, Brother Feng. It looks like your aura hasn't increased by much, but you're such a freak that ordinary logic can't be applied to you," Lin Mochen blurted out.
Ling Feng's face darkened. Freak? Can't he use a nicer term?
Mu Qianxue also couldn't help but stare at Ling Feng. She was curious to see what level he had reached over the past six months.
"Actually, my progress is just so-so," Ling Feng shook his head while speaking calmly. "But I've made a little bit of improvement."
"Stop talking and just show us already!" Yu Sixian was so anxious that he was grinding his teeth.
"Mm-hmm." Ling Feng nodded, silently reciting: Three locks, open!
In an instant, a terrifying wave of energy swept out. His three Primordial Locks were released simultaneously, so the compressed true qi within Ling Feng erupted like a tidal wave.
"What the fuck!?"
Yu Sixian lost his balance, tumbling to the ground and rolling several times before finally managing to steady himself.
