Divine-level Base

Waharon chuckled. "Shu Feng, aren’t you the least bit curious who arranged for you to come to the Leiyin Republic as an exchange student?"

Shu Feng’s brow rose as he asked in a low voice, "Who was it?"

Waharon smiled faintly. "If you join our Dark Night Church, you’ll find out who framed you. And as long as you’re willing to pay the price, your other brothers and sisters in the church will help you get revenge."

Shu Feng refused decisively. "Sorry, but I have no interest in joining the Dark Night Church."

The Original Church, the Holy Light Church, and the Primordial Daoist Cult were the three major religions. They had countless followers, immense power, and their methods were relatively open and honorable.

But according to the records of the Guardian Flame, there were also many evil cults in this world. Once you got involved with them, it was hard to get out.

Furthermore, the six Divine Spirits of the Gulondo World also had vast, hidden influence on Blue Star, operating under countless guises. This Dark Night Church was probably a front for one of those Divine Spirits.

Ever since the God of Darkness, one of the six Divine Spirits of the Gulondo World, was killed by the Seven Great Holy Spears, the Extraordinary organizations of the Blue Star Realm had formed an alliance to jointly resist the spread of faith in the Gulondo World’s Divine Spirits.

The experts of the Guardian Flame had clashed with the followers of the six Divine Spirits countless times. If Shu Feng were to believe in one of the Gulondo World’s Divine Spirits, he would surely be eliminated by the Guardian Flame if discovered.

Waharon smiled faintly. "What a shame."

Liu Yang, Zhong Ming, and Qi Ning were all prodigies from Shuijing High School. They understood the dangers of evil cults and also decisively refused to join the Dark Night Church.

Hanani quickly changed the subject, steering the conversation toward the scenic spots of the Leiyin Republic. Her witty remarks immediately enlivened the slightly awkward atmosphere.

After the banquet ended, Shu Feng and the others returned to their dormitory.

DING DONG! DING DONG!

Early the next morning, the doorbell in Shu Feng’s dorm room rang.

"It’s you? What do you want?"

When Shu Feng opened the door, he saw a tall, beautiful, and innocent-looking young woman standing quietly outside. It was Hassina. She had skin as fair as snow, chin-length silver hair, exquisitely delicate features, and was dressed in a white, sleeveless, form-fitting athletic top.

A burning fighting spirit flashed in Hassina’s beautiful eyes. "Shu Feng, I’ve come to challenge you to a duel."

Shu Feng said bluntly, "Not interested. Besides, you’re no match for me."

Hassina froze for a moment. She was beautiful, alluring, and a high-ranking princess; almost no man in the Leiyin Republic would ever turn her down. This was the first time she had been rejected so decisively.

Hassina’s delicate brows furrowed slightly. "Then what will it take for you to fight me?"

As a Martial Fool, this was the first time Hassina had met an opponent as evenly matched as Shu Feng. She had been so excited about fighting him that she hadn’t slept all night.

Shu Feng looked at the beautiful and innocent Hassina and grinned mischievously. "How about this? I’ll fight you. If you lose, you have to give me a kiss. What do you say?"

Hassina’s eyes lit up, and she agreed without hesitation. "Fine! I accept!"

Shu Feng said, ’You actually agreed! Alright then, let’s go to the Grand Arena.’

The two of them soon arrived outside the Grand Arena.

"Iva, open the gate!"

At Hassina’s command, a guard at the Grand Arena gave a wry smile and obediently opened the main gate.

Inside the Grand Arena.

"Are you ready?"

Hassina asked after warming up, a fiery battle lust flashing in her beautiful eyes.

Shu Feng asked, "Can I use the Water Mirror Spirit Shield Technique?"

The Water Mirror Spirit Shield Technique was one of Shuijing High School’s strongest Spirit Shield Techniques, containing profound mysteries. The terrifying enemies Shu Feng had faced before had shattered his Membrane of Spiritual Power instantly, never giving him a chance to display the technique’s true power. He wanted to use this spar to see what this Spirit Shield Technique was really capable of.

A brilliant light flashed in Hassina’s eyes. "The Water Mirror Spirit Shield Technique? Of course you can! In fact, I insist. I also want to see the mysteries of this top-tier Spirit Shield Technique. Are you ready?"

Shu Feng smiled faintly. "Ready! You can make the first move."

Hassina pushed off her feet and executed the Dragon Dominator Fist. The phantom image of a dragon appeared behind her as she threw a punch carrying an overwhelmingly domineering aura toward Shu Feng.

’Her Fist Technique has improved again! As expected of the Leiyin Republic’s greatest genius in history! This level of talent for Spiritual Martial Arts is simply terrifying!’

Shu Feng’s eyes lit up slightly. He frantically circulated his Spiritual Power, and one after another, enigmatic Spirit Mirrors materialized around his body.

Hassina’s fist smashed into the Spirit Mirrors. A dragon’s roar echoed as they shattered one by one, releasing a strange, twisting force that deflected her fist to the side.

The color drained from Hassina’s pretty face. "So this is the Water Mirror Spirit Shield Technique. It truly is a top-tier Spirit Shield Technique."

In that instant, Shu Feng reached out and tapped Hassina lightly on the forehead before retreating rapidly. He chuckled, "Hassina, you lose!"

"I did indeed lose this fight!"

Hassina admitted defeat decisively. In a real battle, if Shu Feng’s fist had struck her in the face, she would have been severely injured, if not killed.

"Again!"

Hassina cried out, her Spiritual Qi flaring as a burning fighting spirit ignited in her beautiful eyes.

Shu Feng chuckled. "Hold on. Where are my spoils of war? You’re not going to back out, are you?"

"I would never back out!"

A blush crept onto Hassina’s pretty face. She clenched her small fists, bit her lip, and hesitated for a long moment. Finally, she approached Shu Feng in a gust of fragrance, quickly planted a kiss on his lips, then turned and ran.

"Shu Feng, you’re a jerk!!"

Without looking back, Hassina fled the Grand Arena, her indignant voice echoing through the air.

"A kiss on the cheek would have been fine, too."

Shu Feng watched Hassina’s retreating figure. Only after she had completely disappeared did he mutter to himself with a slight smile. Feeling pleased, he strode out of the arena.

Shu Feng quickly settled into the life of an exchange student. His days were basically spent studying various cultural subjects, arduously practicing his Spear Technique and other Secret Techniques, and learning about genetics.

Every morning, Hassina would come to challenge Shu Feng. She would then be easily defeated and forced to offer up a sweet kiss before fleeing in embarrassment.

As Hassina and Shu Feng sparred in Spirit Martial Arts, she evolved and grew at a rapid pace each day. Shu Feng’s own application of Spirit Martial Arts also improved greatly from their exchanges.

The Blue Sea Club was one of the finest clubs in the Leiyin Republic, accessible only to the nation’s highest-ranking nobility.

That night, a man dressed in black slipped silently into the Blue Sea Club.
