Divine-level Base

Azure Dragon Spirit City was the capital of the Qianyuan Republic. It was the most prosperous and powerful spirit city, with a population exceeding fifty million.

Flame Dragon Manor was a luxurious estate located within the prime real-estate of Azure Dragon Spirit City. It covered a vast area and was filled with luxury villas, Martial Arts Arenas, helipads, training facilities, a movie theater, and a bar, resembling a small city within a city.

A luxury bus pulled into a spacious parking lot at Flame Dragon Manor, and Shu Feng and his group stepped off.

"Shuijing High School, one of the three great high schools, is here!"

"That must be Ning Bufan, Mu Mu, and Shen Xuan of Shuijing High School’s Three Heroes and Seven Elites!"

"..."

Around the parking lot stood a number of young men and women with impressive auras. They were Spiritualist high school students from schools other than the three great Extraordinary High Schools, here to scout their future rivals.

The three great Extraordinary High Schools of the Qianyuan Republic took in the vast majority of Spiritualists within the Blue Star Qianyuan Republic. However, outside of these three schools, other Extraordinary High Schools for Spiritualists had also been established within the territories of the various Noble Families in the Erosion Realms, cultivating talent for their respective families.

Legend had it that the Extraordinary High Schools within the territories of the major First-Grade Noble Families and Saint Sects were even a cut above the Qianyuan Republic’s three great Extraordinary High Schools.

"Who’s that?"

"No idea. He doesn’t seem to be on the list!"

"..."

The young men and women glanced at Shu Feng, their eyes betraying a hint of curiosity.

After Shu Feng’s name appeared on the Void Demon Hunting List, all the Top Level factions in the Qianyuan Republic became aware of his existence. However, those not qualified to access the Void Demon Hunting List naturally didn’t know who he was.

"Principal Song He, I am Zhang Zhifu. Please, follow me! We have prepared rooms for Shuijing High School!"

A capable-looking middle-aged man in a formal suit approached Song He and spoke respectfully.

Song He nodded slightly and led the group from Shuijing High School to a lavish grand villa where they would be staying.

The group from Shuijing High School had just settled in when a red-haired, arrogant, and domineering-looking teenager led by a middle-aged man walked straight into the villa.

The man, Wang Hu, the class director of Cedar High School’s Celestial Pride Class, smiled faintly. "Principal Song He! This is Cedar High School’s pride, Sheng Hu! He has always been curious about the students of Shuijing High School, and this time he asked me to bring him here to request some guidance from your students. I hope you don’t mind."

A strange glint flashed in Song He’s eyes as he said nonchalantly, "Young people are hot-blooded. Challenges and spars are perfectly normal. This is a good thing!"

Countless spars and challenges occurred during every National High School Spiritual Martial Arts Competition. The three great high schools were especially targeted by the other Extraordinary High Schools. This time, however, it was clear that Shuijing High School was being treated as a soft target, the first to be challenged.

Though Song He didn’t voice it, he was quite annoyed.

"Sheng Hu of Cedar High School, here to issue a challenge! I ask for the guidance of my seniors from Shuijing High School!"

A cold glint flashed in Sheng Hu’s eyes as he challenged the prodigies of Shuijing High School, his gaze sweeping over Ning Bufan and the other two, filled with fighting spirit!

"I’ll fight you!"

A prodigy from Shuijing High School, Zhou Hong, walked toward Sheng Hu.

"I came to challenge the Three Heroes and Seven Elites of Shuijing High School! Anyone else is not qualified to fight me!"

Sheng Hu shot Zhou Hong a look as the Spiritual Pressure of a Great Spirit Master erupted from his body, terrifying fluctuations of Spiritual Power spreading in all directions.

"You!"

Zhou Hong’s face paled, but he refused to take even half a step back. If he retreated now, he would lose all face and find it hard to hold his head up again. However, he also knew very well that he was no match for Sheng Hu.

An expert at the Spirit Master Level, unless they were a monster like Shu Feng with multiple Epic Skills and a freakishly powerful physique, had virtually no chance of defeating a Great Spirit Master-level powerhouse.

Song He said, "Zhou Hong, stand down! You are not his opponent!"

Only then did Zhou Hong breathe a sigh of relief. "Yes!"

A cold glint flashed in Fang Yao’s beautiful eyes. "Shu Feng, you go down there and take care of that little punk!"

"Yes, Master!"

Shu Feng acknowledged the order and walked down.

"I came to challenge the Three Heroes and Seven Elites of Shuijing High School. Who the hell do you think you are? Get lost!"

An arrogant glint flashed in Sheng Hu’s eyes. He channeled the terrifying Spiritual Qi of a Great Spirit Master, his right palm suddenly swelling in size as he viciously blasted a Great Stone-Smashing Hand at Shu Feng.

The Great Stone-Smashing Hand was a Superior Palm Technique. In Sheng Hu’s hands, a single palm strike could flatten a car.

"You’re the one who should get lost!"

Shu Feng smiled nonchalantly and unleashed a Great Sun Palm. His right hand burst forth with a sun-like radiance, as if a great sun were rising into the sky, and slammed viciously into Sheng Hu’s right hand.

BANG!!

A terrifying sonic boom erupted. Sheng Hu cried out in pain, spat out a mouthful of blood, and was sent flying several dozen meters before crashing to the ground.

Ning Bufan’s eyes narrowed slightly. "A Great Spirit Master! He actually advanced to become a Great Spirit Master! His cultivation speed is incredible."

Shen Xuan’s gaze sharpened. "A Great Spirit Master! This guy is actually a Great Spirit Master! How amazing!"

Shu Feng’s Summoning Technique was terrifyingly powerful, capable of even summoning a Spirit Sect Realm expert to fight for him. This was no longer a secret among the top elites. However, for Shu Feng to advance from a Spirit Master to a Great Spirit Master in just over half a year... that rate of cultivation was nothing short of monstrous.

Prodigies like Ning Bufan and Shen Xuan had already become Spirit Masters before even entering Shuijing High School, yet they only reached the Great Spirit Master Realm in their senior year. Compared to them, Shu Feng’s cultivation speed was simply horrifying.

"Shuijing High School is truly full of crouching tigers and hidden dragons. This time, Cedar High School has lost. Farewell!"

Wang Hu flickered and appeared beside Sheng Hu. He took out a medicinal pill and had Sheng Hu consume it, then gave Shu Feng a deep look before picking Sheng Hu up and striding away.

"Sheng Hu from Cedar High School lost! And it looks like he was badly injured!"

"As expected of Shuijing High School, one of the three greats. Their foundation is truly profound! To defeat Sheng Hu so easily!"

"..."

A trace of wariness flashed through the eyes of the watching experts from the various Extraordinary High Schools.

Shuijing High School, Azure Dragon High School, and Xuanwei High School all had long histories and had produced many Spirit Venerables and Spirit Saints. Even though the Extraordinary High Schools of the First-Grade Noble Families and Saint Sects claimed to be no weaker than the three great high schools, they had rarely produced experts of the Spirit Saint Level.

"Someone came to challenge us, so of course, we can go challenge them! Good disciple, come with your master. We’re going to challenge Azure Dragon High School! I’m going to let that little bitch know that my disciple is far superior to her disciples and grand-disciples!"

A flash of excitement lit up Fang Yao’s beautiful eyes. She clapped Shu Feng on the shoulder and began dragging him outside.

Shu Feng could only give a wry smile and follow his eccentric master out.
