Xuanwu War Sovereign

The beautiful memories were but a drunken dream of yesterday.

A faint bitterness was the taste of today.

This was a perfect description of Jiang Taichu’s current state.

He had lost all face, a fate worse than death!

His hatred for Qin Feng had reached its absolute peak. If he could, he would gladly drag Qin Feng down with him to perish together.

He had never suffered such a devastating defeat. Throughout his life, he had been victorious in every battle, always trampling over others. When had he ever been so humiliated?

What unsettled Jiang Taichu the most was the strange Seal Technique Qin Feng had used at the end.

He felt as if something of utmost importance had been stolen from him, leaving him hollow inside, like a walking corpse.

It was as if he had been cast down from the heavens!

’Serves you right, you little bastard! You finally got what was coming to you! If I don’t make you suffer for what you did to me, I’ll have let you off too easily!’

Nearby, Mei Ruoxuan’s eyes glinted with indescribable satisfaction.

He was normally a good-natured man, but Jiang Taichu’s actions had thoroughly enraged him.

Ruining a person’s future was as unforgivable as murdering their parents! The enmity was irreconcilable.

He turned to look at Qin Feng, who was just a few steps away, a hint of fervent gratitude on his face.

Just moments ago, Jiang Taichu had been so arrogant that he’d been left utterly powerless to resist.

Yet the young man before him had crushed Jiang Taichu as easily as snapping a dry twig, suppressing him with a mere flick of his wrist.

Such power was comparable to that of even a True Disciple.

"Junior Brother, I owe you for stepping in this time. Otherwise, I would have suffered a great loss today!"

Mei Ruoxuan was exceedingly polite.

Qin Feng smiled. "Senior Brother, you’re too kind. It was only right. You stand guard for our Star Sect and have rendered great service. How could a brute like Jiang Taichu be allowed to humiliate you?"

"How unexpected!"

"Defeated in a single move! It seems everyone underestimated Elder Qin Feng! I never thought Elder Cyan Dragon was this strong!"

All around, gazes fell upon Jiang Taichu.

Many of the geniuses were gloating over his misfortune.

Jiang Taichu had always acted tyrannically within All Stars Academy, looking down on everyone else. He had long been unpopular, but others only dared to feel anger, not voice it.

Now that Jiang Taichu had taken such a huge fall, the ones who were happiest weren’t Qin Feng, but them!

"Junior Brother Qin Feng!"

Just then, a pleasantly surprised voice called out.

Qin Feng turned his head. Two young women were walking out of the All Stars Academy entrance, and one of them was looking at him, her face alight with joy.

The young woman was dressed all in white, as ethereal and graceful as a fairy.

"Senior Sister Baiyun!" Qin Feng nodded.

With a flash of fragrant breeze and the tinkling of jade pendants, Baiyun approached. Her lovely eyes shifted, revealing a hint of delight. "Junior Brother, you rushed back from Yunhu City. Did you come to attend the True Inheritance Ceremony too?"

Her gaze swept over the crowd and landed on Jiang Taichu. With her sharp intellect, she instantly understood what had transpired.

She looked at Qin Feng with concern. Jiang Taichu was a peerless genius of this year’s class at All Stars Academy; even some Outer Disciples were no match for him.

Seeing that Qin Feng was unharmed, she let out a sigh of relief, which was quickly followed by a sense of shock.

’He’s gotten stronger again!’

Beside her, a cold and stunning young woman in a black dress watched Qin Feng with a complicated expression in her beautiful eyes.

"Junior Brother Qin Feng..."

The girl’s cold beauty held a touch of heart-stirring purity and charm.

"Yun Mo." Qin Feng acknowledged her with a simple nod, as one would a mere acquaintance.

A deathly pallor flashed across Yun Mo’s cold, pretty face. She could clearly feel his indifference.

The hand with which she held her sword tightened its grip. In that moment, a sliver of realization dawned in her heart.

’Ever since that misunderstanding on Heavenly Red Peak, it seems the rift between us might never be mended.’

Just as she was about to speak, Qin Feng’s attention was suddenly drawn elsewhere. Down the street, a man and a woman appeared at the far end.

A smile touched Qin Feng’s eyes as he spotted the familiar, graceful figure in red. But when his gaze fell upon the handsome, purple-robed young man who stood intimately close to her, his expression gradually turned cold.

WHOOSH!

Mei Ruoxuan, Baiyun, and Yun Mo all felt a distinct chill emanating from Qin Feng.

Someone noticed the two figures and let out a gasp of surprise.

"It’s one of this year’s five great prodigies, Elder Vermilion Bird, Qin Honglian!"

"The Blood Monarch?"

"That’s her. She, along with Jiang Taichu, Shen Xiumei, Duan Yu, and Bai Ruofei, is known as one of the five great prodigies. They say she comprehended the Origin Power of a Martial Arts Giant while she was still in the Void Divine Profound Realm! Her Origin of Blood is terrifying to the extreme; it has already manifested a Nirvana phenomenon. On the day she awakened it, a Blood River soared through the sky, turning the world into a Sea of Blood. A Supreme Saint even descended that very day, wanting to take her as a Direct Disciple!"

"And not only is her talent monstrous, but she’s also a peerless beauty, the jewel of All Stars Academy. She has countless admirers. Many of the top geniuses on the Star Ranking have expressed their affection for her. Even Inner Sect Disciples and True Disciples from the Star Sect have been captivated!"

The surrounding crowd of All Stars Academy geniuses broke into a flurry of discussion, their expressions shifting as they watched the pair.

Many of the young men’s faces were flushed with excitement, their eyes filled with adoration.

Listening to the crowd’s discussion, Qin Feng’s expression flickered as a thought crossed his mind.

’Void Divine Profound Realm? How is that possible? A few months ago, she was only at the Martial Arts Fourth Layer. How could she have crossed so many Great Realms? Has the Bloody Queen awakened?’

Qin Feng frowned. He also noticed that Honglian’s appearance had changed quite a bit.

In the past, Honglian had been beautiful, but the birthmark on her face had marred her looks.

But now, not only was the birthmark gone, she exuded an astonishing charm.

Her beauty was otherworldly, as if she were a masterpiece of Creation, blessed by the spiritual essence of heaven and earth.

Her figure had fully blossomed, with explosive curves, a breathtakingly cold and beautiful face, and the domineering aura of the Bloody Queen, like that of a Demon God.

Noble, cold, and domineering... Yet perhaps due to her past with the Qin Family, a trace of watery gentleness still lingered in her beautiful eyes.

She was simply soul-stealingly beautiful.

The transformation was far beyond what could be described as an ugly duckling turning into a swan.

In the presence of the red-robed young woman, even stunning beauties like Baiyun and Yun Mo, or the exquisitely elegant Shen Xiumei, couldn’t help but seem dim in comparison, feeling a sense of inadequacy.

’How could the heavens favor one woman so much!’

’It’s not fair! It’s so unfair!’

The faces of many beautiful young women were contorted with jealousy.

The moment the red-robed young woman appeared, she instantly became the center of attention on the street. Passersby, the students walking out of All Stars Academy, and even some older Martial Artists couldn’t help but stare, their gazes burning with intensity.

BANG!

One Martial Artist, not watching where he was going, slammed headfirst into a wall, staggering back in a daze.

An unseen fire seemed to sweep through the entire street.

Beside her, the handsome, purple-robed man grew increasingly smug at the sight, a sense of pride swelling within him.

Just then, the red-robed young woman stopped in her tracks. A familiar figure had suddenly appeared before her very eyes...
