Fantasy, starting with a treasure bowl

hum!

Just as Lu Feng's fist was about to collide head-on with Cheng Xuyuan's crystal armor, a dazzling mysterious light suddenly appeared in the former's dantian, which was quite strange!

Click!

The next moment, Cheng Xuyuan's originally indestructible crystal armor crumbled inch by inch until it finally turned into a pile of fragments, as if it had ceased to exist!

"What's going on?!"

"The power of the Rock Spirit Soul is gradually weakening...!"

The unexpected change caused Cheng Xuyuan's expression to change drastically, filled with shock.

"it's over!"

Just as the power of the Rock Spirit Soul completely disappeared, Lu Feng's fist suddenly struck, like a mountain of immense weight, slamming into Cheng Xuyuan's chest right in his vital spot.

Pfft...!

Having taken a heavy punch to the chest from Lu Feng, Cheng Xuyuan was sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string, coughing up blood. He finally collapsed to the ground in a sorry state, his chest caved in and more than a dozen ribs broken, a truly horrific injury!

"The Heaven-Covering Pearl is indeed a wonderful treasure!"

After severely injuring Cheng Xuyuan with a single punch, Lu Feng also exhaled a heavy breath, and at the same time, his gaze subconsciously turned to his dantian in his abdomen.

Just now, he secretly used the Xuan-grade magic artifact, the Heaven-Covering Pearl, to launch a sneak attack and severely injure Cheng Xuyuan!

After all, the Heaven-Shielding Pearl can not only isolate the aura of Yuan Power, but also shield the power of the spirit soul. Without the protection of the Rock Spirit Soul, Cheng Xuyuan could not withstand Lu Feng's full-force punch at all!

It should be noted that since Lu Feng broke through to the ninth level of the Nirvana Sutra, his physical strength has become comparable to a ninth-grade spiritual treasure!

Cheng Xuyuan himself is not a body-refining martial artist. Without the protection of Yuan Power and his natal spirit, his physical body is extremely fragile. Fighting Lu Feng head-on is like throwing an egg against a rock!

"What...! What just happened?"

"Cheng Xuyuan actually lost? I can't believe my eyes!"

"This kid is only at the second level of the Spirit Soul Realm, yet he has actually defeated Cheng Xuyuan, one of the high-ranking members of the Five Elements Society and ranked fourth in the Southern Academy, in a head-on battle? Could it be that this kid has been hiding his strength all along...!"

"It seems that Falling Star Academy has produced quite a few promising talents in martial arts and cultivation this year..."

Seeing the dramatic changes in the battle on the stage, Cheng Xuyuan, who had originally had the upper hand, was severely injured by Lu Feng's punch. Many distinguished guests in the viewing pavilion also cast surprised glances, and discussions arose.

After all, Cheng Xuyuan is not only one of the high-ranking members of the Five Spirits Society, but also a veteran expert who has been famous in the Southern Academy for a long time. On the other hand, Lu Feng is just an unknown junior, and he has only been in the academy for a year.

Logically speaking, Cheng Xuyuan had almost a 90% chance of winning this life-or-death gamble, but the final result was far beyond everyone's expectations!

"Lu Feng's strength has actually increased this much...!"

Like everyone else, Ren Xuanfei, who was secretly watching the battle, was also shocked, her beautiful eyes sparkling.

She had fought Lu Feng before at the site of the Loyal King's tomb, and she knew his strength very well.

However, Consort Ren never expected that in less than a year, Lu Feng's strength had increased more than tenfold, leaving even her, the eldest princess of Dongyun Kingdom, far behind!

Swish!

While everyone was discussing, Lu Feng did not stop his attack. He leaped down and landed in front of Cheng Xuyuan, who was lying on the ground. His face was still cold and stern.

"You little brat, if you're not capable, stop trying to act tough like others. Be smarter in your next life; there are some people you can't afford to mess with!"

Lu Feng glanced at Cheng Xuyuan, who was covered in blood at his feet, but remained expressionless. Then, he suddenly extended his right claw, pointing it directly at the latter's neck, clearly determined to kill him!

Boom! Crack...!

Just as Lu Feng was about to snap Cheng Xuyuan's neck, a burst of milky white light suddenly erupted from his back, and then his entire body broke apart inch by inch, like a larva shedding its shell, until it finally turned into dust on the ground.

"Um?"

Upon seeing this, Lu Feng frowned slightly, a hint of surprise flashing across his face.

Swish!

The next moment, Cheng Xuyuan's body reappeared behind the arena, and he limped away, seemingly having just used some kind of martial art to avoid Lu Feng's fatal blow.

"Damn it...!"

"I am the fourth-ranking member of the Southern Courtyard, the renowned Fourth Master Cheng of the Five Spirits Society. How could I possibly die at the hands of a nobody...!"

Cheng Xuyuan staggered, his face deathly pale, and blood dripping from his sunken chest. Clearly, his injuries were extremely severe, and he was no longer able to fight!

"Shedding its skin like a cicada?"

Upon discovering Cheng Xuyuan's attempt to escape, Lu Feng snorted coldly and leaped forward again, simultaneously delivering a punch aimed directly at Cheng's heart. "Hmph, think you can escape!"

As the saying goes, releasing a tiger back into the mountains will bring endless trouble!

Having grown up in the lower echelons of the martial arts world and witnessed countless life-and-death battles, Lu Feng naturally understood this simple truth!

"Spare his life!"

Just as Lu Feng was about to kill Cheng Xuyuan with a punch, a woman's urgent voice came from afar, causing Lu Feng to pause.

"Is it you?"

Turning around at the sound, Lu Feng narrowed his eyes, revealing a hint of surprise.

The newcomer was dressed in black, with skin as white as wheat, and his pretty face was full of solemnity. He was none other than Leng Ying, who had fought with Lu Feng in the past.

In addition, Leng Ying was accompanied by Xia Zhenhu, who was also the second-in-command of the Five Spirits Society.

However, Xia Zhenhu was no longer as spirited as before. He was not only very depressed, but also had his brows furrowed, as if he had something on his mind.

"Lu Feng, although I know this request is a bit excessive, I still hope you can be lenient and let today's battle end here...!"

Seeing Lu Feng put down his fist and stand up, Leng Ying pursed his lips and then bowed.

"Miss Leng, what do you mean by this?"

Upon hearing this, Lu Feng's lips curled into a slight smile, revealing a mocking expression. "Perhaps you wish for me to spare this grandson surnamed Cheng's life?"

"Fourth Brother... Cheng Xuyuan truly deserves to die! Moreover, everything he did went against the original intention of the Five Spirits Society. However, we are sworn siblings after all, and I don't want to see him die in vain..."

Taking another deep breath, Leng Ying's pretty face revealed an unusual humility. She then slowly said, "Lu Feng, if you can spare his life, I'm willing to offer 200,000 contribution points, plus five seventh-grade spiritual treasures or pills as compensation!"

Leng Ying's tone was sincere, clearly not impulsive, but genuinely willing to pay any price to save Cheng Xuyuan's life.

"Hehe, I never expected Miss Leng to be such a kind and compassionate person..."

Faced with Leng Ying's plea, Lu Feng grinned, his tone still mocking, "But is it worth paying such a high price just to save the life of a piece of trash?"
