If it were just Ning Fengzhi and Flander, that would be one thing, but even Davis and Zhu Zhuyun acted as if it were perfectly normal.

Xue Qinghe's face showed no surprise, but he seemed somewhat depressed, for reasons unknown.

This made Yan have an unbelievable thought.

What Chen Feng said... could it really be true? Am I the only one laughing? Or am I the only one who doesn't know this news?

Yan couldn't help but glance at the Pope and Elder Chrysanthemum Ghost, as well as Hu Liena, Xie Yue, and the teacher in charge. Seeing the surprise and astonishment on their faces, Yan felt slightly relieved.

But he dared not speak any further, because the scene where he was the only one laughing in the entire room was so embarrassing that it was unbearable.

If this VIP lounge hadn't been constructed of marble and reinforced with a massive number of soul tools, Yan would have definitely carved a palace out of it with his toes.

He did manage to stop the engine, but Hu Liena couldn't help but ask at that moment:

"Are you really that scholar?"

She had already vaguely guessed the answer from observing the other person's expressions, but she still couldn't help asking, because this was a wonderful development that she could never have imagined.

When the Foundation Building Technique was first released, Hu Liena was about to obtain her third spirit ring. Under the guidance of her teacher Bibi Dong, she successfully created a mental-type Foundation Building Ring for herself according to the content of the Foundation Building Technique.

It was precisely because of this Foundation Building Ring that Hu Liena clarified her path and obtained a reliable way to enhance her spiritual power, instead of having to follow the crowd and cultivate soul power like other soul masters, while her spiritual power could only wait for natural growth.

At most, the only way to enhance one's spiritual power is by absorbing the head's soul bone; there are no other methods.

Over the course of nearly seven years, Hu Liena gradually surpassed her brother Xie Yue in strength thanks to her Foundation Establishment Ring, reaching level 53.

Furthermore, through continuous exploration, she discovered that, if there are no environmental factors affecting the practice, the best time to cultivate mental power is at dawn.

With this slowly but steadily growing spiritual power, Hu Liena's bewitching and control techniques are virtually invincible among her peers, and can even influence some high-level soul masters.

Therefore, the scholar who proposed the Foundation Building Method can be said to have been a great benefactor to Hu Liena, and she was thinking that if she could meet that scholar someday, she would express her gratitude to him.

Hu Liena had previously disagreed with Yan's approach because she was worried that if the matter reached the scholar's ears, it would be incredibly embarrassing.

However, she never expected that the scholar who had enlightened her was very likely the same Chen Feng who had hung her up and beaten her.

If that's the case, then Yan has really lost more than he gained this time.

“That’s right, I am that scholar, and also the author of the Foundation Building Technique.” Chen Feng nodded, acknowledging his identity.

The reason he hid his identity was that he was just a six-year-old child at the time, with no ability to protect himself and no network of contacts, so it was not appropriate to attract too much attention.

After all, among so many people in Douluo Continent, who can guarantee that there won't be someone with a mental problem? What if they kidnap or kill him?

Now things are different; he's "grown up," so naturally he doesn't have to be so cautious.

With the Heaven-Rank Soul Skill "Snow Emperor Possession" in hand, Chen Feng's risk of exposing his identity is still acceptable. Grandmaster and Qian Renxue are also by his side, so it is unlikely that Bibi Dong and Qian Daoliu, two top-tier experts on the continent, will touch him.

Apart from the two of them, no one else posed a threat to Chen Feng's life.

After receiving confirmation from Chen Feng, Hu Liena fell silent, still processing this shocking news.

At this moment, Bibi Dong spoke:

"Why didn't you reveal your identity back in Notting City? If we had known you were still a child, the Spirit Hall would have nurtured you with great care."

That way, she could see the master sooner and find out why she left back then.

After listening to Bibi Dong's question, Chen Feng thought for a moment and said:

"Thank you for your kindness, Your Holiness, but I was young at the time and did not expect that a clever idea I came up with casually would cause such a reaction from so many forces on the continent. So I was a little flustered for a moment and instinctively chose to conceal my identity. After that, I just continued to live like that in the habit."

Back then, he was just an adorable child, so it's understandable that he was frightened by such a huge event.

What complicated thoughts could a child like him possibly have?

So, the reason he chose to hide his identity back then is all because you people overreacted. Why don't you hurry up and reflect on yourselves?

Bibi Dong, Gui Meiyue, and the others found Chen Feng's answer quite reasonable. Back then, the scale of the operation in Notting City was far more than just a little larger; it could be said that all the prominent forces were mobilized.

It's normal for so many people to gather in a small city and frighten the children.

What they really cared about were some of the words in Chen Feng's speech.

"Just Something I Thought Of" and "A Little Bit of Cleverness"

Is this something a human being should say?

Who are you cursing here?

So many of us over the years have never imagined this, are you implying that we're all useless?

The ghost, who had once said something like "I might as well find a block of tofu and smash my head against it," turned even darker at this moment.

But when he looked at Chen Feng's youthful face, he nodded helplessly to himself.

Well said, I'm a piece of trash.

Bibi Dong nodded slightly. Although she felt a little uncomfortable because of Chen Feng's words, she still accepted his explanation.

She looked at the others around Chen Feng and said:

"Although things are already quite obvious, I still want to confirm one more time: is this young man really the scholar from back then? This matter is of utmost importance. Compared to this, the ownership of the championship is just a minor issue. If you want to resolve this dispute by impersonating someone else, I advise you to reconsider."

Ning Fengzhi pushed up his glasses and smiled, "Your Holiness is overthinking it. You should know that it was Jian Shu and I who held off the other forces back then, because Xiao Feng is Jian Shu's blood relative."

Davis also said:

"Mu Bai and Mr. Chen Feng knew each other earlier, and it was because of their relationship that the talents sent by my Xingluo Academy were able to enter that junior academy."

Bibi Dong then looked at the Grandmaster, who calmly said:

"The content about bloodline path in Xiaofeng's foundation building method is what he summarized after asking about my family's situation. In terms of comprehension, I am far inferior to this child."

Chen Feng shook his head and said, "Master, please don't underestimate yourself. You gave me a lot of help in completing the Foundation Establishment Method. You are the second author of that article."

The master sighed softly and said nothing more.

Bibi Dong nodded and said:

"Since that's the case, then this controversy is settled. From now on, all similar soul skills will be calculated according to Mr. Chen Feng's definition, that is, as long as the starting point when disappearing and the landing point when reappearing are within the arena, they are in compliance with the rules."

"Abilities like invisibility shouldn't be included," Chen Feng added.

“Of course, there are strong spectators at every match, and there’s a reason for that,” Bibi Dong said.

Without even asking Yan if he had any objections, she walked directly to the VIP table and announced to the entire audience:

"The final champion of this Continental Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament is Hydra Academy. Congratulations to you, young soul masters."

After making the announcement, Bibi Dong turned to Chen Feng and said:

"There's no need to come up here again. Please accept the championship reward."

"it is good."

Below, Chenfeng's teammates all wore expressions of joy, knowing that the team had not only won on the field, but also off the field.

At this point, Xiao Wu, Gu Yueling, and Dai Mubai had entered the aftereffects of the popsicle. They were quite exhausted, but they still forced themselves to stay awake.

Being unable to close one's eyes while sleeping is a given.

Only after hearing the Pope announce their victory did they sit down in their respective seats and close their eyes in peace.

On the VIP platform, surrounded by onlookers, Pope Bibi Dong received the brocade tray from the Spirit Hall staff, her gaze lingering on the three soul bones.

The cardinal beside him then began to explain the origins of these three soul bones to the entire audience:

"The three soul bones awarded to this champion are: the right arm of Explosive Burning Flame, taken from a 30,000-year-old Crimson Flame Beast; the left leg of Swift Wind Chaser, taken from a 30,000-year-old Wind Demon Tiger; and finally, the skull of spiritual wisdom taken from a 60,000-year-old Holy Illusion Demon Ape!"

Chen Feng's gaze swept over the three soul bones, landing on the last skull. He knew that this was the remnant of Xiao Wu's friend.

But Xiao Wu probably wouldn't do anything rash at this point, because more than half an hour had passed since she ate the popsicle. Even if she could still stay awake, she probably wouldn't have the energy to be lively and energetic.

When arranging tactics before the match, in the plan for Hu Liena in the Samsara Despair Pass, Chen Feng specifically had Dai Mubai and Gu Yueling fight against the Evil Blade Lord, and had Xiao Wu suppress the rest of the opponent's personnel.

This is not only because they are strong in combat and their respective roles are suitable for completing these tasks, but also because this causes Gu Yueling and Xiao Wu to consume a large amount of soul power.

Once soul power is significantly depleted, it needs to be replenished quickly if you want to continue fighting, and the only one in the team who can do this is Oscar's popsicle.

After eating popsicles, the aftereffects will begin to appear within half an hour.

Chen Feng was familiar with the process after the finals. Usually, the award ceremony would not officially begin until both teams had finished their treatments, and this half hour could easily pass by.

This is different from the comics. The awards ceremony doesn't have to wait until the day after the finals, which gives Chen Feng the opportunity to make his move.

Of course, Chen Feng didn't expect Yan to cause such a mess, but fortunately, the matter was resolved satisfactorily.

After receiving the brocade tray from Bibi Dong, Chen Feng's face showed just the right amount of joy. He even took a few more glances at the soul bones on the tray, behaving like an ordinary soul master who had just received a treasure.

At this moment, the desire in the eyes of Xie Yue and the other two was almost impossible to conceal. These were three soul bones of ten thousand years, the highest of which even reached the level of sixty thousand years. Who wouldn't want them?

Unfortunately, due to their inferior skills, the three soul bones slipped through their fingers.

If it were just a simple failure, that would be fine, but the key is that Yan insisted on causing trouble. Now look what happened, not only did they lose their master, but they also failed to retrieve the soul bone.

We've really lost a lot of money.

After receiving the championship prize, Chen Feng nodded slightly to Xue Qinghe, and then walked down from the VIP platform with Flander Ningfengzhi and others, returning to their own rest area.

Watching his departing figure, Qian Renxue, disguised as Xue Qinghe, sighed inwardly with frustration.

Why did she work so hard for so long in the first place?

It took a lot of effort to dig out useful clues, and then he probed little by little before finally finding out Chen Feng's identity without provoking Chen Feng's displeasure.

Now it's all been a waste of effort.

Thinking of this, Qian Renxue couldn't help but glare at Yan. It was all because of this little brat who was causing trouble for no reason.

That is to say, she can't reveal her identity right now, otherwise she would definitely hang this kid up and beat him.

Back in his own team, Chen Feng saw the three people fast asleep in their seats, and his heart immediately felt much more at ease. He could say that half of the final hurdle was over.

To make the three of them more comfortable, Tang San specially wove a recliner for each of them using Blue Silver Grass, which made them look quite relaxed.

Seeing Chen Feng return, Ma Hongjun stepped forward and asked:

"How was it, Brother Feng? Did the people from the Spirit Hall give you any trouble?"

"No, easily solved," Chen Feng said with a smile.

Ma Hongjun was relieved and turned his attention to the brocade plate in front of him.

"Wow, these are the three soul bones that are the champion's reward. They look really good."

He was a man of the world, but the sight of three soul bones laid out before him still made him gasp in amazement.

"It does look good, but there aren't enough of them. What do you say? Should we go back and wait until Boss Dai and the others wake up before dividing them up?" Chen Feng asked the others.

"Let's go back and talk about it then, there's no rush," Tang San said, and the others had no objections.

So Chen Feng put away the brocade plate along with the three soul bones and returned to the hotel with the others.

With this, the Soul Master Competition came to an end.

However, the aftermath of what happened after the match began to slowly spread.

Chapter 246 Accident

After returning to the hotel, Chen Feng went to rest first.

He's already quite tired after using the Cycle of Despair and the "moment" technique today.

I could still put on a brave face when I was on the VIP stage.

Now that I'm back at the hotel and have relaxed, I can't resist the drowsiness that comes my way.

The rest of the team went back to their rooms, planning to get a good night's sleep before discussing the three soul bones.

If eleven people are to share three soul bones, it's bound to be unevenly distributed.

But it's okay, because there's also the soul bone manufacturing technology, so those who didn't get one won't suffer a loss.

The teachers weren't too tired, and they chatted about what had happened that day. But before long, a cardinal from the Spirit Hall arrived.

“Master Yu, His Holiness the Pope requests your presence,” the cardinal said with a smile.

"Did the Pope say what it was about?" the master asked.

"No."

"He probably wants to rekindle their past relationship," Liu Erlong muttered to himself.

"Erlong, don't talk nonsense." After considering it for a moment, the master felt that since he was free anyway, going to the Spirit Hall wouldn't be a problem, so he nodded to the cardinal.
