Free Web NovelChapter 240: Chapter 239: The Coming Storm
"Captain, ten days ago, Qin Feng entered the Mystic Master Guild’s temporary courtyard. He’s been cultivating on the Guild’s territory this whole time!"
In a large mansion on a bustling street several miles from All Stars Academy.
A short, sharp-witted young man was reporting to Zhao Xuanmeng.
Zhao Xuanmeng muttered to herself, "The Mystic Master Guild? No wonder he’s so fearless. To think he has the Mystic Master Guild backing him!"
A cold glint flashed in her eyes.
"Also, according to the intelligence we bought from Wind Trust Hall, Qin Feng purchased the second layer of the Mixed Element Star Technique from the Dharma Transmission Hall ten days ago. We suspect that he had already condensed his Lifebound Star Mark back then!"
Zhao Xuanmeng clasped her hands behind her back, her gaze cold. "Continue."
"According to our intelligence and speculation, it’s highly likely that this man condensed a purple star!"
Among the myriad stars in the Star River, the first grade is gold, the second is purple, the third is silver, and the lowest is white.
A purple-quality star is considered high-grade!
"The Star Lords of the two golden stars that appeared on the Star Stele ten days ago—the Ice Soul Star and the Vermilion Bird Star—have been confirmed as Lu Qingxue and Ji Huang’Er."
"As for the three purple stars, one was the Central Earth Emperor Star, one was the Soul-devouring Star, and one was the Vast Sea Star!"
"According to our information, Qin Feng has a Water Attribute Constitution, so we can immediately rule out the Central Earth Emperor Star. The Soul-devouring Star is one of the Heaven and Earth Strange Stars. Although it’s only ranked as a purple star, some of its abilities are actually on par with the highest-grade golden stars. However, we speculate that the probability of Qin Feng resonating with that star is very low."
"Therefore, his Lifebound Star is most likely the Vast Sea Star!"
"I had you analyze Qin Feng all this time, and this is what you focused on?" Zhao Xuanmeng frowned.
"I want detailed information on his combat strength! And a plan on how to counter him, or even kill him!"
The short young man wiped the sweat from his forehead and hurriedly said.
"Please calm down, Captain. That’s exactly what I was about to say. According to our assessment, Qin Feng’s cultivation should be at the Late Stage of Martial Arts Twelve Heavens. However, our investigation suggests he cultivates an extremely superior Martial Arts Foundation Establishment Technique, and his True Qi is exceptionally deep!"
"At the Twelfth Realm of Martial Arts, he can already rival some experts in the First Secret Realm of Vein Condensation who have achieved Superior Foundation Establishment and condensed a Top-grade Heaven and Earth Seed!"
"Another point of concern is his cultivation in the Sword Dao. Our preliminary deduction is that he has likely comprehended Tide Sword Intent, a type of Water Sword Intent!"
"So, Captain, we suggest you bring a few experts who have comprehended the Earth Attribute Realm. Among the Five Elements, earth counters water!"
"Additionally, according to intelligence from the new students at Cyan Dragon Academy, Qin Feng seems to have entered the Lingxu Sect’s Refining Spirit Hall and obtained a Water Attribute Divine Power!"
"The power of this Divine Power is difficult to assess. Our conservative estimate is that it’s a Second-Order Water Divine Ability. We recommend that you prepare some Treasures to counter it!"
"Considering all factors, we believe that if you encounter him, Captain, there is a sixty percent chance of killing him outright, a twenty percent chance he will be severely injured and escape, a ten percent chance you and he will perish together, and the last ten percent is..."
Zhao Xuanmeng’s gaze shifted, taking in her subordinate’s hesitation. She gave a cold smile. "A ten percent chance that I’ll be careless and end up severely injured or killed by him!"
The short young man was drenched in sweat. "Captain, I..."
"There’s no need to be alarmed. I, Zhao Xuanmeng, judge the work, not the person. You’ve done a good job on this matter."
Zhao Xuanmeng’s expression was impassive.
"Alright. I just want to know how we can ensure a foolproof plan to kill him!"
"Rest assured, Captain. We have a complete plan. Although Qin Feng has many methods, he also has quite a few weaknesses. We’ve made many preparations targeting these weaknesses. As long as you seize the opportunity and follow our strategy, you will certainly be able to kill him for good!"
"Also, Captain, I’ve received intelligence that the other War Generals of the Five Elements Team have also been mobilized this time: the Tiger King, the Leopard King, the Ghost King, and the Wood King. If you can ally with these experts, not only could you kill Qin Feng, but you might even have a shot at the champion’s throne of the Hidden Dragon Points Ranking!"
"Well said. The Elders of the four academies might be strong, but they can’t withstand a joint attack from all the experts of our Five Elements Team. Contact these War Generals for me right now. Tell them I, Zhao Xuanmeng, am hosting a banquet at the Celestial Wolf Pavilion..."
...
In Heaven’s Edge Sea Pavilion, numerous female experts were gathered amidst jade pavilions and magnificent palaces.
At their head was an exceptionally powerful female expert, a peerless young woman in a goose-yellow palace dress. She was the previous Elder of Vermilion Bird Academy, Lin Fei’Er.
Her aura was exceptionally tyrannical. A terrifying, earth-yellow star appeared behind her, exuding a frightening presence that seemed to reign over the Taigu era.
This was a phenomenon. Rumor had it that only the most powerful experts of the Condensing Vein Realm could manifest their own phenomenon.
Below her sat Lu Qingxue, with Ji Huang’Er on the other side. The two women seemed to be rivals. On another side were some of the female experts from the previous generation.
Each of these female experts possessed a powerful aura and graceful bearing. The place resembled the Divine Maiden Palace above the Nine Heavens.
With the tinkling of their jade pendants, the gathering of female experts was like something out of the Women’s Kingdom!
Also present on both sides were Du Pingxia, Yu Yao, and other women.
A majestic voice echoed through Heaven’s Edge Sea Pavilion, "Sisters, our goal this time is the championship title of the Hidden Dragon Points Ranking. We, Heaven’s Edge Sea Pavilion, are determined to win!"
...
Within the Taichu Team’s base, inside the Taichu War Palace, a storm was brewing. At its head was a noble youth in a golden robe with a gentle face.
Behind him, a golden star bloomed into a phenomenon.
Venus Descends!
This was the previous Elder of Xuanwu Academy, Jin Ruyi. fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
Below him was another extremely powerful expert of the Condensing Vein Realm. He was slender with a gloomy expression, and his aura fluctuated. Although he was not as strong as Jin Ruyi, he far surpassed most of the others present.
This was another expert from the Taichu Team, the War King, Ouyang Yu.
Below him were several prodigies from previous years, all with powerful auras.
In the last few seats sat the new students who had joined the Taichu Team this year: Zhao Sikong, Tuoba Ye, and Liu Canyang.
These top-tier new students were ranked at the very bottom in the great hall. There were even other prodigies, like Li Qiubai and Wang Xiaosheng, who could only stand.
Jin Ruyi stood up, his presence as deep as an abyss and as steady as a mountain, his gaze like that of a Demon God. "Everyone, this time, the first-place position on the Hidden Dragon Points Ranking is something our Taichu Team must obtain!"
"Anyone who dares to oppose us will face only one outcome!"
"Death!"
"Death!"
"Death!"
A heaven-shaking Evil Qi erupted from the Taichu War Palace, startling the very clouds.
...
At the Yiyue Team’s base...
At the White Sun Team’s base...
At the Bishui Team’s base...
...
All Stars Academy was filled with the oppressive atmosphere of an impending great battle, like the calm before a storm.
Countless prodigies and experts were stirred to action by the news.
The undercurrents surged, and the situation grew treacherous.
The wind howls through the tower, heralding a coming storm.
