《After Canceling My Marriage My Bloodline Awake》 Chapter 1 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°Have you heard? The young miss of the Feng Clan, Feng Zhi, is going to awaken her bloodline today!¡± ¡°There was a fortune-teller who said that in this generation of the Feng Clan, there will be a genius girl that is hard to come by in a hundred years. She must be the daughter of the patriarch of the Feng Clan!¡± ¡°Right, the young miss¡¯s parents are the strongest fire element warriors. She will definitely awaken her fire element bloodline! Our Square City is going to rise up!¡± ¡­ In the Feng residence, one could vaguely hear the discussions coming from outside. ¡°Zhi Zhi, are you ready?¡± In the room, Feng Zhi raised her eyes and looked at herself in the mirror. The 18-year-old girl had a bright and beautiful face. She had willow-like eyebrows, almond-shaped eyes, a small perky nose, lips that were like flower petals, and snow-white hair. It made people lose their minds. ¡°I¡¯m ready, mother.¡± She pushed the door open and went out. Thinking of the fortuitous encounter yesterday, she was a little hesitant. ¡°I have a bad feeling about today¡¯s bloodline awakening¡­¡± Feng Zhi¡¯s mother held her hand and led her to the testing field. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. Your father and I both have fire-type bloodlines, and you¡¯ve been smart since you were young. Nothing will happen¡­¡± Feng Zhi suppressed the uneasiness in her heart and nodded. The test field was built on top of a high platform. The platform was already filled with people, most of whom were from the Feng family. Seeing Feng Zhi, everyone suddenly fell silent and began to discuss intensely again. ¡°She¡¯s Here! Our genius young miss is here!¡± ¡°Young miss is really beautiful today. That kid from the Gu family is really lucky. I heard that after the bloodline awakening today, the Gu family will set a wedding date with our eldest miss¡­¡± ¡°Tch, even if she doesn¡¯t get engaged to Gu Yi, is young miss something that you can dream about? You might as well dream about second young miss. She has also awakened her bloodline today¡­¡± ¡°Sigh, it¡¯s not that I¡¯m gossiping. Second young miss Feng Lan is only young miss¡¯s cousin, not a direct descendant. In addition, second master Feng¡¯s bloodline is only of the wood element. The result of the awakening is already predictable¡­¡± Amidst the waves of voices, Feng Zhi slowly stepped onto the high platform. Her back was straight, and every step carried the elegance of an aristocrat, making women jealous and men envious. Feng Zhi stopped in the middle of the high platform and stood shoulder to shoulder with Feng Lan. Her beauty and bearing instantly surpassed Feng Lan by a large margin. Feng Lan clenched her fingers, silently enduring. From a young age, no matter what Feng Zhi did, she was more popular than her! It was just that she had a direct line of descent status¡­ As the family head, Father Feng sat on the main seat and revealed a loving smile. ¡°Let¡¯s begin. Who will go first?¡± Feng Zhi had yet to speak. Feng Lan took the first step forward and said obediently, ¡°uncle, I can give it a try first.¡± She could not fall behind Feng Zhi! If Feng Zhi was really a genius that was hard to come by in a hundred years, then her appearance at the back would only make her look even dimmer. Since she had said so, Feng Zhi did not have any objections. She stepped back and said, ¡°alright.¡± Although she did not like her cousin very much since she was young, it was not to the point of snatching an opportunity from her. In the middle of the high platform, there was a huge pentagram formation. Every line was shining with a golden light. The five corners of the platform were connected to spirit stones embedded in the ground, representing the five elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. If the person who entered the array awakened the five elemental bloodlines, the corresponding color of the spirit stone would light up. Feng Lan looked at the array, took a deep breath, and stepped into it. She closed her eyes and circulated the spiritual Qi in her body.. Soon, a burst of strong light burst out from her body! ¡°Gosh, the second miss is so powerful!¡± ¡°I haven¡¯t seen such pure spiritual Qi for a long time¡­ if the second miss awakened a fire-elemental bloodline, wouldn¡¯t she get even stronger?¡± ¡°Look! ! The red spirit stone lit up! Fire-type! The second young miss has awakened a fire-type bloodline!!!¡± The voices below the stage suddenly became louder! Feng Lan opened her eyes excitedly. When she saw the fire-type spirit stone lit up, she was so excited that she was trembling! She had succeeded! She had really reversed her bloodline and awakened a fire-type bloodline! The Feng clan had another fire-type clansman. Father Feng was very happy. He congratulated his arrogant second brother repeatedly before looking at Feng Zhi in anticipation. ¡°Zhi Zhi, it¡¯s your turn.¡± Feng Zhi nodded. Putting aside what she had heard yesterday, she calmly stepped into the array and circulated the spiritual power around her¡­ Swoosh¨C At that moment, the light on Feng Zhi¡¯s body was almost white-hot. It was dozens of times stronger than the light on Feng Lan¡¯s body just now! Everyone was so dazzled that they could not open their eyes. The whole place was dead silent. After a long while, someone finally spoke with a trembling voice. ¡°This is too terrifying¡­ is this the rare genius young lady? I thought the second young miss¡¯s spiritual power was already pure enough¡­¡± ¡°The purity of this spiritual power is even stronger than the patriarch!¡± ¡°The young miss will definitely be the strongest fire element warrior! She will lead the Feng Clan to revival!¡± ¡°God bless our Feng Clan, God bless our Square City, to have such a genius born here!¡± However, very quickly, the excited voice was replaced by another scream that was so shocked that it broke¨C ¡°Blue! The one that lit up is a blue spirit stone! Water bloodline! The one that young miss has awakened is the weakest water bloodline!!!¡± Chapter 2 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The moment the scream was heard, silence fell. Water bloodline? Feng Zhi¡¯s heart skipped a beat. She slowly opened her eyes and stared at the glowing blue spirit stone. As expected, her premonition came true.. Pa! The teacup in Father Feng¡¯s hand fell and shattered on the ground. ¡°How is this possible? There has never been such a precedent¡­¡± How could the daughter of a fire couple awaken a bloodline other than fire? ¡°What¡¯s impossible? The truth is right in front of us.¡± Second master Feng snorted coldly. ¡°There are only two daughters in this generation. It¡¯s obvious that the genius girl in the prophecy is Lan Lan. Big brother, you¡¯d better hand over the ancestral treasure box and let Lan Lan open it.¡± According to the rules, whoever could open the treasure box and take out the treasures inside would become the next family head. Second master Feng¡¯s eyes flashed with a calculating light. Father Feng frowned. To be fair, he was not willing to hand over the Feng Clan to the second branch. If it was not for the fact that the second branch had lost the battle back then, the Feng Clan would not have been reduced to a second-rate clan. Second master Feng could see his reluctance. ¡°What? Big brother, you wouldn¡¯t be determined to leave the position of family head to his own daughter, right?¡± ¡°Feng Zhi has awakened the weakest water bloodline, a weakling destined to become a slave! You have disregarded the rules of our ancestors and allowed her to inherit the throne. Are you trying to cause the entire Feng Clan to fall along with you!?¡± When the Feng clansmen heard this, they could not sit still. ¡°That¡¯s right, family head. The one who has awakened the fire bloodline is the second young miss. Naturally, she should hand over the treasure box to the second young miss.¡± ¡°The eldest young miss doesn¡¯t even have a medium-grade metal, wood, and earth bloodline. According to the rules, she should be sent to be a slave. Family head, you can¡¯t have selfish motives¡­¡± ¡°We all admire the eldest young miss because we thought that she would awaken her fire bloodline. But now, she is completely incapable of becoming the family head!¡± Feng Zhi¡¯s face was a little pale, but she was still calm. Looking at the completely changed faces of those people, she said coldly. ¡°Father, give the treasure box to Feng Lan.¡± She was not interested in the successor of the family, and she did not like others to speculate about her father maliciously. Father Feng sighed and made a hand gesture. Immediately, someone presented the treasure box. The color of the treasure box was pure black, and the material was unknown. There were ancient and complicated patterns engraved on it, and fluorescent lights flowed in the engravings, making it seem very mysterious¡­ Feng Lan could not suppress her excitement and reached out to press on the treasure box, injecting her spirit energy into it. Below the stage, she held her breath and stared at her movements. However, very quickly, everyone¡¯s eyes widened¨C Because the treasure box was under Feng Lan¡¯s hands, there was no reaction at all! Feng Zhi narrowed her eyes slightly and the corners of her mouth twitched at second master Feng. ¡°Second uncle, it looks like the old ancestor doesn¡¯t want a genius to take over our Feng Clan?¡± She had been displeased with this second uncle for a long time and his ambitions were much greater than his abilities. Second master Feng¡¯s expression was very unsightly as he said in a low voice, ¡°It must be because of Lan Lan, she just awakened and her strength is just not enough for the time being. Why don¡¯t you give the treasure box to us for safekeeping first and wait for her to be strong enough¡­¡± As he said that, he stretched out his hand to take the box. Swoosh! However, there was someone who moved even faster than him. Feng Zhi suddenly raised her hand and a short whip slid out from her sleeve. She quickly rolled the box and caught it in her hand. ¡°Since she¡¯s not strong enough, let¡¯s wait for her to be strong enough before we open it.¡± !! Feng Lan looked at her elegant actions and the negative energy that she had suppressed for many years exploded. She growled, ¡°Feng Zhi! Who do you think you are to disobey my father? Don¡¯t forget that you are now a piece of trash!¡± The mysterious sky continent advocated cultivation, and water-type bloodlines meant that one was inferior to others! Even if Feng Zhi was the legitimate daughter, she could not escape the contempt of her clansmen. How long could Feng Zhi be arrogant? From now on, it should be her, Feng Lan¡¯s world! Feng Lan¡¯s voice was very soft, but her tone was very vicious. Feng Zhi raised her eyebrows and slowly walked towards her. With every step, Feng Lan instinctively took a step back in fear. ¡°You stopped pretending so quickly? Didn¡¯t you used to call me big sister? You used to address me very affectionately?¡± Feng Zhi used the handle of the whip to lift Feng Lan¡¯s chin. ¡°You can¡¯t even beat a trash like me. Aren¡¯t you trash among trash?¡± It was true that she had awakened her water bloodline, but that did not mean that she would lose the pride of the Feng family¡¯s eldest miss because of this! Feng Lan¡¯s face was a little pale. She knew that Feng Zhi was born with strong physical strength. Even if she did not use her spiritual power, she was still more powerful than many of her peers in actual combat. ¡°So, so what?¡± Feng Lan pretended to be tough. ¡°You only have brute force. As long as I start cultivating, I will soon surpass you and become a powerful warrior! And you will be sent to the slave camp, washed, cooked, and played with by others¡­ Ah!¡± Slap! Feng Zhi slapped her face! Chapter 3 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation This change was too sudden and the Feng family elders all stood up. ¡°Zhi Zhi!¡± Father Feng called out. Second master Feng immediately walked in front of the two of them and pulled Feng Lan away as he looked at Father Feng with a dark face. ¡°Big brother, Feng Zhi bullied Lan Lan in front of so many family members. Shouldn¡¯t you give us an explanation?¡± Father Feng also came forward with an anxious expression. ¡°Zhi Zhi, what happened?¡± Feng Zhi opened her mouth. Feng Lan was the first to speak. ¡°Sister said that I¡¯ve awakened my fire-type bloodline and stole her genius title. She said that she hates me and wants to beat me to death!¡± ¡°¡­¡± Father Feng¡¯s expression turned heavy as he looked at Feng Zhi with a questioning look. Although he did not hear what they were saying, he knew his daughter well. She was not such a person. Feng Zhi pursed her lips and did not speak. Feng Lan¡¯s words were too dirty for her to speak. Father Feng hesitated for a moment. ¡°There might be some misunderstanding¡­¡± ¡°What misunderstanding could there be?¡± With a cold snort, another person walked up from the high platform. ¡°I saw it clearly from below. It was Feng Zhi who made the first move. I didn¡¯t expect that not only was her talent bad, but her character was also so low. My Gu family has really misjudged her!¡± Father Feng turned his head and was stunned for a moment. ¡°Brother Gu¡­¡± ¡°Don¡¯t call me that.¡± The middle-aged man¡¯s face was cold and solemn. ¡°Originally, we came here to establish a good relationship with the Feng family. But now¡­ Let¡¯s break off the engagement!¡± Break off the engagement! These words were like a big stone that smashed into the bottom of everyone¡¯s heart. ¡°How can this be?¡± Father Feng was shocked. ¡°The marriage of a child was decided by the older generation. If we rashly break off the engagement, where will we hide our Feng family¡¯s face? Where will we hide our child¡¯s face?¡± In this era, it was a great shame for a woman to be canceled by a man! Father Gu stood with his hands behind his back. ¡°Your face is completely disgraced by yourselves! Feng Zhi¡¯s conduct is improper, how can she be worthy to be the Gu family¡¯s daughter-in-law?¡± Just as he finished speaking, a light laugh was heard. Father Gu looked over in surprise and happened to meet Feng Zhi¡¯s bright little face. Her eyes were clear and bright. ¡°Uncle Gu wants to break off the engagement. Do you know whether it¡¯s because of my bad conduct or because I haven¡¯t awakened my fire bloodline?¡± Her words undoubtedly tore off father Gu¡¯s veil of shame. Father Gu¡¯s expression froze, but he quickly regained his composure. ¡°So what? If it wasn¡¯t for the Feng family¡¯s reputation as a genius, how could they have climbed above the Gu Family? Did someone really think that our Gu family would be interested in a second-rate family like yours?¡± In Square City, the Gu family¡¯s influence was obviously greater than the Feng family¡¯s. The smile in Feng Zhi¡¯s eyes disappeared. ¡°So Uncle Gu is trying to force the Feng family to break off the engagement?¡± She had no feelings for Gu Yi at all, but that did not mean that he could trample on her parents¡¯ dignity! ¡°There¡¯s no need to break off the engagement with the Feng family.¡± Father Gu pondered for a moment and even tried to hide his disdain. ¡°Since we now know that the genius is the second miss of the Feng family, then it¡¯s not impossible for us to force the marriage to be with the second miss.¡± Hearing this, Feng Lan¡¯s heart was wild with joy. She had long been envious of Feng Zhi¡¯s marriage. As long as their second branch is connected with the Gu family, they might be able to quickly kick the current family head off the stage and take over the Feng family by themselves! Feng Lan¡¯s heart was beating wildly, but her face was full of understanding. ¡°Father, uncle, for the sake of the Feng family, I¡¯m willing to marry into the Gu family!¡± Father Feng¡¯s face finally sank. He finally understood that the Gu family was not worthy of his trust. But as a father, how could he allow his child to be annulled in front of so many people and lose all face? ¡°This matter, I don¡¯t¡­¡± ¡°I agree.¡± Feng Zhi directly opened her mouth and interrupted her father¡¯s words. The Feng family looked at her in shock. Had the eldest miss suffered too much and lost her mind? Such a good marriage opportunity and she was actually willing to break off the engagement? Even father Gu did not expect her to be so easy to talk to. He was stunned for a moment before he took out the marriage contract that he had long prepared. ¡°Since that¡¯s the case, then I¡¯ll call Yi to go on stage and you two can work together to cancel this marriage contract¡­¡± ¡°Wait.¡± Feng Zhi laughed lightly and said unhurriedly, ¡°I said I agreed, but I didn¡¯t say I agreed just like that.¡± Father Gu suddenly felt that he had been played, and his tone was not very good. ¡°You want to go back on your word? Little girl, if you want money, the Gu family can give it to you. But I advise you to put away your other thoughts. The Feng family is not worthy of the Gu family, to begin with, and don¡¯t go against the Gu family. You can¡¯t bear the consequences.¡± Feng Zhi was extremely disgusted. Using power to pressure others? ¡°Since Uncle Gu thinks that no one is worthy of the Gu family, why don¡¯t you just let your son marry your daughter?¡± ¡°You!¡± Father Gu was so angry that he could not speak. Feng Zhi looked at him coldly, not afraid at all. ¡°I will break off the marriage, but you must apologize to my father ¡ª bow and apologize.¡± Chapter 4 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation There was an uproar below the stage. Although a bow and apology were not comparable to a kneel and apologize, it was still considered a very high standard. How could it be possible for the more powerful father Gu to bow and apologize to Father Feng? As expected, Father Gu¡¯s face turned ashen. ¡°In your dreams!¡± ¡°Oh.¡± Feng Zhi shrugged. ¡°Since that¡¯s the case, then please destroy the marriage contract yourself. It doesn¡¯t matter if it can¡¯t be destroyed. Feng Lan marrying into the Gu family and becoming a concubine is not bad either.¡± In the mysterious Sky Continent, once the marriage contract was effective, only the two parties involved were willing can destroy the marriage contract together. If Feng Zhi did not take action, then this marriage would never be resolved. In name, she had always been the daughter-in-law of the Gu family. Father Gu was furious. The position of the main wife was empty, and he could only marry a concubine? What kind of nonsense was that! Second master Feng and Feng Lan were also extremely anxious. ¡°Feng Zhi! Your talent is bad, yet you still refuse to give up your position. Do you want to drag down the entire Feng Clan?!¡± Feng Zhi crossed her arms and said, ¡°you guys think so highly of the Feng Clan. I heard that the Sacred Flame sect is currently recruiting female disciples at a high price. Once they are selected, their family will become extremely wealthy. Do you want Feng Lan to give it a try?¡± Feng Lan was so frightened that she hid behind second master Feng. ¡°Big sister, why are you so vicious!¡± That Sacred Flame sect was a lewd organization. They said that they were recruiting female disciples, but in reality, it was just to provide them with lewd pleasures! As they spoke, a figure jumped onto the high platform. The man was tall and handsome, but his face was dark. ¡°Father, please agree to her.¡± Gu Yi¡¯s face was cold. ¡°I think this woman is just lusting after the power of the Gu family and finding an excuse not to break off the engagement.¡± He looked at Feng Zhi with disappointment and reproached, ¡°to say such humiliating words to your own sister, I didn¡¯t expect you to be such a person! Feng Zhi, give up. I can¡¯t marry a woman like you who has a pretty face but is vicious.¡± Feng Zhi, ¡°¡­¡± Handsome man, who are you? She guessed that this person was probably her fianc¨¦. However, the two of them had not even met before. Where did he get the qualification to be so narcissistic? ¡°No matter what kind of person I am, I am still a human being. But what you said is really no different from a beast.¡± ¡°You!¡± Gu Yi had been known as a genius since he was young and had never been insulted like this. Feng Zhi could not be bothered with him and was getting impatient. ¡°If you want to break off the engagement, then hurry up and apologize. My time is very precious. If you delay any longer, I guarantee that you will be a widow for the rest of your life.¡± She held a short whip in her hand and stood there arrogantly, like the noblest queen. Gu Yi was stunned for a moment, then he spat at himself. No matter how beautiful this woman was, she was just a vicious woman! After a long while, father Gu finally spoke. ¡°Good, good. Patriarch Feng, you¡¯ve raised such a good daughter!¡± He bowed with a malicious expression. ¡°I¡¯m sorry, I apologize for my behavior just now.¡± The Feng clansmen were already stunned. The eldest miss was so brave! She actually forced the patriarch of the Gu clan to apologize! Father Feng¡¯s expression was not too good either. ¡°I don¡¯t accept your apology!¡± He walked past father Gu, patted Feng Zhi¡¯s head, and lowered his voice. ¡°Good daughter, don¡¯t be sad. It¡¯s fine if we don¡¯t want this kind of in-law¡¯s family. Although the upper limit for upgrading water-type bloodlines is low, with our family¡¯s influence, it¡¯s still not a problem for us to help you find a second-rate expert as my son-in-law!¡± ¡°Pfft¡­¡± Feng Zhi could not help but laugh. Her father¡¯s appearance seemed to have suffered a greater blow than hers. In her father¡¯s stunned state, she slowly retracted her smile and enunciated each word clearly. ¡°Father, look carefully. I agreed to break off the engagement not because I was forced to, but because I don¡¯t like blind men like him at all!¡± ¡°I promise you here that I will definitely find a man who is a hundred times better than Gu Yi and let him join my Feng family!¡± Father Feng¡¯s entire body trembled and father Gu immediately revealed an expression of being insulted. Second Master Feng, who was listening from the side, did not feel good and began to taunt him harshly. ¡°Haha¡­ Feng Zhi, are you dreaming? After the Gu family broke off the engagement, who else would want a second-hand thing like you?¡± ¡°Second-hand thing? Didn¡¯t second uncle¡¯s family pick up second-hand things that I threw away?¡± Feng Zhi sneered, ¡°fortunately, I, Feng Zhi, don¡¯t want trash from the roadside, but the stars in the sky. As for trash like young master Gu¡­ I¡¯ll leave it for you to enjoy.¡± With that, she grabbed the marriage contract and held Gu Yi¡¯s wrist. Their palms clasped together and made a seal. Gu Yi was still angry at her words, but in the next second, his palm touched her small hand. The girl¡¯s fingers were long and slender, and her skin was fair and creamy¡­ He felt his scalp go numb for a moment. But before he could react, Feng Zhi had already activated her spiritual power¨C Crack! The marriage contract was torn into pieces and fell down like snowflakes. ¡°From now on, you and I have nothing to do with each other.¡± Feng Zhi let go of Gu Yi without hesitation and wiped her fingers with a handkerchief in disgust. Then, she pulled Father Feng away from the stage. Gu Yi looked at her back and listened to his father and second master Feng rearrange the marriage contract. His heart was actually empty. He looked at his palm in confusion. Was it right to break off the engagement this time? Chapter 5 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation As soon as she stepped off the stage, mother Feng came forward to welcome her. She already knew what had happened, but she did not go up to disturb her. At this moment, she pulled Feng Zhi into her arms. ¡°Baby, don¡¯t worry. Mommy won¡¯t let you become a slave! If I pay you to go to the academy, you¡¯ll at least become a powerhouse in the lower middle reaches¡­¡± Feng Zhi¡¯s heart sank. Compared to breaking off the engagement, awakening the water-type bloodline was what she cared about the most. She had to verify one thing. Feng Zhi comforted her parents and left under everyone¡¯s strange gazes. She took a small path and headed straight for the forbidden area at the back of the mountain. ¡°Come out!¡± She ran into a cave and shouted into the air, ¡°I know you¡¯re here!¡± After a moment of silence, an invisible fluctuation seemed to appear in the dark air. ¡°Hehe¡­¡± A low and hoarse voice suddenly sounded, ¡°Little Princess, is today¡¯s bloodline awakening going smoothly? Seeing how angry you are, you shouldn¡¯t have successfully awakened your fire-type bloodline, right?¡± There was no one in the cave, but the voice was real. It was as if every stone was making a sound. Feng Zhi clenched her fingers and gritted her teeth. ¡°Was it you who played tricks?¡± She had come here unexpectedly yesterday. This monster-like guy insisted on taking a fancy to her talent and wanted her to inherit his bloodline. Feng Zhi naturally refused. She had the orthodox fire bloodline of the Feng family, so why should she inherit someone else¡¯s? But the voice said that she would soon lose her fire bloodline. Feng Zhi did not believe it at first, but everything that had happened today made her have to face it. ¡°Little girl, you¡¯re very smart.¡± That voice was very lazy as if it did not think that it was wrong at all. ¡°If it wasn¡¯t like this, how would I force you to accept my god of destruction bloodline?¡± God of Destruction bloodline! Feng Zhi¡¯s pupils suddenly constricted. ¡°What did you say?¡± ¡°It looks like you also know about the god of destruction bloodline.¡± That voice laughed. ¡°That¡¯s right, it¡¯s that god of destruction bloodline that has disappeared for many years. It¡¯s the same bloodline of the ancient gods as the god of healing bloodline. It¡¯s much, much stronger than your five elements bloodline¡­¡± Feng Zhi¡¯s breathing quickened for a moment. In this land that worshipped power, no one did not want to obtain the god of destruction bloodline or the healing bloodline. Compared to the five elements bloodline, these two bloodlines not only had much stronger power, but they also had additional skills. Throughout history, once such bloodlines appeared, the possessors would be pursued and hunted down by various factions. If they could survive, they would definitely become an overlord of a region¡­ Feng Zhi was still on high alert. ¡°Who exactly are you, and why did you choose me?¡± The voice replied, ¡°I¡¯m a demon dragon that was sealed here by an ancient god. I¡¯ve been sealed here for too long, and if I don¡¯t devour spiritual energy soon, I¡¯ll die.¡± ¡°As for why I chose you? It¡¯s because the spiritual energy in your body is too delicious. Little girl, I¡¯m going to make you stronger and force you back to devour you in one gulp¡­ how is it, are you afraid?¡± Feng Zhi frowned. She had long heard from her parents that there was a demon dragon sealed in the back of the mountain, but because it had been too long, no one had ever seen it before. She had never thought that she would actually meet it. ¡°Have you thought about it?¡± The demon dragon urged in a low voice and enticed, ¡°don¡¯t you want to get rid of the fate of becoming a slave? Don¡¯t you want to become a powerhouse?¡± Feng Zhi whipped the ground. ¡°Become a slave? That was all your doing!¡± The demon dragon choked. After Feng Zhi vented her anger, she calmed down. No, she could never become a slave. Her parents only had her as a daughter. If she became a slave, they would all be spurned and humiliated. Besides, Feng Lan had awakened her fire bloodline. When she became stronger day by day, she would definitely not let Feng Zhi¡¯s parents off! Feng Zhi¡¯s eyes were cold and stern. ¡°Alright, I accept.¡± She wanted to become stronger! The demon dragon did not expect her to calm down so quickly. He was slightly shocked. ¡°Are you sure? In a year, I will devour you.¡± Feng Zhi lifted her chin. At this moment, the light in her eyes was extremely bright. ¡°Devour? When that time comes, who knows who will devour who?¡± The demon dragon laughed loudly. ¡°As expected of the little girl that I have taken a fancy to! Are you ready? I¡¯m about to begin.¡± Feng Zhi sat on the ground and slowly closed her eyes. Around her, dark red dots of light gradually floated up. More and more of them gradually seeped into her body¡­ Feng Zhi peeked inside her body and saw with her own eyes that in her diaphragm, other than a blue ball of light, another dark red ball of light was slowly condensing. That ball of light had a strange color and would occasionally discharge electricity outward. With one look, one could tell that it contained violent energy. Before long, Feng Zhi¡¯s heartbeat quickened and her body became hotter and hotter¡­ ¡°How did this happen?¡± She suddenly opened her eyes. ¡°Oh, I forgot to tell you. The god of destruction bloodline has a small side effect.¡± The demon dragon smiled guiltily. ¡°I left a wisp of consciousness in my bloodline that can communicate with you, but I¡¯m too weak right now. I have to sleep for a while. You deal with it yourself¡­¡± After saying that, there was no more sound. F*ck. Feng Zhi cursed. The heat came quickly and fiercely, and her vision soon became blurry. She maintained her remaining rationality and stumbled out, but she bumped into a broad and cool embrace¡­ Man? A stranger! Chapter 6 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Feng Zhi immediately wanted to push him away, but when she came into contact with the man¡¯s cold aura, she suddenly felt a strange desire. She wanted to touch more¡­ The heatwave in her body drove Feng Zhi, and she could not control her rationality. She looked up and saw an extremely handsome face. The man¡¯s profile was sharp, his eyes were deep, and his gaze was cold. Under the straight bridge of his nose, the shape of his thin lips was extremely good-looking, with a moist luster. Feng Zhi¡¯s brain immediately exploded. ¡°Um¡­¡± All the blood in her body rushed to her head. Feng Zhi was so thirsty that she subconsciously stood on her tiptoes, sucked on his moist lips, and closed her eyes to suck on it. Suddenly being forcefully kissed made Chu Yao¡¯s entire body stiffen. ¡°You¡­¡± Were all the women in Square City so unrestrained? He pressed his hands on her shoulders, wanting to push her away, but when he touched her body, he was completely stunned. That dark red spiritual energy was.. ¡°The god of destruction bloodline?¡± Chu Yao¡¯s fingers paused. No wonder it was like this. He had heard that the demon dragon of the Feng clan was imprisoned in this cave, so he wanted to join in the fun and get a glimpse of it. He did not expect to meet an awakened one of the god of destruction bloodline. Feng Zhi sensed that the man wanted to retreat. She frowned in discomfort and whispered. ¡°Don¡¯t move¡­ Don¡¯t move¡­ help me¡­¡± The hot blood in her body urgently needed to cool down. In her anxiety, she became stronger and stronger. She tore open Chu Yao¡¯s clothes with a piercing sound and kissed his beautiful collarbone and strong chest eagerly¡­ Chu Yao grunted, a dark fire burning in his eyes. He had never had such a strong desire from a woman before¡­ As expected, a person with the god of destruction bloodline had a fatal attraction to him. Chu Yao had a myriad of thoughts in his mind, but his hands did not stop moving. He pinched the back of Feng Zhi¡¯s neck, and after the girl had fainted, he cut open his palm with a dagger and dripped his blood into her mouth. As more and more blood gathered, Chu Yao¡¯s face gradually turned pale, but the redness on Feng Zhi¡¯s face slowly disappeared and she quieted down. After a long while, Chu Yao pulled a piece of cloth to bandage his wound and smiled faintly. ¡°Seeing that we share the same fate, I¡¯ll help you this time for free. You¡¯re welcome.¡± After an unknown amount of time, Feng Zhi opened her eyes. Everything that had happened before was replaying in her mind. She and a stranger¡­ Feng Zhi lowered her head to look at the messy clothes on her body and the pale-faced man who was sleeping not far away. Her gaze turned cold. This man actually wanted her while she was still unconscious?! She raised her hand and placed her fingertips on the man¡¯s neck. It was as if she could strangle him to death with just a bit of force. But in the end, Feng Zhi did not make a move. Forget it. At least he had saved her. Moreover, this face was so pretty. She would just treat it as if she was looking for a face. Feng Zhi took out a few gold coins from her body and threw them onto the weeds beside him. ¡°This is your payment for your hard work.¡± After saying that, she picked up the scattered clothes on the ground and left the cave without looking back. Chu Yao heard the noise and slowly opened his eyes. He only saw her receding figure. He picked up the gold coins, placed them in his palm, and played with them. He laughed out loud. ¡°This little girl is quite interesting.¡± ¡­ In the Feng family¡¯s residence, the sounds of quarreling made Feng Zhi frown and quicken her steps. ¡°Since she has awakened her water element ability, she should be sent to be a slave!¡± ¡°Clan head, don¡¯t tell me you want the entire Feng clan to be criticized behind her back because of her?¡± Second master Feng held his teacup and sat down, urging the uncles of the other Feng clan to keep shouting and forcing father Feng to nod his head. ¡°Shut up, it¡¯s impossible for Zhi Zhi to be a slave!¡± ¡°I will send Zhi Zhi to the East Summer Academy! She is my daughter, it¡¯s not up to you to discipline her!¡± Father Feng was not willing to give in. Now, the academy was Feng Zhi¡¯s last chance. No matter how much it cost, even if he had to dig out all his assets, he was willing. Standing at the door, Feng Zhi looked at her father¡¯s white hair, as if he had aged many years in an instant. She could not bear it and took a step forward. However, she heard her second uncle speak. ¡°You spent a lot of money to send Feng Zhi to the East Summer Academy? That is the highest-end academy in East Lin Country!¡± ¡°What you spent, isn¡¯t it the Feng family¡¯s money? Using our money to raise a good-for-nothing, I don¡¯t agree!¡± Second master Feng¡¯s words were like a stone thrown into the water, setting off waves of discussion and crusade. Father Feng could not bear it any longer, he turned around, took out a thick stack of books, and slapped it in front of everyone. ¡°Over these years, each family has secretly used a lot of money, the accounts are clearly recorded. Don¡¯t think that no one knows!¡± ¡°Especially your second son. He bought a fire essence crystal a while ago. Heh, could it be that he got our approval?¡± The surroundings suddenly fell silent. Looking at second master Feng, there were some changes in his eyes. Fire essence crystal was a treasure refined from 9,999 fire-type magical beast essence crystals. It was a rare treasure even at a sky-high price. It was said that as long as one consumed it, there was a 1% chance that the bloodline would be reversed upon awakening! And Feng Lan¡­ Did indeed awaken the fire bloodline. Chapter 7 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Father Feng snorted. ¡°Using fire essence crystals to awaken Feng Lan¡¯s bloodline? Second brother, you¡¯re obviously cheating!¡± Second master Feng was exposed and could not be bothered to pretend anymore. He revealed a fierce expression. ¡°The probability of using fire essence crystals to reverse the bloodline is only 1% . What¡¯s the use? Feng Lan awakened it completely with her strength!¡± ¡°The reality is right in front of us now. Feng Lan is stronger than Feng Zhi. She will be the future head of the family. Does anyone dare to disagree?¡± Second master Feng flicked his sleeves and swept his gaze across the crowd. Due to Feng Lan¡¯s bloodline, they all agreed with him. ¡°That¡¯s right! Feng Zhi is too weak. Even if she is sent to the East Summer Academy, they will chase her out in a few days¡­¡± ¡°At that time, the entire city would look down on her, and it would be even more humiliating. Even the children of the Feng family would be despised. Why bother?¡± In Feng Zhi¡¯s impression, her father had always been refined. She had never seen him argue with anyone, but now, he was confronting everyone for her sake. She felt a little uncomfortable deep down in her heart. Hearing the mocking voices around him, Father Feng clenched his fists tightly. He was about to retort when Feng Zhi¡¯s soft laughter came from the door. ¡°Yo, it¡¯s really lively! Second uncle, you¡¯re all here?¡± ¡°¡­¡± Second master Feng frowned and sized her up, feeling that there was something different about her. When the noisy uncles saw her, their hearts trembled and they stepped back to make way for her. Father Feng did not expect her to come back at this time. He quickly grabbed her wrist, trying to protect Feng Zhi behind him. Feng Zhi shook her head gently and patted the back of her father¡¯s hand. She walked to the front of the crowd and looked at them arrogantly. This kind of aura made the uncles avoid her gaze, feeling inexplicably guilty. ¡°Who said I was too weak just now?¡± Feng Zhi asked coldly. She took out a soft whip from her sleeve and whipped it on the ground, stirring up waves of dust. ¡°Why don¡¯t we ask the uncles to call their strongest child over and have a competition with me?¡± ¡°If I lose, Feng Zhi will pack up her things and immediately go to the slave camp!¡± ¡°But if I win, the life and death of this competition will not be held responsible! How about it? Uncles, who want to go first?¡± Feng Zhi used her thumb to wipe her thin lips, her eyes rippling with a bloodthirsty smile. In the Feng family, who did not know about Feng Zhi¡¯s formidable strength? She was someone who relied on brute force to be able to fight to a draw with a level one star. In a life and death situation, who would dare to stand up to her? Feng Zhi looked at second master Feng and said, ¡°Second uncle? isn¡¯t Feng Lan very strong? Why don¡¯t we call her over?¡± She had clearly seen the disturbance just now and it was all instigated by him. Want to take the position of the Feng family head? Second uncle¡¯s ambition was not small, but he did not even want to see if he could bear it! Feng Lan who only had the ability to awaken her fire attribute bloodline through fraud? What a joke! Second master Feng stared at Feng Zhi and did not dare to act recklessly. He reverted back to his hypocritical look and said with a chuckle. ¡°Look, why does Zhi Zhi have to be so serious? Second uncle is also doing this for your own good.¡± He would let her be arrogant for a few days first. After Feng Lan leveled up her fire bloodline, even if she had brute force, she would not be a match for her! ¡°Since you don¡¯t want to, then forget it. When the East Summer Academy opens, why don¡¯t you go with Feng Lan?¡± Second master Feng¡¯s tone suddenly changed, and he pretended to be a kind elder. ¡°But a year later, if you can¡¯t break through to the second level, the Feng family will still follow today¡¯s agreement and send you to be a slave. Do you agree?¡± A year? Everyone¡¯s expressions changed slightly. Father Feng was agitated. He pointed at him with a hoarse voice and said, ¡°You are deliberately making things difficult for the child!¡± ¡°How could she possibly¡­¡± Water-type bloodlines were not comparable to fire-type bloodlines. Not only was the upper limit of the level lower, but the speed of advancement and cultivation was also extremely slow. There were many difficulties in leveling up. Ordinary fire-type bloodlines might be able to break through within a year, but people with water-type bloodlines would not be able to advance to level 2 for three to five years! Second master Feng clearly knew that, but he still forced Feng Zhi to swear an oath. It was clear that he had no good intentions! Just as everyone was prepared to watch the show, Feng Zhi said, ¡°Alright, I agree.¡± !! For a moment, the sound of gasps came from the room. Feng Zhi raised her head. ¡°However, if I really break through to the second level, I want to compete with Feng Lan for the position of the family head. Do you dare agree?¡± Second master Feng¡¯s expression gradually turned into surprise. Was she not a little too confident? Where did this arrogant confidence come from? ¡°The old ancestor once said that whoever can open the treasure box¡­¡± ¡°The old ancestor also said that the strong are respected.¡± Feng Zhi smiled coldly. ¡°Second uncle, are you afraid? Afraid that Feng Lan will lose to me?¡± ¡°What am I afraid of!¡± Second master Feng was enraged. ¡°Alright! This oath was made by you yourself. When the time comes for you to compete with Feng Lan, you will bear the consequences of your own death. If you are accidentally killed by Feng Lan, we will not be responsible!¡± ¡°You will be responsible for your own death¡­¡± Feng Zhi tilted her head and licked her red lips. ¡°Then you must remind Feng Lan to be more careful and not lose her little life.¡± Second master Feng¡¯s face was livid. Chapter 8 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation After a farce, the crowd dispersed, and Father Feng¡¯s eyes reddened. ¡°Zhi Zhi, why did you agree to them? Even if father risked his life, he wouldn¡¯t let you become a slave! But now¡­¡± He caressed Feng Zhi in agony. Could it be that when the one-year deadline was up, he had to watch his daughter be ordered around and toyed with? ¡°Father, don¡¯t worry. I swear that I will never become a slave.¡± Feng Zhi lifted her chin and enunciated each word. ¡°Who says that my bloodline is inferior to theirs? I believe that I will trample all of them under my feet and make them apologize for all the actions they have done to you today!¡± She had this confidence. After all, what she had now was not only water-type bloodline, but also the long-lost god of destruction bloodline¡­ Father Feng sighed, but he felt proud of Feng Zhi¡¯s attitude. Recalling the rumors, he held her hand and whispered. ¡°Zhi Zhi, go to the East Summer Academy. Now, perhaps only the Academy¡¯s library can help you find a way to reverse the bloodline.¡± ¡°The Academy¡¯s library is strict, but it contains everything. There may be a way to reverse the bloodline.¡± ¡°Zhi Zhi, it¡¯s because father¡¯s strength isn¡¯t strong enough.¡± Father Feng thought of Feng Lan when she had awakened and slowly said, ¡°now that Feng Lan¡¯s fire-type bloodline is strong, if she succeeds in advancing, she will definitely come to snatch the position of the family head. Father and mother are old, and their cultivation has reached its end. If you can¡¯t become stronger, father might not be able to protect you then¡­¡± Father Feng¡¯s tone carried a hint of guilt. He had thought that he could support his daughter and make her worry free. But he had never expected that in the end, he would have to make his daughter suffer! ¡°Don¡¯t worry, the second branch will never be on top of us!¡± Feng Zhi said in a low voice. Her eyes were indifferent as she recalled the arrogant faces of those people. She secretly made up her mind. Only the strong could have the right to speak in this continent. Second Uncle relied on Feng Lan¡¯s fire-type bloodline to be able to fight for the position of the family head. What she wanted to do was to completely shatter their beautiful dreams! She would go to the East Summer Academy. Since the Academy¡¯s library was so powerful, Feng Zhi believed that she would be able to find a way to help her father achieve another breakthrough in his cultivation. This way, he would no longer have to look at the eyes of his uncles and sit firmly in the position of family head of the Feng family! ¡­ In the bamboo forest, a gentle breeze blew past, making rustling sounds. Feng Zhi sat cross-legged in the room, holding her fingers, closing her eyes and cultivating. There was no movement from the god of destruction bloodline at all. The demon dragon seemed to be hibernating, and no matter how much it called out, there was no response. She might as well concentrate on channeling her qi, wanting to take advantage of the time when the spiritual energy was more abundant to stabilize the water-type bloodline. About four minutes later, Feng Zhi suddenly felt a chill in her qi center. She focused her mind, and her fingers flew around.. Water-type crystals continued to condense in her body, and even her eyelashes and fingers were covered in layers of frost. However, Feng Zhi did not feel any chill at all. Instead, her entire body felt comfortable, as if there was a powerful spiritual energy that did not belong to her flowing in her body. That spiritual energy seemed to be a consciousness, opening up her veins and then injecting it into the water-type spirit core. Feng Zhi frowned, and her body began to ache. She subconsciously activated her bloodline¡­ Pah! A cold light appeared in the room! The frost on Feng Zhi¡¯s body melted and evaporated. She stretched her body and found that her water-type bloodline had broken through? The blue ball of light that was emitting warmth was slowly rotating, and a stream of spiritual energy surrounded it, nourishing it. Level one, one star! Even Feng Zhi was very surprised. She had never thought that her water-type bloodline could level up so quickly. In the mysterious Sky Continent, there was a power system of its own. Water-type bloodlines were the weakest, and could only level up to level three. Wood, earth, and metal were the medium, and could level up to level six. Fire-type bloodlines were the strongest, and could level up to level nine. And each level was divided into nine stars. This was why water-type bloodlines were greatly despised. Because water-type bloodlines could only level up to 27 stars at most, but fire-type bloodlines could level up to 81 stars! The difference in strength between them was like a natural chasm¡­ What was even more terrifying was that water-type bloodlines were upgraded extremely slowly. There were even many slaves who would never be able to break through to level one and one star in their entire lives. But Feng Zhi had actually broken through in one night¡­ ¡°Why?¡± Feng Zhi looked at the spiritual energy that did not belong to her and suddenly thought of the strange man in the cave. Her expression became complicated for a moment. Could it be that it was left behind when he had sex with her? Such powerful spiritual energy¡­ who was that man? ¡°¡­¡± Feng Zhi shook her head and tried to throw the thoughts away. Not long after, she muttered softly, ¡°he has helped so much. It seems that the gold coins given to him are a little too little¡­¡± Chapter 9 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The next day, Feng Zhi deliberately changed into a lake-blue dress and held a walking pin in her hand. She planned to stroll around the city and buy some small toys to relieve her boredom. Perhaps it was because of the advancement of her water-type bloodline, she did not feel tired even after sleeping for a few hours. Instead, she was in a very good mental state! Anyway, the second branch had made an oath with her that they would not come to provoke her again in the near future. She informed her father and left the mansion and went straight to the nearest market. ¡°Come and have a look, come and have a look! There are only things that you can¡¯t imagine, there¡¯s nothing that I don¡¯t sell here!¡± The hawkers¡¯ shout were incessant, and the business was quite good. This street was called the Ghost Market. It was said that here, there were people who had discerned the goods and found rare treasures, and there were also people who had spent all their wealth to buy a few pieces of scrap metal and scrap stones. It really tested one¡¯s eyesight! ¡°Isn¡¯t that the young miss of the Feng Clan?¡± ¡°Yes! It¡¯s her¡­ why is she here? I heard that she has awakened the weakest water bloodline, it¡¯s too embarrassing!¡± ¡°If it were me, I would definitely hide at home and not dare to come out! Who knows, I might be captured one day and become a slave!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! What¡¯s the use of being beautiful? Isn¡¯t she still inferior to her family¡¯s second young miss? What a waste!¡± The surrounding people seemed to recognize her identity, but their discussions were not restrained at all. Their voices were loud and clear, and Feng Zhi thought that they were just singing an opera! She was not angry. Arguing with this group of people who only knew how to gossip and belittle others to get satisfaction was really degrading her status! After bypassing a few stalls selling crystals, Feng Zhi¡¯s attention was attracted by a middle-aged man¡¯s stall. The man was fanning himself, leaning against the wall with his eyes closed. A few seemingly old books were thrown out in front of him. Some of them were covered in thick dust, and it was hard to see what the handwriting was. Feng Zhi stopped in her tracks, squatted down, and pulled at the pile of books. ¡°Miss, five gold coins for one book. No credit, no bargaining!¡± The man heard the footsteps and opened his mouth to speak, but his eyes were still closed. Feng Zhi found it interesting and asked, ¡°does the stall owner have a skill that can be cultivated with the water bloodline?¡± ¡°A healing skill? It¡¯s all here¡­¡± The stall owner suddenly opened his eyes and looked at Feng Zhi with some interest. He used his fan to push the two tattered books to her. ¡°Miss, you don¡¯t have to be sad. If it really doesn¡¯t work out, you can just set up a stall in the future and make a living.¡± Feng Zhi laughed lightly. It seemed that her story had spread throughout the entire city! Thinking about it, she had already become the laughingstock of everyone. People couldn¡¯t wait to see her fall from the altar. In their dreams! Throwing aside the boring healing techniques, Feng Zhi suddenly saw a book that was buried under the ground. A corner was revealed and she pulled it out. This book seemed to have been placed there for many years. When the wind blew twice, the yellowed and thin pages looked as if they were about to shatter. ¡°Stall owner, I want this book.¡± Feng Zhi¡¯s eyes lit up as she looked at the tattered book that was pulled out from the corner. On the cover, there were a few big words, ¡°freezing technique!¡± ¡°?¡± The stall owner narrowed his eyes and leaned forward slightly. He asked, ¡°Miss Feng, since you have a water bloodline, you have to accept your fate and learn healing skills. In the future, your life as a slave will at least be a little easier. If you choose to use an attack skill, you can¡¯t change it!¡± The surrounding commoners were filled with ridicule and shock, saying that her mind was not clear. Choosing a skill was an extremely prudent thing to do. Every skill had a maximum level of 9, and for every star in the level, only one skill point could be obtained! As for Feng Zhi, she could only obtain a maximum of 27 skill points, so she had to be even more cautious. The initial damage of the frost skill was small, and the range of use was even smaller. Once she chose, she would be no different from a cripple, and she would only be beaten up! Could it be that the young miss of the Feng family was going to give up and only rely on brute force to fight against Feng Lan? All sorts of speculations did not waver Feng Zhi¡¯s choice. She readily took out five gold coins, threw them to the stall owner, and stood up. ¡°My life is in my own hands. Compared to being passive, I prefer the thrill of attacking!¡± ¡°Thank you for your good intentions!¡± She tilted her head slightly, and her gaze swept over the people around her. After everyone uncomfortably shifted their gazes away, she put away the book and continued to stroll around¡­ The stall owner stared at her back and picked up a few gold coins. The corners of his lips curled up into a faint smile. ¡°Young miss Feng, if you don¡¯t have a water bloodline, you are indeed a talent.¡± His voice soon drifted in the wind. Feng Zhi walked past a stall selling jewelry and could not help but stop in her tracks. ¡°Young lady, you have good eyesight! This butterfly hairpin has just arrived. This craftsmanship, this gemstone! Wearing it can even give you a skill boost! How rare!¡± The stall owner quickly started to brag. Feng Zhi was a little moved. She remembered that her mother liked butterfly designs the most. If she bought it as a gift for her, she would definitely be very happy! These few days, due to her matters, mother Feng was in a low mood. She should be coaxing her to be happy! ¡°This¡­¡± ¡°I want it!¡± She was just about to speak when she saw the butterfly hairpin being snatched away in front of her eyes. An arrogant voice sounded in her ears. Chapter 10 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Feng Zhi raised her head. A young girl held the butterfly hairpin in her hand in a deliberately provocative manner, casually weighing and playing with it¡­ ¡°Sister, you¡¯re here too?¡± Feng Lan walked slowly over from Gu Qinglian¡¯s side, gently holding her arm as if they were intimate. ¡°Let me introduce you. This is brother Gu Yi¡¯s biological sister, Gu Qinglian.¡± Feng Zhi furrowed her brows. She felt a little unlucky. She did not expect Feng Lan to hook up with Gu Yi¡¯s sister so quickly. It was too obvious that she wanted to use this opportunity to curry favor with Gu Yi. Feng Zhi suppressed her temper and said to Gu Qinglian, ¡°I told the stall owner that I liked the butterfly hairpin first. If you like it, you can buy other ones.¡± Gu Qinglian shrugged and fiddled with the tassel pendant of the hairpin, making a clanging sound. She did not want the hairpin at all. The Gu family had too many of such broken things. But what Feng Zhi wanted, Gu Qinglian had to snatch it! ¡°Aiyo, what should I do then? I was the one who got this thing first. The stall owner is not selling it to me, so I might as well smash it and pay for it!¡± Gu Qinglian could see that Feng Zhi liked the hairpin very much, so she was picking on her in every way possible. She just didn¡¯t want her to be happy! Ever since she was young, the elders of the Gu family had been bragging about Feng Zhi, saying how talented she was and how powerful she was! Gu Qinglian was always compared to her, but he had always been a loser. In fact, her elder brother even wanted to marry Feng Zhi! She had a deep resentment in her heart, and her hatred for Feng Zhi was deep in her bones! ¡°Yes, if sister likes it, why don¡¯t you look at other things that are suitable for you¡­¡± ¡°This jade hairpin looks good to me. It suits sister¡¯s water-type bloodline and can protect you!¡± Feng Lan¡¯s tone was sharp and she emphasized the words ¡®water-type bloodline¡¯. Then, she looked at Gu Qinglian in a flattering manner. ¡°Sister Qinglian, why don¡¯t I buy this hairpin and give it to you?¡± Feng Zhi sneered. The two of them seemed to hit it off. They were both the same people who liked to bully others but could not see their own abilities clearly! ¡°Since you like it, I¡¯ll give this hairpin to you.¡± ¡°However, don¡¯t you guys feel disgusted that you keep taking things that others don¡¯t want?¡± She pursed her thin lips and smiled faintly as she looked at Feng Lan. ¡°You went shopping with Gu Qinglian. You were playing with her and giving her gifts. Do you have enough gold coins?¡± Feng Zhi looked at Feng Lan¡¯s money bag lightly. ¡°I advise you not to use the Feng family¡¯s money to please her.¡± ¡°Let¡¯s not talk about whether you will be able to marry into the Gu family successfully in the future. Let¡¯s just say that the Feng family has a record of every amount of money that you have misappropriated¡­¡± ¡°When the time comes, the Feng family will ask you to cough up the money. If you can¡¯t afford to pay for it, that would be embarrassing!¡± ¡°Think about it, will Gu Qinglian help you fork out the money? I don¡¯t think so. After all, she doesn¡¯t have much say in the Gu family¡­¡± As Feng Zhi spoke on the street, she attracted the attention of the surrounding people. They were munching on watermelons and pointing at Feng Lan. Feng Lan suddenly felt guilty. This b*tch! She did not want to buy the hairpin anymore. She secretly tugged on Gu Qinglian¡¯s sleeve and wanted to leave as soon as possible. However, Gu Qinglian was easily angered. At this moment, she could not care less about her face. He pointed at Feng Zhi and said through gritted teeth. ¡°Don¡¯t be too pleased with yourself!¡± ¡°Right now, you are the only daughter of the Feng family head. But don¡¯t forget, you only have a water bloodline!¡± ¡°Feng Lan has a fire bloodline! When she goes to the academy and finishes her studies, she will definitely become the next head of the Feng family!¡± ¡°When that time comes, everything in the Feng family will belong to Feng Lan. Why don¡¯t you take this opportunity to pack up your things and go to the slave camp to get used to it first!¡± Gu Qinglian told Feng Lan what was on her mind. Feng Lan quickly lowered her head and frowned. She blamed Gu Qinglian for being irrational. The words she said today would inevitably lead others to say that the second branch was ambitious! Now, she was staring at the position of the family head! ¡°Oh? Your Gu family wants to marry Feng Lan and get everything in the Feng family?¡± Feng Zhi deliberately distorted gu Qinglian¡¯s meaning and said loudly. She saw Gu Qinglian¡¯s face turn red and coldly lifted the corners of her lips. She said word by word, ¡°you wish.¡± ¡°Then I¡¯ll be waiting to meet you in the Academy.¡± ¡°Don¡¯t let me down. If you can¡¯t beat me and word gets out, you¡¯ll lose more face than me¡­¡± Feng Zhi patted Feng Lan¡¯s shoulder lightly and used the spiritual power in her body slightly. Feng Lan felt a wave of pressure, and her legs went weak and she staggered. She leaned against Gu Qinglian and barely managed to keep her balance. She stared at Feng Zhi¡¯s back and gritted her teeth secretly. She¡­ why was she so strong? She was obviously only of the water element! It was impossible! Feng Lan¡¯s state of mind gradually distorted. She had spent a lot of effort using the fire essence crystal to turn her fate around. She could not lower herself to Feng Zhi anymore! Chapter 11 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Late at night, the dark clouds covered the full moon. Feng Zhi sat cross-legged, a few strands of hair floating in the air. She quickly formed a hand seal and closed her palm. Suddenly opening her eyes, she pointed at the empty space in the distance. A few rays of cold light shot out from her fingertips, carrying sharp ice blades as they shot out¡­ Puff. With a muffled sound, the coldness was extinguished. Feng Zhi frowned, a hint of dejection flashed through her face. According to the key technique of the freezing technique, she had cultivated to level one, but the longest range she could reach was only half an arm¡¯s length. It was as wide as a frozen teacup. As expected, the water-type bloodline was as weak as the legends said. Feng Zhi clenched her fists and smashed the bedboard hard, gritting her teeth! She suddenly recalled the demon dragon¡¯s words. She focused her mind and hid in her body to spy on the light ball of the god of destruction bloodline. However, no matter how Feng Zhi cultivated, destroyed, or even attacked, the light ball did not have any reaction. Could that broken dragon be a liar? Feng Zhi thought to herself. Hurry up and wake up¡­ ¡­ In the Feng residence, the school term was about to start. ¡°Zhi Zhi, this is the interspatial ring I prepared for you. There are some things that the Academy needs inside. Your mother has helped to pack them up.¡± Father Feng passed the two wooden boxes to Feng Zhi, his eyes filled with love and gentleness as he stared at her. This ring was made of runyu, which was a special type of jade, and its attribute was water. It was a treasure that Father Feng had obtained after searching through the entire market. The inherent impression of a water-type bloodline was weak. It seemed that father had tried his best to find external items to help her strengthen it. ¡°This bottle of medicine can help you break through to level 6 of the water-type bloodline, just like metal, wood, and earth¡­¡± ¡°In this way, you won¡¯t be bullied by others in the academy, but father can only help you so far¡­¡± Father Feng frowned, unable to hide his worry. Feng Zhi picked up the potion bottle and examined it carefully. The faint purple liquid that was glowing was emitting a faint energy. It could help you break through the water element? This potion was really rare! This was probably an advancement treasure that only large sects could possess! Where did father get it from? Feng Zhi opened her mouth to ask, but father Feng interrupted her and stuffed the money bag into her hands. ¡°Take these gold coins with you on the way.¡± Feng Zhi felt the heavy weight and wanted to reject it, but when she looked up, she saw the worried wrinkles between father Feng¡¯s brows. She could only nod heavily and keep it in her arms. ¡°Father, don¡¯t worry. I will definitely fight for a place in the world, and I will definitely not embarrass you!¡± ¡°No one will be able to snatch the patriarch of the Feng family away from you!¡± She swore an oath, but Father Feng shook his head, raised his hand, and sighed as he caressed the top of her head. ¡°As long as Zhi Zhi is safe, none of this matters!¡± Feng Zhi did not speak anymore, but her eyes shone with determination. Before she left, Feng Zhi went to the study to bid farewell to her parents. She was far away, but she heard a conversation, and she slowed down her footsteps. ¡°Other than the money we have in hand, we don¡¯t have any money left in the house¡­¡± Feng Zhi¡¯s mother calculated the accounts and said softly. She got up and took out a few hairpins from the dressing cabinet and placed them in front of Father Feng. ¡°Find a day to go to the pawnshop and exchange these things for some gold coins. After all, you have to have some emergency money¡­¡± ¡°This is your dowry. How can I use it!¡± Father Feng was exhausted and refused in a haggard manner. ¡°Even if I were to go out to fight in the arena, I will not let you suffer!¡± He promised with a hint of struggle in his voice. However, mother Feng held his hand and tried to persuade him. ¡°Now that Zhizhi is going to the academy, there are a lot of things that require money. How can I let you shoulder all the heavy responsibilities? I saw you secretly promise the Chongxiao sect to work for them and only then did you ask for the medicine on Zhizhi¡¯s behalf.¡± ¡°Can you let me contribute as well?¡± ¡°These are all inanimate objects. If I pawn them, I might be able to return one day.¡± ¡°But you and Zhi Zhi are my closest relatives. You two are my fate. I can not watch you suffer¡­¡± Mother Feng choked on her words. Feng Zhi¡¯s eyes were bloodshot as she clenched her fists. She gritted her teeth and hid in a corner. She did not expect that the awakening of her water-elemental bloodline would bring about such a change in the family! Become stronger! Her eyes were determined and hot. The only thing in her mind was the thought of dominating the mysterious Sky Continent! She wanted everyone to submit to her so that her parents would not have to worry about her and be afraid every day! Feng Zhi did not want her parents to see her red-eyed appearance. She returned to her residence, pulled out two pieces of letter paper, smoothed it out, filled it up with ink, and wrote a few words. Looking around the house, she simply packed up a few pieces of clothes and put the money bag filled with gold coins beside the letter. She took out the butterfly hairpin from her sleeve and placed it neatly. She took a deep look at it and left without looking back. The sky was just beginning to brighten. A carriage left the Feng residence. The figure of a servant boy was slightly frail as he raised his whip. Feng Zhi sat in the carriage. As the carriage swayed, her heart became calmer and calmer. She knew what she was going to do! Chapter 12 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation At the inn. Feng Zhi had traveled for a whole day and was resting here. ¡°Two taels of warm wine.¡± She pulled the bench and greeted the waiter. As soon as she said that, mocking laughter came from behind her. Feng Zhi turned her head. Gu Qinglian and Feng Lan walked up to her with their arms crossed. They were surrounded by countless servants. ¡°Move all the things to the second floor. Tell the shopkeeper to open another room to store the things.¡± Gu Qinglian raised an eyebrow and deliberately sat opposite Feng Zhi. The servants wiped the gold cups and ivory chopsticks clean and placed them in front of her. That posture made her look like a pampered princess. Feng Zhi could not be bothered to waste her breath on them. However, Gu Qinglian wanted to make things difficult for her. She pretended to raise her head in surprise. ¡°Isn¡¯t this the young miss of the Feng Family?¡± ¡°Why are you here by yourself? Are you only drinking two taels of wine? There aren¡¯t even any dishes to go with the wine!¡± ¡°Where are the maids and servants by your side? Don¡¯t tell me you¡¯re going to the Academy by yourself? You don¡¯t even have anyone to serve you!¡± ¡°In any case, you¡¯re still the daughter of the patriarch of the Feng family now. You shouldn¡¯t be so pitiful, right?¡± ¡°Could it be that you¡¯ve awakened your water bloodline and are too high-profile to be laughed at by others?¡± Gu Qinglian said noisily. The surrounding diners were also looking sideways at Feng Zhi. They had come from different places, and some of them had never heard of her. After being explained, it didn¡¯t take long for their gazes to turn into pity and sadness. Feng Zhi¡¯s eyes darkened, and then the corners of her lips curled up. ¡°I was wondering who it was. So it¡¯s the precious jewel of the Gu family!¡± ¡°The family rules of the Feng family are humble and reserved, unlike you, who likes to be high-profile and loyal. I heard that in the city, as long as the Gu family¡¯s young miss appears, the people will be blessed. They don¡¯t even have to pay for their own food, drinks, and entertainment. I wonder if this rumor is true?¡± Feng Zhi deliberately spoke loudly, and the surrounding diners with knives began to jeer. He whistled and shouted at Gu Qinglian. ¡°What? Are you lucky enough to have a glass of wine from the Gu family¡¯s young miss today?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! If even the common people can bask in your glory and eat and drink for free, surely we can too, right? Or does miss Gu look down on us?¡± Feng Zhi had achieved her goal. Seeing Gu Qinglian¡¯s livid face, she curled her lips and said silently. ¡°You¡¯re welcome! It¡¯s what I ought to do.¡± ¡°You!¡± Gu Qinglian¡¯s face was flushed red. She could not lose the Gu family¡¯s face while she was outside. She could only endure her anger and said with a smile, ¡°since fate has brought us together, I¡¯ll naturally put all of your debts on Qinglian!¡± ¡°Good! Miss Gu is straightforward. Shopkeeper, bring me two jars of good wine!¡± the customers said boldly. Gu Qinglian looked around and estimated that he would have to spend several hundred gold coins! This loss was all because of Feng Zhi! ¡°Miss Gu, eat well and drink well.¡± Feng Zhi returned to her room with two taels of warm wine in her hand and laughed loudly as she patted the bed. ¡­ It was night. Behind the inn was a forest. The spiritual energy was abundant and it was most suitable for cultivation. Feng Zhi breathed slowly and only poured all of her spiritual energy into her qi center. However, no matter what, the spirit core of the god of destruction bloodline was like stagnant water and showed no signs of leveling up. She was a little impatient. Countless light spots floated around her body and surged into the light ball at the same time. However, almost in an instant, the light ball dimmed again after it absorbed the spiritual power. Instead, a voice came out from her mind. ¡°You little girl, what¡¯s the hurry?¡± The demon dragon¡¯s dark and hoarse voice carried some vitality and seemed to have recovered well. Feng Zhi frowned and asked impatiently, ¡°you made a deal with me for a year. What are you doing now? Just letting you live here?¡± ¡°The god of destruction bloodline can only be upgraded by using the Philosopher¡¯s Stone. You have to find it slowly!¡± The demon dragon said with a guilty smile. Feng Zhi was instantly enraged. ¡°Why didn¡¯t you tell me in advance!¡± If she had known in advance that there was such a troublesome matter, she would have found another way to cultivate even if she had to use all her strength. She would not have agreed to this evil dragon! ¡°Oh, did I forget!¡± The demon dragon said embarrassedly, and his aura weakened a little. Heh, tell her in advance? How could this girl accept it if I had said it earlier! As the demon dragon said this, he suddenly focused. ¡°Shh! I can sense that there is a fellow in the forest who is seriously injured!¡± ¡°He has something good on him. If you go over and pick it up, you might be able to find a treasure?¡± ¡°If he has a noble identity and you saved his life during a crisis, he might be able to help you find the Philosopher¡¯s Stone!¡± The demon dragon suggested excitedly. Feng Zhi chuckled coldly. ¡°How can I trust you?¡± ¡°¡­¡± The demon dragon was in the wrong, so it could only shut up. Feng Zhi sat in front of the window and looked at the forest outside. She narrowed her eyes. ¡°Forget it, let¡¯s go and take a look.¡± ¡°If you lie to me again, I¡¯ll definitely beat you to death!¡± She threatened fiercely. Feng Zhi changed into her nightclothes and followed the demon dragon¡¯s guidance. She quickly ran into the depths of the forest. From a distance, she could smell the scent of blood. ¡°Oh, a demon beast with such strong attributes?¡± She walked closer and kicked the purple demon beast that stuck out its tongue as she said. She looked into the distance and saw a tall figure dressed in white leaning against a tree stump. There were two pools of blood on his chest. Chapter 13 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Feng Zhi came closer and muttered, ¡°are you dead?¡± ¡°Then I¡¯m sorry. I¡¯ll pick up some good stuff and bury you!¡± Just as Feng Zhi reached out her hand, the man opened his eyes abruptly. Their eyes met, and a memory appeared in his mind at the same time. That pair of eyes that were as dark as the night¡­ ¡°¡­It¡¯s you?¡± ¡°Little girl?¡± Chu Yao coughed twice, and a long, blood-stained hand reached out. Feng Zhi jumped out two steps and patted her nightgown. ¡°At least I saved your life. Do you have anything good? Pay up first, then treat your illness!¡± She put on a show of settling accounts, and Chu Yao found it interesting. He chuckled and frowned as he covered his chest. ¡°We have to settle the score between the two of us, right?¡± ¡°That day, your bloodline went berserk and you lost your mind. I took it very seriously and calmed your bloodline. Shouldn¡¯t you repay me?¡± Chu Yao¡¯s face was handsome and his tone was mischievous, but it did not make people annoyed. Feng Zhi¡¯s ears turned red. This bastard! He took advantage of her, and he still dared to bring it up? ¡°I paid for it!¡± ¡°Three gold coins and six copper coins?¡± Chu Yao remembered it clearly. He even took out the blood-stained copper coins from his pocket and asked, ¡°am I that worthless?¡± ¡°¡­¡± How could he be so calculative! Feng Zhi turned around and wanted to leave, but Chu Yao spoke slowly, ¡°I have a bottle of body tempering spirit medicine here. Perhaps you can use it.¡± ¡°In exchange, will it be enough for you to save my life?¡± Feng Zhi weighed it and high-fived him. She narrowed her eyes and said, ¡°deal!¡± The light in her eyes flickered, and she seemed exceptionally intelligent. Chu Yao coughed softly and handed the medicine to her. The little girl was really repaying kindness with enmity. If it was not for the fact that he had shed so much blood to save her, how could he be so weak that he could not even defeat a demon beast of this level? In the next second, Chu Yao closed his eyes and fainted, pressing down on Feng Zhi¡¯s body. Feng Zhi struggled to hold onto Chu Yao¡¯s arm and carried him on her body, muttering. ¡°So heavy! I should have extorted another sum just now to get the gold coins back!¡± ¡°You¡­ Profiteer! Such a good-looking little brother, how good would it be to bring him back home as a sex servant?¡± The demon dragon said with a lecherous look. Feng Zhi cursed in a low voice, ¡°shut up!¡± ¡°To be honest, his spiritual energy is pure. If he can dual cultivate with you¡­ he will definitely be able to advance very quickly. Don¡¯t you want to become stronger?¡± The demon dragon continued to entice her. At the same time, Chu Yao¡¯s scorching hot breath sprayed onto Feng Zhi¡¯s neck, causing her to be a little flustered. Thinking about what happened that day, she wished that she could just throw this guy here and leave him be! But after all, she had taken money from him, so she had to do something. She took two steps forward and heard a rustling sound behind her. She stole a glance from the corner of her eye. The demon beast that was lying in a pool of blood just now actually stood up shakily, revealing its sharp teeth as it slowly approached. ¡°What? This fellow isn¡¯t dead yet?!¡± Feng Zhi¡¯s heart skipped a beat. She took the opportunity and directly threw Chu Yao into a clear area. Then, she took out a soft whip and wrapped it around the demon beast¡¯s neck. Tighten! The demon beast had just been beaten up by Chu Yao. It was on the verge of death, but now, it exploded with a huge amount of energy. Roar! It roared and threw Feng Zhi off! It raised its claws and kept stepping on her, looking like it was going to stomp her to death! ¡°Hey! Stinky dragon, Can you help me?¡± Feng Zhi could not handle it and jumped to dodge it. The demon dragon did not expect this and shouted nervously, ¡°left side! Aiya, right side¡­ above your head!¡± ¡°Sigh, I¡¯m just a wisp of consciousness now. How can I help you? You can rely on yourself!¡± It had been thousands of years. It had finally found a good seedling. she would not die here, would she? Feng Zhi cursed in a low voice. At the critical moment, the only one she could rely on was herself! ¡°You¡¯re courting death!¡± Feng Zhi used the freezing spell to freeze the demon beast¡¯s eyes for a moment, but it infuriated it. It roared, and its entire body emitted a huge shock wave. Feng Zhi was shaken to the point that she was a little flustered. Forget it! She was going to die either way! She gritted her teeth and poured all the spiritual energy in her body into the god of destruction bloodline¡¯s light sphere. Then, she used all her strength and slapped the demon beast! Almost in an instant, the god of destruction¡¯s spirit core exploded with bolts of lightning and balls of Fire! Feng Zhi¡¯s eyes turned scarlet. She drew out a dark red sword made of energy from her fingertip and slashed at the demonic beast! Crack! A terrifying sound was heard. The demon beast howled in pain and split into two. Feng Zhi kneeled on the ground weakly and wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth. She looked at the fire-type magical beast essence crystals and a skill book that had fallen from the demon beast¡¯s body. She picked them up and put them in her pocket. She found that her water element bloodline had advanced another level during the fight, reaching level one and two stars! It was not bad, not bad at all. ¡°Damn, you little girl, you are really a rare genius in a hundred years!¡± The demon dragon did not expect that she could actually activate the power of the god of destruction bloodline without a teacher. It exclaimed in surprise. It had never seen anyone who could unleash such great power before the god of destruction bloodline had advanced¡­ Chapter 14 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation In the inn, Feng Zhi was treating Chu Yao¡¯s wounds with slight disdain. He was leaning against the bed railing, his face pale, but his thin lips were stained with dark red blood, which only added to his sickly beauty and made others pity him. ¡°Carrying him for several miles, it¡¯s not too much to charge some extra fees later, right?¡± Feng Zhi raised her eyebrows, silently calculating in her heart, and said in a low voice, ¡°the nightgown is stained with his blood, I have to pay! Two gold coins!¡± ¡°¡­¡± Chu Yao regained his consciousness and could not help but cough lightly when he heard such an exaggerated price. Feng Zhi narrowed her eyes and turned her head to stare at him. Chu Yao supported himself and sat up. He surveyed his surroundings and his gaze returned to Feng Zhi. The corners of his lips curled up as he said with a smile, ¡°little girl, as expected of the god of destruction¡¯s bloodline. You still have the mood to settle accounts after experiencing a great battle?¡± ¡°I¡¯ll help you create an opportunity to fight against demon beasts and advance explosively. Can¡¯t that settle the score?¡± He lowered his head and teased her lightly. However, every word he said caused the air to freeze. Feng Zhi, on the other hand, was instantly on guard. With Luck, the freezing spell turned into a sharp blade in her palm. ¡°You can tell?¡± Her voice was laced with killing intent. The god of destruction¡¯s bloodline had been lost for a long time. Before breaking through to the next level, she must not reveal it. Otherwise, she would attract countless ambitious people who wanted to destroy the divine bloodline! The man in front of her must not be left alive! Feng Zhi¡¯s footsteps moved slightly. Before she revealed her killer move, she met Chu Yao¡¯s suddenly raised eyes. She was stunned for half a second. ¡°Are you sure you want to kill me?¡± ¡°The god of destruction bloodline. Every time the fifteenth moon is full, it will go against the current. Just like that day in the cave¡­¡± ¡°Little girl, other than me, no one can help you calm down the bloodline in your body. Are you sure you want to kill me?¡± Chu Yao was quite calm. He even had a frivolous look on his face, and his tone seemed to carry a hint of ambiguity. Feng Zhi thought of what happened that day, and her cheeks turned pink. However, she frowned and cursed in a low voice. ¡°You can even say such things. You really have the nature of a hooligan. You don¡¯t know shame!¡± ¡°?¡± Chu Yao looked down at the bloody mark on his palm, shrugged, and chuckled. The little girl seemed to be thinking about something else, but this did not seem too bad. ¡°What he said, is it true?¡± Feng Zhi whispered to the demon dragon in her heart. The demon dragon coughed twice and pretended to be serious. ¡°As long as there¡¯s a strong bloodline, there will be something unusual¡­ about it!¡± ¡°What else are you hiding from me?¡± Feng Zhi flew into a rage. She felt that this evil dragon definitely had more than one hole in it! However, the demon dragon saw that the situation was not good and went into hiding. No matter how much she questioned it, it did not reply. Feng Zhi was helpless. She looked at Chu Yao. His skin was one of the best looking. His features were like a painting, his shoulders were wide, and his waist was narrow. He was strong and powerful¡­ Since there had been skin contact in the cave, why not use him as an antidote? She would not be at a disadvantage even if he used him! Feeling the change in the emotions in her eyes, Chu Yao tightened his clothes and raised his hand, pretending to be dignified. Feng Zhi bit her fingertip and drew a talisman that emitted golden light out of thin air. She looked at Chu Yao. ¡°In that case, sign a blood contract with me!¡± ¡°As long as you betray me, you will die suddenly and die with me! How about it?¡± As long as he dared, their fates would be linked together. Neither side could break the agreement! Chu Yao did not hesitate. He wiped his palm with his fingertip and dripped the blood into the talisman. A huge golden light burst out. The agreement was completed. ¡°Keep this tile.¡± He took out a token from his pocket and explained, ¡°as long as you drop the blood into it, you can contact me. On the 15th of this month, I will come to look for you.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Feng Zhi weighed the token in her hand. This was a rare item! Chu Yao took the opportunity when she was not paying attention and flipped over to open the window. Feng Zhi was shocked. She wanted to open her mouth to remind him that he had not recovered from his serious injuries and that he should recuperate properly. It was not easy for him to move around casually¡­ Chu Yao guessed what she wanted to say and winked at her. ¡°If I will stay here, and someone finds out, it will not be good for you.¡± ¡°Our relationship¡­ Shh, it¡¯s a secret!¡± After he finished his ambiguous words, he let go and his figure instantly disappeared from the window. Feng Zhi was shocked and chased after him, but she did not see his figure. She thought to herself, just what kind of strength does he have? ¡°Spiritual energy is abundant at the moment. Hurry up and temper your body!¡± The demon dragon pulled her out of her thoughts. Feng Zhi took the spiritual medicine and said fiercely, ¡°do I need you to teach me how to do things?¡± ¡°¡­¡± The demon dragon was defeated and could not afford to provoke her. It went into hiding again. The body tempering spirit medicine flowed through Feng Zhi¡¯s blood vessels and helped her expel the foul aura from her body. Her physical speed and strength were also enhanced! Taking advantage of the situation, Feng Zhi took out the freezing technique. She bent her fingers and pointed at the gecko hanging on the wall ten steps away. Pah¡­ Two balls of cold air enveloped the gecko. Then, an icicle pierced through its body and broke into countless pieces¡­ Feng Zhi wiped the sweat from between her brows and curled the corners of her lips. Her freezing spell had been upgraded to level two! Chapter 15 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation A few days later, Feng Zhi arrived at the East Summer Academy. East Summer Academy was the largest academy in East Lin Country, occupying one-fifth of the entire area of Wanshou Town. The school gate was grand and imposing, and behind it were magnificent buildings that stretched as far as the eye could see, making one submit with just a glance. All the new students from the various clans arrived on time and gathered, waiting for the allocation of dormitories. Feng Zhi leaned against the willow tree and sneered as she watched her teacher fawning over Gu Qinglian and Feng Lan. This sneer made the teacher turn around. When he saw her, his eyes instantly filled with disdain. ¡°Feng family, Feng Zhi?¡± ¡°You and Ye Meng will live in that house. Just move the things over.¡± He flipped through the name list and purposely used his fingertips to swipe to the end of the list to remind her. Ye Meng was the second-to-last weakling among the current batch of new students. Assigning them to a dormitory was obviously not out of good intentions! There were waves of laughter around her. They covered their mouths and pointed at Feng Zhi, but she did not care. She knew what her purpose in coming to East Summer Academy was¡­ To become stronger! Not to compete with these idiots! Carrying her luggage, she pushed open the door and entered. She saw Ye Meng tidying up the bed. It was a cute little girl with two braids. Seeing Feng Zhi, she ran over-enthusiastically and helped Feng Zhi pack up her things. The first time they met, they were like old friends. ¡°Hello, Feng Zhi, I know you. I¡¯m Ye Meng, second to last!¡± ¡°Although our grades are the worst in the whole grade, but¡­ Don¡¯t lose heart!¡± ¡°The stupid bird flies first. This shows that we have a lot of room for improvement!¡± ¡°Besides, I have very powerful friends who can protect us!¡± Ye Meng said mysteriously, she was optimistic. Feng Zhi looked at her busy back and thanked her softly. She hung a few pieces of clothes in the wardrobe¡­ ¡°These are wild fruits that I brought from home. They are very sweet. Try them!¡± Ye Meng took out two red fruits and handed them to Feng Zhi. Her eyes curved like crescent moons as she smiled sweetly. Feng Zhi was not used to her enthusiasm so she took them. ¡°Are you worried about the test in a month? Don¡¯t worry, I have a method!¡± Ye Meng winked her eyes and whispered, ¡°they will definitely not let us be eliminated!¡± Could she be talking about cheating? Feng Zhi frowned. East Summer Academy had its own system and enchantment. Ye Meng¡¯s plan was probably going to fail, right? ¡­ The next day, in the Academy. Feng Zhi and Ye Meng came together. As soon as they stepped in, they heard many hostile discussions. She did not mind. She picked a spot by the window, took out her book, and looked at the bamboo forest in the distance¡­ She remembered that night. How was Chu Yao Now? This thought suddenly popped up in her mind. Feng Zhi frowned slightly. She saw Ye Meng beside her clenching her fists in anger and was a little puzzled. ¡°How can they say such vicious things about you!¡± Ye Meng was angry for her. Feng Zhi only heard the young women from the two sects on Gu Qinglian¡¯s left discussing the Feng family in a loud voice at this moment. ¡°It is said that the patriarch of the Feng family, the husband and wife, both have strong bloodlines. They relied on the ability as a powerhouse to secure their position as the Patriarch!¡± ¡°Why is Feng Zhi so weak? She even awakened a water-type bloodline!¡± ¡°I¡¯m afraid that the wild child picked up from the outside is not the biological child of the patriarch of the Feng family, right?¡± Their eyes were vicious, and they deliberately provoked Feng Zhi as they raised their eyebrows and said. Feng Zhi listened quietly and did not move. The group of new students thought that she knew her abilities were weak and did not dare to fight back, so they went even further and leaned against each other with a smile¡­ ¡°Not really! Let¡¯s just say that the Feng family head and his wife went into seclusion after that legendary battle!¡± ¡°All these years, they did not participate in any disputes. They said that they were powerful, but who has seen it with their own eyes?¡± ¡°Perhaps, they are making up their own lies, they are simply weaklings! The so-called strength is all made up! Otherwise, how could their only daughter have a water bloodline? Hahaha¡­¡± Feng Zhi¡¯s eyes narrowed slightly, she was enraged. Questioning and mocking her, she could pretend that she did not hear it! But this was a matter of her parents, she would not allow anyone to speak nonsense! Feng Zhi closed the book, turned her body sideways, and looked back. With just one look, the few people who were discussing fervently immediately shut up. Because of her oppressive aura, they did not dare to make a sound. However, in the last row, a man in the corner stood up and looked at Feng Zhi. ¡°What? It¡¯s a reasonable guess. You¡¯re not allowing anyone to tell the truth?¡± ¡°The Feng family¡¯s eldest miss is really overbearing. Do you want us to coax you?¡± Gu Yao¡¯s provocation was echoed by a group of lackeys. Ye Meng wanted to stand up to protect her, but Feng Zhi held her down, and she sat down. ¡°What do you want to say?¡± Feng Zhi looked up and saw that his entire body was exuding a foolish smell. She asked coldly. Chapter 16 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°I want to say that the Feng family head relied on the sect to forcefully place you here and forcefully occupy someone else¡¯s spot!¡± ¡°How is it? You dare to say that there is no such thing?¡± Gu Yao looked at Feng Zhi¡¯s pair of arrogant eyes and could not help but feel angry. His younger sister Gu Yu had obviously awakened her bloodline and was not weaker than Feng Zhi! But she just could not enter East Summer Academy! Was this not cheating? It wasn¡¯t fair! The day she left home, Gu Yu¡¯s reddened eyes left a deep impression on him¡­ It was because of this that he made up his mind. When he arrived at the Academy, he would definitely find trouble with Feng Zhi and avenge his sister! ¡°That¡¯s right! A mere water bloodline should be thrown into the slave camp. How can she sit beside us in the Academy?¡± ¡°Chase her out! Otherwise, we¡¯ll have to strike!¡± Gu Yao had a group of friends who were following the trend and scolding Feng Zhi as though she was a messenger of justice. It was simply ridiculous! ¡°Since there¡¯s a problem with the Academy¡¯s regulations, you guys should complain to the teacher. What¡¯s the point of saying this to Feng Zhi?!¡± Ye Meng defended her. But the group of monkey-like men turned their cannon fire and looked at her mockingly. ¡°Yo! Second from the bottom, you¡¯re already clinging onto her?¡± ¡°You¡¯re hoping that Feng Zhi can protect you? You¡¯re all weaklings! There¡¯s no place for you to say anything!¡± They were scolding her in an extremely foul manner. Ye Meng bit her red lips, clenched her fingers, and a few drops of tears fell. Feng Zhi frowned. She could not bear for Ye Meng to be attacked because of her¡­ ¡°If I remember correctly, East Summer Academy has a quota that is donated every year¡­¡± ¡°Whoever pays more gold coins will be able to come to the Academy. The one with the highest price will get it!¡± ¡°The Gu family isn¡¯t willing to spend so much money on a girl, how can you blame this on me? Gu Yao, don¡¯t you feel guilty?¡± Feng Zhi took off Gu Yao¡¯s fig leaf and told him the source of the problem. ¡°Ha! Don¡¯t try to reason with me. If you don¡¯t come, my sister will definitely be able to enter on her own! Even a street beggar can beat you, what are you so arrogant for?¡± Gu Yao¡¯s eyes were red as he spouted nonsense. Feng Zhi stood up and gently twisted her wrists to stretch her muscles. ¡°Oh? Then do you dare to have a competition with me?¡± ¡°Who¡¯s afraid?!¡± Gu Yao could not wait to teach Feng Zhi a good lesson. He flipped his fingers and shot out two fireballs towards Feng Zhi¡¯s face. Feng Zhi raised her hand and conjured an ice barrier. The fireballs turned into smoke the moment they collided and dissipated¡­ Gu Yao did not expect this and was stunned. Feng Zhi aimed at the opportunity. She closed her fingers and chanted a chant, pointing at Gu Yao¡¯s eyes! The freezing spell made Gu Yao¡¯s eyes unable to see. Soft footsteps sounded in his ears. He subconsciously brandished his fire-blade sword and broke a few desks, but he did not hurt Feng Zhi at all. She dodged with her footsteps and looked for an opportunity to get close. ¡°Damn it!¡± Gu Yao was a little anxious and tried to use brute force to fight against Feng Zhi. But this was exactly what she wanted. The results of yesterday¡¯s body tempering had been verified at this moment¡­ Feng Zhi elbowed Gu Yao in the stomach and raised his hand to block his two critical hits, her expression did not change at all. On the contrary, Gu Yao felt his palm go numb, and he could not stand steadily and kept retreating! The surrounding students watched the battle in front of them in shock. It was completely beyond their imagination. It was almost a one-sided suppression by Feng Zhi! Using water-type bloodline to defeat fire-type bloodline, this must be a demon! It was too terrifying! ¡°You lost¡­¡± Feng Zhi¡¯s left hand transformed into a sharp icicle that clamped onto Gu Yao and pressed against his neck. With just a little bit of force, the icicle would cut through his artery and kill him! Gu Yao broke out in cold sweat and his eyes gradually regained their clarity. Seeing Feng Zhi¡¯s mocking smile, he was annoyed and furious! The teacher heard the news and came over. He quickly separated Feng Zhi and Gu Yao and looked at the mess on the ground with lingering fear. ¡°Let go, let go! This is too ridiculous!¡± ¡°Students are not allowed to fight! Have you not read the school rules?¡± The teacher stared at Feng Zhi and reprimanded, ¡°both of you, write a self-reflection and hand it in to me tomorrow!¡± ¡°If both of you really want to fight, after a month, when both of you enter the training mystic realm, no one will care if you fight!¡± ¡°Now, as long as it is within the jurisdiction of the Academy, it is not allowed!¡± After the teacher instructed them, he left once more. Feng Zhi tilted his head and looked at Gu Yao, raising her eyebrows, ¡°do you still want to continue?¡± At this moment, how would Gu Yao dare to act recklessly? He was afraid of the strength that Feng Zhi had unleashed, but he was not willing to give up. He said angrily, ¡°in a month¡¯s time, in the mystic realm! Just you wait, I will definitely take revenge for today!¡± ¡°I will accompany you to the end.¡± ¡°However, I advise you to cultivate a little more. Otherwise, if you fight, you will be too weak!¡± Feng Zhi lightly spat out a few words and filled up her taunt skill! Chapter 17 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation At this moment, Feng Lan suddenly spoke up from the side, ¡°sister Feng Zhi, is there a misunderstanding between us? Just say it, don¡¯t fight!¡± Gu Yao looked at Feng Lan and recognized her as the second young miss of the Feng family who had awakened her fire attribute bloodline. He had a good impression of her. Feng Zhi was rather cold-eyed. She was just thinking, under such a lively situation, how could Feng Lan bear not to stir up trouble? Well, things that can not hold themselves back will never change their nature! If she was really worried for her, why did she not come out and stop her before the fight? How hypocritical! Feng Lan was dressed in a pink dress. Her voice was gentle but she pretended to be troubled as she looked at Feng Zhi and said, ¡°elder sister¡¯s body has been strong since she was young. Everyone in the family knows that you can compete with your elder brother in the family by relying on brute force. However, the school is not like the family, and the students won¡¯t give in to you like how the family does¡­¡± ¡°If you are injured, how are you going to explain it to the family head?¡± Feng Lan deliberately said this. The surrounding students could sense that something was wrong and pondered. ¡°Moreover, elder sister has a water bloodline. Right now, she can barely suppress brother Gu Yao by relying on brute force. However, as long as she starts to cultivate, everyone will pull apart the distance. When that time comes, elder sister¡¯s leveling limit will be low and she won¡¯t have enough skill points. Naturally, she won¡¯t be a match for him¡­¡± ¡°It¡¯s better not to make enemies for yourself and your life will be better!¡± What a girl! It sounded like she was worried for her every word, but she had to announce to everyone that Feng Zhi¡¯s victory was all due to coincidence! As long as she concentrated on cultivating, anyone would be able to trample her under their feet! Feng Lan had really put in a lot of effort to suppress her! ¡°Second young miss Feng is really beautiful and kind-hearted!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! Compared to Feng Zhi, she is like heaven and earth!¡± In the academy, there were many blind and deaf people. Feng Lan was quite pretty, and with the background of the Feng family and the title of a genius girl, she had a bunch of lackeys following her when she entered the Academy. At this moment, they were even echoing loudly and praising Feng Lan non-stop. The corners of Feng Lan¡¯s lips curled up, and she was somewhat pleased with herself. Now, everyone in the East Summer Academy, and even the entire mysterious Sky Continent, knew that Feng Lan was the genius that was hard to come by in a hundred years! She was the successor of the Feng family! And Feng Zhi was not worthy to be compared to her! This kind of thought made Feng Lan slowly swell up, and she even forgot to see the strength that Feng Zhi had displayed with her own eyes¡­ ¡°Good sister, thank you for your concern.¡± ¡°In a month¡¯s time, I¡¯ll be training in the mystic realm. I¡¯m looking forward to your performance too!¡± Feng Zhi walked past her slowly and said in a low voice, ¡°if there¡¯s a chance, I won¡¯t show any mercy!¡± ¡°!¡± A chill ran down Feng Lan¡¯s spine as she gritted her teeth! ¡­ In the dormitory, Feng Zhi¡¯s mood was not affected by the farce during the day. She sat cross-legged, intending to absorb the spiritual energy. Ye Meng pushed the door open and entered. She sat down beside her, her eyes filled with admiration and anticipation! ¡°I didn¡¯t expect you to be so good at fighting! Gu Yao is an expert with a fire-type bloodline. He bragged that he was a genius youth, but he actually lost to you!¡± ¡°Why don¡¯t you take care of me for the next few months?¡± Ye Meng also believed Feng Lan¡¯s story and thought that Feng Zhi¡¯s skills were purely based on brute force. She bent her fingers and analyzed it seriously for her. ¡°Look, I¡¯ve awakened a wood-type bloodline!¡± ¡°Although I¡¯m weak now¡­¡± Ye Meng did not want to admit it and smiled awkwardly. Soon, she patted her chest confidently. ¡°But in the later stages, I¡¯ll be stronger than your water-elemental bloodline, right? When that time comes, I¡¯ll be the one protecting you!¡± ¡°We¡¯ll help each other! We¡¯re good classmates!¡± Ye Meng blinked her starry eyes and held onto Feng Zhi¡¯s arm expectantly. She had a big heart, being bullied by those male classmates during the day and being able to regain her full vitality at night¡­ Feng Zhi was a little envious of her optimism and reminded her, ¡°I¡¯ve offended a lot of people now.¡± ¡°Are you sure that you¡¯ll be able to protect me later on with your wood element bloodline?¡± she asked, imitating Ye Meng¡¯s choice of words. Ye Meng¡¯s expression instantly fell, her eyes darting around as she ran to the table, holding a pen in her hand. ¡°We¡¯ll think about it in the future! But for now, the two of us must be firmly tied together!¡± ¡°Teacher wants you to write a self-reflection, right? You don¡¯t have to worry. I¡¯m the best at it. I¡¯ll help you!¡± Ye Meng buried her head and started writing seriously. Feng Zhi felt a wave of warmth in her heart. Although Ye Meng had used her to some extent, she was at least a ¡®friend¡¯ who had revealed her true feelings to her and did not hide anything from her. She recalled the time when she fought the magical beast yesterday, the wood element skill book that had dropped. She opened her interspatial ring and took it out. ¡°Here, this is for you¡­¡± Feng Zhi thought that since it was a wood element skill anyway, it was useless for her to keep it. She threw it to Ye Meng and said, ¡°since you want to protect me, you have to cultivate well and don¡¯t drag me down.¡± Chapter 18 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The skill book landed steadily in Ye Meng¡¯s arms. She flipped through two pages and gradually lost control of her emotions. Her eyes widened and she stomped her feet in excitement. ¡°Wow! Zhi Zhi, where did you get this?¡± ¡°Such a good thing. If you put it in the market, you would need about a hundred gold coins to buy it. You still have to try your luck!¡± Ye Meng had awakened her wood-elemental bloodline, so she had collected a lot of information and knew how rare books were! She caressed the skill book with great care and moved closer to Feng Zhi. She squeezed herself into a seat and was extremely nervous. ¡°Really, do you want to give it to me?¡± ¡°How about I put it in the market to sell?¡± Feng Zhi smiled lightly and pretended to be joking as she snatched it away. Ye Meng quickly put the skill book into the spatial barrier and hugged her arm coquettishly. ¡°How can I take back what I gave her! Don¡¯t worry, I¡¯ll definitely cultivate well and protect you! Protect you!¡± ¡°I¡¯m looking forward to it.¡± Feng Zhi shook her head as she looked at her patting her chest and swearing to the heavens. She did not count on anyone¡¯s protection. She wanted to stand at the highest point on her own and let everyone in the mysterious Sky continent know her name! However, this little girl was rather interesting. Ye Meng hugged the skill book and slept soundly during the night. Feng Zhi continued to gather spiritual energy under the moonlight, trying to break through to the next level within a few days¡­ However, no matter how much she gathered spiritual energy, the light ball of the god of destruction bloodline absorbed it completely. There was no sound at all. ¡°Bad dragon, is there no other way to level up the god of destruction bloodline?¡± Feng Zhi was a little anxious. The demon dragon yawned and answered lazily, ¡°little girl, even if you have extraordinary muscles and bones and are a genius, you still have to follow the rules of cultivation and take your time.¡± ¡°Remember, you have to find the Philosopher¡¯s Stone. You can¡¯t try to break through forcefully with the mentality of hitting the jackpot, or else you will fall into the demonic path!¡± After the demon Dragon finished reminding her, it fell asleep again. No matter how Feng Zhi called out, it did not answer. Damn it! She did not have much time! The sun slowly rose. Ye Meng stretched her lazy waist. When she got up, she saw that Feng Zhi was still meditating with her legs crossed. She sighed and said, ¡°so hardworking!¡± ¡°Zhi Zhi, you pack up. We should go to the school now. We should eat something to fill our stomachs!¡± Ye Meng was afraid of disturbing her, so she whispered. Then, she pushed the door open and did not dare to take a breath until she stood in the courtyard. All the students in the academy complained that they were going to send Feng Zhi to the slave camp to slander her for being an imbecile. However, she felt that Feng Zhi was very strong! So strong that a single look from her could intimidate a lot of people! ¡°Let¡¯s go¡­¡± Feng Zhi quickly changed into a green robe and patted Ye Meng¡¯s shoulder, giving her a fright. The two of them went to the Academy side by side, but saw that the girls around them were all holding bronze mirrors, shyly wearing makeup. Feng Zhi furrowed her brows, puzzled. Could it be that the Academy had a course on appearance? Seeing this, Ye Meng secretly went to investigate. When she came back, she excitedly grabbed Feng Zhi¡¯s arm and whispered, ¡°I heard that there are transfer students coming today!¡± ¡°And a very handsome boy!¡± Ye Meng¡¯s eyes lit up. Feng Zhi laughed lightly and casually said, ¡°boring.¡± She flipped through the book and saw the tile hanging on her waist. She could not help but think of Chu Yao¡¯s peerless beauty that could turn all living things upside down¡­ ¡°Wow!¡± Waves of exclamations sounded. Feng Zhi lifted her head. The person in her memory had actually appeared in front of her! Chu Yao held the paper fan in his hand and calmly accepted the cheers and adoring gazes. Finally, he looked at Feng Zhi and curled his thin lips into a smile. ¡°Wow, Zhi Zhi, did you see that? He¡¯s so handsome!¡± Ye Meng patted Feng Zhi¡¯s shoulder in infatuation. She avoided Chu Yao¡¯s gaze and said softly, ¡°it¡¯s just a flower peacock.¡± ¡°Cough cough, everyone quiet down! Let me introduce everyone. This is the new student, Chu Yao¡­ you can just sit there!¡± The teacher pointed at a certain open space and controlled the situation. Looking at the students who were not in the mood to listen to the lecture, he reminded them, ¡°you are only temporarily enrolled in the school. You all need to cultivate seriously and don¡¯t let other things disturb your minds! Otherwise, after a month, during the test¡­¡± ¡°If anyone fails to reach tier 1, 3-star, they will automatically be expelled from the Academy!¡± ¡°At that time, regardless of whose young miss or whose young master it is, no one will have a second chance to enroll in the Academy! Do you understand?¡± After the teacher finished speaking, many of the students below the stage whined and complained. ¡°This is too difficult!¡± Feng Lan was not afraid. She only looked at Feng Zhi. When she realized that Chu Yao was also staring at her, she could not help but feel a little jealous and pretended to be worried. ¡°Aiya, sister! What should we do? You have a water bloodline. It must be very difficult for you to cultivate.¡± ¡°After a month, if you drop out of school, wouldn¡¯t you have to go to the slave camp?¡± Feng Lan deliberately said that. She secretly peeked at Chu Yao¡¯s reaction. He acted as if he did not hear it. Meanwhile, the dogs in the class started to chime in. ¡°Haha! That¡¯s right. We are going to watch the young miss of the Feng family lose face!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t let us down!¡± Chapter 19 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Feng Zhi pretended that it was a dog barking and did not care. She looked at the teacher and asked coldly, ¡°may I ask if students can go to the library to search for information?¡± ¡°Yes, but¡­ the library is restricted by a forbidden spell. Only after reaching 2-star can the door be opened¡­¡± The Academy had been established for many years, but there had never been a precedent for a new student to enter the library at the start of the semester. ¡°Aiyo! The young miss of the Feng family is so amazing! Who knows, you might even be able to get in!¡± There was a constant uproar around them. Feng Zhi could not be bothered to argue with them. She got up and walked straight towards the library. Ye Meng was so anxious that she wanted to drag her away. Now was not the time to be a hero! If she could not get in, would it not be a disgrace and further confirm their speculations and rumors! Chu Yao narrowed his eyes, opened his paper fan, and followed her. Since there was a beginning, the rest of the students all rushed to the library with the intention of enjoying the show. Ever since the Academy was founded, this library had been standing here with layers of forbidden spells. Not only did it contain many treasure troves, skill books, and history books, it also had a deep secret realm that could connect to all parts of the boundary of the mysterious Sky Continent. It was the academy¡¯s most treasured residence! Feng Zhi stood before it with her head held high, and her aura did not lose out in the slightest. Shua¡­ She moved swiftly, flipping her fingers as she pressed her palm on the barrier-clearing stone, driving the spiritual energy in her body¡­ Creak¡­ The heavy and decaying wooden door slowly opened! ¡°What¡­? She went in?!¡± The teachers and students did not dare to believe it until Feng Zhi¡¯s figure disappeared into it. Those who were bold enough to try running over also tried. The moment their palms touched the barrier-clearing stone, they bounced off and sat on the ground, falling into an exceptionally sorry state. This! Does this mean that Feng Zhi did not just barge in by chance, but that she was currently 2-star? ¡°How is this possible?¡± Feng Lan clenched her fists tightly, her eyes reddened with anger as she muttered, ¡°sister must have used other methods to trick me!¡± Chu Yao turned his head and looked in the direction of the voice, glancing at Feng Lan. This similar appearance, but so different in his heart. It was really a waste of this skin and appearance. As soon as Feng Lan finished her sentence, someone else followed suit and said, ¡°that¡¯s right! Since the Feng family head was able to spend a lot of money to send her to the Academy¡­¡± ¡°He must have spent money to buy water element magic crystals!¡± ¡°He spent money to advance, what¡¯s there to show off?¡± Gu Qinglian also had a mocking expression on his face. He could not hide the jealousy that was rising in his heart. She stared at the door and said, ¡°She can¡¯t be arrogant for long. The advancement that she made with magic crystals is only at 2-star!¡± ¡°The advancement from 2-star to 3-star is quite difficult. Not to mention the water-type bloodline, even the wood-type bloodline won¡¯t be able to succeed in a short period of time.¡± After saying that, she turned her head to look at Ye Meng, who was twiddling her fingers and worrying for Feng Zhi. She said derisively, ¡°let her be proud for a few days first.¡± ¡°When the time comes, she will make a fool of herself and fall even harder! She will fall even harder!¡± Feng Zhi did not care about the discussions outside at all. She carefully looked at the interior of the library. A few rows of heaven-connecting ladders that were powered by spiritual energy were placed on both sides. When she looked up, she could not see the top at all. There were probably hundreds of thousands of ancient books and skill books here. If she were to simply search through them, she would not be able to get an answer even after eight to ten years. Feng Zhi noticed that there were a few books inserted into a stone platform in the middle. She raised her hand and wanted to take them down, but she found that these few books were constantly changing, changing at a rate of every second¡­ What was going on? Feng Zhi was focused and calm. Suddenly, a thought popped up in her mind. She tried to silently recite the question that she needed to find the answer to and pressed her palm on the stone platform. Sure enough! The stone platform burst out with two rays of white light and a few books floated up. She took out a book and quickly flipped through it. Whatever Feng Zhi had read before could be imprinted accurately in her mind without a single word missing. Very quickly, she found the answer! ¡°In the mystic realm, there are treasured spiritual pets. Tame them and take them for your own use and you will be able to increase your strength.¡± The few lines of words on the yellowed remnant page successfully attracted Feng Zhi¡¯s attention. She thought of her parents at home and secretly decided to go to the high-level mystic realm to find spiritual pets with powerful strength. This way, second master Feng would not be able to provoke them at will, they would naturally be able to live more comfortably! ¡°How can I reverse the bloodline?¡± Feng Zhi looked at the stone platform that helped her answer her doubts and touched it with her palm again, chanting silently. A line of words appeared out of thin air. ¡°Reverse the bloodline. The upper level of the library is a secret. You need to unlock the upper-level enchantment.¡± ¡°¡­¡± This library was also divided according to strength? Feng Zhi sighed. With her current ability, it was impossible for her to break into the upper-level enchantment. She could only give up for now and wait for her cultivation to advance before looking for it again! ¡°Wait for me¡­ I¡¯ll come back!¡± She looked back at the empty library and said solemnly! Chapter 20 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation It was the Academy¡¯s day off, and the market was particularly lively. Feng Zhi strolled around and heard the shouts of the vendors. She took the opportunity to walk over, but unexpectedly, she saw a figure that she detested¡­ Enemies! How come I can meet her everywhere? Feng Zhi cursed in her heart. She saw Feng Lan stop in front of the crystal stall with two or three servants. ¡°Miss! I see that you have a strong bloodline. Do you want to buy some crystals to help with your cultivation? It¡¯s a high-quality product! It¡¯s definitely worth it!¡± The stall vendor looked at Feng Lan with a bright light and lied. ¡°Do you have any fire-type magic crystals?¡± Feng Lan lowered her voice and looked around sneakily. The stall vendor immediately understood and asked, ¡°how much do you want?¡± ¡°Give it all to me!¡± The money bag filled with gold coins was thrown to the stall. The stall owner hurriedly pushed out nearly a hundred fire element magic crystals. He was so happy that he could not close his mouth. This business was worth it! Feng Zhi frowned and muttered in puzzlement, ¡°what does she want to do?¡± ¡°Could it be!¡± She suddenly remembered that Father Feng had mentioned to her during their chat that if she wanted to quickly level up, there was a way by crazily using refining element crystals! Feng Zhi¡¯s heart was faintly moved. She pondered and came to the stall next door. She asked, ¡°do you have water element magic crystals?¡± She held two magic crystals that were of good quality. She was excited, conflicted, and hesitant! She needed to quickly become stronger in a short period of time. She had no other way! Just as she was about to take out the gold coins, the voice of the demon dragon suddenly sounded in her mind! ¡°Little girl, you have thought it through! the demon dragon said in a deep voice, seemingly a little disappointed. ¡°Although you can level up by relying on magic crystals, I¡¯m afraid that your skills won¡¯t be stable in the later stages. It might become a burden. There¡¯s also the possibility of falling into the devil¡­¡± The demon dragon warned. Feng Zhi clenched her fists tightly, and the magic crystals hurt in her palm. She took a few deep breaths and handed the magic crystals back to the stall owner apologetically. At this stage, even though she was anxious, she could not afford any failure! ¡°Hey, isn¡¯t this the young miss of the Feng Family? What¡¯s wrong? You can¡¯t even afford two water-type magic crystals? How pitiful!¡± Feng Zhi wanted to leave, but she heard a mocking voice beside her. One of Feng Lan¡¯s followers had good eyesight. When he noticed her, he immediately said loudly, ¡°You can¡¯t even afford the cheapest water-type magic crystals, and you still want to advance?¡± ¡°In your dreams! When the exam comes, Hurry up and pack your things and get out of here. I feel ashamed to be in the same Academy as you!¡± The follower looked at Feng Lan ingratiatingly and looked at her through the air. Feng Zhi smiled coldly and did not intend to bicker with them. Last night, she had heard Ye Meng mention that there was a shop in the city that would hold an auction. Feng Zhi had secretly memorized it and thought of letting her sell the fire element magic crystals that she had obtained from fighting magical beasts. Perhaps she could exchange them for some gold coins. With money in her pocket, she would have the confidence! This was the main purpose of her strolling around! Walking a few more steps, Feng Zhi was about to ask for directions when she raised her head and saw the plaque made of pure gold right in front of her. She could not help but sigh. Sure enough, there is money here! As she slowly walked in, the auction had already started. She chose a corner seat and ordered two pots of green tea to call for the running hall. ¡°Find us two good seats! If there are any fruits and snacks, bring them all out!¡± A noisy voice came from the door. Feng Zhi saw Feng Lan and her little sidekick. She facepalmed. Why could she not get rid of them? However, she thought about it and took out the fire element magic crystal, smiling faintly. With Feng Lan as a sucker, she could sell it for a good price! Feng Zhi gestured to the attendant and handed the magic crystal to him to sell on his behalf. She whispered in his ear and asked, ¡°do you remember it?¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, miss!¡± The attendant ran to the stage from behind and handed the item to the auctioneer. He also passed Feng Zhi¡¯s advice to the auctioneer. Skill books, weapons, whips, and other items were sold one by one. Finally, it was the fire element magic crystal¡¯s turn. The auctioneer said, ¡°this item is for sale by our shop. It¡¯s a high-grade fire-type magic crystal with pure spiritual energy. If you want to cultivate your fire-type bloodline, it¡¯s an excellent item! You can shorten the time for advancement. The starting price is 200 gold coins!¡± ¡°As the price is not low, please start the auction carefully. For cultivators from large sects, you can¡¯t miss it!¡± the auctioneer urged. ¡°This is too expensive¡­ only rich people can afford it¡­¡± ¡°Even if it is a high-grade magic crystal, the starting price should not be 200 gold coins!!¡± The audience was full of complaints. However, the little follower kept urging Feng Lan. ¡°Second young miss Feng, it suits you too much! Only you are worthy of this magic crystal!¡± ¡°The power of this magic crystal is pure. Besides, you are the only genius of the Feng clan and you don¡¯t care about this little money. Why don¡¯t you just buy it?¡± Feng Lan could not get excited and was afraid of losing face. She clenched her teeth and raised her hand. ¡°200 gold coins!¡± The hammer fell! The deal was sold for two hundred gold coins! ¡°Money and goods, two hundred! No refunds!¡± The auctioneer ordered the waiter to pass the gold coins to Feng Zhi. With this, Feng Lan saw Feng Zhi sitting in the shadow in the corner. She was so angry that her eyes were red. She wanted to crush the fire element magic crystal! So it was this b* tch¡¯s magic crystal. Feng Zhi deliberately cheated her money!? ¡°Ha, good sister. After all, it was bought with money. Cherish it well!¡± ¡°You have always been smart. I thought you would haggle the price. I didn¡¯t expect¡­¡± Feng Zhi weighed the money bag and smiled. ¡°Thank you!¡± Feng Lan, ¡°¡­¡± After the matter was settled, Feng Zhi got up and was about to leave. However, she heard the auctioneer¡¯s excited voice as he said, ¡°Next, the item for auction is a fragment of the Philosopher¡¯s Stone. It¡¯s rare to see such a treasure!¡± ¡°!¡± Feng Zhi turned around and stared at the item in the glass box! Chapter 21 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The Philosopher¡¯s Stone was a consumable item for the god of destruction bloodline and the god of healing bloodline. However, this item could not only be used by the inheritors of two bloodlines. If ordinary cultivators gathered five fragments and combined them into the Philosopher¡¯s Stone, they could also use it to level up to one star. It was a rare treasure! To be able to see one or two fragments was really lucky! ¡°Please begin the bidding!¡± In the auction house, discussions instantly broke out. Everyone¡¯s eyes were burning with desire to give it a try! ¡°Aiya, the god of destruction bloodline and the god of healing bloodline are already extinct. Why are we snatching them?¡± ¡°Is it new? The effects are similar to ordinary crystals. Who would spend a large amount of money to buy it!¡± In the seats, a few voices suddenly came from somewhere. It was the truth, and everyone agreed with it. The auctioneer ignored them. The moment he hammered the hammer, shouts came from every corner of the hall! ¡°One hundred!¡± ¡°One hundred and fifty!¡± Feng Zhi hugged her shoulders and looked coldly at the hypocritical expressions on their faces. It was clear that she wanted everyone to back down and snatch the Philosopher¡¯s Stone for herself. She had to get the Philosopher¡¯s Stone! As the price reached 200 gold coins, everyone slowly backed out of the auction. Five pieces of fragments could be combined into a Philosopher¡¯s Stone, which meant that a stone would cost more than 1000 gold coins. It was not worth it to buy a mere crystal stone with all their money! After all, no one was as stupid as Feng Lan, who was easily angered due to her face. She relied on the large sects to buy the magic crystals with 200 gold coins! ¡°250 gold coins!¡± Feng Zhi suddenly raised her hand, shocking everyone so much that they could not close their mouths. This was the young miss of the Feng family, right? She was crazy to level up! Not to mention that the price was too expensive, the more important thing was that this Philosopher¡¯s Stone was only a fragment. The probability of the fragment appearing was not high, and it was very difficult to gather all of them. Even if they managed to buy this piece, they might not necessarily encounter other fragments. Otherwise, the price could be even higher. What was the difference between this and gambling? The auctioneer narrowed his eyes slightly and struck the drum. ¡°Two hundred and fifty. First Time¡­¡± ¡°Two hundred and sixty.¡± Who was it? Feng Zhi abruptly turned her head, but her eyes met Chu Yao¡¯s bottomless eyes. He waved his paper fan and shrugged as he chuckled. ¡°Thank you for letting me win!¡± ¡°Two hundred and eighty.¡± Feng Zhi raised the price, and Chu Yao followed closely behind, unwilling to show any weakness. The situation was anxious, and the spectators became nervous as well, cracking their melon seeds loudly. ¡°Three hundred!¡± Feng Zhi gritted her teeth and glared fiercely at Chu Yao. What was he trying to do!! Was he deliberately trying to argue with her? If he still wanted to raise the bid, then the gold coins that he had swindled from Feng Lan would not be enough to continue raising the bid! A thin layer of sweat appeared on her nervous palm, but her expression did not show any traces of it. ¡°Here, let the lady have It!¡± Chu Yao thought for two seconds, and at this moment, he was showing his elegant demeanor as he said gracefully. His flowery peacock-like appearance caused the surrounding women to exclaim incessantly. They exclaimed, ¡°young master is so kind-hearted!¡± Kind-hearted? Hmph! Feng Zhi dug out all of her assets and kept the Philosopher¡¯s Stone into her interspatial ring. She looked at Chu Yao! He was obviously doing it on purpose to raise the prices of goods! This heart was simply too vicious! ¡°Hey, little girl¡­ Don¡¯t you want to thank me?¡± Chu Yao stopped Feng Zhi who was about to leave. Feng Zhi raised her hand and slapped it away. She looked back and scoffed, ¡°hehe!¡± Chu Yao looked at her disappearing figure at the corner of the street with interest. He waved his paper fan gently and shook his head with a faint smile. ¡°Such a temper. If the other party was not you¡­ I would definitely snatch it.¡± ¡­ Back at the academy, Feng Zhi passed by a deep forest. She took out the fragment of the Philosopher¡¯s Stone and felt the faint energy that appeared. Things seemed to be going more smoothly than she had imagined! ¡°Little girl, you¡¯ve only found one-fifth of it. What¡¯s there to be happy about?¡± The demon dragon poured cold water on her. Feng Zhi was in a good mood and could not be bothered to bicker with it. ¡°Listen, ahead, fifty meters to the left, there¡¯s a treasure land at the end. I can feel the rich spiritual energy, it¡¯s very suitable for your cultivation¡­¡± ¡°Aiya! Wait, this little girl, she¡¯s too impatient!¡± Before the demon dragon could finish his sentence, Feng Zhi made a hand seal and stepped on a few green leaves of the hollow bamboo as she dashed towards that place. When she reached the place, Feng Zhi was a little disappointed. She lowered her head and found that in front of her was a deep well-like cave. It was filled with fog and mixed with frost particles. As she approached, she immediately felt a chill. ¡°Is this the place?¡± She asked. The demon dragon yawned lazily. ¡°This place looks unremarkable, but it¡¯s a thousand-year-old ice cave that leads to the underground.¡± ¡°If your water-type bloodline is here, your cultivation speed will be doubled, and you¡¯ll be able to obtain pure spiritual power, which will help you break through and advance¡­¡± Hearing this, Feng Zhi lifted her leg and was about to jump in, but the demon dragon quickly stopped her. ¡°Hey, Hey, Hey! There¡¯s a drawback! There¡¯s a drawback!¡± ¡°If you jump in, your body will probably suffer some pain. A thousand-year-old ice is hard for an ordinary person to resist¡­¡± Feng Zhi¡¯s eyes were filled with disdain as she fell directly into the ice. Her eyes and skin were instantly covered with frost. The bone-piercing pain caused her heart to almost stop beating. ¡°As long as I can advance! I don¡¯t care¡­¡± ¡°So what if I suffer!¡± Chapter 22 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation After a long while, Feng Zhi suddenly opened her eyes, and a few blood-red rays burst out from her body. She sat cross-legged on the ice bed and rapidly absorbed the surrounding spiritual energy. The light ball in her qi center expanded and rotated at a rapid speed, and the spiritual energy pressed down on every inch of her skin¡­ ¡°Ah!!¡± Feng Zhi was in so much pain that she raised her head and cried out loudly. Her hair burst open, and her black hair danced with the cold air. ¡°Stop! Stop it now!¡± Seeing that Feng Zhi¡¯s skin was covered in ice marks and that her water-type bloodline was on the verge of advancing, the demon dragon let out a wild cry and brought her back to her senses. ¡°Why are you stopping me from advancing?¡± Feng Zhi¡¯s eyes were slightly cold and her voice was filled with dissatisfaction as she asked. The demon dragon reminded her to check her body. Feng Zhi peeked into her qi center and realized that there seemed to be something strange about the water-type light ball. ¡°The spiritual energy here is abundant, and it is beneficial for your cultivation. However, you have yet to refine these wild energies into your own¡­¡± ¡°It is inevitable that they will float on the surface. If you forcefully level up and your spiritual energy isn¡¯t solid enough, you might suffer a backlash and damage your meridians¡­¡± ¡°Let¡¯s stop for now. After some time, we will find a few demon beasts to temper ourselves and refine them before we can continue cultivating!¡± Feng Zhi stopped and sighed! The advancement was right in front of her eyes, yet she had to wait for an opportunity. It was really torturous! ¡°Bad dragon, how did you know about this treasured land?¡± she asked as she was bored and slowly absorbed the spiritual energy. The demonic dragon snorted twice and complained in disdain, ¡°look at your unworldly appearance. I know thousands of places like this!¡± ¡°¡­oh, you¡¯re the best! Why are you still trapped in the Feng family cave? Did you have to rely on me to get out?¡± Feng Zhi asked bluntly. The demon dragon almost spat out a mouthful of blood! Sooner or later, it would be angered to death by Feng Zhi! ¡°That¡¯s because I fell into a trap, that¡¯s why¡­¡± The demon dragon was so mad that it tried to explain, but Feng Zhi raised her index finger and put it to her lips. ¡°Shh!¡± She circled behind the icicle and quietly hid. A one-horned demon beast walked with heavy steps, panting heavily, and slowly approached with great vigilance.. ¡°Little girl, what kind of Luck do you have? What You want, you get!¡± The demon dragon rubbed its eyes with its claws and exclaimed! The corners of Feng Zhi¡¯s lips curled up into a bloodthirsty arc. She gripped the soft whip tightly, fell to the ground, held her breath, and waited for the demon beast to step into her attack range before leaping up. Roar! The demon beast spat out a few streams of sticky liquid. Feng Zhi dodged, and with a flick of her finger, she instantly froze it. She flipped over and closed in on the demon beast. Holding a single horn, she sat on its spine that was covered with soft thorns. Holding the soft whip, she strangled its throat, forcing it to constantly twist its body. It lost its balance and staggered to the ground! ¡°I¡¯ll send you on your way!¡± Feng Zhi waved her hand and conjured two icicles, poking at the demon beast¡¯s eyeballs. The demon beast roared and spewed out putrid smoke, forcing Feng Zhi to take two steps back. Covering her face with her hand, she could vaguely see the figure of the demon beast running towards her again. She turned her body sideways and kicked horizontally, tripping over the behemoth. She frowned and said. ¡°He looks so disgusting, and his skills stink too!¡± There seemed to be something in the smoke that prevented Feng Zhi from conjuring any freezing skills for a short period of time. While she was engaged in hand-to-hand combat with the demon beast, she suddenly heard two cries. ¡°Be careful!¡± A man with decent skills appeared out of thin air. There were two scratches on his front collar. It looked like he was the person who had just fought with the demon beast! ¡°Its weakness is its heart! Three inches! Use a sharp weapon to pierce through!¡± The man was entangled with the demon beast, and his strength was not ordinary. Because of his reminder and restriction, Feng Zhi pulled out the hairpin, aimed at its heart, and glided over. Puff¡­ The hairpin accurately pierced into the demon beast¡¯s heart. It instantly turned into a cloud of green smoke and dropped a few magic crystals and skill books¡­ Feng Zhi wiped her sweat and looked at the man. ¡°Zhi Zhi?¡± Ye Meng, who was a bit slower, looked at her in surprise and was a little embarrassed. ¡°You¡¯re here too!¡± Feng Zhi waved her hand. The three of them were a little tired. They left the ice cave and found a place to sit down and rest in the deep forest. Ye Meng carefully glanced at Feng Zhi¡¯s face and introduced, ¡°he¡¯s my friend. I¡¯ve told you about him. He¡¯s very powerful, Qin Feng.¡± ¡°This is my roommate, Feng Zhi.¡± Ye Meng quietly approached her, her eyes full of helplessness. She said in a low voice, ¡°Zhi Zhi, I didn¡¯t mean to hide it from you!¡± ¡°I¡¯m not from a big sect. My family is poor. It¡¯s not easy for me to get into the Academy. I want to make a name for myself!¡± ¡°But the Academy was always asking for money. I just wanted to hunt some demon beasts with Qin Feng and sell the crystals for money!¡± Ye Meng shook Feng Zhi¡¯s arm gently, her eyes showing some expectation and envy. ¡°Zhi Zhi! I didn¡¯t expect you to be so good at fighting and killing demon beasts! Why don¡¯t you join us? Let¡¯s hunt some demon beasts together, what do you think?¡± ¡°I can give you more magic crystals!¡± If she was here, they might be able to hunt a demon beast every day. In that case¡­ would they not earn a lot of money? Qin Feng did not say anything and only looked at her quietly. Feng Zhi furrowed her brows in deep thought. Due to Chu Yao¡¯s interference, she had spent all her savings on the Philosopher¡¯s Stone during the auction. She also needed money. ¡°Alright, I¡¯ll join you.¡± She did not continue to hesitate and said straightforwardly. Chapter 23 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Ever since she had formed a team with Qin Feng and Ye Meng, other than attending classes, Feng Zhi had been hunting demon beasts, selling crystals, and exchanging gold coins. She was quite at ease¡­ As she leveled up and kept fighting against demon beasts, she noticed that the spiritual energy in her body seemed to have decreased, but it was more condensed. It was as if it had been compressed, making it easier to control. It seemed that the dragon was right. Feng Zhi sat cross-legged and heard Ye Meng call out to her, ¡°Zhi Zhi, let¡¯s go. We¡¯re going to the market to sell crystals!¡± ¡°Alright¡­¡± Feng Zhi checked the few piles of crystals in her interspatial ring. They should be able to sell for a good price. At the market, the vendors who had been working with Feng Zhi and the others were overjoyed when they saw them coming again! She was glad that he had the foresight to talk business with these seemingly weak young men. These days, all the crystals they sold were rare and hard to come by. It was easy to find a buyer for high-level crystals, so they earned a lot! ¡°You guys wait here for a moment. I¡¯ll go count them and get the gold coins for you guys!¡± The stall owner was eager to worship them as the god of wealth and leave. Feng Zhi and the others had nothing to do, so they looked around and waited. ¡°Yo, this is the young miss of the Feng family, a weakling who has awakened her water bloodline. Feng Zhi, right?¡± ¡°From the looks of it, you guys are in cahoots?¡± A woman with a sharp tone held two swords in her hands. She looked at Feng Zhi with disdain and said to Ye Meng, ¡°whether you want to fight demon beasts or cultivate together to advance, you are blind to look for her!¡± ¡°Who doesn¡¯t know that Feng Zhi is trash who is so weak that she can¡¯t be any weaker! Thinking about it, she must have risked her life and cheated to advance to two stars, right?¡± ¡°If you bring her along, I¡¯m afraid that you¡¯ll lose your lives one day. You won¡¯t even know that you¡¯re being held back by others!¡± The woman looked a little familiar. She had been belittling Feng Zhi with her nose. Feng Zhi frowned. She could not remember her name and did not have any emotional fluctuations. Barking wildly in the street, what was the difference between that and a stray dog? Ye Meng quickly tiptoed and said beside her ear, ¡°it¡¯s senior Qing Ruo from the Academy.¡± ¡°I heard that she likes senior Gu Yi.¡± Feng Zhi¡¯s eyes instantly brightened and she smiled mockingly. Senior Qing Ruo also heard their conversation and her face flushed red. She pointed at her and shouted loudly. ¡°Ha, Feng Zhi, don¡¯t look at me like that. The Gu family had obviously broken off the engagement with you, yet you still pestered Gu Yi and came here!¡± ¡°How shameless!¡± ¡°Gu Yi doesn¡¯t want to see you! You¡¯d better scram back to the slave camp as soon as possible and accept your fate!¡± Qing Ruo attracted the crowd of onlookers, who were munching on melon seeds and sharing information with each other, thinking that it was a scene of two women fighting over a man. Feng Zhi pressed down Ye Meng, who was trying to argue for her and stared at her senior, emitting some pressure that made her stagger half a step. Fear rose in her heart. ¡°Gu Yi? Who is that?¡± She asked sarcastically, ¡°oh! The young master of the Gu family who wanted to form an alliance with the Feng family but ended up breaking off the engagement with me because of his hypocritical influence?¡± ¡°What? Senior sister confessed to Gu Yi but was rejected? Are you taking out this nameless anger on me?¡± Feng Zhi deliberately provoked her, picking on some sarcastic words that she could not refute. ¡°Gu Yi and I have nothing to do with each other since the day we broke off the engagement. If you really want to make a scene, just focus on your cultivation and see if he likes you.¡± ¡°I can¡¯t be bothered to snatch that kind of trash from you!¡± After saying that, Feng Zhi looked at the money bag handed over by the stall owner and was about to leave. Qing Ruo pulled out her two swords and blocked her path. However, a friend beside her reminded her, ¡°the Academy does not allow private fights and provocations. Otherwise, you will be punished!¡± ¡°Hmph¡­¡± Due to the rules, Qing Ruo withdrew her swords. Feng Zhi looked sympathetically at the woman whose eyes were blinded by her emotions. She was not weak. How could she be blind enough to like Gu Yi? What a pity. Qing Ruo felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by her. Due to the many gazes around her, she decided to simply say something fierce. ¡°Don¡¯t be happy too early. In a few days, it will be the freshmen ceremony. When that time comes, I will naturally teach you a good lesson!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t find an excuse to hide! I will definitely let your blood splatter on the arena, kneel on the ground, and beg for mercy from me!¡± Qing Ruo¡¯s friends around her were all watching the show. They tried to persuade her. ¡°Aiya, don¡¯t be angry. Maybe she wouldn¡¯t even manage to successfully enroll in the school, and be disqualified in the strength test! Competing with her will lower your level!¡± ¡°Hehe.¡± Feng Zhi sneered, attracting their attention. She slowly scratched her ears as if she had heard some dirty words. She opened her thin lips and said, ¡°then we¡¯ll see.¡± Chapter 24 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°You!! What are you so arrogant for?¡± ¡°How many days can you be arrogant with the Feng Family? When you lose your position as the family head, the whole family will be like dogs in the water! Everyone can be beaten!¡± Feng Zhi¡¯s contemptuous expression angered Qing Ruo, and she ignored her image and scolded her in the street. The crowd around them pitied the weak and hated the strong. When they heard it, they felt that something was wrong and started to point at Qing Ruo, saying that she bullied Feng Zhi because she had some ability. The denunciations gradually spread, and their friends saw that the situation was not right, they dragged Qing Ruo away. After the crowd dispersed, Ye Meng looked at Feng Ruo worriedly. ¡°Zhi Zhi, you shouldn¡¯t have quarreled with Qing Ruo.¡± She saw Feng Ruo¡¯s confused eyes and continued to explain, ¡°in a month, the Academy will test the strength of the new students and decide whether they can stay.¡± ¡°The new students who pass the examination will have to fight with a senior !¡± ¡°The result of the battle will directly affect the level of the mystic realm we can enter to train and what kind of spiritual pets we can find.¡± Spiritual pets? Feng Zhi¡¯s interest was piqued. She raised her head and signaled her to continue. ¡°The higher the level of the mystic realm, the higher the level of the spiritual pets we can find. The stronger the spiritual pets, the more help we will get!¡± They had already known this in advance in the freshmen¡¯s handbook. However, Feng Zhi¡­ was not a person who would read so many rules patiently, so she naturally ignored the battle list behind her. Ye Meng let out a long sigh. ¡°That senior Qing Ruo is one of the people we need to fight this time.¡± ¡°She is quite strong, she ranks seventh, from low to high. If you defeat her, you will be able to enter the seventh level of the mystical realm.¡± Feng Zhi narrowed her eyes and recalled the information she had read in the library. The seventh, eighth, and ninth levels of the mystic realm were classified as high-level mystic realms. There were many powerful spiritual pets hidden in it that no one had tamed before! Perhaps, she might even be able to meet some ancient divine beasts! Feng Zhi could not hide her excitement. She wished that she could fight tomorrow and help her father and mother tame one spiritual pet each and bring them home! Ye Meng looked at her pupils that had contracted due to her excitement and mistakenly thought that she was afraid. She took the initiative to put her arms around her shoulders and comforted her. ¡°But don¡¯t worry!¡± ¡°Actually, according to our strength, we will only be able to fight to the third level at most. We won¡¯t be able to match up to Qing Ruo at all!¡± Feng Zhi tilted her head and looked helplessly at Ye Meng who had no ambition. She was too lazy to explain. Qin Feng was silent. He held the long sword in his hand and kept quiet as he observed Feng Zhi¡¯s expression. She did not seem to be afraid. And during this period of time, he had been cooperating with her¡­ He clearly felt that Feng Zhi did not seem to be what she looked like on the surface. On the contrary, there was a huge amount of energy contained within her body. Even though she had awakened her water-type bloodline, her every move was tricky and extremely aggressive. She did not hold back at all! Qin Feng¡¯s probing gaze made Feng Zhi subconsciously turn her head. Their eyes met. She opened the bag of gold coins that the stall owner had given her and took out half of it. She threw the rest to him, raised her head, and said. ¡°Here, it¡¯s yours.¡± ¡°It¡¯s a lot,¡± he replied. Feng Zhi took two steps forward, turned around, and smiled cheekily. ¡°I¡¯m in a good mood today. You¡¯re welcome.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Qin Feng felt that her tone was strange. He raised his head and saw the woman who was crouching on the second floor of the Chu pavilion, greeting guests and waving her handkerchief. He thought of Feng Zhi¡¯s eyes that were filled with ridicule and said in a low voice. ¡°What do you take me for? One of those customers?¡± ¡°Haha.¡± Feng Zhi could feel Qin Feng¡¯s anger and could not help but laugh. Ye Meng looked at her in a daze and said, ¡°Zhi Zhi! You look so pretty when you smile¡­¡± ¡°¡­¡± Feng Zhi patted Ye Meng¡¯s head and wanted to tease her a little, but she saw Feng Lan¡¯s little follower pushing a little girl and trying to snatch some gold coins. The little girl was weak and did not dare to shout, her eyes filled with tears. ¡°Stop!¡± Feng Zhi let yY Meng stay where she was and squeezed into the crowd, kicking him three times in a row at his lower abdomen. The lackey was in so much pain that he could not stand up straight, and he said fiercely, ¡°who is it? Don¡¯t you have eyes? Do you know who I am?!¡± ¡°Who cares who you are? If you don¡¯t leave now, I¡¯ll beat you into a pulp!¡± Feng Zhi slid the soft whip out of her sleeve and whipped it at his arm like a snake. Instantly, several bloody marks appeared! ¡°Feng¡­ Feng Zhi!¡± The little follower recognized her and fell to the ground in pain. He did not care about his image and rolled away! Ye Meng dispersed the people who were watching the show and ran to Feng Zhi¡¯s side. She asked the frightened girl who was like a little rabbit, ¡°are you okay?¡± ¡°Gu Yu! How are you? Where are you hurt?¡± At this moment, a man pushed Ye Meng away and rushed to the girl. He looked at her carefully and asked anxiously. The girl shook her head. ¡°Brother, they saved me.¡± ¡°Thank you¡­¡± The man cupped his fists gratefully. When he saw that it was Feng Zhi, he looked embarrassed. ¡°Why are you here?¡± Feng Zhi¡¯s eyes were also a little subtle. It was Gu Yao. Chapter 25 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Gu Yao¡¯s pupils trembled as he held his sword and stared suspiciously at Feng Zhi. He did not believe that things would be as simple as they looked and asked impatiently, ¡°what are you trying to do!¡± ¡°I was the one who had an argument with you, why did you drag Gu Yu into this! You want to use her?¡± Gu Yao questioned, not willing to believe that the woman whom he had been targeting all along would be a good person! Instead, he was certain that Feng Zhi was doing it deliberately! This person¡¯s way of thinking was really¡­ Feng Zhi shook her head and looked sympathetically at Gu Yao, saying, ¡°you look quite normal, so you must have left your brain at home, right?¡± ¡°I don¡¯t care what you think, next time don¡¯t let your sister meet with danger again.¡± ¡°Otherwise, if it wasn¡¯t for someone with a vicious mind like me stepping out to help, I¡¯m afraid that she would have been bullied and wouldn¡¯t have waited for a good brother to come and save her!¡± Feng Zhi flicked her sleeves and mocked him before turning around to leave. Gu Yu tugged at Gu Yao¡¯s sleeves anxiously and cried out in a low voice, ¡°brother! You¡¯ve misunderstood pretty sister! Quickly apologize!¡± ¡°¡­¡± Gu Yao frowned and did not say anything. He looked at Feng Zhi¡¯s disappearing figure and was lost in thought, deep in his internal struggle. Gu Yu¡¯s face was filled with innocence as she looked at him with a light tone and asked, ¡°brother! You know pretty sister. Is she your classmate in the Academy?¡± ¡°In the future, I want to be as strong as her! I want to be able to protect myself and brother!¡± She put on a bright smile. Gu Yao forced out a smile and patted her head. ¡°Okay.¡± The sun was setting and the market was getting more and more lively. Qin Feng suggested going to the restaurant for a meal. Ye Meng agreed readily while Feng Zhi declined politely and said goodbye to the two of them. Thinking of returning to the Academy to continue cultivating, the sleeping demon dragon suddenly opened its mouth and shouted anxiously, ¡°girl!¡± ¡°¡­¡± Feng Zhi touched her wildly beating heart, wishing that she could catch the bad dragon and beat it up twice! ¡°What¡¯s wrong now?¡± She looked around and did not see a deep well or a perfect place to cultivate. Leaning against the brick wall, she replied perfunctorily. The demon dragon saw her impatience and did not want to beat around the bush with her. ¡°Up ahead, the second stall on the left, there¡¯s something good!¡± The demon dragon had seen a lot, and anything that could be praised by it must be extraordinary! Feng Zhi walked quickly and found that it was an extremely ordinary bookstall with the lowest level of skill books and a few drawings of the mountain range. She could not see where the good things were hidden! Under the suspicious gaze of the stall owner, Feng Zhi turned the stall upside down and only found a shabby water-type skill book, the most ordinary one! Feng Zhi secretly communicated with the demon dragon and asked, ¡°are you lying to me?¡± ¡°Lying to you, what benefits can I get?¡± The demon dragon said proudly, ¡°I am the god of destruction bloodline! Naturally, I can feel that this book is emitting a huge amount of energy. You can¡¯t see it, it¡¯s because your cultivation is too shallow and your eyes are poor!¡± ¡°This is very likely to be a hidden book!¡± Feng Zhi was tempted. She had heard the elders in the clan mention that hidden books disguise as ordinary books contained peerless techniques! Even if she had obtained it by chance, if she did not master the decryption technique, it would still be a useless book! ¡°What are you waiting for! With me here, are you afraid that you won¡¯t be able to understand it?¡± The demon dragon was afraid that others would snatch it away, so he hurriedly urged and clamored in Feng Zhi¡¯s mind! ¡°Stall owner, how many gold coins?¡± Feng Zhi was confident, but she was not in a hurry to buy it. She said to the stall owner, ¡°no one is willing to buy this thing. Can you give me a cheaper price?¡± Only Feng Zhi was unwilling to become a slave after awakening her water bloodline! The stall owner could not be bothered with her. He waved his hand and let her take the book away. ¡°The shop owner has suffered a terrible loss!¡± Demon dragon watched as Feng Zhi successfully swindled him into buying it at half the price. He sighed with emotion. ¡°He doesn¡¯t know what¡¯s good for him. It¡¯s not my fault.¡± Feng Zhi could not hide her excitement. She hurried back to the dormitory and closed the door tightly. She followed the demon dragon¡¯s instructions and bought a few medicinal ingredients. She supported the medicine refining pot and stirred it with an iron spoon. She waited for the purplish-purple liquid to gradually bubble. She threw the skill book in. The pages of the book became soft and all the words faded away. The liquid in the medicine pot was almost instantly absorbed by the Yin book into her body. Suddenly, white light burst out. Feng Zhi narrowed her eyes and waited for the light to dissipate before taking out the hidden book. The originally tattered paper had now turned into leather, and the words were also emitting waves of cold air. Powerful energy seeped out, and the moment it touched, Feng Zhi felt her entire body shake, and a comfortable pulse rushed all the way to the top of her head! She focused her eyes and saw the words on the cover. ¡°Ice Arrow Technique!¡± Feng Zhi was extremely excited, and she wanted to immediately start cultivating, but the demon dragon stopped her and said, ¡°wait!¡± ¡°Little girl, have you thought it through?¡± The demon dragon asked solemnly, and Feng Zhi regained some of her rationality, frowning. Chapter 26 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°Ice Arrow Technique is a rare long-range attack technique among water-elemental skills.¡± ¡°Its attack range is even comparable to fire-elemental bloodlines that specialize in long-range attacks. If you combine it with your ¡®Group Kill¡¯ skill, you will have even more outstanding combat strength.¡± ¡°But, don¡¯t forget! You are currently the weakest water-elemental bloodline body!¡± Demon dragon poured cold water over Feng Zhi¡¯s head. Her eyes flashed slightly, and her fingers that were holding the skill book curled up as she gritted her teeth. ¡°You have to know that the water bloodline can only provide you with 27 skill points. At most, you can cultivate three skills!¡± ¡°Only by knowing when to give and when to take, can you go far. Whether you want to learn the Ice Arrow Technique or not, think carefully¡­¡± The demon dragon¡¯s reminder made Feng Zhi instantly sober up. In recent days, she had frequently hunted and killed demon beasts. The progress was so smooth that she had even forgotten the fact that she was a ¡®weakling¡¯! The Ice Arrow Technique slowly froze in her palm. Feng Zhi lowered her gaze and inadvertently caught a glimpse of the interspatial ring. No! She had a way! She still had the bottle of potion that her father had given her to upgrade her water bloodline¡­ Being able to upgrade her water bloodline and expand her skill points, was Feng Zhi¡¯s only chance! ¡°This is?¡± The demon dragon saw the bottle of potion that Feng Zhi took out and was astonished. ¡°Breakthrough potion?!¡± Feng Zhi¡¯s lips curled into a smile. ¡°You saw through it.¡± Outside the house, a strong wind suddenly blew, and the bamboo forest danced wildly with it. The shadows that were projected on the paper windows were hideous and terrifying. Feng Zhi opened the potion bottle and drank it up without any hesitation. A few drops of liquid dripped from the corner of her mouth. She wiped it away with the back of her hand, closed her eyes, and sat cross-legged on the couch, feeling the potion flowing through her veins¡­ All of a sudden, she felt a sharp pain! ¡°Ah!!¡± Feng Zhi cried out in shock, pressing her chest in pain. A burning sensation gradually spread through her chest, and that uncontrollable spiritual energy flowed in all directions in her body, colliding with each other, making it difficult to control! Feng Zhi struggled to hold on, wanting to use her fingers to guide the spiritual vein¡­ However, she realized that she could not bend her fingertips at all. All the muscles in her body seemed to freeze in an instant, and only her consciousness was clear! She felt a series of rumbling sounds coming from her ears. The pain that tore through her muscles and bones that were about to be shattered came once again! Feng Zhi could not hear the demon dragon¡¯s cry at all. She could only grit her teeth and endure the intense pain again and again! The potion could allow a person to forcefully advance their bloodline, but there was also a possibility of danger! Could it be that there was a one in ten thousand chance that she would bump into it? Feng Zhi smiled bitterly. It seemed that her fate was really pitiful! It was a pity that the demon dragon had finally found someone that it could devour. This time, it was going to be disappointed! Feng Zhi gradually lost consciousness and fell on the bed, unconscious. After an unknown period of time, Feng Zhi seemed to hear the sound of plants growing. It was as if she had woken up and was gasping for breath¡­ The manic qi in her body had turned into dew-like spring water that nourished her entire body! She suddenly opened her eyes and felt her vision become clearer. She could even hear the sound of plants growing outside the door! Feng Zhi got up, held her breath, adjusted the spiritual energy around her, and chuckled. She was still alive! She picked up two bowls of water weakly and gulped them down. Feng Zhi heard the demon dragon¡¯s voice mixed with some hoarseness as it said. ¡°Girl! You¡¯re so lucky!¡± ¡°Why? Are you worried about me?¡± Thinking about it, she knew that it must be sweating for her. The demon dragon was a little embarrassed. It cleared its throat and said awkwardly, ¡°I was afraid that you would die, and I would have no food to eat!¡± Feng Zhi could not be bothered to expose it. She calmed herself down and wanted to check if her bloodline had advanced to another level! When she looked inside her qi center, she was shocked by the scene in front of her. A green ball of light had appeared in her body at some point and was slowly rotating! ¡°What¡­ is going on?¡± Feng Zhi was bewildered. The demon dragon tried its best to control its excitement. Its voice that had changed tone revealed its surprise and joy! ¡°I knew it! I was right! You little girl, you are indeed the chosen one!¡± ¡°This is a ball of light with a wood-type bloodline!¡± The demon dragon looked at Feng Zhi, who was still in a daze, and said, ¡°you have awakened the second bloodline!¡± ¡°What?¡± Feng Zhi blinked and shook her head. ¡°No, I¡¯ve never heard of anyone with a second bloodline!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right!¡± The demon dragon laughed wildly. ¡°No one in this world can have two bloodlines, unless¡­¡± ¡°You are the possessor of all bloodlines!¡± The demon dragon wished it could transform into its original form and fly wildly. It roared loudly and immediately explained, ¡°now that you have awakened the wood-type bloodline, this means that you will definitely awaken the five elements bloodline in the future! You will be one of the few, perhaps the only, powerhouses on this continent who possess both the all-type bloodline and the god of destruction bloodline!¡± Feng Zhi looked at the three light balls in her body, helping each other to purify and absorb the spiritual energy. She laughed loudly. ¡°God, don¡¯t cut me off!¡± Her eyes were slightly red from excitement. She clenched her fists and said hatefully! Chapter 27 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Ecstatic, excited, and delighted, Feng Zhi vented all kinds of emotions, and then slowly regained her rationality. She picked up the medicine bottle that was scattered on the ground, put it away, and put it into her interspatial ring to avoid attracting other attention and suspicion. Feng Zhi helped up the table and chair that had fallen to the ground and heard the demon dragon say excitedly. ¡°According to common sense, to awaken the second bloodline, you need to raise the first bloodline to the maximum level¡­ sigh, forget it, common sense is useless to a little girl like you!¡± ¡°It seems that this bottle of medicine helped you awaken the bloodline in your body and created a miracle!¡± The demon dragon could not control its emotions and hummed a little tune, wishing it could drink a bucket of wine to celebrate. ¡°I¡¯ve lived for thousands of years and have never seen a five elements bloodline awaken the water element first! Most of them have awakened the fire element bloodline!¡± ¡°Hahahaha, you¡¯re really unprecedented!¡± Feng Zhi, who was sitting cross-legged on the couch, suddenly opened her eyes when she heard the dragon¡¯s teasing. She took out a soft whip from her sleeve, wrapped it around her palm, and tightened it. She raised her eyebrows slightly and squeezed out a question from between her teeth. ¡°Whose blessing is this?¡± The demon dragon was instantly embarrassed. It coughed and choked, then coaxed with an apologetic smile. ¡°It¡¯s all fate!¡± Feng Zhi snorted coldly and could not be bothered to argue with it! If the demon dragon¡¯s original body had appeared in front of her at this moment, she would definitely grab its tail, pull it up, and swing it around twice to vent her anger! The demon dragon could not help but shudder. It said fawningly, ¡°consider it that I¡¯ve let you down!¡± ¡°How about I teach you a set of cultivation techniques to cultivate the wood-elemental bloodline?¡± It guessed Feng Zhi¡¯s temperament and suggested. Each of the five elements¡¯ bloodlines had its own cultivation techniques. The slightest carelessness would affect the host and cause irreversible damage! The stronger one was, the more cautious one had to be! ¡°Meditate and sit cross-legged. Do not use the surrounding spiritual energy to cultivate the wood-elemental bloodline!¡± ¡°You are different from ordinary wood-elemental bloodlines. You need pure spiritual energy from the ground to nourish and harmonize. The bamboo forest outside the Academy is a good place for cultivation. Try to absorb spiritual energy from the ground and see if you can succeed¡­¡± The demon dragon lowered its voice, afraid of disturbing Feng Zhi. Cultivation depended on one¡¯s talent, as well as the surrounding environment and conditions! The spiritual energy around East Summer Academy was dense, and the wood-elemental spiritual energy gradually surrounded Feng Zhi. The green smoke enveloped her within the fog sphere and suspended her in mid-air. She was not affected at all. She poured all the spiritual energy in her qi center into the green light sphere! In an instant, a beam of light shot out from her forehead. The shadow of a few vines grew out from her fingertips and quickly spread out before disappearing again! Feng Zhi landed steadily on the ground. The demon dragon said in relief, ¡°congratulations, little girl. Your wood-type bloodline has successfully advanced to tier 1!¡± She felt light all over her body. She was so clear-headed that she did not feel tired! She took out the Ice Arrow skill book from her space. She flipped her fingers and recited the incantation silently. Then, she used her skill points to level it up to tier 1. Raising her hand, an icicle as thick as a wrist shot out and accurately pierced into the huge rock that was thirty feet away from the window. One, two, three seconds later, the huge rock shattered into powder¡­ ¡°Its lethality is indeed not bad!¡± Feng Zhi was satisfied. She raised her head and looked at the full moon hanging in the night sky. Clenching her soft whip tightly, she thought to herself, ¡®father, mother! Wait for me!¡¯ ¡­ The next day, in the East Summer Academy canteen. Feng Zhi was sitting in a corner. When she heard the exclamations from the surroundings and saw the azure-colored clothes in her line of sight, she frowned and looked up. ¡°Classmate, can I sit here?¡± Chu Yao pretended not to recognize her and sat down with a faint smile. Their eyes met, and Feng Zhi could see the intention in his eyes. ¡°Classmate Feng Zhi, this dish tastes pretty good. Why don¡¯t you try it?¡± Chu Yao slowed down his movements and placed a chicken leg on Feng Zhi¡¯s plate¡­ Instantly, countless female students shot jealous and resentful gazes at Feng Zhi! This guy! He was obviously trying to dig a hole for her. What a bad taste! It was simply too boring! Feng Zhi got up and wanted to stay away from him. However, Chu Yao still used a voice that only the two of them could hear and lightly threw out a sentence. ¡°You¡¯re in a hurry to leave? Don¡¯t you want to hear where the fragments of the Philosopher¡¯s stone are? You¡¯ve really let down my good intentions!¡± ¡°¡­¡± Feng Zhi was vigilant as she scrutinized Chu Yao and asked, ¡°how can I trust you?¡± ¡°That day at the auction, you just happened to be lucky, but I left after hearing the news¡­¡± Chu Yao lifted up the hem of his clothes and elegantly flipped open the paper fan, covering half of his face. He narrowed his eyes and pointed at the bench opposite with a hint of a smile as he asked, ¡°do you want to sit down? You won¡¯t be at a disadvantage.¡± ! Feng Zhi hated the feeling of being threatened and led around by the nose! However, she had no choice but to sit down in a fit of pique. A cold light shot out from her eyes as she asked, ¡°who the hell are you?!¡± Chapter 28 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°I¡¯m someone who can help you.¡± Chu Yao¡¯s smile disappeared. Across the dining table in the dining hall, he was surrounded by a mist that Feng Zhi could not see through. ¡°You need the Philosopher¡¯s Stone to cultivate the god of destruction bloodline, but its whereabouts are extremely difficult to find!¡± ¡°I can help you get the Philosopher¡¯s Stone directly so that you don¡¯t have to go through all the trouble and hassle in the middle to cultivate directly!¡± Chu Yao¡¯s tempting proposal made Feng Zhi¡¯s heart waver, but she remained vigilant. The Philosopher¡¯s Stone was something that all the cultivators on the continent wanted! ¡°Why are you willing to hand it over to me?¡± She admitted that she was not familiar with Chu Yao to such an extent. He had helped her solve her crisis time and time again! ¡°Of course, I¡¯m not a philanthropist. I just want to make a deal with you!¡± ¡°You can take the Philosopher¡¯s Stone as my sincerity and a stepping stone. Think about it carefully. This is a good deal.¡± Chu Yao knew that he could not muddle through, so he decided to lay his cards on the table. He leaned back, closed the paper fan, and tapped his fingertip lightly. Feng Zhi furrowed her brows and thought quickly. Other than relying on the Feng family, she had nothing to gain from the reputation of the young miss of the Feng family! Could it be that he wanted to¡­ Chu Yao sensed that something was wrong with her expression and quickly stopped her. ¡°Don¡¯t! Don¡¯t misunderstand!¡± ¡°When you cultivate to the seventh level of the god of destruction bloodline, I will need a drop of your blood! Just one drop will do.¡± ¡°If you agree, I will naturally do my best to help you in the future. Not only will it be the Philosopher¡¯s Stone, but there are other aspects as well¡­¡± Chu Yao immediately reverted to his peacock-like appearance, causing Feng Zhi to be slightly stunned. Could this be a trap? In the cave, the demon dragon had lured her step by step, causing her to end up in this situation! Could Chu Yao be plotting against her! But with her ability, when could she advance! When could she transform into a powerhouse and protect her parents! She needed to make a choice! ¡°Alright, I agree!¡± Feng Zhi nodded her head in agreement after some hesitation. Chu Yao was not surprised. He bit his fingertip and used his blood to draw a pattern on his palm. ¡°The contract has been formed. You can not go back on it. Think carefully!¡± ¡°Long-winded!¡± Feng Zhi transformed into an ice blade and cut her palm. She raised her hand and held Chu Yao¡¯s. Her palm was warm. The blood vessels had fused and the blood contract had been formed! A red mole of the same appearance appeared between the thumb and forefinger of both of them! A cool breeze blew, lifting two strands of hair from Feng Zhi¡¯s temples, revealing her bright side profile¡­ ¡°Let go!¡± After the blood bond was formed, Feng Zhi saw that Chu Yao was still holding her hand, and she reprimanded him coldly! Chu Yao felt a little reluctant to part with her when his fingers were separated, and he subconsciously rubbed the remaining warmth on his palm. ¡°In the Academy, it¡¯s better to keep a low profile. Don¡¯t always have conflicts with other people.¡± Chu Yao somehow said these words, but Feng Zhi did not care. ¡°I¡¯m not afraid of anything!¡± She was strong-willed and stubborn. Chu Yao understood that it was useless to say more. He took out a fragment of the Philosopher¡¯s Stone from his pocket and handed it to Feng Zhi. ¡°It¡¯s our first time working together. Consider it a gift.¡± ¡°!¡± Feng Zhi was overjoyed and quickly put it into her interspatial ring. The surrounding students were not in the mood to eat at all. They wanted nothing more than to perk up their ears and eavesdrop on their conversation. Unfortunately, they were too far away and their skills were too shallow. They could only open their eyes wide and analyze the movements and subtle changes in their expressions! ¡°They seem to be exchanging something!¡± ¡°Holding hands? Pui! Feng Zhi must have used some dirty tricks to deceive Chu Yao!¡± ¡°No, what did Chu Yao give her? That¡¯s a fragment of the Philosopher¡¯s Stone!¡± Some of the students cried out in surprise and covered their mouths. It was like a stone thrown into the undercurrent, instantly stirring up whirlpools! ¡°I¡¯m telling you! Pretending to be cold and aloof is all for the sake of getting the Philosopher¡¯s Stone, breaking through that stupid water-type bloodline, and selling her body to Chu Yao!¡± ¡°Hehe, seeing how she took the initiative to be friendly with Chu Yao, what¡¯s the difference between her and the women in the brothel?¡± ¡°It¡¯s really unlucky to be classmates with her! She should be in the slave camp, only suitable for her!¡± A few girls were slandering her randomly out of jealousy. The sound of their voices grew louder and louder, and the discussion became more and more unpleasant, unable to enter her ears. Chu Yao left first. Some girls looked at Feng Zhi who was alone, and carried their dinner plates towards her! ¡°¡­¡± Five steps away, Feng Zhi sensed the girl¡¯s thoughts. She picked up two rice grains and put them between her teeth. The fragrance of rice filled the air. ¡°I¡¯m not looking for trouble, but others are looking for me. How troublesome!¡± Just as the girl was about to flip the tray over and slam it on her head, Feng Zhi stood up and blocked it. The tray fell on the girl¡¯s head¡­ ¡°Ah!!¡± The girl shouted! Chapter 29 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°Feng Zhi! I¡¯ll kill you!!¡± Vegetable soup flowed down from the top of her head. The girl rubbed her eyes randomly and smelled the smell of oil! Her frosty dress was stained by the turbid yellow vegetable soup. There were a few vegetable leaves hanging on her shoulders and between her eyebrows. She was in an extremely sorry state! She tried her best to take them off, but she realized that her vision was blurry. Her hands felt sticky and she kept retching! The students who wanted to watch the show were stunned by the turn of events, but in the next second, they felt pity and pity for her. They started to laugh softly as if they were watching a good show. There were even a few people who covered their noses and mouths as they looked at her with disdain. ¡°You¡¯re courting death!¡± The girl picked up her long sword and charged straight at Feng Zhi. She turned sideways and dodged. She picked up the peanuts and shot them at her wrist. The long sword fell to the ground and fell into the soup and leftovers¡­ ¡°In school, you are not allowed to fight in private!¡± ¡°I advise you to eat more walnuts to nourish your brain. Don¡¯t become someone else¡¯s scapegoat! They all hate me. Why do you let them command you to attack me?¡± ¡°At this moment, you have been humiliated. Where are they now? Have they come to help you?¡± Feng Zhi laughed in her heart. When she saw the girl¡¯s flickering eyes, she shook her head. ¡°Pitiful!¡± ¡°Nonsense! Feng Zhi, don¡¯t be happy too early! I will return the grudge I incurred today sooner or later!¡± The girl¡¯s clamorous voice came from behind, but Feng Zhi did not care. In this world, there were too many people who wanted to kill her, seek revenge on her, and trample her under their feet! However, no one would ever succeed! ¡­ In the elemental class, the teacher stood on the stage and swept his gaze across the many new students. When he saw Feng Lan, he could not help but reveal an expression of admiration. As expected of the strongest genius young lady of the Feng family¡¯s next generation! Feng Zhi sat in a corner, flipping through her textbooks in boredom. ¡°There are some new students! Their foundations are weak, and they still have to be perfunctory in class. In the future, they will definitely be trampled under the feet of others! Eliminated from East Summer Academy!¡± The teacher wished he could throw Feng Zhi out directly. Words of derision and ridicule escaped from his mouth, almost poking her in the nose and scolding her! Feng Zhi did not mind. She held her chin, looked at him lazily, and yawned. ¡°Today, I will teach you how to condense the surrounding spiritual energy elements!¡± ¡°This is the most ordinary attack. It does not require any additional skills. I will demonstrate it a little, and you can try it out¡­¡± The teacher swung his arm around and faced his palm, condensing a ball of light! The students cried out in surprise and tried one after another. Only Feng Lan and Feng Zhi did not move, as if they were thinking. The teacher observed the progress of the students and corrected their mistakes. He glanced at Feng Zhi and said rudely, ¡°this kind of ordinary attack has different strengths and weaknesses. The cohesion of the fire-type bloodline is the strongest, while the water-type bloodline is the weakest. Some students, if you can¡¯t condense it, don¡¯t be discouraged.¡± ¡°This is something that was already destined when your bone and blood awakened!¡± The teacher secretly pointed out something, and the surrounding people burst into laughter. Feng Lan also raised the corners of her lips in ridicule. ¡°Coincidentally! Our class has fire-type bloodlines and water-type bloodlines. Why don¡¯t we invite the two students to come on stage and demonstrate the difference to everyone!¡± The teacher deliberately wanted to embarrass Feng Zhi! He just could not stand it. She was obviously the weakest of the water bloodlines, but Feng Zhi was always able to put on that haughty attitude! ¡°Teacher, I don¡¯t want to make things difficult for my sister¡­¡± Feng Lan pretended to defend her as she said this. Feng Zhi sneered, stood up, and walked straight to the stage. She tilted her head and asked, ¡°What? Good sister, are you afraid?¡± ¡°What am I afraid of! I just want to give you some face!¡± Feng Lan was instantly enraged and walked to her side. ¡°Don¡¯t make excuses when you lose later!¡± She lowered her voice and said sarcastically. ¡°What a coincidence! I¡¯ll leave this sentence to you!¡± Feng Zhi raised her eyebrows. The two of them condensed the surrounding spiritual energy almost at the same time¡­ The classroom¡¯s windows made banging sounds as the strong airflow collided with each other. Feng Zhi and Feng Lan¡¯s clothes fluttered in the wind, and the light ball in their palms gradually took shape. The teacher was delighted to see that Feng Lan had successfully condensed a light ball the size of a palm! As expected of the Feng family¡¯s fire-element bloodline. She was able to condense such a successful light ball at the beginning of learning! Soon, she would definitely become a powerhouse! ¡°Look! How is this possible?¡± He was just about to praise her when he heard his classmates exclaim. He turned his head and saw the blue light ball in Feng Lan¡¯s hand. It was more than twice as big as Feng Lan¡¯s. Due to the depletion of energy, Feng Lan could not hold on any longer. Her lips gradually lost their color. However, Feng Lan did not put in any effort. She still had the leisure to remind Feng Lan. ¡°You are too impatient. Cracks have appeared on the ball of light. Don¡¯t condense it again¡­¡± ¡°Otherwise, wouldn¡¯t it be a disgrace if it blows itself up?¡± Feng Lan gritted her teeth in anger. ¡°There¡¯s no need¡­ For you to remind me!¡± ¡°Stop! Stop!¡± Seeing this, the teacher hurriedly ran to the lectern to stop her and shouted! Chapter 30 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Feng Zhi retracted her hand and looked at her teacher proudly. ¡°Seems like condensing spiritual energy doesn¡¯t have anything to do with bloodline? In the future, you should think about what you say before speaking!¡± ¡°Otherwise, I wonder how many students will feel inferior because of your words and their future prospects will be affected!¡± This was clearly a slap to his teacher¡¯s face. He could not bear to lose face! He wished that he could directly fight with Feng Zhi and teach her a lesson! But after all, there were differences between teacher and student. He could not really do anything to Feng Zhi. He could only defend Feng Lan in public. ¡°What you have just condensed is just a phantom. It doesn¡¯t have any offensive strength!¡± ¡°Even though it looks scary, it¡¯s far inferior to Feng Lan. There¡¯s no need to show off like this. Don¡¯t get smug! Be humble¡­¡± Feng Zhi was amused by his forceful attempt to save face. She narrowed her eyes and stretched out her voice pitifully, ¡°oh? So that¡¯s how it is¡­¡± ¡°If you don¡¯t believe me, then I¡¯ll prove it to you!¡± The teacher cleared his throat and looked at Feng Lan, saying, ¡°both of you condense a light ball to attack me, so you can see the difference!¡± Wow! The students below the stage were in high spirits and cheered! Feng Lan adjusted her breathing and slowly condensed a light ball with graceful movements. The scorching hot spiritual energy raised the temperature of the classroom by a lot. She narrowed her eyes and suddenly pushed out a palm wave, and the light ball went straight for the teacher! The teacher raised his hand and stopped her. ¡°Not bad! Feng Lan is indeed talented and intelligent, and her comprehension ability is very strong. She just thought of adding some fire-type skills into the light ball!¡± ¡°At this age, she can be considered an outstanding person! The students should treat her as a role model!¡± The teacher¡¯s praise made Feng Lan smile and she looked at Feng Zhi proudly! She wanted to see how Feng Zhi would deal with a real battle! ¡°Are you ready?¡± Feng Zhi stood opposite the teacher and asked softly. She closed her eyes and pinched her index finger lightly. The water droplets in the classroom rose into the air and turned into spiritual energy, rushing towards Feng Zhi and gradually condensing in her palm! This ball of light was different from Feng Lan¡¯s floating surface, solid and solid! It made the teacher feel even more alarmed! The temperature in the classroom rapidly dropped, and even the places that were close to Feng Zhi were covered in ice! She opened her eyes as if a king had descended into the world. The moment she looked at the teacher, he felt a wave of fear rising from within his heart! How terrifying! ¡®Bang¡­¡¯Feng Zhi flicked her fingertip lightly, and the ball of light flew towards the teacher. He used both his hands to defend himself, but he still staggered two steps and barely managed to catch it. The frozen spot on his palm was left with traces of trauma! The teacher quickly used his wide sleeves to cover it up, pretending to be calm! ¡°You! How can you ambush me!¡± As a teacher, under the watchful eyes of his classmates, he wanted to regain his face! But Feng Zhi did not give him a chance. There was almost no time for him to catch his breath, and she easily condensed the ball of light again, looking at him with interest. ¡°Teacher, when you are ready, let me know!¡± ¡°Let¡¯s try again?¡± The three of them were in a deadlock. The teacher¡¯s face was livid. He completely detested Feng Zhi! He swore! He would never let Feng Zhi stay in East Summer Academy! He would do everything to chase away such a detestable girl! ¡°Sister! Don¡¯t try to be brave! We are learning the elemental lessons. You always use brute force to hold on. We can tie now, but you won¡¯t be able to take advantage of us in the future! It¡¯s better to follow the teacher¡¯s teachings and study hard to cultivate!¡± Feng Lan stood out, and with just a few words, she attributed her teacher¡¯s defeat to her brute force! Heh, this was a good excuse! To be able to make her mention it repeatedly, and even fool people would believe it! Seeing Feng Lan move up the stairs, teacher naturally pretended to be magnanimous and waved his hand, saying, ¡°you are eager to prove yourself, and I won¡¯t argue with you. Go back quickly and train according to the techniques imparted to you!¡± He flicked his sleeves and felt a faint pain in his palm. He frowned and endured it. ¡°If you continue to look for shortcuts and rely on a mere water-type bloodline, you definitely won¡¯t be able to reach tier 1,3-star in the test!¡± ¡°Even if you achieve it, you will definitely suffer in the training mystic realm! I advise you to train well with Feng Lan!¡± ¡°When the time comes, you can also lose a little better!¡± After the teacher finished speaking, the students also recovered from their shock and looked at Feng Zhi with disdain. ¡°You won by relying on your little tricks! How dirty!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! Feng Lan is the genius young lady of the Feng family, the successor who has awakened her fire attribute bloodline. Did you see the red ball of light that she condensed? It¡¯s too beautiful!¡± Feng Zhi did not get angry but laughed instead, and even felt a little sympathetic! They lived in their own world and did not want to believe the truth. Instead, they used all kinds of reasons and excuses to cover up the truth! ¡°Hey, girl! You didn¡¯t use your full strength, did you?¡± The demon dragon sensed that she was in a bad mood, so he chimed in and teased her. Chapter 31 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation It was a school farce. Even though Feng Zhi pretended to be fine, her mood was inevitably affected by it. The demon dragon advised her to go to the market. She might be able to pick up some treasures and come across some unexpected surprises. If not, she could take it as a distraction to relieve her boredom! Feng Zhi knew what it was thinking. With a few gold coins in her pocket, she went to the tea stall to sit idly¡­ It seemed that the people were busy making a living. The demon dragon could not help but say, ¡°it¡¯s been a long time since I¡¯ve seen so many people! Thinking back to those years¡­¡± Before it could finish its sentence, it heard Feng Zhi chuckling, and it coughed dryly. ¡°Alright, arrogant little girl!¡± ¡°Because of the isolation and encirclement of those idiots, I was depressed. I was so ugly that I could squeeze a few flies to death between my eyebrows!¡± The demon dragon snorted coldly. Its tone was full of contempt for the world as it said, ¡°back then, many so-called righteous people sealed me in the cave. The evil people used rumors to make the people want to kill me. Every single one of them is thousands of times more painful than what you are suffering now!¡± ¡°But I¡¯m not willing! I have to get back my hatred and let the truth be revealed to the world!¡± The demon dragon stared at Feng Zhi¡¯s relaxed expression and continued, ¡°if you have a path in your heart, it¡¯s fine if you persevere. Why do you have to remember the dirty people?¡± ¡°¡­¡± The haze that filled Feng Zhi¡¯s heart gradually dissipated because of its advice. She said softly, ¡°thank you very much.¡± ¡°Ahem, the bookstall ahead is having a clearance sale. It must be cheap. Let¡¯s go and take a look!¡± The demon dragon felt awkward and immediately changed the topic. It added, ¡°I was afraid that you would worry too much and delay things. I didn¡¯t want to help you!¡± Feng Zhi could not be bothered to bicker with him. She walked briskly to the bookstall and saw a familiar face. It seemed to be the stall owner who sold the freezing spell that day! ¡°Miss, what do you want to buy this time? A healing skill?¡± The stall owner narrowed his Phoenix eyes and looked at her with interest. Feng Zhi squatted down and carefully picked out two skill books for the use of wood-type bloodlines. She took out five gold coins and threw them into his broken bowl. Since she had awakened the second bloodline, instead of wasting it, she might as well learn some skills to spare. ¡°You¡­¡± The stall owner was shocked. ¡°Little girl, you can¡¯t just buy these skills randomly. Each element has its own skill and weapon. Although you can mix them up, if you choose a skill that is different from your own bloodline, it will greatly weaken the power of the skill.¡± Was this little girl stupid? She clearly had a water bloodline. Feng Zhi did not want to say more and smiled. ¡°I¡¯m buying it for my friend.¡± She wanted to put the book away, but a hand suddenly appeared out of nowhere and pressed down on her! Feng Zhi¡¯s fingertips instantly turned into two icicles. She bent down and twisted the person¡¯s arm. Just as she was about to use her killer move, she felt her hand loosen¡­ ¡°Wow, what a coincidence!¡± ¡°This little girl is really vicious!¡± Chu Yao opened the paper fan and appeared out of nowhere with a chuckle. Feng Zhi frowned. His movements just now were so fast that she could not even see it clearly! If they really fought, she was afraid that¡­ she would not be able to defeat him! Seeing that she had withdrawn her fighting spirit, Chu Yao bent down and carefully read the words on the scroll in her hand. He asked, ¡°What? Are you going to do something new?¡± Feng Zhi sighed. How could she bump into him everywhere? Whenever she bumped into this peacock, nothing good would happen! It was simply the reincarnation of the god of plagues! ¡°Beating around the bush¡­ Why don¡¯t you just ask me why I want to buy a wood-type skill!¡± Feng Zhi pushed him away and said snappily. Chu Yao quickly chased after her and walked side by side. His eyes were full of smiles as he asked, ¡°then, will you tell me?¡± ¡°I bought it for my roommate. Why? Are you not allowed to?¡± Feng Zhi stopped in her tracks and looked at Chu Yao in annoyance. She warned, ¡°in the Academy, you¡¯d better pretend that you don¡¯t know me and keep your distance!¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want to be entangled by those fangirls and targeted because of you¡­¡± Chu Yao was stunned for a moment before he laughed. He placed his hand gently on her shoulder and asked ambiguously, ¡°are you jealous?¡± ¡°Stop talking nonsense!¡± Feng Zhi looked sideways and her ears itched slightly. There were hawkers selling candied haws around. Chu Yao took out some silver pieces and bought a string of candied haw. He stuffed it into Feng Zhi¡¯s hand and said. ¡°Consider it my apology!¡± ¡°Who wants it?¡± Feng Zhi frowned and wanted to throw it away, but for some unknown reason, she took a bite. It was so sweet! It tasted a little like when she was young¡­ ¡°I¡¯ll give you two.¡± She stood there thoughtfully, picked one and handed it to Chu Yao. She was in a good mood. In the distance, Gu Yi came out of the restaurant and happened to see Feng Zhi and Chu Yao sharing the food intimately. He was so jealous that his eyes were burning! Ever since Chu Yao entered the school, he had stolen his limelight everywhere! It was even rumored that he was entangled with Feng Zhi and the two of them had hooked up! Gu Yi could not hold it in any longer and quickly walked between the two of them, blocking their line of sight. He mocked, ¡°Feng Zhi! You¡¯re the daughter of the Feng family¡¯s patriarch. How can you hang out with a bunch of shady characters? What a joke!¡± ¡°Since you¡¯re already in the Academy, I advise you to cultivate properly so as to avoid the fate of being sent to the slave camp!¡± Feng Zhi was so angry that she laughed when she heard his scolding. She asked coldly, ¡°who do you think you are? Are you here to discipline me?¡± Chapter 32 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation ¡°Gu Yi! Before you slander others, take a look in the mirror and see what you look like!¡± ¡°Remind me to focus on my cultivation in the Academy? You drink every day and spend money extravagantly. Sooner or later, the news will reach the head of the Gu family. Be careful of family discipline! I heard that when you were beaten as a child, you would cry and beg for mercy!¡± Feng Zhi retorted on the spot. Gu Yi wanted to open his mouth a few times, but he could not find a way to refute her! The people who were watching the show pointed at Gu Yi and discussed. They even dragged the Gu family out to complain. Gu Yi pointed at Feng Zhi and growled, ¡°you¡­ You are intimate with a man of unknown origin on the street! Do you know how to spell shame?¡± Hehe, he could not win against her. Now he was throwing dirty water on her face and spreading rumors? ¡°Unknown origin? Then young master Gu, quickly find a physician to treat that pair of blind eyes. This person is a student of East Summer Academy just like you and Me!¡± ¡°Why would he open his mouth to slander me?¡± ¡°Moreover, when I awakened my water-type bloodline, you chose to break off the engagement with me and instead engaged to my second sister who awakened her fire-type bloodline. Even if I have feelings for him between a man and a woman, what identity do you use to discipline me? Brother-in-law?¡± Feng Zhi sneered. The mothers-in-law and aunts around her understood and quickly scolded Gu Yi for being an unfaithful man. They wanted to stand up for her! Some even took out some rotten leaves and rotten eggs and threw them at Gu Yi. He could not withstand them and could only flee in a panic¡­ After running for a long distance, Gu Yi still did not forget to turn his head and shout, ¡°just you wait!¡± ¡°Hahaha¡­¡± Feng Zhi heard this and saw Chu Yao cupping his hands and bowing deeply to her. He said, ¡°thank you, young miss, for clearing my name!¡± ¡°Who helped you? You¡¯re so thick-skinned! Don¡¯t follow me anymore¡­ It¡¯s so troublesome!¡± Feng Zhi¡¯s ears turned red. She flicked her sleeves and went in the opposite direction. Chu Yao stopped where he was and waved his paper fan gently. The corners of his lips curled up. He lowered his head and pinched the half-melted candied haw in his palm¡­ ¡­ The next day, in the canteen. Feng Zhi had just sat down when the tray was flipped over by someone. She frowned and revealed a look of displeasure. The person who came was the senior sister who had picked on her on the street two days ago, Qing Ruo. ¡°Feng Zhi, aren¡¯t you shameless! You keep saying that you¡¯re a stranger for canceling the engagement with Gu Yi! Yet, you¡¯re thinking of ways to meet him by chance!¡± ¡°You¡¯re simply self-belittling! How can you still have the cheek to sit here!¡± Qing Ruo gritted her teeth in hatred. Her almond-shaped eyes looked as if they were about to spit out some fire as she scolded. She heard that Gu Yi had taken the initiative to speak to Feng Zhi in the marketplace yesterday. There was even a hint of jealousy in his words, and she could not help but feel jealous and resentful! She took advantage of this opportunity to take revenge on Feng Zhi! ¡°Senior Qing Ruo, Please don¡¯t blame sister. How can the deep affection that sister has for brother Gu Yi be taken back just like that? She must have lost her mind!¡± Feng Lan had the leisure to fan the flames when she saw that Feng Zhi was being made difficult! She hid behind Qing Ruo and raised her eyebrows proudly, provoking feng zhi! Feng Zhi shook her head, feeling sorry for her stupidity. Since she had delivered herself to her door, she should not blame herself.. ¡°Qing Ruo, you have to be clear. I am not the stumbling block to you wanting to be together with Gu Yi!¡± ¡°I¡¯m sure all the students have heard about the marriage contract between the Feng family and the Gu family!¡± ¡°The one who¡¯s bound by the marriage contract right now is Feng Lan. She¡¯s Gu Yi¡¯s current fianc¨¦e!¡± ¡°You¡¯re not looking for her? Instead, you¡¯re holding onto your ex-fianc¨¦e. Is there something wrong with your head?¡± Feng Zhi¡¯s fingers gently circled around her temple as she teased. Feng Lan did not expect her to say this, and her heart skipped a beat. When she met Qing Ruo¡¯s angry gaze, her smile disappeared and she immediately pretended to be wronged. ¡°Sister, I know you¡¯re unwilling, but the engagement was decided after the Gu family discussed it with the Feng family. I don¡¯t want to¡­¡± ¡°In the past, you used to scold me for brother Gu Yi, but now, how¡­¡± She deliberately squeezed out two drops of tears and bit her red lips. She sobbed and paused, cowering like a little white rabbit! When the surrounding followers saw this, they quickly gathered around and surrounded Feng Lan, protecting her in the middle. They coaxed and comforted her in a mess. There were even some people who stared fiercely at Feng Zhi and Qing Ruo and said, ¡°Feng Lan, don¡¯t cry! We will definitely not let anyone bully you!¡± Seeing that the situation was out of control, Qing Ruo naturally did not dare to provoke Feng Lan. After all, she had the support of the Feng family, her strength was not ordinary, she had the title of a genius, and she had a bunch of followers¡­ If she continued to stay here, Qing Ruo would no longer have any reason or excuse to target Feng Zhi, she would only become a joke! No matter how unwilling she was, she could only leave in anger! ¡°What a waste!¡± Feng Zhi looked at Qing Ruo¡¯s back, looked at the food on the ground, twirled her fingers, chanted a spell, and cleaned it up. Chapter 33 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation That night, at East Summer Academy. Gu Yao returned to his dormitory and saw his classmates holding wine jars with tipsy expressions on their faces. In anger, they invited him to join them for a drink. He had always hated such a scene and wanted to decline tactfully, but he vaguely heard a few people mention Feng Zhi¡¯s name¡­ Thinking back to that day when they met by chance in the streets of the city, Gu Yao turned around and decided to stay. A few boys who followed Feng Lan started to talk about the incident at the canteen. ¡°She dares to bully miss Feng Lan! She¡¯s crazy!¡± ¡°She¡¯s just a water bloodline and she¡¯s so arrogant all day long. Does she really think she¡¯s invincible?¡± ¡°That¡¯s right! Looks like we have to find an opportunity to give her a hard time! Let her know that East Summer Academy can not allow her to be arrogant!¡± The few of them used the alcohol to wave their arms as they discussed in a loud voice. Gu Yao stared at the sake in the cup as he frowned. He could not tell if what they were saying about Feng Zhi was true or if it was the Feng Zhi that he and his sister had met that day and had helped out on the street. ¡°Have you guys noticed? That Feng family¡¯s eldest miss is quite pretty!¡± ¡°Yes! When I passed by during the day, I could smell a refreshing fragrance on her body¡­¡± The student who had a cunning and crafty look on his face lowered his voice and said with a hint of lewdness. These few words, in the middle of the night, seemed to have stirred up the devil in their hearts, causing everyone¡¯s heart to be in a mess as they thought about it. ¡°Why don¡¯t we bring her to the wild¡­ as long as we cover her face, how will she know who it is?¡± ¡°When the time comes, she will deny everything. Let¡¯s see how she will have the face to continue staying in the Academy in the future!¡± ¡°This method can take revenge for Miss Feng Lan, and it can also relieve our itch. What do you think?¡± The more the student spoke, the more excited he became. The students around him gradually chimed in, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became hot. However, someone with a bit of rationality interrupted the question. ¡°In the elemental class, we have all seen how strong Feng Zhi is. Even the teacher is a little overwhelmed. With just us, if we can¡¯t control her, won¡¯t we implicate the clan? We will be expelled from the Academy!¡± ¡°That¡¯s right¡­¡± The group of people who were wavering were hesitant. The proponent looked at Gu Yao who had been silent the entire time. It was as if he had seen the solution. He patted Gu Yao¡¯s shoulder and said, ¡°Brother Gu!¡± ¡°You¡¯ve always hated Feng Zhi the most. Why don¡¯t you come with us?¡± ¡°As long as we have your help, we will definitely be able to pin Feng Zhi down! Make her unable to resist!¡± Gu Yao¡¯s ability was something that they trusted. In the Academy, he was one of the most outstanding ones and was able to fight against Feng Zhi! In the previous competition, Feng Zhi had only won in terms of brute force! ¡°Brother Gu, when we catch Feng Zhi, we¡¯ll let you do it first¡­¡± ¡°Aren¡¯t you guys tired of talking about this all day long?!¡± The silent Gu Yao suddenly lost his temper and gave everyone a fright. Everyone could see that he was acting strange and someone asked. ¡°Gu Yao, could it be that you are coveting Feng Zhi¡¯s beauty and have forgotten all your grudges with her?¡± ¡°Your sister is unable to enter the academy because of her and can only muddle along outside!¡± The few of them provoked each other and Gu Yao clenched his fists, slamming the wine bowl onto the ground as he said coldly, ¡°the Academy does not allow private fights.¡± ¡°I want to win Feng Zhi fair and square. As for what you guys want to do, I have no interest and I don¡¯t want to participate¡­¡± ¡°I¡¯m going to sleep, don¡¯t make any noise.¡± Gu Yao pulled the quilt over and covered his head, his back facing them. The students in the same dormitory did not expect Gu Yao to have such an attitude. They were a little stunned and quickly dispersed. Gu Yao was not sleepy at all. He was only thinking about their plan. Feng Zhi¡¯s appearance and her pair of aloof and cold eyes appeared in front of his eyes! ¡­ It was late at night. Feng Zhi held her soft whip and waited to meet up with ye Meng in the Deep Forest. However, she could not see her figure for a long time. Two minutes had passed since the agreed time and she felt that it was a little strange. The demon beast hunt this time was agreed upon in advance and Ye Meng would definitely not forget it! Moreover, Ye Meng was the most trustworthy person and she had never been late for even half a second! Could it be that something had happened? Feng Zhi felt uneasy, so she left a mark on the spot, intending to follow the path back to the Academy to find her¡­ After walking for a few miles, Feng Zhi heard a sound in front of her. She hid behind the tall grass and watched from afar. A few female students surrounded Ye Meng, holding their swords and pushing her shoulders with an unfriendly expression. Ye Meng stumbled, but did not dare to make a sound. ¡°What? Are you Mute? I¡¯m asking you a question!¡± The female student in the lead frowned, raised her hand and slapped Ye Meng fiercely. She said, ¡°if you don¡¯t answer, I¡¯ll throw you to the back of the mountain and feed you to the wild wolves!¡± Chapter 34 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Ye Meng covered her face and gritted her teeth but refused to reveal a single word. She said stubbornly. ¡°I¡­ don¡¯t know¡­¡± The girl in the lead snorted coldly as if she did not believe it! ¡°Do you think I¡¯m that gullible as a three-year-old kid? You live and eat with Feng Zhi, so you must know what method she used to cultivate!¡± ¡°She¡¯s the person who awakened the weakest water-type bloodline. Now that she¡¯s so powerful, she must have used an evil method!¡± ¡°Telling us is the path of justice! Are you going to hide it for her? Have you thought about the consequences of being with Feng Zhi? You¡¯ll stand against everyone!¡± They threatened. The people in front of them were all disciples from the big sects in the class, and their bloodlines were all above Ye Meng¡¯s! ¡°We don¡¯t dare to provoke Feng Zhi now, but¡­ can you beat us?¡± ¡°Feng Zhi can¡¯t be with you all the time, and she can¡¯t rely on brute force forever. We¡¯ll definitely make it¡­ difficult for you to survive in the Academy!¡± The girl pinched Ye Meng¡¯s chin and looked at her with a pained expression. Instead, she became excited! Feng Zhi secretly eavesdropped and roughly grasped the sequence of events. They must have been jealous of her cultivation and wanted to find out the secret cultivation technique from Ye Meng, but Ye Meng refused, so they deliberately took revenge! What a joke! ¡°Stop!¡± Feng Zhi leaped up and jumped in the middle of the crowd, protecting Ye Meng by her side. She took out a soft whip and whipped her on the ground. Almost instantly, two icicles appeared in her palm and pierced straight into the front of the leading girl! Just a hair¡¯s breadth away, the icicles would have pierced into her feet as a warning! ¡°If you have anything to say, feel free to ask me directly. What kind of ability is it to bully my friend?¡± Feng Zhi said in a clear voice. ¡°Fighting is not allowed in the academy. Aren¡¯t you afraid of being punished by the teacher here?¡± The female student in the lead tried her best to hold back her anger. She did not show any signs of weakness and laughed loudly. She pointed at her surroundings and said, ¡°this place is quite far from the Academy and does not belong to the Academy¡¯s territory. Moreover, there won¡¯t be any teachers coming in the middle of the night. So what if you beat her up? Naturally, no one will care!¡± ¡°Oh?¡± Feng Zhi looked around and suddenly, the corners of her mouth curled up into a smile. ¡°So no one cares¡­¡± she put away the soft whip, revealing a threatening murderous aura. The dark clouds dispersed and the moonlight shone down. Feng Zhi raised her chin slightly and turned her wrist. She glanced at the female students who were constantly retreating and asked, ¡°if that¡¯s the case, don¡¯t you want to know how I cultivate? Come and give it a try!¡± ¡°If you want to stretch your muscles and bones, I¡¯ll accompany you! It was you who hit Ye Meng, right?¡± Two streams of frost shot out from Feng Zhi¡¯s palms. The seemingly thin mist slapped the person¡¯s two mouths hard! The hair of the girl in the lead was spread out due to the impact. Her face instantly swelled up and traces of blood seeped out from the corner of her mouth! ¡°Ah!¡± The girls had established relations. ¡°Feng Zhi, I¡¯m fine! Don¡¯t be rash¡­¡± Ye Meng could feel the faint anger that Feng Zhi was exuding. She tugged at her sleeve and said softly. Feng Zhi looked back and comforted her, ¡°I know what I¡¯m doing!¡± ¡°Fighting is not allowed in the Academy!¡± The girl in the lead sensed the danger and tried to hide, but she found that it was futile! Feng Zhi did not hold back at all. Using a speed that could not be seen clearly, she grabbed the necks of a few female students nearby and threw them heavily to the ground. She stepped on them with her feet. When she saw the few people who were about to make a move, she used a freezing spell to imprison them on the spot. Condensing the surrounding spiritual energy, the water-type light ball suddenly pushed into the bellies of the few of them. They all felt a powerful impact and were in so much pain that they covered their bellies, their faces turning pale. Feng Zhi did not use her full strength, so she did not harm her life. Instead, she walked coldly to the leader of the female students who could not move and enunciated each word clearly. ¡°It was you who told me that the teacher could not see here. Why? Why Are You afraid?¡± ¡°In the future, if you dare to find trouble with my friends again, it won¡¯t be so easy to teach you a lesson today!¡± Feng Zhi supported Ye Meng. Seeing that her eyes were full of tears, she asked softly, ¡°are there any other places that are injured?¡± ¡°No.¡± Ye Meng shook her head. Since she was able to get injured and did not betray her, Feng Zhi regarded her as a friend from the bottom of her heart. Seeing that she could not gain any advantage tonight, the leading girl was filled with fear. She only hurriedly ran away, leaving behind two ruthless words as she ran. ¡°Feng Zhi, don¡¯t be complacent too early! When we get to the experiential mystic realm, I will definitely find someone and kill you to take revenge for today!¡± ¡°I¡¯ll wait.¡± Feng Zhi lifted her chin slightly. She felt a little tired of hearing these words. Those who wanted to take her life would probably not even be counted with one finger! ¡°Childish¡­¡± After they ran far away, ye Meng suddenly hugged Feng Zhi and cried pitifully. Chapter 35 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation The next day, Feng Zhi and Ye Meng walked together. Passing by the canteen, they heard a few gossipy senior sisters discussing. ¡°Last night, there seemed to be a fight in the forest. They were all in the teacher¡¯s office. It seems to be quite serious. Each of their faces were covered in color. I don¡¯t know how to punish them! They might even be kicked out of the Academy!¡± ¡°Zhi Zhi!¡± Ye Meng nervously tugged at Feng Zhi¡¯s sleeve, her brows filled with worry. Feng Zhi patted her arm lightly, trying to comfort her but before she could say anything, she saw a few senior girls running towards her. ¡°Feng Zhi, the teacher is looking for you. Come with us!¡± Feng Zhi shook her head and laughed mockingly, muttering to herself, ¡°they really dare to confess? They¡¯re really not afraid of losing face!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t worry, wait for me to come back!¡± Feng Zhi gave Ye Meng a few instructions and followed them to the office. The few female students from last night sat in a row. When they saw Feng Zhi, they subconsciously avoided her, unable to hide the fear in their eyes. The teacher scrutinized Feng Zhi and asked her to stand on the other side. Feng Zhi looked at the few female students who were in a sorry state and pretended to be concerned. ¡°Ah, what happened? It seems like someone beat us up? is the injury serious or not?¡± The leading girl spat and scolded. ¡°You sure know how to act. This is all thanks to you!¡± ¡°Teacher, it was her who beat us up in the forest outside the Academy last night. She even threatened to kill us!¡± ¡°How can we cultivate peacefully in the Academy with such a person? Teacher, please help us make a decision!¡± After they said that, the teacher¡¯s impression of Feng Zhi became even worse. He asked sternly, ¡°Feng Zhi! You¡¯ve broken the school rules repeatedly¡­¡± ¡°Wait!¡± Feng Zhi raised her hand and interrupted him. She asked, ¡°they said that I was the one who beat them up, so I beat them up? Where¡¯s the evidence?¡± ¡°There are seven or eight people sitting here, and they insist on slander me. Then, may I ask, did I have any helpers last night?¡± ¡°If not, how weak are you! For me to be able to beat you up into such a sorry state! Teacher, don¡¯t forget, I have a water bloodline!¡± The corners of Feng Zhi¡¯s lips curled up. She did not expect that her bloodline would be the best excuse for her to avoid trouble! ¡°Hehe, who doesn¡¯t know how strong your brute force is! Hitting us is easy!¡± The few girls did not care about their pride at this moment. They clung onto Feng Zhi, vowing to chase her out of the Academy! ¡°Then what are you doing in the forest late at night? A curfew gathering, isn¡¯t that even more problematic!¡± Feng Zhi directly brought up the other two school rules. Looking at the embarrassed look of the leading girl, the corners of her mouth twitched. ¡°This¡­¡± The few of them fell silent and looked at the teacher for help. The teacher opened his mouth but was unable to refute. He questioned Feng Zhi, ¡°you said that there was no fight, then show me the evidence!¡± He detested Feng Zhi to the extreme and at this moment, he spoke with prejudice. Feng Zhi felt speechless and laughed out loud in anger. ¡°They only need to say one sentence to frame me. I want to prove my innocence, but do I need to produce evidence?¡± ¡°The East Summer Academy is such a laughable place?¡± Feng Zhi was a little impatient. Just as she was about to shed all pretense of cordiality with them, she suddenly heard a voice from the door, helping her out. ¡°You want evidence? I can testify.¡± Chu Yao walked in slowly and stood beside Feng Zhi. He lowered his head and smiled at her. ¡°I was with her last night.¡± ¡°?¡± Feng Zhi narrowed her eyes. She did not understand what he was talking about! Chu Yao¡¯s eyes were gentle and affectionate. He moved closer to Feng Zhi¡¯s ear and spoke in a voice that could be heard around them. ¡°Zhi Zhi, you studied with me all night. Why can¡¯t you say it out loud? Are you afraid that people will misunderstand?¡± He gently tapped the tip of Feng Zhi¡¯s nose with his finger. His posture was intimate and flirtatious! The teacher watched as their expressions gradually turned subtle. He averted his gaze and coughed dryly twice! Feng Zhi¡¯s eyes darkened. She knew that they had definitely misunderstood. This dog man.. Although Feng Zhi despised him, she had to admit that being with Chu Yao was the easiest way to help her out. She did not hesitate anymore. ¡°I was indeed with Chu Yao last night, but it was really just studying.¡± ¡°¡­¡± Tsk, this little girl was not easy to fool. ¡°This¡­¡± The teachers looked at Chu Yao standing with his hands behind his back and looked at them coldly. They were shocked and did not dare to provoke him. They could only hurriedly say, ¡°since there is someone who can prove it last night, you can all go back. Don¡¯t mention this matter again!¡± ¡°In the future, we must not cause any more trouble! Otherwise, according to the school rules¡­¡± The teachers waved their hands and chased them out. Chu Yao covered his face with a paper fan and approached Feng Zhi. He whispered into her ear, ¡°you owe me again!¡± Chapter 36 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation In a secluded place, Feng Zhi¡¯s eyes narrowed. She raised her hand and transformed into two icicles, shooting straight at Chu Yao. While he was dodging, she rushed forward and pulled out a sharp blade without hesitation. She pressed it against his neck and asked. ¡°What exactly is your identity?¡± Feng Zhi recalled the teacher¡¯s respectful and fearful attitude toward him in the office, and her suspicion grew. Chu Yao was too mysterious to her. Sometimes, being mysterious meant danger. ¡°Little girl, is this how you treat your savior?¡± Chu Yao chuckled. ¡°¡­¡± Feng Zhi¡¯s face heated up for a moment, but in the end, she let go of his hand. She had originally planned to take advantage of Chu Yao¡¯s panic to trick him into revealing his true identity, but now it seemed that his shrewdness was far deeper than she had imagined. Forget it, at least he was really helping her now. For such a powerful person, friends were better than enemies, so Feng Zhi had no choice but to give up. ¡°I once met a teacher in the black market, and he did some ugly things for me to see, so he was a little wary and gave me some face.¡± Chu Yao flicked his sleeves as an explanation. Feng Zhi did not believe it. She raised her eyebrows and dragged out her last syllable. ¡°Is that so?¡± ¡°I¡¯m here for business!¡± Chu Yao hooked his finger and changed the topic. Seeing that Feng Zhi did not come closer, he helplessly moved to her side and took out a map that looked like a rag. ¡°I¡¯ve found the location of the fragment of the Philosopher¡¯s Stone!¡± He pointed at the place where the red paint was drawn on the map and said, ¡°It¡¯s hidden in the hinterland of the Dongxia Mountains. Do you want to go with me?¡± Feng Zhi furrowed her brows. She was excited, but she still maintained her rationality and said, ¡°Are you crazy?¡± The East Summer Mountains was the mountain range behind the East Summer Academy. It was the holy land of cultivation in the eastern border country. There were countless magical beasts of all levels gathered there! Although she had some confidence in her current strength and was working together with Chu Yao, she was only confident that she could barely make it past the outer mountain range! According to the location marked on the map, the Philosopher¡¯s Stone was in the depths of the swamp! ¡°That¡¯s right. There¡¯s a tier 2,1-star giant python guarding that place. Why? Little girl, are you afraid?¡± Chu Yao shrugged and spoke. Feng Zhi was speechless and could not help but laugh. She shook her head repeatedly as she spoke. ¡°Afraid? I¡¯ve never been afraid of anything! But if I¡¯m blindly confident, I¡¯ll lose my life!¡± ¡°There is a huge gap between you and the giant python in the eight-star heavenly moat. We have no chance of winning at all! If we rush in rashly, do you want to drag me to death with you?¡± Feng Zhi¡¯s tone was a little anxious, but Chu Yao picked up two branches and pulled them on the ground. ¡°Little girl, I can¡¯t bear to see you die in the mouth of the giant python¡­¡± ¡°Who said we are going to rush in rashly? From tomorrow onwards, you and I have to make more preparations! The giant python is a demonic beast. Even if its strength is outstanding, its intelligence is not enough!¡± ¡°As long as you and I discuss a strategy and outsmart it, we have a chance of winning!¡± ¡°Also, stock up on some medicine. If necessary, it can save your life at any time! Although we can¡¯t be fully prepared, are you willing to give up?¡± Chu Yao leaned gently against the tree, quietly waiting for Feng Zhi¡¯s answer. After about fifteen minutes, she sighed. She then looked up at Chu Yao, frowned, and muttered. ¡°Okay. I¡¯ll go with you.¡± ¡°Then it¡¯s settled. I¡¯ll wait for you at the entrance of the East Summer Mountains this weekend!¡± Chu Yao blinked and snapped his fingers. His frivolous look made Feng Zhi regret it a little! Was she really going to risk her life to team up with him? This guy was a little¡­ unreliable! ¡°Here, take it!¡± Chu Yao took out his wallet and threw it into Feng Zhi¡¯s arms. She lowered her head and weighed the money. It was not a small amount, and she was puzzled. ¡°Take the money to the market to buy some strengthening drugs, gauze, medicine, and other items. If you encounter magic crystals or things that can increase your combat power in a short period of time, you can also buy some. When necessary, you can always use them!¡± Chu Yao was thoughtful, and Feng Zhi agreed with him. However, she wanted to throw the gold coins back to him. ¡°I can buy them myself.¡± Seeing this, Chu Yao interrupted her. ¡°Don¡¯t try to be brave.¡± ¡°Do you still have money on you that you can use?¡± He asked. Feng Zhi was so embarrassed that she stared at the mud floor. This guy, he really liked to poke her heart with his words! The expenses of the East Summer Academy were expensive. The gold coins that she got from hunting demon beasts were all used to fill the hole. Now, she only had a few copper coins left! Seeing that she was unwilling to speak for a long time, Chu Yao knew that with Feng Zhi¡¯s character, she did not want to owe anyone anything. He deliberately reminded her, ¡°this money is not for you, but to save our lives. To save both of our lives!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t forget, I promised to help you get the Philosopher¡¯s Stone and help you advance in your cultivation. I have a purpose!¡± Thinking of the drop of blood that she had promised to give him, Feng Zhi¡¯s mood was slightly better. She found Chu Yao much more pleasing to the eye. ¡°You can buy some good ones! Don¡¯t choose low-quality ones and deduct the public funds!¡± Chu Yao joked in a happy mood. Feng Zhi was instantly speechless. She wished she could smash all the gold coins on his head! Chapter 37 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation In the classroom, Feng Zhi was busy sorting out the details of the strengthening and healing potions she needed for the two of them so that she could purchase them. The lecturer noticed her strange behavior and quietly approached her. Ye Meng secretly kicked her, wanting to warn her, but it was too late! Oh no.. The paper was snatched away by him! Feng Zhi stood up, wanting to snatch it away, but the lecturer held onto her arm with a ruler, looking at her with contempt and disdain. ¡°What? The day of the test is approaching and your strength is insufficient. Do you want to rely on strengthening medicine to advance in a short period of time? Do you want to stay in East Summer Academy by cheating?¡± ¡°The great Feng family has raised such a young miss. It is extremely shameful!¡± ¡°Don¡¯t blame me for not warning you. The test stone of East Summer Academy is not something that you can get away with just relying on the medicine!¡± ¡°I advise you to pack up your things as soon as possible and report this to the Feng family head. Build up a good relationship in the slave camp and suffer less!¡± The teacher had a prejudice against Feng Zhi. At this moment, every single one of his words were filled with ridicule. The surrounding students had also heard some clues and were laughing at her¡­ Seeing this, Feng Lan was unwilling to let go of any opportunity to humiliate her. She stood up and pretended to be concerned. ¡°Sister, you¡¯re so silly!¡± ¡°If you take too much of the strengthening potion, it will also damage your body!¡± ¡°It¡¯s just a test. Even if you lose, there¡¯s nothing to be sorry about! You¡¯ve already awakened your water bloodline and it¡¯s already not easy for you to be able to reach this stage!¡± ¡°Just accept your fate!¡± Feng Lan could not hide the smile on her face and looked at Feng Zhi provocatively. Her followers quickly echoed her and praised her for her kindness. Even now, they were still worried about Feng Zhi who was bullying her everywhere! Feng Zhi took a deep breath and lifted her eyes indifferently. She looked at Feng Lan and bent her fingers, deliberately raising them. ¡°It seems that you are very familiar with the taboos and consequences of taking drugs? Back then, second uncle secretly bought fire essence crystals before he awakened his bloodline. Could it be that my sister¡¯s bloodline was turned around by it?¡± ¡°You!! What nonsense are you spouting!¡± The surrounding inquisitive gazes turned to look at Feng Lan. She felt that all the secrets in her body had nowhere to hide. Gritting her teeth, she said, ¡°I was kind enough to advise sister, how could I allow you to slander me! The teacher is here, don¡¯t cause any trouble!¡± ¡°Stop arguing!¡± Seeing that they were about to fight, the teacher stepped in to mediate. After all, Feng Zhi was the only daughter of the Feng family¡¯s patriarch, so he had to pay attention to his influence. He took a deep look at her and said, ¡°it¡¯s the test day. We¡¯ll all know it at a glance!¡± ¡°However, I advise those who still harbor the idea of cheating to cultivate well! The test stone has never made a mistake in thousands of years!¡± The teacher left two harsh words and left the school hall. Feng Zhi picked up the list and put it away. Seeing Feng Lan¡¯s provocative lip language to her across the air, she could not be bothered to pay attention to it. ¡­ In the afternoon, Feng Zhi, who had just returned from purchasing medicine, saw the figures of Ye Meng and Qin Feng from afar, on the steps outside the canteen. Ye Meng covered her face and sobbed softly. She was so anxious and nervous that she bit her nails. Qin Feng, on the other hand, stood by her side like a rock. He did not know how to comfort her, silently shielding her from the scorching sunlight. ¡°What¡¯s wrong?¡± Feng Zhi came closer and sat beside Ye Meng. She seemed to have found someone to rely on. She hugged Feng Zhi and cried as she spoke intermittently. ¡°Zhi Zhi! What should I do? I originally wanted to rely on the medicine to muddle through and stay in the Academy, but now my only hope is gone! There are only two weeks left before the test. I just broke through to tier 1, 2-star. The remaining time is definitely not enough! I am definitely going to be expelled. I don¡¯t want to! I¡¯m so scared!¡± Feng Zhi suddenly remembered that when they were distributing the dormitories, Ye Meng had indeed said that she had a way! Could it be that the way was to rely on potions? Feng Zhi was a little helpless. She took out a handkerchief and made her wipe her tears. After Ye Meng had calmed down a little, Feng Zhi looked at her and asked, ¡°do you really want to stay?¡± ¡°Of course!!¡± Ye Meng was very emotional. She twisted her fingers and said in a low voice, ¡°Zhi Zhi, when I received the notice from the Academy, it was the first time I saw my parents so happy! Even if it was the result of the countdown, they wanted to show it off to all their relatives and friends around!¡± ¡°I don¡¯t want to let them down. I want to stay at East Summer Academy! become a powerhouse and let them be proud of me!¡± Ye Meng¡¯s eyes flashed with light, but it was extinguished soon after. She lowered her head and clenched her fists unwillingly. ¡°But now¡­¡± ¡°As long as you¡¯re willing, I have a way to help you.¡± Feng Zhi spoke softly and patted Ye Meng¡¯s shoulder. Qin Feng could not help but clench his sword sheath tightly when he heard this. He narrowed his eyes and waited for the second half of her sentence. ¡°But, you have to be willing to suffer a little!¡± Feng Zhi said. Chapter 38 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation Late at night, two figures appeared on the outskirts of the East Summer Mountains. Feng Zhi led Ye Meng to a sunken valley. Looking at the few demon beasts in the deep pit, she said, ¡°go down!¡± ¡°Zhi Zhi?!¡± Ye Meng was so nervous that she swallowed her saliva. Tugging at her sleeve, she shook her head. ¡°We¡¯ll form a team to fight against the demon beasts. You and Qin Feng will be in the lead. I¡¯ll assist! I can¡¯t do it!¡± Ye Meng was timid. Her legs were weak and she wanted to cry. However, Feng Zhi reminded her, ¡°there are still two weeks before the test day! Do you want to leave?¡± ¡°The East Summer Mountains is the best place to cultivate. The demon beasts will gradually increase in strength from the outside to the inside¡­ and this area is the outer area. There are only tier 1, 2-star demon beasts. With your current situation, you are more than enough to fight them!¡± ¡°Only by constantly undergoing training like a devil and relying on experience to strengthen yourself can you advance at the fastest speed! You will pass the test!¡± ¡°You said that you are not afraid of hardship and that you want to fight for the glory of your parents. Could it be all fake?¡± Feng Zhi¡¯s harsh words successfully stimulated Ye Meng¡¯s competitive spirit and fighting spirit. With tears in her eyes, she held her sword and jumped into the deep pit to fight against the demon beasts. When they were forming a team, Feng Zhi and Qin Feng had protected her extremely well, causing Ye Meng to lack battle experience! She was barely able to fight against the demon beasts for two or three rounds before she revealed her flaws and panic, making frequent mistakes! Feng Zhi crossed her arms and watched as the demon beast chased after her all over the valley. The flames burned Ye Meng¡¯s arm. She was in pain and accidentally stepped on the gravel. She twisted her ankle and fell to the ground. Seeing that the demon beast with green snot was getting closer and closer, she once again had the intention to retreat! ¡°Zhi Zhi! Save me!¡± She turned her head to look at the top of the mountain and shouted with a sobbing tone. Feng Zhi shouted sternly, ¡°stand up! You can¡¯t hide behind others forever!¡± ¡°No one can protect you for the rest of your life! If you want to become strong, do you have to kneel down and beg for mercy? Think about those students in the Academy! How did they bully you!¡± ¡°It¡¯s just a demon beast, and you¡¯re already defeated. If you don¡¯t dare to fight with it, aren¡¯t you like an ant in this life!? You can be bullied by anyone!¡± Ye Meng clenched her fists, her eyes red. She bit her red lips and forced herself to stand up, her body emitting a killing intent that was on the verge of desperation! Feng Zhi was gratified and let out a sigh of relief. She watched as she slowly and skillfully used her wood element skills to kill the first demon beast! ¡°I did it! Zhi Zhi! ¡°Ye Meng happily picked up the scattered magical crystals and skill books on the ground and wiped the sweat on her forehead. Before she had time to show off, she saw a huge and ugly demon beast running into the valley, so she quickly braced herself to fight it again! Time passed slowly, and Ye Meng never cried out again! If she was injured, she would wrap the affected area with the gauze that Feng Meng threw in and rest for a while before continuing her training! Her moves were gradually getting better, and the spiritual energy that could be condensed was purer than before. Ye Meng¡¯s improvement was visible! Meanwhile, Feng Meng was also secretly helping her. If other demon beasts came to ambush her, she would use a freezing spell to temporarily freeze them. She would wait for Ye Meng to kill the demon beast before unfreezing it, so that it would become Ye Meng¡¯s next practice target! ¡°Rest for a while!¡± Feng Zhi threw down the rope. Seeing that Ye Meng was so tired that she didn¡¯t even have the strength to speak, she just sat on the ground and panted heavily. ¡°We¡¯ll continue tomorrow! Two weeks. You¡¯ll definitely be able to successfully advance.¡± Feng Zhi handed the kettle over. Seeing that she was gulping down the water, her eyes were resolute as she said. ¡°Zhi Zhi, thank you!¡± ¡°I definitely won¡¯t let you down!¡± Their gazes met, and Feng Zhi chuckled. She rubbed the top of her head, reached out, and pulled her up! ¡°Yo¡­ who is this? First from the bottom, second from the bottom! So hardworking! Training in the East Summer Mountains?¡± The two who were about to return to the dormitory suddenly saw their classmates blocking their way, looking at them mockingly. One of Feng Lan¡¯s lackeys looked at the battered Ye Meng contemptuously and said. ¡°You can¡¯t even defeat a tier 1, 2-star demon beast?¡± ¡°If you want to stay in the Academy so much, why don¡¯t you discuss it with the teacher and find a job to clean the toilets?¡± Feng Zhi frowned and wanted to condense a light ball to teach them a lesson, but Ye Meng stopped her and said in a low voice, ¡°don¡¯t! Don¡¯t be rash!¡± ¡°Hehe, you¡¯re still thinking about her!¡± ¡°Feng Zhi is the young miss of the Feng family. If she¡¯s really not good enough, she can still spend some gold coins to buy a pile of magic crystals to advance! But what about you? You don¡¯t have any money, so there¡¯s nothing you can do!¡± The person mocked and deliberately disturbed their mood. Ye Meng gritted her teeth and pretended not to hear it. She looked at Feng Zhi and said, ¡°Zhi Zhi, let¡¯s practice a little more?¡± ¡°Okay, I won¡¯t go back. I¡¯ll keep you company and practice!¡± Feng Zhi understood the deep meaning in her eyes and smiled in relief. She jumped into the pit with Ye Meng and continued to practice! Chapter 39 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation At the entrance of the East Summer Mountains during the weekend. Feng Zhi arrived at the agreed location with the supplies she had bought on her back. Chu Yao, dressed in a tight suit and holding a sword, looked as if he had been waiting for a long time. He took out a map, pointed at the red mark, and he made a comment. ¡°The giant python is fond of sleeping. The alternation of day and night will create a perfect time for us to attack for a few hours. We need to speed up or we won¡¯t be able to make it in time!¡± ¡°Wait!¡± Feng Zhi subconsciously grabbed Chu Yao¡¯s wrist and said. Chu Yao stopped in his tracks and lowered his eyes, staring at her shaking hands. He asked, ¡°are you afraid?¡± ¡°No! I must get the Philosopher¡¯s Stone!¡± ¡°But if you and I work together, we have at most a 70 percent chance of dealing with the giant python. I hate surprises!¡± ¡°So I want to ask, do you have a friend who is trustworthy and skilled enough to go with us?¡± Feng Zhi did not sleep the entire night. After careful consideration, she came to a conclusion! However, this caused Chu Yao to burst into laughter, lamenting how naive she was at this moment? ¡°How can I have any friends in the Academy? Furthermore, if, after killing the giant python and obtaining the treasure, my greed flared up. How can you guarantee your safety?¡± The two of them were in a stalemate when they suddenly heard a sound coming from the giant rock! Feng Zhi frowned and raised her hand to shoot out a few ice arrows. The giant rock shattered into two halves. A figure rolled and dodged, shouting, ¡°it¡¯s me!¡± ¡°Qin Feng?¡± Feng Zhi stopped Chu Yao and took two steps forward. She asked cautiously, ¡°are you following me?¡± He did not answer. He only held his sword and said, ¡°you guys are going to the hinterland of the East Summer Mountains. You can take me with you!¡± Huh? Feng Zhi was puzzled. She turned around and exchanged glances with Chu Yao. ¡°You know very well what kind of ability it is for me to team up with you to hunt demon beasts. We work well together.¡± Qin Feng threw out a suggestion and reason that she could not refuse at all and continued to say, ¡°I¡¯m not interested in what you want to take or do. But after killing the python, if you get the high-level magic crystal that can be used by wood-elemental bloodlines, you have to give it to Ye Meng.¡± ¡°Her?¡± Feng Zhi looked at Qin Feng¡¯s awkward look as he moved his gaze away and immediately understood something! What people do for love in the world¡­ ¡°Alright! Let¡¯s do it together!¡± Feng Zhi clapped his hands in a straightforward manner. The three of them quickly moved forward and reached the hinterland in the evening. .. In the hinterland of the East Summer Mountains, there was a deep crevice in the ground. The surroundings were filled with thorns and three-foot-tall short trees. The giant python was coiled up in the crevice and could not be lured out! The surrounding air was filled with wisps of faint purple fog. It could cause hallucinations and cause people to indulge in the illusion of the demon barrier. The slightest carelessness would cause one to lose their lives in this place. Feng Zhi was lying in ambush. There were white bones under her feet and a few skeletons. It seemed that they were seniors! ¡°Over there!¡± Chu Yao said in a low voice, pointing at the shining scales in the crevice. Feng Zhi narrowed her eyes and checked the terrain. ¡°I¡¯ll lure the giant python out. You Two, attack from both sides and surround it!¡± ¡°Be careful!¡± ¡°Be careful!¡± Chu Yao and Qin Feng blurted out. Feng Zhi held the soft whip in her hand and lowered her body. She quietly approached the python and conjured two thick ice arrows that shot towards the python¡¯s pupils. The python, which was in deep sleep, swayed its body due to the intense pain and stood up with its tongue sticking out! It stared at Feng Zhi, which was on the verge of exploding in anger. It roared furiously and wanted to wrap her up and hang her! ¡°Hurry up! What are you waiting for?!¡± Feng Zhi¡¯s face was shocked. She could not care less about the danger as she ran towards the thicket covered in blood. The giant python writhed in pain and its killing intent grew stronger. It lifted its body and felt as if it could cover the sky. It slammed heavily on the ground, stirring up waves of dust. It looked as if it was going to crush Feng Zhi into a meat patty! ¡°Head! Hit its weak point!¡± Chu Yao reminded her sternly and Feng Zhi immediately perked up! She caught sight of the rocks on the perilous terrain, while Qin Feng used his wood-type skills to conjure up a few vines, allowing her to step on them and soar into the sky! Chu Yao held his sword, showing signs of summoning the wind and rain. He closed his eyes and chanted a chant! ¡°Today is the day you die!!¡± Blood kept flowing out of the cut on the thorns. Feng Zhi gritted her teeth and braced herself. She used all the spiritual energy in her body to condense a ball of light, conjuring an ice sword! She raised her hand and slashed at the weak point of the giant python! Boom¡­ The giant python howled in pain and fell to the ground, turning into dust. Pieces of the Philosopher¡¯s Stone, a skill book, and a few wood element high-level magic crystals appeared on the spot. Feng Zhi lay on the ground and did not get up for a long time. ¡°Are you okay?¡± Chu Yao walked up to her, reached out his hand, and pulled her up. He picked up the item and handed it to her. Feng Zhi looked at the skill book in his hand and was pleasantly surprised. She did not care about her exhaustion and took it. ¡°AOE Skill!¡± A skill that could be used with the ice arrow skill was exactly what she needed! She was really lucky! Qin Feng looked at the wood element magic crystal and cupped his fists. He nodded at Chu Yao and said, ¡°thank you.¡± Feng Zhi waved her hand. ¡°Don¡¯t worry. I¡¯ll give it to Ye Meng.¡± Chu Yao held her down and sat her down on the rock. He carefully took out some gauze and bandaged her wound. ¡°Are you still feeling unwell?¡± Feng Zhi shook her head. She felt the surging spiritual energy in her body. She peeked into her qi center and her heart could not help but beat faster. That¡¯s great! She had successfully advanced to tier 1, 3-star! Chapter 40 Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation After a short rest, the three of them set off for the Academy, fully loaded with their harvest. As they reached the outskirts of the East Summer Mountains, they ran into a few classmates along the way. Afraid that they would cause trouble, Feng Zhi called for Chu Yao and Qin Feng to temporarily hide. ¡°Hey, did you guys see that trash Ye Meng?¡± ¡°After killing a 2-star demon beast for a few days, she thought that she could advance! I saw her heading towards the 3-star demon beast area just now!¡± ¡°Second from the bottom, I¡¯m afraid she¡¯ll die there! Should we help her collect her corpse? We¡¯re classmates after all!¡± The few of them did not hold back their discussion. Their words were filled with contempt and they did not take Ye Meng¡¯s life seriously at all! Qin Feng and Feng Zhi looked at each other and cursed in their hearts! In order to speed up her advancement speed, Ye Meng went to the tier 1, 3-star demon beast area to gain experience? Qin Feng could not care less about anything else and went straight to the tier 1, 3-star demon beast area. Feng Zhi did not dare to delay and followed closely behind. She gritted her teeth and thought to herself, Ye Meng! Hold On! Roar!! The sound of the demon beast being enraged could be heard faintly! Ye Meng¡¯s ribs were injured and her right hand was in a state where she could not lift it up. However, she still tried to find the weakness of the demon beast and counter-attack! ¡°Ye Meng!¡± Qin Feng¡¯s eyes were red and he raised his sword to help. Feng Zhi rushed over and after seeing Ye Meng¡¯s condition, she shot out two icicles to block his way! ¡°Wait, don¡¯t go over for the time being!¡± ¡°You want to stop me? Ye Meng treats you as a friend! Are you going to watch her die here?¡± Qin Feng could not control his emotions and shouted. Ye Meng heard the noise and was distracted. The demon beast flipped her over and she spat out two mouthfuls of blood! Feng Zhi¡¯s heart tightened, but she was now certain that Ye Meng¡¯s life would not be in danger. She relaxed and stared at Qin Feng with burning eyes. ¡°You can help her now! Are you going to help her on the test platform as well?¡± ¡°Since Ye Meng thought of the 3-star area, she wants to rely on her own strength to successfully hunt! Don¡¯t you believe that she can succeed?¡± ¡°To truly improve! We are all in vain, she can only rely on herself!¡± Feng Zhi gritted her teeth, silently clenching her fists, encouraging Ye Meng from the bottom of her heart. She would stand guard here to ensure Ye Meng¡¯s safety, but in order to succeed, Ye Meng had to do it herself! Ye Meng had also heard these words. She weakly propped herself up from the ground and stood up! ¡°Yes! I can do it!¡± She condensed her spiritual energy and transformed into two wooden sticks with thorns. She soared into the air and stabbed towards the demon beast¡¯s eyes! The demon beast could not see anything. It violently swept across the area and a powerful force hit Ye Meng. She kept retreating! Qin Feng¡¯s eyes were red. He tried his best to restrain himself and stood on the spot! Dong! With a muffled sound, Ye Meng used her body as a shield and crashed into the demon beast¡¯s heart! Boom¡­ The demon beast instantly turned into mist and dissipated. Ye Meng¡¯s eyes were blurred as she looked in Feng Zhi¡¯s direction. She let out a breath and fell to the ground. ¡°Zhi Zhi, I won!¡± ¡°Ye Meng!¡± The few of them ran over frantically. Qin Feng carried her and ran back to the dormitory at high speed! She was severely injured. Feng Zhi helped Ye Meng take off her outer robe. She turned her head and saw Qin Feng standing there like a block of wood. She asked helplessly. ¡°You want to watch?¡± ¡°Brother Qin, wait outside! Trust Feng Zhi.¡± Chu Yao patted Qin Feng¡¯s shoulder and waited for the door to close. Feng Zhi took out a few rare herbs from her interspatial ring, along with the alchemy furnace. Recalling the alchemy method, she threw the high-level magic crystal into the furnace and twirled her fingers! The medicinal liquid boiled and the magic crystal shattered, gradually fusing into it! Feng Zhi supported the unconscious Ye Meng against the wall and poured the medicine into her mouth as she said softly. ¡°It will be a little painful. Bear with it, it will be fine soon.¡± The power of this medicine was very great, but it could help her¡­ achieve her wish! ¡°Ah¡­ it hurts! Save Me!¡± Ye Meng frowned and tossed about on the bed for an hour. Soon after, a weak green light burst out from her body and disappeared again. Feng Zhi heaved a sigh of relief. She knew that Ye Meng had advanced. Feng Zhi said in a low voice, ¡°this time, I saw your determination and decided to help you stay.¡± ¡°Recuperate well. You must work hard to become stronger. Don¡¯t let me down.¡± ¡­ On the day of the test, East Summer Academy opened up a high platform! Some of the students below the platform were proud while others were nervous. However, when they saw Feng Zhi and Ye Meng walking over together, they started discussing. ¡°The young miss of the Feng family actually still dares to appear?!¡± ¡°A few days ago, she was still cultivating in the two-star magical beast region. She must still be a tier 1, 2-star. It would be a disgrace for her to come here!¡± ¡°Just wait and see if she withdraws from the Academy! Could it be that the Feng family can still force the Academy to keep her here?¡± Towards the malicious intentions of the crowd, Feng Lan acted as if she had not heard them. She did not speak, but her calm temperament and perfect face still attracted the attention of the others. ¡°Feng Lan!¡± Soon, teacher Feng Lan was called by her name. She proudly raised her chin and walked towards the high platform. She gently placed her hand on the test stone, and the test stone shone brightly! The teacher took a look and excitedly announced, ¡°Feng Lan, tier 1, 4-star!¡± ¡°It¡¯s tier 1, 4-star! Feng Lan is too amazing! She can be so strong in a month!¡± ¡°As expected of the talented young lady of the Feng Family! That¡¯s great! In all these years, not many people can reach her level!¡± Listening to the flattery of the crowd, Feng Lan could not control the excitement and fervor in her eyes. For so long, she had relied on absorbing magic crystals to obtain the final result! This time, she wanted to crush Feng Zhi under her feet! Following that, a few more people went up to the stage to take the test. Overall, the passing rate was only 70%. Those who passed cheered and those who did not pass wiped their tears secretly. Finally¨C ¡°Feng Zhi!¡± The teacher called out Feng Zhi¡¯s name.
