…
"Then let's kill them." Mu Ningxue agreed.
Lu Zhenghe frowned slightly, a surge of indescribable dissatisfaction rising in his chest.
Why did he feel that Mu Ningxue was completely dominated by Wang Feng?
If this continued, wouldn't Wang Feng become the one with the final say in the team?
"Damn it… he's just a little stronger than us. What's so great about that!" Lu Zhenghe cursed silently, his face darkening.
As Mu Ningxue's suitor, he naturally felt unhappy about her special treatment of Wang Feng. He had always believed he was the one most suited to stand by her side, yet Wang Feng's presence now made him feel an unprecedented threat.
Wang Feng, who possessed psychic power, naturally noticed Lu Zhenghe's emotions—but he didn't take him seriously. After all, he wasn't Batman!
…
The two teams quickly reached a consensus and rushed through the tunnel.
Zheng Bingxiao summoned his own beast, the Rock Demon, to lead the way.
Though thick-skinned and massive, the Rock Demon was the slowest among beasts of its level and was commonly known as the "Big Fool." However, it was perfect as a living "bulldozer."
Behind it were two wind mages, Liao Mingxuan and Shen Mingxiao, tasked with guarding, retreating quickly, and alerting the team in emergencies.
In the middle of the formation were three light-powered mages, providing illumination and purifying the foul air.
Wang Feng, Mu Ningxue, Mu Nujiao, and others occupied the core, ready to respond to danger at any moment.
The rear was covered by the earth mages Xu Dalong and Luo Song, ensuring no surprises from behind.
The team moved in orderly fashion. The tunnel was tense, yet the formation remained precise.
Suddenly, Mu Ningxue asked softly, "What's your relationship with that girl, Mu Nujiao?"
Wang Feng looked at her in surprise and smiled. "Oh? You're interested in gossip too?"
"The way she looks at you isn't ordinary," Mu Ningxue said calmly.
How she knew this—only she could say.
Wang Feng chuckled. "Maybe it's because I'm more handsome?"
In truth, Wang Feng had been using Dream Weaving on Mu Nujiao every few days. She probably felt like she was "thinking about something in the day and dreaming about it at night." Her gaze at him couldn't be ordinary.
Mu Ningxue gave him a cold look, about to comment, when a strange cry came from the front.
"Meh!!!!"
"Something's happening!"
Zhao Manyan's radiance instantly illuminated the area, revealing several short, dwarf-like monsters wielding bone clubs charging toward them.
"They're cave demon slaves!" Qingqing recognized them immediately.
"Snort!" Wang Feng's eyes flashed silver as he coldly snatched victory.
The necks of several cave demon slaves twisted instantly, their residual souls rising and absorbed into Wang Feng's body.
"So I can absorb souls without summoning Xiaoqing?" Wang Feng thought.
Seeing Wang Feng dispatch the cave demons swiftly, Peng Liang boasted, "As expected of our captain! He's so fast!"
Qingqing added, "Cave demon slaves are social creatures. Their presence means we're in their lair!"
Everyone's eyes widened.
Song Xia sent out a ray of light, illuminating the tunnel walls. Vines covered the walls, and between the vines, countless oily green eyes stared at them like awaiting prey.
"Holy crap! We fell into a demon's lair!"
"Don't panic. Brother Wang's here!" Zhao Manyan said, hiding behind Wang Feng.
Wang Feng glanced at him but remained silent. Since demon souls benefited Qinglong, he didn't mind a little killing.
"Spatial Rhythm – Compression!"
Silver light flashed in Wang Feng's eyes. The tunnel's vines twisted violently, as if an invisible black hole swallowed everything. Cave demon slaves were crushed before they could scream.
Imperial Capital Academy students stared in disbelief and envy.
Handsome, so handsome!
With his hands in his pockets, a glance from him and demons died. They weren't even on the same level as the elementalists.
"Why the surprise? Brother Wang single-handedly crushed over 4,000 freshmen at our Mingzhu Welcome Party. Cave demon slaves are nothing compared to him," Zhao Manyan said with a smile.
"Four thousand?!"
When Imperial Capital Academy students heard this, their mouths dropped in disbelief.
Mu Ningxue turned to Wang Feng. "Is that true?"
"Not quite. I just beat over 3,000, and the rest didn't dare come up," Wang Feng smiled.
"You're not human!"
"How am I not human? Ningxue, you've changed—you even curse now!" Wang Feng teased while continuing to kill.
Each spell brought dozens of slave-level residual souls. Their quiet conversation didn't go unheard; the others noticed Wang Feng and Mu Ningxue's smiles and assumed they were flirting.
"Why is our captain chatting so happily with the Imperial Capital captain? Did he win over that icy beauty in just a few days?" Peng Liang whispered.
"Tsk tsk. Brother Wang has a naturally charming aura; all pretty girls throw themselves at him. Seems what they said is true," Zhao Manyan added, grinning.
Mo Fan glanced at them. "Stop spreading rumors! Don't forget, Wang Feng and Mu Ningxue have known each other since childhood."
…
Mu Nujiao walked in the middle of the formation, uncomfortable with the gossip.
Though she and Wang Feng were just ordinary friends, their first kiss and the events in her dreams made her feel like his girlfriend.
Now, seeing a more beautiful, elegant girl laughing with her dream "boyfriend," she felt crushed.
But what could she do? To live decently, sometimes you had to bite your tongue.
The Imperial Capital Academy gossip mirrored Pearl Academy's, but this time the focus was Mu Ningxue.
Lu Zhenghe's face turned pale. Ever since meeting Mu Ningxue, he'd considered her his future wife. She had never paid attention to him, and he excused it as personality—but now… seeing her joyful expressions directed at Wang Feng ignited jealousy like wildfire.
"Wang Feng, huh? You dare touch my woman, Lu Zhenghe? You're destined to die!" he swore silently, fists clenched until his knuckles cracked.
