89: Chapter 89 Qin Feng VS Yu Xiaogang!

Yu Xiaogang's legs went weak, and he took two steps back, his eyes rolling in anger. The theoretical system he took such pride in had been dismissed as worthless by Qin Feng.

Yu Xiaogang suppressed the fury in his heart, turned around, and walked quickly back to the Shrek team.

He pulled Xiao Wu aside and lowered his voice.

“Xiao Wu, you saw that Qin Feng, right?” Yu Xiaogang said.

Xiao Wu nodded.

Yu Xiaogang continued, “This Qin Feng hides a great secret, and he is currently at the height of his fame. For the ultimate victory of our Shrek Academy, you must continue to carry out the previous plan. You must use your beauty to get close to him, bewitch him, and ideally extract their tactical arrangements from him. This is called a Beauty Trap—do you understand?”

Xiao Wu sneered inwardly.

This Yu Xiaogang was truly shameless; to win, he would even come up with such underhanded tactics. Did he really take her for a mere tool?

However, on the surface, Xiao Wu put on an obedient act and nodded repeatedly.

“I understand, Great Master. For the academy, I am willing to do it,” Xiao Wu answered loudly, as if afraid those nearby wouldn't hear.

Standing a few steps away, Tang San heard everything clearly. He was so angry his lungs felt like they would burst, and his face turned ashen.

Xiao Wu turned around and skipped toward where Qin Feng was.

She ran up to Qin Feng, completely ignoring the Snow Empress and Dugu Yan beside him, and pressed herself close to him.

“Brother Qin Feng~” Xiao Wu spoke in a high-pitched, sweet voice that could make one's bones go soft. She took the opportunity to hug Qin Feng's arm, pressing her entire body against him.

Qin Feng looked down at Xiao Wu. His mind was as clear as a mirror; he knew this was the Beauty Trap arranged by Yu Xiaogang, and he knew Xiao Wu was acting.

Since you've delivered yourself to my door, I won't be polite.

Qin Feng followed the momentum, extending his right arm to pull Xiao Wu's slender waist into his embrace.

Xiao Wu's body stiffened for a moment, but she quickly relaxed again, allowing Qin Feng to hold her.

Qin Feng looked up at Tang San in the distant Shrek team. Tang San was staring fixedly in their direction.

Qin Feng's lips curled into a grin. He raised his left hand and, right in front of Tang San, precisely pinched one of the pink rabbit ears on top of Xiao Wu's head, kneading and playing with it in his hand.

Xiao Wu's rabbit ears were her most sensitive spot. Being pinched like that by Qin Feng, her cheeks instantly flushed deep red, a soft moan escaped her throat, and her entire body went limp in Qin Feng's arms.

In the distance, Tang San saw this scene, and fury instantly erupted in his eyes.

His breathing became incredibly heavy, and he felt as if a string in his head was about to snap.

“Calm down, Tang San, you must stay calm,” Tang San shouted frantically to himself in his mind. “Xiao Wu is doing this for the big picture. This is to complete the task assigned by Great Master. As long as we win the tournament, I can get that hundred thousand year spirit bone. Xiao Wu is doing all of this for me.”

Tang San took deep breaths while performing self-hypnosis.

But for some reason, he felt as if a green glow was slowly rising from the top of his head.

While holding Xiao Wu, Qin Feng reached into his storage spirit tool with his other hand and took out the black diary.

He flipped open the pages with one hand and, with a surge of thought, quickly recorded the current scene.

[The registration office for the Spirit Master tournament is truly lively today.]

[I have to say, that old fellow Yu Xiaogang is really shameless. Because his theories can't compare to mine, he actually instigated Xiao Wu to use a Beauty Trap on me.]

[What's even funnier is Tang San.]

[Right in front of him, I'm holding Xiao Wu's waist and pinching her rabbit ears, and she's gone limp in my arms. This kid is actually just standing there in the distance, staring blankly.]

[I watched him trembling with rage, yet he actually held it in. Not only did he not rush over to fight me, he's probably even comforting himself in his heart, saying Xiao Wu is making a sacrifice for the academy's victory.]

[Tang San, this guy, truly deserves to be called the Douluo Continent's number one ninja turtle. I'm genuinely impressed by his stoicism.]

[With this level of endurance, the green hats on his head could probably be stacked up to the sky, right?]

The diary's contents were instantly synchronized into the minds of the various women.

In the Crown Princes Mansion, Qian Renxue looked at the diary. Her original anger was instantly dissipated by this comical description, and she burst into a fit of pig-like laughter in her chair.

“This Tang San is truly a top-tier piece of trash.” Qian Renxue laughed until tears almost came out.

In Spirit Hall, Hu Liena clutched her stomach, laughing so hard she couldn't stand up straight.

Even far away in the Star Luo Empire, the usually cold and ice-like Zhu Zhuqing couldn't hold it in any longer when she saw the passage about the "ninja turtle" and the "green hat."

Sitting by the window, Zhu Zhuqing's shoulders trembled slightly. On her usually expressionless face, her lips couldn't help but curl upward, and she couldn't suppress the smile no matter how hard she tried.

In the long registration line on the other side of the square, a group of girls from Tianshui Academy was particularly eye-catching.

Shui Binger stood at the front of the line, her gaze sweeping aimlessly through the crowd.

Suddenly, her gaze froze.

In the distant open space, the Heaven Dou Royal Team was gathered together.

And standing in the center of the crowd was that slender young man.

Shui Binger's breath hitched, and her heartbeat instantly quickened its pace.

Images of the scene from the Extreme North Land a few days ago flashed uncontrollably in her mind.

In the midst of the swirling snow, that man had descended like a Heavenly God.

A flush quickly dyed Shui Binger's fair cheeks, and even the tips of her ears turned red.

Standing nearby, Xue Wu and Shui Yueer quickly noticed their captain's unusual behavior.

“Sister.”

“What's wrong with you?”

“Why is your face so red? Do you have a fever?” Shui Yueer leaned in, her face full of confusion.

She followed Shui Binger's gaze into the distance.

With one look, Shui Yueer's eyes widened, and she let out an exclamation.

“Wow!”

“That guy is so handsome!”

“Sister, are you looking at him?” Shui Yueer excitedly shook Shui Binger's arm.

Several other female members of Tianshui Academy also looked over and immediately began to chatter and discuss.

The commotion here was not small.

Qin Feng keenly sensed the gaze from afar.

He turned his head, his gaze piercing through the surging crowd to meet Shui Binger's eyes.

Qin Feng was somewhat surprised.

He hadn't expected the registration area to be so large and yet still run into her here.

Seeing Qin Feng look over, Shui Binger could no longer maintain her usual coldness and reserve.

She lifted her skirt and quickly ran out of the line, heading straight toward Qin Feng.

Shui Yueer and Xue Wu exchanged a surprised look and quickly led several team members to follow.

“Young Master Qin Feng!”

Shui Binger ran up to Qin Feng, panting slightly, her chest heaving.

“Thank you for your help in the Extreme North Land, Young Master.”

“If it weren't for you, Binger and my companions would have likely ended up in the bellies of beasts.”

Shui Binger looked at Qin Feng with sparkling eyes, her tone carrying an irrepressible excitement.

Qin Feng sized up the young girl before him.

She had waist-length water-blue hair and delicate, soft features.

Especially now, due to the vigorous running and a bit of shyness, her cheeks were a rosy white, exceptionally alluring.

“It was just a small effort.”

Qin Feng chuckled, his tone easygoing. “The Extreme North Land is inherently dangerous; you young girls were quite bold to venture there.”

“Looking at your current Soul Power fluctuations, I assume you successfully obtained your spirit ring?”

Shui Binger nodded repeatedly, her hands twisting together, appearing somewhat nervous.

“Yes.”

“Thanks to the lingering prestige of Young Master deterring the surrounding Spirit Beasts, I was able to smoothly absorb the spirit ring.”

The usually aloof Ice and Snow Goddess of Tianshui Academy now appeared like a shy girl next door in front of Qin Feng, her face full of bashfulness.

The catching-up Shui Yueer watched from the side, dumbfounded.

“Sister, is he the benefactor you mentioned who saved you?”

Shui Yueer's large eyes scanned Qin Feng up and down, and the more she looked, the more satisfied she became.

While they were chatting, a wave of cool fragrance wafted from the side.

The Snow Empress walked over with her long legs.

Today, she wore a plain long dress with a very high slit.

As she moved, her legs clad in divine silkworm white silk were partially visible.

The cold nobility of the overlord of the extreme cold, combined with these tight-fitting white silk stockings that outlined her perfect leg shape, displayed the 'pure desire' style to its extreme.

Many male Spirit Masters nearby stared with wide eyes.

But under the Snow Empress's powerful aura, they didn't dare to look more than once and lowered their heads one after another.

The Snow Empress walked to Qin Feng's side, holding a registration form in her hand.

“The registration procedures have been completed.”

The Snow Empress's tone was flat. “The organizing committee just announced the latest tournament regulations. There have been some changes to this tournament.”

Qin Feng turned and asked, “How was it changed?”

The Snow Empress explained, “The Spirit Master tournament and the theory tournament will be held alternately.”

“In other words, the first round of the Spirit Master tournament qualifiers will be held tomorrow, and the preliminary round of the theory tournament will be held the day after.”

“They will alternate sequentially—one day of fighting, one day of theoretical competition.”

Qin Feng nodded; this arrangement was reasonable, as it would give the contestants plenty of rest time.

Half an hour later.

The central main arena of the Heaven Dou Great Spirit Arena.

This place had been temporarily converted into the opening ceremony venue for the Continental Advanced Spirit Master Academy Elite Tournament.

Tens of thousands of spectators sat in the stands, a cacophony of voices.

On the high platform in the center of the field, the Heaven Dou Empire's Emperor Xue Ye sat in the seat of honor.

Ning Fengzhi and Salas sat on either side.

Emperor Xue Ye stood up and pressed his hands down; the entire venue immediately fell silent.

After a stirring opening speech, Emperor Xue Ye's gaze swept across the field.

Finally, his gaze landed in the direction of the Heaven Dou Royal Academy.

“In this tournament, in addition to the traditional Spirit Master battles, our Heaven Dou Empire has specially introduced a theory tournament.”

“Theory is the guiding light for Spirit Masters to move forward.”

Emperor Xue Ye's voice was sonorous. “Today, I wish to specially introduce a young talent to everyone.”

“He is not only the leader of the Heaven Dou Royal Team but also the theoretical mentor of Crown Prince Xue Qinghe!”

“His achievements in Spirit Origin theory have left even me in awe.”

“Now, I invite Qin Feng to come forward and speak!”

As his voice fell, a spotlight hit Qin Feng directly.

The gazes of tens of thousands of people instantly converged on him.

Qin Feng's expression was calm as he stepped toward the high platform.

Just then, in the Shrek Academy team.

Yu Xiaogang could no longer suppress the jealousy in his heart.

He suddenly jumped out and pointed a finger at Qin Feng, who was walking onto the stage.

“Wait a minute!”

Yu Xiaogang's voice was sharp, carrying across half the arena.

“Your Majesty, I fear you have been deceived by a petty person!”

“This Qin Feng is nothing more than a green boy in his teens; he's barely grown his hair, what does he know about Spirit theory?”

“The study of theory requires decades of immersion and the accumulation of countless data.”

“Even if he started reading books in his mother's womb, how many could he have read?”

Yu Xiaogang's face was full of disdain as he mocked loudly, “Allowing such a wet-behind-the-ears brat to represent the Heaven Dou Empire in preaching theory is simply a joke in the Spirit Master's world!”

As soon as these words were spoken, the entire venue was in an uproar.

Before Qin Feng could speak, the women below couldn't hold back.

Dugu Yan's eyebrows shot up, and she took a step forward, pointing at Yu Xiaogang and cursing.

“What kind of thing are you to dare spout such nonsense here?”

“How high Qin Feng's theoretical level is has been personally verified by His Highness the Crown Prince and His Majesty!”

“What right does an old piece of trash whose Soul Power can't even break through level thirty have to question him?”

Shui Binger also took a step forward, her face like frost.

“One has no right to speak without investigation.”

“This uncle, you haven't even seen Young Master Qin Feng's theories, so on what basis do you make such a conclusion here?”

“Tianshui Academy absolutely supports Young Master Qin Feng!”

Xiao Wu, hiding in the team, saw Dugu Yan and Shui Binger standing up for Qin Feng and was anxious beyond measure.

But hindered by her undercover status, she could only stare blankly.

Yu Xiaogang, having been poked in his sore spot by Dugu Yan, was red-faced with anger.

“You ignorant juniors!” Yu Xiaogang shouted.

At this time, in the stands and among the various participating academies, many people also stood up.

A Spirit Douluo leading the Kamikaze Academy team snorted coldly.

“Although this Yu Xiaogang is a waste, his words are crude but not without reason.”

“The theory tournament is open to the entire continent, and many old scholars who have spent their entire lives researching have come to compete.”

“Allowing a youth to stand at the highest point and lecture us is indeed against the rules.”

The Sect Master of the Fire Leopard Sect, sitting in the VIP seats, also spoke up.

“Indeed. Theory is no child's play.”

“If this kid doesn't have any real substance, he'd better step down early so as not to lose face for the Heaven Dou Empire.”

For a moment, voices of doubt rose from all quarters of the arena.

Most people were unwilling to believe that a teenager could surpass their older generation in theory.

After all, the theory tournament had no age limit.

Seeing so many people supporting him, Yu Xiaogang's confidence instantly surged.

He straightened his back and looked up at Qin Feng on the high platform.

“Qin Feng!”

“Since everyone is unconvinced by you, do you dare to compete with me in theory right here and now?”

Yu Xiaogang challenged loudly, “Today, I'll let you see what the true ten core competencies are!”

On the high platform, Emperor Xue Ye frowned slightly and was about to speak out in reprimand.

But Qin Feng raised his hand, signaling Emperor Xue Ye to stay calm.

Qin Feng stood on the high platform, looking down at Yu Xiaogang from above.

He chuckled and shook his head.

“Yu Xiaogang, you think too highly of yourself.”

Qin Feng's gaze swept over the Spirit Douluos and Sect Masters who had just voiced their doubts.

“Since you all have doubts about my theories, let's be more direct.”

Qin Feng raised his right hand and wagged his index finger.

“I want to fight ten of you at once.”
