Under everyone's gaze, Lin Feng and Chen Tian smiled at the camera and took a picture.
"Thank you."
Chen Tian smiled sweetly at Lin Feng.
As a fan, she wanted to take a few more pictures with her idol and get his autograph. If he could leave his phone number, she could contact him in the future.
"Goodbye."
However, when she sensed the strange atmosphere and the dissatisfied gazes, she quickly gave up on her idea. She waved her hand at Lin Feng and then teleported away.
"This Chen Tian!"
Seeing Chen Tian running away, many people couldn't help but laugh out loud. Although Chen Tian's photo had weakened their momentum, no one cared too much about it.
"Chen Tian is so bold and shameless. She actually took the first shot."
"I want a picture too!"
"It's okay. The battle is over. Maybe there will be a chance."
In the audience, the five girls looked at Chen Tian with disdain. If it weren't for the undisguised envy in their conversation, Chen Tian would have been fooled by them.
Beside the five girls, a chubby boy heard their conversation and smiled bitterly. Seeing that they were gossiping about Lin Feng, he couldn't help but interrupt, "Ladies, the enemy is challenging the school. Can you not be so infatuated?"
Being interrupted, the five girls frowned. One of the pretty girls waved her right fist and said angrily, "What? Why don't you think about why we are not infatuated with you? Why don't you find the reason yourself? If you keep arguing, I'll beat you up later."
The girls who could go to Maleficent were not inferior to the boys in terms of talent and strength. The freshmen were still okay as they hadn't seen blood yet. Some of the soft girls were still cute, but some of the senior girls were more hot-tempered than the boys. It was common for them to start a fight if they had a disagreement.
Lin Feng could be said to be the idol of all the teenagers in the country.
Handsome, talented, rich, and single. Lin Feng was very popular among the girls.
Not only Chen Tian, but many girls in Maleficent were also fans of Lin Feng.
"Okay, you win."
The slightly plump boy decisively shut his mouth. If he couldn't afford to offend them, he could just hide.
Jokes aside, after Huang Tianze and Chen Tian's lesson, the Maleficent University's teachers and students looked a lot more serious.
Huang Tianze and Chen Tian are both Grade-5 Martial Artists. Huang Tianze is even at the pinnacle of Grade-5, only a step away from Grade-6. Both of them have refined demon spirits from the Earth Ranking, and their ranks are very high. They're publicly acknowledged as geniuses, influential figures in the academy. However, they were easily defeated by Linfeng. They couldn't even force out Linfeng's true strength.
At this time, as the news spread, more and more students came to the martial arts practice field. The seats around the martial arts practice field were already full.
Some students turned on their phones and started a live broadcast.
At the same time, there was a lot of attention on the Internet about this challenge.
As the captain of the Hongyun Team, Linfeng had just sealed a gate and was already the focus of the entire country. Now that he was going to challenge the Maleficent School the next day, everyone was looking forward to the results of this challenge.
"Haha, they're scared of Linfeng."
Seeing that no one stood up, Dong Xiaomei, who was in the audience, laughed. Beside her was Yunkai's team of seven.
After going through a life and death battle and signing the contract yesterday, Linfeng's team of nine had already formed an alliance. Their relationship had become much closer.
Even if they would become competitors in the semi-finals, it wouldn't affect their relationship.
The relationship between the teams was only short-term. Establishing a contract and forming an alliance might be a matter of a lifetime.
"It feels a little like bullying. Who could be Linfeng's opponent in a one-on-one?"
Zhan Tianyu laughed.
As a teammate who had fought before, he had seen Linfeng's combat strength. Linfeng could transform into a giant, but he didn't have the chance to show it.
Perhaps it was because they were discussing the battle, but after ten minutes, the third person stood up. It was a young man wearing a white short-sleeved shirt. Linfeng wasn't unfamiliar with this person. He was one of the main members of the Maleficent Team, Xie Xiang, who had refined a rare plant demon spirit, the Grade 9 Thousand Green Wood.
"Xie Xiang, you can do it!"
"Xiang Ge, give it your all!"
Xie Xiang's appearance also caused a wave of cheers. He seemed to be very popular.
Xie Xiang seemed to be a man of few words. He slightly nodded his head at Linfeng as a greeting and then possessed his demon spirit.
His originally white skin began to crack and turned brown like tree bark. His originally black pupils turned dark green with a trace of coldness.
After the demon transformation, Xie Xiang opened his hands. At this moment, his hands were covered in thorny vines and extended towards Linfeng.
Facing Xie Xiang, Linfeng, who had always been on the passive side, took the initiative to attack. Bubbles were spat out, followed by explosions.
"Rumble."
Along with the explosions, the thick vines were blown apart. However, the vines seemed to be endless as they continued to surge towards Linfeng.
Linfeng quickly dodged as he charged towards Xie Xiang. Lightning gathered in his palm, forming a lightning blade that constantly cut the vines.
Seeing Linfeng charging over, Xie Xiang quickly retreated. With the previous two's painful experience, he didn't dare to let Linfeng get close. However, it was clear that the vines' attack speed wasn't as fast as Linfeng's.
As his soul power was depleted, he quickly gave up on the idea of attacking from afar. When Linfeng got within ten meters of him, the vines broke apart and his hands that were like ancient trees stabbed into the ground.
Along with the splashing of rocks, the ground of the Martial Arts Stage cracked as if there was an earthquake. Small trees and vines covered in black thorns broke out from the ground like pythons and grew at a terrifying speed. The small trees grew into trees that were seven to eight meters tall. Some of the branches even had flowers blooming. The flowers were brightly colored and emitted a faint fragrance. As the thorny vines grew, they intertwined with each other, spreading without restraint.
"Swish, swish, swish …"
The vines spread through the ancient trees. It was unknown whether it was because they sensed Linfeng's existence or because of Xie Xiang's control, but these vines grew wildly with Linfeng as the center. Even Linfeng couldn't escape.
"What a powerful attack."
Linfeng dodged the thorny vines. He kept dodging in the world of plants. Even with Spiritual Energy attached to his body, he was still cut by the sharp thorns. He looked a little embarrassed.
While dodging, Linfeng kept releasing bubbles behind him.
"Rumble …"
As the bubbles burst, explosions followed. Lightning flashed and ignited many plants and ancient trees, bringing with it a charred smell. However, the cage didn't stop expanding and was still spreading.
The original faint fragrance of flowers mixed with the charred smell, which was obviously a little pungent.
"It's poisonous!"
As his body felt weak, Linfeng hurriedly held his breath. However, there were still some willow-like seeds that crawled through his Spiritual Energy Gauze and clung to the surface of his skin, forming strange green spots.
When the green spots formed, Linfeng felt his body stiffen. Moreover, as the green spots appeared, the other thorny vines locked onto Linfeng and quickly engulfed him.
Seeing this scene, many people cheered.
"He won?"
"Isn't Linfeng invincible in the Sixth Stage? He can't be so weak."
"Xie Xiang is amazing. There's no way to escape from this attack."
When Linfeng was engulfed by the vines, many people were already waving their hands and celebrating in advance.
Even many mentors nodded slightly, satisfied with Xie Xiang's performance.
No matter what, Xie Xiang was able to push Linfeng to this point after being easily crushed in the previous two rounds. It was already very good.
Of course, this didn't mean that Xie Xiang was stronger than Huang Tianze and Chen Tian.
It could only be said that Linfeng's demon spirit and soul skill just happened to be countered by Xie Xiang.
If Linfeng was replaced by Chen Tian, she could easily escape from this predicament with Spatial Teleportation.
"It's too early to be happy."
Seeing that many students were already celebrating, Yu Qiao couldn't help but laugh.
Xie Xiang was indeed very strong. He just happened to counter Linfeng's demon spirit and soul skill. However, if Linfeng only had this much strength, how could he have killed Hai Wei and Tian Qing? How could he have made him sign the peace contract willingly?
The show had just begun.
"Is it over?"
Xie Xiang's breathing was a little hurried. His eyes were fixed in front of him. At this moment, he had overdrawn his soul power. It seemed like only one attack, but to complete the Forest Cage, he had used four soul skills. This was a combination soul skill. A single soul skill wouldn't have such an effect.
Fortunately, he won.
Just as this thought appeared in his mind, his expression changed in the next moment.
At this moment, the Forest Cage was constantly trembling. Trees were constantly collapsing, as if there was a giant beast ramming inside. When the 'beast' knocked over the trees and tore apart the vines, it appeared in front of them. The audience was silent for a moment.
"Fuck!"
"A giant!"
"Is this a soul skill?"
Cries of surprise rang out. A three meter tall giant appeared in front of them. The giant's eyes were green and purple. His long hair was the same color as his eyes, reaching his waist. His body was covered in dark green scales. His muscles were swollen, and his arms were the most exaggerated. His entire arm was covered in green scales. The scales were pentagonal, and the joints were thick. He had sharp claws like a dragon's claws.
This was a giant wearing armor. The trees were sent flying by the giant. The thorny vines couldn't pierce through the armor-like scales and were easily torn apart by the giant.
The Forest Cage was like a toy in front of Linfeng. It was easily destroyed.
