“Ha!!”
Suddenly, Li Fengxue let out a loud roar, then pushed both palms forward.
Roar—
In an instant, several dazzling golden beasts surged out from his boundary formation, charging toward Chu Feng with crushing force.
Each golden beast was hundreds of metres long, and their numbers were countless.
Chu Feng, standing there, seemed utterly insignificant.
The scene was akin to a herd of elephants charging at a single ant.
“This Li Fengxue!!!”
Seeing this, Yuan Shu inwardly cursed.
His unease wasn’t just because Li Fengxue’s formation was overwhelmingly powerful.
It was because he realised the agreed-upon time for setting up formations hadn’t yet elapsed.
Li Fengxue had attacked early.
This was a violation of their agreement.
After all, the time they had set wasn’t up.
If Chu Feng’s formation wasn’t complete at this moment, Li Fengxue’s attack could deal him a fatal blow.
“Perfect timing.”
But almost as soon as Li Fengxue launched his attack, Chu Feng gave a faint smile.
“Towering Waves!!!”
With a loud shout, waves surged from the formation in front of Chu Feng.
Golden waves soared into the sky, forming towering waves over a thousand metres high, crashing toward Li Fengxue one after another.
Before these waves, even the boundary beasts seemed small.
Roar—
Soon, pained roars echoed as the boundary beasts were engulfed by the waves, struggling and wailing. Some couldn’t withstand the waves’ might and shattered into scattered boundary energy.
“This kid!!!”
Seeing this, Li Fengxue was caught off guard. He hadn’t expected Chu Feng’s formation to be so formidable.
It far exceeded his expectations.
In his eyes, this young man was likely inferior even to Yuan Shu, so he hadn’t taken Chu Feng seriously at all.
Though surprised, as his formation neared collapse, Li Fengxue showed no fear. With a thought, he shouted loudly.
Buzz—
The next moment, his offensive formation glowed even brighter, with runes swirling around it.
Now, the boundary beasts charging out of the formation grew even fiercer.
The previous beasts had used a basic attack, but now their assault was different.
The boundary beasts opened their massive maws, spewing fierce winds that forcefully pushed back Chu Feng’s waves.
Chu Feng, however, remained calm, fully activating his formation.
For a moment, wind and waves clashed, the two forces locked in a fierce struggle.
The duel was too close to call.
“What’s this kid’s name?”
“Is it Chu Feng?”
At this moment, the Beast-Taming Venerable asked Master Tang Chen, “Whose disciple is he?”
“That’s not for me to say.”
Master Tang Chen smiled.
He could see that the Beast-Taming Venerable now viewed Chu Feng differently.
Earlier, he had looked down on Chu Feng, agreeing to let Li Fengxue face him only because he coveted the Ancient Spirit Domain map fragment Chu Feng inexplicably possessed.
Before, he must have thought the fragment was within easy reach.
But now, he realised he had completely underestimated this junior.
This Ancient Spirit Domain map fragment wasn’t as easy to obtain as he had thought.
After all, being able to match his disciple blow for blow proved that Chu Feng was a Saint-cloak Spirit Master who had mastered the First Rank of Dragon Transformation.
“Brother Tang Chen, this kid, he’s not still a junior, is he?”
Though Master Tang Chen didn’t answer, the Beast-Taming Venerable couldn’t help but ask again.
“Can’t you tell?”
Master Tang Chen said with a sly smile.
The Beast-Taming Venerable, a formidable spirit master himself, had also mastered the Fourth Rank of Dragon Transformation, just like Tang Chen.
A spirit master of his calibre couldn’t possibly fail to discern Chu Feng’s age.
At most, he was simply unwilling to believe it.
Because if Chu Feng was a junior, it meant he was superior to his disciple.
After all, his disciple, similar in age to Yuan Shu, was no longer a junior.
“He really is a junior.”
Sure enough, after hearing Master Tang Chen’s words, the Beast-Taming Venerable’s expression grew complex.
The smugness he had earlier faded, replaced by a hint of dejection.
Even if his disciple, Li Fengxue, won this duel, in terms of talent, his disciple had already lost.
A junior mastering the First Rank of Dragon Transformation was an exceptionally rare genius.
At the very least, his disciple couldn’t achieve that.
But suddenly, both the Beast-Taming Venerable and Master Tang Chen’s expressions shifted.
The Beast-Taming Venerable’s face lit up with joy, while Master Tang Chen and Yuan Shu frowned.
After the intense clash, Chu Feng began to falter, and the balance of the duel started to tip.
As expected, it wasn’t long before Chu Feng’s towering waves could no longer withstand Li Fengxue’s formation.
Seeing the opponent’s attack closing in and his own formation failing to hold, Chu Feng spoke.
“I concede.”
Upon his admission of defeat, Li Fengxue didn’t continue his assault but promptly stopped.
He knew full well that with a master like Tang Chen present, even if he didn’t stop, he couldn’t harm Chu Feng. Better to stop in time and display some gentlemanly grace.
“Young brother, you’re quite impressive to compete with me in offensive formations to this extent. You’re truly remarkable.”
“Though I didn’t use my full strength, you’re still much stronger than Brother Yuan Shu.”
When Li Fengxue said this, he glanced at Yuan Shu.
Having defeated Chu Feng, he didn’t miss the chance to insult Yuan Shu as well.
Yuan Shu didn’t react, but Master Tang Chen’s expression darkened.
Master Tang Chen was fiercely protective of his disciple, and seeing him humiliated like this naturally displeased him.
But since his disciple had indeed been outmatched, he couldn’t say much.
“Not using your full strength?”
“Then I’d like to see what your full strength looks like.”
“How about another match?”
Chu Feng said to him.
“Brat, are you trying to go back on your word?”
Hearing this, Li Fengxue’s gaze suddenly turned cold.
The Beast-Taming Venerable, though silent, also looked at Chu Feng with displeasure.
They feared Chu Feng would break his promise and refuse to hand over the lost Ancient Spirit Domain map fragment.
“No, no, I, Chu Feng, am not one to break my word.”
“Here, take this Ancient Spirit Domain map fragment.”
As he spoke, Chu Feng took out the Ancient Spirit Domain map fragment again and tossed it to Li Fengxue.
Catching the fragment, Li Fengxue hurriedly went to his master, wanting him to verify it.
The Beast-Taming Venerable, naturally cautious, began to inspect it carefully.
When he confirmed that the fragment Chu Feng handed over was indeed genuine, he grinned so widely he couldn’t close his mouth.
He even laughed out loud.
