Chapter 50

Chapter 50: Flag Capture Battle. Qin Yefeng looked up, his eyes icy as he stared at Xue Li. He spoke in a cold voice, “You call him a person? He’s clearly a dog! If you treat a dog like a person, aren’t you worse than a dog? You want to lecture me? If you’ve got the guts, make a move!”
Qin Yefeng’s words instantly caused an uproar among the other teams participating in the Flag Capture Battle.
“What? Is Qin Yefeng out of his mind? Doesn’t he know Xue Li has already reached the threshold of the True Essence Realm? Fighting him is just asking for death!”
“Qin Yefeng has some serious guts! How dare he insult Xue Li, who’s already halfway into the True Essence Realm? I bet he’s aiming for the top spot on the Wind and Cloud List.”
Wang Yi scrambled up from the ground and hid behind Xue Li, his face contorted in a sneer. He cursed, “Qin Yefeng, my son! How dare you insult me? If my boss Xue Li doesn’t beat you half to death, then I’m your son! After he’s done, I’ll break both your legs and make sure you never stand again.”
Golden-Yellow Spiritual Power erupted from Qin Yefeng’s entire body, and a semi-dark golden flame blazed in his hand as he fiercely thrust out a palm.
A golden flame palm print shot through the air, carrying a wild, destructive aura, and rapidly struck towards Xue Li.
Xue Li’s muscles rapidly reddened, and sharp, deep crimson Spiritual Power surged over his body as he unleashed a punch with an explosive roar.
Surging deep crimson Spiritual Power gathered on that punch, compressing continuously and erupting with incredibly potent energy.
“Boom!”
In an instant, a tremendous roar echoed. At the point where the energies converged, a massive golden energy sphere clashed with a deep crimson fist force.
The air instantly distorted severely, rippling and shattering like a water surface. Nearby trees immediately collapsed and fell.
Within ten zhang, sand and stones flew, and smoke instantly filled the air.
Qin Yefeng and Xue Li both bore the brunt of this power, each retreating three steps.
Just as both were about to continue their fight.
The Law Enforcement Captain shot a fierce glance at Qin Yefeng and Xue Li, then said coldly, “The Flag Capture Battle hasn’t even begun yet. If you two don’t stop, I’ll disqualify both of you.”
At this moment, Qin Yefeng remembered the goal he still had to achieve, so he first retracted his Spiritual Qi and flames, then ceased fighting.
Seeing Qin Yefeng stop, Xue Li also chose not to continue the fight and walked towards his designated starting position.
Xue Li muttered to himself, “This Qin Yefeng seems to have some skill. I can’t let him ruin my plan. I’ve meticulously prepared for this Flag Capture Challenge for so long; I must win first place this time and not mess up such an important matter.”
After the Law Enforcement Captain left, Xue Li glared at Qin Yefeng and threatened, “Kid, you’ve got guts. Just make sure I don’t run into you in the forest.”
Qin Yefeng turned away, not even sparing Xue Li a glance, and walked to his own starting position.
The passing Students all looked at Qin Yefeng in astonishment; they were truly shocked.
“This… this is the first time I’ve ever seen Xue Li get put in his place! Truly the first time! This Qin Yefeng is incredibly strong!”
“Am I seeing things? Qin Yefeng actually fought Xue Li to a draw! That’s astounding, especially since Qin Yefeng is three years younger than Xue Li!”
“During this Flag Capture Battle, we absolutely cannot make an enemy of Qin Yefeng. Even if we make it into the top five of the Flag Capture, we’ll still meet in the Secret Realm. At that point, with Qin Yefeng’s methods, we wouldn’t stand a chance against him.”
Qin Yefeng arrived at his designated position, corresponding to his fourth-place ranking on the Wind and Cloud List, and formed a team with Xiong Yu.
At this moment, all the other teams had three members, but Qin Yefeng’s team only had two. Although two people could still participate, the challenge would undoubtedly contain various obstacles arranged by the Instructors.
The biggest obstacle, however, was the competition among the Students themselves. To secure a higher ranking, they would devise all sorts of methods to slow down pursuing teams, and some, with more malicious intent, might even resort to killing.
“Qin Yefeng, you only have two people, right? I see you’re truly a nobody. You definitely can’t beat me.” Seeing this, Wang Yi didn’t miss the chance to mock him.
After Wang Yi finished speaking, the Students friendly with him burst into laughter. Xiong Yu immediately raised his fist, ready to fight them.
Qin Yefeng held Xiong Yu back, quietly cautioning him, “Before a man acts, he must clearly think about what he wants. Now is not the time to make a move; don’t act without considering the situation!”
Just then, a graceful purple figure leaped down from the forest, joining Qin Yefeng’s team.
The Students who were still ridiculing Qin Yefeng’s team for having only two members all looked over.
They saw that the last member to join Qin Yefeng and Xiong Yu was, in fact, a woman.
Just as they were about to continue mocking Qin Yefeng, they were all stunned when they clearly saw that it was Zi Baiying, ranked third on the Wind and Cloud List and Holy Sun Academy’s foremost beauty.
“What?! Qin Yefeng’s team actually has two experts: Zi Baiying, third on the Wind and Cloud List, and Qin Yefeng, fourth! What’s the point of even trying to capture the flag now? This is outrageous!”
“Doesn’t Zi Baiying rarely show her face at the academy? Why is she teamed up with Qin Yefeng now? Why are they together for this Flag Capture Battle?”
Meanwhile, Xue Li secretly watched Qin Yefeng. His eyes, which hadn’t held much killing intent before, now gleamed with intense murderous aura after seeing Zi Baiying team up with Qin Yefeng.
At this moment, Wang Yi’s smile grew even wider upon seeing his boss’s expression. Others might not know, but he understood that even though his boss hadn’t successfully pursued Zi Baiying…
…his boss already considered Zi Baiying his woman. Anyone who dared to lay a hand on Zi Baiying, Boss Xue Li would surely find a way to kill them.
“Qin Yefeng, you’ve already violated Xue Li’s taboo. It seems you’re not far from death. Just wait until Xue Li defeats you; then you’ll see how I torment you.” Wang Yi thought maliciously to himself.
The Law Enforcement Captain and the two Instructors beside him saw that the Flag Capture teams were ready. Then, the three of them fiercely waved their hands, and the Flag Capture Battle instantly began!
Immediately, the Students who had already unleashed their Spiritual Power soared through the air above the forest.
Within the green forest, colorful Spiritual Power surged forth, flying towards the Great Snow Mountain in the Demonic Beast Mountain Range.
Watching the spirited Students eagerly vying for first place, one male Instructor chuckled to a female Instructor, “If these youngsters think this Flag Capture Battle will be as simple as in previous years, then they’re in for a rude awakening this year.”
“Indeed,” the female Instructor replied, “The academy designed three stages this time, each harder than the last. Especially that final stage on the Great Snow Mountain; anyone who manages to get through it will surely curse the academy for being inhuman!”
