The Art of Chaotic Divinity

Chapter 631: Mu Qianxue's Heaven Defying Ability!

Before long, Ling Feng returned with Mu Qianxue and Tuoba Yan by his side. Perched on his shoulder was a small black cat.

With two stunning beauties flanking him, Ling Feng attracted quite a bit of attention as they moved through the crowd. Mu Qianxue was already somewhat famous in Tianwei Academy. When she was first brought in by a vice-director, many students had seen her.

No one would have expected such a pride of the heavens to be so close to a young man. Many envied Ling Feng's good fortune with the ladies.

Even Li Bufan, usually very firm-minded, felt a slight stir in his heart at the sight of the two beauties.

"Alright, let's head to the training grounds," Ling Feng said with a slight smile. "This is Mu Qianxue, the friend I mentioned who wants to join our East Court's sword team."

"Miss Mu," Jiang Xiaofan said, blinking as he gave a simple smile.

This big guy seemed a bit dull when it came to aesthetics. In terms of martial obsession, he surpassed even Li Bufan.

"Big Brother Jiang, Big Brother Li," Mu Qianxue greeted the two with a slight bow and a soft voice.

After some quick introductions, they continued towards the training grounds, not wanting to keep Gu Tengfeng and the others waiting.

...

"Finally, you're back!"

Gu Tengfeng and the others had only returned to the training ground recently themselves. After two months of harsh training, the brothers and sisters bore scars and were utterly exhausted.

Only Jiang Xiaofan seemed full of energy, never appearing tired. That's why Gu Tengfeng had sent him to call Ling Feng and Li Bufan to rejoin the team.

He was curious to see how much these two had grown in the past two months.

Seeing the progress Jiang Xiaofan had made, Gu Tengfeng sensed a glimmer of hope in defeating the Central Court's sword team. If Li Bufan and Ling Feng brought even more surprises, they might truly become the first sword team of Tianwei Academy, beat the other three academies and finally earn the right to challenge the Royal Sword Team.

"Boss Gu, we've finally returned. Can't we have a few days off to rest?" Lin Mochen grumbled, shaking two dice in his hand. "I was hoping to gamble for three days and nights straight!"

Yu Sixian, meanwhile, had already pulled out his collection of rare books, flipping through them with great interest. In the Fearsome Forest, there was no time for reading. Getting distracted could mean death.

Having held back for two months, he'd truly reached his limit.

"The Five Courts' Sword Team Grand Competition will officially begin in a month, and you want to rest now?" Gu Tengfeng's gaze fixed on Lin Mochen. "Defeat the Royal Sword Team, and I'll let you rest as much as you want!"

"The Royal Sword Team..."

Just thinking about the Royal Sword Team made Lin Mochen's head spin. Ling Feng had vowed to challenge the empire legend, Yan Jinghong, with the sword team.

Since they were Ling Feng's teammates, they naturally had to tag along.

"Alright, alright. Even though I usually call that kid Brother Feng, I'm still a few years older than him. I can't just watch this brother lose without a fight!"

Lin Mochen put the dice away and clenched his fists. "Damn it, who cares about the Central Court sword team or some genius? Let's just go for it!"

"Although I'll probably be warming the bench most of the time, for Ling Feng's sake, I'll bear with it," Yu Sixian said, putting away his cherished books and finally showing a rare serious expression.

Not to mention, every time Ling Feng gained something since joining the sword team, he shared it with his brothers. Every time they returned from the Blood Arena, wounded and bruised, it was Ling Feng who healed them.

Though they'd only been together for half a year, they already considered Ling Feng their lifelong brother!

"Not just for that kid, but for ourselves too!" Gu Tengfeng clenched his fists, gritting his teeth. "Challenging the empire's strongest Royal Sword Team is the greatest dream of every swordsman! Myths are meant to be broken!"

"Well said!"

A round of applause came from outside the door. It was Ling Feng and the others arriving at the scene.

"Bufan, Ling Feng!"

Vice-captain Gong Cheng smiled. "You two, hurry up and get over here!"

"Member Ling Feng, reporting back!" Ling Feng smiled freely, saluting the group with a sword gesture before striding forward.

"Member Li Bufan, reporting back!"

Li Bufan took a deep breath. Though he wasn't one for sentiments, Gu Tengfeng's words had moved him.

Myths were meant to be broken!

He wanted to break the so-called undefeated myth with these companions, no, these brothers, and face the so-called empire legend together!

"You punk!" Gu Tengfeng gave each of them a punch on the chest while laughing heartily. "Looks like you've made quite some progress during the past few months!"

"Yeah, I’ve made at least a bit of improvement." Ling Feng shrugged, and then pointed to Mu Qianxue, who was standing by the door. "By the way, Captain, this is Miss Mu Qianxue. She wants to join our East Court's sword team."

"Oh?" Gu Tengfeng raised an eyebrow, looking at Mu Qianxue's slender and delicate figure. He couldn't help but say, "Little Feng, our team has just about gotten used to each other, and we're about to join the team-based sword fighting competition. Isn't it a bit late to be training a newcomer now?"

"Captain, I'm not a newcomer." Mu Qianxue quickly stepped forward, saying calmly, "I've been through dozens of team-based sword fighting competitions during my training in the Heisha Region, with no defeats."

"Heisha Region!"

Gu Tengfeng's pupils narrowed slightly. "You're one of the ten hidden talents from the last batch?"

"Yes," Mu Qianxue nodded lightly. "I believe my abilities can definitely help everyone."

"Your abilities?" Gu Tengfeng eyed her curiously. "Let's hear about them."

"During time battles, I usually serve as the flag guardian, providing auras for the members." Mu Qianxue bit her lip. In truth, her combat ability wasn't weak, but the sword fighting competition prohibited bringing demonic pets onto the field, and most of her combat power lay in her small black cat, Ye Yi.

However, even without Ye Yi, the supportive auras she could provide were enough to make her one of the top flag guardians.

Mu Qianxue's gaze fell on Gu Tengfeng. She formed a peculiar hand seal, and then a strange inscription turned into a gentle glow, enveloping Gu Tengfeng.

Buzz!

Gu Tengfeng felt the energy within him suddenly surge, his meridian gates involuntarily fully opening.

"Sixty... Sixty-one... Sixty-two..."

Lin Mochen's eyes twitched in surprise. "Whoa, Boss Gu, when did you break through to sixty-two meridian gates?"

Gu Tengfeng gasped in shock. "This... What's happening?"

He clearly only had fifty-nine meridian gates!

"This is my first buff aura, which can instantly increase a companion's strength by about thirty percent, helping you temporarily open three additional meridian gates. Theoretically, I can open up to around ten meridian gates with full power," Mu Qianxue explained softly.

As soon as she finished speaking, everyone stared at her, utterly stunned.

This ability was simply too powerful, and practically defied the heavens!
