Divine-level Base-Chapter 90: Top Freshman

Under the frenzied incineration of the Flame Red Lotus, the Void Demon Membranes of the eight Spirit Master-level Ghost-devouring Demons were burned to nothing. Countless streams of black mist rose from their bodies.

A slight smile touched Zhao Zixing’s lips. ’I’ve won!’

Zhao Zixing couldn’t maintain her invincible, Flame Goddess-like state for long. But on this plain, it was more than enough to finish off Shu Feng.

WHOOSH!

The instant the Flame Red Lotus vanished, a black arrow shot from the void like a ray of black moonlight, piercing through Zhao Zixing’s Flame Armor and shattering her heart in a flash.

’How could I be dying?’

A flash of disbelief crossed Zhao Zixing’s eyes as she looked into the distance. There, she saw Camilla standing beside Shu Feng, holding the Dark Moon Bow and quietly watching her.

’So that’s his real trump card!’

Zhao Zixing closed her eyes, and her body began to dissolve into wisps of smoke before vanishing completely.

"Shu Feng won! He actually won!"

"That’s a Dark Elf! And she’s so powerful!"

"So that was Shu Feng’s trump card! That Dark Elf is incredible!"

"Did you guys see her? That Dark Elf is gorgeous! Those long legs, that chest... I think I’m in love!"

"..."

Around Central Square, the Spiritual Power Element students broke into a flurry of discussion, their eyes filled with disbelief. The ten most powerful Ghost-devouring Demons in Shu Feng’s Synthetic Warrior Corps had clearly been defeated by Zhao Zixing. Yet, the moment Camilla appeared at Shu Feng’s side, she took down Zhao Zixing with a single arrow and turned the tide of battle, showing all the students the terrifying power of Shu Feng’s Summoned Corps.

Back in Central Square, Zhao Zixing opened her eyes and looked quietly at Shu Feng.

Shu Feng smiled slightly and extended his hand. "I’m Shu Feng. Let’s be friends."

Zhao Zixing reached out and lightly shook his hand, her eyes seemingly burning with a fiery passion. "Next time, I’ll be the one to defeat you!"

Shu Feng chuckled. "No. The gap between us will only grow wider, because I’ll just keep getting stronger. Next time, I might not even need my Summoned Corps to beat you."

"You’re so arrogant!"

"It’s called confidence."

Song He’s gaze swept over Shu Feng and Zhao Zixing, a hint of a smile in his eyes as he announced loudly, "I now declare this year’s Top Freshman is Shu Feng! Shu Feng, come up to the stage and receive your reward!"

Shu Feng strode onto the high stage as countless gazes from below—filled with envy, jealousy, and admiration—fixed on him.

Watching Shu Feng on the stage, Zhuo Qianlei couldn’t help but praise, "The Top Freshman! Number one among all the geniuses at Shuijing High School! He’s truly remarkable!"

As Zhong Jietong watched Shu Feng basking in the glory on stage, a complex, indescribable feeling welled up inside her. ’The Top Freshman! He actually became the Top Freshman of Shuijing High School!’

The Zhong Family was a major family in Lei Jiang City, with direct assets of over one hundred million and control over assets exceeding one billion. But it wasn’t until Zhong Jietong became a Spiritualist that she truly understood. In front of Spiritualists, the Zhong Family was nothing. A single Noble Family of Spiritualists could easily crush a family like hers.

As the Top Freshman of Shuijing High School, Shu Feng had already outshone the scions of many Noble Families. If he could advance to the Spirit Sect realm in the future, he could become the foundation of his own Spiritualist Noble Family.

"You can use this Library Card to look up the cultivation method for the Water Mirror Spirit Shield Technique in the Spiritual Power Library. This pill is a Dragon Essence Pill. And this jade token is your pass to the Dragon Transformation Spirit Pool. Keep them safe."

Song He smiled and handed Shu Feng a golden library card, a jade box containing the pill, and a white access card.

Below, countless searing gazes focused on the three items, all of which were treasures that could not be bought in the Extraordinary Mall.

Shu Feng said, "Thank you, Principal!"

Song He patted Shu Feng’s shoulder with a smile. "You earned these resources yourself! Cultivate hard, and don’t disappoint us!"

Song He smiled calmly. "Alright! You are all dismissed!"

Only then did the crowd begin to disperse.

Li Xuan Yi came over with a hearty laugh. "Top Freshman, you’re treating!"

Shu Feng laughed. "Alright!"

Zhao Zixing walked over and looked at Shu Feng quietly, not saying a word. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Shu Feng said, "Hey, your ladyship, would you care to join our party?"

Zhao Zixing said coolly, "I suppose I can force myself to attend your gathering."

Luo Feng laughed heartily. "Ah Feng, you’re the Top Freshman now, don’t you go forgetting your brothers!"

Ma Yu, Lin Yao, and the rest of the guys from Dorm 7 came over as well.

"Let’s all go together!"

With a smile, Shu Feng led the group toward Cafeteria No. 2.

「That evening, in Room 203 of Dorm 7.」

DING DONG! DING DONG!

The doorbell rang. When Shu Feng opened the door, he saw a tall and powerfully built young man in a Shuijing High School uniform standing outside. The visitor exuded a strong, oppressive aura.

The young man smiled. "Hello, Shu Feng. I’m Wang Anzao, from Class 7 of the second years. I have something important to discuss with you. May I come in?"

"Please, come in."

Shu Feng and Wang Anzao each took a seat on the sofa.

Wang Anzao said, "Zhuo Mingyao, the Top Second-Year—Brother Zhuo—hopes to purchase the Dragon Essence Pill and the reward for cultivating in the Dragon Transformation Spirit Pool from you."

Shu Feng raised an eyebrow. "And how much is he offering?"

"Five hundred million. This huge sum is enough to lift you out of poverty and make you a wealthy man overnight. Furthermore, Brother Zhuo also tasked me with bringing you this contract. If you sign it, he will expend his resources to train you, allowing you to rise above the common man and enjoy endless wealth and glory."

Wang Anzao smiled faintly and handed the contract to Shu Feng.

A flicker of anger crossed Shu Feng’s eyes. He took the contract and glanced over it, and a furious rage immediately welled up inside him.

According to the contract, Zhuo Mingyao would only have to spend one billion to train Shu Feng. In return, Shu Feng would have to join the Zhuo Family and pledge sixty years of loyalty to Zhuo Mingyao’s faction. The various clauses were incredibly harsh, only slightly better than a slave contract.

"A single Dragon Essence Pill is worth more than a billion, and that’s if you can even find one for sale. The opportunity to cultivate in the Dragon Transformation Spirit Pool? You couldn’t even dream of it for less than five billion. And for a pathetic one-and-a-half billion, you expect me to sell myself into servitude? You’ve got to be kidding me! Get out!"

Shu Feng ripped the contract in half, his expression turning frigid.

"Shu Feng, you’re nothing but a child from the lower class. Even if you’re the Top Freshman of Shuijing High School, you’re like a tree without roots, a river without a source! Zhuo Mingyao is the legitimate son of the Nanzhao Zhuo Family, a scion of an Upper Third-Grade Noble Family. His status is immeasurably high, and he’s destined to be a major figure in the Qianyuan Republic. With a single word, he can cast you down to hell or raise you up to the heavens."
