"Scram! Scram! Scram!"
The mont the Queen Huanxin spoke, the citizens of Tianhuan Island imdiately shouted loudly, telling the black-robed man to get off the island.
"You! You all!"
The black-robed man glared at the Queen Huanxin, then turned his gaze to Ling Feng, snarling, "What a Queen Huanxin, just you wait!"
The black-robed man took a deep breath, flicked his wide sleeve, and fiercely wiped the shoe print off his face before flying away from the Heavenly Illusion Palace.
"Elder Tianyi, keep an eye on him and don’t let this person appear within 500 nautical miles of Tianhuan Island, otherwise, kill him on the spot!"
Though Queen Huanxin’s voice was not loud, it clearly reached everyone’s ears, including the black-robed man’s.
The black-robed man clenched his fists and turned back to glare at Ling Feng, gritting his teeth, "You brat, you ruined everything! Hmph, you’d better stay on Tianhuan Island forever, or I’ll be the first to kill you as a sacrifice!"
Ling Feng felt the strong killing intent from the black-robed elder but rely shrugged, not caring in the slightest.
If he dared to co, it would probably be a path to his own demise!
"You kid, you must have sensed sothing wrong with him early on."
Suddenly a lazy voice ca from his ear. Ling Feng looked up to see the Queen Huanxin in red slowly standing up, her phoenix eyes fixed on Ling Feng, as if wanting to see through this young man completely.
"I noticed sothing, yes."
Ling Feng rubbed his nose, looking at the queen’s eyes, feeling a bit uneasy.
Being looked at by her, it seed like all his thoughts were seen through at a glance.
The so-called Queen Huanxin likely referred to her expertise in phantom techniques, considered top-notch, and phantom techniques were a kind of application of divine power.
In so sense, Tuoba Yan’s Tianhen Illusion Technique was sowhat similar to Queen Huanxin’s cultivation direction.
"Little guy, you really surprise . Even that old monster’s divine sense can’t compare to yours."
Queen Huanxin smiled slightly, saying, "You must have already acquired that Soul Refining secret technique, haven’t you?"
"Indeed."
Ling Feng didn’t lie, nor did he need to. Since the secret technique was stored in the Soul Stairs, it was naturally ant to be acquired.
Ling Feng took out the mysterious scroll, which had "Nightmare Heart Technique" inscribed on it, aptly indicating its connection to dreams.
"Since this Nightmare Heart Technique has been obtained by you, it is your fate. You can naturally take it, but before that, I hope to make an imprint to keep it. What do you think?"
Queen Huanxin said lightly.
"Certainly." Ling Feng nodded, curious if this "Nightmare Heart Technique" scroll wasn’t originally sealed within the Soul Stairs by Queen Huanxin?
If it was, he wouldn’t need to imprint the scroll.
Queen Huanxin raised her jade palm, capturing the scroll mid-air and drawing it into her sleeve, then continued, "Though you helped retrieve this secret technique, the kick you gave that old man also affected quite a few contestants. You must bear that responsibility."
Of course, Queen Huanxin considered that Murong Huang was from the Deserted City. While she dominated in Tianhuan Island, she still needed to give so face to the Desolate Sea Venerate in the Inner Sea.
By now, Murong Huang had climbed back up. Falling from such a height almost broke several bones, and naturally, this was counted against Ling Feng.
"You brat, you’re too much, Queen! You must severely punish this boy!"
Murong Huang wailed, his face bruised, losing his handso deanor.
Ling Feng pursed his lips, too lazy to pay any mind to Murong Huang, rely saying to Queen Huanxin calmly, "How does the Queen propose I take responsibility?"
"You’re wealthy, just pay for so dical expenses."
Queen Huanxin smiled lightly, "Pay each person ten thousand crystals to give us face, and this matter ends here!"
"Queen, you’re... you’re favoring that boy. I’m afraid people won’t accept it!"
Murong Huang was nearly furious, ten thousand crystals?
How can ten thousand crystals buy back the face I’ve lost?
Are you treating like a beggar!
"Not accepting?"
Queen Huanxin’s eyes glimred with divine light, glaring at Murong Huang, "Anyone else not accepting, step forward?"
"I..."
Murong Huang was about to move, but realized that besides himself, the other knocked-down contestants and the entire audience were all staring at him.
On Tianhuan Island, who dares to go against Queen Huanxin?
"I... I accept!"
Murong Huang didn’t dare utter a single dissenting word, swallowing his pride.
"Since you accept, little one, distribute the dical fees."
Queen Huanxin squinted with a smile. Ling Feng understood, taking out a chest of Elental Crystals from the Spirit Storage Ring, tossed it down the steps, and said lightly, "Inside are One Million Crystals, you all can divide them yourselves!"
Ling Feng, having directly harvested an Emperor Strong’s treasure vault in the God Demon Battlefield, had Zi Feng collect several hundred such boxes. Plus, everything from the Five Elents Heavenly Palace was valuable treasures, to him, money was just a number.
"Gulp!"
Several martial artists swallowed, their eyes green with envy.
This amount far exceeded ten thousand crystals per person!
Even for inner sea geniuses, tens of thousands of crystals weren’t insignificant, unless they ca from an esteed family like Murong Huang.
The most outrageous was that Yang Huanzhi, seeing Ling Feng throw out One Million Crystals, rolled off the steps, shouting, "I’m in, I’m in!"
From above, it was obvious Queen Huanxin and Xiangxiang’s mouths twitched.
This guy... such a disgrace!
Ling Feng raised an eyebrow and turned back to Queen Huanxin, saying coolly, "Your Highness, it seems only I have passed the Soul Stairs. It looks like the second-round testing isn’t necessary now?"
"That’s correct." Queen Huanxin nodded slightly, "However, besides you, a few others are capable of passing the Soul Stairs. Your kick was a foul, but since you’ve been held accountable, I’ll let it go."
Queen Huanxin paused, looked down, and announced, "The Soul Stairs assessnt ends here. Besides Ling Feng, three others have earned the right to join the second-round test."
Saying that, Queen Huanxin raised her jade hand, pulling Yang Huanzhi, Murong Huang, and another green-robed swordsman up to the high platform.
Murong Huang’s sour expression eased slightly; at least he made it to the second round, not disgracing the Deserted City too much.
The green-robed swordsman looked excited, bowing to Queen Huanxin, "Thank you, Your Highness!"
Only Yang Huanzhi muttered unwillingly, "My crystals, my crystals, I haven’t taken mine yet!"
Queen Huanxin’s lips twitched, glaring at him, making Yang Huanzhi shrink his neck, not daring to say a word more.
