"Empress of the Nine Heavens" - Find the latest chapter!

"Hmm... hmm..." This wasn't part of the script for that day. Even though she knew it was just an act, Xue Zhiyu still felt very uncomfortable with such intimacy. The idea of him wiping her sweat felt awkward. Her mind was momentarily blank, and she didn't know what to say, so she quickly reached out to take Wang Feng's towel. "I'll do it myself."

"Princess, we're acting. Try to be more natural, soften your gaze, and look affectionate. Otherwise, others won't believe it."

Old Wang whispered with a smile, then gently wiped the towel across Xue Zhiyu's forehead.

Xue Zhiyu hadn't expected him to be so bold, but now that the towel was on her face, her body stiffened slightly. Refusing at this point would seem too deliberate. Wang Feng noticed that up close, Xue Zhiyu had the best skin among the girls he knew. It was truly crystal clear and flawless, perhaps comparable to Lucky Heaven, although seeing only her forehead made it hard to judge.

"Your Highness, please cooperate and show some concern," Wang Feng whispered.

Xue Zhiyu, having never experienced anything like this before, tried to change the subject. "That... how was the rune class this morning?"

"Don't mention it." Old Wang spoke tenderly, "During the time we were apart, I couldn't stop thinking about you. I don't know what I'd do if I lost you. What would you like for dinner tonight? I..."

As he spoke, his words turned into whispers, even though he didn't actually whisper them.

The Tassia siblings, who had been somewhat stunned, twitched their foreheads slightly. Xue Zhiyu felt a bit helpless and slightly distanced herself.

"Damn, shameless!"

"How could he say such embarrassing things!"

"Do not be disrespectful to Princess Zhiyu!"

Without Xue Zhiyu needing to say anything, the male wizards nearby, who had their mouths agape, could no longer bear it and started shouting. Frankly, everyone could accept Princess being pursued by Aota, given that they couldn't beat him and he was a suitable match. But what was happening now?

In broad daylight, the pale-faced man from the south dared to speak such shamelessly flirtatious words. What was this?

This was clearly the essence of a scoundrel living off a woman!

If a hero takes away one's beloved,

it is called a beauty with a hero.

If a scoundrel takes away one's beloved, damn... it is called an outrage!

Not only would the uncle not tolerate it, neither would the aunt!

"Wang Feng!"

A male wizard in blue Ice Spirit robes stepped forward. He was tall and stood out among the disciples, exuding a leader-like presence. He shouted loudly, "I heard you are Junior Brother to Senior Karida, a formidable expert. I want to challenge you to a one-on-one duel. Come on!"

Xue Zhiyu, who had been unsure how to respond, secretly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling as if she had been saved. She was about to turn around to deal with the situation when Wang Feng said with a smile, "We Roses specialize in runes; our combat skills are average. Being called an expert is too much praise."

This kid is backing down!

Many of the male wizards' expressions became interesting. Forcing him was definitely not an option, but backing down was good. If he backed down, he would reveal his true colors. The people of the Ice Spirit Kingdom were tough, and there was no way the princess would like a weakling.

Everyone chimed in, "Really? Everyone says you're an all-rounder!"

There were many supporters, all united against a common enemy.

"Wang Feng, you're too modest! As Senior Karida's junior brother, you can easily take on ten of us!"

"Give us some pointers! Wei En always admires Senior Karida. You're practically family!"

The wizard named Wei En smiled and stepped forward. "Indeed, Senior Karida is my idol. Fighting her junior brother is a great honor. Wang Feng, don't refuse. This is a challenge from a Winterian. Not accepting it means looking down on me and the Winterians!"

"But... I have plans with Zhiyu," Old Wang said hesitantly. "We agreed to go to Cloudstep Tower this afternoon to enjoy the beautiful scenery of the ice kingdom from its peak..."

Damn! The scene played out vividly in everyone's minds, like those ridiculous operas that make every real man vomit.

The male wizards couldn't sit still anymore. If they didn't break this pale-faced man's legs today and prevent him from going to Cloudstep Tower, they would be ashamed of their identity as citizens of the Ice Spirit Kingdom.

"Giving us pointers won't take long. It won't delay anything!"

"Wang Feng, Wei En is very weak compared to you. I bet you can finish the fight in a minute!"

"That would be bullying, wouldn't it?" Old Wang shook his head repeatedly. "I don't like bullying."

Hearing this, Xue Zhiyu knew something bad was about to happen, but it was too late to stop it.

Wei En, known as the Ice Cannon in the Wizard Academy for both his powerful ice magic and fiery temper, laughed and stomped his left foot on the ground fiercely. He said menacingly, "Wang Feng! Are you a man or not? I won't beat around the bush. If you dare pursue my goddess, you need to show some skill. In the Ice Spirit Kingdom, only heroes deserve our beauties. If you have the guts, fight me one-on-one. If not, get lost and stay away from the princess. Otherwise, I'll beat you every time I see you!"

"If you want to fight, I'll accompany you," the muscular Tatashi said. The princess couldn't say anything, but they were here to protect her. They couldn't let Wang Feng back down, even though he also disliked this scrawny pale-faced man.

"Tatashi, this has nothing to do with you. I'm speaking for everyone!"

Suddenly, everyone was riled up. "Exactly! Just a friendly spar. Let us see the prowess of the Roses."

"I really am not good at fighting..."

Just as everyone was about to mock him, they saw Wang Feng walking into the arena. "One fight! Just one fight. No second rounds after someone else finishes, or who could handle it..."

He had seemed so scared earlier, but now he suddenly wanted to fight. Everyone was a bit confused by the sudden change. Xue Zhiyu frowned. Did he really believe that Wei En was weak?

But Wang Feng had already entered the arena, and it was too late to stop him.

To be honest, Xue Zhiyu had never believed this plan would work. How could her father and Aota, who were so cunning, be fooled by someone who didn't exist?

However, she was about to leave. Once she was gone, her father would likely be even stricter with Xuecai. No one would dare to play along with her anymore. Seeing Xuecai's enthusiasm, Xue Zhiyu didn't want to disappoint her. Of course, she also hoped that even if the plan failed, it might distract some people initially, providing cover for her departure.

Unfortunately, this Wang Feng couldn't keep his cool. He was fake, so how could he...

Tassia and her brother, who knew the whole story, gave Xue Zhiyu a helpless smile.

"Let's get this started!"

"Senior Brother Wei En, don't hold back on him, use your ultimate move!"

The male wizards around them instantly became excited. Although Wei En wasn't considered top-tier in the Wizard Academy, he was certainly above average, with remarkable soul power, especially his Ice Roar, which earned him his nickname.

The arena quickly cleared out, and the noise was deafening. Wei En was already prepared for battle.

A person's reputation precedes them; after all, he is Senior Karida's junior. If he has even a tenth of her skill, I might be in for a rough ride.

An ice staff appeared in Wei En's hand, and he asked coldly, "Senior Karida is a sword expert. What weapon do you need?"

Wang Feng looked around, "I'm not very good with swords... Tatashi, right? I remember your name is Tatashi. Can I borrow your shield?"

Tatashi hesitated but still handed over his large shield, "It's heavy!"

Old Wang nodded, "No problem." He tried to lift it but couldn't, causing everyone to laugh. Old Wang didn't mind, "Good shield!"

Tatashi looked helplessly at Xue Zhiyu, who gestured for him to step back. Wang Feng hid behind the large shield, almost completely concealing himself.

To determine if a wizard or a gunner is skilled, one only needs to observe their sense of distance.

Being close to the enemy increases burst damage but also makes oneself more vulnerable.

Being far from the enemy reduces attack power but ensures personal safety. Kiting tactics are always the first choice for ranged fighters.

Some wizards immediately retreat to a distance, indicating a lack of confidence, but Wei En was different.

A sneer curled at the corner of his mouth as he took a deep breath.

Whoosh...

Ice currents swirled around him, converging into his mouth. His soul power gathered wildly within him, turning his eyes white.

"It's Ice Roar. He's using his ultimate move right away."

"He definitely will! Why give him a chance to surrender?"

"Take him down!"

Boom...

An Ice Roar struck the shield directly, shaking Wang Feng and the shield violently. Everyone laughed, knowing that such a defensive stance would lead nowhere. A rune master shouldn't accept challenges.

It's too late now.

Wei En gathered his soul power, preparing an even stronger attack. Soul Overlord skills require some time, but he could ignore this coward. He intended to blast both Wang Feng and the shield away, not to kill but to embarrass him in front of the princess.

Suddenly, Wang Feng stepped forward, a smile on his face: Fireball!

Fireball... Ball, ball, ball!

The basic attack of fire wizards, similar to ice spears, but fire wizards have higher attack power. Was Wang Feng's fireball just any ordinary fireball? Its power aside, the key was its number and control. A series of fireballs caught Wei En off guard; he never expected such a weakling to counterattack.

More importantly, the moment the first fireball hit, something felt wrong. Fire and ice naturally counter each other, and many here lacked combat experience against fire wizards. The fireballs disrupted his spell preparation, and when he tried to dodge, a barrage of small fireballs hit him. Wei En had some skill and knew he needed to dodge and counterattack, but no matter how he moved, the fireballs kept interrupting him, accurately predicting his movements. Wei En screamed in pain, and the fireballs specifically targeted his head.

Worse yet, it happened in front of the princess. His prized hair caught fire, and in a fit of rage, he tried to gather soul power again but was hit once more, like being kicked in the gut. He collapsed, gasping for air, with smoke coming out of his ears.

The crowd fell silent, stunned by what they saw. When did fire wizards become so powerful? This was an ice spirit.

Generally, lightning wizards have greater attack power than fire wizards, who in turn have greater attack power than ice wizards. However, ice wizards excel in prolonged battles and team fights due to their freezing effects stacking. There were no fire wizards among the ice spirits, as it went against the environment.

But the situation before them left everyone speechless, unsure of what had just happened.

Xue Zhiyu was speechless too, as there was nothing impressive about it. Wei En had no defense at all. As a wizard, especially an ice wizard, he foolishly used a time-consuming Soul Overlord skill without securing an advantage first.

"Job done," Wang Feng said, not even glancing at the fallen Wei En. He patted the shield contentedly and said sweetly, "Zhiyu, it's time for us to go eat..."
