"Grandpa, you..."
Dugu Yan was stunned. This was the first time her grandfather had been so stern with her, and she was completely bewildered.
Not only Dugu Yan, but the two Soul Emperor-level teachers and the students who had followed them were also exchanging puzzled glances, looking at Ye Feng with strange expressions.
Everyone knew that Dugu Bo was a Titled Douluo and that he doted on his granddaughter. He was also known for his domineering and arrogant nature.
Yet now, Dugu Bo was showing such respect to a young man, even going so far as to scold his own granddaughter for him! It was as if the sun had risen from the west! However, since this was a family matter, no one dared to say much.
"Esteemed Poison Douluo, what is this Star Sect? I've never heard of it..."
At that moment, the younger teacher, who appeared to be in his thirties, stepped forward. He cupped his hands respectfully toward Dugu Bo and then turned to Ye Feng, asking curiously.
The speaker was Qin Ming. Although it might not have been the best time to interject, Dugu Yan was his student, and he chose to speak up to help her out of this awkward situation.
However, Dugu Bo immediately responded, "The Star Sect is a powerful hidden sect. This Young Master Ye Feng is the Young Master of the Star Sect, and starting today, he will be a member of the main team of the Royal Fight Team."
As soon as Dugu Bo finished speaking, everyone erupted in murmurs.
"How can this be? The Royal Fight Team represents the face of the entire Heavenly Dou Royal Academy. He's just a newcomer..."
"That's right. He looks so young. He might not even be a Soul Grandmaster yet. He's not even qualified to join the second team."
"I've gone through countless trials and paid a heavy price just to barely make it into the second team. What qualifications does this kid have to join the main team?"
"Even a Titled Douluo can't be this domineering..."
The members of the Royal Fight Team were all prodigies. Although they were aware of the terrifying power of a Titled Douluo, they couldn't help but feel somewhat indignant and began to whisper complaints.
"Senior Poison Douluo, the Royal Fight Team represents the dignity of the entire royal family. Every member must pass rigorous assessments and gain the approval of the three Education Committee members to join the main team. If we rashly add a student of unknown strength, it might damage the royal family's prestige..."
Qin Ming felt this was a tricky situation, but he steeled himself and spoke up.
To him, Ye Feng looked like a teenager in his early teens, with fair skin and a handsome face. He didn't have the aura of a Battle Soul Master at all; instead, he seemed more like a playboy.
Even if his Soul Power level wasn't weak, he was likely just a showy figure. If he were allowed to join the main team, Qin Ming, as a teacher, would lose face, and the academy's reputation would suffer.
Therefore, for the sake of the academy, even if it meant offending Dugu Bo, he had to voice his concerns.
Of course, it was just a suggestion, as the final decision would ultimately rest with the three Education Committee members.
"Grandpa, you've never been like this before..." Dugu Yan also looked up at Dugu Bo with pleading eyes, her expression tinged with grievance.
Seeing Dugu Yan's pitiful expression, Dugu Bo's heart softened a little.
However, while he might feel some sympathy, he would not compromise on the matter of Ye Feng.
Under normal circumstances, he would have simply used his aura to intimidate these people and make them understand the power of a Titled Douluo.
But earlier, he had already explained the strength of the Royal Fight Team to Ye Feng, and Ye Feng had remained unmoved.
He had a sense of certainty in his heart, knowing that Ye Feng was not just all talk—he seemed to genuinely have some skills.
Thus, Dugu Bo didn't lose his temper this time. Instead, he said calmly, "Whether he's qualified or not, we'll find out by fighting."
"As long as your Royal Fight Team's main team can defeat Young Master Ye, we'll turn around and leave. But if Young Master Ye defeats you, then there's naturally no need to talk about qualifications."
Upon hearing this, Qin Ming seemed to have spotted a blind spot and asked uncertainly, "Your Excellency, Poison Douluo, are you saying that this Ye… classmate, he's going to fight our entire main team by himself???"
"Hmm, is there a problem with that?"
Dugu Bo raised an eyebrow and countered.
At this, not only the members of the second team, but even the main team members who had remained calm earlier nearly lost their composure.
"What the hell, who does he think he is, daring to challenge our entire team by himself!" "He looks like he's only fourteen or fifteen, a pretty boy, yet he dares to boast about taking on all of us!"
"I'll do it, let's see how I beat the crap out of him!!"
From the main team, the Shi Brothers, along with Yu Feng and Oslo, all spoke up, clearly feeling disrespected and becoming furious.
If it were a 1v1 duel, no one would have anything to say.
But for someone to come out and declare they'd take on the entire team! Anyone would feel uncomfortable hearing that.
"Enough talk, let's just start. I'll allow your Royal Fight Team's main team and second team to come at me together."
At this moment, Ye Feng, who had been silent all along, finally spoke.
He hadn't spoken before, but when he did, he instantly drew all the hatred! "What an arrogant kid! I admit it's impressive that you've caught the attention of His Excellency Poison Douluo, but for you to claim you'll take on both our teams by yourself—isn't that a bit too arrogant?"
At this point, even Yu Tianheng from the Royal Fight Team couldn't sit still anymore.
His team had been repeatedly provoked, and if he didn't step up now, they might truly lose face.
"Whether it's arrogance or not, we'll find out by fighting."
Ye Feng grinned, then slowly raised his hands.
"Whoosh—"
In an instant, a cluster of red flames appeared in Ye Feng's palm.
As this seemingly ordinary flame appeared, the temperature within a radius of several dozen meters suddenly rose by several degrees! Clearly, the temperature of this flame was unimaginably high!
"Ultimate… Ultimate Fire!!!!"
Seeing this, Qin Ming's pupils dilated violently!!
Not only Qin Ming, but even Dugu Bo was utterly shocked in his heart!! Such a terrifying flame could only be achieved by Ultimate Fire! "Damn, this kid Ye Feng really knows how to put on a show. He usually seems so unassuming, but who would have thought his Martial Soul possesses such a terrifying weapon as Ultimate Fire!" Dugu Bo was deeply shaken.
Other students might not fully understand, but as a Titled Douluo, Dugu Bo knew that this was the legendary Ultimate Fire, the pinnacle of fire elements!
Putting everything else aside, a Martial Soul with Ultimate Fire was fundamentally invincible within the same realm, capable of easily challenging those above its level, and its rating surpassed even Super Martial Souls!! Not only Dugu Bo, but Qin Ming, as a Tian Dou Level Teacher, had also read about the legends of "Ultimate Martial Souls" in the academy's library.
Who would have thought that Ye Feng would encounter an Ultimate Soul Spirit, a phenomenon that occurs only once in thousands of years.
Moreover, it was the most terrifying of them all—Ultimate Fire!
How could they possibly fight against that?
Of course, giving up was out of the question.
In Qin Ming's eyes, Ye Feng was still young, at most a Soul Grandmaster. Even with Ultimate Fire, he hadn't fully matured yet. Taking on the entire Royal Fight Team single-handedly would still be quite a challenge.
"Everyone, spread out! Tianheng, this is Ultimate Fire. All of you, attack together!"
With that thought, Qin Ming waved his hand and led the members of the second team to retreat swiftly.
At the same time, he directly announced the start of the battle.
Although ganging up on one person wasn't ideal, it was still better than being scared into surrender.
Besides, there was no way they could let Yu Tianheng face this alone, or he'd be turned into "lightning-roasted dragon" in no time.
