Once again, the entire arena fell deathly silent.
The juniors stood there dumbfounded, hardly believing their own eyes.
Even the older-generation powerhouses had expressions of shock flickering through their gaze, some more than others.
"Grandfather, did Chu Feng cheat?"
Shura Zhao Kun turned his gaze toward his grandfather and secretly sent him a voice transmission.
In his own mind, his mastery of barrier art was already among the very peak of Dragon Mark level Immortal Robe Spirit World Masters.
And the blue-haired woman who had been able to surpass him should have been the absolute pinnacle among Dragon Mark level Immortal Robe Spirit World Masters — someone infinitely close to the Venerable Robe level.
Yet Chu Feng had defeated the blue-haired woman with such effortless ease.
In his eyes, that was simply impossible.
If Chu Feng had actually done it, then he must have cheated.
And his grandfather, after all, was a Dragon Mark level Venerable Robe Spirit World Master who could see through Chu Feng's true strength at a single glance — which was why he had sent the voice transmission to ask.
At that moment, Zhao Kuangfeng Yi — who had been dismissive of Chu Feng all this time — wore a heavy, solemn expression on his aged face.
He did respond to Shura Zhao Kun's secret inquiry, but with only four words.
"You are no match for him."
"What?!"
"Impossible!!"
Hearing those words, Shura Zhao Kun's body trembled and he froze on the spot.
It was the first time he had ever heard such an evaluation from his grandfather's lips.
"Your name is Chu Feng?"
Just then, the blue-haired woman suddenly spoke.
"That's right," Chu Feng replied.
"Who is your Master?" the blue-haired woman asked.
"Even if I told you, you wouldn't know them," Chu Feng said.
"You!!!" The blue-haired woman's expression darkened, but she ultimately reined in her emotions.
She was a proud person — after all, her Master was the most powerful Spirit World Master in the entire Ancestral Martial Star Domain.
But she had lost, and that defeat filled her with such shame that she felt she had no right to lash out at Chu Feng.
Whoosh— Right at that moment, a figure drifted down and landed beside the blue-haired woman — it was the red-haired woman.
"Don't worry, sister. I'll win it back for you," the red-haired woman said.
The blue-haired woman said nothing, but she gave the red-haired woman a very serious look — a look that seemed to say, *You must not be careless. You cannot lose again.* The red-haired woman nodded in response.
Only after seeing the red-haired woman's resolve did the blue-haired woman relax and step away.
"So you're Chu Feng, right? Up until now, it's been you attacking and us defending."
"How about this time I attack and you defend?"
The red-haired woman addressed Chu Feng.
"Sure, why not," Chu Feng replied with an indifferent shrug.
"Good, straightforward. Then let's begin."
As the red-haired woman spoke, her hands began forming rapid hand seals, and wave after wave of barrier power surged forth — she had already started setting up a formation.
Chu Feng did not hesitate either. Almost the very instant the woman began her formation, he set to work as well.
Both of them began constructing their formations simultaneously.
This time, both sides were fully serious.
They only stopped when roughly the time it takes for an incense stick to burn had elapsed.
Chu Feng's formation was a shield — from its outward appearance alone, it looked like a very simple defensive formation.
The woman's formation was a spear, which likewise appeared to be nothing more than an ordinary offensive formation.
In simple terms, Chu Feng's formation resembled a common shield, while the woman's formation resembled a common spear.
However, after witnessing what had transpired earlier, every junior present knew full well that these two seemingly ordinary formations were anything but ordinary.
And the older-generation figures present needed no reminding — experts of their caliber could tell at a single glance exactly what level the formations Chu Feng and the red-haired woman had constructed were at.
It was precisely because they could see through it that they were all the more astonished.
