"Could he really have forgotten?" Feng Qianyu frowned slightly.
In truth, deep down, she trusted her own people more. After all, these subordinates were experts she had painstakingly recruited and nurtured, and she had even equipped them with the best gear from the Phoenix Pavilion.
For this battle, she had invested considerable effort.
The equipment was top-tier gear she had spent a great deal of time and manpower to obtain.
Even the Zero Wing Guild, renowned for its equipment, probably couldn't compare.
Feng Qianyu then opened the system, wanting to contact Hei Yan. If it really wasn't going to work out, she would have to send her own people in. There was a risk of exposure, but winning the match was equally important.
Just as Feng Qianyu was about to click to contact her friend, Shi Feng appeared in her line of sight—but not in Hei Yan's appearance. Instead, it was Ye Feng.
"Pavilion Master Feng, greetings. I am Ye Feng, the team leader appointed by Guild Leader Hei Yan for this battle," Shi Feng introduced himself calmly.
"Hello. Where is your guild leader?" Feng Qianyu glanced at Shi Feng's appearance and didn't take him seriously at all.
She already knew the name of the previous team captain, but in her view, this was a deception set up by Hei Yan to confuse the opposing team. The real leader should be Hei Yan himself, not this young-looking Ye Feng.
"The guild leader has important matters to attend to. All matters regarding the team have been delegated to me. If Pavilion Master Feng has any questions, feel free to ask me," Shi Feng said with a smile, understanding exactly what Feng Qianyu was thinking. "Besides, doesn't Pavilion Master Feng think that the leader of the Zero Wing Guild isn't really suited to participate in this kind of match?"
"So you're saying Guild Leader Hei Yan won't be participating in the Dark Arena at all?" A trace of anger flickered in Feng Qianyu's eyes, and her voice turned cold. This situation had exceeded her expectations.
"Indeed. But please rest assured, Pavilion Master Feng—this match certainly won't disappoint you." Shi Feng was unfazed by Feng Qianyu's anger and said calmly, "If you're worried, you're welcome to test me yourself."
Shi Feng was actually very curious about Feng Qianyu's current strength.
In his previous life, countless major guilds had been destroyed single-handedly by Feng Qianyu. As for the peak experts who had tried to secretly deal with her, without exception, every last one had been eliminated. This had massively boosted Feng Qianyu's prestige in the Divine Realm, earning her the title of the Fairy Queen—not only because of her devastatingly beautiful appearance, but also because of her absolute strength that left those peak experts prostrate at her feet.
Those peak experts had personally admitted that when they fought Feng Qianyu, they couldn't even wound her before she wiped them all out.
To Shi Feng in his previous life, those peak experts had been like gods—completely beyond his reach.
Yet even those experts, working together, couldn't so much as scratch Feng Qianyu before she eliminated them all. Her strength was simply beyond imagination.
However, after that battle, Feng Qianyu had almost never fought again. Nearly everything was handled by Qing Huang at her side. So just how strong Feng Qianyu truly was remained a mystery in the Divine Realm.
"As expected of the team leader chosen by Guild Leader Hei Yan—so confident. Then allow me to test you," Qing Huang stepped forward and said.
Qing Huang was furious with the current state of Zero Wing.
For such an important match, Hei Yan himself couldn't even be bothered to show up, delegating everything to subordinates. If they didn't teach these Zero Wing people a lesson and make Hei Yan lose face, it would be like treating the Phoenix Pavilion as something comparable to a mere Zero Wing.
"That's perfectly fine, but it seems time is running short," Shi Feng glanced at the time.
Less than fifteen minutes remained before the match officially began. If they didn't enter before the match started, it would count as forfeiting—the opponents would win without a fight.
"Hardly fifteen minutes—just one minute will do," Qing Huang glanced at Shi Feng, who had modified his displayed level to 35.
"What does Pavilion Master Feng think?" Shi Feng turned to look at Feng Qianyu.
"I am quite curious about Guild Leader Hei Yan's judgment. Since Hei Yan appointed you as team leader, let me see what you've got. If your strength can't even hold out for a minute, I'm afraid Guild Leader Hei Yan has been far too optimistic about you, and I'll have no choice but to reconsider our cooperation." Feng Qianyu studied him for a long moment but didn't see anything particularly impressive about Shi Feng. Although he gave her a faint hint of pressure, it was minuscule—nothing like the immense pressure Hei Yan himself had once given her. "The nearby dueling arena will work. You can start there."
Truth be told, Feng Qianyu was also quite curious about this Ye Feng identity.
