"Mr. Ye, I didn't expect you to still have the mind to study my martial arts. You are far too presumptuous!"

As soon as Qiu Miaozhen finished speaking, she waved her hands, and the water balls were immediately under her control, changing their trajectory and hurtling towards Ye Feng.

The water spheres that attacked earlier were mostly in a straight line, but now these water spheres seem to have eyes, constantly attacking Ye Feng, no matter where Ye Feng dodges.

Night Wind stopped dodging and instead summoned Thunder to smash the water spheres one by one in mid-air.

"Since you've used your magical artifact, Mr. Ye, then I'll use mine too."

After Qiu Miaozhen finished speaking, a lush green lotus leaf appeared in her hand.

With a gentle wave of her hand, Qiu Miaozhen sent droplets of dew flying from the lotus leaf. These droplets grew larger as they faced the wind, quickly transforming into larger water spheres.

The number of water balloons suddenly increased many times over, making it much more difficult for the night wind to cope.

However, this was all just an illusion deliberately created by the night wind.

If Ye Feng were to unleash his true power, breaking through Qiu Miaozhen's attack would be an absolute breeze.

"I'm not fighting anymore. I'm no match for you. I admit defeat," Ye Feng said with a wry smile.

"That's it? Mr. Ye, you haven't even shown the strength you had when you fought Qian Bingfeng yet, have you? Giving up so quickly isn't your style. Show me your true skills!" Qiu Miaozhen's eyebrows furrowed, her expression furious.

This woman is really persistent.

"Since you put it that way, Miss Qiu, then so be it."

As soon as Ye Feng finished speaking, his aura surged, almost reaching the True Essence Realm!

Qiu Miaozhen's face finally turned serious, her beautiful eyes staring straight at Ye Feng without blinking.

"Gale Slash!"

The night wind let out a soft shout and slashed with its sword.

However, this so-called Gale Slash was not a martial skill at all; it was just a casual strike by Ye Feng.

But Qiu Miaozhen believed it to be true, and the sword energy coming towards her was indeed very sharp.

Then Qiu Miaozhen let out a high-pitched scream, and her body trembled.

The next moment, Qiu Miaozhen's momentum rose steadily, and she broke through the barrier between the Separation and Union Realm and the True Essence Realm in one fell swoop!

"True Essence Realm!"

"And it's not even the first level of the True Essence Realm, but the third level!"

"Li Fengyue, who exactly is Qiu Miaozhen? With her strength, she could be an elder in your sect. She is definitely not an ordinary disciple of the Fengling Sect!"

Zhao Qingyun and Sun Chaozhen looked at Li Fengyue in surprise.

Jiang Lingxuan and Sun Muqing also looked at Li Fengyue with curiosity.

Li Fengyue could only manage a wry smile.

Now that things had come to this, Li Fengyue no longer concealed anything and said, "Junior Sister Qiu is indeed not a disciple of our Fengling Sect. She is merely using the identity of a disciple of our Fengling Sect to travel around Linghuang Island. As for who she is specifically, you'd better not ask. I cannot and will not say."

Zhao Qingyun and Sun Chaozhen were still very curious.

However, since Li Fengyue had already said so much, they didn't press the matter further.

The contest on the stage has now been decided.

Ye Feng stumbled back several steps before finally regaining his footing, and his clothes were somewhat tattered.

In contrast, Qiu Miaozhen was completely clean and tidy, without a single scratch on her body.

It's clear that Qiu Miaozhen won this round.

"Are you satisfied now?" Ye Feng asked with a wry smile.

"You flatter me, Mr. Ye."

Qiu Miaozhen said with satisfaction.

Ye Feng gave Qiu Miaozhen a meaningful look and said, "I didn't expect you to be a True Yuan Realm expert. If that's the case, why did you suppress your strength before? You shouldn't be a disciple of the Wind Spirit Sect, right?"

"I am indeed not a disciple of the Wind Spirit Sect, but you will soon find out who I really am, Mr. Ye," Qiu Miaozhen said with a smile, her expression a mix of arrogance and mystery.

Ye Feng had already understood, so he didn't ask any more questions.

The martial arts tournament has ended.

The champion was Qiu Miaozhen.

Seeing Qiu Miaozhen holding a gleaming golden trophy, her smile as radiant as a blooming peach blossom, Ye Feng chuckled and shook his head.

Li Fengyue, Zhao Qingyun, and others stepped forward to offer their congratulations, and the people of Linghuang Island present were also excitedly discussing the matter.

"I never expected that Mr. Ye would lose to Qiu Miaozhen in the end."

"Speaking of which, who exactly is this Qiu Miaozhen? Is there such a person on Linghuang Island? How come I've never heard of her before?"

"Yes, I haven't heard of it either."

"She's said to be a disciple of the Fengling Sect, but if she's so powerful, even stronger than Li Fengyue, the sect leader's disciple, why was she completely unknown before?"

"Why bother with all that? Is this something ordinary people like us should worry about?"

"Haha, that's true!"

The audience erupted in applause, cheers, and shouts.

The solemn atmosphere intensified, finally reaching its climax.

However, the martial arts competition had come to a complete end. Ye Feng had no interest in watching the celebration ceremony afterward and directly took Jiang Lingxuan and Sun Muqing back to the inn.

"Night Breeze, how does it feel to lose to that Qiu Miaozhen?" Jiang Lingxuan said with a giggle.

Sun Muqing also looked at Ye Feng with curiosity.

Ye Feng said calmly, "You all know my strength, so why ask? Besides, Qiu Miaozhen has an extraordinary background and a mysterious identity, so it's perfectly reasonable for me to deliberately lose to her."

"Who exactly is she?" Jiang Lingxuan asked with a sigh.

“Anyway, they’re not disciples of the Wind Spirit Sect,” Sun Muqing said with absolute certainty.

Just as Ye Feng was about to voice his guess, a knock came at the door.

"Who?" Sun Muqing asked.

"It's me."

A familiar girl's voice came from outside the door.

Sun Muqing quickly realized that it was Huang Yue's voice!

How did Huang Yue end up here?

Although puzzled, Sun Muqing still went over and opened the door.

Seeing that it was indeed Huang Yue outside the door, Sun Muqing smiled and said, "Miss Huang, what brings you here? And how did you find out that we live here?"

Huang Yue gracefully bowed before explaining, "Mr. Ye, Miss Jiang, Miss Sun, you've been staying here without hiding your whereabouts, so it was easy for me to find out. The reason I've come to see you is to ask you a favor."

“A request you can make? Please speak freely,” Sun Muqing said.

Huang Yue hesitated.

Seeing this, Sun Muqing smiled and said, "Come in first, let's talk inside."

As he spoke, Sun Muqing grabbed Huang Yue's hand and pulled her into the room.

Jiang Lingxuan then cast a barrier to isolate the inside from the outside, so that no matter what Huang Yue said, no one outside could hear it.
