Chapter 392: Spirit Sword Valley

The top-ranked contestant was the female disciple from Spirit Sword Valley.

Chu Feng hadn’t known she was from Spirit Sword Valley before, only finding out later.

The moment she appeared, she immediately sparked a heated discussion among the crowd.

Spirit Sword Valley had a formidable background; it was a place that many Sects deeply feared.

Moreover, Spirit Sword Valley had dealings with many Major Sects and their relationships were extensive.

When the woman took the stage, the crowd felt a surge of heat. She wore a form-fitting outfit that perfectly showcased her figure.

With a flirtatious expression, she winked at the audience. This simple action instantly sent a wave of heat through many of the male Cultivators.

It made them feel their blood surge, leaving them parched and restless.

"So, Spirit Sword Valley also deals in Demon Techniques? Quite the seductive display," Chu Feng said with a laugh.

"Oh? You’re not reacting at all?" Bai Han asked curiously from the side.

"This Charm Technique is useless on me," Chu Feng said.

"How so?" Bai Han asked.

"Even a beauty like you can’t bewitch me, so what chance does that enchantress on the stage have?" Chu Feng replied.

"Stop teasing. Your wife is watching from down there, you know," Bai Han said. "But speaking of which, did you sense anything unusual?"

"A little, maybe. Nothing major," Chu Feng said. "It’s just that her soul is a bit different. I suppose their Cultivation Technique must be special."

He was already beginning to understand them. While the soul fluctuations of Spirit Sword Valley’s disciples were different from those of ordinary Cultivators, they weren’t significantly stronger.

Their souls just contained some extra Charming Power. That’s why when it was unleashed, it could so easily bewitch ordinary people.

It was more akin to a Soul Skill Method than a true Soul Cultivation Skill.

Those with weaker Cultivation or wavering Heart Power would naturally be easily influenced. This was one of the reasons Spirit Sword Valley was so unique.

Chu Feng sensed that the Spirit Sword Valley Cultivators couldn’t have reached this level overnight. They likely began this training when they first started their martial arts journey as children; otherwise, it would be impossible to achieve such proficiency.

"Oh? What’s so special about it?" Bai Han asked.

"It’s nothing much. Their soul fluctuations are just different from ordinary people’s. They emit a kind of charm-like energy that can affect a normal Cultivator’s composure. Unless one’s Cultivation is very high and their Heart Power is firm, it’s basically unavoidable," Chu Feng explained.

They were an existence that even Blood Blade Manor gave a wide berth to, so naturally, there had to be a powerful reason why. The two disciples representing Blood Blade Manor had been extremely arrogant toward everyone else, but upon seeing the female disciple from Spirit Sword Valley, they didn’t dare act presumptuously and simply steered clear of her.

"So, that’s why Spirit Sword Valley can use the Charm Technique," Bai Han remarked.

"Mm, it is indeed a Charm Technique. But it’s not invincible. It has no effect against those with a powerful Divine Soul. As long as you’re strong enough, you can’t be influenced," Chu Feng said.

In this first match, the female disciple from Spirit Sword Valley merely had to stand on the stage. Her opponent was so bewitched that his Divine Soul was in turmoil, and he became completely disoriented.

With a light push from the Spirit Sword Valley disciple, he fell right off the stage. The first match was over just that easily.

In this first round, all the matches on the ten fighting stages concluded very quickly.

After all, this was a complete rout, with the top-ranked contestants crushing those at the bottom. There was barely any need to compete; a single glance could be enough to make an opponent surrender.

As the female disciple from Spirit Sword Valley left the stage after her victory, her gaze drifted toward the four Martial Arts Venerables.

Seeing how young Chu Feng was, she even gave him a seductive wink. Chu Feng, however, couldn’t be bothered to even glance her way.

Su Miaoke happened to see this, and a trace of displeasure flickered in her eyes as her fine brows furrowed.

"Sister-in-law, what’s with that disciple from Spirit Sword Valley? She’s making eyes at Big Brother Chu Feng," Chu Wushuang asked curiously.

"Don’t worry," Su Miaoke said, her faith in Chu Feng unwavering. "Your Big Brother Chu Feng won’t pay her any mind."

"Yeah, I’ve heard some things about Spirit Sword Valley," Chu Wushuang said. "The women there are all shameless. They’re all beautiful, sure, but they make it their business to seek out talented disciples from the Major Sects. As long as the man is powerful, they don’t care what he’s like—they’ll marry him. That’s why, behind their backs, a lot of people have a bad impression of Spirit Sword Valley. Some even call it a high-class brothel."

"That’s just how some people are. You see it everywhere," Su Miaoke said calmly, unfazed by such things.

However, the moment Chu Wushuang’s words fell, a cold shout suddenly rang out: "You’re courting death!"

Not far from where Chu Wushuang and Su Miaoke stood, an old woman’s expression turned frigid as she suddenly launched an attack toward them.
