Since Feng had joined the team, Gongsun Mu could only work as his assistant.

With Feng here, the Military Academy wouldn’t dare make any false accusations.

If they refused to believe the evidence, the crown prince would teach them a lesson.

After Feng went off to examine the evidence, Feng Wu saw that Sheng Changtian’s face had turned livid.

She grinned. “Shall we continue?”

Sheng Changtian was listening to Zuo Qingluan’s warning in his head.

Zuo Qingluan was panic-stricken.

She could find an excuse for the True Phoenix Blood and talk herself out of it. However, things wouldn’t be so easy if Feng Wu recognized the Shadow Phoenix.

She then realized in frustration that she had used the Shadow Phoenix in the Secret Essence Mine before.

It had caused the collapse of the mine.

Elder Wu had also been there.

If Sheng Changtian activated it later, and people made the connection between the Shadow Phoenix and her True Phoenix Blood…

The thought almost gave her a heart attack.

Therefore, she gave Sheng Changtian a warning look.

Don’t activate the Shadow Phoenix!

Don’t use it!

Sheng Changtian knew what Zuo Qingluan was saying, but he wasn’t going to take orders from her.

Zuo Qingluan didn’t care if the Military Academy lost, but Sheng Changtian did.

Therefore, he grinned at Feng Wu. “Bring it on!”

Zuo Qingluan wished she could run up to the stage and throttle Sheng Changtian right now.

Damn it!

The battle resumed.

Terrifying energy filled the air.

Feng Wu didn’t give Sheng Changtian any chance. She believed battles should be finished as soon as possible.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

They exchanged rapid blows in mid-air.

Feng Wu had the upper hand.

Sheng Changtian was struck several times in the chest and kept falling back until he was at the edge of the stage.

At that critical moment, he finally used the last card up his sleeve.

The phoenix jade pendant!

Zuo Qingluan lost her last bit of hope.

Would she sit around passively on her end?

Of course not!

She was going to shoot a concealed weapon toward the stage.

She wanted to kill Sheng Changtian with it and blame it on Feng Wu. After that, the Military Academy would aim all its rage at her.

Feng Wu would never be able to rid herself of that stain.

The best way to cover up something was to create something even louder.

Zuo Qingluan wanted to save herself by killing Sheng Changtian.

However!

She was too naive.

As soon as she flipped her hand, she felt a pair of eyes on her.

She looked in that direction and met Jun Linyuan’s eyes.

They looked like bottomless pits.

She couldn’t tell what he was thinking.

There was no warmth in those eyes.

The man was ruthless.

She felt as though a sharp blade had cut her in half.

Those eyes!

Zuo Qingluan panicked.

At that moment, Sheng Changtian finally turned to his last resort.

He dropped the last drop of True Phoenix Blood onto the pendant before grinning at Feng Wu.

Inside the pendant, a phoenix woke up.

The grumpy bird didn’t like waking up.

Somebody had woken it up from a deep sleep, and it was annoyed.

Roar!

The phoenix rose from the pendant and hovered around Sheng Changtian’s head.

Fire burned in its eyes.

It wasn’t an ordinary fire.

That magical fire could burn a person to ash.
