Beauty Portraits: I Build a Harem in Another World

But what no one knew was that the priestess's punch at Qin Feng wasn't meant to beat him up, but rather... to kill him!

Unfortunately, Qin Feng was no longer the same person he used to be. So, facing this girl's seemingly inevitable punch, he simply pointed a finger at her, and the priestess's fist was instantly unable to penetrate any further. Then, Qin Feng looked up at her and asked, "Who sent you?"

Chapter 85: It Never Ends, Another Female Assassin

As expected, the priestess girl didn't reply at all, but instead launched another fierce attack on Qin Feng, each punch more powerful than the last. Most importantly, she even used a paladin's skill.

Then, at that moment, the people below the stage realized that the raging battle aura emanating from her was actually... at the tenth level!

Are level 10 experts as common as cabbages now?

It's unbelievable that a female priest in the Royal Military Academy can possess the strength of a tenth-tier priest and even know paladin skills?

of course not……

Amidst everyone's utter astonishment, Qin Feng suddenly unleashed an extremely powerful mental shock. At the same time, several spinning bone shields appeared out of thin air around him, not only blocking the priestess's fierce attacks but also launching more than ten whistling bone spears as if they were free, forcing the priestess back. After maintaining a certain distance, Qin Feng, as a mage, began to completely take over the battle!

Curse Spell: Weakness!

Curse of Aging!

Curse spell * Fear!

Bone Spear! Soul of Bones! Bone Prison! Venomous Nova! Finger of Death!

Everyone on the sidelines, including the referees, stared in disbelief as the Third Prince, who had always been considered a good-for-nothing, suddenly leaped into the air. Then, with a massive magic circle unfolding behind him, he unleashed a barrage of high-level necromancy spells as if they were free, without even needing to chant!

Therefore, even though her opponent possessed the strength of the tenth rank, the powerful battle aura surrounding her was completely exhausted by Qin Feng's attacks in a matter of minutes. Most importantly, facing Qin Feng's endless spells, she had no way to escape and was eventually pierced through the abdomen by a bone spike from Qin Feng and pinned to the ground!

At this point, no one would think this was still a normal match!

Sure enough, Qin Feng landed and walked straight up to the guy, squatted down, and then tore off a piece of... skin from her face!

It was a human skin mask...

So this is another assassin!

Moreover, she was a top-tier assassin with tenth-level strength, and her goal was to assassinate the Third Prince, Qin Feng!

"Will you confess yourself, or should I help you?" Qin Feng looked at the female assassin in front of him, whose face was somewhat panicked and even confused. He casually tossed the human skin mask aside. Although his words were soft, they made the female assassin tremble all over. She never expected that she would fail, and she never expected that Qin Feng's strength would be so abnormal.

Most importantly, she knew very well what would happen to her if she fell into the hands of a necromancer. Whether she spoke up or not, the necromancer had plenty of ways to get what he wanted, so after hesitating for a moment, she spoke up decisively.

"I'll tell you... I'll tell you everything!"

It was obvious that she didn't want to die, because she still had things to hold her back...

This female assassin is named Nataya, from the Noah Empire of the Western Continent. This is also an old and powerful nation, with a history even longer than that of the Qin Empire. Therefore, it has considerable influence in both the Eastern and Western Continents and has also established a liaison office in the capital of the Qin Empire. Nataya is one of the members of the office and has been living in the Qin capital for four years...

To put it simply, Nataya was a diplomatic officer sent abroad. However, since she was a military attaché, she was only responsible for the safety of other people in the office and did not need to collect intelligence or anything like that, so she lived a pretty comfortable life.

Over the past four years, Nataya has completely fallen in love with the Qin Empire, and she has even brought her husband and daughter over!

But just the night before last, she suddenly received a secret order from His Majesty the Emperor of the Noah Empire, demanding that she find a way to assassinate Qin Feng, the third prince of the Great Qin Empire! Mei, where are you? Mei, not here yet...

Moreover, this order must be carried out, because it comes from His Holiness the Pope, the supreme ruler of the Holy See!

As mentioned earlier, since Qin Feng was the only 'remnant' of the Kelvin family, the mortal enemy of the Holy Light Church, the Holy Light Church had always wanted to eliminate him as soon as possible. However, because Qin Feng had shown great incompetence since childhood, the Holy Light Church eventually gave up on this operation. After all, it was not worthwhile to completely offend the Great Qin Empire for the sake of a good-for-nothing.

Especially since Qin Feng was always deep inside the palace when he was a minor, the Holy See of Light had to send people into the heavily guarded palace to get rid of him, which was obviously very difficult!

Everyone thought that the 'Holy War' would fade away and the Kelvin family would eventually 'die out naturally', but unexpectedly, many years later, His Highness the Third Prince suddenly appeared out of nowhere...

First, the old emperor Qin Ziming officially allowed the third prince Qin Feng to appear in front of the court officials. Then, he arranged several marriages for him, and they were all very impressive marriages. For example, Bai Zhiwei, who had General Bai and most of the military in the empire behind her, and then there was Princess Inazuma, Kaori Yoda!

The problem is, the eldest prince, Qin Yu, has nothing!

Therefore, many astute individuals immediately realized that the Third Prince, Qin Feng, might be the best candidate for successor in the old emperor's heart...

The question is, would any emperor, knowing full well that his son was an idiot, still insist on handing over the vast Qin Empire to him?

If the old emperor only had one son, that would be understandable, as it was out of necessity. But the situation is different now. After all, the eldest prince, Qin Yu, has always been outstanding, and even the fourth prince, Tang Yunjie, is just beginning to show his talents. So why was it the third prince in the end?

It's very simple. The Third Prince Qin Feng is not the fool everyone thinks he is. That was just a smokescreen, designed to protect the Third Prince's safe and healthy growth!

Especially after the Holy See obtained some details about the Third Prince Qin Feng's journey to Qingzhou Port to welcome Princess Inazuma Kaori, and with messages passed on by Inazuma's spies, the Holy See finally understood that the Third Prince of the Great Qin Empire was not only the last remnant of the Kelvin family, but also a super genius necromancer, who had even reached the tenth rank at a young age!

No wonder the Third Prince has remained hidden from the world for so many years. No wonder there are rumors everywhere that this Third Prince is a good-for-nothing. It turns out that all of this is a carefully crafted lie, a facade to fool others, and a means to deceive the Holy See!

Undoubtedly, the Pope of Light, knowing he had been tricked, was furious and immediately ordered the assassination of Qin Feng, the ultimate scourge.

The problem was that sending assassins from the Western Continent would take too long, and their unfamiliarity with the Qin Empire's environment could easily lead to mistakes. Therefore, the Pope ultimately entrusted the task to the Noah Empire, since they already had an office in the Qin Empire.

Then the Noah Empire secretly ordered Nataya to carry out this assassination mission...

As a vassal state of the Holy See, the Noah Empire had no choice but to accept this task.

However, they did not want to offend the Qin Empire. Although the two countries were far apart and war was unlikely, the exchanges between the East and West continents were quite frequent. Many goods from the East were popular in the West. If the Noah Empire and the Qin Empire were to become enemies, it would inevitably affect the interests of many parties. Therefore, after consideration, Nataya and her group decided to carry out an assassination plan of 'escape from danger'.

Because she had been silently observing Qin Feng's lifestyle at the Royal Military Academy for the past two days, she knew very well that Qin Feng was always accompanied by someone. It was completely impossible for her to kill him silently, especially since, according to the information, this prince actually had the strength of a tenth-level expert...

Fortunately, he was a mage. Once a tenth-tier warrior or assassin gets close, it's difficult for any mage to gain the upper hand. The problem is, how is Nataya going to get close to Qin Feng?

And it has to be done alone, without anyone else interfering...

Nataya devised more than ten plans, and finally chose the one she had now. She disguised herself as a student of the Chinese Military Academy, and then stood in front of Qin Feng in the name of an official competition. As expected, because her strength far exceeded that of the other students in the military academy, the Third Prince Qin Feng was not focused on the competition after he entered the arena. So as long as she could quickly deal with Qin Feng's palace maids, she would have the opportunity to rush to him and then... kill him with one blow!

Next, she'll definitely take advantage of the chaos to run away and never return to the Qin Empire. After all, the Qin Empire is far away and the emperor can't possibly cross the entire eastern and western continents to hunt her down!

Chapter 86: Strength Displayed, Yet Morals Destroyed

The plan was good, but Nataya's only miscalculation was the strength of the Third Prince, Qin Feng...

Or rather, everyone seriously underestimated Qin Feng's strength!

Because at first, when many people heard that the useless third prince of the Qin Empire actually possessed tenth-level strength, not a single person believed it!

Even Nataya didn't believe it, because she had lived in the Qin Empire for more than four years and knew very well how the news about the Third Prince came about. She had also heard some jokes about the Third Prince from her colleagues, so before this, she really thought the Third Prince was a complete idiot... Where is Mei? Mei is not here, you are not free, Lin is here, is she here...

Even though it is now known and confirmed that the Third Prince Qin Feng is indeed a necromancer with the strength of a tenth-level necromancer, no one would believe that he achieved his strength through his own cultivation. It is probably due to some means or other methods of the royal family that forcibly turned the Third Prince into what he is now.

Of course, the infamous Kelvin family might have some secret method to preserve their power.

In conclusion, although Prince Qin Feng, the Third Prince, has the strength of the tenth rank, his abilities are external and he is too young to fully control them. Therefore, he is unlikely to be able to fully unleash the power of a tenth-rank necromancer!

But now Nataya's own 'experience' has proven just how naive all their guesses were...

Despite the suddenness of the attack and the fact that Qin Feng received no warning, his reaction to her deadly punch and the hidden weapon within it was highly unusual. He showed no panic whatsoever, simply watching calmly...

Then Nataya's fist collided with a bone shield, followed by another. At the same time, more than a dozen terrifying bone spikes appeared out of thin air beside Qin Feng and headed straight for her chest!

At that moment, even if Nataya could kill Qin Feng, she would inevitably die a horrible death. So she had no choice but to give way. As a result, she completely lost the initiative. The next second, the necromancer's most infamous and troublesome curse spell appeared. Nataya not only felt her whole body become severely sluggish and her reactions slowed down, but she also felt so weak that she couldn't stand up. But this was far from the end, because what she was facing was an overwhelming barrage of necromancy!

Most importantly, Qin Feng immediately took to the air to create distance between himself and her, making her a sitting duck for necromancy!

Then, when the exploding venomous nova ignored her battle aura defenses, struck her body, and took effect, Nataya already knew her fate, because from beginning to end, she hadn't seen Qin Feng make any chanting movements!

All magic, regardless of its level, was being cast silently!

Even with a high-level necromancy spell like the Finger of Death, a terrifying move that could instantly kill someone with low health, Qin Feng merely extended his finger!

Where is he not a genuine tenth-level mage?

Even many real tenth-level mages can't do this, okay?

So all Nataya could do after that was to keep pushing her fighting spirit forward and desperately resist all of Qin Feng's attacks until she was finally exhausted and pinned to the ground by Qin Feng's bone spikes, unable to move...

At that moment, the only thing Nataya could think of was her husband and daughter. Shouldn't they have left the Qin Empire by now?

I'm sorry, Shirley, Mom may never see you again!

All of this seemed to take a long time, but in reality it only lasted a little over a minute. It wasn't until Qin Feng walked over, squatted down in front of Nataya, and tore off the human skin mask from her face that the academy instructor in charge of the referee finally reacted and hurriedly blew the warning whistle!

Soon the academy guards arrived, but there was nothing left for them to do. Nataya had already honestly told Qin Feng everything she knew... because she really didn't want to die, so she cooperated very well, answering whatever Qin Feng asked, and even honestly telling him things he hadn't asked!

Then, the special affairs garrison of the capital arrived and took Nataya away. Who knows what fate awaits her!

The assassination of a prince is no small matter anywhere, especially since Qin Feng is the third crown prince, making the matter even more sensitive. Therefore, after receiving the firsthand information, the special guard team of the capital immediately sealed off the Noah Empire's office and arrested all those involved!

Unfortunately, the response here was swift, and some important figures had already disappeared without a trace...

Of course, these things were none of Qin Feng's concern, because His Majesty the Emperor soon learned of the matter. He was furious and not only ordered a thorough investigation, but also announced that all trade and economic relations with the Noah Empire and even the Western Continent would be severed until the matter was investigated!

From now on, everyone who comes to the Great Qin Empire from the Western Continent and stays there must report to the nearest garrison, or they will be treated as illegal immigrants!

Without a doubt, this matter has blown up completely...

Then everyone realized that the Third Prince Qin Feng was definitely not the useless person he was rumored to be. On the contrary, he was an extremely powerful genius. He was only eighteen years old, but he had already reached the tenth level of strength and become a rare and the youngest Grand Magister in the history of the continent!

Level ten!

But this was even more shocking to the Royal Military Academy cadets who had watched the entire competition, because none of them had expected things to turn out this way...

To be honest, although Qin Feng had returned to the military academy and started participating in every competition, his act of bringing palace maids to the competition was really disgusting to many people. So when Nataya knocked down Hu Xiafei, almost everyone who came to watch the competition cheered excitedly. Especially when they saw her rushing towards the unsuspecting Third Prince, many people even began to gloat and look forward to Qin Feng being beaten up by this priestess girl!

But at this moment, everything took an unexpected turn. The Third Prince, whom everyone thought was a good-for-nothing, suddenly transformed into a super mage. Not only did he unleash a large number of spells without chanting, but he also defied gravity and levitated into the air...

Everyone's worldview was completely overturned. The Third Prince was actually a tenth-level mage.

sky!!

But it was only at this moment that everyone realized that the Third Prince's opponent was also a tenth-level expert!

Because her battle aura had completely solidified into a tangible form capable of withstanding all attacks, and she possessed a super defensive skill that only a tenth-tier warrior could have, all of this proclaimed to everyone Nataya's true paladin profession and strength. Yet, this expert, who was usually high above and even looked up to by others, could only struggle against the Third Prince's magical machine gun, without even the slightest power to fight back. In the end, after Nataya's battle aura was completely exhausted, a bone spike ended the battle!

For a moment, many people couldn't believe their eyes. They even rubbed their eyes several times, but... it was true!

Because Nataya's chest and abdomen were pierced by a hideous bone spur, her condition was not only miserable, but she was also in imminent danger!

In other words, what just happened wasn't a competition at all, but a life-or-death battle?

Then everyone finally realized that Nataya was not a contestant at all; she had only disguised herself as one, and her real purpose was to assassinate the Third Prince.

Fortunately, Nataya did not die in the end, because just as he was questioning her, Qin Feng released another spell.

Tenth-tier necromancy, Curse*Blood Heal!

Nataya's injuries healed at a visible speed, but she could do nothing more, as the military academy guards had arrived and quickly detained her...

But in fact, Qin Feng released the Blood Healing Technique not to save her, but for Hu Xiafei.

Hu Xiafei was seriously injured and is still in a coma!

Chapter 87: So What If the Holy War Begins?

This was unavoidable. Qin Feng had told Hu Xiafei during the last competition that most of the participants were at least at the sixth level, with the highest being just over the seventh. Therefore, she had to be careful when she attacked, making sure not to hurt anyone! (The remaining text appears to be random characters and doesn't translate directly.)

So Hu Xiafei didn't think too much about it; she thought it was just for fun.

This time, the opponent was not only a very deceptive priestess, but Nataya also launched a sharp attack that went straight for the vital points. Most importantly, Nataya did not hold back, because she wanted to get rid of the troublesome palace maid as quickly as possible so that she could catch Qin Feng off guard!

So Hu Xiafei was unlucky, and really unlucky...

Fortunately, Hu Xiafei had been through many battles and had experienced many life-and-death trials in the Thunder God Arena. Even more fortunately, she met Qin Feng, and then the Third Prince gave her a perfect fusion with a goddess's soul—Nong Ji.

Although Hu Xiafei did not actively activate her divine soul form, in the critical moment, Nong Ji's power still subconsciously erupted, helping to block some of Nataya's attacks, which was why she barely managed to save her life...

After all, even with Nong Ji's awakened soul, Hu Xiafei is only at the ninth level, which is still far behind Nataya at the tenth level!

So in the instant of the encounter, Hu Xiafei's chest was almost completely shattered by Nataya, and she didn't know how many of her ribs were broken. Fortunately, Hu Xiafei's experience and instinct made her subconsciously use her battle qi to protect her heart. Then, after Nong Ji's soul took over her body, it immediately resolved some of Nataya's damage, and Hu Xiafei barely survived. But by then, she was almost dead.

If no one takes care of it, it will probably perish completely in just a few breaths.

Therefore, Qin Feng unleashed the tenth-tier Blood Healing Technique without hesitation!

After all, she was a girl he happened to acquire. Not only had she already lit up her star and possessed a divine soul form, but most importantly, it was a buy-one-get-one-free deal. Wouldn't it be great to have a mother-daughter duo?

But the problem is...

Would I say that this Blood Healing Technique, once it was unleashed, directly enveloped most of the Royal Military Academy?

There's no way around it; compared to when he was in Qingzhou Port, Qin Feng's strength has improved significantly again. Not only have he more than doubled the number of TR-level beauty portraits, but more importantly, as he signs more and more girls, the percentage increase in contract bonuses is becoming increasingly outrageous, especially in terms of mana. Bai Zhiwei's contract attribute alone has increased his mana by 10%!

Naturally, the effect of Qin Feng's Blood Healing Technique this time was vastly different from the last time. Not only did Hu Xiafei immediately regain consciousness, but her terrifying injuries also visibly healed rapidly. Moreover, she stood up on her own in just half a minute!

But Nataya and Hu Xiafei weren't the only ones to benefit from the Blood Healing Spell. Everyone present, as well as all the students and teachers within its range, experienced the power of a tenth-tier advanced spell for free. Not only were their minor physical ailments instantly swept away, but some people's long-standing illnesses also vanished in an instant. As for others' headaches, chest tightness, dry mouth, and other ailments, they were directly purified!

That's why everyone was certain, understood, and confirmed that the Third Prince Qin Feng was definitely a true tenth-tier powerhouse and a genuine Grand Magister!

No wonder he doesn't do anything himself when he's on the field; he's at level ten, isn't he?

I'd personally fight a bunch of kids with sixth-tier strength?
