"I might as well tell Pagoda Master Zhang that the method used to help His Majesty Heavenly Phoenix achieve a Breakthrough was unique. Her Majesty's Spirit potential happened to be suitable, but it wouldn't be appropriate for anyone else."
Feng Zaixing acted as if he didn't see the change in Zhang Geyang's expression, his words sounding sincere as he opened his heart to talk with Zhang Geyang.
"So you're saying, nephew, that you have no good way to help me achieve a Breakthrough? Increasing the years of a spiritual soul sounds simple, but it is not easy to do."
"My first spirit soul is fine; that is my most important Life spirit soul. But my second spirit soul is a troublesome matter, very dangerous—"
Zhang Geyang sighed. Seeing that Feng Zaixing remained calm with a faint smile, he thought that if he could gain some benefits from this boy who was about to die, he wouldn't be afraid to reveal some real information.
So he furrowed his brows, deliberately scanned the surroundings, and lowered his voice, saying, "Do you know, nephew, that a great disaster awaits you here? Many people want to kill you!"
Feng Zaixing nodded. "I know. There are plenty of people who want to kill me. Tang Sect? Shrek? Holy Spirit Cult? Or perhaps some other forces?"
Hearing this, Zhang Geyang's face twitched, mirroring the expressions of Dai Tianling and Holy Dragon Douluo.
This kid knows he has so many enemies yet still runs around everywhere. How unafraid of death can he be?
Feng Zaixing said calmly, "Pagoda Master, you can speak plainly. Stop beating around the bush."
Zhang Geyang gave a bitter smile and said, "Then I'll be blunt. My intelligence network tells me that these three forces currently show a tendency of colluding with each other. You must be extremely careful, nephew."
Feng Zaixing's expression indeed became more serious as he asked, "Is there any exact information? When will they come to assassinate me?"
Zhang Geyang thought to himself that since it was still in the planning stages, how could he know? He shook his head and said, "I don't know for now. If I find out, I will definitely tell you immediately."
Feng Zaixing nodded and then said, "Fair enough. I, Feng, do not like owing favors. If you can help me, Pagoda Master, I will certainly help you solve your problems as well."
Zhang Geyang said with great joy, "That would be for the best! Rest assured, nephew, our Spirit Transfer Pagoda has stood on the same front line as you from the very beginning! Anyone who dares to deal with you is an enemy of mine, Zhang Geyang, and our Spirit Transfer Pagoda!"
He continued, "I have heard that the Yu Family possesses a top-tier life-type Divine Artifact that might help me suppress the restlessness of my second spirit soul. You have a deep relationship with the Yu Family, nephew, so I wonder if—"
Feng Zaixing smiled and shook his head, claiming there might be other ways to help, while in his heart, he had already thought of nine ways to chop the other party into fine minced meat.
Using things you are already planning to fool me, and even eyeing the Yu Family's Divine Artifact—do you really take me for one of those fools!
Seeing this, Zhang Geyang was not disappointed and saw Feng Zaixing out politely; after all, there was plenty of time ahead.
Returning to the Royal Hotel, Feng Zaixing released the deification list from his sleeve and opened it. On it was imprinted a lifelike, peerless beauty, looking exactly like Yu Xin.
"Sister Yu, you heard what that bastard said just now. You decide how we should slaughter him later."
Feng Zaixing spoke to the Yu Xin inside the deification list.
"It's not that much trouble; just killing him will do." The beauty in the painting spoke, then showed a look of concern, saying, "So many fellows have joined forces. Are you confident?"
"I can't say I'll wipe them all out, but it won't be difficult to deal with some experts."
Feng Zaixing replied, then added, "I'll have to trouble you to prepare for the use of that thing."
"Between you and me, there's no need for such words."
On the morning of the competition's opening day, Feng Zaixing took the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy to join the fun.
Unlike the Douluo Continent, which advocates teamwork, the Star Luo Continent, due to historical reasons, advocates individual martial power more, and the people are all martially-oriented.
Among the four major categories of competition, the Individual Match is the one they value most. As soon as they walked into the arena, they heard waves of cheers coming from all directions.
"Boss, the people of the Star Luo Empire are so fanatical. If we win, we won't be unable to step out the door, will we?"
Long Chen looked around and joked with Feng Zaixing.
Feng Zaixing glanced at him and said indifferently, "I think this place is quite good; the people don't have double standards. If you can knock down that Dragon King Long Yue, the title of Dragon King will be yours."
"Hehe, I really want to try that." Long Chen rubbed his hands in anticipation.
Le Zhengyu jumped out, flamboyantly fixing his hairstyle, and said, "And me. I heard that Monster Academy has already been changed into a Shrek Academy Branch, and the Eight Heavenly Kings have become Shrek Seven Devils reserves. I'll see how much skill they have."
Ye Xinglan's clear eyes looked toward the Shrek Academy main team, and she said clearly, "I will defeat them in actual combat to prove their ignorance and arrogance."
Xu Xiaoyan licked a lollipop and said, "People from Spirit Pagoda Academy are also participating. This is even more lively than the All-Federal Grand Competition."
Vaguely, the top four teams had emerged: the local former Monster Academy of the Star Luo Continent, the newly moved Shrek Academy, the federation's Spirit Pagoda Academy, and the Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy.
Naer and Gu Yue, one in a purple dress and the other in a white dress, were still secretly competing. Naer wanted to avenge the grudge of being thrown into the sea by Gu Yue, while Gu Yue wanted to suppress Naer forever.
Yuanen Yehui looked around and suddenly said, "The people from Monster Academy are here. That Dragon King is really built robustly."
In fact, Feng Zaixing had noticed even without her saying so. The crowd instantly erupted in cheers; only Monster Academy had such a grand reception.
Long Yue was tall and large, with broad shoulders and a wide back. Standing over two meters tall with a big bald head, he looked like an underworld boss. Walking with the power of dragons and tigers, he actually gave off a dangerous feeling like that of a Vicious Beast.
"This—" Long Chen's face turned slightly pale as he actually felt a Bloodline Suppression from the other party.
Not good, the other party's Dragon Clan Bloodline is above his own. If they fight, he will likely be finished!
"High-level six-ring? This cultivation is a bit terrifying." Le Zhengyu wiped his sweat. This big guy's cultivation was a whole major rank higher than his, so his chances of winning were not that great.
"Hello."
Long Yue walked straight up to Feng Zaixing and extended a hand that was almost twice the size of an ordinary person's.
"Hello."
Feng Zaixing casually extended his smaller right hand and made contact with the other's palm.
Suddenly, the power of the Mountain Dragon King transmitted from Long Yue's thick palm, acting in all directions on Feng Zaixing's completely covered hand.
Long Yue's eyes were burning brightly. He had heard about his teacher asking the other party to teach him, but as a Dragon King, he had his own pride. At the very least, he didn't think his power would be much worse.
One should know, his arms had recently undergone a Fusion with a set of 100,000-year Spirit Bones!
But soon, Long Yue noticed something was wrong—Feng Zaixing's expression didn't show a single flicker of fluctuation. Instead, a casual smile appeared on his face, as if he were looking at a childish little kid.
He looks down on me? Long Yue felt a surge of anger in his heart.
In the next instant, an immense power suddenly erupted from the other's hand. Long Yue's face twitched instantly, but he just forced his mouth shut and didn't cry out.
Feng Zaixing's smile remained, looking very warm.
"Are you okay?"
Feng Zaixing's caring words fell into Long Yue's ears, and Long Yue's face instantly cramped because the other's palm had flipped slightly, and the power had suddenly doubled.
Long Yue said with a twitching mouth, "I—am—fine—"
A man's dignity would not allow him to fall so easily!
"It's good that you're fine."
Feng Zaixing's palm flipped back, his thumb pressed against the other's knuckles, and then he let go.
Long Yue pulled back his right hand like lightning and hid it in his pocket, his wrist shaking non-stop. He was sure his right hand had grown a size larger.
"Is there anything else?" Feng Zaixing asked with a smile.
"Nothing, I just came to see what the number one Genius of the Sun Moon Federation looks like. Now that I've seen you, it's fine, it's fine."
Long Yue had come menacingly, but he smiled very sensibly and retreated as swiftly as the wind, seemingly having inherited the true teachings of the Shrek people.
In the audience, Holy Dragon Douluo saw the figure of his Disciple fleeing dejectedly and shook his head secretly.
I told you earlier that person is not to be trifled with, yet you insisted on doing so. Now you should know.
He said to Long Yeyue, who was sitting beside him in disguised attire, "You want to take my Disciple as a student, so shouldn't you show some sincerity? This is already the third time I've asked for an opportunity for Long Yue to enter the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well."
Long Yeyue said in a raspy voice, "Once he becomes this old woman's Disciple, I will naturally let him go there. But the monsters of Shrek Academy need to be tempered a thousand times to become talents; he must go through enough trials."
Holy Dragon Douluo thought to himself that this was all bullshit. You're refugees and yet you still have so much nonsense. My Disciple doesn't need any of your damn trials!
But anger aside, reaping benefits was real. Holy Dragon Douluo responded with a smile and casually asked why Yun Ming hadn't come.
Despite having suffered a crushing defeat, Holy Dragon Douluo still believed Yun Ming's strength was unmatched. Seventy percent of the responsibility for what happened on the Douling Continent last time lay with this old thing Long Yeyue fleeing the battlefield.
Long Yeyue said coldly, "Yun Ming is ignoring outside affairs for the sake of his wife. This old woman is the one in charge of the Sea Gods Pavilion now. If you have anything to say, just say it to me!"
Holy Dragon Douluo's eye corner jumped. He felt that if Shrek had a need, he could help slaughter this old woman; she was too good at causing harm.
A moment later, the competition time arrived. The Star Luo broadcast sounded with the young and beautiful voice of the host, announcing that the first match of the first round of the Individual Match would be a battle between someone from a distant continent and a New Star Luo Person.
"Tang Wulin from Spirit Pagoda Academy versus Long Yeshen from Shrek Academy. We invite both sides to the stage!"
As the voice fell, many people's expressions became very interesting. Feng Zaixing even suspected that the Star Luo Empire was deliberately cooperating with Shrek for a prank.
Tang Wulin was stunned for a moment, finding it strange that it was such a coincidence, but he did not hesitate and walked onto the competition stage from the Spirit Pagoda Academy's preparation area.
He shouted, "Tang Wulin of Spirit Pagoda Academy, Rank 41 control system Battle Spirit Ancestor, Spirit, Blue Silver King."
Long Yeshen took the stage with a disdainful look and said proudly, "Long Yeshen of Shrek Academy, Rank 58 attack system Battle Spirit King, Spirit, Dark Holy Dragon!"
As his words fell, thousands of people seethed with excitement, showing thrilled smiles.
A Rank 58 Dark Holy Dragon against a Rank 41 Blue Silver King—this is going to be a crushing victory!
Feng Zaixing glanced at Long Yeyue sitting next to Holy Dragon Douluo and shook his head secretly. You old women are really something. After Cai Yueer finished with Tang Wulin, you stepped in to target him. This is practically betraying one's teachers and ancestors.
He wondered if that narrow-minded God King would want to launch another sneak attack if he knew about the shady dealings here.
Long Yeshen looked at Tang Wulin, two purple and three black spirit rings rising beneath his feet, and couldn't help but transmit his voice: "Traitor, I might as well tell you that we requested to be matched with you for this match."
"Back during the entrance exam when you spoke for that bastard Feng Zaixing, today I will let you know the price! This time it's you, and next it will be Xie Xie!"
Tang Wulin's face instantly turned red with anger as he said, "Why is your Shrek Academy always so unreasonable?"
"Why are you always so excessive, wanting to step on others' heads to prove your own glory!"
"Just blame your bad luck."
The one-minute preparation time quickly passed during the trash talk phase. Long Yeshen started by unfolding the Black Dragon Swamp, intending to use the most powerful means to defeat his opponent and prove his strength to the Old Ancestor and the academy.
However, Tang Wulin's expression was calm as his right hand suddenly transformed from a human hand into a Golden Dragon Claw and pounced forward.
In his mind, a person calling himself "Old Tang" was patiently guiding him: "Use the power I'm temporarily lending you to properly deal with these bastards who betray the heavens and ancestors and violate human ethics! You little brats, you've really crossed the line!"
Maintaining Shrek's glory makes Lord Sea God very gratified, but if the way you maintain that glory is by bullying Lord Sea God's own son, Lord Sea God is very unhappy!
Long Yeshen didn't think much of it and flew forward to swat Tang Wulin away, but for some reason, Tang Wulin's Golden Dragon Claw suddenly shone brightly, and the Dark Holy Dragon instantly turned into a weak-legged lizard. Its spirit power completely dissipated, and it was even unable to maintain its Spirit Possession.
With a "bang," Tang Wulin's claw struck Long Yeshen's chest, swatting him off the platform.
The cheering scene suddenly became dead silent, as if countless people had been choked.
Long Yeyue's Aura hit for a moment, and her face became extremely gloomy.
