"I thought you said you'd come for the assessment in a year. Why are you here already?"
Ye Feng raised an eyebrow and asked curiously.
The Star Sect was not large. His spiritual power could cover the entire residence, and as soon as a familiar aura appeared, he would immediately sense it.
He had been wondering who it was, but he had not expected it to be Zhu Zhuqing.
"I... I withdrew from Shrek. I have nowhere to go now..."
Upon hearing that, Zhu Zhuqing lowered her head slightly and spoke somewhat embarrassedly.
"What? You withdrew from Shrek? What happened?"
Ye Feng was immediately startled and hurriedly asked.
"It's nothing. I just felt that Shrek wasn't suitable for me... and then there was Dai Mubai..."
Zhu Zhuqing briefly explained the reason. Her expression was calm, as though she had no great attachment to Shrek.
"I see. A place like Shrek doesn't have many rules. You must have suffered there..." Ye Feng nodded and offered consolation.
He had guessed that his Trait might cause internal conflict within Shrek, but he had not expected it to happen so quickly.
Of course, even without his Trait, Shrek would not have lasted much longer.
Shrek had risen entirely because of Tang San's fortune.
But Ye Feng's appearance had taken Tang San's opportunities, causing Tang San's fortune to plummet. If Zhu Zhuqing had remained at Shrek, her future would ultimately have been limited.
But if she joined the Star Sect, with Ye Feng looking after her, her future would certainly be far brighter. Becoming a god would be effortless.
The Arrival of Di Tian, the Silver Dragon King's Longing
"By the way, you said Ning Rongrong withdrew with you too. Where is she?"
Thinking of something, Ye Feng asked curiously.
"Mm, Rongrong seems to be waiting for one of her elders... She seems to have some misunderstandings about you..." Zhu Zhuqing nodded uncertainly.
She and Ning Rongrong had come together, and she had heard some of Ning Rongrong's complaints along the way.
Ning Rongrong was petty and clearly unconvinced by Ye Feng, so she wanted to bring an elder to back her up and test the Star Sect's strength.
"It's fine. If she and her elder come, they'll definitely be pleasantly surprised."
Ye Feng waved a hand dismissively.
Ning Rongrong would most likely call Sword Douluo or Bone Douluo over for a visit.
Sword Douluo was currently level 96. Though powerful, he was still no match for Zi Ji.
Bone Douluo was level 95. Zi Ji could slap him so hard he would not be able to take care of himself.
After all, Zi Ji was equivalent to a level 98 Super Douluo.
Above level 95, the difference of one level was like a heavenly chasm.
What ability did a mere Sword Douluo have to fight above his level?
And Bi Ji was also equivalent to a level 95 Super Douluo. If Sword Douluo came knocking and dared to cause trouble by relying on his high cultivation, Ye Feng would show him what a real surprise was.
"Alright, enough about that. Since you're here, cultivate properly in the Star Sect." Ye Feng patted Zhu Zhuqing on the shoulder and smiled.
"Mm!"
Zhu Zhuqing nodded, filled with anticipation for the training ahead.
Ye Feng then summoned a servant, gave a few simple instructions, and had him arrange for Zhu Zhuqing to stay in the Star Sect.
Zhu Zhuqing was promising talent. She needed to be nurtured properly.
If he had the chance, Ye Feng actually wanted to go have some fun at the All-Continent Advanced Soul Master Academy Elite Tournament.
So he needed to gather a few people...
It would be best if he could get seven. If not, he could just drag someone in to make up the numbers.
As for the academy issue, Xue Qinghe would handle it. Getting approval for a "Star Advanced Soul Master Academy" would be easy.
Thunderclap Academy, Godwind Academy, Skywater Academy, Blazing Fire Academy, and Elephant Armored Academy—the five elemental academies—all had sects behind them.
Academies and sects were actually one and the same. They merely used the title of advanced academy in order to participate in the tournament.
But Ye Feng was in no hurry about any of that. There was still more than a year until the tournament, so he had plenty of time to plan.
After seeing Zhu Zhuqing off, Ye Feng checked the time. It was already afternoon, so he decided to head to the rear courtyard and have dinner with Bi Ji and Zi Ji.
But at that moment, Ye Feng's expression shifted slightly as he slowly raised his head and looked into the distance.
He could sense a powerful bloodline aura approaching the Star Sect. Though the other party had concealed their strength and aura, Ye Feng still sensed it through the bloodline resonance of dragons. It was also extremely familiar...
A moment later, a flash of black light streaked past.
A cold-faced middle-aged man dressed in black slowly appeared before Ye Feng.
"Di Tian, why are you here?"
Ye Feng looked surprised. He clearly had not expected Di Tian to come at this time.
"Young Master, I... Wait, Young Master, why is your strength so powerful? And why do you have the auras of the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King within you?!"
Di Tian had just begun to speak when he suddenly noticed something. His pitch-black eyes instantly turned vertical, and he stared intently at Ye Feng as though trying to see through him completely!
How long had Ye Feng been gone?
It was one thing for his strength to have improved so quickly, but what was going on with the power of those two Dragon Souls on him?!!!!
The ancestor of soul beasts, the Dragon God, had borne nine sons. Among them were the seven elemental sacred dragons of water, fire, earth, wind, light, darkness, and space, along with the Mountain Dragon and the strongest firstborn, the Golden Dragon. Together, they were known as the Nine Dragon Lords.
After the Dragon God fell, the other Dragon Kings had all disappeared without a trace. But it was confirmed that the Ice Dragon King and Fire Dragon King had already perished.
Ye Feng had actually come into contact with the inheritances of the Ice and Fire Dragon Kings. Did that mean the two Dragon Kings had fallen on Douluo Continent?!!!
"In Sunset Forest, I came across a treasured place called the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well..." Ye Feng did not hide anything and briefly explained the matter of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
"Who would have thought... Even after their fall, those two still left such a wondrous opportunity for Douluo Continent. The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well is so miraculous. If the powerful plants of Star Dou Forest could be moved there, it would be a heaven-defying opportunity for plant-type soul beasts!" Di Tian sighed with deep emotion, planning to send the Myriad Demon King to Sunset Forest to guard the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well when he returned.
Such a treasured place naturally could not be occupied by humans!
After all, it was a blessing bestowed upon Douluo Continent by his two brothers. If those two brothers still had spirits in heaven, they would not want such a place to be claimed by greedy humans!
"Alright, enough of that. Di Tian, why did you suddenly come to the Star Sect? Did something happen?"
Ye Feng waved a hand and hurriedly asked.
Di Tian had come personally. Could something major have happened in Star Dou Forest?
"No... It's just... the Lord has missed you a little. She asked me to pass on a message and have you go back to see her..."
Di Tian sighed and shook his head, clearly feeling rather speechless.
"Uh..."
Ye Feng's mouth twitched. He felt the same way.
Sending the mighty Beast God all this way just to deliver a message was something only the Silver Dragon King could do.
Di Tian was actually quite helpless. He had been cultivating peacefully when the Silver Dragon King suddenly woke him and told him to find Ye Feng and deliver her message. It was simply absurd...
Still, helpless as he was, he had come.
This could be considered doing something for the future of soul beasts, so he did not have many complaints.
After all, he knew of the Silver Dragon King's feelings for Ye Feng. Though Ye Feng was human, the powerful dragon bloodline within him could not be faked. If he could one day have descendants with the Silver Dragon King, it would absolutely be the greatest fortune for the soul beast race.
"Uh, Young Master, you know that the Lord has not been awake for long. She still hopes that you can spend more time talking with her. If you have nothing to do, I can take you back now. Mm, I'll bring you back afterward," Di Tian continued when he saw Ye Feng spacing out.
Though it was a little troublesome, if he did not bring Ye Feng back, the Silver Dragon King would definitely make trouble for him.
The Silver Dragon King was quite terrifying when she was angry...
"Alright, then let's go back now."
Ye Feng nodded, having no objections.
Within Star Dou Forest, the Silver Dragon King could transmit her voice freely. But his current location was extremely far from Star Dou Forest. Even the Silver Dragon King could not communicate with him across such a distance.
Since the Silver Dragon King had even sent Di Tian over, she was clearly worried sick.
Naturally, Ye Feng would not make her wait any longer. At the very least, he needed to go back and reassure her. Riding the "Di Tian Express," they could cross space and arrive in moments.
"No rush."
But at that moment, Di Tian slowly turned his head toward the gates of the Star Sect and smiled with interest. "I didn't expect the Star Sect to be so low-key, yet it still attracted such an expert. Interesting..."
"Huh?"
Ye Feng was somewhat confused by Di Tian's inexplicable words.
But when he spread out his senses, he immediately detected something unusual.
At that moment, he sensed an extremely powerful aura slowly approaching the Star Sect.
Though the other party had restrained it greatly, that sharp edge was simply too conspicuous...
Within Ye Feng's perception, it was as though countless swords had enveloped the entire Star Sect.
It even left the sea of his spirit faintly stinging.
This sharp sword intent... Could it be that old fellow Sword Douluo? Ye Feng secretly guessed.
There were many sword-type soul masters in this world, but only one person could cultivate sword intent to such a degree...
A Mere Level 96 Trash Dares to Act Wild Before Me?
Half an hour earlier.
Inside an inn in Sky Curtain City.
Sword Douluo and Ning Rongrong sat facing each other.
Ning Rongrong ate snacks with an indifferent expression.
Sword Douluo, meanwhile, sat opposite her with a helpless look on his face.
"Rongrong, what are you thinking? Is our Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect not good enough? Why do you want to go to that Star Sect?" Sword Douluo put on a pleading face and earnestly tried to persuade her.
After Ning Rongrong joined Shrek Academy, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had remained worried and still sent guards to accompany her.
When he learned that Ning Rongrong wanted to join some inexplicable sect, Sword Douluo had nearly exploded with anger and rushed over at once.
Because Shrek had Flender and a decent reputation, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had been willing to let Ning Rongrong cultivate there.
But what was this Star Sect? A sect that had only recently appeared—how could it possibly be worthy of having the little princess of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect join it?
More importantly, this was a sect.
On Douluo Continent, sects were essentially the same as families. Ning Rongrong was the precious jewel of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, yet she wanted to join another small sect. How was that any different from marrying into another family?
If word got out, the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect would lose all face.
Instead of staying in the perfectly good Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, she wanted to join another sect. What would everyone else think?
Wouldn't that clearly imply that the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was inferior to the Star Sect?
"The Star Sect has a special secret technique that can rapidly increase one's strength. I saw it with my own eyes," Ning Rongrong said.
"What secret technique? Rongrong, don't let yourself be fooled. Soul masters have never had shortcuts in cultivation. They have to advance step by step."
Sword Douluo hurriedly said, "I have heard of some secret techniques that can temporarily speed up cultivation, but such techniques are extremely wicked, and the side effects are severe. They drain one's life and potential. If the Star Sect is really using such an evil method to lure disciples, then today I will rid the people of this evil!"
Sword Douluo looked righteously indignant, clearly deeply dissatisfied with the Star Sect.
"I'm only going to take a look. It's not like I said I definitely want to join~" Ning Rongrong giggled.
She had personally witnessed Zhu Zhuqing's growth, and it truly did not seem to have any side effects.
What Zhu Zhuqing took should only have been the lowest-grade pill, while Ye Feng had definitely taken the best pills. That was how he had become so powerful!
Though she claimed that the Star Sect could not compare to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect, she was actually extremely curious about those mysterious pills.
If she could obtain something like that, could she become that powerful too?
"Rongrong..."
