He had always thought that he would only barely count as someone noteworthy after breaking through to Drawing Upon Heaven and Earth, reaching the Force Realm, and truly securing the possibility of breaking into the Saint Realm.
But hearing Reno put it that way, he realized he had been thinking about it wrong. If one truly broke through to the Force Realm, then as long as the resources were in place, one could directly achieve Saint Ascension. Calling such a person a Saint Realm candidate would not be an exaggeration.
Such a person naturally counted as a major figure!
But someone who had broken through to the realm of Lifting the Light as if Heavy would not carry little weight either. After all, they were only one layer away from the Force Realm needed to reach the Saint Realm!
And realms were the sort of thing where a breakthrough could happen at any time. Therefore, to the various powers across the Yulan Continent, talents at the realm of Lifting the Light as if Heavy were the most worthwhile investments!
It was just that he knew there was the Deity Level above the Saint Realm, and Overgods above the Deity Level. Not to mention the Four Supreme Planes and Seven God Planes, once the Gobada Plane Prison broke its seal in the later stages, the Yulan Continent would be filled with Deity Level experts.
Other than living a long time, Saint Realm experts were nothing!
In the original story, all sorts of geniuses and Saint Realm experts had appeared one after another, so he had never taken this breakthrough into the realm of Lifting the Light as if Heavy seriously!
After all, this was only the second realm for warriors. He was still far from the third realm, so what was there to be proud of!
But Yale and Reno had just reminded him that breaking through to this level was truly rare!
For a moment, all sorts of plans to stir up trouble using his realm of Lifting the Light as if Heavy surfaced in Fengyun's mind!
Then he forcibly suppressed them!
Potential was ultimately just potential. Before it was transformed into strength, even if he had comprehended and broken through to the Force Realm, as long as he had not truly entered the Saint Realm, he still needed to keep a low profile when appropriate and remain steady when appropriate!
After forcefully clearing the chaotic thoughts from his mind, he immediately replied to Yale, "Boss Yale, I understand what you mean!"
"But you also know that I'm from the Special Warfare Camp. I was born with the Church's label stamped on me!"
Yale patted his chest without a care and promised, "It's only the identity of a Special Warfare Camp trainee. You haven't even joined the Knight Order yet!"
"And even if you do join, it doesn't matter. Believe me, our Dawson Merchant Guild can handle it!"
Fengyun naturally knew that the Dawson Merchant Guild would have no great trouble taking someone from the Light Church's Ace Knight Order!
After all, there were tens of thousands of soldiers in the Knight Order. No one knew how many would die in a hard battle, or else an institution like the Special Warfare Camp would never have appeared!
And getting a Special Warfare Camp trainee like him out of the camp would be even easier. Even though he had now earned the title of Light Shadow Swordsman, it would only make things a little more troublesome for Yale's merchant guild!
But the problem was that his true identity was an undercover agent for the Darkness Church. If anything happened, his parents' safety might no longer be guaranteed!
Even though befriending Yale and the others had itself been a mission assigned to him by the Darkness Church, the Darkness Church had not told him to directly join Yale's merchant guild!
Moreover, he still needed to build a strong relationship with Lin Lei, the future super big shot, while they were all still young. In his view, that was the foremost priority. Everything else had to step aside.
Therefore, before the Day of Destruction occurred, he would absolutely not leave this place!
If he really joined the Dawson Merchant Guild, then to prevent any complications—or the Light Church from taking Fengyun under its wing—they would probably arrange for him to leave the Holy Alliance immediately. What the hell would he even be doing then?
He could only press a hand on Yale's shoulder and say, "Boss Yale, although I'm an orphan, I grew up in the Holy Alliance. My foster father, Dai Hui, adopted me. The Training Camp and the Special Warfare Camp raised me!"
"That is how I became who I am today!"
"So I will not betray the Church. Even though I still haven't officially become a member of the Knight Order, I can only serve the Church in the future!"
"I won't join any other faction!"
Seeing Yale's conflicted expression and that he still seemed to have more to say, Fengyun added, "However, given my relationship with you, Boss Yale, if you ever need me in the future, just prepare a lavish feast for me. I can't promise I'll come the moment you call, but I guarantee I won't disappoint you!"
Then he looked at George and Reno, who were similarly tempted, and without another word, made them the same promise.
Everything had happened too quickly and felt too fantastical. Lin Lei, standing nearby, was dumbfounded!
The Saint Realm was the realm he had longed for in his dreams. Though much time had passed, he still remembered how Wushan Town had trembled beneath two Saint Realm experts when he was young!
He never could have imagined that after merely one Monster Trial, Fengyun—whom he had once been confident he could defeat—would already have a chance of reaching the Saint Realm. And Fengyun's current cultivation was only Level Five!
Overwhelmed with shock, Lin Lei directly asked Delin, the ring-bound elder he trusted most, "Grandpa Delin, is that realm of Lifting the Light as if Heavy really as miraculous as Boss Yale and Fourth Brother said?"
Delin, who had been watching the show from the side, sensed Lin Lei's shock. Stroking his beard, he said, "It's true. I have to admit, this little Fengyun's talent as a warrior is indeed quite good. He comprehended this realm at such a young age!"
"But you don't need to make too much of it, because it is only a possibility."
"It's like how, in theory, every Level Six Mage has the possibility of breaking through to Level Seven. But in reality, how many Level Six Mages can actually reach Level Seven?"
"Do you remember Ernst Academy of Magic's graduation requirements?"
"To break through to the realm of a Level Six Mage within sixty years!"
"You must understand that everyone admitted to Ernst Academy is a genius, a genius with outstanding aptitude. Even a little fellow like Yale, who squeezed in through his background, has above-average affinity and Spiritual Power!"
"But even so, your academy does not require you to break through to Level Seven Mage before graduating!"
"And for a warrior to break through to the realm of Drawing Upon Heaven and Earth, hehe, that is countless times more difficult than a mage breaking through to Level Seven!"
"So don't care too much about this. It is rare for Fengyun to comprehend the realm of Lifting the Light as if Heavy, but if he pursues breakthroughs in realm too obsessively while neglecting the improvement of his own cultivation!"
"All I can say is that in just a few years, you may well surpass him!"
Only then did Lin Lei's excited emotions gradually settle. At that moment, he remembered that his father's Dragonblood Secret Tome had recorded the realm of Lifting the Heavy as if Light. He had simply failed to recall it at first!
Just as he was about to tell Fengyun what Grandpa Delin had reminded him, lest Fengyun become too fixated on realms and neglect the growth of his cultivation, Fengyun spoke first. "Beibei, let's have a fight. Let me see whether you little fellow have become even faster!"
