"The Yu Family's here. Brother, let's stop fighting for now. Be careful she doesn't send us packing."
As he warned Feng Zaixing, Wang Wen controlled his mecha to glide around, swiftly locking the cannon muzzle onto the girl in the duckbill cap.
"So scary?"
Feng Zaixing turned to look, and his pupils immediately narrowed.
It was not because the newcomer was exceptionally beautiful, but because he really knew her.
Yet he was not narcissistic enough to think she had come to catch up with him. His gaze darkened as he tightened his grip on his battle sword.
Inside the cockpit, beads of sweat formed on Wang Wen's forehead as he prepared himself for battle.
Yu Xin stood gracefully, bright-eyed and fair-toothed. Seeing the two switch sides because of her arrival, she could not help but chuckle softly as she looked at Feng Zaixing.
"Not going to Heaven Dou City to see you was my fault, but I invited you to meet me in Ming Capital and you never came. Now that we've finally met again today, why are you still guarding against me?"
As she spoke, the light in her eyes rapidly softened, like a pool of crystal-clear spring water. She smiled and spoke gently.
"It has been years since we parted. Little Feng, have you been well? Do you still remember your sister?"
As soon as the words fell, the expressions of Wang Wen in midair, Na'er behind Feng Zaixing, Xu Yucheng, and even the three Dai Yuners who had come to watch the fun all changed.
So these two great gods of slaughter were on the same side?
"Burdened by my family's vengeance, cultivation takes priority. I have had no time for social calls. Please forgive me."
Feng Zaixing clasped his sword and bowed, speaking concisely as he looked at Yu Xin.
"It's best if we don't fight. I was just about to get better acquainted with this brother here. Sister, please step aside."
"Fine. I came to find someone to enter my painting, and if it's you, all the better. Your sister will watch from the side. We can talk after you finish fighting."
The smile in Yu Xin's eyes was like summer sunlight, warming the heart.
The next instant, her tone shifted, and her gaze suddenly turned as sharp as an eagle's. In a clear voice, she said:
"But before that, your sister will deal with the three fellows spying in the shadows."
Soul Rings flashed. Her Divine Brush moved lightly, and amid splashes of ink, a Fire Phoenix took shape in midair beneath her slender fingers. It let out a resounding phoenix cry and crashed toward an Ancient Sky Tree.
"Douluo Continent's geniuses have no manners at all! How can you just start fighting without a word?"
Dai Yuner had been enjoying the show when she was suddenly attacked. Like a cat with its fur standing on end, she cried out and loudly condemned Yu Xin's shameless attack on international friends.
"Seven Treasures turn forth Glazed Light: first, strength; second, speed; third, soul!"
Ye Zhi reacted swiftly. The Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda rose into the air and released three rays of seven-colored light.
"Can't block it! Retreat!"
After receiving the boost, Teng Teng launched a Clone Illusion attack, only for it to be scattered in a single exchange. His face changed drastically, and he swept up the two girls and fled. Moving like a ghost, he left a trail of afterimages behind him.
"Tang Sect's Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track. Not bad." Feng Zaixing saw through Teng Teng's movement technique, and his heart stirred as thoughts raced through his mind, his eyes gleaming.
Excellent. He could use this chance to whitewash the Dark Technique he had picked up from the Tang Sect's trash heap. Later, he would tell Mu Ye that he had learned Ghost Shadow Perplexing Track from Teng Teng, revise it a little, and include it in the Primal Body Sect's inheritance.
These three idiots really were his lucky stars.
"Trying to run? Did I allow that?"
Yu Xin let out a sharp cry. A flash of crimson light flickered deep within her eyes, and the Fire Phoenix's speed abruptly doubled as it thundered after them.
At the same time, black ink filled the sky around her, as though forming a unique domain. With strokes of her Divine Brush, she painted a flock of lifelike birds and ferocious beasts, including even two Man Faced Demon Spiders that spat silk to trap their enemies.
Seeing this, Xu Yucheng shuddered in fright and trembled. "This woman is terrifying. She's practically an army by herself."
"I couldn't tell before, but Junior Brother, you actually know someone this ruthless. Impressive, truly impressive."
Na'er wrinkled her cute little nose and muttered softly, "Those aren't real Soul Beasts. They're actually not that powerful..."
Wang Wen's mecha landed, and he quietly said, "Young Sect Master, I've decided. I'm returning to the Primal Body Sect family right now."
Feng Zaixing rolled his eyes at him. "Are you interested in the Primal Body Sect, or in the Yu Family?"
"Both. Mainly, I'm interested in your future, Young Sect Master. You should've told me you had connections like this earlier."
Wang Wen replied, his excitement obvious.
"...You're certainly honest. Fine. Remember to come to Ming Capital and register with the Sect Master."
Seeing how quickly Wang Wen's attitude had changed, Feng Zaixing secretly thought that the Yu Family's reputation was truly no joke. They were indeed the military's foremost family.
"Big Brother, why are you spacing out?" Na'er's voice sounded beside his ear.
"Reuniting with an old acquaintance. It stirred up some rare feelings."
After casually replying, Feng Zaixing noticed the unusual look on Na'er's face and smiled.
"Of course, even with an old acquaintance before me, I can't forget our little Na'er. We'll meet together later."
Na'er's eyes immediately curved into crescents, her smile like spring drizzle—soft and fresh.
"Young Sect Master, are we just going to watch?" Wang Wen spoke quietly, quickly getting into character and adapting to his new identity.
"What do you want to do?"
"Those three aren't from our Douluo Continent. Should we..." Wang Wen drew a finger across his throat and rolled his eyes.
"Good point. I'll go capture that Seven Treasures Glazed Pagoda."
As soon as he spoke, Feng Zaixing transformed into a man of the wind and charged after Ye Zhi. Soul Power and Blood Qi gathered in his hand, forming a scythe identical to Xu Yucheng's.
Beneath his feet, his second Soul Ring had already turned black as ink, flowing with a dazzling halo that radiated intimidation.
"A Star Luo Empire native actually dared attack the Federation's finest! I'll avenge all those geniuses you defeated!"
Be afraid. Resist. Hurry and use every Tang Sect secret technique you know. As a support-type, those are what you use to protect yourself, right? Feng Zaixing thought happily.
"No! The Sun Moon Federation's geniuses are so rude..."
Ye Zhi's little face turned deathly pale. She ran for her life, mist welling up in her eyes.
How could Douluo Continent's geniuses attack a little support-type? That scummy man is so terrifying... boohoo...
On the 125th Floor of the Ming Capital Spirit Pagoda, Luan Hongchen sat calmly on the sofa. The soft cushion made from Flame Lion King fur made him hum comfortably.
Han Tianyi looked speechless. "You're the head of an academy, after all. What haven't you enjoyed before? Why are you acting like this?"
"Senior, you don't understand. I'm happy."
Luan Hongchen stretched lazily, shaking his head with an enchanted expression. "In today's battle, Zaixing swept aside the Young Genius Ranking and even talked Wang Wen into joining us."
"Once he enters the academy, he'll be one of our academy's students. Our academy won't lack anything anymore."
"Now, Shrek's geniuses are nothing but crap!"
"That may be true, but half of the top ten geniuses on the Young Genius Ranking are at Shrek. You still need time to surpass them."
Han Tianyi had a general understanding of Shrek's younger generation. After thinking for a moment, he added:
"Besides, Shrek holds an exceptional status and does not participate in the All-Federation Grand Competition. You won't have a chance to compete on the same stage. Are you planning to go there and challenge them?"
"Why not? We've wanted to fight our way to their door for a long time. Sky-Supporting Douluo wouldn't throw away his dignity over something like this." Luan Hongchen said.
Han Tianyi ran through Shrek's upper echelon in his mind and said leisurely:
"Sky-Supporting Douluo is invincible in this age and does not care about minor squabbles, but there is no shortage of narrow-minded people there."
Luan Hongchen raised an eyebrow. His half-lidded eyes suddenly shone. "Silver Moon Douluo? That old hag isn't worth my concern."
"What about Light Dark Douluo?" Han Tianyi asked softly.
"This..."
Luan Hongchen smacked his lips and looked at Han Tianyi. "How about your Spirit Pagoda joins the fun too? Back then, Long Yeyue slapped the Old Tower Master across the face. That was an insult to the entire Spirit Pagoda."
Light Dark Douluo Long Yeyue acted without regard for dignity or law, and her cultivation was unfathomably deep. He truly could not defeat her.
The Spirit Pagoda's Old Tower Master, Qian Gu Dieting, was a supreme powerhouse with the greatest burst power among Quasi-Gods. His strength steadily surpassed Long Yeyue's. Back then, he had refrained from pursuing the matter only out of consideration for Heavenly Favor Douluo.
Han Tianyi smiled. "If you truly can defeat Shrek, I believe the Qian Gu Family would be very pleased to see it. Even the entire Spirit Pagoda would be happy to lend you its support."
"Haha, if Shrek and the Tang Sect were as willing to cooperate as the Spirit Pagoda, then all of us Federation people could rest easy."
Hearing Han Tianyi's perfect response, Luan Hongchen laughed heartily. Among the three major organizations, the Spirit Pagoda was the most cooperative and a powerful supporter of the Hawk Faction.
Han Tianyi smiled, just about to discuss deeper matters when his eyes flashed and he turned to look upward.
"Deputy Tower Master Leng, you finished this inspection rather quickly."
They had just been talking about the Spirit Pagoda when a Deputy Tower Master arrived. His mouth really seemed blessed.
High above, the clouds shifted with the wind. A Black Mecha emerged, its cockpit opening as a graceful figure stepped out, her jade-like face dignified and beautiful, her phoenix eyes hazy with allure.
"It was a little fast. I wanted to come see a few geniuses."
Leng Yaozhu smiled lightly. Without any visible movement, she drifted into the hall.
Luan Hongchen turned to look at her, secretly thinking that Han Tianyi's Spiritual Power truly surpassed his by far. Even Leng Yaozhu's traces could not escape him.
"Sky Phoenix Your Excellency, long time no see," Luan Hongchen called from afar.
"Dean Hongchen, likewise." Leng Yaozhu replied with a poised smile.
Luan Hongchen chuckled, sat back on the sofa, and stepped on the Flame Lion King fur carpet as he assessed the situation.
In her youth, Leng Yaozhu and her younger sister Leng Yulai had been known as the peerless Phoenix Sisters of the Phoenix Family. Her admirers could have lined up from Shrek Academy's entrance all the way to the Spirit Pagoda headquarters. Unfortunately, both women had fallen for Sky-Supporting Douluo Yun Ming, leaving countless people sighing in helplessness.
Later, Yun Ming fought his way into Ming Capital, took away Saint Spirit Douluo Yali, the War God Hall's successor, and held a grand wedding, shattering the hopes of the Phoenix Sisters and countless others.
Leng Yaozhu devoted herself to cultivation, inherited the position of family head, and became the Spirit Pagoda's Deputy Tower Master. Leng Yulai left home... and was suspected of falling into the Holy Spirit Cult.
And now she had come...
Is she trying to poach Old Brother Mu Ye's people?!
With that thought, Luan Hongchen quietly activated his communicator and called for reinforcements.
Old Mu, your family is in danger. Get here fast!
Brother Kong, come help hold the line!
At that moment, Leng Yaozhu's gaze rippled faintly as she said to Han Tianyi, "There are quite a few guests today. Even he has come."
Han Tianyi's gaze sharpened. His Spiritual Power passed through the floors, and he felt a headache coming on. "Yes. Quite unexpected."
The Spirit Pagoda's Deputy Tower Master and the War God Hall's Deputy Hall Master had arrived together. The Primal Body Sect's genius was far too desirable.
If Mu Ye and Kong Yao came too, they could gather enough Four-word Battle Armor Masters for a whole table!
"Luckily Mu Ye's eldest disciple didn't come, or he'd be crying too late..."
