"Quick, quick, quick, Luo Feng, go strike up a conversation with that Hen Ren."

Seeing Hen Ren sitting in the middle of the front row, with Hong and Thor sitting on her left and right, Babata couldn't help but urge him.

Are you kidding me! This person was able to cover the entire Pacific Ocean with a soul attack; in the universe, only those at the Universe Level, or perhaps geniuses among the Star Level, could achieve such a feat!?

How did this Planetary Level manage it!?

Previously, Babata had been too arrogant, only checking information from the outside world every once in a while.

Although he knew that there were others on Earth like Hen Ren and Iste who had reached the Planetary Level, his knowledge was not comprehensive.

Iste was fine; he had been to the Ancient Civilization Ruin No. 9 for testing, but his brain domain width couldn't compare to Luo Feng's, so even if he had come, Babata would still have chosen Luo Feng.

However, regarding the information on Hen Ren, Babata only knew she had reached the Planetary Level, but since Hen Ren had never been to the Ancient Civilization Ruin No. 9, Babata didn't know her brain domain width...

Not to mention domains and the like; he knew nothing about them!

In the end, it was only because Luo Feng came to Mist Island that he chose Luo Feng...

Well, later, when he followed Luo Feng out and connected to the internet, he finally learned about Hen Ren, whose strength was far too extraordinary...

Well, it was very awkward...

"Don't be in such a rush..."

Luo Feng said helplessly.

The seat he was in was separated from Hen Ren by several people; how was he supposed to go over and strike up a conversation...

Luo Feng felt a bit of resentment in his heart regarding Babata's desire to take Hen Ren as a disciple of the Black Rock Star Ship as well.

But he also understood that, compared to Hen Ren, his own talent as a Spirit Reader was indeed far inferior.

In the end, he had picked up a huge bargain; the inheritance soul seal had already been given to him, and only he could obtain the main legacy of Hu Yanbo.

Within the inheritance, those secret manuals and some common knowledge about the universe should eventually be shared with Hen Ren.

After all, according to what Hong and Babata had said, the universe was extremely dangerous, and if Hen Ren were powerful, it would also be safer for Earth.

"Hurry up."

"You don't even think about what kind of scene this is; if I go talk to Hen Ren, I can't exactly bring you up, can I?"

Hen Ren and Hong were fine; he knew them to some extent and understood their temperaments.

With the magnanimity of Hen Ren and Hong, they wouldn't stoop to snatching things from their own people; they would more likely engage in barter.

Luo Feng wasn't interested in their belongings either; after all, in Luo Feng's view, no matter how good their items were, they couldn't compare to the resources Babata had given him.

Considering how Hong had looked after him, giving away a Genetic Warrior inheritance was a small price to pay.

But as for Thor, Mohanderson, and the others, Luo Feng wasn't familiar with them, and he didn't want to give them things for nothing.

"Tch, that Hen Ren's strength is so great, what are you afraid of?"

Of course, even though he said that, Babata still shut up and stopped urging him.

Just as Luo Feng was thinking about how to strike up a conversation with Hen Ren, suddenly, a slender figure appeared in Luo Feng's field of vision.

Luo Feng's eyes lit up.

At the entrance of the ceremony, the staff checked Xu Xin's training camp student ID and then let her in.

"Xu Xin!"

Luo Feng left his seat, came to the entrance, and waved at Xu Xin.

Xu Xin smiled as she walked up to him and offered her congratulations:

"Luo Feng, congratulations on becoming an inspector of the Extreme Martial Arts Hall."

"Haha, this is all thanks to you guys."

He wasn't referring to Xu Ai telling him about the effects of the Wood Bud Crystal, but rather their conversation.

If it weren't for Xu Xin and Xu Ai chatting with him, Luo Feng wouldn't have been unconsciously guided by Babata to the fragments of the Black Rock Star Ship.

And if he hadn't found the fragments of the Black Rock Star Ship, he wouldn't have had the intention to continue exploring, and it would have been very difficult to be guided to the Black Rock Star Ship.

Whether he could have obtained Babata's inheritance would have been another matter entirely...

"By the way, didn't I give you a Wood Bud Crystal? Why haven't you broken through to the Planetary Level yet?"

Xu Xin had been a mid-level Warlord close to a high-level Warlord a month ago; why was she still just a high-level Warlord now?

One had to know that those in the Extreme Martial Arts Hall who had hoarded Wood Bud Crystals had already seen several people break through.

"Xiao Ai told me to settle down a bit more; after all, the medicinal effects of the Vegetation Spirit haven't been fully digested yet."

Xu Xin replied.

Luo Feng nodded: "Alright then, as long as it's useful."

He had almost thought the breakthrough had failed and was about to give Xu Xin another Wood Bud Crystal...

"I'll take you in."

Because the ceremony was being held for several people at once, many of the procedures had been simplified.

There was no helping it; there were simply too many people. If they followed the standard procedure, it wouldn't even be finished in a single day.

From the childhood exploits of the inspectors to their growth processes and the number of beast tides they had participated in...

These inspectors were no longer young, so many of them simply had the host introduce them. Only a small number had friends or the like who could come out to help with the introductions.

Among them, the most exaggerated case was Luo Feng, as he was the youngest inspector of the Extreme Martial Arts Hall.

He also had the most friends and family present, such as Jiang Nian, Wu Tong...

Having friends and family recount his deeds, combined with his extreme youth, made him the most dazzling among all these inspectors.

When Luo Feng arrived at the scene pulling Xu Xin along, Hen Ren was the first to notice.

She swept the area with her spiritual energy, then suppressed her emotions.

It's fine, the main body will be here soon anyway...

Thinking this, Hen Ren continued to watch the show.

To be honest, this ceremony was incredibly boring.

Although Hen Ren was sitting there, she spent most of her time organizing the secret technique knowledge transmitted over by Cai Yi.

By the time Hen Ren finished organizing the new knowledge and completed the who-knows-what-number edition of the Devouring Heaven Demon Art, the ceremony had reached its end.

Unsurprisingly, Xu Ai was holding Xu Xin's arm, the two of them sticking together intimately.

Luo Feng, whose time alone with her had been interrupted, felt somewhat helpless, but he couldn't really say anything...

"Let's go, sister. It's time to head back; Xiao Tingting and the others have been waiting for a long time."

"Alright, then Luo Feng, I'm leaving first."

Xu Ai pulled Xu Xin along, bid farewell to Luo Feng, and left.

The lonely Luo Feng: "..."

In the past, he spent most of his time on cultivation, so Xu Ai's interruptions didn't really bother him...

But now, having finally found some time to rest and pursue the girl he liked, he finally realized just how hateful his sister-in-law could be!

"Sigh..."

Luo Feng let out a sigh.

What else could he do?

Xu Xin wasn't the type to be blinded by love; she wouldn't abandon her parents and family just to be with Luo Feng simply because she liked him.

Therefore, if Luo Feng wanted to be with Xu Xin, he had to pass the test of Xu Xin's family.

And given the closeness between Xu Xin and Xu Ai, if he wanted to marry Xu Xin, passing the hurdle of Xu Ai was unavoidable.

In short, Luo Feng had no way to deal with Xu Ai...

"Stop sighing and start thinking of a way for me to make contact with that Hen Ren!"

Babata's voice entered Luo Feng's ears.

How should he put it? Luo Feng felt even more wounded...

After the ceremony ended, Hen Ren returned to HF Base City. Ever since she arrived here, she had been too lazy to move, so she simply decided to settle down here.
