"Quick, quick, Luo Feng. Go strike up a conversation with Hen Ren."
Seeing Hen Ren seated in the middle of the front row, with Hong and Thor sitting on either side of her, Babata couldn't help urging him on.
You had to be kidding! She could use a Soul Attack to cover the entire Pacific Ocean. In the universe, only Universe Level warriors or the geniuses among Star Level warriors could manage something like that, right?
How had a Planetary Level warrior done it!?
Before, Babata had been far too arrogant, only checking the outside world's news every so often.
Although he knew there were other Planetary Level warriors on Earth, like Hen Ren and Iste, he didn't know the full story.
Iste was one thing. He had gone to Ancient Civilization Ruin No. 9 for testing, and his Brain Domain Width wasn't as good as Luo Feng's. Even if Iste had come, Babata would still have chosen Luo Feng.
But Babata only knew that Hen Ren had reached Planetary Level. She had never been to Ancient Civilization Ruin No. 9, so Babata didn't know her Brain Domain Width...
As for her Domain and the like, there was even less to say. He knew nothing!
In the end, only Luo Feng had come to Mist Island, so Babata had chosen him...
Well, later, after he followed Luo Feng out, he occasionally connected to the network and learned about Hen Ren, whose strength was so absurd...
Yeah, it was awkward...
"Don't rush me..."
Luo Feng replied helplessly.
There were several people between where he was sitting and Hen Ren. How was he supposed to get over there and strike up a conversation?
Luo Feng felt a little aggrieved about Babata wanting to recruit Hen Ren as a Black Rock Star disciple too.
But he understood that, when it came to talent as a Spirit Reader, he was nowhere near Hen Ren.
In the end, he was still the one who'd hit the jackpot. The Inheritance Soul Seal had already been given to him, and only he could claim Hu Yanbo's main inheritance.
He'd have to share some of the inheritance's manuals, secret techniques, and general knowledge of the universe with Hen Ren.
After all, according to Hong and Babata, the universe was a very dangerous place. Hen Ren's strength would make Earth safer, too.
"Hurry up."
"Think about the situation we're in. If I strike up a conversation with Hen Ren, I can't exactly bring you up."
Hen Ren and Hong were one thing. He knew them somewhat and had an idea of what they were like.
Hen Ren and Hong were too magnanimous to snatch things from their own people. They were more likely to trade for them.
Luo Feng wasn't interested in their things anyway. As far as he was concerned, no matter how good their things were, they couldn't compare to the resources Babata had given him.
Considering how Hong had looked after him, giving him an Inheritance for Genetic Warriors was no big deal.
But Luo Feng didn't know Thor, Mohanderson, or the others well. He didn't want to give them things for nothing.
"Tch. Hen Ren's so strong. What are you afraid of?"
Of course, that was what Babata said, but he still stopped urging him.
Just as Luo Feng was wondering how to strike up a conversation with Hen Ren, a graceful figure suddenly appeared in his field of vision.
Luo Feng's eyes lit up.
At the ceremony entrance, a staff member checked Xu Xin's Training Camp student ID, then let her in.
"Xu Xin!"
Luo Feng left his seat, went to the entrance, and waved to Xu Xin.
Xu Xin smiled as she came up to him and congratulated him.
"Luo Feng, congratulations on becoming an Inspector of the Extreme Martial Arts Hall."
"Haha, I have you all to thank for that."
He wasn't talking about Xu Ai telling him what Wood Bud Crystals did. He meant the conversations they'd had.
If Xu Xin and Xu Ai hadn't chatted with him, Babata wouldn't have unknowingly guided him to the Black Rock Star Ship fragment.
And if he hadn't found the Black Rock Star Ship fragment, he wouldn't have kept exploring. It would have been hard to guide him to Black Rock Star otherwise.
Whether he would have received Babata's inheritance was another matter...
"By the way, didn't I give you a Wood Bud Crystal? How come you still haven't broken through to Planetary Level?"
A month ago, Xu Xin had been a mid-level War God, close to reaching high-level War God. How was she only a high-level War God now?
After all, several people at the Extreme Martial Arts Hall who had secretly kept Wood Bud Crystals had already made several breakthroughs.
"Ai said I should consolidate my foundation a bit more. After all, I haven't fully absorbed the effects of the Vegetation Spirit yet."
Xu Xin replied.
Luo Feng nodded. "All right, as long as it helps."
He'd almost thought her breakthrough had failed and was about to give Xu Xin another Wood Bud Crystal...
"I'll take you inside."
Since several people were holding their ceremonies together, many of the formalities had been simplified.
There was no choice. There were too many people. At the normal pace, the ceremony might not have finished even after a whole day.
They could have talked about the Inspectors' childhoods, how they'd grown up, how many beast tides they'd taken part in, and so on...
These Inspectors were all quite old, so most of them simply had the host introduce them. Only a few had friends who could come out and help with the introductions.
Luo Feng's introduction was the most over-the-top. He was the youngest Inspector in the Extreme Martial Arts Hall.
He also had the most friends and family there: Jiang Nian, Wu Tong...
With his friends and family recounting his achievements, and his own youth on top of that, he became the most dazzling of all the Inspectors.
When Luo Feng led Xu Xin into the venue, Hen Ren was the first to notice.
She swept the area with her Spirit Force, then restrained her excitement.
It was fine. The original body would be here soon anyway...
Thinking that, Hen Ren went back to watching the ceremony.
To be honest, the ceremony was incredibly boring.
Although Hen Ren was sitting there, she spent most of her time organizing the secret techniques and knowledge Cai Yi had sent her.
By the time Hen Ren had finished organizing the new knowledge and completed yet another version of the Devouring Heaven Demon Art, the ceremony was drawing to a close.
After the host's closing remarks, the ceremony was declared over.
As expected, Xu Ai was holding Xu Xin by the arm, the two of them pressed close together.
Luo Feng, whose time alone with Xu Xin had been interrupted, felt helpless, but there wasn't much he could say...
"Let's go, sis. It's time to head back. Xiao Tingting and the others have been waiting for ages."
"Okay. Luo Feng, I'll head out first."
Xu Ai led Xu Xin away. After saying goodbye to Luo Feng, they left.
Luo Feng was left all alone. "..."
In the past, he'd spent most of his time cultivating, so Xu Ai's interruptions hadn't bothered him much...
But now, he'd finally had some time to rest and pursue the girl he liked. Only then did he realize how infuriating his sister-in-law could be!
"Sigh..."
Luo Feng sighed.
What else could he do?
Xu Xin wasn't the kind of girl who'd throw away her parents and family just because she liked Luo Feng, then insist on being with him.
So if Luo Feng wanted to be with Xu Xin, he had to get past her family first.
And given how close Xu Xin and Xu Ai were, Xu Ai's approval was unavoidable if he wanted to marry Xu Xin.
In short, Luo Feng was helpless against Xu Ai...
"Stop sighing and think of a way to get me in contact with Hen Ren!"
Babata's voice rang in Luo Feng's ears.
What could he say? That only made Luo Feng feel even more aggrieved...
After the ceremony, Hen Ren returned to HF Base City. Ever since she'd arrived, she hadn't felt like moving elsewhere, so she'd simply settled down there.
