Unfortunately, Tai Nianning was far too aloof to join in the excitement. Otherwise, with alchemists and formation inscription masters gathered together, the Eternal Society's appeal to students would surely have risen dramatically! But it did not matter. Zhou Heng was an "alchemist"—what kind of pill could he not refine?
If not for Ancient Heavenly King's interference, what a flourishing scene this would have been!
Yet Zhou Heng's peace did not last more than a few days before someone came looking for him...
—Fu Dongxing.
This poor fellow had been jointly suppressed by Zhou Heng and Black Donkey, every bone in his body shattered. And while recuperating, he had run into Wang Yun and another subordinate. After leaving the Ancient Battlefield, either Wang Yun or that other subordinate must have spread the news far and wide.
A mighty expert ranked ninety-seventh on the leaderboard had actually lost to a brat from the Star King Academy?
The news caused an uproar and dragged Fu Dongxing's reputation through the dirt. Thus, upon learning that Zhou Heng had emerged from the Ancient Battlefield, Fu Dongxing decided to seek justice.
He had merely lost to Black Donkey's "Forbidden Artifact." In terms of true combat strength, Zhou Heng was not even worthy to hold a candle to him!
However, he was not as arrogant as Dongfang Wenlong, who could use the dean's token to smash straight through someone's door. Instead, he waited outside Zhou Heng's residence, intercepting him the moment he returned.
"Zhou Heng, do you remember me?" Fu Dongxing looked at Zhou Heng, surrounded by a group of young people, fury written across his face. Naturally, he believed that Zhou Heng's Eternal Society had managed to recruit people only by stepping on his "corpse" to climb upward!
How could that not be hateful?
Perfect. He
