Something Seems a Little Off...

For 52 straight days of rainbow weather, Ji Fengyu's Soul Power had gone straight from level 24 to level 28!

His Spiritual Power had also increased by at least 20 points!

Truly,

when the time was right, heaven and earth lent their strength!

"Beautiful rainbow, beautiful rainbow!"

Ji Fengyu's eyes shone brightly.

In the three years since he had awakened his Martial Soul, he had found only a little over 30 rainbows.

Only rainbows that formed naturally after the rain cleared had Rainbow Power.

The Silver Dragon King was still too influential.

Fifty-two straight days of beautiful scenery were worth a whole year of hard cultivation!

Bang!

A loud crash rang out.

Tang Wulin and Xie Xie burst through the rooftop door and rushed to Ji Fengyu in a panic.

"Brother Ji! Look!"

"Celestial Phenomenon Douluo said the rainbows are because of the typhoon, not Gu Yue."

"Don't let her fool you!"

Xie Xie panted as he shoved his phone into Ji Fengyu's hand.

The phone displayed two things:

First, Celestial Phenomenon Douluo's analysis; second, a notice that the typhoon "Angry Seal" was about to make landfall.

"Is that so?"

Ji Fengyu took the phone with an amused smile and seemed to study it very seriously.

"Exactly!"

Xie Xie caught his breath and hurriedly continued:

"Brother Ji, let me tell you, Gu Yue really overdid it this time. She just happened to get a whole string of rainbows."

"Even I almost fell for it. I thought she had Heavenly Hand and Eye and was about to go find her, kowtow, and apologize."

"But it was really just a typhoon happening to pass through. She just got lucky and made it look like she'd done it!"

"Brother Ji, you absolutely can't believe her!"

Xie Xie rattled on.

"Stop..."

Tang Wulin poked Xie Xie in the shoulder.

"Wulin, what's with you?"

Xie Xie frowned.

This was important. Why couldn't he say it?

Hadn't they agreed on the way over that they'd both warn Brother Ji? Why had Wulin switched sides?

"Stop..."

Tang Wulin's voice grew even quieter.

"Wulin, what's wrong?"

Xie Xie frowned even harder and turned to see what was going on. Then—

He turned around and saw Gu Yue.

"Hey, I heard that."

Gu Yue stared at Xie Xie, her voice icy.

This was the third time!

The third time he'd talked behind her back!

Xie! Xie!

"What a coincidence, Gu Yue. You're here too?"

Caught in the act for the third time, even Xie Xie, thick-skinned as he was, felt awkward and embarrassed.

Damn! Why was Gu Yue here too?

What was going on?

Every time he talked about Gu Yue, she somehow heard him right then and there. Xie Xie was getting pretty frustrated.

"What a coincidence."

Gu Yue gritted her teeth, killing intent rising.

Whoosh!

Xie Xie darted behind Ji Fengyu, hiding behind the support-type Soul Master.

Big bro, the support's got to save me!

"Here, I've seen it."

"Whatever caused these rainbows, it's fate, isn't it?"

Ji Fengyu handed the phone back to Xie Xie, smoothing things over.

Apparently, he already knew the rainbows had been caused by the typhoon.

But he still felt that he and Gu Yue were fated to meet.

Creak...

Gu Yue had been grinding her teeth at Xie Xie in hatred, but when she heard Ji Fengyu say that, much of her anger immediately melted away.

Her mood brightened at once.

Fate...

What a beautiful word!

How romantic were her past and present lives with Ji Fengyu? Fate truly was beyond words!

Gu Yue's cheeks turned pink, and she grew a little dreamy.

"Uh..."

Tang Wulin also slipped behind Ji Fengyu. He exchanged a look with Xie Xie, and both felt a sense of dread.

This was bad!

Gu Yue might really have a chance with him!

Please don't, Brother Ji!

"Have you eaten? My treat."

Ji Fengyu had just broken through again and was in a great mood. He pulled out his Black Card, ready to throw a feast.

"Okay~~"

Gu Yue replied shyly.

Was he asking her out to eat?

Looks like things were moving fast!

"Ugh..."

Xiong Jun lay sprawled on the ground, utterly dejected.

He'd used Sky-Tearing Claw 26 times in 52 days.

He really had been drained dry!

He was completely limp, without even the strength to blink.

Di Tian wasn't much better. After completing the final Dragon God Claw yesterday, he had passed out on the spot.

You could say that, for Gu Yue's love, the two of them had truly burned themselves out!

"Bad news. This place isn't safe anymore. We need to get out of here."

Myriad Demon King returned to their hideout, his face clouded with worry after keeping watch.

He'd nearly failed to fool that Celestial Phenomenon Douluo himself.

With all that commotion, more and more human powerhouses would come to investigate.

And Di Tian and Xiong Jun were already completely exhausted. In this state, they were just a plate of delicious food.

"Let's go."

Bi Ji sighed and helped Di Tian up.

Though she didn't know what significance the rainbows of the past 52 days held,

how could they possibly fathom or understand their lord's wisdom?

There had to be a deeper meaning behind what their lord had done!

It couldn't possibly be because she really wanted to pursue a man...

Fifty-two days of rainbows had to be some kind of cosmic signal! Or the rallying cry for the Soul Beasts' counterattack!

"Fifty-two days of rainbows mean 'I love you.'"

Gu Yue placed a piece of red-braised pork in Ji Fengyu's bowl and confessed sweetly.

Ew~~

Xie Xie immediately broke out in goosebumps.

Tang Wulin knitted his brows, deeply uncomfortable, and even the delicious food in his mouth lost its flavor.

"Gu Yue, these 52 days of rainbows were thanks to the typhoon. What does that have to do with you?"

Xie Xie raised the most mood-killing objection imaginable.

Well said!

Nice one, Xie Xie!

Tang Wulin secretly gave Xie Xie two thumbs up.

"Tch. Fengyu already said it was fate!"

"These 52 days of rainbows are proof that we're fated to be together!"

Gu Yue glared at Xie Xie. She'd already decided to ask Wu Zhangkong to pair her up with Xie Xie in their next practical class.

That little monkey really needed a beating!

"Uh..."

Xie Xie looked as if he were constipated.

Fengyu?

She was calling Brother Ji that so intimately?

"Enough. Eat!"

"You shouldn't talk while eating or sleeping."

Ji Fengyu spoke helplessly, putting an end to the brewing storm.

The 52 days of rainbows definitely had something fishy about them!

If Gu Yue hadn't done it, who else could it have been?

Honestly, he was touched that a girl was willing to go to such lengths for him.

Unfortunately, he cultivated the Body Sect's Virgin Skill, the Flawless Golden Body.

Besides,

hadn't he come here to join the Gold and Silver Dragon Kings' little group?

Why did something seem a little off?

The meal ended without rhyme or reason.

After saying goodbye to the three students from Class 5, Ji Fengyu returned to Class 1 to practice his Heart Separation Control.

His Spiritual Power had risen again, and he felt that the bottleneck in his Heart Separation Control had loosened too. He had to strike while the iron was hot.

Over the next dozen or so days,

Ji Fengyu went into seclusion. He had Zhang Yangzi and the other two bring him his meals, and he didn't even go to watch the first round of the Class Promotion Tournament.

Finally, his Heart Separation Control reached the second realm,

the Four-Orifice Constant Heart!

"Not bad, not bad."

Ji Fengyu was pleased with his progress. He took out his Soul Guidance Phone to check for messages that had come in while he was in seclusion.

Brr, brr, brr!

As soon as he turned on his phone, a huge pile of messages popped up.

Gu Yue: "Good morning."

Gu Yue: "Good night."

Gu Yue: "Good morning..."

Xie Xie: "111."

Xie Xie: "Brother Ji, are you there? Something happened! Bro, get here quick!"
