Star Luo City, the towering imperial palace.
"Urgent report!"
"Wu'an City, Urgent Delivery!"
A Silver Armor Guard sprinted toward the Imperial Study, shouting nonstop whenever he passed a checkpoint.
And at that moment, inside the Imperial Study.
The Star Luo Emperor, Dai An, sat on the broad Dragon Throne, fully absorbed in reviewing memorials.
"Heavy rain has fallen for two days and one night near the Golden City Mountain Range, which may trigger flash floods... Wu'an City?"
Just then, a beautiful woman dressed in black palace attire led a Blonde Boy and pushed open the door into the Imperial Study.
Looking at Dai An, the beautiful woman lightly chided, "Our Star Luo Emperor is so busy that he can't even spare a little time to talk with a woman like me~"
Hearing this, a helpless wry smile appeared on Dai An's face. "Madam, what are you saying? How could I not want to keep you company?"
"It's just that there are so many affairs of court that I truly can't get away."
"And you had someone ask me when that Brat Chengfeng would come back..."
"I really don't know when that Brat will return. What do you expect me to say?"
Hearing this, Zhu Hongxiu walked to Dai An's side. "I don't care."
"I miss my Feng'er anyway. You have to hurry up and think of a way to make him come back."
"Feng'er grew up in luxury from childhood. When has he ever lived through hardship?"
"And yet you, his father, were actually cruel enough to send him to a remote place like Wu'an City to suffer!"
Dai An sighed helplessly and spread his hands. "Madam, you can't blame me for this. I didn't want to either!"
"It's just, who could have imagined that little brat's temper would be so stubborn?"
And at this moment.
Dai Mubai, who had been standing quietly beside the two of them ever since he entered, watched as they kept talking about Dai Chengfeng right in front of him...
His hands hanging at his sides clenched unconsciously, his eyes full of jealousy.
He gritted his teeth...
Clearly, that Guy Dai Chengfeng is nothing but a Waste who relies on his parents' favor, acts willful and impulsive, and even disobeys the Ancestral Method by absorbing Soul Rings recklessly!
Just how am I inferior to him? I refuse to accept this!
Thinking of this, Dai Mubai subconsciously thought of the Zhu Family, of Zhu Zhuqing.
By order, my Fiancée Zhu Zhuqing should have belonged to me, yet she lived in Dai Chengfeng's residence for two years.
Although I once sent people to ask around, and according to the Guard, that Guy Dai Chengfeng didn't seem to care much about Zhu Zhuqing and didn't meet her many times over those two years, who knows what they did in private...
And even!
Now, even though Zhu Zhuqing and Dai Chengfeng clearly no longer have any connection, the several times I went to Zhu Mansion wanting to meet Zhu Zhuqing, I was turned away at the door every time by that old bastard Clan Head of the Zhu Family!
For a time, it still felt like a fishbone stuck in Dai Mubai's throat, leaving him so Suffocated that it was unbearable.
Only before, because Dai Chengfeng had Innate Full Soul Power, Dai Mubai had not dared to say anything. But now...
Dai Chengfeng, you personally gave me the chance to surpass you!
Dai Mubai absolutely did not believe that the Soul Rings Dai Chengfeng had "recklessly" absorbed could be better than the Soul Ring absorption strategy painstakingly researched and established by the Dai Family Ancestor.
Since my Innate Soul Power is inferior to yours, Dai Chengfeng, then I'll use acquired Soul Skills to crush you!
For a moment, a hint of pride flashed through Dai Mubai's eyes. Dai Chengfeng! One day, I'll prove that you were wrong!
And also...
I am the most outstanding Prince of the Star Luo Empire. I am absolutely no worse than you, Dai Chengfeng!
Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river... Just you wait!
And just then, outside the Imperial Study.
That panting Guard finally arrived.
With a thud, he dropped to his knees and gasped heavily. "Your Majesty, Wu... Wu'an City, Urgent Delivery!"
"You said, Wu'an City, Urgent Delivery?!"
When Dai An heard that it was news from Wu'an City, his heart instantly skipped a beat. "Why is it another Urgent Delivery that can only be used during war..."
"But at this time, shouldn't Chengfeng have just finished building the road to Wu Ping City? The siege equipment probably hasn't even been made yet, right?"
"Could it be..."
A bad premonition flashed through Dai An's heart. "Could Chengfeng have attacked the city without using siege equipment? Otherwise, how could a battle report have come?"
But soon, Dai An shook his head again. "Forget it!"
"Losing is fine too. Just treat it as tempering for him. After all, how can life be smooth sailing? Besides, my Star Luo Empire can afford to lose."
"As long as he's safe, anything is fine!"
At that thought, Dai An took a deep breath. "Someone, bring me Wu'an City's urgent report."
Very soon.
Outside the Imperial Study, a personal Guard respectfully presented Wu'an City's urgent report to Dai An.
Dai An took the urgent report and hurriedly opened it.
Dai An, whose brows had been tightly furrowed, soon had his eyes fill with surprise. He even could not help blurting out, "Hm?"
"That actually works? Taking a city so easily?!"
In the history of Douluo Continent, there had been many siege battles, but almost everyone had relied on powerful Soul Power and troop strength to storm cities by force.
After all, absolute strength could break through all methods.
Because of that, almost no one had ever studied tactics in much depth.
Before this, Dai An had never heard that one could deliberately repair roads to lull the enemy, then enter directly through the city gates without using siege equipment.
"Hahaha, what a fine Openly Repair the Plank Road, Secret Raid on Wu Ping!"
Dai An's eyes were full of excitement and admiration, and the gloom on his face was swept away. "Good! Excellent!"
"This command was simply perfect..."
"It can absolutely be recorded in our Star Luo Military Academy, so those generals can study it over and over!"
At this moment, when Zhu Hongxiu saw the excited Dai An, her eyes were full of curiosity.
She hurriedly moved closer and asked anxiously, "Is it an urgent report from Wu'an City? What does it say? Why are you so happy?"
"Could it be that Feng'er has already set out and is preparing to return?"
Dai An did not speak. Instead, he handed the letter in his hand to the woman, his face carrying pride he could not conceal.
"Look. This is our good son, haha..."
"The pride of my Star Luo Empire!"
Hearing this, Zhu Hongxiu curiously took the envelope.
After reading only a few lines, her eyes instantly filled with joy and excitement as well, and she exclaimed, "Heavens! Is this still the Feng'er I know?"
"After nearly six months of planning, he personally led ten thousand soldiers into Wu Ping City. In the end, not only did he take Wu Ping City, which was easy to defend and hard to attack, he also wiped out more than twenty thousand enemies at the cost of fewer than a thousand losses!"
She looked excitedly at Dai An, light flickering in her eyes. "Is this all true?"
Hearing this, Dai An looked proud. With both hands clasped behind his back, he raised his head and said, "Of course. How could an Urgent Delivery be false?"
"The High Priest was right. Chengfeng truly is first-rate in this world, the finest among men!"
Zhu Hongxiu also nodded repeatedly, her eyes full of pride. "I knew my Feng'er would not disappoint us."
But when Dai Mubai, who was standing off to the side, heard this, he could not help frowning slightly.
"Father, Mother!"
At this moment, Dai Mubai took the initiative to step forward and gave a slight bow. "I believe Fourth Brother was wrong!"
"Hm?"
Hearing Dai Mubai's words, Dai An turned his head to look at his third son. "Mubai, you say Chengfeng was wrong?"
"Then tell me, where was he wrong?"
