The Ten Thousand Great Mountains.
This was one of Great Xia's Four Great Forbidden Zones.
On the outskirts of the Ten Thousand Great Mountains stood a massive, high-tech building covering a hundred mu.
It was called the Forbidden Zone Watch Station.
It was a place where the Transcendent Administration Bureau's overseers rested. When they grew tired from training in the Forbidden Zone, they would return here to rest.
Because it was so close to the Ten Thousand Great Mountains, they could quickly head over to investigate if any problems arose there.
At that moment, three people were inside.
They were a squad that had returned yesterday after completing a mission.
They were discussing matters concerning Shen Fei and Lin Qiye.
"Have you watched the video? That Shen Fei is far too confident and arrogant. Right now, we're the only three people at the Surveillance Station. When he gets here, we need to put him in his place and make him rein in that arrogance!" Li Changkong said.
Li Changkong was thin and small. But despite his slight build, his strength had already reached mortal entry stage seven, level nine.
By putting him in his place, he meant exchanging moves with Shen Fei to show him that there was always someone better, always a greater power, and thereby make him rein in his arrogance.
Almost every overseer who came here would be put in their place.
In fact, this practice had not existed for very long, only two months. It had started because an extremely arrogant overseer who had just arrived here had caused his entire squad to suffer grievous injuries during a mission to drive off fierce beasts. His arrogance had nearly gotten the whole squad wiped out. After that, the veterans would put everyone who came here in their place to strip away their arrogance.
Yun Meng frowned slightly and said, "Shen Fei isn't an overseer with the Transcendent Administration Bureau. He's working with us as a partner. Besides, didn't the director say that seeing him was the same as seeing the director? There's no need for us to treat Shen Fei like this."
Yun Meng was beautiful and very strong. She was the strongest member of the squad, as well as its captain. She was at mortal entry stage eight, level one.
The other young man, Han Tianlong, said, "You can't put it that way. We're helping him see himself clearly, helping him face reality, and letting him know that there's always someone better, always a greater power! He's far too combative and aloof. We need to help him change that. He'll understand our good intentions in the future."
Who cares? Who cares whether you're a partner? If you're coming here, you have to be taught a lesson right off the bat! What a joke. We all went through this, so why should Shen Fei be an exception... Han Tianlong thought.
Han Tianlong was at mortal entry stage seven, level nine.
Li Changkong agreed. "Tianlong is right. As spiritual energy fully recovers, this will become a tradition."
"And there's Lin Qiye, too. As soon as my friend heard he was coming to the Forbidden Zone, he called me last night and asked me to 'take care' of him. I'll take good care of both Lin Qiye and Shen Fei! I'll show them what a real Esper Ability user is!"
"I hope they won't be too weak!"
Yun Meng stood beside them, speechless. She could not stop them, nor was there any need to.
It had nothing to do with her anyway.
Time passed quickly.
In the blink of an eye, night had fallen.
Nanyun City.
The Transcendent Administration Bureau's private airport.
At that moment, the private plane from the Imperial Capital had arrived.
Xing Feixiang, director of the Transcendent Administration Bureau Nanyun Branch Bureau, was already waiting there.
He was going to welcome them personally.
Of course, he was not there to welcome Lin Qiye, but Shen Fei.
Shen Fei was a partner of the Transcendent Administration Bureau, and they had already worked together twice. Both times, he had provided tremendous help. Naturally, Xing Feixiang had come to welcome Shen Fei as a show of the Transcendent Administration Bureau's respect.
At the same time, he was also there to give Shen Fei a case of Spirit Stones.
Yun Yongfeng had instructed him to do so.
Shen Fei had not yet received his payment for dealing with the Heavenly God Cult.
Thus, the case of Spirit Stones Xing Feixiang would give Shen Fei this time was the payment Yun Yongfeng had promised.
Soon, he saw two people walk out.
One was Shen Fei, his expression cold and his long hair fluttering, dressed in the Red Battle Armor with the Uchiha Gunbai on his back.
The other was Lin Qiye, dressed in casual clothes.
"You're finally here. Allow me to introduce myself. I'm Xing Feixiang, director of the Transcendent Administration Bureau's Nanyun City branch."
Lin Qiye greeted him politely. "Director Xing."
"I'm Lin Qiye, and this is Shen Fei."
Xing Feixiang nodded. Seeing that Shen Fei was extremely cold and did not seem easy to talk to, he did not say much more.
He pointed at a large black case on the ground and said to Shen Fei, "Director Yun asked me to give this to you. It's your payment for helping the Transcendent Administration Bureau deal with the Heavenly God Cult."
Shen Fei looked at the case, and his black eyes immediately turned into the Sharingan.
In an instant, Shen Fei saw a large mass of fluctuating spiritual energy.
Barring any surprises, everything inside would be Spirit Stones.
And flawless ones at that!
Shen Fei stood on no ceremony and immediately created a Shadow Clone.
He had the clone carry the large case.
Xing Feixiang, standing beside him, was somewhat surprised. Although Yun Yongfeng had sent him more information about Shen Fei, and he knew that Shen Fei was a Bloodline Holder with a wide variety of abilities,
he was still astonished by what he saw. This clone actually had a physical body. It was incredible.
Lin Qiye had fought Shen Fei before and knew he possessed an ability similar to the Clone Technique, so he was not particularly surprised.
Xing Feixiang said, "It's late. I've already arranged a hotel for you. Rest for tonight, and tomorrow I'll take you to the Forbidden Zone Watch Station in the Ten Thousand Great Mountains."
Lin Qiye said, "Sorry for the trouble, Director."
Lin Qiye knew he certainly did not have enough standing to make a branch director come out and welcome him personally. Xing Feixiang had therefore come to welcome Shen Fei. Since that was the case, and Shen Fei's personality was simply like that, Director Xing could not blame him. But Lin Qiye could not act like Shen Fei. Of course he had to be more polite.
Xing Feixiang led Shen Fei and Lin Qiye toward the hotel beside the Transcendent Administration Bureau's private airport.
After bringing Shen Fei and Lin Qiye there, Xing Feixiang left.
Inside the hotel room.
The Shadow Clone set down the large case and opened it.
Inside were exactly one hundred flawless Spirit Stones.
Shen Fei clapped his hands together and created another ninety-eight Shadow Clones.
Each took a Spirit Stone and began absorbing it.
Exactly one hundred Spirit Stones, one for each of them.
Soon,
a mere eighteen minutes had passed.
All the Spirit Stones had been completely absorbed!
Shen Fei dispelled the Shadow Clones.
With a series of pops, they all vanished. At the same time, a substantial amount of pure spiritual power appeared inside him.
His strength had increased once again.
He took out the Spiritual Power Tester he had not returned.
He placed his hand on it. A white light flashed, and a number appeared on the display.
7496!
He had reached mortal entry stage seven, level four, just short of mortal entry stage seven, level five.
Shen Fei took a deep breath.
He was starting to look forward to reaching the Ten Thousand Great Mountains tomorrow.
