—------------------—
Evening, East Sea City.
The East Sea Five-Man team entered a restaurant, chatting idly.
"Wu Lin, tell me, after we graduate from East Sea Academy, should we go to Mingdu or Shrek?"
The glow of the setting sun shone on them, and Xie Xie was in a good mood. He slurped some iced watermelon juice and, with a thick tongue, pontificated.
He had the kind of confidence that said, "When I grow up, will I go to Harvard or MIT?"
Beside him, Xu Xiaoyan, who was eating snacks with her drink, let out a "pfft" and mercilessly attacked her friend:
"So confident? Don't end up not even passing the entrance exam."
Xie Xie pouted, crossed his legs, and patted his chest, boasting, "As a dignified twin spirits Genius, is passing an assessment even a big deal?"
"There's a cow flying in the sky; turns out you're just blowing hot air on the ground. Someone knows very well what flaws his innate twin spirits have, oh."
Xu Xiaoyan giggled, delivering a heavy blow to her friend.
Xie Xie's face darkened, and he mumbled, "I asked Wu Lin, not you. Students who already have admission qualifications are forbidden to speak."
"Nyah You can't control me" Xu Xiaoyan made a face at him, mischievous and completely unyielding.
Xie Xie's vision went dark. He turned to look at Tang Wulin and said earnestly, "Wu Lin, you tell me."
Tang Wulin rubbed his hair and said, a little embarrassed:
"I'm a fourth-rank Forging Master, so I can enter through the Forging Master Association's special recruitment."
Xie Xie's eyes immediately widened: "You can skip exams for both sides?"
Tang Wulin nodded honestly: "My Senior Brother told me this at the Tianhai Competition's Forging Master competition."
"However, Shrek City has an independent Forging Master Association, which requires a lot of troublesome procedures, so there might be a special assessment."
At the Tianhai Competition, Feng Zaixing served as a remote judge for the Forging Master competition via a Soul Tool screen. The champion was, not surprisingly, Tang Wulin. The Tang Clan was indeed good at grabbing hammers.
Any academy with a normal brain would open its doors wide for such a Forging Genius and not make things difficult.
However, this fact was undoubtedly a severe blow to Xie Xie. He put on a mask of pain and looked at Wang Jinxi and Zhang Yangzi with his last glimmer of hope.
"What about you two?"
"We have a Spirit Fusion Skill. As long as we advance to Spirit Elder, we're guaranteed to pass the assessment."
The two exchanged glances, giving their classmate Xie Xie a small shock of being on the shore.
No matter how the times changed, Spirit Fusion Skills were always synonymous with power.
"Thump!"
The watermelon juice fell to the ground. Xie Xie's face was filled with indignation. Was he the one with the least advantage in the team?
"Why am I an agility-attack system nobody loves, boo hoo hoo—"
"It seems you're all in a good mood. I've come at just the right time."
Just then, a gentle and clear male voice sounded from afar.
The five, who had been laughing and playing just a moment ago, instantly straightened up and greeted the elegant arrival.
"Senior Brother (Idol/Great God)!"
The newcomer was indeed Feng Zaixing, who walked with a powerful stride, a smile on his face:
"Hello everyone, I'm here to say goodbye. I'm returning to Mingdu."
"Ah? Great God, you're leaving?" Xu Xiaoyan's small mouth slightly opened, somewhat surprised.
"Yes, I've gained a lot and been very happy during my time in East Sea, but all good things must come to an end."
Feng Zaixing nodded, smiling: "I could take you to Mingdu early, but looking at you, I'm sure you'd prefer to spend a couple more years with your family and friends, right?"
Hearing this, Xu Xiaoyan stuck out her tongue sheepishly, having been seen through.
"It's good to be with family and friends. The Sun Moon Royal Soul Engineer Academy will build a stargazing platform just for you."
After encouraging Xu Xiaoyan, Feng Zaixing's gaze turned to Tang Wulin:
"Junior Brother, Junior Martial Uncle told me about your situation. You have the Golden Dragon Bloodline and abundant Qi and blood, right?"
"Yes."
Tang Wulin nodded. After that sleepwalking incident, he had awakened a trace of the Golden Dragon Bloodline, and his Blue Silver Grass's quality improved. His Cultivation speed had increased significantly, allowing him to keep up with his companions.
But he still didn't understand how he ended up there, and Teacher Mu Chen hadn't found anything either.
"Then, has Junior Martial Uncle told you about my identity?" Feng Zaixing asked.
At his words, Xie Xie and the others' eyes immediately lit up with curiosity. Identity? This person had too many identities.
Tang Wulin thought for a moment: "Is it the Young Sect Master of the Body Sect?"
"Correct." Feng Zaixing nodded: "Junior Martial Uncle said he hopes I can introduce you to the Body Sect's outer sect. The Body Sect has a theoretical method to make any Spirit undergo a second Awakening."
"I heard you've already joined the Tang Sect. Our Sect and the Tang Sect have no past grievances, but sectarian differences do exist. So I must ask you, are you willing to withdraw from the Tang Sect and join the Body Sect?"
"Although our Sect has been in decline for a long time, it will certainly return to its peak, no weaker than the four top powers."
Hearing this, Tang Wulin immediately looked conflicted. The expressions of Xie Xie, Xu Xiaoyan, and Wang and Zhang also changed.
On one side was the Tang Sect, with countless legends, and on the other was the Body Sect, home to a peerless Great God. It seemed like a difficult choice.
No one doubted Feng Zaixing's words. Having defeated Lan Muzi, he was already recognized as the number one Prodigy of the new generation, with boundless prospects.
A moment later, Tang Wulin gently shook his head.
"I'm sorry, Senior Brother, I appreciate your kindness; but I've admired the legends of the Tang Sect since I was young, and the one who led me into the Tang Sect was Teacher Wu, so—"
"Alright, everyone has their own aspirations. As long as you've thought it through, I hope you always walk your own path well."
Feng Zaixing pulled out a chair and sat down, smiling at everyone: "Business is done, let's eat. My treat today."
The somewhat tense atmosphere immediately relaxed. Xie Xie shamelessly grabbed the menu and said with a mischievous smile, "Then, Idol, you're out of luck. Wu Lin is a super big eater."
Feng Zaixing smiled freely: "I've seen bigger eaters. Being able to eat is a blessing."
Xie Xie sidled up to him with a cheeky grin: "Idol, you said the Body Sect can make anyone's Spirit undergo a second Awakening. Look at me—"
"Right? Can you improve my potential?"
Feng Zaixing looked at him seriously, then shook his head: "No, your Qi and blood are too weak."
"Hahahahaha, so Xie Xie, you're weak after all—"
Xie Xie instantly turned to stone. Xu Xiaoyan laughed out loud unkindly, and Wang Jinxi and Zhang Yangzi also joined the joyful family.
"Haha—"
Hearing Tang Wulin's voice beside him, Xie Xie was furious: "Even you, Wu Lin, with your thick eyebrows and big eyes, are laughing at me!"
Tang Wulin immediately stopped laughing, showing a very apologetic expression: "I'm sorry, Xie Xie, being weak isn't your fault."
"You black-hearted—!"
Xie Xie was so angry he rolled his eyes, shouting "No justice!" and began to wrestle with Tang Wulin.
The restaurant was filled with a lively atmosphere.
The meal, a whirlwind of eating, quickly ended. Feng Zaixing paid the bill, then patted Xie Xie's shoulder, saying, "Perhaps you'll achieve great things late in life when you reach the seven rings," and then drifted away.
To prove he wasn't weak, Xie Xie had eaten so much he was completely stuffed, slumped in his seat unable to stand. Hearing those words, he rekindled his hope and said excitedly:
"Did you hear that? Idol said I have the potential to achieve great things late in life!"
Tang Wulin whispered: "Maybe he was just comforting you?"
"Ahhh, Wu Lin, I'm going to fight you to the death!" Xie Xie went crazy, wanting to compete with Tang Wulin.
Hundreds of meters up in the sky, Le Zhengyang waited for Feng Zaixing and said with some curiosity:
"You seem very interested in that young fellow named Tang Wulin?"
"Sort of. Too bad I couldn't poach him."
Feng Zaixing didn't deny it. He wasn't interested in Tang Wulin because of the Golden Dragon King Seal; he mainly wanted to show up the God King Tang.
Unfortunately, he didn't succeed.
He concluded that the reason for his failure was that he couldn't use force, so when dealing with his true target, he decisively resorted to extraordinary means.
"Thump!"
Five hundred meters beneath Heaven Dou City, Feng Zaixing, with Le Zhengyang's help, entered this underground World opened by the Tang Sect. He found Ling Zichen and immediately delivered a blow to her head.
"Who—"
Ling Zichen's vision went black. Before her curse could escape her lips, she lost consciousness. The surrounding air was sucked away, preventing sound from propagating. Feng Zaixing had truly learned his lesson.
Dragging her into a corner, Feng Zaixing took out a passport photo prepared earlier by the Forging Master Association, compared it briefly, and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
"It's rare to come out, and it would be too much of a loss not to get something from the Tang Sect. I couldn't get Tang Wulin, but you're not bad either; you're the Sea God Pavilion Master for the next ten thousand years."
Ling Zichen's appearance wasn't exceptionally beautiful; she was full of wildness, with a unique figure. As described in the original text, her hip curve was different from ordinary people.
Just as Feng Zaixing was thinking about how to remove her Tang Sect ideology, Le Zhengyang appeared, bringing two middle-aged people, who were Ling Zichen's parents.
"Everything went smoothly. Let's go." Feng Zaixing smiled.
Le Zhengyang's expression was very solemn. He looked around and said, "It's shocking. The underground beneath Heaven Dou City has been hollowed out by the Tang Sect. The output of the arsenal they've built here is enough for one-third of the Federation's legions."
With a long sigh, the old Quasi-God's eyes flashed with cold light: "This old man finally knows where the advanced armaments of those two continents came from. Hmph, what a Tang Sect!"
Feng Zaixing's smile vanished, and he said indifferently, "Now is not the time to settle accounts with them. Let this cancerous tumor live for a while longer."
"Sooner or later, we will uproot this cancerous tumor, the Tang Sect."
