Chapter 1601: A Snake?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Sacred Cry was stunned by the way Lin Yuan addressed it.

Although it had been alive for more than 1,000 years, it had the mentality of a child. Otherwise, it would not have done something like pouring its tears down White Phoenix's throat.

When Sacred Cry saw the Mother of Bloodbath, the Mother of Bloodbath addressed it as 'Senior Sacred Cry'.

However, Sacred Cry had not thought much of it at the time.

I've lived for so long while the Mother of Bloodbath only just started its life. I am indeed its senior.

!

Since Sacred Cry was a wolf, it had a faithful yet indifferent nature.

Although Jade Sundial had died, Sacred Cry did not transfer how it felt toward Jade Sundial to the Mother of Bloodbath.

Hence, Sacred Cry still had not fully acknowledged the Mother of Bloodbath.

But since Lin Yuan was able to revive Jade Sundial, Sacred Cry did acknowledge him.

In such a circumstance, Lin Yuan addressed it as 'Auntie Sacred Cry'.

This made Sacred Cry feel very grown up!

It was well aware that the Moon Empress was leaving it in the marsh world because she wanted it to protect Lin Yuan.

Sacred Cry would not shirk this duty from a logical standpoint and because it was grateful toward him.

Sacred Cry decided that as long as Lin Yuan was in the marsh world, it would keep its gaze fully trained on him and do whatever it took to safeguard him.

The Moon Empress looked up and surveyed the light green moon in the sky before she said, "Little Yuan, I am going to swallow the moon! Feel free to do whatever you want. I will need about two hours."

The moment she was done speaking, she lifted her hand, and a staff made of moonbeams appeared in her grip.

There were two gems, one white and one red on top of the staff.

Upon closer inspection, Lin Yuan realized that the two gems were two miniature moons.

It was likely that they were puppets of the moon from the main world and the moon from the abyssal world.

Clearly, the staff was not Forage Moon's original appearance.

However, Forage Moon's moon power was too concentrated that it covered the staff with a layer of moonbeams.

Given Lin Yuan's current power, he could not break through the moonbeams layer to check for Forage Moon's original appearance.

However, he could faintly sense that Forage Moon's original body was not in the staff. Something else had curved himself into a staff.

This was because Lin Yuan noticed that the staff's shape was changing slightly with every passing moment.

Soon, Lin Yuan watched as the Moon Empress raised the staff into the sky, and it immediately turned into a shroud of moonbeams that covered the light green moon in the sky.

This made the light green moon appear more blurry yet clear at the same time.

As Lin Yuan stared at the light green moon, he made out a twisting figure within.

A snake?

Lin Yuan felt that the figure seemed more and more like a snake.

He had learned about the formation of sacred source lifeforms from White Speak.

In order for a sacred source lifeform to consume celestial phenomena as sustenance, it had to be on a higher level than all the sacred source lifeforms that Lin Yuan was familiar with.

Since the Sacred Sword Wielding Queen was formed from two sacred source lifeforms, it was impossible to give it a ranking.

However, Lin Yuan felt that it had to be at a lower level than Forage Moon.

Lin Yuan had assumed that the Grace Queen had been formed from a dead Dictator's totem.

This meant that Forage Moon was a Dictator that had entered the Turning Wheel Realm. Or rather, a sacred source lifeform transformed from a dimensional lifeform that was of a higher level than Dictator!

The Moon Empress had been lucky to catch a sacred source lifeform of this level from a Class 5 dimensional rift.

At that moment, the Moon Empress' eyes were closed, and moon energy, spirit qi, and spiritual power were overflowing from her.

It was as though she had become one with the light green moon in the sky.

However, because of the screen that Sacred Cry put up, not even Lin Yuan nor the Medusa Snake Demons, who were not far off, could sense anything.

When he saw that the light green moon and the Moon Empress had fully fused together, Lin Yuan smiled brightly.

Lin Yuan did not think of the pure spirit qi that he gave the Moon Empress as a gift.

But this light green moon was definitely considered one.

The Class 6 dimensional rift that had opened in the Spirit Mother Federation was an alien insect dimensional rift. RE𝒂ad updated st𝒐ries at n/𝒐

Once Bu Po became the Spirit Mother's disciple, it would be possible for him to enter the alien insect world with Lin Yuan's help.

There was also a high chance of Lin Yuan gaining access to the water world through Yin Lin.

The subterranean world also had a black moon.

However, Lin Yuan still did not have access to that backward world.

Regardless, Lin Yuan now had a new goal of helping the Moon Empress' staff gain the complete set of six moonstones.

He knew how much the Moon Empress spoiled him.

Previously, he had been powerless.

But now that he was capable, he was going to properly repay his master.

…

Night had fallen in the Radiance Federation's Royal Capital.

The fiery clouds on the horizon were breathtaking but were such a common sight in the Royal Capital that its citizens were already used to it.

However, although the sun had not fully set, the sky had already darkened.

Black clouds gathered in an angry swirl as torrents of rain fell in a crashing waterfall onto the Royal Capital.

At that moment, toward the west of the imperial court inside the visitor's lobby, a middle-aged man dressed in blue robes was listening to a report from an elderly man as he massaged his temples with his fingers.

A moment later, the elegant man wearing a blue robe raised his head and asked the elderly man suspiciously, "Are you saying that the fourth Azure Envoy Yin Lin already secretly met with the Moon Empress' disciple Lin Yuan long ago and that they've developed feelings for each other?"

The elderly man nodded seriously.

But at the same time, a voice bellowed into his ears, "He Chuan! Do you think that I'm incapable of reprimanding others? You are not only making a mountain out of a molehill but might even be stirring trouble out of nothing and besmirching Lordess Yin Lin's name! If news of this gets out, not only will Lordess Yin Lin have your head, but the Azure Cloud Leopard aristocratic family and the entire Azure Federation will destroy you!"

The elderly man's eyes widened.

Making a mountain out of a molehill? Stirring trouble out of nothing? I saw it with my own eyes! You didn't see how Lordess Yin Lin acted and the way she gazed at the Moon Empress' disciple! Moreover, I only got to see what took place outside of the carriage. Who knows what happened inside the carriage?

Chapter 1602: Envoy Group Trouble

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The longer the elderly man thought about it, the more hurt he felt.

Lan Xun, you're the one who asked me to stay by Lordess Yin Lin's side. Am I not supposed to tell you about such a matter? You even brought up how Lordess Yin Lin will have my head, and the Azure Cloud Leopard family and Azure Federation will destroy me? What did I do? All I did was lay out the events that took place.

The elderly man shot a begrudged look at Lan Xun.

At the same time, he knew that Lan Xun had said that to remind him to filter his words.

The elderly man was not stupid. Expplôre 𝒖ptod𝒂te stories at no/𝒗el/bin.c𝒐m

He was a pinnacle Immortal expert who was only one step away from Eternal. As such, he knew his role well.

For the past decade, even before the next Azure Envoy had been confirmed, he had been Yin Lin's Protector.

Nothing was more important for a girl than her virtue.

It would be fine if she fell in love with one of the elites in the Azure Federation. But the reality was that she was in love with the Moon Empress' disciple!

Regardless of whether Lan Xun believed him, the elderly man was certain that Yin Lin was interested in the Moon Empress' disciple. Otherwise, she would not have looked at him in such a way.

When he saw the way that the elderly man was looking at him bitterly, Lan Xun's fist itched.

He waved his hand and said, "Elder Meng, you should return! Lordess Yin Lin is going to be locked away for a few days, and you should watch over her. I will take that group of brats with me to go on the tours."

The elderly man pouted.

He had no choice but to do as Lan Xun said.

After he left, Lan Xun frowned.

He knew that although Elder Meng's words were exaggerated, he would never stir trouble out of nothing and lie about Yin Lin.

It was very likely that he was speaking the truth.

Lan Xun was well aware of Yin Lin's background.

He felt that there was no way that Yin Lin could have known Yin Lin for some time.

But why did she act so familiarly with Lin Yuan if this was the case? Could it be that Lin Yuan's sacred source lifeform had the ability of allurement?

Impossible!

Yin Lin's contraction of two sacred source lifeforms was a major secret of the Azure Federation.

With her second sacred source lifeform, no one in her generation would be able to control her.

The longer Lan Xun mulled over it, the more confused he became.

It was not like he could go and ask Yin Lin!

Yin Lin and the Moon Empress' disciple had had a secret discussion.

Elder Meng had not sensed any spies from the Freedom Federation envoy group, so it was unlikely that they had gleaned any information.

What did the Moon Empress' disciple invite Yin Lin into his fey carriage to talk about? There was no question that it was related to the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection.

When Lan Xun saw Yin Lin refuse to work with the Freedom Federation envoy group, he assumed that it was because Yin Lin did not want to get involved in the mess.

But now, it seemed that she had other intentions as well.

Was it possible that she had been leaning toward the Radiance Federation from the beginning?

The Azure Federation had always remained neutral and worked with both the Radiance Federation and Freedom Federation.

But once the Freedom Federation and Radiance Federation truly started crossing swords, it would be impossible for the Azure Federation to remain on the fence because the other two federations would force them to make a decision.

The 12 aristocratic families in the Azure Federation were split on which side they were going to take.

The goal of this trip to the Radiance Federation was to debut Yin Lin as the fourth Azure Envoy.

She was the leader of this envoy group.

Although Lan Xun was her teacher, he was only accompanying her on this trip.

Thus, no matter how Yin Lin felt or what decision she made, it would represent the will of the entire Azure Federation envoy group.

Lan Xun did not intend to think too much about it because all he needed to do was protect Yin Lin.

Lan Xun was very confident about being able to accomplish this.

…

After the Freedom Federation envoy group came to the Radiance Federation, they did not stay at the accommodation that the Radiance Federation had arranged for them.

Rather, they chose to stay at a villa at Flowing Rocks Mountain.

Evidently, the Freedom Federation never bothered to act like they trusted the Radiance Freedom Federation.

Although the Freedom Federation had come to the Radiance Federation with a special intention, they were also afraid that the Radiance Federation would tamper with the arranged accommodations.

A powerful shield had been set up in the villa at Flowing Rocks Mountain and locked in the entire mountain.

At present, the Freedom Federation envoy group was having a meeting.

Thanks to the shield, the contents of the meeting would not be leaked to outsiders.

As the official Freedom Envoy amongst the Freedom Federation envoy group, Qian Yu sat on the main seat.

Three elderly men were standing next to him.

You Changjian, Yan Ling, and Cai Huo sat around the table, and the rest of the Freedom Federation's chosen members of the Freedom Hundred Sequence all held their breaths and lowered their heads.

The members of the Freedom Hundred Sequence did not have the right to participate in this meeting.

Yan Ling serenely said, "Big Brother Qian, I think you're making a much bigger issue out of this than it actually is. How strong can the new members of the Radiance Hundred Sequence be? There's no need for Chanjian and Ah Huo to join in. I will be able to handle it on my own."

Qian Yu's face fell, and he said to Yan Ling, "Yan Ling, if you continue to be so arrogant, I will report this to the members of royalty when we return. The three of you are aware of our purpose for coming here. Anyone out of the three of you will be enough if we're just killing the ten new members of the Radiance Hundred Sequence.

"Besides the three of you, Yu Hairun might be a better choice. The three of you were sent out because your sacred source lifeforms can work together. Suppose your arrogance causes us to fail in our purpose and affects the members of royalty's plan to attack the current Radiance Envoys. In that case, you will have to deal with the consequences when you return to the Freedom Federation."

Yan Ling's expression froze when she heard what Qian Yu said.

Although she still felt that she was strong enough on her own, she no longer dared to act in such a manner.

She was haughtier than You Changjian and Cai Huo because she was favored by three of the Freedom Federation's royalty while Cai Huo and You Changjian were only favored by two.

However, she could not act in a truly superior way.

If she really flipped the table on their plan in the Radiance Federation, Qian Yu would report the chain of events to the royalty in the Freedom Mystic Temple.

Chapter 1603: No! It Has to Be Reported to the Freedom Mystic Temple!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Yan Ling would definitely be reprimanded by the members of royalty and possibly punished as well.

If that happened, it would be very difficult for her to become a Freedom Envoy!

You Changjian, Yan Ling, and Cai Huo's confidence came from the cooperative abilities of their sacred source lifeforms.

When they acted together, they were much more valuable than they were on their own.

The Freedom Federation's royalty never favored one young expert.

For example, Du Miao had the favor of six members of royalty.

Yan Ling knew that she was important but not irreplaceable.

Hence, she conceded and said, "Big Brother Qian, I underestimated the Radiance Federation's young generation. Since you're the one leading the envoy group, the three of us will listen to you!"

Cai Huo and You Changjian's expressions soured when they heard what Yan Ling said.

Qian Yu had been trying to obtain speaking leadership the entire trip.

But the fact was that being favored by the members of royalty meant that the three of them also held considerable authority.

If the three of them agreed on something, Qian Yu might have to listen to them even if he held an opposing opinion.

But now, Yan Ling gave up all three of their authorities just because of one thing that Qian Yu said. Upstodatee from n(0)/v𝒆/lbIn/.(co/m

The more disciples of the Radiance Federation's royalty that they could kill, the weaker the Radiance Federation would become, and the more accomplished the three of them would be.

Qian Yu was very selfish and put his benefits above everything else.

Their team had to hunt down the Radiance Federation's younger generation during this battle, no matter what.

But if the Radiance Federation's younger generation turned out to be stronger, they would change from the hunters to the hunted instead.

Thus, they needed to preserve their authority.

Cai Huo hastily said, "Big Brother Qian, I heard that there is a man called Black amongst the Radiance Federation's younger generation and that he's very powerful! We saw many people dressed as him on the streets while on the way here. Although we have not looked into him, he must be a top expert to be put on such a pedestal. I suggest we deal with him like he's a disciple of a member of royalty. He wears a mask, so it's likely that he truly is a disciple of royalty!

"Hence, I suggest pulling in another disciple of royalty into the battle! If we take down Black, another disciple of royalty, and the nine members of the Radiance Hundred Sequence, we will fulfill the task given by the members of royalty."

When Cai Huo said what You Changjian wanted to say, he did not pile anything on.

If Qian Yu had a different opinion, and he spoke in support of Cai Huo, then his words would pack more punch.

When Qian Yu heard what Cai Huo said, he felt that Yan Ling, You Changjian, and Cai Huo's dynamic was rather interesting.

Yan Ling was arrogant, Cai Huo was conservative, while You Changjian preferred to take a step back once one of his teammates had a stronger voice.

The three of them could perfectly make up for what each other lacked.

Qian Yu did not plan on doing as Cai Huo said.

The royalty from the Freedom Mystic Temple would never agree to treat Black as a disciple of the Radiance Federation's royalty.

That would make this a wasted trip, and the other four Freedom Envoys would mock him.

Thus, Qian Yu decided that he had to do something big.

Nonetheless, he was in no rush to reveal his plan. Instead, he said, "I received news today that Cicada Song has accepted a new disciple. He is a support-type spirit qi professional named Gao Feng and will be participating in the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection."

Qian Yu paused before he went on to say, "Cicada Song's disciple is purely support-type. I think that both he and Black can be seen as one disciple of royalty. Yan Ling, what do you think?"

Qian Yu knew that the hubristic Yan Ling would definitely agree with him.

Just as he expected, she said, "Unless there are two powerful combat forces, there's no point in there being a support-type spirit qi professional. It would be an overestimation to treat Gao Feng and Black as one disciple of royalty!"

Qian Yu looked at Cai Huo and saw that his expression had soured.

Cai Huo was also a pure support-type spirit qi professional, just like Gao Feng.

You Changjian could no longer hold back and said, "If this is the case, if we involve another disciple of royalty, we will have to face two disciples of royalty and the mysterious Black at the same time."

Qian Yu shook his head and said, "Not two, but four."

Now, even the haughty Yan Ling's face fell.

How were the three of them supposed to defeat four disciples of the Radiance Federation's royalty?

Just as the three of them were about to protest, Qian Yu said, "I'm only 28 years old this year and am the youngest of the current Freedom Envoys. Do you think the Radiance Federation will agree for three of their royalty's disciples to take on one of me?"

Yan Ling, You Changjian, and Cai Huo were astonished.

That's right! There's no way the Radiance Federation knows who the three of us are.?

There was already a disciple of royalty amongst the Radiance Hundred Sequence.

If another three were also called into battle against Qian Yu, there was no way that the Radiance Federation would disagree or risk tarnishing its reputation.

Qian Yu's age was still within range for the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection.

If he managed to take down four disciples of royalty and Black, the power of the Radiance Federation's younger generation would definitely be seriously affected.

Once they returned, the three would definitely become Freedom Envoys.

Moreover, Qian Yu would definitely leave a way out for himself.

As the Freedom Federation's youngest Freedom Envoy, he had to value his life.

Thus, Yan Ling, You Changjian, and Cai Huo nodded and said, "We shall go with your plan."

You Changjian pondered for a moment before he said, "Big Brother Qian, if the Radiance Federation rejects it, I can still call down another disciple of royalty. Given that quantity, I'm sure the members of royalty who favor me will understand if I don't participate."

Qian Yu did not respond.

Rather, the three elderly men felt a wave of exhaustion wash over them.

Qian Yu dragged them into such a serious situation. Once they returned to the Freedom Federation, all the pressure would fall on their shoulders.

No! They had to report this to the Freedom Mystic Temple. Just to be safe, a member of royalty had to come to the Radiance Federation!

Chapter 1604: Don't Be Picky!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

It was always daytime in the marsh world, and the sky never darkened.

Actually, this was not fully accurate.

According to Lin Yuan's observation, the marsh world did have night and day.

During the day, the sky was light green. But at night, it became faintly purple, and both the moon and sun hung in the sky side by side, with the moon slightly brighter.

None of the lifeforms in the marsh world could sense a difference.

By now, the Moon Empress' body had disappeared. In her place was the energy from the moon.

The Sacred Cry Moon Beast had turned into a moon and gathered the moon energy from the marsh world to camouflage itself so that it could stay in the marsh world to protect Lin Yuan.

The light green moon seemed brighter than usual.

The moonbeams that fell tangled together and formed a staff in the Moon Empress' hand.

The staff used to only have one white and one red stone. But now, there was another light green one as well.

The light green stone was evidence that Forage Moon had gained another moon puppet.

At that moment, the Moon Empress opened her eyes and said with a smile, "Little Yuan, thank you for bringing me this opportunity!"

Lin Yuan hastily replied, "Master, you don't have to thank me. You saved my life countless times! I should be the one thanking you!"

The Moon Empress did not thank others easily and had only uttered the words a few times in her life.

She said it to Lin Yuan because he had truly given her major opportunities.

He enabled her to have an endless lifespan, pure spirit qi that she used to cross that step and gain a third moon puppet.

The Moon Empress felt that she would not have been able to achieve these three things on her own.

But Lin Yuan was right as well. It seemed overly polite for her to thank her disciple.

Lin Yuan went on to say, "Master, I can now produce even purer spirit qi. Additionally, I can produce even purer elemental energy than that within heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls. I've already harvested more than 1,000 Spirit-Mouthed Peonies. You can take them now."

Lin Yuan handed a Diamond fey storage box to the Moon Empress.

When the Moon Empress received the Diamond fey storage box, she felt as though Lin Yuan had become her Master instead.

Where did he go to obtain such treasures?

By being able to produce elemental energy even purer than what was within heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls, he could already be considered a Class 6 Creation Master.

The Moon Empress did not stand on ceremony because she could do many things with the pure spirit qi.

Mystic Moon had also reached that step.

With pure spirit qi, Cold Moon would also have the ability to take that step.

The Moon Empress had learned about Chu Ci's talent from Cold Moon.

She had been shocked by what Cold Moon told her.

Despite not having even reached 16 years old, she was already a B-rank spirit qi professional.

Although the rate at which one's spirit qi professional rank was raised could not be a measure of strength because their power could be limited by their inability to provide their fey with resources, this was not the case for Chu Ci.

Chu Ci had an endless supply of resources.

As long as her spirit qi professional rank continued to rise, her feys would also become stronger.

Cold Moon had helped Chu Ci to roll grades.

As such, Chu Ci was now on par with most members of the Radiance Hundred Sequence.

In another year, she would be able to study at the Royal Capital Advanced Spirit Qi University and take part in the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection.

Chu Ci was supposed to participate in this year's Radiance Hundred Sequence selection along with Lin Yuan.

However, Cold Moon had opposed the idea because she did not want Chu Ci to become involved in the conflict between the Radiance Federation and Freedom Federation at such a young age.

Cold Moon was already worried enough that Lin Yuan was involved in it. She could not bear to allow Chu Ci to join the fray as well.

Moreover, she felt that she would not be able to answer Lin Yuan if she allowed Chu Ci to participate in the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection.

Cold Moon estimated that even at the slowest rate, Chu Ci would become an A-rank spirit qi professional within five years.

At that time, Chu Ci would be able to possess a Myth Breed fey.

Cold Moon had never gauged Chu Ci before.

But now, she felt that Chu Ci might have the ability to join the Radiance Envoy selection two years later. Or, at the very least, she would become a Radiance Knight.

But eventually, Cold Moon decided not to allow Chu Ci to participate two years later.

Chu Ci would turn 26 years old ten years later, and it would not be too late to become a Radiance Envoy then.

Becoming a Radiance Envoy directly rather than a Radiance Knight was much better.

Cold Moon could dedicate her whole life to the Moon Empress and the Radiance Federation.

When it came to Chu Ci, all she hoped was that Chu Ci would be able to lead a carefree life.

The Moon Empress received Lin Yuan's Diamond fey storage box and said, "Lin Yuan, let's go back. By this time, Cold Moon and Little Ci should have arrived back at the Radiant Moon Palace."

Lin Yuan took out the Jeweled Cave Golden Toad and stored the Moon Empress within before he returned to the Spirit Lock spatial zone through Klein Hub.

He jumped out of the Spirit Lock spatial zone and back into the breeding room before releasing the Moon Empress.

The Moon Empress became more curious about Lin Yuan's method when she found herself back in the Radiant Moon Palace in an instant.

Nonetheless, she was not going to ask Lin Yuan about it. Rather, she would help him to keep his secret.

When he pushed open the door of the breeding room, he saw Chu Ci standing there. She had clearly been waiting for him.

The instant that she spotted Lin Yuan, Chu Ci smiled innocently and spread her arms.

Lin Yuan took a step forward and hugged her. He picked her up and spun around. Expplôre 𝒖ptod𝒂te stories at no/𝒗el/bin.c𝒐m

This was when he realized that Chu Ci had grown taller.

Previously, she had only reached his shoulder. But now, she was up to the height of his face.

Additionally, she seemed lighter.

Lin Yuan frowned and asked, "Chi Ci, have you picked up your bad habit of being picky again? I've always told you to eat whatever you're given and not to be picky!"

Chapter 1605: Comprehension From the Genes!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Chu Ci pouted and thought,?I haven't been picky! I didn't know better when I was young. Whenever I saw food, I would eat it because I was afraid that I wouldn't get to eat it again. I know how to control myself now.

The Moon Empress looked at Lin Yuan with shock and thought,?Lin Yuan, you're pretty smart. So, why do you act like a dumb boy sometimes? Girls naturally become vainer as they grow older. It's normal for her to want to watch her weight!

However, Chu Ci was visibly skinnier.

The Moon Empress reached out and patted down the stray hairs on Chu Ci's head as she said, "I will go and help Mystic Moon and Cold Moon prepare dinner. The two of you should have many things to talk about."

The Moon Empress turned and left the breeding room.

Mystic Moon had heard about the Moon Empress' lifespan being reduced to three years from Cicada Song.

If not for Cicada Song, Mystic Moon would not have learned about it until the end.

Mystic Moon did not want to tell Cold Moon about this.

However, Cold Moon was also a Moon Envoy and deserved to know.

Luckily, the Moon Empress was no longer in danger and had returned to her regular state.

Mystic Moon said seriously, "Cold Moon, when you called me last month, you asked me why I seemed listless. I didn't give you an answer then, but I can tell you why now. Ten years ago, the Moon Empress' roots were injured during battle. As a result, she was only left with three years of her lifespan."

Cold Moon had been cooking soup with the intention of having Chu Ci drink it later.

But when she heard what Mystic Moon said, fury immediately filled her gaze.

It was as though all her blood had gathered in her pupils.

When Mystic Moon saw this, he hurriedly said, "Luckily, Young Lord found a way out for her, and she's fine now. She even gained a blessing and managed to increase her power."

The red in Cold Moon's eyes did not diminish at all. She picked up the ladle and thrust it into Mystic Moon's hand as she said, "Can you get to the point and mention the conclusion first next time!?"

Mystic Moon immediately recoiled and thought,?I did pause while I was speaking, but that's because her eyes went red. I didn't get a chance to get to the ending because I was worried about her!

The little white rabbit saw all of this. It lazily gnawed on its carrot and thought,?Given how Cold Moon feels about the Moon Empress, she won't forgive Mystic Moon for making her worry. This is definitely not over.

It so happened that the Moon Empress walked over at this moment.

Cold Moon pushed Mystic Moon aside and asked the Moon Empress, "Moon Empress, you…"

When the Moon Empress saw the expression on Cold Moon's face, she knew that she had learned about everything from Mystic Moon.

The Moon Empress never intended to hide this from Cold Moon.

She knew that Cold Moon would not want her to keep it a secret.

Mystic Moon knew, but Cold Moon had not been informed of it.

As such, the Moon Empress had intended to ask Cold Moon to admire the night scenery with her and tell her then.

The Moon Empress shook her head at the worried-faced Cold Moon and said, "I'm fine now. Cold Moon, I'll be at the imperial meeting for the next two days. Mystic Moon will help you with your breakthrough!"

Cold Moon asked with worry and shock, "Moon Empress, in order to breakthrough, spirit qi—"

Before Cold Moon could finish speaking, Mystic Moon cut in and said, "My powers have already advanced. I definitely needed more pure spirit qi than your feys need to breakthrough."

This revelation made Cold Moon start to ponder.

When she last sparred with Mystic Moon, he always easily dodged her jade staff.

Cold Moon immediately asked the Moon Empress with delight, "Moon Empress, has your Creation Master power improved again?"

The Moon Empress remained silent but did not deny it.

She felt that the pure spirit qi was also one of Lin Yuan's secret weapons, so the fewer people knew about it, the better it would be.

The Moon Empress started to personally prepare dinner while Cold Moon and Mystic Moon assisted her.

They watched as the Moon Empress started cooking the tendons of a Creation Breed fey.

Lin Yuan had been chatting with Chu Ci for some time.

He listened to her happily announce that she had been promoted to a B-rank spirit qi professional.

Lin Yuan almost did not believe his ears.

He was currently a B-rank spirit qi professional!

Chu Ci was two years younger than him but had already caught up to him.

Chu Ci went on to say, "Lin Yuan, Master has evolved my two Fantasy Breed feys to Diamond X. Like you, Master told me not to evolve the Burning Sunflower Twins' grade until they comprehended a Willpower Rune. However, I haven't comprehended a suitable Willpower Rune for it yet."

However, Chu Ci did not appear sad at all because there was something else that came out of her improvement that she wanted to show Lin Yuan. Upstodatee from n(0)/v𝒆/lbIn/.(co/m

With a wave of her hand, a white crystallized Willpower Rune shot out of her spiritual spatial zone and started circling her finger.

Lin Yuan did not expect Chu Ci to have comprehended another Willpower Rune already.

Lin Yuan immediately sensed the Willpower Rune and found that it was very similar to the one that she comprehended from iron and gave to the Obsidian Iron Wild Bull.

It was clear that it was suitable for defense-type feys.

When he checked on this Willpower Rune, he remembered the Pink Piercing Crystal Oyster that he had prepared for Chu Ci.

This Willpower Rune was very suitable for it. It was practically made for the Pink Piercing Crystal Oyster.

As of now, Chu Ci had comprehended three Willpower Runes.

This rate was staggering.

Lin Yuan always credited his strong sensing abilities to having souls from two worlds.

But now, it seemed that that was not the full story.

Judging from Chu Ci's comprehension of Willpower Runes, their parents' genes had to be remarkable!

His genes played a big role in his strong comprehension powers.

Lin Yuan did not take out the Pink Piercing Crystal Oyster immediately.

Instead, he said, "Summon the Obsidian Iron Wild Bull and Yellow Jadeite Golden Butterfly."

Chapter 1606: Don't Wag Your Tail, Little Iron Block!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

It could be said that Lin Yuan was the one who had molded the Obsidian Iron Wild Bull and Yellow Jadeite Golden Butterfly.

When the Obsidian Iron Wild Bull had only been the Sharp Rock Bull, it had been injured by the open alien insect dimensional rift.

At that moment, Yang Mingkai had not been able to do anything about the seriously injured Obsidian Iron Wild Bull. He almost ended up consuming it as beef.

It was Lin Yuan who had discovered the Obsidian Iron Wild Bull's ability Sacrifice and saved it. He also gave Chu Ci the chance to change her life.

Lin Yuan had only just realized his body was special at that time, and it would have been impossible for him to gather the money to buy a high-quality Bronze fey within a short span of time.

Lin Yuan had also traded for the Yellow Jadeite Golden Butterfly from Liu Jie when it was still a larva.

At that time, Liu Jie had been in the pits of despair because the Insect Queen had been about to die, and he was about to lose his chance to become a spirit qi professional.

He had put on a mask and hid his identity as he went up a mountain to collect spiritual resources.

He had not only been supporting himself but also many orphans. He had even educated them.

At that time, the Yellow Jadeite Golden Butterfly had been a small pink larva.

Later, it evolved into the Vajra Butterfly and eventually managed to use the pollen of the Golden Curtain Peony and pure spirit qi to mutate away from the path of becoming the Jadeite Butterfly.

This was proof that the metal-type Yellow Jadeite Golden Butterfly was even more suited for Chu Ci than the wood-type Jadeite Butterfly.

The Yellow Jadeite Golden Butterfly had even stronger defensive and combat powers than the Jadeite Butterfly. Yôur f𝒂vorite stories on 𝒏/o/(v)𝒆/lb𝒊n.c𝒐m

However, it was not perfect.

The Jadeite Butterfly had a certain level of supporting effect.

According to Chu Ci, the Yellow Jadeite Golden Butterfly had evolved to Diamond grade.

This meant that the Yellow Jadeite Golden Butterfly's bloodline had evolved.

However, there was still the question of whether the Yellow Jadeite Golden Butterfly would be able to maintain the mutation that the Golden Curtain Peony's pollen had brought it when it evolved into the Tourmaline Emperor Butterfly.

Under Cold Moon's guidance, Chu Ci started to understand how important being able to keep one's lips sealed was.

If she leaked information about her feys and happened to be faced with an opponent who could counter her feys, she might be defeated even if her opponent was objectively weaker than her.

If any outsider wanted to see Chu Ci's feys, she would never summon them.

However, she did not put up any guard when she was with Lin Yuan.

Although people on Star Web called her the Radiance Federation's youngest genius, she knew that all the glory she had came from Lin Yuan.

She would never forget how Lin Yuan supported her despite being so weak that he was prone to fainting spells.

When the two of them were fending for themselves and were so poor that they could only afford one bowl of porridge, Lin Yuan had given that bowl of porridge to her.

He had snuck off in the middle of the night to eat the Usneas.

The Usnea was not as soft or palatable as the Soldier Ration Radish.

The leaves of the Usnea would prick one's stomach and often leave the spirit qi professionals who ate them with painful stomachaches because they did not have strong stomachs like herbivorous feys did.

Hence, no matter what happened, Lin Yuan would be the most important person in Chu Ci's life.

With a wave of her hand, Chu Ci summoned her two feys.

Lin Yuan was immediately faced with a five-meter-long and two-meter-tall bull.

The bull's skin resembled the silver surface of a mirror. Its tough and sinewy muscles could be seen under its skin.

Amongst all the feys that Lin Yuan had seen, not even tiger-species feys were as magnificent as this bull-species fey.

Its one-meter-long tail swayed gently and created waves of noise.

At that moment, Chu Ci crossed her legs and gently patted the bull's face as she said, "Little Iron Block, I know you're happy to see Lin Yuan, but I've told you many times not to swing your tail! Don't learn from that hippopotamus! People might think you're farting!"

The Obsidian Iron Wild Bull mooed twice in reply, stopped moving its tail, and stared at Lin Yuan joyfully.

Lin Yuan's lips twitched when he heard the way Chu Ci addressed the Obsidian Iron Wild Bull.

How can this be considered a Little Iron Block? It's just a bull-shaped tank!

Since the Obsidian Iron Wild Bull had turned silver, it meant that its bloodline had evolved.

The Obsidian Iron Wild Bull's new skin was only the third-most shocking change that had happened to it.

There were also black clusters of gems embedded all over its body. The gems refracted rainbow light.

The color was similar to the Obsidian Iron Wild Bull's original color and appeared like colorful patches.

It was likely that the Obsidian Iron Wild Bull stored the energy from its original bloodline within the black gem clusters.

The biggest change had to be the Obsidian Iron Wild Bull's horns.

The Obsidian Iron Wild Bull's horns used to be made of elements and were not connected to its head.

However, the black horns flashed on its head intermittently. But its shapes changed each time.

In a battle, the Obsidian Iron Wild Bull could choose the best shape according to the fey that it was facing off against.

Although it charged with brute force, it could change the shape of its horns to inflict the most damage on its enemy.

If any other cow-species fey charged against the Obsidian Iron Wild Bull thinking that it was hornless, it would end up with a hole in its body from the impact.

The Obsidian Iron Wild Bull could protrude its horns from next to its eyes to pierce through the eyes and cleanly into the skull of the opponent cow-species fey.

The Obsidian Iron Wild Bull's horns were enough for it to be deemed a killing machine in the form of a defense-type fey.

Now, Lin Yuan realized that the Obsidian Iron Wild Bull's elemental horns remained mostly silver. Only a small part of it was black.

A few of the horns were covered with a layer of black on silver or a layer of silver on black.

Evidently, the evolved Obsidian Iron Wild Bull could actively make use of the power in its bloodline.

Lin Yuan used True Data to check on the Obsidian Iron Wild Bull.

Chapter 1607: Mirror Silver Obsidian Bull

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

[Fey Name: Mirror Silver Obsidian Bull

[Fey Species: Horned species/Bull species

[Fey Grade: Diamond grade (5/10)

[Fey Type: Metal

[Fey Quality: Fantasy III

Abilities:

[Piercing Horn: Hold the horns in position and charge at a target without holding back.

[Sacrifice: When the contractor is injured, automatically split the damage with the contractor. If the contractor is injured, it will feed the contractor with its vitality.

[Pain Buffer: When damaged by elemental energy, form a shield of elemental energy on the surface of the body that will slow the elemental energy damage for a period of time. Further damage will only be incurred after the shield breaks.

[Mirror Surface Skin: Change the body's skin into a mirror-like texture. When attacked by elements, the mirror skin will be able to reflect elemental energy and send a portion of the elemental attack back at the opponent.

[Sun's Angry Horn: Draw out energy from metal and combine it with sunlight. The sun energy will activate the energy within the metal and break through physical entities. When used against an enemy, the metal energy will spread throughout the target and condense within the target.

[Taste of Pain: Each time it is used against a target, the pain experienced will multiply. The pain will train one's willpower to temporarily increase one's spiritual energy.

Exclusive Skill:

[Pain Absorption: When receiving damage, absorb a portion of the damage and turn it into vitality.

[Annihilation Gaze: Domineering battle consciousness and war fervor drive its instinctive footsteps. The Mirror Silver Obsidian Bull instantly transforms all the damage taken in a battle into a mental impact on the opponent.

Lin Yuan noticed that the Obsidian Iron Will Bull's name had changed to the Mirror Silver Obsidian Bull.

Its fey-type was still metal-type, but its fey grade had changed to Diamond V/Fantasy III.

With this power at her age, Chu Ci had surpassed all who came before her.

Besides truly top experts like Zong Ze and An He, there was no other young expert whose fey's power fell below that of Chu Ci.

If Lin Yuan wanted to, he could easily find resources to evolve the Mirror Silver Obsidian Bull to Diamond X/Fantasy V.

However, even if the Mirror Silver Obsidian Bull did evolve to Diamond X/Fantasy V, Chu Ci still could not be compared with the likes of Zong Ze and An He.

Firstly, she did not have a fey with the Barren bloodline. Secondly, she was too young to form a marrow contract with a sacred source lifeform. Forming a marrow contract with a sacred source lifeform too young could harm one's soul.

The soul was the most important part of a person.

No one who truly had her best interests would be willing to let her take on such a risk.

Its abilities Piercing Horn, Sacrifice, and Pain Buffer had not changed much.

This was to be expected because it was in a different situation from Chimey and Genius.

Previously, Chimey and Genius were not even feys.

They managed to evolve continuously by tapping into their bloodlines' potential.

The Mirror Silver Obsidian Bull's bloodline had been set from the beginning.

It managed to evolve to this point thanks to the help of Lin Yuan's pure spirit qi.

Lin Yuan wanted to help Chu Ci to evolve her feys using pure spirit qi. The improvement of one's bloodline would generate more opportunities for evolution.

However, Cold Moon had already evolved Chu Ci's feys.

Chu Ci's feys would still be able to achieve the same outcome when they were nourished by spirit qi in the future.

Lin Yuan would evolve the Mirror Silver Obsidian Bull and try to trigger an evolution of its bloodline after Chu Ci became an A-rank spirit qi professional.

All of the Mirror Silver Obsidian Bull's Gold abilities emerged while Chu Ci was out training, and Lin Yuan had never seen them before.

It was likely that Mirror Surface Skin emerged because Cold Moon had used Mirror Silver on the Obsidian Iron Wild Bull, which led to the transformation of its bloodline and obtaining this ability.

Mirror Surface Skin perfectly complemented Pain Buffer and increased Pain Buffer's sustainability. It also greatly increased the Mirror Silver Obsidian Bull's resistance against elements.

When used alongside Pain Absorption, the Mirror Silver Obsidian Bull's overall power would increase and recover at the same time. This would undoubtedly make the Mirror Silver Obsidian Bull a greater force to be reckoned with during battle.

At the same time, the Mirror Silver Obsidian Bull could also reflect elemental damage back at its opponents.

It could be said that even without Explosive Shield Counterattack, the Mirror Silver Obsidian Bull could still reflect damage and become a true gasoline tank.

If anyone lit a flame, it would stay in its place and burn alongside everything.

The Mirror Silver Obsidian Bull was already very resistant to physical entities. Now that its elemental resistance was also increased, it would be difficult for feys of the same grade to cause it pain.

Sun's Angry Horn allowed the Mirror Silver Obsidian Bull to gain another combat attack. It was extremely powerful and could not only damage and support but also control.

The black gem clusters on the Mirror Silver Obsidian Bull could activate the metal energy within its body. By condensing the metal energy into its horns, it could charge at enemies and break through its enemies' defenses.

It would be able to support any fey that mainly caused physical damage.

Through condensing the metal energy in its body, the Mirror Silver Obsidian Bull could condense a seven to eight-meter-long metal horn that could pierce through its target, leaving a deep hole in its wake.

After the horn pierced through its target, it would fuse with the target's body like mercury.

When the metal energy condensed inside a target's body, it would essentially be like burying a sword within a target.

Such an attack could cause unimaginable damage to a target. Yôur f𝒂vorite stories on 𝒏/o/(v)𝒆/lb𝒊n.c𝒐m

Sun's Angry Horn sealed the Mirror Silver Obsidian Bull's role as Chu Ci's main combat fey.

Taste of Pain seemed ordinary or even useless. It was basically torture to feel multiplied pain when being attacked.

It would be considered a very negative ability to most feys because pain was a type of spiritual damage.

But to the Mirror Silver Obsidian Bull, it was a godsend.

Chapter 1608: Gold Seal Emperor Butterfly

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The Mirror Silver Obsidian Bull could temporarily rely on such pain to increase its spiritual energy.

Moreover, Annihilation Gaze would enable the Mirror Silver Obsidian Bull to use all the damage it received, including the multiplied pain, and reflect it back at its opponent as spiritual damage.

This ability would strengthen the Mirror Silver Obsidian Bull's accumulation of pain and shorten the time needed to accumulate the pain.

The Mirror Silver Obsidian Bull would be able to absorb high amounts of pain and use Annihilation Gaze.

Now, the Mirror Silver Obsidian Bull was almost too well-rounded!

At that moment, Chu Ci said, "Lin Yuan, amongst my two feys, Little Iron Block isn't the one with the bigger change. Little Gold Block's changes are even more impressive! With Little Gold Block, my little mine will be even more powerful during battle! Little Iron Block might seem boorish, but it can't last long during battle. But with Little Gold Block, Little Iron Block will be able to last much longer now!"

Lin Yuan's gaze moved away from the Mirror Silver Obsidian Bull and onto the Yellow Jadeite Golden Butterfly.

The Yellow Jadeite Golden Butterfly's appearance had changed completely.

The most significant change was the color of its body.

Previously, the Yellow Jadeite Golden Butterfly had been translucent. It looked like flowing gold and had dark gold peony patterns on its wings that made it look like a blooming peony when it was flying.

Now, the Yellow Jadeite Golden Butterfly was almost fully transparent. It only glowed mesmerizing gold under the sunlight. When it flapped its wings and dispersed scale powder, patterns of peony petals glittered under sunlight.

The crossing peony patterns enabled the shining Yellow Jadeite Golden Butterfly to shoot out rainbow beams of light. It resembled tourmaline.

At the same time, the tentacles on the Yellow Jadeite Golden Butterfly's head formed a crown.

When he saw this, Lin Yuan became certain that the Yellow Jadeite Golden Butterfly had evolved into the Tourmaline Emperor Butterfly.

It looked like this because it retained its original mutation.

Lin Yuan immediately used True Data to check on the Yellow Jadeite Golden Butterfly.

[Fey Name: Gold Seal Emperor Butterfly

[Fey Species: Nymphalidae/Heliconius

[Fey Grade: Diamond (1/10)

[Fey Type: Metal

[Fey Quality: Fantasy III

Abilities:

[Wing Block: Congeal hard metal on its wings for blocking. While blocking, there will be a certain level of rebounding attacks.

[Golden Seal Shield: Rapidly produce a strong mobile shield in front of a target that will move in accordance with its movements.

[Mistified Butterfly Dust: When flapping its wings and dispersing dust, the butterfly dust can protect a target by providing it with natural elemental separation effects. It can also replenish the metal energy of metal-type feys.

[Butterfly Fantasy: Apply itself to a target of the same type. If the target is friendly, metal energy can be transferred into it to give the target the abilities of flight and temporary shielding. If the target is unfriendly, the metal energy in the target will be locked, and the target will become susceptible to injuries.

[Butterfly Wings Sacrifice: By sacrificing parts of the butterfly wings, the shielding effects will be temporarily improved. The longer the effects, the more parts of the wings will be sacrificed.

[Tourmaline Revival Shield: Form a sturdy shield in front of a target. As the shield sustains more and more attacks, its shielding abilities will weaken. When the lifeform that the shield is protecting starts to lose its lifeforce, the shield will absorb the lifeforce and be strengthened by it.

Exclusive Skill:

[Counterattack Tremor: When attacked, it will rebound a portion of the damage from physical attacks or elemental attacks in the form of an energy tremor.

[Explosive Shield Counterattack: Explode the target's shield while combining all the attacking power that the shield can handle into launching a deadly blow.

Lin Yuan noticed that the Yellow Jadeite Golden Butterfly's name had changed to the Gold Sea Emperor Butterfly.

The Gold Seal Emperor Butterfly had one of the most elite butterfly-species bloodlines.

If it could advance another step forward, its bloodline would become even more elite than that of the Nirvana Blaze Butterfly and Kill Food Sky Butterfly.

Its fey type was still metal, but its grade had changed to Diamond I/Fantasy III. Gett your 𝒇avorite 𝒏ovels at no/v/e/lb𝒊

Wing Block and Golden Seal Shield have not changed.

When Mistified Butterfly Dust was used, the Gold Seal Emperor Butterfly's golden rain of butterfly dust that was produced when it flapped its wings would be able to protect a group as well as support them.

Defense was useful to any type of fey.

By being able to separate from elements, the Gold Seal Emperor Butterfly would be able to reduce its opponents' fey's reliance on elements during battle.

It also had a similar effect on friendly parties. But its friendly parties would not only be protected by the ability, but Chu Ci could also manipulate its range so that it would help other gold-type feys.

The Mirror Silver Obsidian Bull was a metal-type fey.

When Mistified Butterfly Dust was used on it, its defense would be improved, and it would also essentially gain a moving battery.

It was no wonder that Chu Ci said that the Gold Seal Emperor Butterfly would be able to help the Mirror Silver Obsidian Bull last longer.

Butterfly Fantasy further evidenced this claim.

When the Gold Seal Emperor Butterfly applied itself to the Mirror Silver Obsidian Bull, the Gold Seal Emperor Butterfly could rapidly transfer the metal energy in its body to the Mirror Silver Obsidian Bull.

Mistified Butterfly Powder was a battery that took a long time for its effects to be seen.

But the Gold Seal Emperor Butterfly could use Butterfly Fantasy to transfer its abilities to the Mirror Silver Obsidian Bull and give it the ability to fly as well as temporary shielding.

Flying would improve the Mirror Silver Obsidian Bull's agility as well as speed.

The Mirror Silver Obsidian Bull would be able to take on flying targets as well.

Now, besides being unable to go underwater, there was no environment where the Mirror Silver Obsidian Bull would be at a disadvantage.

Besides being able to apply itself to friendly targets, Butterfly Fantasy also allowed the Gold Seal Emperor Butterfly to apply itself onto enemy metal-type feys and lock the metal energy within their bodies while making them more susceptible to damage.

Although this controlling ability had its limits, it could be coupled together with the Gold Seal Emperor Butterfly's other effects to turn Butterfly Fantasy into an impressive ability that fit perfectly with the Mirror Silver Obsidian Bull.

Chapter 1609: If You're Lost, I'll Take You Home!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

In order for a spirit qi professional to become strong, his feys' abilities needed to be complementary. This was very important enough to produce compounded effects.

Tourmaline Revival Shield was a very strong individual defensive ability.

After applying a shield onto a target and the target's lifeforce starts to diminish, the lost lifeforce would reinforce the shield.

It would be able to help a fey to take on more damage.

This was the strongest individual defensive ability that Lin Yuan had ever encountered.

!

Butterfly Wings Sacrifice would sacrifice a portion of the butterfly wings to toughen the shield. This was directly correlated to the shield's defensive ability.

Amongst all of Chu Ci's feys, the Gold Seal Emperor Butterfly was the one that Lin Yuan was most satisfied with.

The Gold Seal Emperor Butterfly seemed more like a girl!

Previously, when the Mirror Silver Obsidian Bull was still the Obsidian Iron Wild Bull, Chu Ci had been called Princess Iron Bull because of her performance during the Allstar Match's challenger fight.

Although the Mirror Silver Obsidian Bull was much more attractive than the Obsidian Iron Wild Bull, Chu Ci's title would only be changed to Princess Silver Bull. It did not sound much better than Princess Iron Bull. It could even lead to some inappropriate thoughts.

The Gold Seal Emperor Butterfly would allow Chu Ci's combat style to not only be impulsive but also work seamlessly together. Gett your 𝒇avorite 𝒏ovels at no/v/e/lb𝒊

All of the Gold Seal Emperor Butterfly's shields and the increasing toughness would strengthen the effects of Counterattack Tremor and Explosive Shield Counterattack.

As Chu Ci looked at him with shining eyes of anticipation, Lin Yuan did not hold back the praise.

"Chu Ci, you're amazing! With your current power, you'll be able to make it to the top 20 ranks of the Radiance Hundred Sequence if you participate in the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection."

From the way that Chu Ci's power increased to such an extent in such a short period, Lin Yuan could only imagine how difficult her training had been.

Now, she really needed to gain validation through praise.

One could only be satisfied with the effort put in and gain the motivation to work even harder to achieve one's goals when one felt validated.

Moreover, Lin Yuan's praise was not a lie.

Chu Ci pouted and said with disappointment, "Teacher won't let me participate in this year's Radiance Hundred Sequence selection! Otherwise, I would have been able to fight side by side with you!"

Lin Yuan's mood immediately improved, and he felt immensely grateful to Cold Moon.

If Chu Ci had registered to take part in the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection, there was no way she would be eliminated, given her current power.

If Lin Yuan was faced with her during the selection, he would immediately do all he could to eliminate her.

As her older brother, he could put himself at any risk but would never allow the 16-year-old Chu Ci to be in any danger.

She was still underage. Since their parents were gone, he needed to ensure her safety as her older brother!

Once Chu Ci came of age, she would be able to participate in the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection or even the Radiance Envoy selection.

She would then be free to choose if she wanted to sacrifice herself for the sake of the Radiance Federation.

If she decided to do so, Lin Yuan would smile with pride before going off to take revenge.

But as of now, he would never allow her to be in such danger. He would protect her no matter what.

Since Cold Moon had stopped Chu Ci, there was nothing more for Lin Yuan to say to Chu Ci.

He took out the Pink Piercing Crystal Oyster he had prepared for her.

Now that the Gold Seal Emperor Butterfly was so impressive, his plan to change his sister was well underway.

When Lin Yuan took out the Pink Piercing Crystal Oyster, Chu Ci let out a squeal.

She was not a Creation Master and could not tell what the Pink Piercing Crystal Oyster's abilities and exclusive skills were.

However, the Pink Piercing Crystal Oyster's appearance was pleasing to everyone.

Lin Yuan had not picked the Pink Piercing Crystal Oyster for Chu Ci just for its exclusive ability Tool Transformation but also because of its outstanding abilities.

Iron Thorn Cross would be able to defend as well as shoot out spikes for defense. When the spikes hit a friendly party, their bloodthirst would rise.

This suited the Mirror Silver Obsidian Bull well, as it would make it even wilder.

When the spikes hit an enemy, they would become enamored. This would lower their motivation for battle.

Bubble Crystal Shield could be used on a group and increase their defenses.

Multiple layers could be applied on a target.

Although the defensive effects were not strong, it could be used in conjunction with the Gold Seal Emperor Butterfly's Explosive Shield Counterattack and increase the damage caused by the explosion of the shield.

Lin Yuan said to Chu Ci, "This is the new fey I prepared for you. It just so happens to be very compatible with the new Willpower Rune you comprehended. The Pink Piercing Crystal Oyster has reached Bronze X/Legend. You can form a contract with it now."

Chu Ci gave Lin Yuan a big hug before she used her spiritual energy to form a contract with the Pink Piercing Crystal Oyster.

Once the contraction was done, she flipped over her hand, and a pink sword appeared in her hand.

She flicked the sword and sent a shower of sparks flying through the air.

Chu Ci could use the sword to utilize the Pink Piercing Crystal Oyster's abilities.

The Pink Piercing Crystal Oyster's Tool Transformation form was also extremely sharp and strong. When it was swung, the strength of its abilities would match its grade.

Chu Ci did not immediately combine her Willpower Rune with the Pink Piercing Crystal Oyster. Instead, she wanted to familiarize herself with using the Pink Piercing Crystal Oyster's abilities first before evolving it to Fantasy Breed.

Taking it step by step was the most reliable way to improve one's battle skills.

Lin Yuan picked up Chu Ci's hand just like he did when they were children and led her out of the breeding room to have dinner with the Moon Empress, Cold Moon, and Mystic Moon at the inner palace.

Meanwhile…

A plain-looking girl with glasses and dressed in a gray robe clutched a black-bound tome tightly.

Her head was cocked as she was deep in thought.

A moment later, the patterns of scars appeared in her eyes.

The images disappeared as quickly as they appeared.

A Spirit Guard spotted the girl and walked over to ask, "You can't play around here. Where are your parents? If you're lost, I'll take you home!"

The Spirit Guard squatted down to wait for the girl's reply.

At that moment, a bizarre smile appeared on the girl's face.

Chapter 1610: Lend Me Your Body!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Ever since the incident at Whale Ocean Commerce and Night Leaning Moon found out about it from Lin Yuan, she immediately instructed the Spirit Guards to lock down Whale Ocean Commerce's residence.

When the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection ended, she would launch a thorough investigation and wipe out Whale Ocean Commerce's old site.

The Spirit Guards who were stationed here were all the cream of the crop.

Although they had not reached king-class, all of them had a Platinum fey at least.

There were also many people who had come to Whale Ocean Commerce's residence looking for information.

!

Whale Ocean Commerce was a top faction in the Radiance Federation, and they worked with many other veteran factions, top factions, and even rising factions.

All the members of these factions who had come to investigate were turned away by the Spirit Guards.

However, this was the first time a young girl had appeared in the area by herself.

Hence, the Spirit Guard on roster first assumed that the little girl was lost and was not on his guard against her.

But when he saw the bizarre smile on the girl's face, his expression immediately changed, and he knew that he had been careless.

This smile had extremely dark undertones. It carried a complete disregard for life and cavalier contempt.

She was definitely not an innocent young girl.

But before the Spirit Guard could put distance between them, the little girl reached out and grabbed hold of his belt.

Her hand seemed to have endless strength.

No matter how hard the Spirit Guard pulled away, he could not get free of her hand.

Just as the Spirit Guard was about to call out to his companions, he suddenly felt something enter his body and start moving around within him.

This thing choked him and froze every joint and blood vessel in his body.

The young girl said in her innocent voice, "Big Brother, you're so nice! Why don't you lend me your body?"

This shocking statement took the Spirit Guard by such surprise that he did not even have time to blink before he felt something pry open his brain, and he lost consciousness.

The people who saw this only saw a sweet man squatting on the ground, trying to help a young girl. It made for a heartwarming picture.

At this moment, the man squatting on the ground suddenly jumped to his feet and grabbed the young girl's black-bound tome and gray robe.

In an instant, the girl disappeared, and it was as though she had never existed.

The Spirit Guard returned to his original station, and he looked as though he had found out something.

He continued patrolling his route and greeted the several colleagues he encountered. Everything went on as it usually did.

At this point, Second Page Revival had fully assumed the Spirit Guard's identity and infiltrated the Radiance Federation.

This was a complete deviation from Second Page Revival's original plan.

Second Page Revival wanted to investigate Whale Ocean Commerce, but this was not the time! RE𝒂ad updated st𝒐ries at n/𝒐

According to the plan, she should have waited until the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection began.

All the Radiance Federation's royalty's attention was fixed on the Freedom Federation envoy group, and Second Page Revival would be able to move more freely during her investigation.

She should be working together with Sixth Page Lashing and activating the Black Mass Cup.

But to Second Page Revival's frustration, Sixth Page Lashing was missing!

He had not turned up at their agreed-upon meeting place.

If Second Page Revival activated her sacred source lifeform, the Death Declaration Angel, she would be able to sense Sixth Page Lashing's position.

However, she would not dare to do so in the Royal Capital because the Radiance Federation's royalty would instantly pick up on her.

Moreover, after Second Page Revival came to the Radiance Federation and realized that Sixth Page Lashing could not be found, she started to secretly consume the Radiance Federation's spirit qi professionals.

Chapter 1611: Don't Be Shocked No Matter What You See!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Second Page Revival was certain that Di Wanmi was dead from this small section of root.

Second Page Revival had not expected the Radiance Federation to be so powerful that they actually managed to kill a Class 5 Creation Master.

Second Page Revival instinctively knew that the Gardener Konjac's ramet and seeds had fallen into the hands of the Radiance Federation's royalty.

If this was so, the soft way would no longer do.

In order to retrieve the Gardener Konjac's ramet and seeds, they would have to grab hold of the Radiance Federation's life vessel so that they had no choice but to give up the Gardener Konjac's ramet and seeds.

A moment later, a plain-looking girl dressed in a gray robe and carrying a black-bound tome walked off in the direction of the Freedom Federation envoy group's accommodations.

At that moment, a righteous-looking man was voraciously digging into a candied pork chop, roasted ham, and fish in the Spirit Food Pavilion while gulping down the Spirit Food Pavilion's signature beer.

Many people were staring at the man, but it was hard to be annoyed by his face. They instinctively associated him with kindness. Finndd the new𝒆st 𝒏ovels on n/𝒐

At that moment, a middle-aged woman holding a pearl-like precious instrument while playing with a chain of jade in her hand appeared in front of the man's table.

She shot him a sultry look and said, "I'm sure you won't mind if I take a seat and have a few drinks with you!"

The woman took out an elemental pearl and tossed it into the man's beer mug.

The men around them all became jealous.

Feng Rou was a Class 2 Creation Master.

After Feng Lun died, Feng Rou inherited an immense inheritance.

She was a Class 2 Creation Master and already had an income of her own.

She had spent a significant amount of money in the past few years to become desirable to the opposite gender.

It seemed that this righteous-faced man was Feng Rou's next target.

Once Feng Rou set her sights on someone, she would not force them but become extremely clingy.

If anyone ended up following her home, she would surely be seen on the prowl again at the Spirit Food Pavilion less than a week later.

There was no helping it. She could do anything she wanted with her money!

Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to sustain such a luxurious lifestyle as a Class 2 Creation Master.

She always bought the trendiest clothes and added her own precious gems to them as accessories. To her, the more there were, the merrier.

With such an aura of opulence, it was difficult for the spirit qi professionals who spent all their days trying to increase the power of their feys to tear their eyes away from her. Who did not like a rich woman?

Moreover, she was a rich woman who was willing to splurge on her men.

They were all jealous that the first thing she offered was already an elemental pearl.

The man opposite Feng Rou had such a righteous expression that everyone assumed that he was going to turn her down.

Yet, he said, "Ma'am, I fell deeply in love with you the moment I laid eyes on you. You're like an epiphyllum blooming at night."

The crowd watched as the man raised his glass and poured the contents out into his hand until the elemental pearl fell out.

He pocketed the elemental pearl.

This action that did not match his face could only be described as obscene.

With his righteous features, it would be difficult for people to dislike him even if he did such a thing.

Feng Rou did not expect her hunt to be over so soon.

Given his appearance, she expected at least two weeks' worth of effort.

She stood up and said, "Why don't we order a dish and take it home to eat?"

The man picked up her ring-covered hand and said, "Beautiful lady, let me feed you when we get back."

As Feng Rou walked out of the Spirit Food Pavilion next to the man, she completely missed the look of amusement in his gaze.

His gaze was that of a butcher, and Feng Rou looked like a helpless rabbit to him.

As he looked at the night sky, a strange smile appeared on his face.

When he flipped over his palm, a black crystal cup that shone with blurry gray fog appeared in his hand.

He spun his finger, and the black crystal cup also started to spin.

The gray fog around the cup did not dissipate and had an ominous aura.

The man sighed to himself.

It looks like I'll have a place to go for the next few days! Second Page Revival, I want to see just what about First Page Crimson makes him worthy of you addressing him as 'Lord'.

As one of the Eight Pages of Tower Canon, shouldn't I know all the secrets about Tower Canon? Otherwise, what's the point of me being the Sixth Page?

For the next step of my plan, the Radiance Federation is going to dig out all of First Page Crimson's secrets for me. If First Page Crimson doesn't appear, you're dead Second Page Revival!

Hehe, I wonder if someone new will take your place as Second Page after your death?

…

Lin Yuan did not stay in the Radiant Moon Palace for long after dinner.

Chu Ci had wanted to return to the mansion with Lin Yuan but was held back by Cold Moon.

The Radiance Hundred Sequence selection was about to begin, and Cold Moon did not want Chu Ci to distract Lin Yuan.

On the way back to the Return from Faraway Mansion, Blood New Moon climbed out from Lin Yuan's hair, leaped onto his ear, and whispered, "Lin Yuan, I spoke with the Moon Empress. During your fight against the Freedom Federation envoy group, I will remain hidden in your hair like I have been doing, But remember that I will not step in if nothing out of the ordinary happens during the fight, even if you end up losing."

Lin Yuan was silent for a moment before he asked, "Uncle Blood, do you think that the Freedom Federation envoy group will try something?"

Blood New Moon shook his head and replied, "I will not need to step in if it's only the techniques of young experts. Tower Canon hasn't shown itself yet. The Moon Empress guessed that Tower Canon will collude with the Freedom Federation envoy group."

Lin Yuan was slightly stunned.

According to Blood New Moon, it was the Moon Empress' idea to have him hide in Lin Yuan's hair during the fight.

Although Blood New Moon could be certain that he would not step in during a regular battle, it was likely that the Freedom Federation envoy group would criticize them if they found out about this.

They could even use the matter to incite a witch hunt against Lin Yuan.

Evidently, the Moon Empress was worried about Lin Yuan's safety.

For some unknown reason, Lin Yuan had had an ominous feeling for some time.

At that moment, delight abruptly spread across Lin Yuan's face as he sensed that the Floating Island Whale's shell was starting to crack.

Lin Yuan said to Blood New Moon, "Uncle Blood, accompany me to the outskirts of the Royal Capital. No matter what you see, don't be surprised."

Chapter 1612: Break Out of the Shell!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Blood New Moon could not help but chuckle when he heard what Lin Yuan said.

There were very few things in this world that could shock him!

The only times he was shocked were when Lin Yuan said that he could gather Jade Sundial's soul and awaken the memories within the pieces and when Blood Love said that her sacred source lifeform could help to recreate Jade Sundial's body.

This was because both the revival of a soul or body went beyond Blood New Moon's knowledge.

Not even Purple Love, who had power beyond Eternal, had this kind of ability.

If she did, she would have done whatever it took to revive Jade Sundial.

Blood New Moon had seen Blood Love's sacred source lifeform and realized that it was not the Ten Thousand Medicine Hot Spring that could revive Jade Sundial's body but the vitality that could trigger genetic models that Lin Yuan released.

During the time that this thought passed through Blood New Moon's mind, he was brought by Lin Yuan to the outskirts of the Royal Capital using the Ethereal Jellyfish's Node Teleportation.

This was the place where Endless Summer had evolved to Creation Breed and what used to be a desolate wasteland was now a thriving forest.

Lin Yuan lifted his hand and summoned the Floating Island Whale that had absorbed its fill of water- and wind-elemental energy and spirit qi.

From the moment that the egg cracked, the Floating Island Whale fetus stopped absorbing water- and wind-elemental energy and the spirit qi.

All it needed to do now was struggle slightly, and it would be able to hatch out of the shell.

A second was all Blood New Moon needed to recognize that this was the Island Whale and that it was in the process of hatching.

The Heavenly Family Cottage was well aware that spirit qi professionals were searching the seas for the Island Whale fetuses and hatching them.

Was the surprise that Lin Yuan was referring to just the Island Whale? He underestimated Blood New Moon!

But after observing the Island Whale fetus for a while more, Blood New Moon realized that the Island Whale fetus contained not only water-elemental energy but also wind-elemental energy.

But how could wind-elemental energy appear within the Island Whale fetus?

The Island Whale fetus was not blue but light green.

Blood New Moon's expression turned solemn, and he was filled with surprise.

He was now certain that the Island Whale in Lin Yuan's hand had mutated.

At that moment, a whale cry filled the area and the sound of cracking echoed.

It was as though there was something inside the egg that was trying to break out of it.

Lin Yuan could sense the Floating Island Whale inside the egg calling him through its bloodline.

After strengthening their bloodline link numerous times, Lin Yuan and the Floating Island Whale were practically family.

Lin Yuan encouraged the Floating Island Whale and said, "Go slowly. There's no need to rush! Get used to the power bit by bit. You don't have to force it. Just use your body to break the shell, and you'll be able to get out!"

Although Lin Yuan was not a traditional Creation Master, he had learned from Genius' knowledge that breaking out of the shell was the most important part of the Island Whale's growth.

If someone helped the Island Whale break out of its shell, it would not hurt the Island Whale, but the lifeform that touched the shell would drain away the energy within the shell.

The shell was the most important source of nutrients for a newly-hatched Island Whale and could help it to quickly evolve.

If the Floating Island Whale could evolve to Diamond X/Legend, it would be able to easily comprehend its own Willpower Rune from nature and evolve to Myth Breed.

It did not need to slowly comprehend Willpower Runes like other feys.

This was likely the way that nature showed its love for the Island Whale.

A newly-hatched Island Whale was not large. It was only around two to three meters long. It would be able to fit perfectly back into its shell.

Its size would only start to grow rapidly when it reached Fantasy Breed. It would quickly be able to reach a length of 1,000 meters.

This applied to the Floating Island Whale.

Under normal circumstances, the Island Whale would eat its shell after it hatched and could evolve from Normal to Silver grade.

It took a lot to hatch the Island Whale, and it was also a large undertaking to nurture it.

However, Lin Yuan was not worried about having to nurture it.

The Spirit Lock spatial zone was currently 960 square meters.

This was enough space for the Floating Island Whale until it reached Fantasy Breed, and there was practically an endless supply of pure spirit qi in the Spirit Lock spatial zone.

After all, he could have as many energy ores as he wanted.

Given the concentration of the spirit qi in the Spirit Lock spatial zone, the rate at which the Celestine Elemental Shellfish and Aquamarine Elemental Shellfish produced elemental pearls would be able to match the rate at which the Mother of Bloodbath ate.

Additionally, Yin Lin was going to give him another 30 young Elemental Shellfish.

Once the Floating Island Whale hatched, Lin Yuan was confident that he would be able to evolve the Floating Island Whale to Diamond X/Legend and comprehend a Willpower Rune to evolve to Myth Breed within three months.

At that time, the true Sky City could be built.

Another whale cry filled the area and attracted many feys.

Blood New Moon immediately used his aura to set up a shield as he continued to observe what kind of Island Whale this mutated fetus would hatch into.

He was also keeping watch on any enemies that could appear.

The Radiance Federation was currently very messy, and many factions were pulling strings from the shadows.

The Freedom Federation and Azure Federation had gathered in the Radiance Federation. A fight between the three federations was about to break out.

There was no way that the other factions like the Spirit Mother Federation, Sand Island Continent, Violent Wind Federation, Ancient Abyss Federation, and Extreme Ice Federation that had Class 5 Creation Masters would be able to ignore the situation in the Radiance Federation.

At that moment, more whale cries sounded out from inside the shell.

Every time the Floating Island Whale struggled, more cracks would appear on the shell.

Suddenly, there was a shattering noise, and pieces of the shell fell away and landed on the ground. The pieces shone with a faint light green light.

It was as though the Floating Island Whale could see the light at the end of the tunnel and was doing all it could to dash toward the light.

Finally, after another strong push, the Floating Island Whale managed to emerge from its egg.

According to the nature of the Island Whale, it should consume its shell the moment it hatched. VIssịT n0(v)eL/b(i)(n).𝘤𝑜𝓂 for the best novel reading experience

But instead, the Floating Island Whale hugged Lin Yuan and started wagging its tail at him.

Chapter 1613: Giant Whale's Body and Pilot Whale Master

It was as though it was asking Lin Yuan to get on its back so it could take him out for a ride.

Blood New Moon's eyes widened to such an extent that they almost fell out of their sockets.

W-What's going on? Since when are Island Whales able to fly!?

Blood New Moon finally knew why there was wind-elemental energy inside the shell.

The wind-elemental energy allowed the Island Whale that should belong in the sea to become a creature of the sky.

The Island Whale that was confined to the sea had a completely different connotation from the one that could exist in both the water and sky.

The newly-hatched Island Whale should not have such high intelligence.

Intelligence would dictate a fey's thoughts and enable the fey to know what to do to evolve itself.

A high intelligence proved that the Island Whale had endless evolutionary possibilities. There was even a chance that it could become a Heavenly Family Fey.

Lin Yuan reached out and touched the Floating Island Whale's head.

He realized that the feelers on the Floating Island Whale's head felt different from flesh and almost like jade.

In Lin Yuan's previous life, the blue whale would be the closest thing to the Floating Island Whale.

However, the Floating Island Whale's body was not as streamlined as the blue whale. The Floating Island Whale's body was very broad and not swollen at all.

Due to its mutation, the Floating Island Whale had a wingspan three times larger than the regular Island Whale, and it was much larger than the Floating Island Whale's own body.

Lin Yuan said softly to the Floating Island Whale that was still acting affectionately toward him, "Do you still remember the name I gave you before you hatched? I called you Universe. After you eat your shell, I'll take you to the place where you'll be able to grow quickly."

Universe reached out its find and hugged Lin Yuan for a moment before elegantly raising its body, opening its mouth, and chomping down on the shell.

During this entire process, Lin Yuan could feel Universe's aura rising continuously.

Suddenly, three options appeared.

This proved that Universe had reached Elite X/Epic after eating the shell and was evolving toward Bronze grade.

Lin Yuan started to look into the three exclusive skills and was extremely solemn.

Universe was a fey and also had its own abilities and exclusive skills.

Different exclusive skills would result in different development results for Universe.

This was the reason not every Island Whale had the same quality.

Although they were all mature Island Whales, some Island Whales were given the rank of S-rank while others were only B-rank.

They differed in their abilities and exclusive skills. Evidently, the Island Whale's abilities and exclusive skills were vital to it.

Out of the three exclusive skills, the first one was.

[Giant Whale's Body: By absorbing more energy, its body will grow past its limits and become even more gargantuan.

This was the ability that allowed an Island Whale to be ranked S-rank.

Although it would take up more energy and resources, the Island Whale that had this ability would be able to become 1/3 larger than its original size.

The effects would not be visible if it was used on an ant.

If a wingspan of over 100 meters increased by one-third, its wingspan would increase by just over 30 meters.

However, a mature Island Whale could easily reach a length of 30,000 to 50,000 meters.

An Island Whale nurtured by someone would be larger than a wild Island Whale.

If a 90,000-meter-long Island Whale used Giant Whale's Body, its body would grow by 30,000 meters. At the same time, its width would also increase by one-third.

The Island Whale's original purpose was to deliver goods.

The Island Whale that had multiplied in size could be utilized as two Island Whales.

Moreover, the larger the Island Whale, the heavier it would be.

The Island Whale's main method of attack was using its body to slam against targets.

The larger its size, the stronger its combat and defense would be.

The larger it was, the more stored fats it would have.

The Island Whale's fats enabled it to travel long distances without eating. The more fat it had stored up, the further and longer it would be able to travel.

This was the reason the Island Whale with Giant Whale's Body could be ranked S-rank.

It could be said that regardless of what the two remaining exclusive skills were, Giant Whale's Body was already enough to enable the Island Whale's development to be remarkable.

Giant Whale's Body greatly appealed to Lin Yuan, but he did not choose it ịT n0(v)eL/b(i)(n).𝘤𝑜𝓂 for the best novel reading experience

Instead, he went on to check the next exclusive skill.

[Pilot Whale Master: When swimming in the sea, it will be able to lead the other Island Whales and gain their conviction. When they swim as a group, they will be able to move faster.

Lin Yuan could not help but slap his leg when he saw Pilot Whale Master.

Pilot Whale Master was the ultimate dream skill for every federation.

When the federations were nurturing the Island Whales, they all hoped that the Island Whales would be able to gain the exclusive skill Pilot Whale Master.

Pilot Whale Master did not raise the Island Whale's own ability by much, but it made the Island Whale a Dictator in a group of Island Whales.

When an expert with the Island Whale with Pilot Whale Master was traveling the seas, there was a large chance that he would be able to gain a group of the Island Whales.

Moreover, when the Island Whale with Pilot Whale Master was leading a group, the group would be able to move about 10% faster.

The goods delivered by a group of Island Whales would reach the trillions.

This meant that the Island Whale with Pilot Whale Master could lead a group to deliver ten times the amount of resources and reap the profits all at once.

This was why the Island Whale with Pilot Whale Master was ranked S.

It was even more valuable than Giant Whale's Body.

Normally, one would have to grab the opportunity that was Pilot Whale Master when it was given.

However, Pilot Whale Master did not fit with the role that Lin Yuan wanted Universe to play.

Although Universe could also swim in the sea like any other Island Whale, it would be holding up Sky City in the sky and spend almost no time in the water.

There were no other Island Whales in the sky that Universe could lead.

Lin Yuan did not intend to change Universe's role.

If he decided to move Universe to the water just for Pilot Whale Master, it would be a waste of its extremely rare mutation.

Chapter 1614: Floating Island Secret Realm

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Given a choice, Lin Yuan would not hesitate to choose Giant Whale's Body.

He stopped struggling over his dilemma and decided to look at Universe's third exclusive skill.

He immediately widened his eyes because this exclusive skill was not recorded in the Hidden Moon Palace's secret accounts of the Island Whale.

Lin Yuan was certain that this exclusive skill had come from the Island Whale's mutation into the Floating Island Whale.

[Floating Island Secret Realm: A special space will be opened within the whale's abdomen by swallowing wind-elemental energy. The higher the purity of the wind-elemental energy, the larger the space will be. But the space will not exceed twice the size of the body. By swallowing water-elemental energy, the flesh will gain powerful fusion abilities that will enable the fats to stick to any lifeform, dead or alive, and drain nutrients from them. The purer the water-elemental energy, the stronger the fusion ability will be.

!

Floating Island Secret Realm used both wind- and water-elemental energy.

Normally, the Island Whale did not contain wind-elemental energy.

After Universe flew into the air, Lin Yuan would have no need for it to have strong combat and defense power.

Dark Blue and Gray would be able to protect Universe well.

Moreover, the Island Whale that had been nurtured by someone would be fitted with protective feys on its back that had predictive abilities.

Giant Whale's Body appealed to Lin Yuan because it could expand Universe's size.

Lin Yuan wanted to build a new Sky City on Universe's back. As such, the larger the size of Universe's back, the better it would be.

If Universe chose Floating Island Secret Realm, it would be able to use wind-elemental energy to open a secret realm in its abdomen.

This would essentially increase the size of Universe's back. It was just like how both increasing the size of a space and building a second floor on top of it were the same in that the space would still be increased.

Universe needed to stay hidden when it was in the air.

If Universe could gain more space without increasing its size, it would be good news to Lin Yuan.

After all, the larger its size, the bigger the target it would be.

It would also put a lot of strain on Gray to cover an overly large Floating Island Whale.

Additionally, the secret realm in Universe's abdomen was a hidden space.

It would be a safe place to store resources or do other things. Finndd the new𝒆st 𝒏ovels on n/𝒐

Lin Yuan would be able to use Space Tunnel to set up a link between the Spirit Lock spatial zone's basement and Universe's abdomen.

Both Floating Island Secret Realm and Giant Whale's Body had their own pros and cons.

Both could increase space.

Floating Island Secret Realm would provide secrecy, but Giant Whale's Body would increase endurance, combat, and defense.

Ever since the Element Well had appeared in the Spirit Lock spatial zone, no one in the world had more wind-elemental energy than Lin Yuan.

Thus, Lin Yuan was confident that he would be able to increase the space in Universe's abdomen to its greatest extent of two times Universe's size.

This meant that choosing Floating Island Secret Realm would increase Universe's size slightly more than Giant Whale's Body could.

Additionally, Floating Island Secret Realm had another ability.

By consuming water-elemental energy, Universe's flesh would become a bonding agent.

When building on top of Universe, the building materials would be practically planted into Universe's flesh. This would make the structure extremely sturdy!

Chapter 1615: Subjugate the Sky!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

During this process, Universe's body started to expand.

However, it did not expand to a large extent as it stopped once it reached a length of six meters.

At this point, there was no eggshell left to eat.

Lin Yuan immediately used True Data to check on Universe's abilities.

[Fey Name: Floating Island Whale

[Fey Species: Large-winged-whale-species/island-whale-species.

[Fey Grade: Silver (6/10)

[Fey Type: Water/Wind

[Fey Quality: Elite

Abilities:

[Whale Blood Screen: Set fire to the essence blood inside its body and form a screen that can protect everything on its back.

[Water Vapor Whale Feelers: Transform its feelers into water vapor and use them to gather nutrients from the environment to recover itself.

[Whale Spout Empowerment: Through the blowhole in its head, it can shoot out the energy from its body and supply it to the entities fused with it to replenish their energy or fix them up in other ways.

Exclusive Skill:

[Floating Island Secret Realm: A special space will be opened within the whale's abdomen by swallowing wind-elemental energy. The higher the purity of the wind-elemental energy, the larger the space will be. But the space will not exceed twice the size of the body. By swallowing water-elemental energy, the flesh will gain powerful fusion abilities that will enable the fats to stick to any lifeform, dead or alive, and drain nutrients from them. The purer the water-elemental energy, the stronger the fusion ability will be.

When Lin Yuan saw Universe's three abilities, he balled his fists as excitement spread across his face.

Normally, the Island Whale's Normal and Elite abilities were set, and any changes were slight.

The Normal abilities could be Whale Blood Screen, Whale Fat Screen, or Elemental Screen.

Out of the three, Whale Blood Screen was the best.

Elemental Screen would use up the elemental energy inside its body, while Whale Fat Screen would use up the Island Whale's fat.

After these two were used up, they would not be as easy to replenish as blood was.

The mature Island Whale's heart was bigger than a house, and there were four spleens next to the heart.

Every time the heart contracted, the four spleens would pump out fresh blood.

Once the Island Whale grew to full size, it would be able to use Whale Blood Screen as a triggered ability.

It would not cause much damage to the Island Whale if the ability was turned on for an entire day. Rather, its metabolism would speed up.

The Elite abilities were usually Strengthen Whale Feelers, Extend Whale Feelers, Tentacle Whale Feelers, and Flowing Water Feelers.

All these abilities would be able to replenish the Island Whale's energy and increase its endurance.

However, Strengthen Whale Feelers, Extend Whale Feelers, and Tentacle Whale Feelers could not escape their original limits.

However, one increased the feeler's filtering abilities, the other increased the feelers' ability to cover an area, and the last increased the feelers' agility.

Still, all three of them could not compete with Flowing Water Feelers.

Flowing Water Feelers filtered the energy in the environment through the flowing water. As such, Universe would not have to open its mouth to filter food and absorb energy.

This would improve not only the Island Whale's appearance but also its body to heal itself.

Water Vapor Whale Feelers was an extended version of Flowing Water Feelers.

Since Universe controlled two types of elemental energy, its feelers could turn into both of these types of elemental energy to filter food.

When water and air combined, they turned into clouds.

Universe would be able to spread the filtered clouds so that it mixed with Gray in cloud form.

The Island Whale with Flowing Water Feelers would be given the title of A-rank even if its other exclusive skills and abilities were useless.

This was because the Island Whale would be able to travel endlessly as long as it did not encounter anything urgent that used up a large amount of its energy. It would not need someone to replenish its energy.

Both Universe's Normal and Elite abilities were the best.

Lin Yuan felt that Whale Spout Empowerment was an ability that would only be used in crises.

Firstly, all of the energy in Universe's body would be released, and it would take a very long time to recover.

Whale Spout Empowerment's effects depended on the amount of energy in Universe's body.

When feys of the same grade were side by side, the larger one would contain more energy.

No fey in the world was larger than the Island Whale.

There was a terrifying amount of energy inside the Island Whale's body.

When the Island Whale released all of the energy in its body, the damaged buildings built into its fat would immediately start to rebuild.

When faced with an enemy, the Island Whale would be able to play a game of tower defense.

In a battle, plant-type feys that used elemental attacks were the most important. However, the plant-type feys that relied on elemental energy could only release a few attacks before they were spent.

Now, with Whale Spout Empowerment, Universe's attack and defense structures on its back would be able to rapidly explode outward to produce the strongest effects.

It took a large number of resources to build battle structures on an Island Whale's back.

Even a federation would have to carefully consider before spending such resources.

However, Lin Yuan did not need to think that much about it.

After interacting with Universe for a while, Lin Yuan returned Universe to the Spirit Lock spatial zone.

Blood New Moon was stunned for a moment before he said, "Lin Yuan, the Island Whale's mutation is definitely a gift from nature. Despite being newly hatched, it has the intelligence of a mature Island Whale. I think that it only needs one opportunity to become a Heavenly Family Fey."

Blood New Moon had wanted to go on but decided not to because no one could say if Universe could evolve into a Heavenly Family Fey.

Every natural environment had its own Heavenly Family Fey.

It was possible for one natural environment to have two Heavenly Family Feys, but it was very rare.

Even if it did happen, it would just be an overlap in a certain area.

The Heavenly Family Fey that was affiliated with the earth had appeared, and Blue Lotus controlled the sea. Gett your 𝒇avorite 𝒏ovels at no/v/e/lb𝒊

However, there was still no Heavenly Family Fey affiliated with the sky.

If Universe could truly become a Heavenly Family Fey, it would definitely be able to subjugate the sky!

Chapter 1616: Stay With You Through the Night!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

When Lin Yuan returned to the mansion, he received Gao Feng's call before he even reached his room.

Gao Feng had been locked away training for some time, and there had been no activity from him in the group chat since.

Now that Gao Feng was calling Lin Yuan, it had to mean that he was done evolving his power and contracting his sacred source lifeform.

When Lin Yuan picked up the call, he heard Gao Feng sob. "Lin Yuan, Master finally let me out! I have been working like a dog! Although I was only locked away for two months, it felt like I'd been training for two years!"

Lin Yuan smiled when he heard what Gao Feng said.

Gao Feng was already hard-working by nature.

In order to increase his power, he sought out a better team to fight in the Allstar Match with. He had been training consistently for a long time.

Without all his efforts, he would not have been able to seize the opportunity at the Guard Ye Banquet and become Cicada Song's disciple.

It seemed that Cicada Song had been putting Gao Feng through the wringer for the past two months.

Gao Feng wanted to participate in the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection.

As a disciple of royalty, he shouldered a heavy responsibility.

Cicada Song did not know that Lin Yuan was Black, and Lin Yuan had not told Gao Feng about it either.

It was likely that Cicada Song was placing all the responsibility of taking on the Freedom Federation envoy group on Gao Feng's back.

It seemed that Gao Feng's power had reached a whole new level.

Before Lin Yuan could ask about what was new with Gao Feng, the latter went on to say, "Brother, I'm done with what I need to do here. All of you will probably have to come and spectate the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection. You'll be able to see me fight."

Lin Yuan did not hear the relief of being let out after two months. Rather, he had a strangely heavy tone.

Gao Feng said hoarsely, "Brother, if you're not too busy, I would like to ask you out to have a few drinks together."

Lin Yuan immediately realized why Gao Feng's tone was so austere.

The root of the matter lay in the fight against the Freedom Federation envoy group after the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection.

Gao Feng had either guessed this result on his own or was told by Cicada Song.

Regardless of which it was, Gao Feng had definitely decided to take on the responsibility.

This was part of his duty as a disciple of royalty.

Since he was about to fight side by side with Gao Feng, Lin Yuan decided that it was time to tell Gao Feng some things.

Thus, Lin Yuan said, "You've been to my mansion before. The last time you came, the Submerged Flood Dragon Lake was still being constructed. But now, many pavilions sit on the Sunlight King Lotus and glitter under the sunlight. I will prepare wine and wait for you on the lake."

Wen Yu had used the Cinnabar Sweet Osmanthus' flowers to brew a wine that did not have high alcohol content.

Lin Yuan had been intending to use this wine but eventually decided against it. Instead, he chose the Flames Wine that Zong Ze had served during their previous gathering.

The Flames Wine was a strong wine brewed from various fire-elemental spiritual ingredients and fire-element energy.

When drunk, one would feel as though their throat was on fire.

In the past, Zong Ze relied on the Flames Wine to suppress the bad luck that plagued him.

Lin Yuan walked toward the Submerged Flood Dragon Lake with the Flames Wine in hand.

When Blackie sensed Lin Yuan approaching, it flew out of the water and charged at Lin Yuan.

Every time Lin Yuan came to see Blackie, he would leave completely drenched.

However, Lin Yuan had business to attend to at this time and hurriedly used wings made of the Day and Night Spirit Silver and flew away from Blackie.

After he shook off the water that Blackie had splashed onto him, Lin Yuan landed on Blackie's neck and said, "Blackie, I am meeting a friend for drinks at the pavilion tonight. Be good, and stop chasing the Angelfish of Bliss around the lake."

Blackie replied gently, "Okay! I will take it as you spending time with me as you're drinking on the surface of the Submerged Flood Dragon Lake. I'll nap underwater."

Lin Yuan admired the beauty of the Submerged Flood Dragon Lake.

The Sunlight King Lotus absorbed the sunlight and looked like another sun that was resting on the lake.

The rainbow Angelfish of Bliss swam around in schools in the water. They looked like rainbows adorning the sun.

There were over 100 pavilions on the leaves of the Sunlight King Lotus, and flowers surrounded each pavilion.

It looked like a bona fide celestial realm.

Blackie sent Lin Yuan to a pavilion.

Lin Yuan did not have to wait long before he spotted Gao Feng at the edge of the Submerged Flood Dragon Lake.

Gao Feng waved at Lin Yuan. Without Blackie having to fetch him, he waved his hand and summoned a three-meter-tall rose.

This rose was the Breeze Hibiscus.

Lin Yuan noticed that the Breeze Hibiscus had evolved to Diamond X/Fantasy V, the highest level a young expert could attain.

The Breeze Hibiscus' leaves swayed, kicking up a breeze that blew Gao Feng over to Lin Yuan.

Gao Feng was smiling, but Lin Yuan could sense from his gaze that he was holding himself back.

Lin Yuan handed the Flames Wine to Gao Feng and said, "You said you wanted to drink, so I prepared this for you. Tonight, I will drink with you for the entire night. You can say whatever you want to say!" Ne/w novel chapt𝒆rs are published on no/vel( /m

Gao Feng reached out and hugged Lin Yuan before he took a swig of the Flames Wine.

This mouthful of wine seemed to set all of Gao Feng's blood on fire.

Usually, Gao Feng was not very expressive.

Although he saw Lin Yuan as a good friend, he would normally never do something like hugging him.

Gao Feng took a deep breath and said, "Let me tell you a story! There was a little boy who was beloved by his grandfather from the moment he was born. He could have anything and everything that he asked for. Although his father was unreasonable and his mother was strict, he could still do whatever he wanted. When he was young, this boy did not have any friends. But once he came of age, he managed to make a few good friends. Because of these friends, he suddenly found himself the disciple of an expert. Now, the father who never acknowledged him is putting him on a pedestal. This delights the boy! But one day, the boy will have to put his life on the line as a disciple of royalty for the glory of the Radiance Federation."

Gao Feng took another gulp of wine and went on to say.

Chapter 1617: Strong Support-Type Sacred Source Lifeform!

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

"Although that boy is of age, he still feels like a child. Do you know how that boy felt when all that pressure came crashing down on him?"

Lin Yuan did not respond because he knew that Gao Feng was not looking for a reply. He just needed someone to vent his true feelings to.

It was clear that Gao Feng was talking about himself.

Gao Feng picked up the jug of wine and took a few more gulps before he started to cough violently.

As he coughed, he said, "This boy is terrified of death because it will mean that he will no longer be able to see this world, eat good food, take part in the Allstar Match, or have drinks with his friends anymore.

"However, when the boy found out that the matter concerned the pride of the Radiance Federation, he felt all the blood rush to his head for some reason. He became willing to safeguard the Radiance Federation.

"Even if it means that he won't be able to see the world, eat good food, participate in the Allstar Match, or have drinks with his friends anymore. He's willing to accept all of it! Don't you think that this boy is really stupid?"

Lin Yuan stared at Gao Feng's eyes which had gone red from spluttering and coughing.

At that moment, Gao Feng seemed less like he was venting and more like he was bidding goodbye.

Although he was a disciple of royalty, and it was his duty to take on all of this, he did have the option to say no.

Being a support-type spirit qi professional, he would have plenty of opportunities during the Radiance Hundred Sequence's qualifying rounds to get himself eliminated.

Once he did that, he would have nothing to do with everything that came next.

However, Gao Feng would not do so.

No matter how attached he was to the world or how afraid he was of dying, he was willing to take on all of the responsibility.

This meant that Gao Feng was worthy of his title.

Now that he knew Gao Feng's choice, Lin Yuan gave him an internal thumbs-up.

At that moment, Lin Yuan did not know how he should comfort Gao Feng.

He summoned Genius and instructed it to use Tool Transformation.

Lin Yuan put on the silver mask.

When Gao Feng saw the cat that Lin Yuan summoned, he was immediately stunned.

After Gao Feng accepted his duty, he regarded Black as his teammate. Fị𝒏dd 𝒏ew upd𝒂t𝒆s on n(o)v/e/l𝒃

Gao Feng was a support-type spirit qi professional.

When he chose this path, he would need to trust his teammates during battle.

After he became a disciple of royalty, his horizons were expanded. Thus, he tried to find someone exceptional among those who were participating in the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection.

Eventually, Black caught his eye.

Hence, Gao Feng searched for Black's Celestial Stairway battle recordings so that he could study Black's power.

He wanted to find the best way to support Black.

Gao Feng had watched Black's battles many times.

The only thing that he remembered was the phantom image of the cat that had appeared behind Black.

Gao Feng had not managed to pick up on anything else.

This frustrated Gao Feng.

Black had only shown a few of his feys. If Gao Feng did not even know what feys Black had, how could he come up with a plan to support him?

The cat that Lin Yuan summoned did not resemble the phantom image of the cat that had appeared behind Black. However, both had eight tails.

Before Gao Feng could ponder even further, the cat used Tool Transformation and turned into a mask that Lin Yuan wore.

In an instant, a name flew out from Gao Feng's lips—"Black!"

Lin Yuan nodded at the stunned Gao Feng and said, "That's right. I'm Black. I will be by your side not just tonight over drinks but also during battle."

Gao Feng had been excited when Cicada Song arranged for him to contract a sacred source lifeform.

But when he learned his sacred source lifeform's abilities, he almost exploded on the spot.

I'm a pure support-type spirit qi professional! I don't have any combat abilities, so all I can do is get beaten up. Unlike defense-type spirit qi professionals, I can't hold out against enemies using my feys' defense abilities. It would be fine if my sacred source lifeform was combat-type. At least I would be able to retaliate! But what am I supposed to do with a support-type sacred source lifeform!?

This was the reason Gao Feng looked like he was holding back when he came to see Lin Yuan.

At the break of dawn, he thought about how he would be sacrificed and was headed for his inevitable death.

He cared about the type of his sacred source lifeform because he was afraid that he would not be able to do anything other than get beaten up and humiliate himself in a fight that involved the Radiance Federation's pride.

Gao Feng also came to see Lin Yuan to bid him goodbye.

So how did Lin Yuan suddenly become his teammate?

If Lin Yuan was Black, this meant that the person he would have to support during the fight was Lin Yuan.

Gao Feng had witnessed Lin Yuan's power for himself at the Guard Ye Banquet's Martial Arts Stage.

A strong wave of confidence rose within Gao Feng.

But his face fell again when he thought about the sacred source lifeform he had contracted.

He scratched his head and said uneasily, "Lin Yuan, the sacred source lifeform I formed a contract with is too lousy. I might end up being dead weight during the battle. I have no clue why Master said it's the strongest support-type sacred source lifeform he's ever seen."

Gao Feng's words immediately piqued Lin Yuan's interest.

Cicada Song was a member of royalty and had seen more than the average person would see in their entire life.

If Cicada Song acknowledged it as the strongest support-type fey, it definitely had incomparable abilities and merits.

The Moon Empress had once mentioned to Lin Yuan that the strongest support-type fey on record was Cicada Song's Alleviating Wind.

Yet, Cicada Song chose to remove the title from his own sacred source lifeform and hand it to Gao Feng's sacred source lifeform.

This meant that Gao Feng's sacred source lifeform had to be extraordinary.

So why did Gao Feng think of his sacred source lifeform as useless and dead weight?

At that moment, Gao Feng said, "Lin Yuan, have a look at my sacred source lifeform. Although neither of us will be able to depend on it during battle, the Breeze Hibiscus and Spirit Spring Lily will still be able to help to recover spirit qi while the Yellow Spring Lily will be able to extend your feys' lives."

While Gao Feng was speaking, a crystal box that shone with rainbow light appeared in front of him.

Chapter 1618: Memory-Consuming Eight Tunes Box

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The shining rainbow crystal box was intricately made, and there was a fairy engraved on it.

The fairy seemed to be harvesting something while howling. It was as though there was something within her body that was trying to get out.

It could be said that the image engraved on the crystal box was peculiar.

However, Lin Yuan was not the most curious about the image carved on the crystal box but the rainbow light.

This light was very similar to that of an uncontracted sacred source lifeform.

Gao Feng noticed Lin Yuan observing his sacred source lifeform and said, "Lin Yuan, Master was willing to use his sacred source lifeform's roots to evolve this thing to 6 Stars. I have no idea what's going through his mind! How many of the young experts from the Freedom Federation that we'll be facing even have a sacred source lifeform?"

Lin Yuan was shocked when he heard what Gao Feng said.

He could not believe that Cicada Song was willing to use his sacred source lifeform's roots to evolve Gao Feng's sacred source lifeform.

This meant that Gao Feng's sacred source lifeform had to have very strong abilities.

A sacred source lifeform's roots took a long time to recover after they were used.

After using this method to evolve Gao Feng's sacred source lifeform, Cicada Song's sacred source lifeform would not be able to evolve for another two years.

According to Gao Feng, his sacred source lifeform's abilities targeted other sacred source lifeforms.

Clearly, Gao Feng had no clue about the strength of the enemies that they would be facing.

Lin Yuan could bet that there would be at least three of them who had sacred source lifeforms.

Lin Yuan could not help but be curious about Gao Feng's sacred source lifeform and used True Data to check on its abilities.

[Sacred Source Name: Memory-Consuming Eight Tunes Box

[Sacred Source Species: Source genus/Sacred Source species Gett your 𝒇avorite 𝒏ovels at no/v/e/lb𝒊

[Sacred Source Star Grade: 6 Stars

[Sacred Source Type: Light/Soul

Abilities:

[Memory Magic Cut: Pick a sacred source lifeform and cut its memory of one of its abilities. The target sacred source lifeform will be unable to use that forgotten ability. Every time the life rank is raised, the Memory-Consuming Eight Tunes Box will be able to lock away another ability.

[Exile Tuning: Exile itself outside of a memory. Every time its life rank is raised, it can choose another target sacred source lifeform to be exiled as well.

Lin Yuan's jaw dropped open in shock, and he blinked mutely.

If Lin Yuan did not know Gao Feng well and know that he was not one to humble brag, he would be wondering if Gao Feng was humble bragging at that moment.

It could be said that the Memory-Consuming Eight Tunes Box was the bane of every sacred source lifeform.

Just Memory Magic Cut alone would be a nightmare for countless sacred source lifeforms.

When others were using their sacred source lifeforms, Gao Feng would be able to use the Memory-Consuming Eight Tunes Box to restrain them.

Sacred source lifeforms below 4 Stars only had one ability.

This meant that Gao Feng could now use his sacred source lifeform to cut other sacred source lifeforms' memory of their abilities.

Sealing the abilities of other sacred source lifeforms seemed almost perverse.

Gao Feng's sacred source lifeform had reached 6 Stars, which meant that it had entered the adolescent stage.

Gao Feng could use Memory Magic Cut to target two sacred source lifeforms at once and cut their abilities.

The extent to which sacred source lifeforms could restrict each other was linked to their Stars.

Normally, feys with controlling abilities would struggle to control feys that were higher Stars than them.

But the Memory-Consuming Eight Tunes Box would be almost invincible against feys of the same or lower Stars.

No matter how strong the experts in the Freedom Federation envoy group were, they could not be more than 6 Stars.

This was unless the Freedom Federation's royalty were also willing to give up their own benefits to help their disciples.

Although Gao Feng's sacred source lifeform did not have strong combat abilities, Memory Magic Cut would cause other sacred source lifeforms to forget two abilities.

Although every sacred source lifeform had a different comprehension ability at each stage, all of them had a main ability.

If the main ability was sealed off, the sacred source lifeform's power would be greatly depressed.

If the Sacred Sword Wielding Queen's skirt was sealed off and it forgot that ability, all the worlds and laws engraved on the skirt would become useless, and Lin Yuan would not be able to utilize any of the Sword Skills.

That was not even the clincher. The clincher was the Memory-Consuming Eight Tunes Box's second ability, Exile Tuning.

Memory Magic Cut could adjust its control over sacred source lifeforms when faced with many enemies. Its battle style was very dynamic.

When the Memory-Consuming Eight Tunes Box used Exile Tuning, it could exile two sacred source lifeforms of equal or lower Stars.

If the enemy's fey had reached between 4 and 6 Stars, Gao Feng would be able to use his sacred source lifeform to take four abilities.

Now, Lin Yuan finally knew why Cicada Song had said that Gao Feng's sacred source lifeform was the strongest support-type sacred source lifeform.

The Memory-Consuming Eight Tunes Box was currently only 6 Stars.

It might not be able to trigger celestial phenomena when it reached 10 Stars, but it would be able to restrain four sacred source lifeforms that could activate celestial phenomena.

This fey might not be able to increase Gao Feng's battle power, but it still represented immense strategic significance.

No matter who Gao Feng encountered in the future, he could confidently say, "My sacred source lifeform might not be strong, but it's definitely stronger than yours!"

Lin Yuan patted the despondent Gao Feng's shoulder and said, "Gao Feng, as a disciple of royalty, you'll eventually have to try and become a Radiance Envoy or at least a Radiance Knight. Your enemies at the Major Federation Meeting will be other elites. Don't you think that they'll have sacred source lifeforms?"

After being enlightened by Lin Yuan, Gao Feng immediately understood what he meant.

Chapter 1619: How is the Disciple More Shameless Than the Master?

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After a moment, Gao Feng suddenly felt that the Memory-Consuming Eight Tunes Box was not as terrible as he originally thought.

Lin Yuan went on to say, "You're walking the path of support-type. You would have to be worried if your sacred source lifeform had strong combat abilities because it wouldn't gel with your combat style and would mess up your team. Now, you don't have to worry about that."

Gao Feng felt that what Lin Yuan said was very reasonable.

Previously, all his thoughts had surrounded the upcoming fight. But now, they went beyond that one fight.

His sacred source lifeform was actually pretty good!

After all, it was difficult for support-type abilities to be of any use against sacred source lifeforms.

But now, Gao Feng's sacred source lifeform could.

Gao Feng immediately felt a burst of confidence.

As a pure support-type spirit qi professional, Gao Feng had not participated in the S Tournament because he could not find suitable teammates.

The teammates that he had managed to cobble together were all too lousy and could not match up to his power.

But now that his horizons were abruptly expanded after meeting Zong Ze, Gu Lang, and the rest, Gao Feng was afraid that he would be a burden to other disciples of royalty and that they would think of him as a piece of trash.

Gao Feng's confidence has been low for the past few months.

This was because Liu Jie, Zong Ze, and Lin Yuan, who had all shown incredible power at the Martial Stage and Martial Arts Stage, would be participating in the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection.

But now that he had regained his confidence, he was about to ask Lin Yuan to have a few drinks with him when Lin Yuan said, "We will have to enter the dueling ground in two days. At that time, Zong Ze and Gu Lang should have returned from their training in the abyssal world. It seems that An He has been staying in the Royal Capital. Liu Jie should be able to return to the mansion tomorrow night. I think that we should have a gathering."

Lin Yuan told Gao Feng about his plan.

After Gao Feng found out that he was going to fight side by side with Lin Yuan, all the fear within Gao Feng vanished.

When he heard that Lin Yuan wanted to involve the other disciples of royalty to take on the young experts from the Freedom Federation envoy group, Gao Feng could not help but feel a rush of motivation.

As a support-type expert, the more teammates he had, the more valuable he became.

He would not be able to demonstrate his greatest value if he was only going to help one person. Rather, it would cause him to become the enemy's first target.

With strong teammates, Gao Feng would be safer.

Gao Feng learned from Lin Yuan that three of the experts from the Freedom Federation they were going to be faced with were favored by the Freedom Federation's members of royalty and that all three of them had sacred source lifeforms.

This meant that the Memory-Consuming Eight Tunes Box would definitely become a key player.

Gao Feng nodded and said, "Sounds good! I will go and contact Gu Lang and Zong Ze now! However, Zong Ze and Gu Lang have never been on good terms with An He. Will it really be okay to call An He over too?" 𝒩eew updates 𝒂t n𝒐vel/bi𝒏.com

Lin Yuan gently shook his head.

No matter how much two people disliked each other, they would have no problems joining hands as long as everyone involved was rational.

Zong Ze and Gu Lang saw An He as an enemy because he was a rival young expert, and they competed for resources.

During such a circumstance, Zong Ze and Gu Lang would also invite An He for a chat even if Lin Yuan did not initiate contact.

Since the Freedom Federation had sent their young experts to stir trouble, the Radiance Federation would have to respond in kind.

The Radiance Federation would definitely not sit by and watch mutely when they knew that the Freedom Federation had tricks up their sleeve.

It was always said that no one would be a sitting duck when they knew they were being hunted.

Gao Feng called Gu Lang and Zong Ze, while Lin Yuan called An He.

Presently, An He was speaking to an elegant-looking middle-aged man. "Master, I need much more pure water- and earth-elemental energy in order for the Sudden Hibernating Wetland Dragon and Country Governor Kui to take the next step."

The elegant-looking man put down the book he was holding, and frustration flashed across his face.

He had to attend the imperial meeting tomorrow, but in such a situation, he could not ask Chef Supreme, the Bamboo Monarch, and the Moon Empress for pure heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls.

Although he was extremely powerful as a member of the Radiance Federation's royalty, he still had to seek out the three Class 5 Creation Masters in order to obtain such elite resources.

Ji Changdeng had no choice but to say, "I don't think the Sudden Hibernating Wetland Dragon and Country Governor Kui will be able to evolve before the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection."

Ji Changdeng immediately thought of Elder Gu's report and asked An He, "I heard that you clashed against the Moon Empress' disciple. Is this true?"

An He retracted his neck.

As Ji Changdeng's disciple, An He knew the feelings that Ji Changdeng had for the Moon Empress well.

An He felt that he and Lin Yuan had forged a bond through their rough encounter.

They had even exchanged contact details and could be considered friends.

Hence, An He replied, "Master, the Moon Empress' disciple is named Lin Yuan, and we're friends now."

Ji Changdeng immediately felt that An He was even more shameless than he had been when he was courting the Moon Empress.

How is that normal? You fought but became friends afterward? I fought so many battles with the Moon Empress, so does that mean she should be in love with me now?

At this moment, An He's phone rang.

An He's phone only rang every few days because he had not given his number to many people.

Now that his phone was suddenly ringing, his eyes lit up when he saw who the call was coming from.

He showed the phone to Ji Changdeng and said, "Look, Lin Yuan is calling me."

Ji Changdeng suddenly felt that fighting seemed like a good way to pull two people closer together.

An He picked up the call, and Lin Yuan asked him to come to the mansion for a gathering and discuss their plan for the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection.

Since this involved the Freedom Federation envoy group. An He waved at Ji Changdeng.

He did not care if Lin Yuan had set the meeting time as tomorrow afternoon. Despite it being night, he followed Lin Yuan's address and arrived at the Return from Faraway Mansion.

During the journey, An He's smile never left his face.

This was the first time that a friend had invited him over to their house as a guest.

It felt good!

A thought struck him, and a sharp gleam streaked across his gaze.

Chapter 1620: We're All Disciples of Royalty, Why are You Putting On Airs?

Ever since the Freedom Federation envoy group arrived at the Radiance Federation, An He had been suppressing his urge to kill. Ne/w novel chapt𝒆rs are published on no/vel( /m

But once he stepped onto the dueling ground, he would definitely use his secret weapon that he had kept to himself during his fight with Lin Yuan and wipe all his enemies out!

An He's role model was his senior brother, who was now the third Radiance Envoy.

As such, An He's ambition had always been to become a Radiance Envoy.

!

An He knew that Lin Yuan would definitely invite Zong Ze and Gu Lang to this meeting as well.

Recently, An He had snatched a sacred source lifeform from Gu Lang.

Although An He ended up surrendering the sacred source lifeform to Lin Yuan, the grudge between him and Gu Lang had already materialized.

He had already had many negative encounters with Zong Ze and Gu Lang.

An He had an explosive temper. Usually, he was the one who provoked the grudges.

But this time, he was determined not to rile up Zong Ze and Gu Lang.

When they had serious business to attend to, it had to take priority.

From the moment that An He arrived at the Return from Faraway Mansion, he immediately attracted the attention of Blood New Moon, White Phoenix, Blue Lotus, and the rest.

Luckily, the Mother of Bloodbath was acquainted with An He.

When the Mother of Bloodbath unlocked its Heavenly Family Fey bloodline, An He had even helped the Mother of Bloodbath to keep the aquatic feys at bay.

Thus, the Mother of Bloodbath reasonably felt indebted to An He and decided that it would go and greet An He personally.

When An He saw the Mother of Bloodbath, his eyes lit up. "Lin Yuan invited me to a banquet. Take me to him!"

The Mother of Bloodbath looked at An He strangely.

Why would Lin Yuan be inviting you to a banquet in the middle of the night? Moreover, isn't Lin Yuan already drinking with Gao Feng on the Submerged Flood Dragon Lake tonight? Lin Yuan probably asked to meet with you in the daytime!

But since Lin Yuan did know An He, the Mother of Bloodbath said, "Let's go. I'll take you to see Lin Yuan."

This was the first time that An He was at the Return from Faraway Mansion.

Before he could even marvel at the Return from Faraway Mansion's decorations and design, he spotted the glittering Submerged Flood Dragon Lake that was as bright as day.

The Mother of Bloodbath led An He to the edge of the Submerged Flood Dragon Lake.

Gao Feng and Lin Yuan immediately spotted An He with the Mother of Bloodbath.

Lin Yuan's eyebrow twitched.

Gu Lang had just ended the call with Zong Ze and Gu Lang while Lin Yuan had also only just finished his call with An He.

So why was An He already here?

At that moment, An He waved at Lin Yuan and said, "Lin Yuan, count me in if you're drinking!"

An He was very hard to get close to but warmed up quickly to those who he acknowledged.

This was the reason An He had called Lin Yuan his friend in front of Wang Ce.

Lin Yuan knew what kind of person An He was, so he said with a smile, "There's no question that we have enough alcohol. Let me introduce you to a new friend."

The Sudden Hibernating Wetland Dragon had the ability to change water and earth into each other.

An He lifted a leg and started walking on the surface of the Submerged Flood Dragon Lake. The water below his feet solidified into land.

He walked all the way to one of the pavilions.

Once An He took his next step, the land would turn back into water.

This change startled all the nearby Angelfish of Bloss, and the rainbows underwater started twisting even quicker.

Lin Yuan had told Gao Feng about his plan, so the latter knew that the approaching An He was Long Lamplight's disciple who would very likely become his teammate in two days.

Hence, Gao Feng took the initiative to greet An He by reaching out his hand.

But what An He did next filled Gao Feng with awkwardness.

All An He did was nod at Gao Feng.

Not only did An He fail to take Gao Feng's hand, but his gaze never left Lin Yuan.

At that moment, Gao Feng wanted to punch An He's face.

He finally understood why Zong Ze and Gu Lang were not welcoming toward An He.

We're all disciples of royalty, so why are you putting on airs? Zong Ze, Gu Lang, and Lin Yuan are even Creation Masters on top of being spirit qi professionals. Yet, none of them are as pompous as you!

Gao Feng rolled his eyes, picked up his cup, and said, "Lin Yuan, let's continue drinking! I remember you arranging for the meetup to take place tomorrow afternoon. Yet, someone turned up uninvited."

An He frowned when he heard what Gao Feng said, and a purple worm appeared on his shoulder.

Lin Yuan knew that An He was not on good terms with Gu Lang and Zong Ze. But now, An He and Gao Feng were also off to a bad start.

Lin Yuan suddenly felt a headache coming on.

He was friends with all of them, so there was nothing he could say.

At that moment, An He said, "I came to see Lin Yuan about official business. Unlike someone, I don't have time to speak in riddles."

Gao Feng immediately felt anger bubbling to the surface.

Are you actually a girl? You sure sound like one now! I tried to greet you and even extended my hand, but you chose to be unfriendly. Yet, you claim that I'm the one speaking in riddles and even summoned your fey. Do you think that you scare me? I only have support-type feys and might not be able to defeat you, but there's no way that Lin Yuan will stand by and watch me get beaten up.

Lin Yuan felt his head start to throb.

He shuddered upon thinking about the commotion that would follow if An He kept up this attitude when Gu Lang and Zong Ze arrived.

Lin Yuan felt that An He was the one who had started the confrontation between him and Gao Feng.

Thus, Lin Yuan's expression darkened, and he said to An He seriously, "During a time like this, all of us need to work together. I hope that we can all be friends regardless of what happened in the past. An He, introduce yourself to Gao Feng. Once Zong Ze and Gu Lang arrive, we shouldn't fight amongst ourselves. If we don't work together now, we won't be worthy of becoming Radiance Envoys."

Lin Yuan's words stunned An He, and he felt slightly uncomfortable.

But An He was not an unreasonable person. Moreover, he had acknowledged Lin Yuan.

As such, he carefully contemplated what Lin Yuan had just said, and his knitted brow eventually relaxed.

He turned and said to Gao Feng, "My name is An He. I don't like touching strangers. From now on, we can be counted as acquaintances."

Gao Feng had guessed the type of person that An He was, so he decided to forget about An He's recent attitude.

He was very touched that Lin Yuan stood up for him in front of another disciple of royalty.

Chapter 1621: Something Wrong With An He!

Gao Feng said to An He, "Don't worry. I'm just a support-type spirit qi professional and don't have much combat ability on my own. If I'm ever lucky enough to fight alongside you, I hope that you'll be able to protect me, and I will do my best to support all the combat-type spirit qi professionals in the team."

Lin Yuan was a healing-type spirit qi professional but had not used any healing abilities during the Martial Arts Stage.

Rather, he only used his physical body and clashed against Zong Ze's Diamond X/Fantasy V Life-Changing Fire Beast.

Although An He also declared himself to be a healing-type spirit qi professional, he had shown himself to be skilled at defense.

!

This was the reason Gao Feng said what he said.

Gao Feng did not care that An He disliked being touched by strangers and just took it as An He had a lower EQ.

He could understand why a person would be averse to being touched by strangers.

Lin Yuan nodded at An He.

If An He knew how to back down when necessary, there was a possibility that he would not be too difficult to manage when Zong Ze and Gu Lang arrived.

At that moment, Lin Yuan remembered that An He went to take over the large whale fall because he wanted to obtain the pure water-elemental energy within.

It was clear that he wanted the water-elemental energy to evolve his feys.

The Sudden Hibernating Wetland Dragon was both water- and earth-type. Thus, An He did not need to choose between water-elemental energy and earth-elemental energy.

Moreover, most of An He's feys were earth-type.

It was much more difficult to obtain natural pure earth-elemental energy than it was to obtain pure water-elemental energy.

It could be said that what An He truly lacked was earth-elemental energy.

But regardless of whether it was earth-elemental energy or water-elemental energy, Lin Yuan had more than enough of both.

If An He's power could be increased at this juncture, it would only be beneficial for them.

Thus, Lin Yuan asked, "An He, has the Sudden Hibernating Wetland Dragon's bloodline evolved yet?"

An He shook his head and replied, "Unless I'm able to encounter another large whale fall, I will need close to 1,000 earth-type heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls of at least Floating Life quality to transform the Sudden Hibernating Wetland Dragon."

An He could not help but be frustrated.

His master was not a Creation Master, and it would be too much to ask of him to obtain so many high-purity heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls.

He could not go and beg the Moon Empress, and his Master was on bad terms with Chef Supreme and the Bamboo Monarch.

Hence, it would be more difficult for his master to obtain high-class Creation Master resources than it would be for the other members of royalty.

Lin Yuan was silent for a moment before he asked, "If you are able to obtain the heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls you need, how long will your fey's bloodline take to transform?"

Now that the Element Well appeared in the Spirit Lock spatial zone, Lin Yuan would be able to produce elemental energy purer than what was within Heavenly Maiden Sleet elemental pearls.

There was now enough water in the Element Well to fill half a bowl.

If Zong Ze's Fiery Sky Hou was able to obtain fire-elemental energy that was purer than the one within it, there was a chance that its bloodline would be evolved again.

Lin Yuan did not immediately offer the water from the Element Well to Zong Ze because the Fiery Sky Hou would need more than a few days for its bloodline to be evolved.

Thus, even if Lin Yuan offered the water to Zong Ze, it would not help in their upcoming fight against the Freedom Federation during the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection.

If An He's fey could evolve its bloodline and become stronger before the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection began, there would be no need for Lin Yuan to give him 1,000 heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls.

An He did not hesitate and told Lin Yuan about his situation.

"If I have enough heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls, the Country Governor Kui and Sudden Hibernating Wetland Dragon will definitely be able to be evolved! It will take longer for the Country Governor Kui's bloodline to be evolved, about a day. The other feys will be able to transform within two hours."

Now that An He said this, Lin Yuan took out a wooden box and threw it at An He.

"There are 1,000 earth-type Defined Life elemental pearls. Now that you have time, you should go and evolve your power. If you can finish evolving your power by tomorrow night, we can talk then."

After the Spirit Lock spatial zone evolved, it produced heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls at an astonishing rate.

The Wind Speed Rapid Antelope managed the Spirit Lock spatial zone. It separated the heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls into different types and stored 1,000 of each type in a wooden box.

After only a few days, there were already over 20 Heavenly Maiden Sleet elemental pearls in the Spirit Lock spatial zone.

From now on, Heavenly Maiden Sleet elemental pearls would be common goods in Lin Yuan's eyes.

An He's master was not a Creation Master. Thus, high-class Creation Master resources were all the more precious to him.

This was the reason he always fought with Zong Ze and Gu Lang over resources.

Now that Lin Yuan was giving him such a mountain of resources, An He felt as though there was no one in the world besides his master and senior brother who treated him better than Lin Yuan.

An He stared at Lin Yuan for a moment before he downed the wine in his cup.

"I'm going back now. I'll return once my feys have evolved."

Lin Yuan replied with a smile, "It will be too much trouble to travel back and forth. I have space here. Why don't you evolve your feys here? You don't have to try and be frugal with the heavenly-maiden-grade elemental pearls. Just let me know if you don't have enough. I have more."

An He was at a loss about how he could thank Lin Yuan.

Gao Feng noticed that An He was looking at Lin Yuan with an increasingly strange gaze and hurriedly said, "Go and evolve your feys. Accidents might happen during the evolution. What if a day isn't enough?"

Lin Yuan set An He up inside the Dome Guild Club.

After being assessed by the association, the Dome Guild Club's sign had been put up.

Gao Feng said to Lin Yuan suggestively, "Friend, does your guild club still need members?

Chapter 1622: Add a New Spark to the S Tournament!

Gao Feng had always wanted to find a suitable guild club to participate in the S Tournament with.

Normally, the only place Gao Feng could fight was on Star Web, and it was always individual battles.

Individual battles were a nightmare for Gao Feng.

They recently implemented duo battles, where one was allowed to fight on the Celestial Stairway with a teammate.

!

This new mode of battle was good news for healing- and support-type spirit qi professionals.

Healing-type and support-type spirit qi professionals could seek out a combat- or defense-type spirit qi professional to form a team with.

Healing-type and support-type spirit qi professionals could only show their true value when they had teammates.

However, duo battles did not bode well for Gao Feng either.

Pure support-type spirit qi professionals were very rare. Most support-type spirit qi professionals had some level of combat and controlling abilities.

A pure support-type spirit qi professional's value could only be exhibited in a group with many people.

Even if Gao Feng did seek out a teammate to fight a duo battle with, he would only be a burden to them.

If Gao Feng's partner could not take on two opponents at once, their opponents could just target and eliminate Gao Feng first.

After all, a pure support-type spirit qi professional was easy prey if he did not have many self-protection techniques. He could only continue living if his teammates protected him.

Given that Gao Feng was the only direct descendant of a top faction, it should be easy for him to find a powerful teammate for fighting a duo battle with him.

However, doing so would be meaningless for Gao Feng.

After Gao Feng became Cicada Song's disciple, many top guild clubs approached him to try and recruit him.

However, he had turned all of them away.

He knew he was only invited because he was Cicada Song's disciple.

Otherwise, it was rare for there to be a support-type spirit qi professional, even in a team of five members.

With a support-type spirit qi professional, there would only be four usable team members.

Unless all four members were strong enough, Gao Feng would not be able to be fully useful.

Thus, Gao Feng had no choice but to give up on the idea of participating in the S Tournament.

This had always been a sore spot for Gao Feng.

Now that an opportunity was suddenly presenting itself to Gao Feng, he was so excited that he started blinking continuously.

Gao Feng did not know if there were still available places in Lin Yuan's Dome Guild Club's main team.

Even if there was no place in the main team, he was also willing to be part of the reserve team.

After all, he was so familiar with Lin Yuan, and he could ask to be put in more often.

To Gao Feng, there was not much difference between being part of the main and reserve teams.

Lin Yuan was momentarily silent when he heard what Gao Feng said.

He had intended to invite Gao Feng to join Dome Guild Club after the Guard Ye Banquet ended.

But at that time, Gao Feng had just become a disciple of royalty and was busier than usual.

Thus, Lin Yuan decided to put off the invite till after the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection.

Yet now, Gao Feng stumbled on the fact that Lin Yuan had a guild club and even asked to join.

Alas, Lin Yuan was hesitant.

This was not because he was questioning Gao Feng's eligibility but because Lin Yuan was unsure if he would even participate in the S Tournament.

Lin Yuan felt that, given his power, he would be a bully if he took part in the S Tournament.

Moreover, disciples of royalty never participated in the S Tournament.

Lin Yuan asked Gao Feng, "I was going to invite you to join the Dome Guild Club. It won't be any problem for you to join. Liu Jie, Listen, Chu Ci, and I are members. Zhang Xiaobai, Xin Ying, Tan Ran, and Lu Pinru, who used to be part of the Extreme Guild Club, are members of Dome now too. Chu Ci and the four ex-members of the Extreme Guild Club make up the reserve team. Do you think it's still appropriate for us to participate in the S Tournament?"

Gao Feng was stunned by what Lin Yuan said.

He's right! I'm a disciple of royalty now. Everyone at the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection will know my identity. From now on, it will be inappropriate for me to participate in the S Tournament. 𝒩eew updates 𝒂t n𝒐vel/bi𝒏.com

But now, Gao Feng felt rather indignant.

Why can't disciples of royalty participate in the S Tournament? There isn't such a rule laid out by the Guild Alliance! I might be a disciple of royalty, but I'm only 23 years old! The Guild Alliance's rules state that any young expert in the Radiance Federation below the age of 30 can participate in the S Tournament!

Moreover, the popular participants of the S Tournament only retire at 30 years old. Long Tao, Shi Xu, and the rest are all stars of the S Tournament. Long Tao and Shi Xu are members of the Radiance Hundred Sequence but are allowed to join. How are disciples of royalty any different? I won't be able to defeat either of them.

Thus, Gao Feng replied, "Friend, I think it's doable. We're still within the eligible range of age. So why can't we join? I'm only 23 years old this year and should be able to take part for another seven years! Those few A-level guild clubs have always dominated the S Tournament. Dome can do whatever it can. With you and Chu Ci participating, our team has the youngest average age of members. It's time for the S Tournament to change and for there to be some new sparks!"

Lin Yuan had felt that it would be no different from bullying if he took part in the S Tournament with his current power. But there was also no need for him to completely back out.

Firstly, his age fit the acceptable age range.

Secondly, Zhang Xiaobai, Lu Pinru, Tan Ran, and Xin Ying had been training non-stop for the past few months with the goal of participating in the S Tournament. If Dome did not participate in the S Tournament, it would be unfair to the four of them.

Thus, Lin Yuan said, "Okay! We'll take part! After the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection ends, every time will return to calm. At that time, we'll choose Dome's final main team member! Zhang Xiaobai, Xin Ying, Lu Pinru, and Tan Ran will take part in the elimination rounds. We'll decide on our next step after we get through to the round-robin."

Lin Yuan felt that given the four of their powers, it would be easy for them to get through the elimination rounds.

Although the four of them had only comprehended one Willpower Rune, they were all B-rank spirit qi professionals.

Although Lu Pinru used to be C-rank, she broke through while she was in the Return from Faraway Mansion.

Chapter 1623: Everyone Rejoices!

Also, after Master Hong Shen evolved their main feys, they had reached Platinum X.

This was the limit that a B-rank spirit qi professional could reach without using the Possess Star Intelligent Dark Clouds to roll grades.

When Lin Yuan said that they were going to register, Gao Feng patted Lin Yuan's shoulder and said, "Lin Yuan, to tell you the truth, this is a childhood dream come true for me! Thank you!"

Lin Yuan smiled back at Gao Feng and said, "There's nothing to be thankful for! Other people might not think that support-type spirit qi professionals are worth much, but you are a treasure to our team!"

!

Lin Yuan and Gao Feng were both free at the moment, unlike An He, who was in a rush to increase his power after obtaining resources.

This was because Lin Yuan and Gao Feng had already reached their peak battle state.

Zong Ze and Gu Lang arrived together in the evening, and Liu Jie returned not long after them.

An He had finished unexpectedly quickly.

After the six of them greeted each other, they sat soberly around a table in one of the pavilions on the Submerged Flood Dragon Lake.

Blue Lotus, Blood New Moon, White Phoenix, and the Mother of Bloodbath watched the young men speaking at the center of the Submerged Flood Dragon Lake.

They felt that this conversation seemed like a version of the imperial meeting with younger members.

The six young men were all considered the cream of the crop of the Radiance Federation.

There were only five Radiance Envoy spots.

That elderly man also had a direct descendant who was definitely going to participate in the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection.

Thus, it would be impossible for all six of them to become Radiance Envoys.

But even if they did not become Radiance Envoys, they would still become members of the royalty in the future and protect the Radiance Federation.

With such an outstanding batch of young people, the Radiance Federation's future was sure to be bright.

…

Wind was always freezing at the highest peaks.

Although it was still warm and sunny on the ground with blooming almond flowers, the winds at high altitudes could still cut through iron boards.

The real imperial meeting would last for two days.

Lin Yuan and the rest were preparing for battle.

However, this year's Radiance Hundred Sequence selection was going to be much more crowded than in previous years.

In previous years, the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection took place in the Radiance Sacred Hall, and spectatorship was controlled. DiiScôver 𝒏𝒆w stori𝒆s on no/𝒗/e()

Regular citizens could not watch the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection, only the final ten who were chosen and their fight against the current 90 members.

In spite of this, the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection was always much more crowded than the S Tournament.

Only the S Tournament's finals and Allstar Match attracted crowds that could be compared to that of the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection.

But this year, the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection's structure had changed, and this was also the first year that it would be taking place on Star Web, where it would be broadcast to the public.

Throughout the selection, any citizen of the Radiance Federation who had access to Star Web would be able to watch.

Normally, the people who were chosen came from those who had already been picked by 36 cities' City Lords.

For example, Chu Ci caught Ling Xiao's attention back in Redbud City.

Some of the City Lords' chosen people did not have favorable reputations in other cities. Still, they were considered geniuses in their home cities and represented their city's best and brightest.

As such, there were always people wildly rejoicing when people from their city were chosen to be part of the Radiance Hundred Sequence.

A month ago, the cities had sent out their chosen members and drummed up a huge commotion.

Besides the people the cities sent, some powerful members of the Guild Alliance used their connections to be sponsored as contenders for the selection.

There were also people like Lin Yuan who made a name for themselves and managed to be eligible of their own accord.

The Radiance Sacred Hall strictly controlled the eligible contestants.

Hence, there were usually around 10,000 contestants for every Radiance Hundred Sequence selection.

But this year, the eligibility was relaxed to accommodate the fact that the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection was taking place on Star Web this year.

In order to encourage the younger generation to expand their horizons and find the motivation to push forward, any person below 20 years old who owned Silver feys and those between 20 and 30 years old who owned Gold feys were allowed to participate.

However, every contestant's personality and background were also checked thoroughly.

Their traits would be compared against the list of qualities that the members of the Radiance Hundred Sequence should have that the Radiance Federation's royalty came up with.

There were special teams on Star Web who designed the battleground for the selection.

They designed a 1,000 square meter space with several open dimensional rifts.

All the contestants would enter the space together.

This method of testing was more comprehensive than just fighting on a stage because it would only test a person's combat abilities.

Meanwhile, this style of testing would also test a person's adaptive abilities, survival instincts, battle knowledge, and even interpersonal skills.

These abilities might not be as direct of a way to test one's strength, but they were all necessary.

This was the reason the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection was mostly made up of healing-type spirit qi professionals.

A team would have a higher chance of surviving in the wild than individuals did.

Moreover, it was easy to tell one's true colors if they saw their teammates as competitors.

The Radiance Hundred Sequence selection was the Radiance Federation's way of passing on its legacy.

The members of royalty were all taking this change in structure seriously.

With Mystic Moon's breakthrough, Star Web had improved, and the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection's location was even more complete.

At that moment, every post on Star Web was about this matter.

Even the Purchase With No Loss store was not excluded from this.

At that moment, an elderly man watching the selection inside the Radiance Sacred Hall saw an elegant man appear behind him.

The elderly man turned and said, "Long Lamplight, how can you be in the Radiance Sacred Hall at such a time? Are you here to check on the space like I am? I have to admit that the design is pretty good! The dimensional rifts will open at the same time and will remain open for 72 hours. Three days of struggle will be the only way to push these imps to their limits."

Ji Changdeng's lips twitched.

The old man usually seemed amiable and friendly, but he was actually a Pandora's Box.

Chapter 1624: Radiance Envoy, Liu Yifan!

There was so much more to him than what met the eye!

The Moon Empress had been the one who suggested the change in this year's Radiance Hundred Sequence structure, but Liu Wencheng was the one who was truly behind the design.

Even the creation of the battleground and the types of dimensional rifts that were opened were all spearheaded by Liu Wencheng.

The Radiance Hundred Sequence selection used to be over in a day, but it took three days now.

!

But there was no denying that the more danger a person was in, the less able they would be to keep their true colors to themselves.

People could manage their emotions and put on a facade for a day.

When Mystic Moon's power increased, Star Web's sensitivity was raised significantly as well because he was in charge of Star Web's spiritual sensitivity.

Now, being injured on Star Web would feel the same as being injured in real life.

Many people had discovered this while fighting on the Celestial Stairway.

Luckily, Star Web's sensitivity could be manually adjusted.

If it was adjusted to 10%, one would not feel weak even in a near-dead state.

However, in order to make their live streams exciting and generate more popularity for themselves, many Star Web hosts set their sensitivity to 100%.

As a result, they could not act as cavalierly as they used to while fighting.

Although dying on Star Web would not affect their true selves, they would still feel the pain of a gaping wound and their vitality slipping away.

As such, none of the hosts dared to drop their guard for fear of experiencing what it would be like to die.

The hosts who could not take it anymore would lower the sensitivity.

However, this added a layer of excitement for the spectators of the fights.

Now, they liked watching the hosts be driven into a corner after taking several hits, and the live-streaming rooms with the most comments were also the ones that had 100% sensitivity.

Many second-level Star Web hosts pushed themselves to turn up the sensitivity to 100% and went viral.

In less than two days, there was an unspoken fact known amongst Star Web hosts that those who did not set their sensitivity to 100% would inevitably lose a good portion of their audience.

The members of royalty had expected that adding the sensitivity setting to Star Web would lead to people going full throttle.

Now that the Class 6 abyss dimensional rift had opened in the Radiance Federation, every spirit qi professional would be able to enter it to develop themselves.

The Radiance Federation had also set itself firmly against the Freedom Federation.

This was the beginning of an era where spirit qi professionals had to possess some level of bloodthirst.

At 100% sensitivity, the Star Web fights would feel like they have real stakes of life or death.

This would train their entire population.

Presently, the sensitivity could be weakened, and most of the Star Web users could continue to watch the Star Web hosts with blissful naivety.

However, they had no idea that it was decided at an imperial meeting that after the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection, only those of advanced age would be allowed to set their sensitivity below 60%.

Everyone else's sensitivity would be automatically locked at 100%.

This would truly change Star Web into another world where spirit qi professionals would be able to revive themselves constantly.

Ji Changdeng shook his head and said, "Wencheng, I'm in no mood to admire the design. Those brats are in for a hard time with you at the helm. 10,000 square meters, 20 dimensional rifts, and three days. The alien beasts will have taken up every corner of the space in just half a day. Wencheng, are you trying to induce the true meaning of being a hero from this event or test to see how dark the human heart can actually be?"

"The true meaning of being a hero won't emerge from this Radiance Hundred Sequence selection. Black and Cicada Song's disciple Gao Feng will definitely tamper with the balance. Do you remember what Cicada Song said during the imperial meeting? He said that the Alleviating Wind is no longer the strongest support-type sacred source lifeform and that the title now belongs to his disciple's sacred source lifeform!

"Can you imagine how powerful Gao Feng's sacred source lifeform must be for the humble Cicada Song to say such a thing? Black and Gao Feng will eventually be fighting for the sake of the Radiance Federation, and they're the true heroes of the selection. As for the darkness of the human heart, I'm sure we'll see a fair share of that," replied Liu Wencheng.

Ji Changdeng nodded.

In order for a person to achieve something, they could choose to attack their teammates at the right time.

But if they did this, they would be crossing over to the dark side.

Dangers would abound during the battle. It would be impossible for anyone to get any sleep during that time.

If a person did not sleep for three days straight, their exhaustion would lead them to act on instinct.

There had been people within the Radiance Sacred Hall who had failed in terms of character and were rejected by Liu Wencheng.

But now that the method of selection had changed, it would be impossible for these people to even appear amongst the Radiance Hundred Sequence anymore.

Ji Changdeng had come to see Liu Wencheng about serious business.

Thus, he took a step forward and said, "All the current Radiance Envoys are out training. Yet, a Freedom Envoy has arrived from the Freedom Federation. The girl leading the group from the Azure Federation is also the current fourth Azure Envoy. Thus, that old man decided to recall Yifan as an added level of protection." Ch𝒆êck out l𝒂t𝒆st 𝒏𝒐v𝒆l𝒔 on nov𝒆l/bin.c𝒐m

Liu Wencheng fell silent for a moment before commenting. "Yifan has evolved his fey with the Barren bloodline in the mystic realm. Now, the other four are lagging slightly behind. You're probably the one who suggested this!"

Ji Changdeng nodded.

"Yifan is a power offense-type spirit qi professional who also has strong defense abilities. He is more suitable than the other four to watch over the situation."

Ji Changdeng's voice was full of pride when he mentioned Liu Yifan.

Liu Yifan was Ji Changdeng's first disciple and An He's senior brother.

Compared to An He, who rarely left the house and had an eccentric temper, there was no doubt that Ji Changdeng placed more hope in Liu Yifan.

But given that An He was his youngest disciple, there was no question that Ji Changdeng spoiled An He slightly more than Liu Yifan.

"An He might be able to take part in next year's Radiance Envoy selection. However, the current Radiance Envoys will have to be the ones to step in during the Major Federation Meeting two years later. Those chosen next year can only be the reserves and gain experience," said Liu Wencheng.

Chapter 1625: Lin Yuan is Called a Fake Fan!

Ji Changdeng nodded.

He felt that the two generations of Radiance Envoys, who had a gap of three years between them, could not be compared.

After all, every batch of chosen Radiance Envoys was regarded as the strongest people of that generation. One year made a great difference!

Ji Changdeng had come to see Liu Wencheng because he wanted to ask him to add a seat for Liu Yifan in the audience stands.

The Radiance Envoys represented the entire Radiance Federation's younger generation, and they were only second to the members of royalty. The words they said carried almost as much weight as the members of royalty.

The change in Star Web's sensitivity affected every Star Web user.

However, this topic's popularity was overtaken by the conversations surrounding the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection.

When Lu Shuang lost to Black, she assumed that her popularity would take a hit.

But instead, she became even more popular than ever.

This allowed her to understand the extent of Black's popularity.

Lu Shuang had been tracking Black's movements of late.

Ever since he fought against her, he had now shown up on Star Web and had not even accepted an interview after the fight.

As Black's exclusive reporter, Tian Ningning also had not released any private interviews that she did with him.

Through this, Lu Shuang became aware that Black could not care less about his popularity.

Nonetheless, Black's persisting popularity proved how charismatic and alluring he was.

Lu Shuang felt that part of Black's attraction came from how mysterious he was.

Even after deep pondering, Lu Shuang could not figure out how to replicate that same shroud of mystery.

This was because his mystery stemmed from the string of miracles that he created.

He had beaten all 100 levels on Star Tower, made it to the Celestial Stairway, become god-class, and even taken the record for the most consecutive wins on the Celestial Stairway, replacing the one set by a Radiance Envoy.

Black's talent only intensified his mystique.

Moreover, no one knew what his feys were.

Although so much time had passed, he was still the seventh most trending search topic, while his eight-tailed cat took the ninth spot. Ch𝒆êck out l𝒂t𝒆st 𝒏𝒐v𝒆l𝒔 on nov𝒆l/bin.c𝒐m

Lu Shuang had never seen someone remain on the most-searched list for so long.

At that moment, Lu Shuang was not fighting on the Celestial Stairway because she realized that talking about Black in her live stream brought a lot more income.

River Tea: Shuang, do you think that Black will be able to successfully become a member of the Radiance Hundred Sequence?

Lu Shuang immediately replied, "Let's go! Bets are starting in my live-streaming room! I bet that Black will not only be able to become a member of the Radiance Hundred Sequence but that he will even manage to become Sequence #90!"

Lu Shuang turned on the betting function in her live-streaming room.

But even after some time passed, not many people placed bets against her.

Clearly, the general consensus was that Black would be able to attain Sequence #90.

Lu Shuang had fought against many members of the Radiance Hundred Sequence and even won against the top 20 members.

Everyone now saw Black as being powerful enough to become one of the top 20 members of the Radiance Hundred Sequence.

Lu Shuang was unaffected by the lack of bets against her as they would all end up losing.

Another comment appeared.

Devil in Heaven: Shuang, I want to hear you talk about Black's eight-tailed cat.

Lu Shuang had already replied to this matter many times.

Devil in Heaven was one of Lu Shuang's old fans, and people always showered her with gifts when she addressed the matter.

"Black's eight-tailed cat reflected the Exquisite Rhino Giraffe's spiritual attack. So, it definitely is a spiritual-type fey! Given Black's age, there's no way that he's an A-rank spirit qi professional. This means that he has rolled grades! That eight-tailed cat is Diamond X/Fantasy V. It is not a Myth Breed fey like what some analysts said. This, I can be sure of!"

After chatting about Black for a while, the comments about the Radiance Hundred Sequence started to increase in quantity.

Unplanned Meeting: This Radiance Hundred Sequence selection has a completely different structure from the past! It's so cool that it's being broadcast on Star Web! Shuang, you should live stream then! I will definitely watch it! According to the official information, it will be broadcast from different angles. We will focus on Black. I don't believe that Black will be able to refrain from summoning a single fey throughout the entire Radiance Hundred Sequence selection!

Lu Shuang's eyes lit up, and she replied, "Good idea! The Radiance Hundred Sequence selection will be starting tomorrow. I will be live-streaming from Black's angle. Please come and watch! If Black does well, don't forget to leave me gifts!"

This immediately triggered another wave of comments.

All a Dream: It's so shameless for a host to ask for gifts!

Soundless Laughter: Shuang has been led to the dark side! She's been trying to gain gifts by taking advantage of Black! Although you don't act like a woman, you are still a woman. I'll give you gifts daily if you manage to woo him into your clutches!

Moonlight: Go and grab snacks! All the snacks on Star Web have become more expensive! If you don't grab them now, you won't have anything to eat when you're watching tomorrow!

Every citizen of the Radiance Federation was looking forward to the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection!

The 100 Buildings near the Radiance Sacred Hall were now open and filled with the chosen participants from the major cities.

The 100 Buildings was now a collection of the Radiance Federation's best and brightest.

All of them were waiting for tomorrow to come.

A young man staying in one of the single suites in the 100 Buildings was buttoning his collar.

The silver mask he was wearing hid his facial features.

However, his bone structure was so exceptional that he still exuded a magnificent beauty despite wearing the mask.

This person was Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan did not expect to have fans amongst the major cities' chosen participants.

They were all wearing silver masks, and everyone besides Lin Yuan who passed by them mistook them for Black.

After Genius' bloodline transformed, the silver mask also changed significantly.

When he returned to the accommodation, a girl had even sneered at him and called him one of Black's fake fans because his mask was wrong.

After buttoning his collar, Lin Yuan thought, By now, Liu Jie has probably arrived in the Radiance Sacred Hall and is going through the ranking!

Chapter 1626: The Test Before the Selection!

Liu Jie had actually completed the Radiance Hundred Sequence ranking and had come in at Sequence #30, reclaiming his title of Heart of the Insect Swarm.

Liu Jie could regain his ranking because it was an honor that the Radiance Sacred Hall bestowed on heroes.

When the Insect Queen had been in a near-dead state that not even the Bamboo Monarch could heal, Liu Jie had no choice but to pull out of the Radiance Hundred Sequence.

Liu Jie had been so depressed he hid from the rest of the world and became a hermit.

!

But now that the Insect Queen had healed, it was only natural for Liu Jie to return to the Radiance Hundred Sequence.

Liu Jie's return would undoubtedly make this year's Radiance Hundred Sequence selection even more exciting.

Sequence #91 to Sequence #100 should be the ones to fight against the new contenders.

But now that Liu Jie beat out the original Sequence #30 Lan Baobao, the Sequences below Sequence #30 all shifted down a spot.

There could only be 100 members of the Radiance Hundred Sequence.

Thus, the original Sequence #90 would now be part of the fray as well, and there would be 11 members of the Radiance Hundred Sequence taking on the new contenders during the selection.

This undoubtedly made this year's selection even more competitive.

Due to Star Web's update, Liu Wencheng had decided that this year's Radiance Hundred Sequence would be taking place on Star Web.

Every member of the Radiance Hundred Sequence was eyeing the Radiance Envoy selection that would be taking place a year later.

Although many of them felt they would definitely fail, they would still fight for the chance to be a Radiance Knight.

Those who had been keeping their true powers under wraps would be showing their hands now.

This was because only the top 30 members of the Radiance Hundred Sequence were eligible to become a Radiance Envoy or Radiance Knight.

Liu Jie was aware of this and thus made sure that he just made the cut at Sequence #30.

But now, Liu Jie knew that Lin Yuan was going to announce his identity as the Moon Empress' disciple and that he was Black at the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection.

Since Lin Yuan was going to reveal how outstanding he truly was, Liu Jie had to follow him as his retainer knight.

Liu Jie was not intending to hide his power at the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection like he did last time.

Rather, he was going to try and attain Sequence #1.

The Radiance Hundred Sequence's Sequence #1 had remained tightly in the grip of a girl.

Many members of the Radiance Hundred Sequence had missed out on the chance to compete to become a Radiance Envoy but had also reached the age limit.

At that time, they would exhibit their power.

The best opponents for these people would be Sequence #1 of the Radiance Hundred Sequence, Xia Qing.

Three years ago, despite not having even reached 20 years old, Xia Qing had passed the selection and become a member of the Radiance Hundred Sequence.

At that time, she had been a black horse that appeared like a force of nature.

Before her appearance, there had been no news of her on Star Web.

In her second year, when she was Sequence #91, she beat out Sequence #1 of her batch Li Ang. As a result, he fell to Sequence #2.

From the moment she reached the top, Xia Qing requested to change her title from Lack of Oxygen to Fable.

After her title changed, Xia Qing said, "I have to become a Radiance Envoy."

The meaning behind her title did not have to be analyzed.

News about Fable caused a serious buzz amongst that batch of Radiance Hundred Sequence members.

Many of them had been curious about Xia Qing's identity, and Liu Jie was no exception.

Many guild clubs had sent her invitations, including the Rhine Guild Club and Dragon Gate Guild Club.

Almost every A-level guild club had sent her an invite.

Given her identity as Sequence #1, she would boost any team.

Moreover, she was powerful enough that Li Ang could not even hold out more than 20 moves against her.

Li Ang had summoned four feys, while Xia Qing only summoned two.

Besides special circumstances like what happened to Liu Jie, the other members of the Radiance Hundred Sequence usually contracted three feys and more as well as some source-type lifeforms.

Thus, Xia Qing had not used her full power against Li Ang yet had been able to crush him.

Liu Jie had been curious about Xia Qing's background. DiiScôver 𝒏𝒆w stori𝒆s on no/𝒗/e()

She did not come from any veteran or top faction. Otherwise, those within the Radiance Hundred Sequence who came from top and veteran factions would have recognized her.

Moreover, Xia Qing was a recluse.

Besides the annual Radiance Hundred Sequence ranking, she only appeared when she had to announce matters for the Radiance Sacred Hall.

Liu Jie had been unaware of Xia Qing's background, but he learned about it after becoming Night Leaning Moon's disciple.

It turned out that she was the granddaughter of that old man.

During this year's ranking, Liu Jie had focused on her so that he would be able to properly test himself against her.

There was a stage at the front of the Radiance Sacred Hall's main hall.

At that moment, Liu Wencheng was standing on that stage.

There were five seats below the stage that were usually empty as they were reserved for the Radiance Envoys.

There were 100 seats behind the five seats, and Liu Jie was seated on one of them.

Normally, the Radiance Hundred Sequence members had their designated seats and could not sit anywhere else.

However, there was one day a year when there was an exception, and that was during the ranking.

It was only on this day that there was free seating.

Bai Hao, who was seated next to Liu Jie, asked him, "Jie, why do I feel like you're different than usual? There is a strong fire in your eyes! Are you planning on climbing even higher?"

Liu Jie nodded.

Wang Fan rubbed his hands together and said, "Bai Hao, out of the three of us, your rank is the lowest now. If you put in real effort, you can break past Sequence #79. Won't it feel good to reach Sequence #50 and above?"

Bai Hao shrugged.

He was not interested in his Radiance Hundred Sequence ranking.

Bai Hao was well aware that his feys were rather unorthodox. They had explosive power but were not made for endurance battles.

After three moves, they would be as good as useless.

Given his unique battle style, he was not suited to become a Radiance Knight or Radiance Envoy.

Chapter 1627: Liu Jie is Stunned By a Question!

Thus, Bai Hao did not care about his Radiance Hundred Sequence ranking.

When Sparrow Voice Loli Goddess had come under fire due to the misunderstanding over the Warm Sun Fund, Bai Hao had not been able to provide any practical help.

All he could do was voice his support on Star Web.

As a member of the Radiance Hundred Sequence, positioning himself directly against those attacking Sparrow Voice Loli Goddess resulted in him appearing on Star Web's most-searched topics list.

!

But the next day, the tides had been turned.

Before Bai Hao could jump for joy, he realized that Sparrow Voice Loli Goddess had stopped live-streaming since then.

After going several days without Sparrow Voice Loli Goddess' live streams, all of his thoughts surrounded how she had been attacked and under suspicion.

She must have been so upset!

Bai Hao badly wanted to comfort her, but she had not even shown a strand of hair on Star web since then. Hence, he could not comfort her no matter how much he wanted to.

Sparrow Voice Loli Goddess had revealed that she was acquainted with Black.

Bai Hao had even thought about trying to contact Sparrow Voice Loli Goddess through Black so that he would be able to comfort her privately.

But now that the Radiance Hundred Sequence ranking was taking place, he had no choice but to invest his efforts into increasing his power.

If he used his full power, there was a chance that he would be able to become one of the top 50 members.

If his enemies pinpointed his weaknesses, they might also be able to kick him down from his position of Sequence #79.

Sequence #91 to #100 had only joined last year, and many of them were strong.

There were even a few of them who had the potential to reach the top 50.

Although Bai Hao was currently Sequence #79, many sharks lurked below him.

The oldest of these people were mostly 26 or 27 years old, while the youngest ones were 22 or 23 years old.

Given their ages, they were all eligible to fight for a chance to be Radiance Envoys.

Thus, all of them were going to reveal their true powers.

If Bai Hao did not increase his power, he would be humiliated if he was kicked out of the Radiance Hundred Sequence.

Thus, Bai Hao decided to put off asking Black about Sparrow Voice Loli Goddess' contact details until the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection ended.

"Forget about the top 50. I just need to keep myself in the top 80."

Bai Hao looked at Liu Jie with gratitude and said, "Jie, where are all of your recent riches coming from? You lent me 80,000 Radiance dollars at once and even gave me spiritual ingredients that would be difficult to purchase with money. Do you still have enough left for yourself?"

Wang Fan said, "Jie, I used the spiritual ingredients you gave me but didn't spend the money. You managed to make it to Sequence #30. If you continue trying to climb the ranks, you'll definitely be able to fight for a chance to become a Radiance Envoy! You have much more potential than Bai Hao and me. We are even considering leaving our resources to you so you can use them to increase your power!"

Before Liu Jie got to know Lin Yuan, he shared resources with Wang Fan and Bai Hao.

If there was any time when one of the three needed money, the other two would not hold back.

Liu Jie had also received significant help from Wang Fan and Bai Hao in the past.

Without them, the Insect Queen would have been able to gain the rare insect-species feys that were the Lightning Gathering Moths.

After Liu Jie became Lin Yuan's retainer, he could not use Lin Yuan's resources to help Bai Hao and Wang Fan. Ch𝒆êck out l𝒂t𝒆st 𝒏𝒐v𝒆l𝒔 on nov𝒆l/bin.c𝒐m

But after he became Night Leaning Moon's disciple, she gave him a mountain of resources.

Lin Yuan and Night Leaning Moon had prepared all the resources that Liu Jie would need to increase his power.

Thus, Liu Jie gave all the resources he had on hand to Wang Fan and Bai Hao two weeks ago to help them to increase their power.

When he heard how concerned Wang Fan and Bai Hao were for him, Liu Jie smiled and said, "I no longer need resources to increase my power. The resources will be better off used to help the two of you increase your powers."

Liu Jie's words were so filled with confidence that he seemed almost pompous.

What did he mean by no longer needing resources to increase his power?

Wang Fan and Bai Hao had not seen the Insect Queen in a long time.

Could it be that the Insect Queen had evolved to Diamond X/Fantasy V?

Wang Fan and Bai Hao hastily shook their heads.

That level of power would be that of a disciple of royalty.

Only six months had passed since the Insect Queen's roots had healed, and there was no way that it could have evolved so rapidly.

At that moment, Shi Xu said, "Liu Jie, you were Black's partner in all the duo Celestial Stairway battles that he participated in. You know him, right?"

Liu Jie turned toward Shi Xu and nodded.

Liu Jie knew that Shi Xu, Long Tao, Zhao Xiaochun, Fang Duoduo, and the rest had all brushed past death alongside Lin Yuan in the dimensional rift and that they were all his friends.

"Yes, I know Black."

Shi Xu immediately slapped Liu Jie's shoulder and asked, "Then, do you know what kind of fey Black's eight-tailed cat is? When I fought abyss demons with him, he used two plant-type feys. One of them was healing-type, while the other could unleash a lethal sea of flowers. I've never seen him use cat-species feys!"

Shi Xu's words attracted the attention of numerous members of the Radiance Hundred Sequence who were close by.

Almost every member of the Radiance Hundred Sequence had watched the match between Black and Lu Shuang, but none of them were able to figure out the secret of the phantom image of the eight-tailed cat.

Lu Shuang's Diamond X/Fantasy IV Earth-Walking Witch Snake and Diamond X/Fantasy V Exquisite Rhino Giraffe's powers exceeded the combat powers of the Radiance Hundred Sequence.

Although all of them hid their powers, their true powers still did not reach Lu Shuang's level.

Every member of the Radiance Hundred Sequence was younger than 30 years old, while Lu Shuang was already 37 years old.

With such a large age gap, there was no way to make a fair comparison.

After another seven or eight years, the current members of the Radiance Hundred Sequence would be able to reach the same level of power as Lu Shuang or even become more powerful than her.

During the Starlight Dueling Ground battle, Black used an unknown tactic to defeat Lu Shuang.

Black's performance and powers caused a commotion in the Radiance Hundred Sequence's group chat.

All of the members were certain that Black would become a member of the Radiance Hundred Sequence and that Liu Wencheng would soon add him to the group chat.

A few of them had already begun to discuss what his title would be.

Shi Xu's question left Liu Jie stunned.

Chapter 1628: Is It That Delicious?

Liu Jie had been training in the Spirit Guards' land and immediately joined the discussion with Lin Yuan, Gao Feng Zong Ze, Gu Lang, and An He when he returned.

After the discussion, he received Liu Wencheng's order and headed to the Radiance Sacred Hall.

He barely had time to eat or drink in the two weeks that he had been in seclusion.

Each time he had the chance to eat, he would eat as quickly as if he was training in the wild and finish within three minutes.

This was so he would be able to spend more time increasing his power.

As such, he had not had the time to log onto Star Web and learn about recent events.

Because of this, Shi Xu's question befuddled Liu Jie.

Eight-tailed cat? Could he be referring to Genius, who spent its day clinging and nuzzling up to Lin Yuan?

Liu Jie was not a Creation Master and could not see a fey's abilities and exclusive skills. But he was able to tell what their grades were.

In Liu Jie's memory, Genius had been Diamond I/Fantasy III when he last saw it. Rêađ lat𝒆st ch𝒂pters on n𝒐/v/𝒆/l(b)i𝒏.c𝒐m

Moreover, Liu Jie had assumed that Genius was a support-type fey because it had used Connected Tails on him.

Wang Fan had mentioned the fight between Black and Lu Shuang.

Before the Insect Queen's roots were injured, Liu Jie had encountered Lu Shuang on the Celestial Stairway in the past.

At that time, she had not attained the level of power that she had now.

Liu Jie was skilled at formation battles because of the Insect Queen's combat skills.

However, the battles on the Celestial Stairway took place at random locations, and there were no bunkers at the locations.

Hence, it was very difficult to succeed by using formations.

Liu Jie had lost to Lu Shuang and was well aware of how powerful the Exquisite Rhino Giraffes and two Earth Walking Witch Snakes were.

If not for the fact that they were currently in the Radiance Sacred Hall, Liu Jie would have immediately logged onto Star Web to watch the battle between Black and Lu Shuang.

Genius was a support-type fey.

Liu Jie was shocked when he heard that Genius managed to defend against one of Lu Shuang's full-strength attacks.

Liu Jie suddenly realized that he really did not understand Lin Yuan.

He did not even know Lin Yuan as well as Genius.

Since he did not have the answers, he could not give Shi Xu a reply.

Moreover, Liu Jie would never expose the details of Lin Yuan's feys.

Luckily, Shi Xu had only asked because he had never seen Black's cat-species fey before.

Liu Jie nodded and said, "Black does have a cat-species fey called Genius."

Liu Jie's words were like bait that hooked the others' interest.

If Liu Wencheng was not currently standing on the stage, all the members of the Radiance Hundred Sequence would have crowded around Liu Jie.

At first, they all assumed that Liu Jie would continue talking.

But Liu Jie did not go on to mention the eight-tailed cat.

Shi Xu blinked and thought, Hello? Are you going to stop at merely telling us the cat-species fey's name? What's the point in us knowing that it's called Genius? What about its abilities and exclusive skills? We want to know how it managed to block one of Lu Shuang's full-power attacks!

Li Ang was also extremely curious and was about to ask a question when a short-haired girl dressed in silver half-armor walked in.

Once she walked in, all discussions that were going on stopped, and she became the center of attention.

Li Ang stared fearfully at the girl, and all his curiosity about Black vanished. He still remembered fighting her three years ago when he was 22 years old, and she was 19 years old.

During the fight, she had toyed with him and had no intention of retaliating against him.

That battle had ripped apart Li Ang's pride.

He had been training doggedly for the past three years so that he would be able to clash against her again at this year's Radiance Hundred Sequence ranking.

He was not expecting to overturn his embarrassing defeat. He just wanted to see if he had managed to close the gap between them in the past three years.

Long Tao walked over and sat next to Bai Hao before asking Liu Jie, "All of us have three chances to challenge. Once the last chance is used, our ranks will be confirmed. We will have to wait to be challenged if we want to change ranks in the future. If you want to climb the ranks, why don't I challenge you so that you can defeat me and take my rank? This will save you one of your own challenges, and you will be able to make it further."

There were many rules within the Radiance Hundred Sequence.

Those of higher ranks could challenge those of lower ranks at any time, but those of lower ranks could only challenge those ten ranks above them.

As such, if one hid too much of their power and ended up in the bottom 60 ranks, they would only be able to reach the top 30 at best unless someone of a higher rank challenged them.

But once a challenge failed, they could still continue to challenge until they used up his three chances.

This would give the challenger time to learn about their opponent and come up with a battle strategy.

Long Tao had spoken softly, and only Bai Hao and Liu Jie had heard him.

Astonishment spread across Bai Hao's face.

What was Long Tao saying? He implied that he would not be able to defeat Liu Jie and wanted to help Liu Jie.

Long Tao was Sequence #3 of the Radiance Hundred Sequence and was the Young Leader of Coiling Dragon's Valley.

He was always cruel and standoffish toward outsiders and only smiled at his teammates.

When did Liu Jie and Long Tao become so well-acquainted?

Additionally, Long Tao seemed to be certain that Liu Jie would be able to defeat him.

One could not put up too much pretense during the Radiance Hundred Sequence rankings because Liu Wencheng forbade it.

When they gathered together at Zong Ze's place, Long Tao, Li Xuan, Gao Feng, Zong Ze, Gu Lang, and the rest had discovered that Liu Jie was the Night Empress' disciple and that the Guard Ye Banquet had been held for his benefit.

The Radiance Envoy selection would be taking place next year.

At that time, all of them were going to try out, including Liu Jie.

Liu Jie nodded and said, "Thank you, I do want to see how far I can go!"

Liu Jie's gaze fell on Xia Qing, and shock soon appeared in his eyes.

Zhao Xiaochun had taken a seat next to Xia Qing and handed her a braised pig trotter.

Zhao Xiaochun herself was holding and happily gnawing on another pig trotter. It seemed delicious.

Chapter 1629: The Ranking Begins!

Not only did Xia Qing not reject Zhao Xiaochun's offer, but she received the pig trotter without hesitation and started munching on it.

Although Xia Qing ate much more elegantly than Zhao Xiaochun, she was not any slower.

It was at this moment that Liu Jie suddenly recalled the rumor that Zhao Xiaochun sometimes brought along a wingman with her when she terrorized hotel buffets.

Could it be that Xia Qing was the wingman?

Suddenly, the image of Xia Qing that had been built up in their minds crumbled.

Shi Xu was the only one who remained calm.

Ever since he opened the House of Enviable Fragrance, Shi Xu had essentially placed shackles on Zhao Xiaochun, and she no longer frequented other restaurants.

For the sake of love, Shi Xu went back to being the Working Emperor so he could earn enough to feed her.

During this time, he noticed that Zhao Xiaochun often brought Xia Qing with her to the house of Enviable Fragrance.

After getting into a relationship with Zhao Xiaochun, Shi Xu realized that she ate continuously because of a source-type lifeform she had contracted.

By eating, she was increasing the source-type lifeform's power.

Evidently, this was the case for Xia Qing as well.

There was once when Xia Qing was feasting in the House of Enviable Fragrance that a strange noise appeared from within her body.

It sounded like the low growl of a beast.

But Shi Xu had never seen Xia Qing summon a beast-type fey that made such a noise during battle.

Xia Qing hid it too well!

Liu Wencheng stood on the stage and gazed with pride at the 100 people below him who represented the best and brightest of the Radiance Federation's younger generation.

Inside the hall, a large bronze clock rang out as it struck 12.

Every member of the Radiance Hundred Sequence straightened this posture and looked at Liu Wencheng.

At that moment, the Radiance Hundred Sequence's ranking was going to officially begin.

Liu Wencheng announced, "In the past, the rankings took place on battle stages. That structure was unfair to many people's fighting styles. This time, the ranking is going to take place on Star Web.

"Although it will still be one-on-one battles which are disadvantageous for support-type and healing-type spirit qi professionals, the battleground has been expanded to a square kilometer. Grassland, a mountain, a river, trenches, a forest, and a desert can be found within the area. The ground is also uneven.

"With such a battleground, all of you should be able to sufficiently make use of your combat styles. In past years' rankings, all of you always held back. But this time, you can give it your all."

Many members of the Radiance Hundred Sequence inhaled sharply.

Frankly, most of them had guessed that this year's Radiance Hundred Sequence ranking would take place on Star Web. VIssịT n0(v)eL/b(i)(n).𝘤𝑜𝓂 for the best novel reading experience

After Star Web was updated, the members of the Radiance Hundred Sequence had fought on the Celestial Stairway and sparred against their teammates on Star Web with the sensitivity set at maximum so that they would be able to experience what it was like to die over and over.

This realistic experience of dying was completely different from what it used to be like fighting on the Celestial Stairway.

When the Radiance Hundred Sequence members were out on assignments, they often got injured and brushed against death. However, none of them had truly experienced death.

Those who had experienced death recoiled at the memory.

At that moment, Liu Wencheng changed the topic and said, "In February of next year, the Radiance Envoy selection will take place, and the next Radiance Hundred Sequence ranking will only happen in March. Thus, this is your last chance to show what you're capable of. Let me see if you are truly worthy of being part of the Radiance Hundred Sequence!"

While he spoke, Liu Wencheng's gaze fell on Xia Qing and Liu Jie.

Xia Qing was done eating by the time the bronze clock rang and had stored the bones inside a Diamond fey storage box.

On the other hand, Zhao Xiaochun had still been munching away, but her expression soon became stern, and she even stopped chewing.

She was waiting for Liu Wencheng to finish speaking before she continued eating.

When Liu Wencheng noticed this, he shook his head vexedly and said, "Zhao Xiaochun, your source-type lifeform is more special, and you will be in a state of starvation if your belly isn't kept full. I give you permission to finish the pig trotter!"

Zhao Xiaochun blushed and hastily swallowed the food in her mouth.

She would never eat while Liu Wencheng was talking, even if it meant that her source-type lifeform would die.

Liu Wencheng's words lit a fire within the members of the Radiance Hundred Sequence who aimed to become Radiance Envoys.

Even if they knew that they could not become Radiance Envoys, they were determined to become Radiance Knights.

The Radiance Knights received better treatment and resources than the Radiance Hundred Sequence.

More importantly, it was an honor to be a Radiance Envoy!

The Radiance Federation and Freedom Federation would be carrying out their bet two years later.

This new batch of Radiance Envoys and Radiance Knights would be the substitutes.

But even so, all of them wanted to do their part for the Radiance Federation.

Liu Wencheng looked at the Radiance Hundred Sequence members, who were burning with passion, and said, "Now, take out your Star Web Cards and step into the Radiance Sacred Hall in Star Web! Starting from Sequence #1 Xia Qing, the battles will take place going down the ranks."

Inside the Radiance Sacred Hall on Star Web, Xia Qing stood up and said, "I give up my three challenges!'

This challenge structure gave the lower-ranked members of the Radiance Hundred Sequence more chances and also those who were eliminated would have no reason to complain.

If they could not even defeat the three challengers they chose, there was no excuse for their elimination.

After Xia Qing gave up her three chances, Li Ang stood up and said, "I would like to challenge Sequence #1, Xia Qing!"

Li Ang had been doing this every year for the past three years, and everyone had become accustomed to it.

Li Ang walked over to Xia Qing and spoke with resolution.

Chapter 1630: Suck Burst Oxygen Toad 1

"I haven't used my secret weapon since the last battle on the dueling ground. But this time, the Radiance Hundred Sequence is taking place on Star Web. This means that I will be able to use my secret weapon without holding back!"

Xia Qing's expression did not change when she heard what Li Ang said.

But as Li Ang's teammate, Shi Xu was surprised by what he heard, and a smile spread across his face.

Li Ang, you can finally use that move!

!

Besides being part of the Radiance Hundred Sequence, Shi Xu and Li Ang were also part of the Rhine Guild Club's main team.

Both of them knew each other's secret weapons better than anyone else.

Li Ang's words attracted the attention of many Radiance Hundred Sequence members.

Although Xia Qing had defeated Li Ang, he was still Sequence #2 of the Radiance Hundred Sequence.

Many had challenged him, but none had truly defeated him.

Thus, everyone saw his challenge to Xia Qing as performative. This year was no exception!

But there was one person who did not share this sentiment, and that person was Liu Jie. Finnd 𝒏ew chapters on n𝒐ve/lbi𝒏.com

Two years ago, the Insect Queen had entered a near-dead state, and Liu Jie had backed out of the Radiance Hundred Sequence.

As such, he had missed the fight between Li Ang and Xia Qing for the past two years.

Liu Jie's goal was Xia Qing, but he did not know anything about her. If he could watch a fight between Xia Qing and Li Ang, he could see how Li Ang pushed Xia Qing as far as he could.

This would allow Liu Jie to gain an understanding of Xia Qing and make it easier for him to take her on.

Liu Jie was skilled at formation combat and needed to choose the right strategy to be effective during battle.

Long Tao was aware of this, which was why he was willing to give up one of his chances to Liu Jie. Otherwise, Liu Jie would only be left with one challenge chance by the time he reached rank 10.

But now, if Liu Jie could take over Long Tao's spot as Sequence #3, he would have all three of his chances that he could use to try and defeat Xia Qing and claim the throne of Sequence #1 of the Radiance Hundred Sequence.

By challenging her multiple times, he would be able to force her to reveal more of her methods and eventually adapt.

When Li Ang saw how indifferent Xia Qing looked, he took a deep breath and said, "In previous years, I always got the feeling that you didn't use your full power. This year, I hope that you'll take it more seriously!"

Xia Qing lifted her head to look at Li Ang and said, "You aren't powerful enough for me to use my full strength. I didn't even summon my main feys during our previous fights. Don't challenge me three times in a row this year. I won't hide my power this year. I will show you just how large the gap between us is."

Xia Qing's tone became increasingly cold, but there was not a hint of arrogance.

Her words did not leave a bad taste in the mouths of Li Ang and the other members of the Radiance Hundred Sequence.

All of them were just shocked by her power.

It turned out that Xia Qing had not once used her main fey in all of Li Ang and Xia Qing's previous fights and when she was challenged by the previous members of the Radiance Hundred Sequence who had retired after aging out.

Not using one's main fey was different from hiding one's power.

Li Ang said honestly, "If you can defeat me to the point that I'm fully satisfied, I will give up the chances to challenge you a second and third time."

Xia Qing's lips curled upward, and she said, "That's a deal!"

Soon, Liu Wencheng led both of them to the area where the rank fights would take place.

Since the actual locations were randomized, they could not be sure of where they would end up.

Li Ang and Xia Qing found themselves in a trench.

A square kilometer in size was considered neither large nor small.

It was difficult for two people to coincidentally end up at the same spot.

But Li Ang was a power offense-type spirit qi professional and did not need to warm up before fights.

He raised his hand, and three faceless elemental figures rose around him.

Soon a long-eared squirrel with three tails, each a different color, appeared in Li Ang's arms.

Li Ang's looks were plain, and he had been learning the art of wooing girls from Shi Xu.

With his unkempt beard, he came off even drabber.

But when he became serious, his resolute gaze had a unique magnetism to it.

Liu Jie knew what feys Li Ang had.

It was clear that Li Ang had not shown his secret weapon.

Li Ang had and nurtured contracted three source-type lifeforms.

They were completely different from Lin Yuan's Source Sand, Zong Ze's Source Fire, and Wen Yu's Elemental Paper.

Li Ang did not need as much pure elemental energy. After all, he could not invest all of his resources into the three elemental source-type lifeforms.

Li Ang used the easiest method of utilizing his spiritual-type spiritual ingredients and his blood as a medium to guide the three source-type lifeforms' focus toward maturing.

Li Ang's faceless wind, water, and snow element could produce powerful elemental attacks.

They could even change the terrestrial shapes.

As for the squirrel in Li Ang's arms, it was his main fey, the Three Mystic Currents Mouse, that he had not revealed up till now.

The Three Mystic Currents Mouse was also a machine gun for spells.

Its three tails contained a sea of elemental energy.

It would work with the three faceless elements to unleash elemental attacks that could last at least three hours.

Just as Li Ang was about to summon his secret weapon, Xia Qing waved his hand and summoned a large toad with a half-red and half-blue body.

The toad was as large as a small building, and there were air currents and flame patterns on each side of its body.

It was as though the flames would ignite the air currents at any time.

Xia Qing had never summoned this toad-species fey before.

Before Li Ang could summon his secret weapon, Xia Qing exclaimed, "Suck Burst Oxygen Toad, use Flaming Flowing Oxygen!"

The enormous toad opened its mouth and forcefully sucked in a breath.

The air currents in the surroundings seemed to be pushed by a powerful force as they were sucked into the Suck Burst Oxygen Toad's mouth.

Soon, the air current patterns on the Suck Burst Oxygen Toad's body dispersed, and the flame patterns became increasingly active.

The black flames ignited all over the Suck Burst Oxygen Toad's body.

Chapter 1631: You'll See the Difference After This Attack!

Li Ang quickly realized that he could not breathe!

Rather, no matter how hard he inhaled, no oxygen entered his nose.

He immediately realized that after Xia Qing's main fey used its ability, it burned up all the oxygen in the space.

Li Ang needed to put distance between himself and this space so that the airflow around him would be out of the giant toad's reach.

!

Once the air behind him circulated over, he would have access to oxygen again.

Li Ang commanded, "Three Mystic Currents Mouse, use the three of them to create an elemental shield!"

Three walls made of elemental energy immediately appeared in front of Li Ang.

At that moment, Li Ang had not noticed that the Suck Burst Oxygen Toad's eyes had rolled and that it had stopped sucking in the air.

Suddenly, the black flames on the Suck Burst Oxygen Toad grew even brighter.

As the black flames continued to burn the air, the air turned into sticky tar.

Star Web's battleground was a replica of a space in the main world.

The stickiness was a sign that the air was about to disintegrate.

Long Tao choked as he watched the fight between Li Ang and Xia Qing. "The Suck Burst Oxygen Toad has reached Diamond X/Fantasy V! One of Li Ang's faceless elemental figures is at Diamond V/Fantasy III, while the other two are at Diamond IV/Legend.

"Although the Three Mystic Currents Mouse has reached Diamond VII/Fantasy III, every small increase in a Fantasy Breed fey's quality is the equivalent of three or four increases in grade.

"The Suck Burst Oxygen Toad's combat style is also related to elemental energy. The difference in grades between elemental-type feys will have definite implications during battle. Even if Li Ang does have a secret weapon, he won't be able to beat a Diamond X/Fantasy V fey. Just who is Xia Qing?"

While Long Tao was speaking, Li Ang summoned a new fey.

A white-haired four-winged fairy source-type lifeform appeared on Li Ang's shoulder.

Li Ang immediately commanded it to fuse with the three faceless elemental figures.

The appearance of the white-haired fairy source-type lifeform instantly attracted the attention of the other members of the Radiance Hundred Sequence.

Four-winged fairies were not a common sight!

Everyone had expected Li Ang to use his secret weapon in this battle against Xia Qing and had been waiting for it.

But it turned out that Li Ang's secret weapon was the Diamond VIII/Fantasy IV four-winged fairy.

Many people's gazes fell on Liu Jie.

Liu Jie's Insect Queen was also a four-winged fairy.

Long Tao was not the only Creation Master among the Radiance Hundred Sequence members.

At that moment, Sequence #7 Lei Ou said, "I can't believe Li Ang contracted the mutated fairy source-type lifeform Elemental Puppet! Suppose the Element Puppet absorbs the energy inside the Three Mystic Currents Mouse while it's fused with the three faceless elemental figures. In that case, it will definitely be able to produce an attack of Diamond X/Fantasy V level."

Liu Jie shook his head gently.

The full-powered attack of any fey that reached Diamond X/Fantasy V would be of Diamond X/Fantasy V level. They could produce ten consecutive attacks before they were drained.

But the Elemental Puppet that had fused with the faceless elemental figures would be out of energy before it could even produce five attacks.

Li Ang's secret weapon would not be of any help against Xia Qing's Suck Burst Oxygen Toad.

Moreover, Xia Qing was that old man's granddaughter.

As such, the feys she contracted had to have the ability to roll grades during combat.

Hence, it was still up to Xia Qing to give Li Ang the chance to take down the Suck Burst Oxygen Toad.

The Elemental Puppet had fused with the three faceless elemental figures, and representative colors of water, wind, and thunder appeared on its body.

Its originally skinny body was now as rotund as a balloon.

The Elemental Puppet did not stop absorbing elemental energy.

The Three Mystic Currents Mouse removed the seal on its tail, and a large amount of elemental energy flowed into the Elemental Puppet's body.

Just as Li Ang was about to remove the elemental walls to properly clash against Xia Qing, the huge toad with black flames all over its body appeared on the other side of the elemental walls.

The black flames on its body had turned into hundreds of long whips.

When the black whips of flames moved in the air, the viscous air was like the glue that picked up ink.

This scene was like a demon standing by and watching as a knight strengthened himself, not making a move because he still had absolute faith in his victory.

When the elemental walls were removed, Li Ang was stunned by the sight in front of him.

However, Xia Qing did not order the Suck Burst Oxygen Toad to attack. Instead, she said, "Up till now, I have only instructed the Suck Burst Oxygen Toad to use one ability. Why don't you use your strongest attack? Then, the distance between us will become obvious to you."

Although Li Ang knew that he would not be able to beat Xia Qing, her words still pricked his pride.

Li Ang bellowed, "Elemental Puppet! Use Elemental Benefit and Elemental Tremors! Unleash the elemental energy through Elemental Whirlpool!"

The Elemental Puppet's four wings immediately started to move.

A large three-colored whirlpool appeared next to the Elemental Puppet.

When the whirlpool appeared, the Elemental Puppet immediately slimmed down and fell to the ground weakly. VIssịT n0(v)eL/b(i)(n).𝘤𝑜𝓂 for the best novel reading experience

Li Ang said to Xia Qing, "This is my strongest attack!"

Xia Qing said softly, "Suck Burst Oxygen Toad, use Gather Oxygen Toad Croak!"

The Suck Burst Oxygen Toad had wanted to use the long flame whips to break apart the whirlpool.

But when it received Xia Qing's instruction, it tossed away its original idea, and its throat immediately started to inflate and deflate rapidly.

Soon, a croak filled the air.

What happened next made every spectating member of the Radiance Hundred Sequence widen their eyes.

Chapter 1632: I Want to Challenge Liu Jie!

Everyone watched as the whirlpool made of all the elemental energy that the Elemental Puppet gathered collapsed.

The elemental energy within the whirlpool was like timber that had come into contact with fire as they were immediately set alight.

Li Ang wanted to use the elemental energy within the whirlpool to test out a full-powered attack.

This would allow him to see the difference between his and Xia Qing's power.

!

But now, there was no way he would be able to do the test.

When she saw the shock on Li Ang's face, Xia Qing said, "My Gather Oxygen Toad Croak can quickly gather the oxygen in the air. The high-magnitude tremors will be set alight by the pure oxygen. It can be said that the Suck Burst Oxygen's existence directly counters your battle style. I don't want to attack a friend. Give up!"

Li Ang fell silent for a moment before he looked deeply into Xia Qing's eyes.

He raised his left fist as a white flag.

Unless it was absolutely necessary, Li Ang was also unwilling to attack a friend.

Thus, he understood what Xia Qing was trying to say.

However, he needed to properly digest the facts.

Previously, he had been unable to defeat her when she was not using her main fey.

He had no idea if the Suck Burst Oxygen Toad was Xia Qing's main fey, but it was enough to render him helpless.

The gap between them could no longer be measured.

After Li Ang left the location, he said to Liu Wencheng, "I give up my remaining challenges."

Li Ang returned to his seat, and his body seemed to crumple slightly.

Shi Xu did not know how he should comfort Li Ang.

Liu Wencheng looked at Xia Qing and said, "Little Qing, at this point, there's no point in continuing to hide your identity. Tell Li Ang who you are and save him some misery."

Xia Qing did not immediately reveal her identity.

Rather, she said to Li Ang, "I had already reached god-class on the Celestial Stairway three years ago. It's only to be expected that you're no match for me. If you can become a Radiance Knight, you will have no lack of Creation Master resources. You won't have to go out and earn them for yourself.

"At that time, all your feys will increase in power. Your faceless elemental figures were too impatient and lacked resources. As a result, they didn't fully release their powers. Once you have access to purer elemental energy, your combat power will double at least."

Liu Wencheng knew that Xia Qing's character was like this. She was very straightforward and did not like to beat around the bush.

He had wanted her to offer Li Ang comfort. Yet, she taught him a lesson instead.

When Li Ang heard what Liu Wencheng said, he realized that Xia Qing had to come from an extraordinary background.

If she had already reached god-class three years ago, she had to either be a disciple of royalty or related to one.

If that were the case, there really was no choice in them competing.

Li Ang had been holding out hope of becoming a Radiance Envoy.

But now, he redirected his aspirations onto becoming a Radiance Knight.

Just as Xia Qing had said, he would definitely transform once he became a Radiance Knight.

Xia Qing and Li Ang's combat had quenched the fighting spirit of many.

A full-powered Diamond X/Fantasy I level attack was the extent of power that a member of the Radiance Hundred Sequence could reach.

Since Li Ang had given up his remaining two challenges, Long Tao was up next.

Everyone assumed he would challenge Xia Qing as well before challenging Li Ang.

Long Tao had kept a low profile these past few years and had not challenged anyone else.

Clearly, he had been hiding something big.

Li Ang came from a veteran faction, while Long Tao came from a top faction.

Coiling Dragon's Valley had immense Creation Master resources, and Long Tao was a Class 3 Creation Master.

Hence, Long Tao had greater access to Creation Master resources than Li Ang did.

Moreover, there had been a rumor floating around that Whale Ocean Commerce had been sealed off by the Spirit Guards for an unknown reason and struck off the list of top three top factions.

There was a report that came out of Coiling Dragon's Valley recently that said that their Elder Leader's main fey had reached Immortal.

Now, many people saw Coiling Dragon's Valley as having taken over Whale Ocean Commerce's place as one of the top three top factions.

Everyone was looking forward to seeing Long Tao display his power.

Yet, Long Tao said, "I want to challenge Liu Jie!"

Liu Wencheng immediately looked amused when he heard what Long Tao said.

Liu Wencheng had seen the way Liu Jie fought at the Guard Ye Banquet.

Liu Wencheng's eyes were opened when he saw the way that Liu Jie fought with insect-species carcinoma fey formations.

This combat style was highly compatible with his title of Heart of Insect Swarm.

After the Guard Ye Banquet ended, Liu Wencheng had even asked Night Leaning Moon about Liu Jie's nurturing process.

Night Leaning Moon had not held back, and Liu Yancheng had learned about Night Leaning Moon's 'Final Weapon Plan' that she had for Liu Jie.

Liu Wencheng sucked in a sharp breath.

It was terrifying to think about a spirit qi professional commandeering tens of Diamond X/Legend insect-species carcinoma feys.

As long as Liu Jie had enough time to hide, he could even use his insect-species carcinoma feys to wreak havoc on an entire continent.

No matter how powerful an individual was, they would not be able to turn the tide when they were faced with a disaster brought on by insect-species carcinoma feys. Ch𝒆êck out l𝒂t𝒆st 𝒏𝒐v𝒆l𝒔 on nov𝒆l/bin.c𝒐m

It was easy to solve a problem when it had just started.

But if matters progressed too far, the members of royalty would not be able to use methods that caused widespread damage for fear of harming the citizens.

Trying to protect citizens in the face of carcinoma feys was a problem that had never been solved.

However, carcinoma feys could often counter each other.

When the Sawtooth Devour Ants and Poison Dust Flying Moths appeared in Golden Edge City, the battle between the two types of insect-species carcinoma feys was what had given Chef Supreme the chance to solve the crisis.

With so many insect-species carcinoma feys, Liu Jie would be able to create disasters as well as fix disasters.

It was all a matter of which he preferred.

Thus, Liu Wencheng felt that the crux of Liu Jie was now how powerful he was but what kind of character he had.

The way Liu Jie had single-handedly took on the insect tide at Cold Frost City proved that he had a kind heart.

Chapter 1633: This Moth?

It can be said that Liu Jie had become the Radiance Federation's top strategic resource.

That night, all the elders of the Radiance Federation had witnessed the events for themselves.

They knew that Long Tao was challenging Liu Jie to help him.

Liu Jie's goal was not Li Ang but Xia Qing.

Xia Qing had just used the Suck Burst Oxygen Toad and needed to conserve power.

But if Liu Jie was targeting her, how was she going to conserve her power?

It seemed that there was going to be a preview of the fight between Liu Jie and Xia Qing that would be taking place a year later at the Radiance Envoy selection.

Liu Wencheng looked at Liu Jie and asked, "Liu Jie, are you going to accept Long Tao's challenge?"

The lower-ranked members of the Radiance Hundred Sequence could turn down challenges.

But there was no way that Liu Jie was going to do so.

Liu Jie stood up.

Now, all the eyes of the Radiance Hundred Sequence were on him.

They all looked at Long Tao and Liu Jie with confusion.

Was there some grudge between them? Long Tao had clearly walked over to Liu Jie and started chatting with him. The two of them had appeared to be on friendly terms.

Why was Long Tao suddenly challenging Liu Jie, who had just regained his rank as Sequence #30 of the Radiance Hundred Sequence?

Long Tao had not told anyone about Liu Jie's identity.

Zhao Xiaochun and Fang Duoduo looked at Long Tao with confusion.

Xia Qing's gaze also landed on Liu Jie.

She did not know Liu Jie because she had not attended the Guard Ye Banquet. She also had no clue that he was eventually going to challenge her.

But she was very interested in watching fights because it was also a way of strengthening herself.

When Wang Fan and Bai Hao heard the whole story, they realized that Liu Jie must have gained an opportunity. Otherwise, someone with Long Tao's personality would not have involved himself with Liu Jie.

Liu Jie would also not have been able to provide the two of them with so many resources.

When Liu Jie nodded, Liu Wencheng sent him and Long Tao to the battleground.

Before they were transported, Long Tao said to Liu Jie seriously, "I want to see how large the gap in our abilities is. I will give my all in this fight."

Liu Jie nodded and said, "I will take this seriously."

Long Tao was sent to the edge of a river.

A large amount of water-elemental energy flowed within the river.

Liu Jie found himself in a dense forest.

There were many places to hide in the forest, making it very compatible with his formation battle styles.

It could be said that both of them had been transported to favorable territories.

After a moment of silence, Long Tao waved his hand, and a four-meter-long dragon appeared behind Long Tao.

The dragon was the Sea King Cretaceous Dragon.

The Sea King Cretaceous Dragon had changed significantly from the last time that Lin Yuan saw it.

The Sea King Cretaceous Dragon was walking down the path of becoming a terrifying-dragon species fey.

As the Young Leader of Coiling Dragon's Valley, he had nurtured the Sea King Cretaceous Dragon to Diamond X/Fantasy IV.

One more evolution of its grade and it would reach the limit of the younger generation's power.

Long Tao did not use the Sea King Cretaceous Dragon to scout out Liu Jie's location. Instead, he ordered it, "Sea King Cretaceous Dragon, use Water Overseer and Maximum Seas!"

The moment the last word left his lips, all the water-elemental energy in the area started to gather together. Even the water-elemental energy within the river was pulled toward the growing mass of water-elemental energy.

The mass of water-elemental energy turned into a flowing river midair as more and more water swirled around the Sea King Cretaceous Dragon.

In an instant, a mammoth entity of water was formed.

The Sea King Cretaceous Dragon manipulated the water so that it moved along with its own movements.

The water had fully become part of the Sea King Cretaceous Dragon.

The Sea King Cretaceous Dragon also used Eight Dragon Shadows, and eight dragon shadows appeared in the water.

Each of the shadows was equally mighty.

Two dragons, one red and the other blue, appeared in midair.

As the two dragons moved their invisible feelers, rain started pouring from the 𝒏ew chapters on n𝒐ve/lbi𝒏.com

The rain increased the size of the mass of water, and a seven-meter-long shark appeared in front of Long Tao.

Long Tao jumped onto the shark's back.

When he met Lin Yuan, the Reef Sturgeon had been Platinum VI/Epic. Now, it was Diamond X/Legend.

Clearly, Long Tao was not going to provide the Reef Sturgeon with a Willpower Rune.

Long Tao's actions shocked the Radiance Hundred Sequence's members.

The Diamond X/Fantasy IV Sea King Cretaceous Dragon and the two Diamond X/Fantasy III Deep Blue Dragon Jellyfishes were enough to demonstrate that Long Tao was even stronger than Li Ang.

If they fought, there was a good chance that Long Tao would be able to defeat Li Ang.

Additionally, Long Tao had not used his secret weapon.

Long Tao had won the Wave Halberd Killer Whale at the auction. No one knew the extent to which he had nurtured it.

Everyone could not help but look at Liu Jie with concern.

They had no idea how Liu Jie was going to deal with Long Tao with just the Insect Queen.

No matter how many types of insects the Insect Queen summoned and how many different abilities those insects had, it would not be strong enough.

Once it entered the water that was under the Sea King Cretaceous Dragon's control, the eight dragon shadows that were each 60% as strong as the main body would rip the insects to shreds.

The Deep Blue Dragon Jellyfish had control of the skies and put a damper on the Hurricane Owlet Moths and Plasma Caterpillars.

Unless the Insect Queen was able to produce Diamond X/Fantasy III Hurricane Owlet Moths and Plasma Caterpillars, they would stand no chance against the two Deep Blue Dragon Jellyfishes.

While everyone was looking at Liu Jie with worry, Liu Jie gave a thumbs up, and a large purple moth appeared in the air around him.

The moth's abdomen glowed faintly, and black patterns were all over its body.

When it flapped its wings, the black patterns on its body seemed to extend into the air.

The space around it seemed to ripple.

Most of the Radiance Hundred Sequence members were unfamiliar with this moth.

But those who came from top and veteran factions were all too familiar with it.

The moth had appeared two months ago at the Guard Ye Banquet.

The one who had wielded the moth at that time was the Chief Spirit Guard's disciple. He had summoned it when he challenged a group of young experts from top factions.

The people who realized this all looked at Liu Jie with astonishment.

Could it be that Liu Jie was Chief Guard Ye's disciple?

Chapter 1634: How Can Such a Coincidence Exist?

The members of the Radiance Hundred Sequence who came from top and veteran factions all widened their eyes.

As they scrutinized the moth, they became certain that it was definitely the Dimensional Light Moth.

Chief Guard Ye's disciple's fight on the Martial Stage and the battle between Lin Yuan and Zong Ze had exploded the horizons of the young experts from top and veteran factions.

Zong Ze had used his fey with the Barren bloodline and his sacred source lifeform.

Even the young experts from top and veteran factions could not hope to obtain such things.

There was no certainty if there were any elders of veteran factions who had sacred source lifeforms, and only a few elders of top factions had sacred source lifeforms.

Moreover, only Radiance Envoys and the disciples of royalty could obtain feys with the Barren bloodline.

Everyone feared and respected Zong Ze.

Not only was the younger generation of experts befuddled by Lin Yuan's combat style, but even the leaders of veteran and top factions were at a loss.

They could tell that Lin Yuan's combat style involved combat skills and fighting strategies.

How did any spirit qi professional have time to learn all that?

Lin Yuan had definitely used a sacred source lifeform.

The silhouette of a girl that had appeared behind him was proof of this.

But what abilities did this sacred source lifeform have? No one could tell.

Firstly, Lin Yuan had extremely powerful immunity to elements, unbelievable combat abilities, and the ability to hide his spirit qi professional rank.

Next, he could use that sword that could unleash crows.

None of these were definitive tells. Fị𝒏dd 𝒏ew upd𝒂t𝒆s on n(o)v/e/l𝒃

Thus, Liu Jie was the one at the center of most discussions after the Guard Ye Banquet.

He had not only used insect-species carcinoma feys, but every fey had also reached Diamond X/Legend.

This was an unprecedented combat style.

At that time, the Dimensional Light Moth had spat out 40 Shield Ladybugs in succession.

This had left the members of the Radiance Hundred Sequence, who came from veteran and top factions, scratching their heads.

Clearly, there was no way he could have contracted so many insect-species feys.

Moreover, one of the Insect Queen's abilities was to produce a large number of Shield Ladybugs.

But at that time, no one had connected the dots and guessed that Liu Jie was Chief Guard Ye's disciple.

But now, the two identities were finally overlapping in their minds.

How could such a coincidence exist?

Moreover, no regular person was able to control the Dimensional Light Moth.

Instead of summoning the Insect Queen, Liu Jie had summoned the Dimensional Light Moth and kept the Insect Queen within the Dimensional Light Moth's abdomen.

This was because Liu Jie did not want to continue hiding his identity.

The Radiance Envoy selection was going to take place a year later, and there was no need to continue hiding.

He had already informed Night Leaning Moon that he would not be trying out to become a Radiance Envoy. Instead, he wanted to become Lin Yuan's Radiance Knight.

Liu Jie felt that this was the best way he could carry out his duty as Lin Yuan's retainer knight.

Additionally, Lin Yuan had given Liu Jie the Firefly Demon Fetus before the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection, and Liu Jie had fused it with the Insect Queen.

As a result, the Blade Queen Bee had evolved, and its psychotoxin was now much more potent!

When the Insect Queen absorbed the psychotoxin, its bloodline mutated again, and it gained another pair of wings.

Now, the Insect Queen was a six-winged fairy, and its ability to control insect-species carcinoma feys had become extremely powerful.

Liu Jie could now commandeer the insect-species carcinoma feys with greater proficiency.

The six-winged Insect Queen was now Liu Jie's secret weapon.

It was only natural that one had to properly protect his secret weapon.

Liu Jie would only be willing to reveal it during his fight against Xia Qing.

There was no need for him to reveal the Insect Queen's six wings in his fight against Long Tao.

After the Dimensional Light Moth was summoned, Liu Jie immediately ordered it to release 50 of the Shield Ladybugs that the Insect Queen had produced.

The Shield Ladybugs were the main method of defense for the Insect Queen.

In whatever situation, they could be living shields for Liu Jie.

Each of the 50 Shield Ladybugs had reached Diamond X/Fantasy I.

When the 50 Diamond X/Fantasy I Shield Ladybugs appeared, the spectating members of the Radiance Hundred Sequence were all stunned, and their gazes immediately fixed onto Liu Jie.

Xia Qing's also focused her gaze on Liu Jie.

The 50 Shield Ladybugs opened the shells on their backs to reveal their wings and flew into the sky.

All the Shield Ladybugs chose a tree and landed in it to pre-empt any enemies that tried to use sneak attacks.

Liu Jie had too many ideas for how he could defeat Long Tao.

The easiest way would be for the Insect Queen to produce 10 Diamond X/Fantasy IV Plasma Caterpillars and a Diamond X/Fantasy V Lightning Gathering Moth.

The Lightning Gathering Moth would gather the plasma produced by the Plasma Caterpillars and produce a full-powered Fantasy Breed level attack.

Long Tao's battle style required a supply of water.

Water was an exceptional natural conductor.

The Lightning Gathering Moth did not need to aim the attack at Long Tao's feys but at the water, and all of Long Tao's feys would end up seriously injured.

However, Liu Jie did not decide to do this because he had spent the past few months contracting insect-species carcinoma feys and had not had many opportunities to fight real battles that could raise his combat abilities.

He could not attack with his insect-species carcinoma feys when he fought on the Celestial Stairway.

Thus, Long Tao was the best sharpening stone for Liu Jie.

At that moment, Liu Jie spotted a mass of water approaching him.

The Deep Blue Dragon Jellyfishes were extremely eye-catching as they resembled red and blue streaks of light.

Since Long Tao had set up his water supply, Liu Jie gave another thumbs up, and a small insect-species carcinoma fey resembling a lightbulb appeared in his hand.

This was the insect-species carcinoma fey that Liu Jie had used when Lin Yuan was on Raging Waves City's island and was afraid that his harvesting of the large whale fall would cause harm to the other aquatic lifeforms, the Quiet Floating Hat Insect.

Chapter 1635: Long Tao's Final Move

Liu Jie had used the young miniatures produced by the Quiet Floating Hat Insect to send all the wild aquatic feys from the shallow shores to the deep sea.

Liu Jie ordered the Quiet Floating Hat Insect, "Go ahead and spawn! Turn the entire area of water into a sticky globe!"

The Quiet Floating Hat Insect immediately started twisting its body.

Through its translucent body, Liu Jie could see fluids moving.

Many eggs moved into its special organ, and it did not take long for translucent insect eggs to roll out of the Quiet Floating Hat Insect's abdomen.

At that moment, one Hurricane Owlet Moth flew out of the Dimensional Light Moth. It picked up the sticky eggs and carried them toward the approaching rain.

The Hurricane Owlet Moth was Platinum/Normal, and Liu Jie had no intention of using it in combat.

The Hurricane Owlet Moth just needed to carry the eggs over to the water, and it would have fulfilled its purpose.

Long Tao caught sight of Liu Jie from far off.

He had no idea what methods Liu Jie was going to use. All the information he had on Liu Jie came from the fight on the Martial Stage during the Guard Ye Banquet.

At that time, Liu Jie had summoned insect-species carcinoma feys like the Blade Queen Bee and Hypha Tapeworm that were skilled at terrestrial battles.

Hence, Long Tao started using his spirit qi so that the Sea King Cretaceous Dragon could cover the ground and air with water.

From afar, Long Tao saw that Liu Jie was not moving much, yet he dared not attack immediately.

The power of a terrestrial battle came from being able to attack and defend from a contained area.

Long Tao planned on covering the entire area around Liu Jie with water and seeing how Liu Jie reacted to it.

Long Tao did not pay too much attention to the Hurricane Owlet Moth that was flying toward him.

Rather, he focused on Liu Jie.

He did not even use his Creation Master ability to sense the Hurricane Owlet Moth's grade.

Rather, he used the two Deep Blue Dragon Jellyfishes to attack the Hurricane Owlet Moth using the rain.

The two Deep Blue Dragon Jellyfishes had an average power of Diamond X/Fantasy III.

When the rain made contact with the Platinum I/Normal Hurricane Owlet Moth, the droplets pierced through it, and it fell into the water below.

The Hurricane Owlet Moth's sudden death without putting up any fight caused Long Tao's expression to turn solemn.

The Quiet Floating Hat Insect's eggs had entered the water.

Long Tao had not realized what was going on yet, but even if he did, it was already too late!

The Quiet Floating Hat Insect's eggs needed to absorb the water-elemental energy from within the mass of water in order to hatch.

The Sea King Cretaceous Dragon produced the mass of water using water-elemental energy. It contained more water-elemental energy than a real body of water.Yôur f𝒂vorite stories on 𝒏/o/(v)𝒆/lb𝒊n.c𝒐m

The heart of the water-elemental energy was the Sea King Cretaceous Dragon.

It could be said that in order to hatch, the Quiet Floating Hat Insect's eggs had to steal the Sea King Cretaceous Dragon's water-elemental energy.

As an insect-species carcinoma fey, the Quiet Floating Hat Insect could cause devastating damage to water territories.

The sea clans had been able to tolerate the Sea Burial Lotus Flower but not the Quiet Floating Hat Insect.

In a blink of an eye, light blue forms floated up to the surface of the water. Every floating form had a small hat and looked like small transparent islands floating on the water.

In order to maximize the size of the water, the Sea King Cretaceous Dragon had not made the water very deep. Its depth was only about 20 meters.

The young Quiet Floating Hat Insects could extend their tentacles to a depth of 500 meters. If they absorbed enough energy, they could even extend to 1,000 meters.

As such, the Quiet Floating Hat Insects' transparent tentacles were all pressed at the bottom of the water, even blocking the flow of water.

According to Liu Jie's instruction, the Quiet Floating Hat Insect instructed the young insects to dissolve their tentacles to change them into sticky fluids.

The spectating members of the Radiance Hundred Sequence watched as the water turned into a pool of glue.

The eight figures produced from Eight Dragon Shadows were all trapped within the glue.

The Sea King Cretaceous Dragon used Sea Bite in succession before using Sea Emperor's Dragon Breath.

Finally, it broke through the glue and flew up into the air while covered in the disgusting sticky substance.

No matter how hard the Sea King Cretaceous Dragon tried to shake the sticky substance off, it was to no avail.

Moreover, once the glue left the water, it would start to dry rapidly.

This slowed down the Sea King Cretaceous Dragon's movements. It was even difficult for the Sea King Cretaceous Dragon to open its mouth.

The Sea King Cretaceous Dragon was so uncomfortable that it wanted to use Extremity of Sea to gather water-elemental energy to wash off the glue.

But, it was immediately stopped by Long Tao.

Long Tao had already figured out that the glue-like substance had come from the Quiet Floating Hat Insect.

The Quiet Floating Hat Insect's young insects had strong regenerative abilities.

Even when they were ripped to shreds by aquatic feys, they could regenerate as long as they had access to sufficient water-elemental energy.

It was likely that the Quiet Floating Hat Insect's young insects' detached tentacles were hidden within the glue.

If there was even one piece, the water-elemental energy that the Sea King Cretaceous Dragon gathered to wash itself off would cause the tentacles to regenerate.

If one of the Quiet Floating Hat Insect's young insects attached itself to the Sea King Cretaceous Dragon, it would find a large amount of its water-elemental energy being drained away.

Although the Sea King Cretaceous Dragon was Diamond X/Fantasy IV while the Quiet Floating Hat Insect was only at Diamond X/Legend, wild Silver insect-species carcinoma feys were already capable of bringing down cities.

When a Diamond insect-species carcinoma fey was serious, even thearch-class experts would be rendered helpless.

After each Quiet Floating Hat Insect's young insect hatched, they would have half the Insect Queen's power. This meant that they would be at Diamond grade.

There were at least 500 insect eggs within the small area of water.

In order for the Sea King Cretaceous Dragon to escape from the glue, it would have to defeat 500 Diamond feys.

Long Tao had not clashed against Liu Jie directly before.

But now that he was, he suddenly felt the helplessness that the young experts from top factions felt when they fought against Liu Jie on the Martial Stage.

Long Tao planned on using his ultimate move.

He was not going to waste any more time because he had no clue what new insect-species carcinoma fey Liu Jie was going to pull out from his sleeve.

With a wave of his hand, an enormous whale larger than the Sea King Cretaceous Dragon appeared in midair.

The whale was around 90 meters long, and there were white patches all over its black body.

Chapter 1636: Demon Flower Fragrance Shield Stinkbug

There was a 10-meter-long fin on its back that resembled a halberd.

After the whale was summoned, it immediately let out a roar.

Long Tao said to Liu Jie, "Now, I'm going to use my strongest attack!"

Liu Jie replied softly, "What a coincidence. I also want to try out my new defense technique."

A flat-bodied insect-species carcinoma fey with complex flower patterns on its back appeared on Liu Jie's palm.

At the same instant, Xia Qing said sternly, "The Demon Flower Fragrance Shield Stinkbug! It's Diamond X/Legend too!"

Xia Qing looked at Liu Jie with fear.

She had a deep impression of him from two years ago.

Two years ago, he had single-handedly held off the insect tide from conquering Cold Frost City for half an hour.

As a result, the Insect Queen had entered a near-dead state.

Xia Qing was the one who had begged the Bamboo Monarch on Liu Jie's behalf.

When she found out that the Bamboo Monarch could not heal the Insect Queen's injured roots, she even asked her grandfather for a second opinion while simultaneously contacting Chef Supreme.

If the Moon Empress had not been in seclusion at that time, Xia Qing might have visited the Leaning Moon Mountain as well.

Xia Qing had never told Liu Jie about this.

She was genuinely happy for him that he had made it back to the Radiance Hundred Sequence.

However, the power that Liu Jie exhibited far exceeded that of his age group.

At that moment, Xia Qing suddenly remembered her grandfather mentioning that Chief Guard Ye's disciple was a young man who excelled at using insect-species carcinoma feys in battle.

Xia Qing immediately drew a link between Liu Jie and Night Leaning Moon's disciple.

The Spirit Guards had captured every carcinoma fey in the Radiance Federation.

Only the Spirit Guard Chief's disciple would have access to so many insect-species carcinoma feys.

At that moment, Xia Qing seemed to understand something.

Long Tao was clearly friends with Liu Jie, so why would Sequence #3 challenge Sequence #30?

It could only be that Long Tao was trying to help Liu Jie and that Liu Jie had set her as his goal.

This immediately filled Xia Qing with an overflowing battle spirit.

Xia Qing did not even see Li Ang as a worthy match.

But now, there was no doubt that Liu Jie was one of the strongest young experts in the Radiance Federation.

Xia Qing felt that only this level of power was worthy of her.

When Liu Jie summoned the Demon Flower Fragrance Shield Stinkbug, Xia Qing realized that there was no longer any uncertainty about the outcome of this match.

The vapors from the Demon Flower Fragrance Shield Stinkbug would produce similar flowers that decorated its back in the air.

By consuming lifeforce, it could increase the strength of its demon flowers. FOlloow 𝒏ewest stories at n𝒐(v)

Every demon flower was only around the size of a fingernail.

The Insect Queen could produce numerous insect-species feys.

The demon flowers produced in the air already possessed Diamond defense attacks.

As the demon flowers consumed the insect-species feys consumed by the Insect Queen, their power would quickly reach that of Fantasy Breed.

If a punch landed on the shield in the form of the vapor shield, it would come into contact with 20 demon flowers.

Each of the demon flowers had Fantasy Breed-level defense. If they were not all broken at once, the attack would be unable to break through this wall of defense.

However, the attack from the Wave Halberd Killer Whale would definitely be stronger than that of a fist.

Although Long Tao was a Class 3 Creation Master, he had not recognized the Demon Flower Fragrance Shield Stinkbug because information on insect-species carcinoma feys was not available on Star Web, and there was no expert on them who could teach the information.

As such, it was very difficult to find a way to obtain such information.

Long Tao ordered the Wave Halberd Killer Whale, "Use Tide Ballad!"

The Wave Halberd Killer Whale's body turned the color of blood.

The blood-red color spread outward until it stained the Reef Sturgeon, Sea King Cretaceous Dragon, and Deep Blue Dragon Jellyfishes.

The energy within the aquatic feys that Long Tao had contracted fused with the red energy and the combined energy was transferred to the Wave Halberd Killer Whale.

Tide Ballad could drain the energy of other aquatic feys and unleash it after combining it with its own energy.

After absorbing a large amount of energy, the Wave Halberd Killer Whale's tail started to swish.

The clouds even turned into the shape of giant waves as they enveloped the Wave Halberd Killer Whale.

At that moment, the Demon Flower Fragrance Shield Stinkbug raised its abdomen and released a string of rainbow vapors into the air.

The rainbow vapors formed a pyramid-shaped shield that protected Liu Jie.

There were beautiful flowers all over the rainbow shield.

Soon, 200 Diamond I/Fantasy I Flesh-Mincing Blade Insects crawled out of the Dimensional Light Moth's abdomen and entered the demon flowers. They became the demon flowers' food and increased their defensive ability.

The demon flowers seemed to have a life of their own. As they consumed the Flesh-Mincing Blade Insects, their shields expanded until they eventually blocked Liu Jie's anterior.

Long Tao sternly ordered the Wave Halberd Killer Whale, "Use Flood Blood Whale Fall! Charge!"

Flood Blood Whale Fall was the Wave Halberd Killer Whale's Diamond ability. It was a method of combat that was self-sacrificing.

Since the Quiet Floating Hat Insect's young insects had absorbed too much of the Sea King Cretaceous Dragon's water-elemental energy, the Wave Halberd Killer Whale's attack would not be at maximum strength.

However, it did exceed the power of a Fantasy Breed fey.

Li Ang sighed a small breath when he saw this.

It seemed that regardless of who won or lost this battle, his position as Sequence #2 of the Radiance Hundred Sequence would soon be taken from him.

The power that Long Tao was exhibiting now exceeded that of Li Ang.

Before Li Ang could sigh again, his eyes widened as he saw the previously calm sea of glue turn choppy.

Many invisible tentacles were moving within the sea of glue until they manipulated the sea of glue into a giant wave that reached the clouds in the sky.

The wave moved toward the Wave Halberd Killer Whale and prevented it from charging into Liu Jie.

This was occurring because the Quiet Floating Hat Insect was controlling its young insects.

Long Tao had only instructed the Sea King Cretaceous Dragon to escape from the sea of glue and not attack it. Hence, the Quiet Floating Hat Insect's young insects within the sea of glue had not died.

Normally, the Quiet Floating Hat Insect would never use its young insects to attack in the air but continue consuming food within a body of water.

Chapter 1637: I Have a Few Things to Say to Liu Jie!

However, the Quiet Floating Hat Insect was under the Insect Queen's control and had gained enough intelligence to know the best move to make during battle.

It could be said that everything that was happening now had surpassed what Long Tao knew about the Quiet Floating Hat Insect. As such, he was completely unprepared.

But the Wave Halberd Killer Whale had already used Flood Blood Whale Fall and had gathered all the energy in its body to a singular point.

Hence, Long Tao was completely unable to halt the Wave Halberd Killer Whale at this point.

If the Wave Halberd Killer Whale was stopped, it would not be able to continue fighting.

Thus, Long Tao felt that the best option would be to allow the Wave Halberd Killer Whale to crash into the sea of glue that enveloped invisible tentacles.

The sea of glue was fluid and was able to slow down anything that it came in contact with.

The sea of glue turned into a 500-meter-long wall of glue that the Wave Halberd Killer Whale charged into.

The Quiet Floating Hat Insect's young insects' feelers immediately extended toward the Wave Halberd Killer Whale.

At this point, the Wave Halberd Killer Whale had turned into a large blood-colored furnace and rapidly burned up the energy within its body.

Thus, the sea of glue quickly started to boil and bubble.

The Quiet Floating Hat Insect was very averse to heat.

As such, the high temperature of the Wave Halberd Killer Whale's body instantly killed all of the Quiet Floating Hat Insect's young insects.

Still, it was not over just because the young insects were dead.

The young insects' bodies immediately turned to glue and made the sea of glue even stickier.

Long Tao pursed his lips when he sensed the energy inside the Wave Halberd Killer Whale being used up.

The Wave Halberd Killer Whale would definitely be able to break through the wall of glue, but once it did, the energy in its body would also be used up.

Long Tao knew that he had lost!

Even if the Wave Halberd Killer Whale used its self-sacrificing attack, there was no way he would be able to turn the tables.

When the Wave Halberd Killer Whale broke through the wall of glue, its body started to weaken visibly.

The high temperature of the Wave Halberd Killer Whale's body boiled up the sea of glue until it was only half of its original size.

At that moment, the Shield Ladybugs that Liu Jie had set up in the trees started to make their moves, all crashing into the Wave Halberd Killer Whale.

The 50 Shield Ladybugs had all reached Diamond X/Fantasy I.

They flew in a straight line, and the combined noise of their flapping wings resembled that of a train.

They made a beeline for the Wave Halberd Killer Whale and used their bodies to protect Liu Jie.

This was the reason the Insect Queen had created them.

No one would think much of Liu Jie's combat style if he lacked power.

But as long as he was strong enough, the 50 Diamond/Fantasy Shield Ladybugs using their bodies to protect Liu Jie would stun anyone who witnessed the sight.

When the Shield Ladybugs slammed against the Wave Halberd Killer Whale, they were all crushed and fell to the ground of the forest.

Every crash depleted the Wave Halberd Killer Whale's power, and their shells left its body with bloody gashes. Many insect parts were also left buried in the Wave Halberd Killer Whale's body.

When the 27th Shield Ladybugs broke apart on the Wave Halberd Killer Whale's body, the Wave Halberd Killer Whale exploded as well.

Since the remaining 23 Shield Ladybugs had finished their mission, they flew back to Liu Jie and formed a line in front of the Demon Flower Fragrance Shield Stinkbug.

The Shield Ladybugs would not hesitate to attack anything that advanced to complete their mission.

The pieces of the Wave Halberd Killer Whale's exploded body flew far and wide, but none of them made contact with the Demon Flower Fragrance Shield Stinkbug's demon flower shield.

This sight allowed Long Tao and the members of the Radiance Hundred Sequence to see how far the canyon between them was and how powerful Liu Jie was.

After a moment of silence from the members of the Radiance Hundred Sequence, a voice said, "No wonder he's Chief Guard Ye's disciple!"

This exclamation allowed those who had not realized the truth yet to learn what Liu Jie's identity was.

Apparently, Liu Jie was Chief Guard Ye's disciple!

All of Long Tao's feys had been killed, so Liu Jie and Long Tao were transported out of the location.

Long Tao composed himself and said with a smile, "The gap between us truly is large!"

However, Long Tao was not dispirited in the slightest, and he went on to say, "I think that I'll become an A-rank spirit qi professional within six months."

Long Tao did not mean anything else when he said this. He said this because he and Liu Jie were friends. 𝒩ewW 𝒏ovels upd𝒂tes on nov/𝒆l/b(i)𝒏.com

Liu Jie replied with a smile, "Let me be the first to congratulate you then!"

Liu Jie thought, A year later, Zong Ze, Gu Lang, and the rest will probably be able to become A-rank spirit qi professionals. I will be at that level too. At that time, the 12 Firefly Demon Fetuses that Lin Yuan gave me will have reached Myth Breed. I will only reach my peak once I become an A-rank spirit qi professional.

Liu Wencheng walked up to Long Tao and Liu Jie and patted their shoulders as he said, "Long Tao, you might have passed this challenge and become Sequence #30, but the rules state that you still have to pick your challengers based on your original rank."

Long Tao nodded apologetically at Li Ang.

After Li Ang challenged Xia Qing once, he had given up his other two chances.

This meant that Li Ang no longer had any chances to challenge.

Long Tao could challenge Li Ang now and push Li Ang down to Sequence #30.

But Long Tao felt that it would not be appropriate for him to do so.

If he did not challenge Li Ang, he would not have any challenges left.

Long Tao chose to challenge Sequence #7 Lei Ou and send him down to Sequence #30.

Next, it would be Lei Ou's chance to use his three challenges and climb the ladder if he wanted to.

After challenging Lei Ou, Long Tao noticed that Lei Ou, at full strength, was not any weaker than Li Ang. He would likely be able to stand toe-to-toe against Li Ang.

After pushing Lei Ou down, Long Tao challenged Li Ang and rose to Sequence #2 of the Radiance Hundred Sequence while Li Ang became Sequence #7.

Li Ang looked gratefully at Long Tao.

As the challenges continued, many people challenged Xia Qing, but none succeeded.

Soon, it was Liu Jie's turn to challenge.

Liu Jie told his two friends, Bai Hao and Wang Fan, about his situation. He also answered all their questions honestly.

At that moment, Xia Qing walked over to Liu Jie and said to Wang Fan, "Can I have your seat for five minutes? I have a few things to say to Liu Jie!"

Wang Fan hurriedly gave up his seat.

At that moment, Liu Jie's mind was muddled.

He clearly had no ties with Xia Qing and had no idea what she would need to talk to him about

Chapter 1638: Do You Have Your Eye on Liu Jie?

Bai Hao had been staring at Liu Jie and thinking, Brother, you've caught the attention of a goddess. Can you show some sort of affable reaction? You're so frustrating! How are you supposed to find a partner like this?

Xia Qing is one of the most beautiful girls of her generation. Her features are not only breathtaking, but her figure is outstanding too. Why aren't you chatting her up?

Xia Qing had a small smile on her face as she sat next to Liu Jie.

Liu Jie's actions had made him worthy of being called a hero of the Radiance Federation.

!

Xia Qing had felt bad for Liu Jie when he was unable to cure the Insect Queen.

But now, the Insect Queen was fully healed and was given a new opportunity. Xia Qing was over the moon about this.

Liu Jie was slightly uncomfortable under Xia Qing's gaze, and he wondered why she needed to talk to him.

At that moment, Xia Qing said, "Why don't we put off our fight to next year's Radiance Envoy selection? You have already reached Sequence #3 of the Radiance Hundred Sequence and are eligible to compete for one of the Radiance Envoy spots."

Liu Jie was slightly stunned, and he replied, "I'm not challenging you because of the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection but because I want to be number one. Also, my goal isn't to become a Radiance Envoy, and I won't be vying for a spot. I'm good with just becoming a Radiance Knight."

Liu Jie's words left Xia Qing with a stupefied expression.

As Night Leaning Moon's disciple, he had been carefully taught by her and had enough power to become a Radiance Envoy.

Xia Qing did not know how many insect-species carcinoma feys Liu Jie had under his control.

He had defeated Long Tao with just the Quiet Floating Hat Insect.

He had not even used the Demon Flower Fragrance Shield Stinkbug that he summoned.

This was partly because Long Tao had been too cautious and given the Quiet Floating Hat Insect's young insects too much time to get prepared.

Otherwise, the Quiet Floating Hat Insect would not have been able to halt the Wave Halberd Killer Whale.

Additionally, Diamond/Legend insect-species carcinoma feys were much too powerful, and fighting against Liu Jie was no different from fighting a mini catastrophe.

The Quiet Floating Hat Insect and Demon Flower Fragrance Shield Stinkbug had not had the chance to work together. Gẹtt the l𝒂test 𝒏𝒐v𝒆ls at 𝒏.o/(v)/e/l/bi𝒏.co𝒎

But if the insect-species carcinoma feys that Liu Jie controlled could cooperate perfectly, he could produce power on an unimaginable scale.

Xia Qing did not want to fight Liu Jie because she did not like fighting in front of an audience and felt that it was overly tedious.

She was also not afraid of Liu Jie.

Although Liu Jie had control of more than eight insect-species carcinoma feys, Xia Qing was still confident that she would be able to emerge victorious.

The Suck Burst Oxygen Toad was not Xia Qing's main fey.

Xia Qing was just afraid that the fight between her and Liu Jie would end up depressing the members of the Radiance Hundred Sequence.

Thus, Xia Qing privately approached Liu Jie and said what she said to him.

However, she could not understand why he did not intend to become a Radiance Envoy.

Xia Qing looked into Liu Jie's eyes and asked, "Why? Shouldn't every member of the Radiance Hundred Sequence aim to become a Radiance Envoy?"

Liu Jie shook his head.

After a few days of pondering, he finally understood why Night Leaning Moon did not want him to become a Radiance Envoy.

It was true that if he was ever called to choose between Lin Yuan and the Radiance Federation, he would undoubtedly choose Lin Yuan.

He was not suited to become a Radiance Envoy with such a mentality because they needed to be focused on representing and protecting the Radiance Federation.

Liu Jie would only become a Radiance Knight if Lin Yuan became a Radiance Envoy.

If he could not protect Lin Yuan as a Radiance Knight, Liu Jie saw no point in being one.

However, there was no way that Liu Jie would tell Xia Qing this.

Eventually, Liu Jie just said, "Everyone has their own goal."

Xia Qing glanced at the other members of the Radiance Hundred Sequence before saying, "If so, I can take the Sequence #3 spot and let you have Sequence #1. However, I have a request. I hope that you can give me an answer when you become a Radiance Knight."

Xia Qing's tone was full of confidence.

Liu Jie knew that Xia Qing's confidence was not shallow but genuine belief in her own power.

Liu Jie replied, "That's a deal. Even if you're not a Radiance Envoy at that time, I will tell you the reason after I become a Radiance Knight."

While he spoke, images of Lin Yuan, Zong Ze, Gu Lang, and An He appeared in Liu Jie's mind.

As a support-type spirit qi professional, there was no way that Gao Feng would be able to become a Radiance Envoy. Hence, only Lin Yuan, Zong Ze, Gu Lang, An He, and Xia Qing could become Radiance Envoys.

The name list for the new batch of Radiance Envoys was all but confirmed, and they were only going through the selection to decide on the ranking.

Liu Jie and Xia Qing spoke softly to each other, so most of the people around them did not catch the contents of their conversation.

But Wang Fan and Bai Hao were just sitting next to them and had shocked expressions on their faces.

Was this the kind of conversation that bigshots had? They traded the position of Sequence #1 so easily!

But at the same time, Wang Fan and Bai Hao were genuinely happy for Liu Jie.

Liu Jie's current status and power were unfamiliar to the two of them, but they still understood him as a person.

Liu Jie was still their good friend with whom they had gone on missions, overcome hardships, and shared blessings.

When it was Liu Jie's turn, he chose to challenge Xia Qing.

Xia Qing only used the Suck Burst Oxygen Toad during the fight, and Liu Jie only used the Demon Flower Fragrance Shield Stinkbug and Hypha Tapeworm.

After fighting for a while, Xia Qing surrendered.

Every member of the Radiance Hundred Sequence now knew that Xia Qing and Liu Jie had to have made a deal with each other.

Both of them were hiding their power.

No one knew what Xia Qing's secret weapon was.

However, Liu Jie had used the Dead Soul Demon Insect and Blade Queen Bee before but did not summon them during this fight.

The best match for the Blade Worms would be the Hypha Tapeworm.

Liu Wencheng had silently acknowledged the situation.

He looked at Xia Qing with an odd gaze.

He had watched the proud Xia Qing grow up and felt it was strange for Xia Qing to put herself at a disadvantage.

Liu Wencheng looked at the outstanding Liu Jie again and thought, Is it possible that Xia Qing has her eye on Liu Jie?

Chapter 1639: The Selection Day is Here!

If that were the case, that old man would be in trouble.

Many Radiance Hundred Sequence members were disappointed that Liu Jie and Xia Qing had not fought properly.

However, this was just an appetizer.

Every fight that came next led to changes in the Radiance Hundred Sequence ranking.

All of them ended up fighting their most difficult opponent.

Lei Ou defeated Li Ang to raise himself from Sequence #7 to Sequence #4.

White Devil raised herself from Sequence #18 to Sequence #16, while Unknown Flame fell from Sequence #57 to Sequence #59.

She sat crumpled in her seat next to Wang Fan as he tried to comfort her.

Wang Fan raised himself from #63 to #46. But he was eventually targeted and defeated, leading to a fall to Sequence #55.

Compared to the unfortunate time that Wang Fan and Anna were having, Bai Hao was having a much better time as he raised himself from Sequence #87 to Sequence #52.

When he was challenged later, he did whatever he could to end the battle as soon as possible. He used his strongest attack without wasting any time and wiped out the few spirit qi professionals who challenged him in an instant.

As such, Bai Hao managed to keep his rank of Sequence #52.

Liu Jie was the biggest black horse present, and the second one had to be Zhao Xiaochun.

Zhao Xiaochun exposed the secret weapon she had been hiding up till now, the source-type lifeform Glutton Innkeeper Worm, and raised herself from Sequence #21 to Sequence #9.

Shi Xu managed to retain his position as Sequence #6.

Fang Duoduo did not fall far from Sequence #43 to Sequence #46.

This massive reshuffling of the Radiance Hundred Sequence ranks exceeded the expectations of everyone.

Now, the last ten people in the ranking who had to participate in the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection were decided.

They would have to take on the new contenders to try and keep their spot in the Radiance Hundred Sequence.

After the Radiance Hundred Sequence's reranking ended, Liu Wencheng coughed and said, "Now, take your seats according to your new rankings! Tomorrow, you will sit according to your new ranking to spectate the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection."

Liu Wencheng left Star Web to report the Radiance Hundred Sequence reranking outcome before attending the last imperial meeting before the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection.

…

A sunny rain had just fallen.

Lin Yuan was in the 100 Buildings and was about to enter the Spirit Lock spatial zone to evolve some feys when he received a call from Gao Feng.

"Lin Yuan, where are you? I'm in the 100 Buildings! I just finished talking to the City Lord of Wind Mist City. I can come and see you now!"

The faction that Gao Feng belonged to was situated in the Wind Mist City, and he was now Cicada Song's disciple. Thus, it was unsurprising that the City Lord of Wind Mist City would seek Gao Feng out for a discussion.

It was likely that there were other City Lords who wanted to chat with Gao Feng.

Gao Feng's Master was in charge of all of the City Lords.

Since Gao Feng was looking for him, Lin Yuan would not turn him down.

Today would be the last free time they would have before the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection.

Lin Yuan told Gao Feng his building and room number, "I'm in Building 13, Room 226 on the second floor."

When Lin Yuan found out that Gao Feng wanted to participate in the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection, he intended to take Gao Feng under his wing.

But now, it was clear that Gao Feng did not need Lin Yuan to protect him. The Breeze Hibiscus, Spirit Spring Lily, and Yellow Spring Lily had an average power of Diamond X/Fantasy V.

The only people who owned Diamond feys within the Radiance Hundred Sequence were those whose ranks were pushed down.

Although the Breeze Hibiscus was not skilled at combat, its grade was an unchangeable fact.

No normal fey would be able to handle the violent winds that the Breeze Hibiscus generated.

Soon, someone knocked on Lin Yuan's room door.

When Lin Yuan opened the door, Gao Feng walked in and sobbed as he spoke. "Lin Yuan, you have to help me! I heard from An He that in the three days that the selection is taking place, 20 dimensional rifts will be opened! It will be a survival battle! Spirit qi professionals are allowed to form teams. I can handle normal opponents, but there's no way I'll be able to take on insect tides!"

Gao Feng now knew how the Memory-Consuming Eight Tunes Box could be useful.

Clearly, he was the best candidate to take on the Freedom Federation envoy group.

Hence, Gao Feng was afraid that he would run out of luck and be eliminated by the insect tides before meeting Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan pondered for a moment before his eyes lit up.

He took out one of the Ethereal Jellyfish's tentacles and handed it to Gao Feng.

If one entered Star Web with a Diamond fey storage box, all the items within it would be filtered out.

The spirit qi professionals would definitely be allowed to take items like food and water with them to a three-day-long survival battle.

At that time, Gao Feng would just need to take the Ethereal Jellyfish's tentacle with him, and Lin Yuan would be able to sense Gao Feng's location and go and meet up with him.

After their discussion yesterday, all of them reported the abilities of their feys.

As such, Gao Feng knew about Lin Yuan's Ethereal Jellyfish, and all of his worries smoothed themselves out.

The selection was taking place tomorrow, and Gao Feng felt that he would have nothing to do if he returned to his own room.

Lin Yuan also had his own room and did not have any roommates. As such, Gao Feng stayed and spent the night with Lin Yuan.

The next morning, the sun hung high in the cloudless sky.

Although the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection was going to take place on Star Web, the opening ceremony was going to take place in real life.

Usually, this was the only day that people would be able to see the 13 members of royalty.

At Gao Feng's strong insistence, Lin Yuan put on a set of black spirit qi clothes.

This set of spirit qi clothes was very similar to the one he wore when he first appeared as Black.

But the mask had changed significantly due to the transformation of Genius' bloodline.

When Lin Yuan put on the new mask, he had even been called Black's fake fan.

Although Lin Yuan was also dressed as Black today, no one would recognize him as long as he wore this new mask. Rather, those who wore the old silver mask were the ones who ended up being mistaken for Black.

When Gao Feng noticed this, he forcefully suppressed a smile.

But when he saw those people wearing silver masks sneer at Lin Yuan, Gao Feng could not help but guffaw loudly.

He laughed so hard that he ended up coughing and 𝒏ew chapters on n𝒐ve/lbi𝒏.com

Lin Yuan felt extremely awkward standing next to Gao Feng.

At that moment, two strange yet elegant cries filled the air.

This immediately attracted the attention of the people walking out of the 100 Buildings.

1640 The Radiance Federation's Rules!

It was not just these new candidates walking out of the 100 Buildings; even the people in the furthest corners of the Royal Capital could see the two twisting figures in the sky.

One green and one white figure were pulling a throne. There were moonstones that shone with moonlight embedded into the throne.

The people who saw this from afar immediately exploded with delight because they knew that the fey carriage pulled by giant snakes was called the Freezing Moon Pagoda Carriage and that it belonged to the Moon Empress.

All the people cheered as the Freezing Moon Pagoda Carriage neared because they knew that the Moon Empress was sitting inside.

She was a member of royalty who always protected the Radiance Federation.

However, the young people who walked out of the 100 Buildings and City Lords were all shocked and in fear rather than surprised and happy.

Lin Yuan had seen the Freezing Moon Pagoda Carriage before.

The Freezing Moon Pagoda Carriage had always been stored in the Leaning Moon Mountain's Moon Stable.

The two snakes were usually in human form as they guarded the Moon Stable.

They had special bloodlines.

When Lin Yuan last saw the two snakes change from human to their original forms, they had only been about 1,000 meters long. But now, they were 3,000 meters long.

Evidently, the two snakes' power had increased.

When Lin Yuan last used Morbius to check on the two snakes, Morbius had not been able to learn anything. This meant that they had reached Immortal.

Once a fey's power reached a certain extent, it was unlikely for its size and appearance to change significantly unless it underwent a special evolution.

But the two snakes' appearance and size had both changed drastically.

Previously, the two snakes' wings had been rounder and glistened. But now, they resembled fins that extended to their tails. There also appeared to be lotus petals beside the fin-like wings. Gẹtt the l𝒂test 𝒏𝒐v𝒆ls at 𝒏.o/(v)/e/l/bi𝒏.co𝒎

Lin Yuan could tell from just the wings that the two snakes' bloodlines had been purified.

The two snakes' bodies were twisted together while they pulled the fey carriage.

A light green and white lotus throne was in front of the wings.

As they pulled the fey carriage, they exuded a strong frigid aura.

At the same time, the snakes' scales had also changed from sharp and rough to resembling jade.

Lin Yuan guessed that the two snakes had reached Eternal.

The two roars had come from the snakes.

The tall pagoda was shrouded by moonlight that stretched out into the sky like ribbons.

Mystic Moon and Cold Moon stood on both sides of the moon palace, taking their place as the Moon Envoys.

Mystic Moon was dressed in a silver robe, while Cold Moon was dressed in a blue robe.

Although the two snakes had fully retracted their auras, the astonishing sight was still beyond the understanding of most members of the younger generation.

The City Lords also felt their souls tremble.

This was the Moon Empress of the Radiance Federation! Even her fey carriage had earth-shattering might.

Lin Yuan had always appeared next to the Moon Empress and often visited the Radiant Moon Palace to have question-and-answer sessions with her as well as enjoy the food she cooked.

Lin Yuan had never seen the Moon Empress from this angle.

Gao Feng gasped. "Brother, the Moon Empress' carriage is so…"

Before Gao Feng could finish speaking, seven eagle cries broke through the clouds, and seven giant purple-winged eagles appeared on the horizon, pulling a castle-like palace.

The architectural style of the palace was different from that of the Radiance Federation.

All seven eagles had wingspan close to 1,000 meters and flew in a V-formation.

Every flap of the eagles' wings came with bright blue and purple electric streaks, so the eagles immediately became the most eye-catching sight in the sky.

There were three elderly men standing in front of the palace, and their auras directly clashed against that of the Freezing Moon Pagoda Carriage.

However, the two snakes did not react in any significant way.

Confused expressions appeared on the three elderly men's faces.

Li Yang had decided to use the Mystic Thunderclap Kite Eagle Carriage to diminish the might of the Radiance Federation's royalty.

There was nothing more impressive in the world than having seven Immortal Mystic Thunderclap Kite Eagles pull a fey carriage.

The group from the Freedom Federation had been waiting for the Radiance Federation's royalty to ride out in their fey carriages.

Eventually, the first fey carriage to make its appearance belonged to the Moon Empress.

A decade ago, the Moon Empress killed one of the Freedom Federation's royalty and eliminated one of the Freedom Federation's legacies that they had not been able to replace up till now.

It could be said that the person that the Freedom Federation had the largest ax to grind with was the Moon Empress.

Thus, after the Freezing Moon Pagoda Carriage appeared, the three elderly men immediately rode out on the Mystic Thunderclap Kite Eagle Carriage to deliver a blow to the Moon Empress.

At that moment, a chilling female voice said from within the Freezing Moon Pagoda Carriage, "Soaring White, Soaring Green."

The light green and white snakes immediately started to glow faintly, radiating an uncanny feeling.

Two 10,000-meter-long shadows appeared behind them.

An instant later, the two figures turned into two girls wearing light green and white dresses. The girls opened their mouths and breathed in sharply in the direction of the Mystic Thunderclap Kite Eagle Carriage.

The light green and white light immediately grabbed hold of the seven Immortal Mystic Thunderclap Kite Eagles, and it was as though something was being drained from within them.

A moment later, the seven Mystic Thunderclap Kite Eagles collapsed.

Lin Yuan had secretly tried to use Morbius to check on the seven Mystic Thunderclap Kite Eagles but could not see any abilities or exclusive skills.

After Morbius woke up, Morbius could hide so that targets did not notice that they were being probed.

At that moment, Lin Yuan suddenly realized he could see the seven Mystic Thunderclap Kite Eagles' data.

Currently, the Mystic Thunderclap Kite Eagles' grades had fallen to Sovereign IX/Creation VI.

The three elderly men bellowed, "Moon Empress, we came from the Freedom Federation to visit the Radiance Federation. Why did you attack the Mystic Thunderclap Kite Eagles?"

The chilling female voice said, "According to the Radiance Federation's rules, any envoy group who visits must travel by foot. This is only a warning. If it happens again, Soaring White and Soaring Green will not stop at just absorbing a small portion of their qualities and grades."

1641 Next Time it Will Be Death!

The three elderly men were clearly unsatisfied with the Moon Empress' reply.

Li Yang's fey carriage was damaged, and they did not know how to account for it when they returned.

At that moment, the female voice turned even more vicious as she snarled, "Next time, it will be death!"

The three elderly men did not expect the feys pulling the Moon Empress' fey carriage to have reached Eternal.

!

Not even the aura of 700 of the Mystic Thunderclap Kite Eagles would be able to match up to the two Eternal Snow Splendid Celestial Soaring.

No one had more experience with the Moon Empress' temper than the experts from the Freedom Federation. After all, one of the Freedom Federation's royalty had died at her hands.

She was the type of person who acted without warning.

The Mystic Thunderclap Kite Eagle Carriage had been forced to land, and the three elderly men and young experts from the Freedom Federation were about to walk to the Radiance Sacred Hall when a hoarse voice said from the sky, "Moon Empress, was it really right for the feys pulling my fey carriage to have their grades depressed just because they were flying?"

A man in a long golden robe appeared in the sky in front of the Freezing Moon Pagoda Carriage.

The Moon Empress replied coldly, "The Freedom Federation has not visited the Radiance Federation in a decade. Have you already forgotten the Radiance Federation's rules? If you have forgotten, I don't mind teaching you a lesson."

While she spoke, the Moon Empress released her aura.

Now that the Moon Empress had obtained the Lifespan Mouse, her power had crossed a threshold, and she had taken a large step forward.

The aura the Moon Empress released was on the level she had been at when she first obtained the Lifespan Mouse.

Fear crossed his face when the man in golden robes sensed the Moon Empress' aura.

The Moon Empress said, "Any non-Radiance Federation citizen is allowed in the Radiance Federation's skies. As a member of the Freedom Federation's royalty, are you trying to say that you want to be part of the Radiance Federation by entering our sky? Or are you going to go down? Otherwise, I will take your action as a provocation. I'm sure you're well aware of why that person from the Freedom Federation died ten years ago."

The Moon Empress' words caused the man's expression to change again.

Regulations were of the highest priority in the Radiance Federation.

The battle ten years ago had started because the Radiance Federation's rules had been broken.

Li Yang knew that if he persisted, the Moon Empress would not hesitate to attack him.

From the aura the Moon Empress released, Li Yang felt that he had a similar level of strength to her, so there was no reason for him to be afraid even if she did attack him.

Still, there were 12 other members of royalty in the Radiance Federation.

Li Yang was not as stupid as that old fellow to start fighting with the Moon Empress the moment he arrived at the Radiance Federation.

As he thought about the plan and preparations they had in motion, a strange expression spread across the man's face. His figure then disappeared from the air and appeared in front of the Freedom Federation envoy group.

Although a member of the Freedom Federation's royalty had arrived, none of the people from the Freedom Federation envoy group looked excited.

Given how Li Yang had submitted after clashing against the Moon Empress' aura, he had positioned himself as the weaker side.

Li Yang ignored this and said to the people behind him, "Come with me to the Radiance Sacred Hall!"

In stark contrast to the Freedom Federation envoy group were the young experts walking out of the 100 Buildings. They were all looking up at the Freezing Moon Pagoda Carriage with excitement and admiration.

They knew that the Moon Empress had come out victorious in the clash against the Freedom Federation's member of royalty. This was a huge boost to their pride.

However, Lin Yuan and Gao Feng had solemn expressions hanging on their faces.

The Freedom Federation had sent out a member of royalty during this visit, but he only appeared after events started to unfold. Yôur f𝒂vorite stories on 𝒏/o/(v)𝒆/lb𝒊n.c𝒐m

This indicated that the Freedom Federation was definitely up to something. They had to be planning something by sending out a member of their royalty.

Lin Yuan and Gao Feng did not join the other members of the younger generation in cheering. They were more focused on the bigger picture. The two of them were aware that power was the only thing that allowed the Radiance Federation to win that pride.

If the two snakes pulling fey carriage had not evolved, there was no way they would have been able to compete with the might of the seven Mystic Thunderclap Kite Eagles.

If the Moon Empress was not strong enough, she would not have been able to fend off the member of the Freedom Federation's royalty named Li Yang.

What had just happened was essentially a farce.

Now that the matter was settled, the two snakes continued pulling the carriage to the Radiance Sacred Hall.

Not long after the Freezing Moon Pagoda Carriage arrived, more fey carriages appeared and headed toward the Radiance Sacred Hall.

These fey carriages were of all shapes and sizes.

The weakest feys pulling the carriages were Immortal.

Every fey carriage had the crest of a member of royalty.

This was a visual feast for the regular people.

At that moment, a young man at the back of the Freedom Federation envoy group passed Yan Ling, Cai Huo, and You Changjian.

Qian Yu walked over to Li Yang and asked, "Has the Freedom Federation finished the preparations?"

Li Yang looked at Qian Yu and said, "Since I've arrived, it's to be expected that the Freedom Federation has finished preparations. Are you prepared?"

The young man's eyes clouded over, and he said after a pause, "We are prepared. Sixth Page Lashing's Black Mass Cup started pouring long ago. We are just waiting for the Freedom Federation to act, and we will instantly follow. Moreover, I have called all four knights over as an added safety net."

Li Yang was not given a chance to ask more questions before this young man returned to his original position at the back of the group.

You Changjian, Cai Huo, and Cai Huo looked at this young man with fright, while the others looked at him with pure terror as they walked into the Radiance Sacred Hall.

When they reached the door of the Radiance Sacred Hall, Li Yang realized how large the interior actually was.

The Radiance Sacred Hall was ten times larger than the Radiance Palace.

The white pillars in the four corners jutted up into the clouds, and the space seemed almost dreamlike.

Thousands of white pillars circled the hall, and there was a connecting space between every pair of pillars.

These connecting spaces were the audience seats.

There were 13 golden pillars at the front, on top of which set 13 thrones.

This was where the members of royalty were going to sit.

Chapter 1642 - 1642 Fourth Secure Federation Treasure!

1642 Fourth Secure Federation Treasure!

There were five rainbow stone pillars lined up with the 13 golden pillars, and they were just as tall as the golden pillars.

The five rainbow stone pillars were where the Radiance Envoys would sit.

However, the Radiance Envoys generally did not participate in the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection.

The stone pillars were rainbow-colored to represent the color of uncontracted sacred source lifeforms. This was clear enough to tell that the Radiance Federation valued their Radiance Envoys.

!

Or rather, they valued their legacies.

There were 10 five-colored stone pillars below the 13 golden pillars and five rainbow pillars.

These five-colored stone pillars were shorter, and each pair flanked a rainbow pillar.

These 10 five-colored pillars were where the Radiance Knights sat.

There were also 100 silver pillars significantly shorter than the five-colored pillars.

This was where the Radiance Hundred Sequence sat.

However, the 100 seats would not be filled during the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection because Sequence #91 to Sequence #100 would be competing.

Before they passed the selection, they did not have the right to share in the glory of being a member of the Radiance Hundred Sequence.

Lin Yuan stood next to Gao Feng as the two followed the crowd into the courtyard.

At that moment, a moo filled the air, and a giant light green cow with flames at its feet and Yin-Yang patterns on its body appeared.

A young man dressed in red and gold robes was on the light green cow's back. There was a long scar extending from the corner of his eye to his ear. Yet, the young man's face did not seem malevolent at all. Rather, it gave him the aura of persistence.

Lin Yuan immediately used Morbius to check on the cow-species fey.

The Yin-Yang Double Instrument Cow was Suzerain X/pinnacle Myth II.

Given its grade and quality, the cow-species fey could already change into human form.

Despite clearly being younger than 30, the young man already possessed such power. Since he appeared at the Radiance Sacred Hall, it proved his identity.

Lin Yuan had received a call from An He when he was chatting with Gao Feng last night.

An He had told him that his senior brother, the current third Radiance Envoy Liu Yifan, would attend the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection and host the test.

An He worshiped his senior brother.

Lin Yuan realized this when he held a discussion with Liu Jie, Zong Ze, Gu Lang, Gao Feng, and An He.

There was no way that An He would call and lie to him.

The young man riding the Yin-Yang Double Instrument Cow apparently was An He's senior brother, Long Lamplight's first disciple, and the current third Radiance Envoy.

The Yin-Yang Double Instrument Cow landed on the center rainbow stone pillar, and the crowd cheered when they saw the young man take his seat.

It was very rare for the five Radiance Envoys to make an appearance.

Lin Yuan still had not had the chance to meet them, much less others.

Liu Yifan stood at the center rainbow stone pillar and looked down at the young experts who were about to participate in the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection.

Liu Yifan felt as though he was looking at the 18-year-old version of himself.

He said loudly, "Everyone quiet. As the third Radiance Envoy, I hope that all of you will do your best during the test. Now, let us welcome the Radiance Hundred Sequence."

The moment Liu Yifan finished speaking, 90 Jade-Holding Cinnabar Cranes carrying 90 members of the Radiance Hundred Sequence flew to the silver pillars.

The Jade-Holding Cinnabar Cranes were very lucky and usually kept in the Hundred Beasts Monastery. They were only used to carry the members of the Radiance Hundred Sequence during the annual Radiance Hundred Sequence selection.

At that moment, Lin Yuan and Gao Feng noticed a maskless Liu Jie standing at the position of Sequence #1 while Long Tao took the position of Sequence #2.

Now, Liu Jie had the title of Sequence #1 of the Radiance Hundred Sequence and Heart of the Insect Swarm.

Liu Jie and Long Tao looked out into the crowd to find where Lin Yuan and Long Tao were.

It was very difficult to pick out two people amongst thousands.

Moreover, Liu Jie and Long Tao realized that many people were wearing silver masks.

When they realized that finding Lin Yuan and Gao Feng would be impossible, they shifted their gazes to Liu Yifan.

Clearly, Liu Yifan was acquainted with Xia Qing as he nodded at her.

Long Tao looked at Liu Yifan with both respect and yearning.

Long Tao wanted to become a Radiance Envoy.

But after discovering Lin Yuan, Liu Jie, and Zong Ze's powers, he knew that becoming a Radiance Envoy would be an impossibility for him. Thus, Long Tao set his sights on the five-colored stone pillars behind Liu Yifan.

It was the same for Liu Jie, but he had a completely different idea from Long Tao.

Liu Jie was not giving up because he lacked power but because he realized what it was that he truly wanted. Hence, Liu Jie aimed for the five-colored stone pillars right from the beginning.

Nonetheless, Liu Jie's gaze moved between the seven rainbow stone pillars as he wondered which seat Lin Yuan would be taking a year later.

At that time, he had to stand firmly behind Lin Yuan.

Most of the contenders for the Radiance Hundred Sequence were focused on the members of the Radiance Hundred Sequence because those were the positions that they were aiming for.

If they could prove themselves, they would be carried off on the back of the Jade-Holding Cinnabar Crane to one of the silver stone pillars before the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection ended.

Lin Yuan looked at the members of the Radiance Hundred Sequence and noticed that Zhao Xiaochun's progress was the greatest.

The couple Zhao Xiaochun and Shi Xu—one of them was Sequence #6 while the other was Sequence #9.

Shi Xu and Zhao Xiaochun were the only couple in the top ten ranks of the Radiance Hundred Sequence.

At that moment, Liu Yifan said austerely, "Let us welcome the fourth of the seven Secure Federation Treasures, the Mountain River Grain God Bells."

The moment Liu Yifan spoke, a bell chime sounded out, followed by several more in succession.

A power rushed into the Radiance Sacred Hall.

Everyone watched as an enormous set of bells was suspended at the center of the Radiance Sacred Hall.

The bells were bronze and had the patterns of rivers carved into them. Every river had a ley line underneath it, and every line seemed capable of morphing into a dragon at any time.

Although no one had struck them, the bells continued to chime.

1643 Officially Begin!

Lin Yuan had heard the Moon Empress mention that the seven Secure Federation Treasures were instruments made from the corpses of seven 10 Stars and above sacred source lifeforms, and they were able to influence celestial phenomena to a certain extent.

However, Lin Yuan did not know what the Mountain River Grain God Bells' function was. It seemed that it was related to defense.

The entire area within the Radiance Sacred Hall had become a separate world.

After introducing the Mountain River Grain God Bells, Liu Yifan said, "Let us welcome the envoy groups from the Freedom Federation and Azure Federation to take their seats."

As the fourth Azure Envoy of the Azure Federation, Yin Lin led the Azure Federation envoy group to their seats.

However, the Freedom Federation envoy group did not follow Liu Yifan's instructions.

Li Yang stood unmovingly in front of the Freedom Federation envoy group. As such, Qin Yu could not move forward either.

Since a member of royalty had arrived, a Freedom Envoy had lost the yoke of authority.

This was where the Freedom Federation differed from the Radiance Federation.

At that moment, the Mountain River Grain God Bells suddenly grew brighter, and the 180 ley lines inscribed on the bells lit up.

The ley lines turned into dragons that reared their heads.

The power of the rivers crashed down on Li Yang.

Each anvil of power from a dragon was like a real flowing mountain river. This power was on par with that of a celestial phenomenon.

Li Yang glanced at the power that was plunging down on him and started walking toward the seats.

Li Yang was well aware of the power of the Radiance Federation's Secure Federation Treasures.

In order to defend against it, Li Yang would have to reveal his power.

Once he revealed his power, it would be impossible for the members of royalty not to step in.

He thought about his reason for coming and forcefully suppressed his temper before continuing to walk forward.

Qian Yu scrambled to follow him.

Every member of the Freedom Federation's royalty had their own motives.

No matter what Li Yang did, Qian Yu and the rest would be punished if they failed in their goal of coming to the Radiance Federation. Hence, Qian Yu did not want a clash to break out.

Ever since the power of the Mountain River Grain God Bells forced Li Yang to walk toward the seats, the mighty aura circled the sky and returned to the engravings on the Mountain River Grain God Bells.

The aftereffect of the returning power caused the Mountain River Grain God Bells to release another chime.

When the two visiting envoy groups took their seats, Liu Yifan announced, "Let us welcome in the members of royalty." FOlloow 𝒏ewest stories at n𝒐(v)

13 fey carriages of various shapes and sizes appeared in front of the golden stone pillars.

The 13 members of royalty appeared dressed in their coronation costumes and took their seats on the golden stone pillars.

From the moment that the members of royalty sat down, the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection officially began.

Liu Wencheng oversaw the Radiance Hundred Sequence tests and said, "The Radiance Hundred Sequence selection will now officially begin.

"Everyone, use your Star Web card to enter Star Web and enter the transportation door in front of you. You will find yourself at the testing ground.

"This test will last three days. After two days, the area of the testing ground will start to shrink. Different dimensional rifts will also appear in the testing ground. The test will end when only ten participants are left, and these are the people who will take up Sequence #91 to #100 of the Radiance Hundred Sequence.

"The original Sequence #91 to #100 of the Radiance Hundred Sequence will join the test as contestants. This is the end of what I have to say. Since the test is taking place on Star Web, none of you will be in any real danger. As such, no additional rules are required for this Radiance Hundred Sequence selection. Now, let us begin!"

After Liu Wencheng was done speaking, he said to the two elderly men beside him, "Wen Qu, Wu Qu, go and give the envoy groups temporary Star Web cards so they will be able to watch the selection."

The two elderly men leaped toward where the two envoy groups were seated.

The two envoy groups were greatly looking forward to experiencing the marvel that was Star Web.

It was impossible to replicate something composed of three sacred source lifeforms.

There was no place more crowded and lively now than Star Web.

It was not an exaggeration to say that anyone with a Star Web Card had already entered Star Web to watch the official broadcast or was waiting in live-streaming rooms for their favorite hosts to live stream the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection.

If they had a particular contestant that they had their eyes on, they could adjust it so that they had a focused perspective on this expert.

There were five times the normal amount of posts and fan club activity.

The bad-tempered users had already started screeching in the live-streaming rooms.

"Why hasn't it started yet? Hurry up! I don't want to wait any longer! I will be setting my focused perspective on Black! There's no way he won't use any big moves or summon feys throughout the entire Radiance Hundred Sequence selection!"

"I think that Black will be able to continue hiding his power. He did not even have to expose his power when he fought against Lu Shuang. How can his opponents during the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection be stronger than her?"

"Didn't you see the battle rules announced on Star Web two minutes ago? It's a survival battle! Black will not only have to face opponents but also the insect tides from the dimensional rifts. Will Black continue to remain so high and mighty in such a situation?"

"As a citizen of Millstone Town, the test reminded me of Black's plant-type fey. No one from Millstone Town will forget the sea of flowers that clashed and chewed up the insect tide."

"Who cares about Black? My son is one of the 100 contestants sent from Raging Waves City. I will be watching him!"

Lu Shuang's popularity had exploded after her fight with Black. Moreover, she had recently been using Black to boost her popularity.

As such, there was a huge audience in Lu Shuang's live-streaming room.

After looking at the rules for a moment, Lu Shuang said, "This test is mainly assessing teamwork. There's no way a person can defend against a Class 3 insect tide on their own!

"A Class 2 insect tide has the same power as Platinum feys! Even if they have Diamond feys, they won't be able to last three days on their own unless their feys are suited for endurance battles.

"Moreover, the dimensional rifts will be opening at random. If two dimensional rifts happen to open close together, one will have to take on double damage at once. Thus, surviving the next three days will be impossible without forming a team! They will have to work together."

1644 The Image is Here!

At that moment, Lu Shuang's chest thudded. She knew that this would be not only a test of strength but also character.

Although Lu Shuang had never participated in the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection or been a member of the Radiance Hundred Sequence, she was not weak.

She had not participated when she was eligible because she was a defense-type spirit qi professional who used spiritual-type feys. This combination was too unorthodox and made her an easy target.

Besides using up spiritual power, one also had to use spiritual energy during the fight.

It was easy to replenish spiritual power but replenishing spiritual energy took some time.

This was why Lu Shuang had given up on becoming a member of the Radiance Hundred Sequence.

But this year's test method eliminated the disadvantages faced by healing-type and support-type spirit qi professionals.

Healing-type and support-type spirit qi professionals were always more welcome in a team than power offense-type spirit qi professionals.

If this had been the method of testing when she was eligible for participation, the Exquisite Rhino Giraffe's ability to recover the spiritual energy of other feys would definitely have led it to be protected by the other team members.

Lu Shuang felt confident that she would succeed with this method of testing.

Her father was a Spirit Guard, and her mother was an official secretary in Cloud Lake City, so the background she had been brought up in allowed her to hone a keener judgment than others.

A month ago, balloon flowers had bloomed in the Radiance Federation's sky. These flowers had spat out lava that rained down from the sky, and a giant golden tree had protected the land from being burned by the rain of lava.

Lu Shuang knew that a violent clash between the Radiance Federation and Freedom Federation was inevitable.

The location of the clash would be the Major Federation Meeting.

However, the effects of the impending clash were already starting to roll out.

News of the opening of the Class 6 abyss dimensional rift and the construction of the representative cities in the abyssal world had appeared too abruptly.

As such, the price of feys in the Radiance Federation had skyrocketed. Yôur f𝒂vorite stories on 𝒏/o/(v)𝒆/lb𝒊n.c𝒐m

The members of royalty had resorted to releasing thousands of their own resources to soothe the volatile market and bring the prices of resources back down to a stable level.

They also had to oversee the construction of the representative cities in the abyssal world.

Lu Shuang could tangibly feel the era shifting. Even the air was different!

Spirit qi professionals used to perform many tasks and could make a living for themselves without risk by harvesting wild crops.

But with the expansion of the abyssal world, they would become grievously injured or even lose their lives in an instant if they were careless.

The members of royalty had declared that all 36 major cities had to build a representative version of themselves in the abyssal world.

On the one hand, this increased the Radiance Federation's territory and allowed them to gain more resources by controlling the source of the resources themselves, but it was also a military tactic as every spirit qi professional would have no choice but to undergo hard training.

In such times, the members of royalty felt that the mindset and characters of the Radiance Hundred Sequence took precedence over how much power they possessed.

A spirit qi professional's power depended on their ability to comprehend Willpower Runes, the rate at which they promoted their rank, and how many Creation Master resources they had.

Creation Master was such a special occupation that one could evolve a Normal fey to Diamond grade in the span of a few short days.

As long as a person had the ability to comprehend Willpower Runes, did not promote his spirit qi professional rank too slowly, and had sufficient Creation Master resources, they would be known as a genius.

If one lacked Creation Master resources and only had talent, it would not translate into many practical effects.

After all, spirit qi professionals depended on their feys to do battle and not their own bodies.

As long as a member of royalty wanted to, they could turn the most seemingly useless chunk of carbon into a shining diamond.

Nonetheless, this was a slight exaggeration.

This method of selecting the members of the Radiance Hundred Sequence was much more objective than filtering them through battles.

Moreover, it would be impossible that the ten that emerged would be weak.

Lu Shuang did not feel any uncertainty about Black's chances of becoming a member of the Radiance Hundred Sequence.

He had defeated her, after all!

There was no doubt that he would secure a place for himself.

Lu Shuang felt that it was almost bullying for experts who had attained god-class to participate in the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection.

However, most of the viewers in her live-streaming room were Black's fans. Hence, she had no choice but to set her individual perspective on him.

Starlight Luan i: Shuang, what are you thinking about? Why aren't you saying anything? If you don't speak up more, Poison Beauty's popularity will surpass yours! She has encountered Black thrice, and people are already calling her Black's Wife. They're saying that she and Black are fated and a match made in heaven!

Both Lu Shuang and Poison Beauty were veteran hosts.

If Lu Shuang knew how to take advantage of Black's popularity to boost herself, so did Poison Beauty.

Moreover, Poison Beauty had been a sales host for some time and developed a very glib tongue.

During her live stream, Poison Beauty always noticed minute but accurate details.

It was true that Poison Beauty had encountered Black several times.

At present, Poison Beauty's live-streaming room was booming with activity.

"I'm telling you! You have to believe me! Black's blue sparrow-species fey is definitely light-type! How can I be wrong about my rival? During our previous right, I sensed movement in the ground below me. Black definitely used a sand-elemental source-type lifeform!"

Poison Beauty continued to describe Black as she instructed the official Star Web employees to block troublemakers.

Her live-streaming room was like a treasure chest that was continuously amassing treasures.

She did not want a few drops of ink to stain the entire picture.

When Starlight Luan i mentioned Poison Beauty, Lu Shuang went to check and discovered that Poison Beauty's popularity had indeed shot past hers.

Poison Beauty's live stream was now even more popular than those of the retired members of the Radiance Hundred Sequence.

Lu Shuang anxiously brought out her moves and launched into an analysis of Black's eight-tailed cat.

The information Poison Beauty gave out about Black could be found in posts all around Star Web.

However, Lu Shuang was the only one who had personally encountered the eight-tailed cat, and no one else could claim the same.

Until the time that Black summoned the eight-tailed cat again, Lu Shuang's words were the closest to the truth that the public could access.

But before Lu Shuang could get her ball rolling, something appeared on Black's perspective view.

1645 Rejected Invite!

The image showed a young man dressed in black spirit qi clothes.

Lu Shuang's audience immediately went into a frenzy.

This Car Doesn't Go to Kindergarten: Look! My husband has finally appeared! I'm so excited! Honey, quickly summon your feys so I can get a look at them!

Girl Who Doesn't Step on Ants: Black's perspective is finally showing something! The Radiance Hundred Sequence selection is starting! This time, the selection will last for 72 hours. The next 72 hours are going to be a sensory overload!

Free As Wing: Hm? Why isn't Black moving? Move, Black! I can't take it!

Your Psyche: Black's female fans, please watch yourselves. As Black's male mother, I don't approve of you coupling up with my son!

Comments were streaming in like a waterfall.

But as they continued to post their reactions, everyone realized a problem.

The mask that Black was wearing was completely different from the one that everyone associated with him.

As such, everyone watching became confused.

Could it be that Black had put on a special mask for the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection?

Black's previous mask had been light silver with three faint patterns on it. It was very easy to replicate.

With just 500 Federation dollars, any metalsmith would be able to create a replica.

This was why Black's fans could imitate him so easily.

The mask that Black was currently wearing had four patterns running down it. They were very faint and resembled silk threads blowing in the wind.

Lu Shuang inhaled sharply when she noticed this.

On Star Web, it had been a point of debate whether Black's mask was actually a fey that had used Tool Transformation.

Lu Shuang had always believed that there was more to Black's mask than met the eye because it had lit up when Black took on the Exquisite Rhino Giraffe's attack.

Given Black's tendency to keep a low profile, he would not create a new mask just for the Radiance Hundred Sequence.

When feys that used Tool Transformation evolved their bloodlines and increased their power, the type of tool they transformed into would not change, but the design would become even more impressive.

The changes to Black's mask perfectly fit this concept.

Lu Shuang was now certain that the cat-species fey that Black had used to defeat her was even stronger now!

Since Lin Yuan had not made a move, Lu Shuang's audience became confused.

They were not alone. Everyone else watching Black's perspective was also confused.

Why wasn't he moving? He had a thoughtful look as though he was sensing something.

As a result, many audience members left the live-streaming room and switched to other perspectives.

They saw that everyone else had already started moving.

As a result, complaints started streaming into the live-streaming room.

Stupid Bean: No way! Can it be that Black thinks that he's too powerful to become a target? Is he planning on standing there until the test ends? Yôur f𝒂vorite stories on 𝒏/o/(v)𝒆/lb𝒊n.c𝒐m

Hating the World: If Black removes his mask, his visual feast will feed me for three days straight! But his mask is so boring!

Strange Father: If another five minutes pass and Black still doesn't move, I will switch to another live-streaming room to watch other candidates!

Please Teach Me the Rest: Look, other people have appeared in Black's perspective view!

At present, Lin Yuan was trying to sense Gao Feng's location through the Ethereal Jellyfish.

A moment later, Lin Yuan got a general sense of where Gao Feng was.

Gao Feng was not far from him.

The test ground was 10,000 square kilometers, and every inch of it was unknown to the participating spirit qi professionals.

Liu Wencheng had said that the first dimensional rift would open three hours after they entered the testing ground. Then, the other dimensional rifts would open every two hours.

A day and a half later, all 20 dimensional rifts would be open.

Hence, after the candidates were sent to the testing ground, the first thing they wanted to do was to find a teammate.

A female candidate's eyes lit up when she spotted Lin Yuan, and she dashed over him on her two-headed flaming dog.

"You must be one of Black's fans too! Haha, I can tell you're a fake fan. Your mask isn't even right! But your mask sure is pretty. My name is Chen Lu. Let's go and look for other candidates together! I'm sure you've realized that we have to cooperate for this test. Everything else can wait for after we manage to survive."

Lin Yuan raised an eyebrow.

This girl named Chen Lu had sure thought of everything!

With such a testing technique, there was no need for a massacre to break out instantly.

Every other candidate was not just an opponent but also a potential teammate.

In the three hours before the first dimensional rift opened, it would be a test of leadership ability.

There had to be a firm decision-maker in every group.

Once the first dimensional rift opened, the tide of dimensional lifeforms would begin their march.

With a new dimensional rift opening every two hours, the battleground would slowly stretch out until the entire test ground was covered.

The appearance of the dimensional rifts made the test into a large-scale version of Capture the Flag.

However, every flag had a mind of its own.

Lin Yuan shook his head in response to Chen Lu's invitation.

Chen Lu glared at Lin Yuan when he turned her down before charging full-speed at him on her two-headed flaming dog.

From the moment that Lin Yuan shook his head, he became an idiot in Chen Lu's eyes.

She thought that he understood what needed to be done in this test.

It would be a waste of time to interact with idiots, and they served no real purpose.

Since she also did not know what kind of power Lin Yuan possessed, Chen Lu felt that it would be better just to eliminate Lin Yuan.

When Chen Lu drew near to Lin Yuan, a thought crossed her mind.

This idiot didn't even summon a fey when he was transported to the testing ground. Having a teammate like him will just get in my way.

Chen Lu had not noticed anything, but the audience members focused on Lin Yuan had caught sight of an amber button falling from Lin Yuan's wrist.

When the amber button landed on the ground, it turned into a grain of sand and burrowed underground.

The eyes of the audience members lit up because they knew Lin Yuan was using a sand-elemental source-type lifeform.

Currently, Lin Yuan was planning on journeying to meet up with Gao Feng.

Soon, to everyone's astonishment, thousands of black feathers shot out of the ground.

The black feathers swirled around Black like a tornado and quickly took the shape of four pairs of wings that attached themselves to Black's back.

With a flap of the wings, Black took to the sky.

1646 The Contestants' Hard Work Cannot Go to Waste!

The first time Lin Yuan logged into Star Web, he was 1.7 meters tall. After consuming the Silver Stamen Gold Luster Cassia nectar and Earth Center Fine Milk, considering the fact that he was still a growing 18-year-old boy, he had already reached a height of about 1.81 meters.

With such a height, he had the ideal height for a male spirit qi professional.

The wings on Lin Yuan's back had different sizes.

Since the wings were mainly for flight and defense, the shape of every feather was molded after Lin Yuan's observation of Gray's feathers.

Hence, Lin Yuan's wings greatly resembled that of a crane.

The wings were not arranged in an orderly manner. But when they flapped, they perfectly came together to fulfill the laws of mechanics.

Moreover, they had the rhythm of a soaring crane.

Overall, they were majestic!

Most of the spectators focused on Lin Yuan could not help but gasp.

Sunlight: What the hell? Black now has wings on his back! Has he fused with some sort of avian-type fey?

Cold Rain Ice: My husband is so handsome. If only he'll pick me up bridal style and take me for a spin around the sky!

I Love Tigers!: When Black fought on the Celestial Stairway, he never showed this move! It looks like he will finally be revealing some new tricks during this Radiance Hundred Sequence selection.

Heart of Dreams: I don't think Black has fused with a fey. He grew wings, but no other part of him has changed. Didn't you see that the black feathers came out of the ground? These black feathers are formed from the amber button that turned into a sand granule.

Speechless: I'm not going to guess! We'll get an answer from a post soon! Those bigshots will figure out how Black's wings came about in ten minutes.

Lin Yuan flew off in Gao Feng's direction.

Along the way, he spotted many contestants and even passed Chen Lu riding on her two-headed flaming dog, who looked up at him in shock.

Lin Yuan was intentionally not picking another person to team with besides Gao Feng because he was confident that he would be able to keep any spirit qi professional alive for three days.

Thus, it would be unfair to the other contestants if Lin Yuan picked another teammate.

Every participating contestant had been preparing for this Radiance Hundred Sequence selection for a long time.

This was an important turning point in their lives.

All their hard work culminated at this moment.

They were chosen by their cities so they could bring glory as members of the Radiance Hundred Sequence.

Lin Yuan, who worked night and day, could understand this.

He could not waste the contestants' hard work.

When Lin Yuan, Liu Jie, Gu Lang, Zong Ze, An He, and Gao Feng met up for their discussion, An He suggested that Lin Yuan and Gao Feng take out the most powerful contestants right from the get-go until only eight contestants of average power were left.

They would then take on the Freedom Federation envoy group with these eight contestants.

Through this, they would use another method to preserve the Radiance Federation's top young talents.

After An He brought up this suggestion, Lin Yuan shot it down.

If they ruined the Radiance Hundred Sequence test in front of the entire Radiance Federation and two federation envoy groups, they would be bringing disgrace to the Radiance Federation.

Additionally, this would make the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection meaningless, and it was likely that all the honor that came with being a member of the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection would be stripped for the next few years.

Lin Yuan did not have the right to bring shame on the hard work that these contestants had put in, nor could he tarnish the Radiance Federation's honor.

The Freedom Federation envoy group's leader had changed from a Freedom Envoy to a member of royalty. But neither of them were stupid.

If Lin Yuan did such a thing, it would alert the Freedom Federation that the Radiance Federation was aware of an impending scheme.

That would be very bad news!

Lin Yuan had to see this test through with Gao Feng so they could survive the remaining three days together and emerge as two of the ten victors.

Once the Source Sand fell to the ground, it burrowed down to a depth of 50 meters and started smashing apart rocks rapidly to generate large amounts of sand.

The deeper underground it was, the slower it would generate sand and the more spiritual power it would have to use.

Nonetheless, Lin Yuan chose this option because he wanted to scout the underground. Findd new 𝒔tories on nov/e(l)

Only rocks were present 50 meters underground.

The sand generated from breaking the rocks was stronger than the sand made from dirt.

Additionally, if there happened to be a Class 2 subterranean dimensional rift amongst the dimensional rifts that randomly opened, the thickness of 50 meters of sand above it would not cause the ground to collapse.

The Source Sand had reached Diamond X/Fantasy V and could generate sand rapidly.

One granule of sand could grind down all the rocks within a few seconds in a ten-square meter radius.

The yellow sand extended alongside Lin Yuan as he flew.

None of the audience members on Star Web was aware of this.

Only Mystic Moon, the Spacetime Elder, and another member of royalty raised their eyebrows in surprise. However, none of them said anything. Instead, they focused more of their attention on Lin Yuan.

The Spacetime Elder and the other member of royalty knew that Mystic Moon had intentionally sealed off Black's information.

If he possessed a Diamond X/Fantasy V source-type lifeform at such a young age, he could only be the Moon Empress' disciple Lin Yuan.

The audience members waiting for analysis posts quickly found a post written by Master Duan Li.

Duan Li had become an expert analyst on Black. She had been researching Black's feys and trying to uncover his secrets before sharing what she learned on Star Web.

This allowed her reputation to rise, and she lived like an online celebrity now. Many people called her 'The Sellout Class 4 Creation Master."

However, Master Duan Li did not care. Her mind was only filled with increasing curiosity about Black.

Duan Li found it abnormal for a young expert to possess such power.

Duan Li: According to my observation, the black wings are not a result of Black fusing with a fey. If my eyes don't deceive me, the wings' feathers are made of Day and Night Spirit Silver. If Black injects spirit qi into them, they should be able to turn white.

As such, my hypothesis is that Black's sand-elemental source-type lifeform either has the ability to consume and manipulate metal or Black has a fey or source-type lifeform with the ability to control metal, and that's the thing that controls the wings' movements.

1647 Why Does it Seem Like a Vacation?

When the Star Web users saw Master Duan Li's post, they gained a basic understanding of Black's wings.

After all, any person with half a brain would know not to question a Class 4 Creation Master.

Given the knowledge that a Class 4 Creation Master possessed, they could even analyze an emperor-class expert's Myth Breed fey, much less a young talent like Black.

The Star Web users started following Master Duan Li's account.

Master Duan Li seemed to have latched onto Black of late as she continuously searched for information about him.

No matter how astonishing Black's performance was, they could just read Master Duan Li's post and would immediately gain a better understanding of Black's feys.

After Lin Yuan met Chen Lu and flew up into the air, many spirit qi professionals caught sight of him and started chasing him on their avian-type feys.

However, Lin Yuan was too quick.

When he was flying in a rush, he was even quicker than the Platinum Divine Travel Black Swallow.

Thus, none of the contestants with avian-type feys managed to stop Lin Yuan.

Gao Feng did not have an avian-type fey.

Two contestants appeared next to him when he was transported to the testing ground.

Both the contestants had invited Gao Feng.

Gao Feng knew that both these contestants wanted to gain authority, and the one he chose to side with would obtain that authority.

Just like Lin Yuan, Gao Feng had no intention of forming a team.

Gao Feng wanted Lin Yuan to use the Ethereal Jellyfish's tentacle to sense his location and come to meet up with him.

Thus, Gao Feng rejected the two candidates.

Neither of the candidates recognized Gao Feng.

The fatter contestant was about to leave when the skinnier contestant invited Gao Feng again. He even summoned two other feys, and the three wolf-species feys started howling at Gao Feng.

The man was nonchalant toward his three wolf-species feys' reaction. Evidently, he wanted to use them to threaten Gao Feng.

But there was no way that Gao Feng would allow himself to be threatened.

He came from a top faction and was used to being put on a pedestal. As such, he had developed a stubborn sense of pride.

Gao Feng immediately replied, "I'm not interested in joining."

Gao Feng's actions caused the contestant's body to turn to jelly.

Every contestant had been assessed prior to the selection. They were all elites chosen from their generation and should not be dumb, albeit not all of them were geniuses.

This contestant was fully aware of how precious every second was at this stage. Yet, he had wasted so much time on this person only to still end up being shot down.

He had wasted all his time!

If he could convince someone to follow him and gain authority, it would make it easier to convince a third person to join their party because it was natural for a person to seek out the protection of a group when they were in danger.

Otherwise, this contestant would just have to wait to be recruited by another group.

When the dimensional rifts started opening in the testing ground, those without authority would become insignificant within their teams and be sent to the frontlines to fight the dimensional lifeforms.

As a result, they would easily be eliminated.

Thus, in order to become a member of the Radiance Hundred Sequence, Gao Feng became a necessary target to this boy.

This was why the young man revealed his true intentions despite knowing he was being watched.

"Friend, I'll be straight with you! If you don't leave with me, I will have no choice but to eliminate you."

The young man was one of the 100 contestants sent from Golden Edge City and was considered one of the top 80% strongest contestants.

After basking in confidence for so long, the young man did not feel a shred of fear toward Gao Feng.

Gao Feng was only 24 years old this year, but he looked to only be about 21 years old. L𝒂aTest nov𝒆ls on (n)𝒐velbi/𝒏.co𝒎

During their conversation, the young man realized Gao Feng was a support-type spirit qi professional. This was the reason he dared to try and corner Gao Feng.

Gao Feng frowned.

He was well aware of what this young man's intentions were.

The three wolves had not stopped howling from the moment they were summoned.

This annoyed Gao Feng greatly, but he did not immediately attack the young man. Instead, he said, "I have no plans to team up with you, and you don't have to threaten me with your three feys. Otherwise, I will start fighting back!"

The young man was stunned as he could not understand what Gao Feng was thinking.

You're just a support-type spirit qi professional. What makes you think you can take me on? I'm a power offense-type spirit qi professional. I am the worst match-up for support-type and healing-type spirit qi professionals in such close quarters. There is no one else besides the two of us here. If not me, do you even have a better teammate option available?

The young man decided to attack Gao Feng with his feys to see if Gao Feng would continue to be so stubborn.

As such, he ordered one of his wolf-species feys, "Black Rock Crushing Bone Wolf, bite him! Only release when he agrees to join me!"

At the same moment that the young man issued the order, a large light green and white rose appeared in Gao Feng's hand.

The rose swayed and bloomed.

A strong gust of wind blew the young man and his three feys far away.

Gao Feng decided to give the young man a chance by not killing him. Otherwise, the violent wind from the Diamond X/Fantasy V Breeze Hibiscus could have ripped the Gold Black Rock Crushing Bone Wolves to pieces.

Gao Feng knew that Lin Yuan was sensing his location using the Ethereal Jellyfish's tentacle. Hence, Gao Feng took out the Ethereal Jellyfish's tentacle and did not move from his spot.

Gao Feng was confident that Lin Yuan would be able to find him within the next three hours before the first dimensional rift opened.

From Lin Yuan's perspective view, Cicada Song could tell that Lin Yuan was flying in the direction of Gao Feng.

Cicada Song nodded when he saw how Gao Feng had handled the situation.

Despite being annoyed by the other party, Gao Feng still managed to forgive him. This was clear proof of his magnanimity.

However, a character like this needed to be properly trained. Otherwise, he would not be able to achieve success.

While he was flying, Lin Yuan attracted the attention of most of the audience.

The other contestants were preoccupied with teaming up and interacting with each other. The leaders of two teams were even communicating and negotiating an alliance to take on the insect tide together.

As for Black, he seemed more like he was on vacation than taking a test.

1648 Debates About Black!

The Radiance Hundred Sequence selection had changed from a private event to a publicly broadcasted event.

The actions of every member of the Radiance Hundred Sequence would be put on display for everyone to see.

There were only a few thousand contestants but billions of Star Web users from the Radiance Federation.

On average, every person would have the eyes of millions of people on them.

Nonetheless, the more popular contestants would garner more attention. Diiscover new 𝒔tories at n𝒐ve/lbin.c/o𝒎

For example, Black had been insulted for Lin Yuan's sake for the past two weeks. Then suddenly, the tables were turned as he broke the Celestial Stairway record and made it to god-class.

All that activity had culminated in Black becoming the contestant with the most attention on him.

Even those who were not Black's fans also chose to watch his perspective view out of sheer curiosity.

Black's haters finally found something they could post about.

[I admit that Black is powerful. However, there's no way he will be able to take on multiple dimensional rifts on his own! Even a Class 1 dimensional rift produces at least 1,000,000 alien beasts per wave!]

[I agree. Moreover, the test summary stated that Class 2 dimensional rifts would open as well. What is Black doing? I can't help but think that he isn't respecting the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection!]

[Agreed! My son is one of the contestants! He is already part of a five-man team, and they've found a cave to take cover in.]

Regardless of whether they meant to, the posts all disparaged Black.

These posts were posted in Black's official forum. Thus, it did not take long for his fans to see them.

Black's fans shot back angrily.

[All my husband is doing is flying around for a bit. Yet, people are calling him disrespectful! How is he disrespecting the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection? With his power, he will even be able to defeat seven- or eight-man teams!]

[Disgusting! The one who mentioned your son, please wake up! Many contestants are already part of teams of more than ten people. Your son's team is done for if they encounter any one of these other teams!]

[I'm just curious whether Black is flying with a plan in mind or doing it aimlessly. If he just wants to scout out the environment, he can send out that small blue bird!]

Lin Yuan's action was stirring up debate on Star Web, but he was none the wiser about it. His mind was focused on finding Gao Feng.

Lin Yuan did not stop observing his surroundings while he flew, and he caught sight of numerous contestants with leadership potential.

There was a team that grew to 17 members within five minutes.

The group chose a position that would be difficult to attack but easy to defend before they started setting up their defenses.

The young girl in charge of that team was orchestrating her earth-species fey to fortify the defenses.

Lin Yuan could be certain of her leadership abilities but found her foresight to be lacking.

If Lin Yuan did not possess as much power as he did and was an ordinary contestant, he would not want to put together a team so early on in the test.

This was because he did not know the other contestants well. They were all rivals, so how could they be trusted to watch each other's backs?

Moreover, it was not realistic to be able to form a team capable of standing up against dimensional rifts with only three hours of preparation time.

After all, no one could control the movements of others, and trying to search such a vast space would be completely luck-dependent.

The first dimensional rift would be opening in three hours.

The formations of the alien beasts would cause many areas to become death zones.

This test was actually designed to eliminate many contestants from the beginning.

No matter how well-prepared one was at the beginning, it would be useless.

There would only be a point if one managed to make it to the final ten.

Before the test, Liu Wencheng had said that if more than ten people were left when the three days were up, the testing ground would start to shrink.

Hence, the best choice would be to head to the testing ground's center and build defenses there.

No matter how sturdy the girl managed to build her stronghold, she could not withstand the alien beasts' stampede.

A large stampede of alien beasts could cause the ground to shake.

While Lin Yuan was flying, he noticed many intelligent people.

These smart people would immediately scout out their surroundings to situate themselves before heading for the center.

They did not have to reach the center within three hours.

Within ten hours, before the fourth dimensional rift opened, they would have the chance to reach the center.

While they were heading to the center, it would also give them a chance to meet more people.

Although the random openings of the dimensional rifts were meant to make the test fair, they had to open from the edge and start moving inward.

If this system was not followed, the contestants would not survive unless they had Diamond feys.

At that moment, a man riding a small crimson avian-type fey chased after Lin Yuan and shouted, "You must be Black! I'm Sequence #93 of the previous Radiance Hundred Sequence! I can join your group!"

The members of the Radiance Hundred Sequence possessed far more foresight than the regular contestants.

From the speed of Lin Yuan's flight, Sequence #93 Chao Tianlin immediately recognized his identity.

Although the mask was different, no one besides Black would be able to fly at such speed.

Chao Tianlin's main fey could only catch up to Lin Yuan by using its exclusive skill. It could not be clearer that there was a problem!

Chao Tianlin was intelligent and would not ask Black to join his team from the moment they met.

Currently, Black was alone.

Chao Tianlin felt that it would be a great opportunity for him if he could become Black's teammate.

Black first gained popularity on Star Web when he single-handedly saved Millstone Town from a Class 1 alien insect dimensional rift.

Black's plant-type fey could take on alien beasts. As such, there was no question that he would make it to one of the ten survivors.

There could be no disadvantage that came from being by Black's side.

However, Chao Tianlin did not expect Black to turn him down after he revealed his identity.

After rejecting Chao Tianlin, Lin Yuan flapped his wings, and another three pairs of wings sprouted from his back.

1649 If They Win, Everyone Cheers! If They Lose, Everyone Grieves!

The three pairs of wings were three times the length of Black's original wings.

When the giant black wings flapped, Black flew even faster.

Chao Tianlin watched as Black disappeared into the distance and scratched the back of his bald head.

He could not figure out what was running through Black's mind.

If Black wanted teammates, there would be no one better than Chao Tianlin among the contestants.

So why did Black reject me? He even grew wings. He looked so cool!

As one of the previous members of the Radiance Hundred Sequence who had an eye-catching combat style and also occasionally live-streamed on Star Web, he had a significant following on Star Web.

The audience members watching Black and Chao Tianlin were all stunned.

It might be reasonable for Black to reject other people, but why did he reject Chao Tianlin too?

At that moment, the members of royalty on the golden pillars had already guessed that Black was the Moon Empress' disciple.

From the direction that Black was flying, it was obvious that he was making a beeline for Gao Feng.

A strange look came over Liu Wencheng, and he sighed to himself.

"Whether the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection will proceed as per expectations will depend on these two boys!"

Liu Wencheng had put a lot of effort into preparing for the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection.

He had run countless tests in order to ensure that everything was as comprehensive and fair as possible.

However, Lin Yuan and Gao Feng were like two BUGs in his system.

If Lin Yuan even rejected Chao Tianlin as a teammate, anyone else would be able to receive a free ride if Lin Yuan chose them.

When the Moon Empress heard Liu Wencheng's lament, she said, "My disciple knows where the line is. He will know what to do at such a time."

While she spoke, the Moon Empress looked toward where the Freedom Federation envoy group was seated and went on to say, "I suggest that after the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection ends, the challenge battle with the Freedom Federation envoy group should also be broadcasted on Star Web!"

The Moon Empress' words stupefied the other members of royalty.

The Spacetime Elder frowned but quickly realized what the Moon Empress' intentions were.

Mystic Moon, the Spacetime Elder, and another member of the royalty were always instantly up to date on everything that happened on Star Web.

Black had already appeared in many debates on Star Web.

If the debates were not settled after the Radiance Hundred Sequence ended, they would become actual topics for conversation.

Moreover, even if Black intended to remove his mask to reveal his identity, he would not do so during the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection.

There was no way that Lin Yuan would prematurely reveal to the Freedom Federation envoy group that he was the Moon Empress' disciple.

If the challenge was broadcast on Star Web, all the topics and debates surrounding Black would vanish.

Moreover, everyone would know that Black was putting his life on the line to safeguard the Radiance Federation's pride!

The Moon Empress' suggestion was understandable.

However, Iron Prison always liked to plan for the worst-case scenario and said, "If they lose the fight, the live stream will become an everlasting open wound for the Radiance Federation."

Cicada Song's lips twitched when he heard what Iron Prison said.

It seemed that Iron Prison and the Moon Empress would never be able to mend the bridge between them in this lifetime.

Can't you wait to listen to what other people have to say? Why do you have to say something so distasteful? If Lin Yuan dies at the hands of the Freedom Federation envoy group, the Moon Empress will definitely go berserk! If Gao Feng dies, I won't be able to stay silent either.

The Moon Empress glared at Iron Prison before she said, "Even if we do lose, what's wrong with letting the world know about it? The 13 of us can't overcome such a thing on our own! In order to truly protect the Radiance Federation, all of us have to step in. Every citizen has equal ownership of the Radiance Federation."

Iron Prison did not respond when he heard what the Moon Empress said. Instead, he seriously pondered over her words.

At that moment, the elderly man seated on the center pillar said, "Let's do as the Moon Empress suggested. The ten people who will emerge from the selection will battle for the Radiance Federation. They are heroes of the Radiance Federation. If they win, everyone will cheer. If they lose, everyone will grieve."

The elderly man's words were the final hammer in the nail. The conversation ended right there and there.

Iron Prison did not add anything. Instead, he balled his fists and thought, Lin Yuan, Gao Feng, the two of you have to win.

…

Lin Yuan flew so swiftly that he was almost out of spiritual power.

With a wave of his hand, he used Spirit Injection on himself.

He could have summoned Blackie and rode it to meet up with Gao Feng. However, Black's presence was still a secret to the Freedom Federation envoy group.

Lin Yuan considered Blackie one of his secret weapons. As a secret weapon, it could not be revealed flippantly.

A talented Creation Master would be able to guess what Blackie's bloodline was from the abilities it used.

Although it was difficult to guess abilities, it would be possible for someone to guess that Blackie had the exclusive skill Spirit Qi Imprint based on Lin Yuan's previous battle performances.

It did not escape the audience's notice that Lin Yuan had used Spirit Injection.

The fans who had been following Black since the beginning were reminded of his fight against Chen Hongfeng and how he regained his spiritual power then as well.

However, his current recovery abilities were on a completely different level from before.

Given Black's healing and spirit recovery abilities, he would be a pivotal member of any team.

Black's old fans were all aware of this.

However, the people who had never seen Black fight and did not know about him were all confused.

Are you a healing-, support-, or combat-type spirit qi professional? When did the lines between spirit qi occupations become so blurred?

It was possible for a person to have talent in two combat-types, but they would still end up subject to a caveat. For example, they could only contract snake-species feys or special insects.

It could be said that people with such talents were not any better than spirit qi professionals who could contract a whole array of feys.

Chu Ci was one example of this.

However, Black had already proved that he could contract numerous types of feys, including cats, birds, plants, and insects. He was skilled at healing, support, and even power offense.

At that moment, everyone was even more curious about Black's feys.

The audience members on Star Web were not the only ones curious about Black's feys. Even the members of royalty who watched Lin Yuan during the Guard Ye Banquet were also curious about his feys. Discover 𝒏ew chapters at novelbi𝒏.co𝒎

At that moment, Tian Feng could not help but ask the Moon Empress out of curiosity, "Xiyue, what feys has your disciple contracted? We aren't outsiders, so there's no harm in telling us."

1650 Tian Feng is Dazed!

While he was speaking, Tian Feng fiddled with the two pairs of peanuts in his hands.

The peanuts seemed to contain something terrifying as the air rippled around them as Tian Feng moved them around.

The ripples were very similar to vitality, yet they also had a completely different type of power that occasionally peeked out from the peanut shells before being quickly sucked back in.

The other members of royalty were already used to seeing Tian Feng toying with his sacred source lifeform.

The Moon Empress glared at Tian Feng before hissing. "Why don't you offer up your Harvest Power? Tell the 12 of us how the Harvest Power comes about."

Everyone present knew how important privacy was to the Moon Empress.

Till now, her secret source lifeform was still a mystery.

Thus, from the moment Tian Feng asked his question, the other members of royalty immediately expected her to rebuke him.

Due to Wang Fuxiang, a sizable grudge was now wedged between Tian Feng and the Bamboo Monarch.

No man would be able to forgive another for wanting to kill his wife, even if it jeopardized his country or was actually for his benefit. Hence, the Bamboo Monarch said, "If Tian Feng is willing to fully give out the Harvest Power and reveal its make-up, I will offer up 1,000 leaves of the Golden Thearch Bamboo."

The Bamboo Monarch said this to intentionally annoy Tian Feng.

The taciturn man next to the Bamboo Monarch faltered in his wooden expression.

The Golden Thearch Bamboo's leaves were extremely nourishing for wood-type feys. They could evolve the bloodlines of wood-species feys or even enable non-wood-type feys to become wood-type.

They would be extremely nourishing for the taciturn man's feys.

Thus, the middle-aged man said, "Old Tian, the Bamboo Monarch has shown that he's serious. It's time for you to contribute too!"

Tian Feng was stunned. He looked at the two men and thought angrily, Don't pretend that none of you is curious about what feys Lin Yuan has! Why do I have to shoulder all the responsibility just because I voice the question that all of us are thinking? Are you trying to bully the elderly? Let me show you that there's someone even more simple-minded than me here!

Tian Feng turned to Ji Changdeng, who was watching the selection, and said, "Changdeng, I'm sure that no one is more curious about the Moon Empress' disciple's feys than you! I heard that her disciple is friends with your youngest disciple!"

Ji Changdeng did not expect Tian Feng to suddenly ask him about the Moon Empress' disciple.

Of course I want to know! I want to know everything that's related to the Moon Empress! But what are you suddenly asking me for?

Ji Changdeng knew that it would not be appropriate for him to say anything in such a circumstance.

He was a hopeless obedient puppy but still needed to be respectful, especially since his first disciple was in the vicinity.

Tian Feng's eyebrow twitched when Ji Changdeng did not respond.

He had changed the topic just like that. It was easy!

How dare all of you target my Harvest Power. If I give the Harvest Power to you, how will Cultivated Garden continue to accumulate immense resources?

Besides Cicada Song, whose gaze never left Gao Feng, the other 12 members of royalty were all focused on Lin Yuan.

After all, no one else was showing promise yet.

As the overseer of the test, Liu Wencheng managed many invigilators.

There were two invigilators to one contestant who wrote a detailed account of everything that that contestant did.

These invigilators had the authority to write reviews of the contestant, and professionals would assess the reviews later before finally submitting them to Liu Wencheng. ALL new 𝒄hapters 𝒐n n𝒐v(𝒆)

Hence, Liu Wencheng did not need to pay attention to every contestant during the test.

Liu Yifan had been paying attention to the 11 original members of the Radiance Hundred Sequence who were also participating in the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection, but he quickly noticed that Black stood out and started focusing on him as well.

Lin Yuan was completely unaware that he had the eyes of half of the Radiance Federation trained on him.

However, not all the people behind these eyes had good things to say about him.

Handsome: What is Black doing? He's just flying about! I can't help but think that he's disrespecting the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection!

Sacred Heart White Tiger: Hello, please go and rest the posts. The analyses are already out! Anyone with a brain knows that the right thing to do now is to rush to the center.

Vegetable Rain: But will the terrain become smoother toward the center? Black isn't flying in the direction of the center. He's flying toward the edge!

Blind Fish: Can all of you hold back your opinions? The first dimensional rift hasn't even opened yet! I for one hope that Black will leave the pack. This way, he'll be able to reveal his true power when he faces the alien beast tide.

Lin Yuan had no idea about the ongoing debates on Star Web.

If he was aware, he would be over the moon because good and bad discussions about him would count toward his popularity.

He was not trying to be famous but because the amount of faith power he possessed increased proportionally to his popularity.

Once the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection, everything would reach a checkpoint, and Lin Yuan planned on taking a trip to the Divine Wood Federation's Sacred Wood Mystic Realm then.

Next, he would raise Sky City to the sky above the Divine Wood Federation, where he would be able to proceed with gaining control of the Startling Lines Continent.

After he was done with all this, he would head to the Marsh East Palace in the marsh world to obtain more precious source-type items and sacred source lifeforms as well as find the thing that Morbius required.

He already sensed that he was getting nearer to Gao Feng.

Lin Yuan estimated that he had been flying for at least two and a half hours.

During this, he had used Spirit Injection on himself every 15 minutes.

This was because he needed to use spiritual power to fly and because the Source Sand was generating a large amount of sand underground to keep up with Lin Yuan's flight speed.

Thus, he used up spiritual power very quickly.

By the time Lin Yuan spotted Gao Feng, a group of contestants had already made it to the center of the testing ground.

When they encountered each other at the center, a fight broke out among the contestants.

As a result, numerous contestants had already been eliminated.

This clash was the first highlight of the Radiance Hundred Sequence selection.

Finally, the forums were filled with posts besides those that discussed Black.

The most buzzworthy topic now was the clash that was taking place.
