Starfire Martial University.
In the early hours of the morning, just after six o’clock, Dantai Feng woke from his sleep and went down to the Martial Arts Room to begin a new day of training.
“There probably aren’t many who are as hardworking as I am,” Dantai Feng thought, and then he began to seriously practice his Sword Technique.
“Li Yuan is so strong,”
“If we were to fight all out, I fear I couldn’t hold him off for long,” Dantai Feng recalled the battle scene from yesterday involving Li Yuan.
He was too strong.
“Dazhuang has also made rapid progress, reaching Subtlety so quickly,” Dantai Feng mused to himself, “I need to keep pushing myself.”
In his bones, Dantai Feng was not one to admit defeat.
Barely half an hour later.
Suddenly.
“Master, your great ancestor is calling you,” the assistant AI’s voice rang out.
“Great ancestor?” Dantai Feng was first startled, then he quickly realized and immediately said, “Answer it.”
Hum~
Countless rays of light converged to form a light screen projection, in which appeared a middle-aged man with white hair. His skin was smooth, but his eyes were filled with a sense of age and wisdom.
“Great-great-grandfather!” Dantai Feng said respectfully.
The grandfather of one’s grandfather is indeed the great-great-grandfather.
The Dantai family is one of the top great families in Xia Country, powerful… Dantai Feng might seem carefree, but he was well aware that the high position of his family hinged on the white-haired middle-aged man before him.
One of the three Demigods of Xia Country—Dantai Lie!
He is also one of the highest echelons of the entire Seven Stars human civilization.
“Xiaofeng,” the white-haired middle-aged man smiled slightly, a hint of indulgence in his eyes, “The Blue Star competition virtual battle has ended. How do you rate yourself? How many points out of ten would you give?”
“Nine points,” Dantai Feng said with a smile.
“Oh? And the one point?” the white-haired middle-aged man asked curiously.
“I’m afraid of being arrogant, so I deducted one point,” Dantai Feng shrugged his shoulders, as he was always very open in front of his great-great-grandfather.
“Haha, so you’re saying you’ve given yourself full marks?” the white-haired middle-aged man laughed, not blaming Dantai Feng for his pride.
Dantai Feng was his most outstanding descendant, and he was very satisfied with Dantai Feng’s performance.
“Are you planning to go to Feixing this year, or wait until next year?” the white-haired middle-aged man asked
“Can I go?” Dantai Feng was taken aback.
To his knowledge, although a few exceptional talents are selected in theory, this happens very rarely.
“You broke into the top ten of the virtual battles in your freshman year, why can’t you go?” the white-haired middle-aged man said with a smile, “These Martial God Inheritance spots are not set in stone.”
“Understood, I leave the decision to great-great-grandfather,” Dantai Feng nodded.
“Alright, let it be decided then,” the white-haired middle-aged man said indifferently, “By the way, how is your relationship with Li Yuan?”
“Not bad,” Dantai Feng nodded.
He wasn’t surprised at all that his great-great-grandfather mentioned Li Yuan… Such an exceptional talent would soon become known to the most pinnacle beings of human civilization.
“Good, I’ll prepare a gift for him,” the white-haired middle-aged man nodded slightly, “Try to get along well with him when you go to Feixing.”
“In the future, you both might become Star Masters or even Demigods in the alliance… It’s very important for you to stay united,”
“Yes, great-great-grandfather,”
…
In the distant Wanhan Star Realm, at its depths,
Within a secret location belonging to the Tianliang Clan beneath the continuous glaciers, inside a majestic palace.
“Another improvement?”
“He truly is the newest rising superstar of the Seven Stars human civilization,” a figure in a purple robe reviewed the data on the light screen in front of him, which was full of text messages.
The texts described some of the scenes from the virtual battle finals… but there were only words.
No video of the finals!
Hum~
The light screen before the figure in the purple robe suddenly trembled violently. Following that, the screen flickered, and it now displayed a figure in white clothes, her face as cold as frost and quite beautiful.
But it didn’t evoke the slightest desire, only awe.
“Demigod,” the figure in the purple robe immediately said respectfully.
“Zi Xin,” the voice of the figure in white clothes was icy cold. She stood in the light screen projection, yet her voice echoed in the vast palace.
The figure in the purple robe bowed even lower.
“Number Three is dead,” the figure in white clothes said emotionlessly, “I’ve verified it through a secret technique… no mistake, it was you who arranged for him to assassinate Li Yuan, wasn’t it?”
“Number Three is dead?” The figure in the purple robe was shocked.
He was not yet aware of this.
New information traveled very difficultly between Blue Star and Wanhan Star Realm, and to avoid detection by the Seven Stars human civilization, unless it was a special circumstance, they rarely made contact with each other.
“Demigod, how could Number Three die?” the figure in the purple robe couldn’t help but say, “He had mastered both the Blood Shadow Incarnation and Shadow Stealth secret techniques… even a Demigod would have a hard time tracking him down, right?”
If it came to a direct confrontation, a Demigod could easily crush him, of course.
But why was Number Three renowned as a fearsome assassin? It was his fearless Incarnation and the difficult-to-track Stealth technique.
“The reason is not yet clear,”
“The chances are high that the Seven Stars human civilization has developed the ability to counter moves like Number Three’s,” the figure in white clothes said coldly, “Order all Infiltrators to enter a dormant state temporarily, until the time comes for them to be activated again.”
“Yes,” the figure in the purple robe said in succession, unable to restrain himself from adding, “What about Li Yuan? What should we do?”
“Give up,” the figure in white clothes said coldly, “Number Three was the strongest force we could deploy, and the assassination attempt failed… While there are Flying Heaven Warriors in the Seven Stars human civilization who are willing to trade with us, mostly it is limited to passing on information.”
“To kill Li Yuan? That’s almost certain death, and they will certainly not take such a risk.”
“We can only wait, wait for Li Yuan to enter the Wanhan Star Realm… I believe he will come, and at that point, we’ll find a way to deal with him,” the figure in white clothes said, “To take care of these alien geniuses, patience is required.”
“Yes,” the figure in the purple robe nodded.
In his mind, he thought, after all, you’re the boss, you call the shots.
