In the dining room, Xia Fei was playing with a black ring in his hand as he waited for Lil Pea and Avril to prepare dinner for him.
When he left the Old Ancestor's study, Xia Gucheng had given Xia Fei this ring. It was said that this was the only thing that could prove his identity.
Xia Gucheng really did have a sad history. When he was still a baby, Xia Gucheng had drifted through space in an escape pod, rescued by a passing merchant ship, and raised him.
Very young, Xia Gucheng had already displayed his talent for combat. Alas, his adoptive parents were only ordinary merchants, unable to help him much. He had fought his way out all by himself!
Putting away the ring, Xia Fei lit a cigarette.
The Old Ancestor was not like Xia Fei, who had grown up on Earth. Though his background was very messy, he was still an Earthling at heart. He loved to eat zhajiang noodles, and it had to be the kind with cucumber strips and green onions, and he smoked that pungent cigarette.
When Xia Fei thought about starting his family, he would think back to his days on Earth. Meanwhile, Xia Gucheng's mind was only filled with that empty escape pod, endlessly drifting through space. That ring in his hand was his only childhood playmate.
When Xia Fei told Xia Gucheng what he knew, Xia Gucheng was reminded of his loneliness as a child. As for Xia Fei going to Annihilate, Xia Gucheng had only told him to do his best, but Xia Fei could see the intense doubt in her burning eyes.
The Old Ancestor wanted to know about his background and his people, but he did not want to give Xia Fei too much pressure. After all, Xia Fei was just one person, yet he had to face an entire universe that hated the demons!
While Xia Fei was pondering, Avril had already placed the food on the table.
After eating, Xia Fei put down his bowl and chopsticks and asked, "Avril, do you think that Heaven's Wings is the kind of clan that would betray everyone?"
Avril stuck out her tongue and whispered, "It's not like Heaven's Wings has never done something as crazy as a clan challenging the entire Law Realm, but I think that while the Heaven's Wings Clan is very arrogant, there are many things they do that make sense."
Xia Fei nodded. He had his doubts. Thus, he asked Avril what she thought.
That was right. Given Heaven's Wings' style, it was normal for them to make enemies with anyone. They were capable of doing even the most insane of things. Putting himself in their shoes, if the demons were also like this, Xia Fei believed that they would have their own reasons for suddenly leaving the Hero Alliance.
It was just that Xia Fei could not understand what the reason was.
Ariel felt that the topic was too heavy. So he smiled and said, "Furball has changed a lot this time. I just gave him a few muffins, and he actually ate them on his own. I'll have to spend a lot of effort to force him to eat them."
Xia Fei instantly felt a little awkward. Truth be told, the desserts that Avrils baked were not very tasty, which was what Xia Fei had told Furball back in the Soul Realm.
Xia Fei ate Avrils desserts because he did not want to hurt her feelings, and Furball probably did the same because he did not want to hurt her feelings. Thus, he learned from Xia Fei, swallowing the food no matter how disgusting it was.
…
Three days passed by quickly.
He said goodbye to Avril and the Skywing Wolves. Xia Fei went to Annihilation alone.
The Alpha Cosmos had always had a Universe Gate leading to Annihilation. Annihilation and the Dragon Cosmos belonged to the Twin Stars and were currently the highest-level locations in the universe. The security was extremely tight, and Xia Fei needed someone to lead him, or else he would not be able to pass through the Universe Gate.
Xiu Zetian did not come personally, instead sending a young man by the name of Xiang Ying to fetch Xia Fei.
After boarding Xiang Ying's warship at the predetermined location, the two went to the core of the Alpha Cosmos. The path to Annihilation was in the bustling Central District.
Xiang Ying did not look to be over thirty years old. He was talkative and good-looking, and he was in charge of external affairs in Dark Soul. The true experts who carried out secret missions lived in the dark and would not easily show themselves.
The ship docked at a civilian airport. Xiang Ying brought Xia Fei to the bustling city. Both sides of the road were bustling with traffic. The Dark Spiritualist incident had gradually calmed down, and the entire universe was in a period of recovery.
"Aren't we going to the Universe Gate?" Xia Fei curiously asked. No matter how he looked at it, this was just a big city. There was no sign of a Universe Gate.
Xiang Ying smiled. "It'll take half a day to go through the Universe Gate. The chieftain is in a hurry to see you, so we'll take the smaller path this time. We'll go directly to Stove Fort to register and then head back to headquarters, saving thirty-six hours of time."
Just like a scene out of a novel, the bustling city had a hidden path to Annihilation. Xia Fei and Xiang Ying used the spacetime tunnel to enter Annihilation under an unremarkable financial company.
There was an oasis in the vast desert, with a few date palms and a small pond. This gave the desolate desert some flavor of life.
Stove Fort was built on this oasis. Though the earthy yellow fortress was unremarkable, it was the first stop of the four dragonriders' reserve teams. They had to register here and undergo the first assessment of the dragonrider system. Most of them were also required to stay in Stove Fort and undergo intensive training to reach the lowest requirements of being a dragonrider.
The temperature was very high. Xiang Ying wiped the sweat off his forehead and pointed at the nearby yellow fortress. "That's Stove Fort. Go register as a reserve dragonrider first, get the registration certificate, and then leave with me. Sorry, I can't go with you. The sudden appearance of someone from Dark Soul in a place like this will make some fellows very uneasy."
Xia Fei nodded and walked toward Stove Fort. It seemed that this Dark Soul team had a lot of weight. When they passed by the spatial transfer array just now, Xiang Ying only needed to flash his identity, and he did not even need to register before he was immediately let through.
There were almost no guards in Stove Fort. Built in the middle of a desert, those who could come here were either from the headquarters of the four dragonriders or from the reserve teams. What kind of status did a dragonrider have? Even a fool would not barge into a dragonrider preparation center for no reason, unless they were tired of living.
Entering the courtyard without any obstruction, he followed Xiang Ying's directions and found the registration area. This was a small courtyard in Furnace Fort, and there were only a few people standing there. It looked like they were also preparing to register as dragonriders, just like Xia Fei.
There were only three windows in the courtyard: the Holy Light Dragonriders, the Mandate Dragonriders, and the Dark Moon Dragonriders. As for the Evil Shadow Dragonriders, Xia Fei could not find where to register.
The three great dragonriders' registration areas were quite different. The Holy Light Dragonriders' window occupied the most prominent position, followed by the Mandate Dragonriders. The worst off was the Dark Moon Dragonriders. Not only was it arranged in a corner, but its window was also much smaller than the other two. It was dark and low.
This arrangement just happened to prove the difference in status of the dragonriders. The Holy Light Dragonriders of the universe's number one race were the strongest, while the Mandate Dragonriders of the Blue Blood Race were second. The Dark Moon Dragonriders formed by the smaller races were equivalent to a ragtag army and had no status at all.
Frowning, Xia Fei went to the side of the Holy Light Dragonriders. At this moment, there were three young humans waiting. The one at the front had even brought over a chair and was sitting on it with his legs crossed.
"May I ask where the registration area of the Evil Shadow Dragonriders is?" Xia Fei asked politely.
* Whoosh ~ *
The moment the words left his mouth. Xia Fei was met with several surprised gazes. There were only seven or eight people in the courtyard, and all of them were staring at Xia Fei.
"What did you say?!" the young man sitting on the chair asked in shock.
"I want to register as an Evil Shadow Dragonrider," Xia Fei said unhurriedly.
It was as if the words Evil Shadow Dragonriders had some sort of magical power. Everyone began to look at Xia Fei with unfriendly gazes. However, Xia Fei did not care about such a scene. He scanned the surroundings and said in a deep voice, "What? Are you all unclear? "
The moment he said this, the young man sitting on the chair stood up and pointed at Xia Fei. "F * cking dogs. Are you crazy? There are no more Evil Shadow Dragonriders in this world! "
This young man had a rather noble air about him. Not only was he dressed extravagantly, but his eyes also had a domineering temperament.
Xia Fei furrowed his brows. Just as he was about to say something, the young man spoke again. "The Evil Shadow Dragonriders are the greatest traitors in the entire universe! Our ancestors suffered from the scourge of the Evil Shadow Dragonriders. Brat, if you dare mention the words Evil Shadow in front of me again, I, your grandfather, will break your legs! "
"Well said!"
"I hate the Evil Shadow Dragonriders the most!"
The surrounding people actually cheered. It was very clear that the accumulated resentment was too deep, and the name of the Evil Shadow Dragonriders was not to be liked.
That young man put his hands on his waist, feeling that he was in the limelight this time.
* Crack! *
* Thump! *
No one could see clearly what was going on. All they saw was that the young man who spoke rudely was sent flying!
A speed type was a speed type after all! Xia Fei broke this person's arm and sent him flying with a kick. It only took a ten-thousandth of a second!
"Speed type!"
"He's a speed-type warrior!"
The crowd panicked, and someone hurriedly helped the young man up. It was clear that because Xia Fei was an Evil Shadow Dragonrider, no one was willing to stand beside him.
Xia Fei smiled, seemingly not caring how others looked at him. He muttered to himself, "It seems that you guys don't know where the Evil Shadow Dragonriders are registered. Then don't waste this daddy's time. "
This kind of attitude was extremely rude and unreasonable!
He coldly swept his eyes over the surroundings. Though he did not say anything, his eyes were clearly filled with disdain. It was as if even if these people ganged up on him, Xia Fei had nothing to fear.
"Xia Fei, you're too high profile," Radix secretly said to Xia Fei.
Xia Fei disapprovingly said, "This daddy isn't here to be bullied. Besides, this is how I usually do things. If I were to restrain myself the moment Annihilation arrived, it would instead cause others to suspect me."
That young man gritted his teeth and stood up with the help of others. He said, "The Evil Shadow Dragonriders are rebelling! Let's go together and take him down! "
Only a few responded. After all, Xia Fei's attack was ruthless, and he was a speed type that was very difficult to deal with. Everyone still had lingering fears from what had just happened.
At this moment, Furball suddenly jumped out from Xia Fei's arms and roared at the other dragonrider reserve members. His attitude was even more unreasonable than Xia Fei's!
Everyone instantly paled in fright, involuntarily retreating far away.
Furball, who was at max level and had absorbed Dragon Breath, was not just for show. His voice was filled with dignity!
"Holy beast!"
"It's a Starshatterer! A peak Starshatterer?! "
The faces of these young men changed, not daring to take another step forward. Furball did not care about what they were doing, running back into Xia Fei's arms as if nothing had happened.
"Just you wait!"
The young man whose arm Xia Fei had broken threw down this threat and ran to the front yard, dragging his broken arm as if to find help.
Xia Fei lit a cigarette. His first day in Annihilation was not very smooth, and he could not help but sigh. The Evil Shadow Dragonriders' flag was rather inauspicious. It was practically a flag that was looking for trouble!
Suddenly, he saw a door open next to the registration area, and a rather chubby hand reached out and waved at Xia Fei, as if asking him to enter.
