Heroes are useless
"The Law of Energy Purification?" Xia Fei furrowed his brows. "Why does such a strange law exist?"
Yuhua smiled and said, "There are thousands of laws in the universe. Under normal circumstances, the laws of space, matter, and time are known as the three great laws. Aside from the three great laws, there are also the laws of energy, black hole, white hole, and other strange laws. The law of energy purification is just a branch of the law of energy that specializes in energy conversion."
"The Laws are profound. Every clan, and even every individual, has a different understanding of the Laws. The effects of the Laws are also vastly different. If a warrior who cultivates the same Law of Space has a different understanding, even if they unleash the same move, the difference will be huge."
"From this point of view, the Law Realm is fair to everyone. Whether or not one is able to possess greater combat power depends entirely on one's innate talent, as well as one's ability to comprehend and comprehend Law."
Xia Fei nodded. He still had the totem of the Law of Primal Chaos on his left arm, which showed that the Law Realm did not only have the Three Great Laws. Actually, Xia Fei was eager to start studying and researching Law as soon as possible, but being able to get some information from experts like Yujiang and Yuhua was not a bad idea either, so he patiently continued listening to them.
Furball groggily crawled out of Xia Fei's arms and jumped onto Xia Fei's shoulder. Seeing Yujiang and Yuhua right across from him, Furball angrily bared his fangs at them. It was as if he had remembered how they had made things difficult for Xia Fei the last time, so he did not have a good impression of the two of them.
Xia Fei telepathically ordered Furball to be more obedient, and the fellow very reluctantly lowered its head, angrily glancing at its foe.
Yujiang and Yuhua were very satisfied with Furball's current state. They looked at each other, and Yujiang said, "This exotic beast of yours looks pretty good."
Xia Fei shrugged. "Furball was originally the size of a basketball, but who would've thought that he'd actually become smaller? Who knows when he'll grow up."
Yujiang laughed. "You can't say that. The higher the level of the beast, the slower its growth. You have to take good care of it."
Xia Fei replied, "Of course."
Yu Jiang nodded his head meaningfully and gave Yu Hua a meaningful look.
Yuhua stood up and said, "I'll take you to the camp where the warriors live and train to report. Let the Patriarch continue fishing."
Standing up, Xia Fei bade farewell to Yujiang and followed Yuhua to a distant city.
The Yu Family was located on an incomparably huge warship. The artificial sun would rise at a fixed time every day, and after sunset, one would be able to see the dazzling galaxy outside the protective shield. Fields, mountains, and streams were all built on the deck of the warship, making it seem like a real world.
Xia Fei was pleasantly surprised by this wondrous place. In terms of size alone, the Yu family's warship was not much smaller than a Titan-class warship. It was as if a planet had been laid out flat.
"The powerful clans in the Law Realm will all build this sort of mobile base, able to transport the entire clan to roam the stars at will. If there's nothing special, the warriors won't be able to leave the base. If they want to leave, they'll need to get permission and then use a spatial gate to get to where they want to go. Of course, traveling through spatial gates also costs money, and the price varies according to the distance." Yujiang pointed to a huge semicircular building at the edge of the city.
"As for this city, it's where the warriors live and cultivate, while the cities further away are where their families live. You're currently a Law disciple, not a true Law Warrior. There'll be an assessment every three months, and if you pass, you'll be able to obtain the title of Law Warrior. You'll also have more freedom of movement, and the monthly allowance you receive will also be more generous."
The city Yuhua was talking about was very ancient, very different from the style of this astonishingly modern warship. It looked more like a medieval fortress with tall walls, narrow streets, and a moat outside the city.
Many people would greet Yuhua as they walked along the city streets. It was obvious that this profiteer was quite popular.
"I'm a merchant, and these warriors will often come to me to buy things. If you want some goods that'll be hard to find in the Yu family, don't forget to contact me," Yuhua said with a sinister smile.
"Are all these people warriors?" Xia Fei asked.
Yuhua answered, "That's right. Seventy percent of the Yu family's combat power is gathered here, while the rest are out on missions. Most of them are disciples of the family. They were born in the Law Realm and have excellent bloodlines, so it's easy for them to learn Law. There are also some outstanding talents that the Yu family selected from the Alliance, but there aren't many of them. You'll be staying with those disciples from the Alliance."
Xia Fei nodded. Being able to stay with warriors from the Alliance would at least mean that he could take care of them. Xia Fei felt that this arrangement was not bad, but he did not notice that Yuhua had a rather strange smile on his face.
At the equipment area, Xia Fei collected the supplies given by the family: three Purple Origin Crystals, a set of alloy war armor, and a black tag that represented his identity.
The Origin Crystals were of some use to Xia Fei, but he did not even glance at the war armor. It was at most a Star River rank item, and it was far inferior to the one he was currently wearing.
The place he was staying at was in a secluded area. It was a lonely two-story building, and the streets were dark and the buildings were low, making it look very shabby.
There were several young Law disciples sitting in the living room on the first floor. They were gathered together and chatting about something, and when they saw Xia Fei enter, they stood up and glared at him with unfriendly eyes. Xia Fei smiled at them and followed Yuhua up to the second floor, finding his room.
There was a single wooden bed and a set of wooden tables and chairs. The room was small and dark, and even Xia Fei, who did not care much about his surroundings, could not help but frown at such a terrible place.
"It's always tough being a Law disciple. Once you become a true Law Warrior, you'll have your own courtyard. Before that, you'll have to bear with it," Yuhua consoled him.
Swiping his finger across his spatial ring, Yuhua took out ten Purple Energy Crystals and handed them to Xia Fei.
"Three Grade 2 Energy Crystals a month won't be enough, so you can keep these for now. Contact me if you need anything."
Xia Fei accepted the Energy Crystals and thanked him. Yuhua laughed. "I'll put this on your account. You can pay me back when you have the money in the future."
Xia Fei was cursing Yuhua in his heart for being a profiteer, but he kept a smile on his face. After casually telling Xia Fei a few things to take note of, Yuhua turned and left.
Xia Fei let out the little robot Lil Pea from his spatial ring. Lil Pea scanned the filthy room and was on the verge of tears. He could not bear to see Xia Fei living in such a place.
Lil Pea lowered his head and began cleaning the room. Furball was snoring away on the bed. This simple-minded fellow was fine as long as it had food and sleep, not caring about Xia Fei's situation at all.
"Master, you should wait outside for a while. The room will get very dirty while I'm cleaning it," Lil Pea said to Xia Fei.
Xia Fei nodded. He turned around and went downstairs to the common living room, where the Law disciples who had arrived earlier than Xia Fei were still gathered together and chatting. Xia Fei found an empty seat and sat down, picking up a newspaper from the table to read.
"Law Realm Newspaper?" Xia Fei muttered to himself. "I didn't think that there would be newspapers in the Law Realm."
He flipped open the newspaper with interest and saw that there was plenty of news regarding the Law Realm, such as which family's disciple had become a Law Sovereign, which Law Warrior had found a mistress, and so on. There was also quite a bit of gossip.
Xia Fei skimmed through it and noticed that other than Law Warriors, there were also titles like Law Sovereigns, Law Emperors, and so on. Presumably, they were higher-level Law Adepts.
That was when he suddenly heard a strange voice calling his name.
"Xia Fei?"
Raising his head, he saw a fatty in the group calling him. He looked to be about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, with freckles all over his face. His long hair was messy like a chicken's nest, and his beady eyes were darting around as he stared at Xia Fei.
Xia Fei nodded and asked in surprise, "You know me?"
The freckled fatty appeared very excited, yelling, "Come and see! It's really Xia Fei! The great hero who barged into the insectoid territory alone! "
Xia Fei was somewhat pleased. These people had all come to the Law Realm from the Alliance. Xia Fei was a nobody in the Law Realm, but there was no one in the Alliance who did not know who he was, so it was very normal for these people to recognize him.
* Whoosh. *
This shout startled all the Law disciples living in the building. Everyone rushed to the common living room and stared at Xia Fei as if he were a pet.
"It really is Xia Fei. I've seen plenty of news about him in the Alliance."
"How did this kid come to the Law Realm?"
A thin bespectacled man observed Xia Fei for some time before saying, "Hmm? This guy's seventh brain region is seriously damaged. He's practically trash, so how did he manage to get into the Law Realm?"
"It's really serious. Most of the cells at the edge of his brain region have already died. There's no way for him to cultivate and advance in such a state."
"Trash. He's definitely trash."
The veins on Xia Fei's forehead bulged. He could not remember the last time he had been humiliated like this, and these fellows were definitely not being polite with their words.
"You over there, did you rely on drugs to advance all the way to the Legendary rank?" A pale-skinned young man frivolously asked. Everyone echoed his words, as if he was the leader of these Law disciples.
Xia Fei nodded with a dark expression.
Laughter!
The entire room roared with laughter!
Even a fool would be able to tell that this was an undisguised mockery!
"So the great hero of the Alliance, Xia Fei, is actually trash who relied on drugs to advance!"
"How unexpected. I thought that this kid was some sort of genius, but in the end, he's just a pot of drugs."
Xia Fei clenched his fists. Dignity was the bottom line of a man, and it was something that a warrior would defend no matter what!
However, today, Xia Fei's dignity had been inexplicably tossed down the drain and then ruthlessly stomped on a few times. He could not understand why these people would ridicule him the moment they saw him, as if they had a grudge against him.
"You only have a glib tongue, not a real skill. Are you all going to come at me together or one by one?" Xia Fei's cold gaze swept across the crowd, his killing intent apparent!
The pale-skinned young man took two steps forward and said in a playful tone, "Don't think that you're so great. Hero? That's the hero of the Alliance, the hero of mortals. Mortals, do you understand? When the Alliance was attacked by the insectoids, none of us did anything. Do you know why? It's because we're destined to become noble Law Warriors, and only fools like you would stand up for the suffering of mortals like the Alliance. "
