Everywhere!
Xia Fei was a maniac. Be it his cultivation or his promotion speed, he was far faster than the average person. The Yu family was well aware of this, and Mu Nanchen had also heard of it.
If it was said that Xia Fei already had the strength of a level 9 warrior, then the news that Xia Fei had accidentally become an Energy Master was akin to a bolt of lightning falling from the sky. It struck everyone's heads!
The Law Realm was built on the foundation of energy, and Energy Masters were like the cornerstones of a skyscraper. Their status was unparalleled!
Xia Fei accidentally became an Energy Master?!
Just how careless did he have to be?!
It must be mentioned that Xia Fei had learned the Law of Energy Purification without anyone's guidance!
Without the foundation of the Law of Energy, without the assistance of an Energy Master, he had actually managed to cultivate the heaven-defying Law of Energy Purification? That was just too inconceivable!
All of a sudden, the gazes in the hall turned a lot hotter, filled with envy and jealousy. Xia Fei lit a cigarette and quietly returned to his seat, not the slightest bit proud of his achievements.
His nonchalant attitude only made others sigh. It was as if Xia Fei's great achievement of becoming an Energy Master was just a matter of time, a piece of cake.
Mu Fuping looked at Xia Fei with an abnormally hot gaze. She had just stood up a few seconds ago and was about to argue with her father, for her father's words were clearly aimed at Xia Fei, mocking him.
Xia Fei did not need any help from others. With just a few words, he had revealed a portion of his trump card, and Xia Fei had returned Mu Nanchen's mockery back to him.
This made Mu Fuping feel rather awkward. On one hand, Xia Fei's crazy promotion had excited her. An Energy Master was a high-end profession that was highly regarded even in the Nine Great Clans. On the other hand, Mu Fuping could clearly feel her father's anger. How could the great treasurer of the Mu family, Mu Nanchen, stand to be insulted by an unknown Xia Fei? His face was already turning green.
"Well done! I'll piss off that bunch of grandsons! " Phantom said hatefully. All the grievances he had felt earlier had been swept away. Phantom stood next to Xia Fei with his arms crossed. He suddenly realized that being a ghost could be very blissful and interesting. Having been by Xia Fei's side for the past few years, Phantom had seen far too many things that he had never experienced in his life. It was even more colorful than when he was alive.
Mu Nanchen gritted his teeth and asked unwillingly, "Are you really an Energy Master!?"
Xia Fei casually replied, "Becoming an Energy Master was nothing more than a spontaneous act. I tried out the Law of Energy Purification a little, and I didn't think that I would actually succeed. My main occupation is still that of a warrior. Since the Dragon Ascension Conclave requires participants to have the strength of a Law Sovereign, and Xia Fei isn't that talented, I'm willing to try and see if I can break through to Law Sovereign in the remaining time. Patriarch, what do you say?"
Xia Fei's words depressed the Mu family. A large clan like the Mu family would not care about a peak Law Warrior. So what if Mu Qiubo was a Law Emperor? Didn't they chase him away just like that? If he was in a small family like the Yu Family, they would worship him as a deity.
What was truly important was that Xia Fei had cultivated the Law of Energy Purification to level 1!
Furthermore, it was self-study!
Anyone with the slightest bit of common sense would understand just how difficult this was, and there was no doubt that Xia Fei had the talent to control Origin Energy!
If he was able to learn it by himself, his future would be limitless!
In the Law circle, there was not a single warrior who did not want to become an Energy Master. This was because this occupation was far more honorable than a warrior, with more wealth and status!
Even a three-year-old child would not hesitate to ask if he wanted to be a warrior or an Energy Master when he grew up.
He would also choose to be an Energy Master without any hesitation. Even a fool would know that Energy Masters were not to be trifled with. If not for the lack of talent, who would give up the chance to become an Energy Master?
It just so happened that Xia Fei was a very strange person. He had brushed off such an important achievement as if he had no interest in becoming an Energy Master and was merely playing around.
Patriarch Yujiang laughed heartily. "Of course I'm going to give it a try! Tomorrow morning, I'll personally send you to Crow City. All the resources, equipment, and manpower of the clan will be at your disposal! It's not easy for a small family like the Yu Family to produce such a talent. As long as you need it, I won't hesitate even if this old man has to spar with you! "
Only now did Yujiang truly feel that he was able to stand up straight in front of the Mu family, and his voice was much louder.
Xia Fei smiled. "I wouldn't dare to ask an old man like you to spar with me, but I do need someone to help me. His name is Gu Tong, and he used to be my instructor. He's currently working as a guard on Snake Isle."
His eyes inadvertently glanced to the left, where the Energy Master Duba was sitting. Transferring Gu Tong to Snake Isle was his idea.
Duba was slightly stunned. Xia Fei clearly needed Gu Tong's help, but he was actually slapping Duba in the face!
Who did not know that Gu Tong had been transferred to be a guard because he had angered Duba? If he were to be transferred back just because of a word from Xia Fei, it would be no different from giving Duba a tight slap in the face.
Duba looked at Patriarch Yujiang with an ashen face. Xia Fei also smiled at the old patriarch, waiting for his decision.
How could Yujiang not know the twists and turns in this situation? There was a hidden blade hidden in this calmness. If Duba represented the present of the Yu Family, then Xia Fei represented the future. If possible, Yujiang was unwilling to offend either one of them.
However, the situation was already very clear. Xia Fei had taken a stance to go against Duba, and there was absolutely no possibility of reconciliation.
Gu Tong was a level 4 Law Warrior who had not been able to advance for many years. His talent was simply abysmal, and Xia Fei needed Gu Tong to spar with him? No one would believe him even if he told the heavens.
"Alright! We'll do as you say! Tomorrow morning, you'll definitely see Gu Tong outside Crow City, "Yujiang happily said.
Ever since Mu Nanchen had arrived at the Yu Family, Duba had been finding excuses to accompany him, all so that he could build a relationship with the Mu family and climb up the social ladder. Yujiang was using Xia Fei to teach Duba a lesson, reminding him that this was the Yu Family, and that he, Yujiang, was the one in charge here!
Among the people present, there were those who knew about the history between Duba and Xia Fei, and they could not help but chuckle softly. Duba's face alternated between red and white, looking very interesting. In this unseen confrontation, Xia Fei had emerged victorious!
That was when Furball casually crawled out from Xia Fei's chest, ignoring the people in the hall. He climbed onto Xia Fei's shoulder and rubbed his furry body against his face, looking very simple and honest.
Xia Fei knew this fellow all too well. He knew that Furball was begging for food, so he took out a grade 3 Origin Crystal and fed it to him in front of everyone.
This action was not too eye-catching, but Mu Nanchen, who was seated at the head of the table, was stunned when he recognized that Furball was the Holy Beast Shatterstar!
Beside Mu Nanchen was a rather old man. He had a long beard and the air of an immortal, his eyes gleaming with a crafty light.
This man was called Mu Hailing, and he was Mu Nanchen's most important advisor. To be able to take charge of the family's finances at such a young age, Mu Hailing had done plenty of planning for Mu Nanchen, and he was viewed as Mu Nanchen's number one confidant.
Mu Hailing blinked, coming over to Mu Nanchen's ear and whispering, "That's the Holy Beast Shatterstar."
"I know."
"Looks like Xia Fei has already tamed this Holy Beast."
"I know, too. What do you mean?"
Mu Hailing did not answer directly, smiling instead. "Advanced from a level 6 Law Warrior to level 9 in half a month, self-cultivated the Law of Energy Purification, and has a Holy Beast Shatterstar as his pet."
"You want me to let bygones be bygones?"
Mu Hailing still did not answer directly, softly asking, "There aren't many people like that in our Mu family, right?"
Mu Hailing was truly a good strategist. He never gave Mu Nanchen any ideas, instead laying out the conditions for the latter to choose for himself.
Mu Nanchen knitted his brows, inadvertently glancing at his daughter, Mu Fuping. That young mistress was watching Xia Fei feed Furball with a fiery gaze, a very happy smile on her face.
Mu Nanchen had not become the Mu family's chief financial officer by acting on impulse. Even though he was very unwilling, it did not affect his decision making.
"Xia Fei, I wonder what your plans are now that you've cultivated the Law of Energy Purification to the primary level? Have you ever thought of becoming an Energy Master one day? "Mu Nanchen dryly coughed.
Yujiang lightly flicked his finger. Mu Nanchen's words could not be more obvious. He was deliberately trying to rope in Xia Fei, and if the Mu family really had such intentions, they would of course have an advantage over the Yu family given their capital.
Xia Fei replied, "Energy is the foundation of all cultivation. If there's a chance, I'll of course cultivate diligently and strive to improve my Law of Energy Purification."
Mu Nanchen nodded. "Our Mu family has a specialized course for Energy Masters. Originally, only the direct descendants of the family are allowed to attend, but since you've saved Fuping's life, you can be considered to have done the Mu family a favor. If you're willing, I can personally speak to the patriarch and allow you to attend the course.
"The current substitute teacher is a level 6 Energy Master of the Mu family, Mu Ran. His professional knowledge is impeccable, and he's also easygoing. He's also my uncle, so I'm sure he won't have any objections."
Shrewd, accurate, and successful in one strike.
Mu Nanchen had unwittingly revealed his advantage to Xia Fei. With a nod of his head, he could go to the Mu family to receive guidance from a top-notch Energy Master, but there was absolutely no chance for him to stay in the Yu family. Everyone knew that the Yu family only had one Energy Master, Duba. Furthermore, this Duba did not get along with Xia Fei, so Xia Fei would have to rely on himself to explore everything.
Patriarch Yujiang gritted his teeth. This temptation would definitely be fatal to the average person. With the protection of the Nine Great Clans and the personal guidance of a top-notch Energy Master, anyone who was not a fool or a lunatic would not be able to reject it. The Yu family truly did not have the ability to compete with the powerful Withered Mu family in this aspect.
Mu Fuping's eyes lit up. "That's right, big brother Xia Fei. Grandpa Mu Ran is really a good person. If you learn the Law of Energy Purification from him, you'll surely get twice the results with half the effort. Who knows, you might really become an Energy Master in the future."
Mu Nanchen picked up his teacup and took a sip with some satisfaction, looking very confident.
Xia Fei smiled. "Miss Fuping, Elder Mu, right now, I just want to focus on cultivating my martial arts so that I can become a qualified warrior as soon as possible. Let's talk about becoming an Energy Master later."
Mu Nanchen nearly spat out his tea. He furrowed his eyebrows and asked, "Do you know that Energy Masters are known as the number one profession in the circle? No matter where you go, you'll be the center of attention. It's not something a normal profession like warrior can compare to. "
Xia Fei softly replied, "I understand."
