Bronze Again
"Are you willing to be a warrior for the rest of your life?" Mu Nanchen asked somewhat angrily.
Mu Fuping was at a loss. She could not understand why Xia Fei would turn down such a good opportunity. It was just too stupid of him.
Xia Fei smiled, revealing his stubborn side once more.
"Actually, there's nothing wrong with being a warrior. Only when I'm a warrior will I consider becoming an Energy Master," Xia Fei said very calmly. "Besides, I'm currently in the Yu family, so it's not convenient for me to learn from other families."
This was a clear signal, as if he was saying, 'I don't need anyone else telling me what to do.'
Mu Nanchen was also someone who cared about his reputation. He snorted and said no more, bidding farewell to the patriarch of the Yu family and leaving with Mu Fuping.
…
Yuhua accompanied Xia Fei on the way home.
"Actually, you should've accepted Mu Nanchen. That man is very powerful, and the Mu family is one of the top clans in the circle. It might be an opportunity for you," Yuhua said softly.
Xia Fei shook his head. "I don't think so. It would've been fine if they'd sincerely invited me, but for some reason, the Mu family hated me at the start, only to switch to trying to rope me in after I showed my trump card. It's obvious that this was an impromptu decision.
"They really think I'm a fool. No matter what, I still need my reputation. Giving them a slap and then giving them a carrot won't work on me. Besides, I hate being used by others."
Yuhua was slightly taken aback when Xia Fei said that he hated being used by others. His action was not obvious, and he quickly returned to his normal self.
Chuckling, Yuhua said, "I don't think that's all your trump card. You're a man who hides a lot of things. You're extremely domineering when you're arrogant, but you'll disappear when you're low-key. Even I'm afraid of getting pulled into your trap when you're scheming. You're truly full of changes. I've seen my fair share of young people, but I've never seen someone with so many different personalities like you. I don't get it."
Xia Fei put on a helpless look. "There's nothing I can do if you don't believe me. This is really all my trump card, and I'm regretting showing it now. It's all because of my impulsiveness.
"Right, I'm about to make a breakthrough to Law Sovereign in Crow City. Is there anything I need to remember?" Xia Fei suddenly changed the topic.
"Something? You want to ask me about the key to breaking through the bottleneck, right? "Yu Hua said with a smile.
Xia Fei did not shy away and nodded.
Yuhua said, "Even if you didn't tell me, I was going to tell you anyway. Who asked us to hit it off so well?"
Though Yu Hua was a Great Law Emperor, he was a very amiable person. He was not like Patriarch Yu Jiang, who hid himself so deeply, nor was he as domineering as Yu Qiqi. The two of them got along quite well, and both of them were very low-key people.
"To be honest, I'm not very confident that I'll be able to help you break through to the Law Sovereign stage in one go. This is because this stage is very difficult, and the difficulty of breaking through varies according to one's constitution."
"According to my experience, this stage is different from the sixth stage, which needs to be washed away like a tide. You'd better learn to cultivate after the tide recedes."
"After the tides recede?" Xia Fei asked in confusion.
Yuhua explained, "The so-called tide recedes refers to the extreme condition of not having enough energy. When the energy in your body isn't enough to support you, high-intensity cultivation will give you a certain chance of entering a very mysterious state. Even though you're already out of energy, your mental strength will still be able to support you."
Xia Fei was enlightened. "I understand now. This sort of situation often happens when you're fighting to your limits. Your mind will go blank, and you'll have to rely on your fighting instincts to persevere. So this is the key to becoming a Law Sovereign."
Yuhua sighed. "Don't blame me for not warning you. This sort of extreme condition is very dangerous, and the slightest bit of carelessness could leave irreparable damage on your body, even damaging your seventh brain region. You should be well aware of that sort of pain."
Xia Fei shrugged. He of course knew how painful it was to have his seventh brain region destroyed. He had been stuck for three whole years, and there was also the bitterness he had experienced when he first arrived at the Yu family. Xia Fei would never forget it for the rest of his life.
However, there was only half a month until the Dragon Ascension Conclave. If he did not make it in time, who knew when he would get a second chance? Xia Fei had to give it his all!
As he was speaking, a mighty and imposing man suddenly walked past him. He was not tall, but his muscles were solid, as if he were an unshakable metal block. His footsteps clanged as he walked, each step leaving a dent in the ground.
For some reason, this man and Yuhua were glaring at each other, neither of them greeting each other even as they brushed past each other.
"Who's that?" Xia Fei asked.
Yuhua chuckled. "He's the famous Yu Jin. Aside from the patriarch, he's the strongest warrior in the Yu family, as well as the chief steward of the clan. The patriarch hasn't been too involved in the clan's affairs in recent years, so Yu Jin has been taking care of everything."
Xia Fei asked, "I don't think he's as strong as you are. Why do you say that he's the second-highest general in the clan? "
Yuhua pointed to himself. "His cultivation isn't as high as mine, only a peak Law Sovereign, but don't forget that I'm no longer a member of the clan. Though I'm still helping the patriarch with some matters, that's just a personal relationship. I have no part in anything else."
"Is there a grudge between the two of you?"
"It's nothing. It's all in the past."
Yuhua spoke casually, but Xia Fei did not think so. Just now, the two of them had looked like they wanted to kill each other, their fighting spirit exploding! Xia Fei had seen all of this.
"I'm afraid that Yuhua's abandonment of martial arts and business has something to do with this Yu Jin. Yu Jin doesn't look like a good person. His triangular eyes are filled with killing intent, and he doesn't even have a smile on his face. It's as if the entire world owes him money," Phantom nagged in Xia Fei's ear.
Xia Fei did not comment. Judging based on first impressions was often inaccurate, and it was very easy for him to suffer a huge loss. Xia Fei had always kept this point in mind.
"Alright. You're home, and I have other things to do. Perhaps we'll meet again before we set off for the Dragon Ascension Conclave," Yuhua said.
Xia Fei chuckled. "You seem to be certain that I'll be able to raise my cultivation to Law Sovereign in fifteen days?"
Yuhua replied, "I don't know about others, but it's very possible for you. I haven't known you for long, but you're always able to surprise me."
With that, Yuhua disappeared to the left side of the road. It was unknown whether he had used a spatial compass or an instantaneous movement technique. His cultivation was so high that he could freely travel through space, which made Xia Fei quite envious.
Lil Pea was already anxiously waiting at home. The moment he saw the adorable Xia Fei, he pouted and said, "From now on, no matter where master goes, I'll follow you. Let Lil Pea live in your spatial ring."
Xia Fei was speechless, but he could only agree.
…
His luck was pretty good today. He managed to get a ticket to the Dragon Ascension Conclave, and he even managed to get a video call from Avril.
On the screen, Avril was furiously scribbling away. She was only wearing pajamas, a pencil stuck in her hair as a hairpin. Her two bright eyes were somewhat dim, and she seemed very tired.
"How did you end up like this?" Xia Fei asked, somewhat distressed.
"I'm currently drafting a new development plan for Starlink Corporation. Father has me in charge of the logistics department and the research center, so I have to work hard." Avril smiled.
Perhaps feeling that her current appearance was unbearable, Avril let down her blonde hair as she spoke, secretly applying a little face lotion on her face.
"Work is work, but you don't have to work so hard, do you? You have to remember that no matter what, I'll take care of you for the rest of my life. "
Xia Fei's words were sincere, and Avril's cheeks were slightly flushed. Being promised by a man that he would take care of them for the rest of their lives would always make a lady feel very happy, and Avril was no different.
"I won't always miss you if I'm busy."
Avril's voice was very soft, and Xia Fei was startled, a warm feeling spreading through his heart.
Living apart was not a good time, and it was the same for both Xia Fei and Avril. Avril had purposely kept herself busy, so it turned out that she did not want to miss him for a long time.
After a moment of silence, Xia Fei very seriously said, "I've already spoken to Charlie. One of my subordinates is very knowledgeable about genetics, so he'll be able to formulate a gene optimization fluid as soon as possible. I hope you can take it."
Avril firmly nodded, agreeing.
"Aren't you going to ask me why I want you to open your seventh brain region?" Xia Fei asked.
"There's no need. I believe that you have your own reasons," Avril said with a smile.
Xia Fei felt a lump in his throat. This kind of unconditional trust and support was very touching. Whether or not a relationship was deep, those sweet words were often deceiving, and it was easier to see through these small things.
After ending the call with Avril, Xia Fei contacted Charlie again.
"I'll repeat myself. This gene optimization fluid must be tested on human subjects to ensure that it's 100% safe. I don't care even if a million people die, but I want to ensure that Avril is 200% safe," Xia Fei said with extreme seriousness.
Human experimentation was, of course, forbidden by the Alliance, and it was because of this that Harris was wanted.
Charlie was slightly taken aback. "I remember you saying that as long as your people can live, you don't care even if the entire world dies. I've never forgotten that. Don't worry; I'll do as you say."
Lionheart Emperor Oro, who was in the spatial ring, pondered over Xia Fei's words and muttered, "As long as your people can live, you don't care even if the entire world dies? This Xia Fei sure is a ruthless character. "
After giving Charlie a few more instructions, Xia Fei chatted with Sentinel Goddess Sophie for a bit. The robot army's construction of Titan had not stopped, and it was progressing smoothly. However, due to the massive size of this super warship, it required a long time to complete.
…
Early in the morning, Xia Fei arrived at the pier where Patriarch Yujiang was fishing, and the first thing he saw was Gu Tong.
"Xia Fei!"
"Instructor Gu."
The two warmly greeted each other. Gu Tong was much thinner than before, and his left leg was a little sloppy when he walked, as if he had been injured.
"Your leg …"
"It's fine. It's just a small injury." Gu Tong hurriedly covered up his injury.
There was no doubt that no matter where Snake Isle was, it would not be a peaceful place. Otherwise, Gu Tong would not have ended up like this in a mere two months.
Frowning, Xia Fei's hatred for Duba intensified. Transferring Gu Tong, who did not have a high cultivation, to Snake Isle? If he had not called him back in time, he would probably be seeing Gu Tong's corpse again. How vicious!
Gu Tong was of course very grateful to Xia Fei for pulling him back from the clutches of death, and he kept on thanking him. Now that Xia Fei was a peak Law Warrior, his status could not be compared to before.
