End and Spatial Compass
Chapter 602: End and Spatial Compass
Xia Fei and the Shepherdian moved almost at the same time, heading straight for that golden blob in the sky.
* Whoosh ~ *
Using his advantage in speed, Xia Fei was the first to reach the side of the giant vine. Stepping on the branch, he used the run-up from earlier to charge straight up, his body practically horizontal.
The speed ability was truly the hardest to deal with out of all the abilities, even in the Law Realm. The Shepherdian furrowed his brows as he let out a desperate howl.
* Kaboom! *
Six giant arms burst out from the soil. The Shepherdian was a Law of Matter Adept, so he did not need to do anything. He could completely change the structure of matter, using everything around him to attack.
At this moment, something unimaginable happened!
Perhaps Xia Fei had used too much force when he stepped on the vine, but that shiny golden object on top of the vine suddenly bounced off, falling right on top of the Shepherdian's head.
Xia Fei's eyes widened, regretting that he had used too much force, causing the treasure to fall.
"Crafty Approach!" Xia Fei did a beautiful turn in midair, relying on the powerful stomping motion of his legs to twist his entire body as he charged right at the falling golden treasure.
The Shepherdian was extremely nervous. Xia Fei's speed was too fast, and his incredible agility was even more shocking. This had completely surpassed the techniques that Xia Fei had learned from the Assassin Sect, forming a school of its own. This was Xia Fei's Crafty Approach. It was a technique that no one could imitate!
* Whoosh ~ *
Even the Shepherdian did not expect that Xia Fei's palm would actually fail to catch the treasure.
Xia Fei had missed it by less than ten centimeters.
This was definitely a heavy blow to him.
Xia Fei, the speed ability user with Crafty Approach, had actually missed it?
The Shepherdian was extremely excited. The ground beneath his feet suddenly rose. This was the power of the Law of Matter, raising the ground so that he could catch the treasure even faster.
"No matter what this thing is, it will ultimately belong to me." The Shepherdian was excited. The treasure high above had attracted all of his attention. The excitement of snatching a treasure from the hands of a speed ability user was indescribable.
However, he failed to notice that the corner of Xia Fei's mouth was curled up, a sinister and strange smile.
Just as the Shepherdian was rejoicing, a figure suddenly appeared behind him, a vicious glint in its eyes.
It was another Xia Fei. One was in the air, while the other was underground.
Whoosh ~
On the ground, Xia Fei was panting heavily. They had come with ill intentions!
Pa pa!
Two agile arms wrapped around the Shepherdian, and at the same time, a halo of light rose up, separating him from his surroundings!
The Shepherd King turned pale with fright. He did not understand why he was suddenly trapped. He wanted to use the Law of Matter, but he found that he had separated from the environment!
This was a pure energy barrier. The Shepherdian could control everything around him, but he could not control this surging energy!
Killing intent filled the air!
All struggles were futile. When a warrior was under the control of the Holy Beast Shatterstar, any attempt to break free was futile!
That was right. The one lying on the ground was Furball! Xia Fei's clone!
The giant tree vine in between the Shepherdian and Xia Fei blocked part of the Shepherdian's line of sight, and the glowing golden treasure high up in the sky attracted most of the Shepherdian's attention.
When Xia Fei got close to the tree vine, Furball turned into a clone, which was then wrapped up by Peacock Blue, forming an indistinguishable whole with the tree vine. As the Shepherdian's attention shifted, Peacock Blue flung Furball over to the Shepherdian's side!
Everything that happened next was very clear. Xia Fei had purposely created the illusion that he had failed to catch the treasure, and Furball had used this opportunity to use energy to trap the Shepherdian. Holding the Blood Crystal in his hand, Xia Fei slashed down from the sky!
The Shepherdian's eyes were wide open. He never thought that his Law of Matter would be controlled by energy! Of course, he did not have the chance to think or regret it! This was because the Crimson Massacre Blade was already on top of his head!
* Slash! *
The blade cut through the Shepherdian's head, cleaving his upper body in two, only stopping when it reached his abdomen!
Furball howled loudly, excited at the success of this attack!
The corpse turned into a mummy in the blink of an eye. The Shepherdian, who was already like a living dead, no longer had any signs of life. He had once wanted to suck Xia Fei dry, but he ended up being sucked dry and turned into a mummy!
* Pa! *
Xia Fei extended his right hand and firmly caught that golden box that was falling from the sky. He then spat on the Shepherdian's withered corpse!
"Pah! F * ck your Law of Matter! "
Furball let go of the corpse and dusted off his hands, running over to Xia Fei's side with a dubious look in his eyes.
All of this was very strange, for Furball now looked exactly like Xia Fei.
Xia Fei lightly pushed the corpse with his finger, and the Shepherdian fell to the ground, turning into dust!
Letting out a long sigh, Xia Fei muttered to himself, "This Law of Matter Exchanger sure is hard to deal with. If not for Furball's energy locking it down, this battle would've been very difficult."
Lionheart Emperor Oro did not mind. "You've only been in the Law Realm for a short time. You'll learn after a while that there are actually plenty of messy laws in the Law Realm. A mere Law of Matter Exchanger is nothing. If it were me, I would've already killed that Shepherdian a hundred times over.
"But then again, you've done very well this time, using your limited resources to turn the situation around. I was quite worried for you at first," Xia Fei said.
"The Law of Matter Exchanger can't escape the energy encirclement. Being able to beat Furball today is the greatest achievement."
Furball, who had already reverted to his original form, jumped onto Xia Fei's shoulder, looking at Xia Fei's ring as he asked for credit. Xia Fei chuckled and tossed an Origin Crystal to Furball, letting him chew on it.
"Your expression when you failed to catch that golden box just now was very charming. I've realized that you're very talented at acting." Oro chuckled.
Xia Fei did not answer. Sitting on the ground, he lit a cigarette and opened the golden box.
"A spatial compass! So that's a compass! With it, I'll be able to travel freely! "Xia Fei exclaimed.
Ever since he learned that there was something like a compass in the Law Realm, Xia Fei had been thinking about buying one. Unfortunately, a compass that could allow him to travel between the Law Realm and the Alliance was very expensive. Even the cheapest one cost a thousand grade 4 Origin Crystals, and he had yet to save up enough money.
Now, all of this was easily solved. Xia Fei did not know what grade this compass was, but it could not be anything bad from its appearance.
…
* Whoosh whoosh whoosh! *
Several figures landed one after another. They were none other than Zanian, Busey, and Busey's three children.
All they saw was Xia Fei sitting cross-legged as if nothing had happened, his back leaning against the mountain wall.
Zanian was just about to call out Xia Fei's name when Busey stopped him.
"He's in the midst of making a breakthrough. Let's talk later."
It took some time to clear out those detestable Shepherdians from the testing grounds, and all the surviving candidates had been sent back to the Dragon Ascension Martial Hall. Only Xia Fei was left here, and because he was busy advancing, he did not notice Busey's signal to gather.
"He advanced?! The other candidates are all running for their lives, but not only did this person kill a Shepherdian, he even advanced?! " Buma expressed his surprise. This black lady was quite good-looking, with two sweet dimples on her cheeks whenever she spoke, unlike her father, Busey, who was made of stone and had no expression on his face.
"His name is Xia Fei. I was the one who discovered him. Though he's only a level 2 Law Sovereign, his combat strength isn't inferior to any of the other candidates. Most importantly, he's clear-headed, very methodical when it comes to doing things, and he has the drive of a warrior." Zanian laughed. This was the first time he was the eagle eye of a martial hall, so Zanian was very confident in his judgment.
Buma was slightly taken aback. After examining the traces of battle, he said, "Strange. The Shepherdian has already been reduced to dust. I have no idea what method he used, but this Reaching Cloud Vine should be father's secret test, and he's also unraveled it."
Busey nodded, not saying a word.
Zanian took out his terminal and did some calculations before exclaiming in delight, "Uncle Busey, look! Xia Fei obtained thirteen of the candidates' number plates, twelve from killing the Shepherdian, and fifty from unraveling your secret test. That's a total of seventy-five, thirty points higher than the person in second place. I'm afraid you'll have to give him your Edgeless War Armor."
Busey was still as stone as ever, not saying anything. Buma took the terminal in disbelief and did some calculations before softly saying, "The person in first place is only a level 2 Law Sovereign. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have dared to believe it. After all, only 173 candidates survived the assessment, and the vast majority of them died at the hands of their companions or Shepherdians."
Zanian waved his hand. "He's only level 2 now, but when Xia Fei wakes up, he'll be level 3."
After some time, Xia Fei finally opened his eyes. He was, of course, aware that there were people around him, but he was not about to stop and chat with Busey and the others when he was at the juncture of advancing.
After absorbing a Shepherdian, that colorful energy ball in Xia Fei's brain region shattered once more, and the boiling energy helped Xia Fei advance in one fell swoop!
This method of accumulating energy and then releasing it all at once was quietly changing. The higher the level, the more energy was needed to advance. Compared to the first time, this advancement was not easy, and defeating that Shepherdian had taken a lot of Xia Fei's energy.
"Congratulations on becoming a level 3 Law Sovereign! To be able to advance in the middle of a battle, you're quite something. Why don't you tell me how you killed that Shepherdian? "Zanian laughed.
Buma was also curious. "That's right. How did the Shepherdian's corpse shatter? Just what sort of martial arts technique or law did you use? "
"First of all, I did advance, but it wasn't level 3 Law Sovereign but level 4," Xia Fei casually said.
Everyone was shocked, and even Busey could not help but pout.
"Advancing two levels in five days of battle! Xia Fei, you've truly broadened my horizons. "Zanian unintentionally glanced at Busey as he spoke, as if conveying some sort of message.
That was when Furball let out a laugh and stood up from Xia Fei's shoulder. Zanian said, "I almost forgot. Your Holy Beast Shatterstar also advanced. Looks like the biggest winner of this Dragon Ascension Conclave's preliminary assessment is none other than you."
"Shatterstar?!"
"Holy Beast Shatterstar!"
Buma and the others exclaimed in surprise. The secrets Xia Fei was hiding made them all sigh.
"Let's go. Let's head back first. The preliminary assessment is over, and the second round will be in a month's time. By then, the elites from the Nine Great Clans and the other clans will join the battle, and it'll be even more difficult than it is now."
Perhaps afraid that Xia Fei would become arrogant, Busey reminded him of the harshness of the second round of assessment. Right now, all he wanted was to end it as soon as possible so that he could return to the headquarters and report to Hall Master Kuzan, so he was not at ease.
"Zanian, you'll be in charge of handing the prize to Xia Fei later. Other than that, bring him to the Law Enforcement Committee, and you can return to the Yu family after that," Busey instructed.
Zanian and Xia Fei nodded.
"Don't forget to train hard when you get back to the Yu family. The assessment with the Nine Great Clans participating has never been easy."
