Chapter 603: The Snowdrift Clan
Dragon Ascension Conclave, the initial assessment of the human race had concluded. The top one hundred candidates obtained the chance to participate in the second round and compete against the elites of the Nine Great Clans.
After that, they would have to go through two more rounds with the elites of the other races, and only then would they be able to truly enter the Dragon Ascension Martial Hall, the holy land in the hearts of the warriors of the Law Realm!
No one had ever truly understood the requirements of the Dragon Ascension Martial Hall, and this time, it was even more confusing, for the first place of the initial assessment was actually Xia Fei! A puny level 4 Law Sovereign!
When the final results were posted, the entire circle was in an uproar. This was the first time in many years that a Law Sovereign candidate had taken first place. It must be understood that the quality of this assessment was much higher than the previous ones, and there were no less than fifty Law Emperors!
It was hard to imagine how Xia Fei, a mere Law Sovereign, had managed to stand out in a tournament filled with experts!
Of course, the Dragon Ascension Martial Hall would not publicize the details of the assessment, and no one dared to step forward and question the martial hall's confidentiality policy. Everyone knew that the shadow of the God Race was behind Dragon Ascension, and challenging it was tantamount to challenging the authority of the two peak races in the Law Realm.
However, this did not lessen the discussions in private. Conspiracy theorists made Xia Fei sound like a god, saying that Xia Fei had unimaginable connections in the God Race. There were even those who believed that Xia Fei's rank was fabricated and that he was a spy sent by the God Race.
An assessment that attracted the attention of the entire world was enough to push a warrior to the teeth of the storm. Little did Xia Fei know that it was not just the humans; even the other sapient races in the Law Realm knew of his name. There was nothing that could be done about it. This was the Dragon Ascension Conclave, and it was very easy for anyone to make a name for themselves, provided that they performed sufficiently. Killing a quasi-Divine Beast and taking first place, no matter how much a warrior who did such a thing wanted to keep a low profile, the heavens would not allow it.
In the starry skies of Eternal Night, a massive and strange emerald warship floated. Though they had yet to meet, Autumn Cicada and Xiao Yu were so excited that they could not even sleep. They had long known that a candidate called Xia Fei would be participating in the Dragon Ascension Conclave's initial assessment. Today, after the assessment, Xia Fei's name had spread throughout the Law Realm, and even his background had been dug out. Autumn Cicada and Xiao Yu were finally sure that Xia Fei was the person that they had been thinking about day and night.
Xiaoyu's attachment to Xia Fei was understandable. They had gone through a heart-wrenching experience together, but Autumn Cicada, who had always been otherworldly, also felt her heart throbbing, which was something that no one could understand.
"Don't be in such a hurry. Our Snowdrift Clan will also be participating in the semi-finals. You'll be able to see Xia Fei then," Autumn Cicada softly said.
Xiao Yu lay at Autumn Cicada's side, using Autumn Cicada's white dress to wipe away her tears. Her rosy cheeks were already blooming with tears, making her appear rather pitiful.
Girls were always very strange. Xiao Ruoyu was excited in her heart, but she showed tears on her face. She would cry when she was unhappy, but she would also cry when she was happy.
Xiao Yu nodded. Yes, I'll be able to see Big Brother Xia Fei in a month. Xiao Yu must pull myself together and let Big Brother Xia Fei know that Xiao Yu has actually been very strong all these years!
Autumn Cicada's lips moved as she hesitantly asked, "Will your Big Brother Xia Fei blame us for taking you away from the Alliance back then?"
Xiao Yu's face paled as she lowered her head. "Given Big Brother Xia Fei's personality, he'll definitely …"
"Oh." Autumn Cicada softly said, "I still want to ask him some questions about feelings. It won't be good if there's a conflict."
Xiao Yu's face paled even more, her head almost touching her chest. "Big Brother Xia Fei, actually … actually, he's not very reasonable at times …"
"Not reasonable?" Autumn Cicada's forehead wrinkled. She was like a fairy, and even when she was frowning in thought, she still exuded an irresistible charm.
"I'll explain to Big Brother Xia Fei that you're a good person! Without you, Xiao Yu really doesn't know how to survive in the Snowdrift Clan, "Xiao Yu said as she clenched her fists.
…
Xiao Yu and Autumn Cicada, these two innocent girls, always had endless things to talk about. The topic of conversation was none other than Xia Fei and their meeting in a month's time. The two of them nagged about Xia Fei's old scores, discussing them with great interest.
The two of them had discussed Xia Fei's rather legendary experiences countless times, but they never got tired of it. Who asked them to stay in the harsh Snowdrift Clan, a clan made up entirely of women?
Their daily lives were extremely monotonous, so Xia Fei became an indispensable spice. Unknowingly, Xia Fei had left a deep impression in the hearts of these two ignorant girls.
"Achoo! Achoo! Achoo! "
In the White Horse Constellation, Xia Fei sneezed three times.
Zanian patted Xia Fei on the shoulder and smiled. "Who's thinking of you? Girlfriend? "
Xia Fei shrugged, expressing his helplessness. He wondered if it was Avril who was talking about him in the Alliance.
Never in his wildest dreams would he have imagined that Xiao Yu was actually not that far away from him. She was in the Snowdrift Clan of the Law Realm's Nine Great Clans, and they would soon meet again.
Outside the Dragon Ascension Martial Hall, there was a huge crowd. Xia Fei and Zanian strode through the crowd, and the people hurriedly made way for them, whispering to each other.
"Xia Fei's with the youngest son of the Feng family? What's their relationship? "
"I already said that Xia Fei's background isn't simple. Look, the two of them seem to have a good relationship."
"Xia Fei's in the Yu family, so does that mean that the Yu family has a good relationship with Dragon Ascension's Feng family?"
"That can't be right. They're both in the Yu family, so why did Xia Fei win while Yu Xiaobei suffered a crushing defeat? You should know that Yu Xiaobei is the true descendant of the family, while Xia Fei is just an outsider."
"Perhaps the Feng family only has a good relationship with Xia Fei and has nothing to do with the Yu family?"
There were all sorts of guesses, but there was no doubt that Xia Fei's reputation had skyrocketed after this event, and he had become even more mysterious.
Sweeping his eyes across the crowd, Xia Fei did not see Ludi. That fellow was probably in a bad mood after being eliminated, so he had gone drinking with women. The life of a playboy was not as dull as Xia Fei's.
Xia Fei inadvertently noticed a livid face. It was none other than the insufferably arrogant Yu Xiaobei. The fine combat suit he was wearing was already in tatters, and his face was haggard. He had most likely sustained some injuries while escaping from the Shepherdians.
Xia Fei nodded at Yu Xiaobei. What was supposed to be a normal greeting sounded like mockery to Yu Xiaobei. He ignored Xia Fei and turned to leave with a livid face.
"What a prideful fellow," Xia Fei muttered to himself.
"Who are you talking about?" Zanian turned around and asked.
Xia Fei replied, "Nothing much. I just ran into an acquaintance. Speaking of which, I really have to thank you this time."
"Thank me for what?"
"Didn't you purposely come out of the martial hall with me?" Xia Fei asked.
Zanian chuckled. "No need to thank me. It's all Uncle Busey's arrangement. Don't be fooled by his unchanging stone-like face; he's actually very good to the youths of the human race. He's the only human among the Four Heavenly Kings of Dragon Ascension, so he's naturally biased toward his own people. Though my father is the dojo master, it's not convenient for him to do certain things. You'll understand once you enter the martial hall.
Looking for Uncle Busey is the right choice. He's a very warm-hearted man. "Xia Fei nodded. The Law Realm did not only consist of humans, and Busey was the highest-ranking human being aside from the dojo master, so it was normal for him to take care of his people.
"This circle is very dangerous. You don't have much of a foundation when you first entered the Law Realm, and now that you've gotten first place in the preliminaries and obtained Uncle Busey's Edgeless war armor, who knows how many people are plotting against you in the dark. Me going out with you in such an ostentatious manner will at least dispel those with ill intentions. The Fengs aren't one of the Nine Great Clans, but they're not to be trifled with. Those who are reasonable won't dare to have any ideas, but of course, you can't be careless.
"As the old saying goes, fame is a thing of the past, and it'll be hard for you not to be famous now. This is all the help the martial hall can give you. You'll have to deal with the rest yourself," Zanian said.
Xia Fei nodded. Busey was a big and burly man, but he was quite meticulous. He had even thought of the aftermath of the assessment in advance, and Xia Fei could not help but admire him.
"Where are we going now?" Xia Fei asked.
"Head to the Law Enforcement Board and register your compass. That way, you'll be able to use it to travel anywhere you want, no longer restricted by the spatial gate," Zanian said.
"I still need to register it?"
Zanian rolled his eyes at Xia Fei. "Of course you need to register it. Otherwise, how will the Law Enforcement Board monitor your movements? All spatial compasses and spatial gates need to be registered. Of course, there are also illegal goods on the market, which are compasses and spatial gates that can't be tracked, but those things aren't cheap. With your current net worth, you probably won't be able to get your hands on a black compass. Besides, you might not even be able to find a channel to buy illegal goods. "
"If I become a Law Emperor in the future and master the technique of spatial travel, will I be able to stop using a compass?" Xia Fei asked.
Zanian shook his head. "That'll be very difficult. Traveling distance is a very big problem. Don't be fooled by how those experts come and go without a trace, but they might not necessarily be high-level Law Practitioners who have grasped the Law of Spatial Travel. Perhaps it's just that their use of compasses is smoother and untraceable."
"I see that you're very interested in spatial compasses. Are you a little homesick?" Zanian asked with a smile.
Xia Fei nodded without any hesitation. "That's indeed the case. I've always wanted to go back and see a friend."
"Friend? Girlfriend?" Zanian smirked, but Xia Fei did not deny it. He had never felt that being together with Avrils was anything to be ashamed of. In fact, he was even a little proud of it. After all, the two of them truly liked each other.
Coughing twice, Zanian said, "There are some things that I shouldn't tell you. Returning to the Alliance in the Law Realm for no reason isn't allowed. Law Warriors can't affect the lives of ordinary people, and that's the original intention of our ancestors when they established this part of the universe. Of course, there's an exception if you can get on good terms with the Law Enforcement Committee. As long as you don't cause too much of a ruckus, those old fogeys will just turn a blind eye."
Xia Fei was puzzled. "Does that mean that the Law Enforcement Committee is very important?"
Zanian answered, "Of course it's important. Don't think that there's no law in this circle, and murder isn't a crime, but there are still some things that are strictly restricted. For example, having an illicit relationship with the Demon Race is a serious crime, and you'll be wanted. The same goes for selling hormones. You'll slowly understand that the Law Realm is a very simple place. As long as you don't break any taboos, the Law Enforcement Committee won't interfere too much with your freedom."
Xia Fei broke out in a cold sweat. He had a Demon Race member in his spatial ring, and it was a Great Demon at that! To be able to stroll onto the streets of the White Horse Constellation like that, he sure had guts.
