But the problem was that two of the three referees were from the other side. Zhuo Donglai, in particular, had been manipulating the order of the matches. Whether or not Du Feng could fight with Shangguan Yun, as well as which battle he would fight with, was basically under his control. Unless all the other competitors left, there was no guarantee that Du Feng would be able to fight Shangguan Yun.
Of course, there was another way. Du Feng could keep leveling up, and so could Shangguan Yun. When it came time to fight for the championship, the two of them would have to meet.
"I don't think we'll meet this month."
Du Feng knew that the first half of the month was for the first to fifth levels of the Ultimate King Cultivation level to compete. The second half was for the sixth to ninth levels of the Cultivation level. In the first half, there were only three rounds. Two rounds had already passed, and they hadn't met yet. Next round, Shangguan Yun would definitely avoid him.
"Yes, that makes sense."
Grandpa Lan thought so, too. Shangguan Yun was only at the first level of the Ultimate King Cultivation level. Although she was talented, her Cultivation level was still low. According to Zhuo Donglai's personality, he would have arranged for her to practice with a few opponents that were neither too soft nor too hard. When she was ready, he would have arranged for Shangguan Yun to fight a strong opponent.
This meant that the Cloud List Tournament was a competition to select the best in the world, but it was actually Shangguan Yun's personal training plan. The Zhuo Family didn't take out six Emperor Breakthrough Pills as a prize for nothing.
"Old Lan, I have a question. Who made the Emperor Breaking Pills? I've never heard Zhuo Donglai know alchemy."
Du Feng knew it was his father, King Alchemy, but he was just asking. If he revealed the source of the pills, it would be too easy to expose himself.
"I'm not sure. The Zhuo family has a powerful alchemist, but no one has ever seen him."
Grandpa Lan knew there was an alchemist in the Zhuo family, but the alchemist never left the house. Zhuo Dong Lai never allowed anyone to see him, either. Forget about Grandpa Lan, even the servants of the Zhuo Mansion had never seen this legendary Alchemist with their own eyes.
Du Feng was 100% sure that the defense was tight enough. Alchemy King was locked up by Zhuo Dong Lai, but his life was not in danger. The person who betrayed the king to Zhuo Dong Lai was most likely Shangguan Yun. Perhaps Zhuo Dong Lai had arranged for Shanghai Yun to go to King Island in the first place. Even his pledge of undying love with Shangguan Yun was arranged from the very beginning.
"Brother Du, what's wrong?"
Fu Xi noticed that Du Feng's complexion was not right. He thought that Du Feng had consumed too much energy in the arena, so he asked with concern.
"I'm fine."
Du Feng shook his head. He didn't want to think about something so messy. He needed to focus on practicing and get a good ranking. This month's Cultivation wasn't very high. Next month, when all the Ultimate King Realm fighters were mixed together, he would meet a ninth-level Ultimate King Realm opponent. When that happened, the fights wouldn't be so easy.
Ninth-level Ultimate King Realm Cultivation wasn't scary. What was scary was the peak of the Ultimate King Realm. Some fighters had been stuck at the peak of the Ultimate King Realm for hundreds of years. They had accumulated a lot of fighting experience, and their foundations were very solid. They were said to be Ultimate King Realm fighters, but their actual fighting power was only second to those who had completed the Ultimate King Realm.
Let's not talk about the others. Poison King would definitely send his best helpers to deal with Du Feng. Zhuo Dong Lai also had a few people at the peak of the Ultimate King Realm Cultivation. These people had two goals. One was to get rid of people like Du Feng, who were a threat to Shangguan Yun. The other was to train with Shanghai Yun so that she could improve and become the champion of the Cloud List.
Du Feng knew that according to Zhuo Dong Lai's plan, the first, second, and third place of the Cloud List would be theirs. The first, second, and third place of the Cloud List would be theirs. So, none of the six Emperor Breaking Pills would be given out. On the other hand, Zhuo Dong Lai could use the competition to suppress his opponents and learn more about the new fighters.
"Tsk tsk tsk … So that's what happened."
After hearing Du Feng's analysis, Fu Xi finally understood. He thought Zhuo Dong Lai was generous enough to give out six Emperor Breaking Pills as a reward. Now, after Brother Du's analysis, it seemed that was indeed the case. Zhuo Dong Lai didn't want to give away a single Emperor Breaking Pill.
"If he wants to take advantage of us, we will make him cough up blood."
Zhuo Donglai's mind, blue old man's also very clear. Not only did Grandpa Lan know, but so did the higher-ups of Kun Shan. Everyone knew that Zhuo Dong Lai had already made arrangements. But so what? Could it be that he didn't dare to participate because of this?
Success comes from fine details, and riches come from danger. No one knew what the result would be until the final decision was made. Maybe Shanghai Yun wouldn't be the champion, or maybe the top three weren't on Zhuo Dong Lai's side. For example, Du Feng was an anomaly. In the second half of the month, there would be many other strange people.
Actually, Old Man Lan had also placed a person on the leaderboard to participate in the competition, and he was also an expert at the peak of the ninth level of the Ultimate Emperor Realm. His name was Zheng Kezhao, and he was a secret student of Grandpa Lan. He wasn't in the Blue Manor, but he could receive guidance and support from Grandpa Lan.
It wasn't just Grandpa Lan who had made arrangements. Even Emperor Nan, who didn't care much about the Weiyang Continent, had sent someone to participate in the Cloud List. The person he sent was also a ninth-level Ultimate King Realm fighter. He wasn't in the same group as Du Feng, so the competition hadn't started yet.
"Tsk tsk tsk … It looks like the second half of the month will be the real fight between tigers and dragons."
After Fu Xi heard this, he felt that he was still too young. In the second half of the month, even Blue Jade Child's seventh-level Ultimate King Realm Cultivation wouldn't give him an advantage. This was because many fighters were stuck at the ninth-level Ultimate King Realm Cultivation and came to participate. They were all very experienced. It was too scary.
"Brother Du, the next month's competition depends on you."
After the second half of the month's competition, the next month would be the battle royale. At that time, first-level Ultimate King Realm fighters could meet ninth-level Ultimate King Realm opponents. Fu Xi was currently at the first level of the Ultimate Emperor Realm, while Du Feng was at the second level of the Ultimate Emperor Realm. If the two of them were to encounter an opponent at the peak of the ninth level of the Ultimate Emperor Realm, they would be in big trouble.
"Let's work hard together. Don't scare yourselves."
