Lin Xiyue looked at Ye Futian with her beautiful eyes. Looking at him up close, compared to the first time she met him on the ship in the East Sea, Ye Futian had grown up a lot. He had become more handsome and outstanding. He was no longer the youth he once was.
"Yes, I'm cultivating at Donghai Academy. Are you angry?" Lin Xiyue smiled.
"Why would I be angry?" Ye Futian shook his head. He wasn't that narrow-minded. He'd remember the people from the School of the Emperor Star but this had nothing to do with Donghai Academy, let alone the regular students.
"You still haven't told me why you're here. Is something the matter?" Ye Futian asked.
"Can't I meet a friend for no reason?" Lin Xiyue smiled warmly. Ye Futian looked at her and nodded. "Of course."
"It's nothing much. I saw you at the Tingfeng Banquet and wanted to come see you. I was worried about what happened in Donghai City. I didn't think you'd already established yourself in the Cangye Kingdom and received the emperor's appreciation. It seems like I worried for nothing," Lin Xiyue said with a smile. She was graceful and natural.
"Thanks." Ye Futian smiled. "Did you hear anything about the headmaster of the Finance Star School, Yi Xiang?"
Lin Xiyue smiled and said, "Don't worry, Senior Yi Xiang should be fine. I asked my father about it. That day, he helped you stop the strong cultivators who were pursuing you and was injured, but he managed to escape safely. Furthermore, he wasn't Minister Hua's main target. After that, there was no news of him.
Ye Futian relaxed. He knew the old fox wouldn't get hurt so easily.
"Okay, I came to say hi to you. I'm going back." Lin Xiyue smiled. Ye Futian nodded. "Be careful."
"Okay." Lin Xiyue nodded lightly and walked away. Ye Futian looked at her back and walked towards the pavilion.
Yu Sheng walked beside him and whispered, "How many people are you going to hurt?"
"What can I do if I'm handsome?" Ye Futian smiled at Yu Sheng. His expression was a bit mean as if to say, "Do you see the difference?"
Yu Sheng rolled his eyes and walked away. He didn't want to give Ye Futian a chance to show off.
"…"
Ye Futian blinked and stared at Yu Sheng's silhouette in front of him, dumbfounded.
Shouldn't he be the one leaving happily?
"He's become bad." After returning to the courtyard, he did not rest. Instead, he practiced the guqin and increased his Spiritual Energy. Ever since he started cultivating, his desire to reach higher levels had grown stronger with the experiences he had in life and the changes in his state of mind.
In the past, when he was in Qingzhou City, his foster father's expectations for him and the path to becoming an emperor were more like a fantasy. But now, he was truly pursuing it.
Time passed slowly. Deep into the night, Ye Futian was still playing. His music seemed to contain many emotions. Now that he had returned to his homeland, the Nandou Nation, his identity had changed. He had come with Emperor Ye to attend the ceremony. Everything was like a dream.
As the sound of the guqin rang out in the silent space, a violent surge of Spiritual Qi seemed to have appeared in the surroundings, gathering towards Ye Futian's body in a frenzy. However, he did not seem to feel it and continued to play. The sound of the guqin gradually turned from low to high, revealing an indomitable will. The surrounding Spiritual Qi became even more violent, dancing along with the sound of the guqin.
This situation seemed to last for a long time. When the last note fell, it was like a sudden clap of thunder. The surrounding spiritual energy crazily rushed into his body.
Ye Futian opened his eyes and they shone brightly. Then, he smiled.
He had broken through to the Eight-starred Glory Plane as a sorcerer.
After the breakthrough, he still did not rest. Instead, he continued to cultivate martial arts.
The strength of his Spiritual Energy could increase the strength of one's will. It was also helpful for cultivating martial arts.
The wind whistled as Ye Futian activated the Imperial Tactics. The blood in his body seemed to roar and boil. He seemed to have the emperor's will. After the breakthrough in his Spiritual Energy, his martial arts cultivation seemed to be smoother. His body was constantly changing.
When the first ray of light appeared in the sky, shining on Ye Futian's body, he raised his head and roared. He punched forward. There seemed to be a sonic boom and the air seemed to tremble. An unparalleled aura exploded from his body. Illusions of dragons and rocs bloomed from his fist intent. Above his body, there seemed to be a terrifying illusion of a divine ape. The martial arts will all over his body was extremely strong.
"Martial arts breakthrough." Ye Futian smiled. He had broken through both the Sorcerer Plane and the Martial Arts Plane in one night.
Ye Futian retracted his aura and stopped cultivating. Then, he went to wash his body. The sky was gradually brightening.
Today was the second day of the Tingfeng Banquet. Countless people from the Nandou Imperial City gathered towards the south gate of the palace.
Ye Futian's group was traveling with Emperor Ye's group today. On the way, Emperor Ye called Ye Futian over.
"Yesterday in the palace, Emperor Luo asked me for someone again," Emperor Ye said. Ye Futian was very calm. If Emperor Ye wanted to hand him over, he would have done so long ago.
Emperor Ye's admiration for him aside, the two countries were enemies. If Emperor Luo asked Emperor Ye for someone, would he hand him over? What would the world think of him?
"He knows it's impossible but he keeps bringing it up. Also, from his tone, I can feel that he's very confident. It's as if something will happen at the Tingfeng Banquet," Emperor Ye continued.
Ye Futian frowned slightly. Putting him aside, Emperor Luo inviting the emperors of three countries to the banquet seemed a bit unusual.
"Is it possible that Emperor Luo will ally with the Yunchu Nation and the Yan Kingdom?" Ye Futian asked quietly.
"Impossible." Emperor Ye shook his head. "The relationship between the four countries has always been delicate. The Yunchu Nation and the Yan Kingdom have no reason to ally with him."
Although there was constant friction between the countries, they each had a bottom line. The emperors wouldn't easily fight with each other unless something big happened that triggered a war.
The battle between the emperors was not a small matter. If it couldn't be stopped, no one could bear the consequences.
"But guessing is useless. Let's wait and see what Emperor Luo is so confident about." Emperor Ye smiled and shook his head. The group gradually arrived at the venue of the Tingfeng Banquet. At this moment, the endless crowd had already flooded the area. However, when they saw Emperor Ye's group, the people in the air couldn't help but open up a path.
Many people studied Emperor Ye up close. They didn't know how strong this ruler from the Cangye Kingdom was. If the emperors of the four countries could fight, it would be very exciting. Of course, they also knew that it wasn't very possible.
"Those girls are so beautiful." Someone looked at Lin Yueyao and the others behind the emperor. They were like fairies and couldn't help but exclaim.
"That's Ye Futian. He's from the East Sea Prefecture of the Nandou Nation. He later betrayed our country and joined the Cangye Kingdom. I heard that he's extremely talented, "someone said softly, pointing at Ye Futian. Yesterday, the emperors of the three countries came to attend the banquet. Many people asked about the people they brought and also heard some news.
The people of the Yunchu Nation and the Yan Kingdom had already arrived. When Emperor Ye's group arrived, Chu Kuangren, Yan Qi, and many others looked at Ye Futian.
Yesterday, the number one genius of the Fenghua Rank of the Cangye Kingdom didn't fight but he still left a deep impression on them.
Emperor Luo also came with his people. The emperors of the four countries were all present and the Tingfeng Banquet continued.
"Yesterday, Junlin invited everyone to the banquet. Did the geniuses of each country interact with each other?" Emperor Luo asked with a smile. The emperors were all slightly curious but they didn't purposely ask about what happened yesterday.
"I did fight with a few people on the Fenghua Rank. Just as I guessed, those in the Dharma Plane who were defeated by someone in the Glory Plane are indeed a bit weak. However, the Fenghua Banquet is held once every three years in the Cangye Kingdom. It's not bad to have such strength," Chu Kuangren said with a smile. Everyone could hear the arrogance in his calm voice.
Bai Qiu and Yu Jiang's faces darkened again. Could he not talk about this?
"The Yan Kingdom seems to have lost too," Bai Qiu said coldly.
"I can only say that the top three of the Fenghua Rank have some ability," Yan Qi said coldly. Yan Zhan had lost to Yu Sheng and Yu Sheng was third.
"Ye Wuchen is the most powerful person on the Fenghua Rank. There's no rush to spar with him. Let's see what kind of people emerge from this year's Tingfeng Banquet," Chu Kuangren said.
"What about the number one?" Emperor Luo asked with a smile. He acted like he didn't know Ye Futian. Of course, he really didn't know Ye Futian. It was the first time he saw him at the Tingfeng Banquet.
"Number one of the Fenghua Rank?" Chu Kuangren smiled faintly. "I don't know if he's really arrogant or if he's using it as an excuse to hide something."
Chu Kuangren was obviously implying that Ye Futian was pretending to be arrogant and avoiding a direct battle. If he didn't fight, no one would be able to tell what level Ye Futian's abilities were. Although he had proven himself at the Fenghua Banquet, only Emperor Ye and the people of the Cangye Kingdom had seen it. Everyone here was a top genius from each kingdom. Who would think they were inferior to someone else?
Many people looked at Ye Futian, including Lin Yueyao and Bai Qiu. Since last night, Chu Kuangren had been provoking him nonstop. Was he going to ignore it?
Ye Futian was still sitting there, watching the battles on the nine battle platforms. He ignored Chu Kuangren's provocation.
Everyone was speechless. This guy …
"Don't you have anything to say?" Chu Kuangren continued.
Ye Futian saw that Chu Kuangren was not going to let him go so he glanced at Chu Kuangren. It was only a glance before he looked back at the battle platforms, unmoved.
"…" Everyone was dumbfounded. Was the battle on the platform really that exciting?
Many people followed Ye Futian's gaze. It was a Seven-starred Glory Plane battle platform. Zhou Mu of Donghai Academy was fighting there.
