"The concentration of spiritual power in the Northwest is too thin. The effect of meditating and cultivating here is more than half of what I got when I was cultivating at the Federation Martial Arts University."
"Yeah, yeah. With such poor cultivation effects, I don't even want to meditate anymore!"
"No wonder prodigies rarely appear in the Northwest. The Northwest Guardian Residence has always been in a mediocre position in the entire Federation's 36 regions!"
"I really don't know what's wrong with the principal. Why did he have to make us come all the way to this lousy place?"
"Rumor has it that we're here to worship Yang Fan as our master. Brothers, do you think that Yang Fan is really that amazing? Is it worth it for so many of us to worship him as our master? Is he worthy? "
"Who knows? Anyway, that kid's quite famous now. The rumors about him are also very exaggerated. They say that even half-step Sovereigns are crying and fighting to worship him as their master. I don't know if that's true or not …"
In private, the young martial artists from the Federation Martial Arts University and various aristocratic families were all complaining in low voices.
Not only was the accommodation in Dai Xing City not as good as the Federal Center City, but even the concentration of spiritual power and cultivation effects were less than half of what they usually were. Who could stand this?
There was also Yang Fan. He was about the same age as them. Was he really that awesome? They felt a little unconvinced to worship such a young man as their master.
Compared to these young martial artists who rarely ventured across regions and had never been to the Northwest Territory, the high-ranking martial artists with cultivation levels above Venerable Sovereign were much quieter.
The environment of the Northwest Guardian Residence was indeed a little bad, but after experiencing the scouring of the fifteenth spiritual power tide, it was much better than before.
These young people had never been beaten up by life. They had never experienced a more desolate and barren spiritual power environment.
If they had come to the Northwest Territory ten or even twenty years ago, they would know that the current Northwest Guardian Residence was actually a place like heaven.
As for whether Yang Fan was worthy of these people worshipping him as their master, was there even a need to ask?
Just look at the attitude of Principal Tang, City Lord Yao, and the other big shots. These people were all shrewd people. If even they felt that Yang Fan was worthy of worship, then what else was there to say?
More than half of these eight hundred people didn't know Yang Fan. After all, when Yang Fan went to the Federal Center City, he spent most of his time building the array. He didn't have much time to wander around.
At that time, there were many experts who wanted their juniors to be Yang Fan's disciple, but in the end, because of various reasons, they didn't have the time to care about it.
Therefore, most of these people had only heard of Yang Fan's name and did not know who he was. They did not know much about Yang Fan.
Now that there was suddenly a big shot forcing them to come and take him as their master, it was inevitable that these people would feel a little unhappy in their hearts.
"A bunch of brats. They're just too energetic. They only know how to let their imaginations run wild."
Tang Zhicheng naturally also sensed the discussions of these students and young warriors, but he didn't forcibly stop them.
Young people were arrogant. It was normal for them to not be convinced by anyone. They always had to suffer some hardships before they could grow up.
Now, as long as they didn't go out to cause trouble and didn't give that Half-Emperor dog a reason to attack, let them be.
Weren't they just complaining behind his back? As long as they didn't curse or fight, it wouldn't be a big deal.
"Principal Tang is really open-minded."
Wu Dao, who was sitting in front of Tang Zhicheng, stroked his beard and chuckled. He secretly transmitted his voice to Tang Zhicheng.
"But I advise you to be careful. I know Yang Fan well. He's not a kind person. He's also very narrow-minded. Be careful not to let him hear these words about him. He'll make life difficult for these juniors."
Tang Zhicheng shook his head and smiled indifferently.
"Being made life difficult is also a kind of life experience. It's okay."
"Moreover, one has to bear the consequences of one's own mistakes. Since these kids have the guts to gossip behind their backs, they naturally have to have the courage to bear the adverse consequences of being heard by others."
As he spoke, Tang Zhicheng glanced deeply at Wu Dao and said, "Even Wu Dao is like you.
"Old Brother Wu, you are the same as well. If you continue to gossip behind Yang shi's back, Yang shi might make things difficult for you in the future."
The corners of Wu Dao's mouth twitched.
'Alright, I reminded you out of goodwill, yet you caught me in the act instead. Fatty Tang, do you know that you won't have any friends if you act like this?'
'But could that kid, Yang Fan, have really overheard what I said just now?'
Logically speaking, a tiny King Realm cultivator like Yang Fan would definitely not be able to intercept a voice transmission between Half-Step Emperors like them.
However, that kid, Yang Fan, was really too strange. Wu Dao did not dare to guarantee this, so he suddenly became a little suspicious.
"I also think that these kids have become stupid from cultivating. They even dared to gossip about Doctor Yang. They're really bold."
At this moment, Hui Zi 'an also interjected softly.
"Earlier, Doctor Yang revealed his Dharma Idol and started a global live broadcast. He killed 6 Half-Step Emperors in a row and even lured out the Earth Dragon Demon Emperor's clone. Could it be that these kids didn't see it?"
"In the face of a human warrior who could easily kill a Half-step Emperor Realm demon, how big of a heart do they have to be to say such disapproving and fearless words?"
"Principal Tang, to put it bluntly, not to mention how rare it is to kill 6 Half-Step Emperors in a row, is this Dharma Idol something that just anyone can execute?"
"Little Friend Yang Fan is extremely talented. He used the Dharma Idol with a cultivation base that isn't at the Emperor Realm to deter all heroes and show the might of our human race. It can't be said that no one will be able to do it in the future, but it's definitely unprecedented!"
Hui Zi 'an asked a few questions in succession, and every single one of them was on Yang Fan's side. In the end, she was even praising Yang Fan to the heavens.
It was obvious that this old woman admired Yang Fan very much. Or perhaps, she was deliberately saying this for Yang Fan to hear and flatter Yang Fan.
They were all old things that had lived for hundreds of years, so none of them were easy to deal with.
Although Wu Dao, Hui Zi 'an, and the others still didn't know the real purpose of their trip to the northwest, they must have some doubts in their hearts. Otherwise, they wouldn't have provoked him with words one after another.
Now, Hui Zi 'an didn't even care about her face. She directly flattered Yang Fan so blatantly. Obviously, she must have sensed something.
"Professor Hui, you misunderstood. These children didn't mean to disrespect Doctor Yang."
"Moreover, not everyone had the opportunity to watch the live broadcast of the Dharma Idol yesterday. Many warriors who were in seclusion or exploring Secret Lands missed it. It's normal."
Tang Zhicheng explained to Hui Zi 'an in a low voice. Then, he said seriously, "In fact, I admire Doctor Yang very much for what he has done."
"He's young, handsome, capable, and has a strong character. I've always admired him. It's just that my Tang family doesn't have a suitable granddaughter. Otherwise, I would definitely pull him in to be my Tang family's grandson-in-law!"
When Wu Dao, Hui Zi 'an, and the others heard this, they couldn't help but tremble.
This Old Tang was really going all out. How could he say such straightforward and disgusting flattery?
Could they say that the Vice-chancellor was indeed a Vice-chancellor? Even flattery could be done in such a fresh and refined way?
Wu Dao and Hui Zi 'an couldn't help but look at each other.
There was indeed something fishy going on here.
If they were only here to bring students to be apprenticed, Tang Zhicheng, as the Vice-chancellor of the Federation Martial Arts University, had no need to lower himself so much.
There must be some secret that they didn't know about.
"Alright, you two stop guessing blindly."
Seeing the sudden realization and inquisitive looks on their faces, Tang Zhicheng shook his head slightly and said to them telepathically,
"Since we're already here, there's no need to continue hiding it from you."
"On this trip to the Northwest, bringing these juniors to be apprenticed to Yang Fan is only secondary. The most important thing is actually the second Imperial Demise phenomenon that's about to appear in the Northwest Guardian Mansion."
What?!
Wu Dao and Hui Zi 'an were both shocked. Their eyes were filled with astonishment.
Did they hear wrongly? Was Fatty Tang really talking about the Imperial Demise phenomenon?
Was he sure that the Northwest Guardian Mansion would become the second Imperial Demise? Could it be that there were still Mutated Sovereigns left in Capital City?
At the mention of the Imperial Demise phenomenon, the two naturally thought of Capital City and the Mutated Sovereigns' invasion.
"That's right. It's just as you think."
Seeing the astonishment in their eyes, Tang Zhicheng continued,
"Of the two Mutated Sovereigns that invaded Capital City from the Martial Arts Secret Realm, one of them is still alive and has been captured by our young friend Yang Fan."
"And our young friend Yang Fan insists on opening the second Imperial Demise in the Northwest Guardian Mansion in order to give back to his hometown and change the situation in the Northwest Guardian Mansion."
"At present, this matter is still top secret. Only a few people know about it. I hope that the two of you can keep it a secret and don't leak it out."
In an instant, Wu Dao and Hui Zi 'an both understood.
It turned out that this was the real purpose of their trip to the Northwest!
It was no wonder that the Federation government and the Federation Martial Arts University had selected so many prodigies and martial artists at once. They had even used the newly developed Yunleng Model VII airship.
It was no wonder that even though he didn't need so many Half-Step Emperors to escort him, he still insisted on sending these Half-Step Emperors to accompany him.
It turned out that the bodyguards and apprenticeship were all incidental and a pretense. The most important thing was to freeload off the Imperial Demise.
"The Imperial Demise phenomenon has erupted. Spiritual energy is overflowing, and the rules of the Great Dao are shaking endlessly."
"Elder Li and Master Tian Chan specially asked you to come here. They hope that you can take advantage of this opportunity to break through the shackles and break through to the next realm!"
Tang Zhicheng looked deeply at Wu Dao and Hui Zi 'an, and said,
"You, including I, are all half-step Sovereigns in the Federation who are most likely to succeed in breaking through to the next realm. I hope that we can seize this opportunity and get what we want!"
Wu Dao and Hui Zi 'an's eyes flashed when they heard this. They nodded at the same time.
