"Wonderful, truly wonderful!"
Feng Zaixing and Yu Xin walked off the dance floor, the aftertaste of their performance lingering. The high-ranking officials of the delegation clapped in praise. The Star Luo delegation leader, unaware of the details, praised: "Your Majesty specifically instructed us to pay more attention to him. It seems he is a man of our caliber."
Tang Bingyao was also entranced. Hearing this, his smile abruptly vanished, and he said dryly: "Actually, we really don't understand what he's thinking."
As far as he knew, Feng Zaixing had never participated in a large-scale reception or ball in his life; he mostly hosted his own parties with his people, focusing on spontaneity.
But now, with one move, he had truly made the entire room pale in comparison!
Xie Xie watched in a daze, then called out to Tang Wulin, who was acting like a glutton and eating up a storm with Xu Lizhi: "Wulin, Wulin, look at how happily they're dancing. Should we go dance too?"
"I'm eating, Xie Xie, don't disturb me—" Tang Wulin was immersed in the World of food and couldn't help himself, saying indistinctly: "Besides, I don't know how to dance, and no one is dancing with me anyway—"
"Hello, could I have a dance with you?" A crisp voice rang out beside Tang Wulin.
Tang Wulin turned his head and saw Lin Yuhan, dressed in a light blue gown, standing beside him at some unknown time.
"Long time no see. Last time in East Sea City, we tied. I'd really like to exchange pointers with you again," Lin Yuhan smiled.
After leaving the Heaven Dou City Forging Headquarters in disgrace, Lin Yuhan and her master traveled across the Douluo Continent, visiting many Forging Master Association branches to challenge them. In East Sea City, they happened to meet Tang Wulin visiting his teacher, resulting in a draw.
Tang Wulin hurriedly waved his hand: "Thank you, but I don't know how to dance."
"It's not hard, I'll teach you." Lin Yuhan generously extended her hand.
Before the stunned Tang Wulin could regain his thoughts, he was pulled toward the dance floor by Lin Yuhan.
"Good for you, Wulin, impressive!"
Xie Xie's face went dark as he watched. He muttered a few indignant words and went off to find a girl who caught his eye.
"Do you have someone to accompany you too—" Xu Lizhi lowered his head as he watched his foodie friend Tang Wulin being pulled away. He felt even sadder, glancing at Ye Xinglan from time to time but not daring to issue a dance invitation.
With his build, he'd probably be laughed to death if he went, right? Besides, he didn't know how to dance.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at the dance floor, where Feng Zaixing and Yu Xin were performing the Flaming Banner. For no reason, a bit of hatred rose in his heart.
"Why is it that you were born with extraordinary talent? And you have the best looks and background?"
"Why are we food system types born without combat power, unable even to keep the girl we want to protect, worthless in front of you, and not even worth a single glance?"
"Why is this World so unfair—"
Xu Lizhi knew Feng Zaixing didn't have any ill will toward him, and probably didn't even care about him as a person. Even Ye Xinglan was only dealt with casually because she looked for trouble. After being brought back to Bright Capital, she wasn't mistreated, but wasn't given special care either; she was treated normally.
But it was exactly this indifferent, transcendent attitude that made Xu Lizhi experience what true, heartfelt pride felt like.
Feng Zaixing didn't care at all what people like him thought, because in his eyes, their thoughts posed no threat and they didn't even have the qualification to make him waste his effort!
"Why is it that you, Feng Zaixing, could be born with supreme talent, easily stirring the World's winds and clouds, making so many powerhouses willing to follow you in World-shaking events?"
Xu Lizhi didn't understand, but a sudden surge of infinite hatred welled up from the bottom of his heart. Perhaps it was because Feng Zaixing suppressed Shrek, or perhaps because the Ye Xinglan he cared about meant nothing to Feng Zaixing.
But even though he hated, Xu Lizhi didn't dare express his dissatisfaction until the ball ended, because he knew his own capabilities.
At the ball, once Feng Zaixing had cheered up Yu Xin, he encountered a duel invitation from his classmate Gu Yue, the Silver Dragon King, and a learning request from Yuanen.
"Feng Zaixing, I'm not convinced. Come fight!"
"Teacher, your Disciple also has a small doubt to ask for advice—"
Facing the challenge, Feng Zaixing was undaunted; facing the request for advice, Feng Zaixing loved to teach.
After a dance filled with high-difficulty maneuvers and the Body Sect's unique force-exertion methods, Gu Yue was panting, her fragrant sweat soaking her silver dragon colored dress.
"I'll count you as impressive!" Gu Yue pressed her tingling waist and quietly withdrew from the battlefield, a strategic retreat.
Yuanen, like Feng Zaixing, was a novice at ball dancing. Feng Zaixing patiently guided her, gradually teaching her the key points.
"Learning requires mental force. You must leverage our advantages as Spirit Master geniuses. Any operation that can be completed with numerical precision is not an issue," Feng Zaixing taught persuasively.
"I see." Yuanen Yehui took his words as gospel, indicating she understood. Thus, through repeated spins and dips, she relied on her extraordinary talent to display high-difficulty style.
For a moment, countless young girls watched with gritted teeth. Yuanen Yehui's talent with twin spirits was, in a sense, a peerless power that could not be caught up to through Acquired effort!
"Very good, you have great Comprehension Ability. Tonight, prepare to receive further learning." After the dance ended, Feng Zaixing gave a mysterious smile to the still-unsatisfied Yuanen Yehui.
Yuanen Yehui said longingly: "Teacher, what kind of learning is that?"
Feng Zaixing said off the top of his head: "Of course, it's learning for continuous improvement."
As the ball concluded, Feng Zaixing swept the awards for Best Dressed Man and Most Handsome Man with absolute dominance. The Most Graceful Dance Duo went to Feng Zaixing and Yu Xin's Flaming Banner.
Naer and Yuanen Yehui followed Feng Zaixing outside the ship with expectant looks, asking: "Senior Martial Brother (Teacher), why did you bring us here?"
"To bring you down, of course."
Feng Zaixing gave a faint smile, reached out with both hands, grabbed one in each, and dove into the sea. He took the two girls a hundred meters underwater to begin the Body Sect's characteristic second Awakening training.
"As the Acting Sect Master, I announce that the Body Sect's forty-nine-day second Awakening Hell-style training begins now! You must all work hard and not fail This Sect's vigorous cultivation!"
Naer widened her innocent purple eyes, as if silently accusing: Senior Martial Brother, how could you bear to throw such a cute Junior Sister into the ocean? It's so cold.
Yuanen Yehui remained silent, squeezing out a helpless smile under the sea pressure, indicating that she could accept any training from her teacher, but could he please give her some advance notice next time?
"Junior Sister, you're not allowed to act cute. I promised the teacher before he went to the Blood God Legion that I would lead the Body Sect to prosper more and more."
Feng Zaixing ignored Naer's attempt to act cute to get by, then said to Yuanen Yehui: "Advance notice won't work. Only sudden attacks are effective. This is also training for your vigilance, training your ability to face sudden crises."
"Rather than bleeding under an enemy's surprise attack later, it's better for me, one of your own, to give you combat training first. Passing is best; this is all part of the combat process. Even falling into a state of suspended animation is quite normal."
Naer and Yuanen Yehui immediately looked despairing. Once this Senior Martial Brother (Teacher) got serious, his heart was as hard as iron, and no one could sway him.
"Train well, push your limits. Everyone in the Body Sect goes through this once. You'll get used to it."
Feng Zaixing smiled faintly, left the two girls, and rose above the sea surface, manipulating the sea pressure from the ship.
Yu Xin and Gu Yue walked out from the shadows, marveling: "Truly a heartless man. One moment you're hugging them, the next you're pushing them into the sea."
Feng Zaixing curled his lip. "I'm really doing this for their own good. Since the teacher has gone for long-term service in the Blood God Legion, I have no choice but to be the bad guy myself."
Gu Yue gazed into the depths of the sea, her lips twitching as she spoke with suppressed laughter: "She is a Tool Spirit Spirit Master. Throwing her down there won't do much good, though of course, I support you doing this."
Let this idiot's heart be full of humans; now she'll know the taste of suffering.
Feng Zaixing shook his head: "The principle of This Sect's Cultivation method lies in stimulating the potential genes of the Bloodline or Spirit. Whether it's a Beast Spirit or a Tool Spirit isn't the core; they're just different forms of expression."
He tilted his head, a very interested smile appearing: "However, in This Sect's history, we've never actually thrown an elemental system Spirit Master like you into the sea. How about we give it a try?"
"No, absolutely not, goodbye!" How could the Silver Dragon King not know what this human was planning?
He clearly wanted to experience the pleasure of suppressing both silver dragon sisters at once. She immediately made a run for it.
Feng Zaixing looked at Yu Xin and said casually: "It's a pity the quality of the Godly Brush Spirit is already the pinnacle of Tool Spirits. I don't even know if such a Spirit has any room for improvement."
Yu Xin raised an eyebrow, pulled out the deification list, and said smilingly: "Do you really want to throw your sister down? The little guy from back then has truly grown up."
Feng Zaixing held down the deification list, his mouth twitching: "Don't just pull out a Divine Artifact at the drop of a hat, it's quite scary."
Yu Xin said seriously: "I see that your mental force is among the top even within the Spirit Domain Realm. You could completely enter the deification list for advanced study."
Feng Zaixing said with a straight face: "I think you're also very suitable to go in. You've mostly absorbed the Foundation of the autumn water dew. You must have set a new Yu Family record?"
"Naturally. Otherwise, wouldn't I be losing face for you?" Yu Xin put the deification list behind her back and said softly: "But it is indeed a pity. I was wondering how I should Cultivate in the future to keep up with you. Your speed is too fast."
Feng Zaixing said: "There are only a few ways to enhance strength: spirit souls, Spirit Bones, battle armor—I've been researching the lost Spirit Bone Armor recently. This was a special ability that only existed during the Spirit Hall era, forging the six Spirit Bones of the body into a single whole, significantly boosting all attributes."
"Possessing Spirit Bone Armor was also the Divine Suit Foundation for the three great gods of that era. Unfortunately, since that era, Spirit Bone Armor has nearly gone extinct; because unless one is lucky, this kind of armor must be formed by using an external Spirit Bone to communicate with the six Spirit Bones."
"I'm thinking now that using modern battle armor technology might achieve a similar effect. We have quite a few experts here with six Spirit Bones."
Yu Xin frowned: "That's very meaningful, but this kind of research is suitable for Ming de Hall, ideally in collaboration with the Forging Master Association."
Feng Zaixing nodded: "The ideal state would be to also involve the Spirit Transfer Pagoda. The various types of data they control are definitely the most extensive."
"True—By the way, is it really useful to throw Yehui and Naer down there?"
Yu Xin said suspiciously: "The Titan Giant Ape, Fallen Angel, and silver dragon spear are all top-tier Spirits."
0
"It's definitely useful." Feng Zaixing glanced down and increased the ocean pressure, explaining: "The Titan Giant Ape Bloodline of the Yuanen family has actually been weakening as it continues through generations. The first few generations had Quasi-God powerhouses, but then there were none until Yuan En Zhentian became a Quasi-God again."
"I've been intentionally cultivating the Fallen Angel Bloodline; it should have transformed long ago."
In short, the little sapling he'd been tending for a long time was finally time to flower and bear fruit.
Yu Xin nodded and asked: "Then what about Naer?"
Feng Zaixing hesitated for a moment and said: "That one is really just a guess, but even if it doesn't succeed, it will be of great benefit to her physical enhancement."
Naer carries thirty percent of the Silver Dragon King's Origin and a portion of the Golden Dragon King's Bloodline. Theoretically, there's a possibility of synthesizing the Dragon God Bloodline.
But as for the specifics, he'd have to see the subsequent experimental results. Even Feng Zaixing couldn't predict the outcome.
Time passed day by day. Feng Zaixing soon began guiding Sea Soul Beasts to put pressure on his Junior Martial Uncle and Disciple from the Body Sect. In a flash, forty days had passed.
