"Wha... what?!"
Xie Xie stared dumbfounded at the scene before him, his voice filled with disbelief.
The entire Sea God Lake shore fell into dead silence, with only the faint sound of the breeze brushing across the lake surface.
This Limit Douluo battle that should have shaken heaven and earth had actually concluded in an instant, so quickly that people had no time to react.
Tang Wulin took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the shock in his heart, and asked: "Fang Yang, your current strength..."
"Just average."
Fang Yang said indifferently, his tone calm.
These two words made everyone's hearts tremble violently. To effortlessly kill two peak powerhouses of the continent—including the Level 99 Limit Douluo Long Yeyue—and call it merely "average"...
If this was average, then what did that make their strength?
At this moment, everyone realized that Fang Yang's strength had reached a realm beyond their imagination.
Xie Xie subconsciously swallowed his saliva, muttering softly: "If this is average, then I probably don't even count as average..."
He recalled the scene when Fang Yang made his move just now.
No flashy soul technique clashes, no prolonged battles—just a few simple moves, and two peak powerhouses were crushed like ants.
"Sister Ya Li, the traitors have been dealt with now," Fang Yang turned to Ya Li and said, his tone still calm.
"Mm."
Ya Li nodded gently, "Long Yeyue was easy to handle, but once Chen Xinjie learns of this matter, I'm afraid he won't let it rest."
She paused, then continued.
"Chen Xinjie is not only the Master of the War God Temple, but also Federation Vice Chairman, Federation General, Commander of the Sea God Legion, and Patriarch of the Sea God Family."
"He holds high positions and great power within the Sun-Moon Federation. The Sea God Legion under his command is an elite force. Most importantly, his love for Long Yeyue runs deep..."
Upon hearing this, Fang Yang smiled indifferently.
"It doesn't matter. In my life, when have I ever needed to explain myself to others?"
"Alright, I understand."
Ya Li said no more upon hearing this.
She looked into Fang Yang's deep eyes and suddenly felt she had worried too much.
With the strength Fang Yang had displayed today, there were probably only a handful of existences on the entire continent capable of rivaling him.
Just then, Fang Yang's soul guide communicator suddenly rang.
Everyone present involuntarily looked at Fang Yang.
"It's fine, I'm taking a call."
Fang Yang said as he activated the communicator, "Hello, Senior Liu Yang, is there something you need?"
"I don't have anything to look for you for right now, but someone else does," Liu Yang's voice came from the communicator.
"Who is it?" Fang Yang asked upon hearing this.
"I'll transfer you to him, he'll contact you." Liu Yang didn't answer directly, keeping him in suspense.
Fang Yang spoke.
"Alright, Senior Liu Yang, I understand."
"Mm, that's it then."
Liu Yang cut off the communication after speaking.
Fang Yang put away his communicator and said to everyone.
"I have some matters to attend to here. You all return to the Sea God Pavilion first."
"Alright."
Ya Li and the others nodded, asking no further questions, and led everyone back to the Sea God Pavilion.
Only Fang Yang remained in place. The breeze from Sea God Lake gently brushed past, bringing a bit of coolness and the fresh scent of lake water.
He stood quietly in place, his gaze deep as he looked toward the boundless sky in the distance, seeming to be thinking about something, or perhaps simply waiting.
Not long after, the soul guide communicator rang again.
After connecting, Fang Yang asked directly.
"Who are you?"
"Allow me to introduce myself. I am Xu Jinghuang, Chairman of the Sun-Moon Federation."
A steady and authoritative voice came from the communicator. "At the same time, I have another name—I am called Huang."
"Interesting."
A trace of amusement flashed in Fang Yang's eyes. "What business do you have with me?"
"Long Yeyue—you dealt with her."
Xu Jinghuang said directly, his tone certain rather than questioning.
"Yes." Fang Yang didn't deny it, nor did he need to. With the Sun-Moon Federation's intelligence network, such matters couldn't be hidden.
Xu Jinghuang continued.
"Regarding Chen Xinjie, I will handle it personally."
"I will ensure he doesn't cause you unnecessary trouble over Long Yeyue's matter."
"What's the price?"
Fang Yang asked. He never believed in free lunches.
"If I said there wasn't one, you certainly wouldn't believe me."
Xu Jinghuang chuckled lightly, carrying the composure of a superior.
Fang Yang responded calmly: "Then tell me."
Xu Jinghuang's voice became serious.
"I will fully support you and appoint you as the next Chairman of the Sun-Moon Federation."
"What do you mean by this?" Fang Yang frowned slightly. This condition was indeed unexpected.
"Of course, I have conditions as well."
Xu Jinghuang changed the subject. "I need you to unify the Douluo Continent."
"Unify the Douluo Continent?"
Fang Yang repeated, his tone betraying neither joy nor anger.
"Exactly."
Xu Jinghuang's tone became solemn. "The Star Luo Empire, the remnant forces of the Tian Dou Empire, the various great sects, the Spirit Pagoda... I need only one voice on the Douluo Continent."
"I understand. You need me to lead the Sun-Moon Federation to conquer all forces and achieve true unification." Fang Yang instantly understood Xu Jinghuang's grand ambition.
"Precisely, that is my requirement."
Xu Jinghuang affirmed. "The continent has been divided for too long. It is time to welcome true unification."
Fang Yang was silent for a moment. The breeze blew through his hair, his eyes flashing with the light of contemplation.
The Sun-Moon Federation unifying the Douluo Continent! This prospect truly moved him.
"Alright, I agree."
Finally, Fang Yang made his decision, his voice steady and forceful.
"Happy cooperation, Fang Yang."
Xu Jinghuang's voice carried a trace of satisfied smile. "Regarding the specifics, I will send someone to Shrek Academy to discuss with you in detail."
Subsequently, the communication was cut off.
Fang Yang stood in place, looking at the sparkling surface of Sea God Lake, his gaze gradually becoming deeper.
"Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue, Indigo, Purple..."
He muttered to himself in a low voice. "Unifying the Douluo Continent reminds me of the Tang God King's deus ex machina!"
"Your goal is probably not just unification, but... Tang Hao, right?"
Fang Yang's eyes narrowed slightly, already having formed some speculations in his heart.
...
Sun-Moon Federation Headquarters, Mingdu.
In a room isolated from detection.
Xu Jinghuang—or rather, Huang—slowly put down the soul guide communicator in his hand.
The authoritative aura of a superior that surrounded him gradually receded, replaced by an ancient, vast aura.
Xu Jinghuang spoke.
"Purple, he agreed."
"As expected."
Liu Yang's voice came from the shadows, and his figure slowly appeared.
"Then how should we proceed next?" Xu Jinghuang looked at Liu Yang.
"Let Fang Yang go unify the various forces. The seven of us will prepare in secret."
Liu Yang said, a flash of light passing through his eyes. "By the way, the little gift we've prepared for Tang Hao should also begin being arranged."
"Alright."
Xu Jinghuang nodded slightly.
The two looked at each other and smiled, both their eyes flashing with profound light.
