Ning Rongrong's question voiced the thoughts of everyone present.
Last time, Li Yifei was only a 'High-rank God of War,' equivalent to an Apprentice Rank Nine, yet he could completely suppress Bibi Dong, a Peerless Douluo.
Now that he has broken through to the Planetary Level, just how terrifying must he be?
Inside the Spirit Hall carriage, Bibi Dong's breathing hitched for a moment.
She certainly remembered that battle; it was one of the greatest humiliations of her life.
Li Yifei had defeated her without even activating his Spirit, leaving her utterly defenseless.
Although, at that time, he technically didn't have a Spirit.
And now, he had broken through again?
[Little Fox Demon: Can he instantly kill His Holiness the Pope now?]
The air inside the Spirit Hall carriage instantly turned cold.
Hu Liena regretted sending the message the moment she finished typing. She secretly glanced up and met Bibi Dong's icy purple eyes, which held not a trace of warmth.
She flinched, wishing she could bury her head under the seat.
Li Yifei did not directly answer the question. He did not want to repeatedly crush Bibi Dong's self-esteem over the same topic.
[Li Yifei: Hehe, I'm not as formidable as you imagine.]
[Li Yifei: The Planetary Level is actually just the basic requirement to apply to become a citizen of humanity.]
This single sentence plunged the Chat Group, which had just begun to stabilize, back into silence.
Planetary Level.
The Realm that sounded to them like something above the gods was merely the threshold for 'citizenship'?
Then what were those who hadn't reached the Planetary Level considered?
Ning Rongrong's fingers trembled as she carefully typed out a line of text.
[Worlds Number One Princess: Then what about humans who haven't reached the Planetary Level?]
Li Yifei's reply popped up quickly.
[Li Yifei: They cannot apply to become citizens and have no legal protection. That's why I say our world is very dangerous.]
No legal protection!
These six words struck the hearts of every girl in the group like six ice picks.
They were all high-ranking figures in the Douluo Continent. Even Zhu Zhuqing, who had the most difficult background, had never imagined a world could be this cruel.
The weak didn't even possess the qualification to be protected.
They could be killed and plundered at will, just like Spirit Masters hunting Spirit Beasts, or perhaps even worse.
Bibi Dong clenched her fists, and the spirit power within the carriage began to fluctuate erratically.
She suddenly understood.
Everything she had experienced, all the pain she had endured, might just be the norm in Li Yifei's world.
That place was the true jungle.
Only the strong could earn dignity.
Just then.
The live broadcast screen switched without any warning.
It was no longer the courtyard in the Sunset Forest, but an official road.
...
On the official road.
A figure dressed in pink was skipping along, happily chewing on a carrot in her hand.
It was Xiao Wu!
But she didn't notice that above her head, a pair of sinister eyes had been watching her for a long time.
The owner of those eyes had lost his last shred of patience the moment he heard Xiao Wu talking to herself about going to Heaven Dou City.
A black shadow descended from the sky like a falcon pouncing on a rabbit!
"Bang!"
Xiao Wu didn't even have time to see who had arrived. A massive, overwhelming force slammed into her, and her consciousness instantly sank into darkness.
The black-robed man reached out and steadily caught her.
He looked down at the unconscious girl in his hands, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
"I originally planned to wait a bit longer, wait until your relationship with Little San deepened, and then find an opportunity to have you willingly sacrifice yourself."
The black-robed man's hoarse, low voice echoed on the empty official road.
"But you actually want to go to Heaven Dou City?"
"Although there are few Titled Douluo there, there are plenty of Spirit Douluo."
"If your identity is discovered, my plan will be ruined."
Just as the black-robed man was about to leave with Xiao Wu.
Suddenly.
Xiao Wu's lips moved slightly, emitting some faint sounds.
It was the cry for help she sent to the group, using the last bit of strength before her consciousness completely faded.
[Bunny is So Cute: Help... Help!]
In the courtyard of the Sunset Forest.
Li Yifei's ongoing explanation abruptly stopped, and his brow instantly furrowed.
"Little Rabbit is in trouble."
He looked at the messages in the group.
Dugu Yan also saw the messages and her expression changed: "Brother Yi Fei, Little Rabbit, she..."
Li Yifei wasted no words.
"I'm going to see what happened to Little Rabbit."
His finger tapped the screen, and a virtual card instantly burned away.
The next second, his figure vanished from the courtyard into thin air.
Everyone in the group saw the live broadcast screen change.
Inside the Spirit Hall carriage.
Bibi Dong sat bolt upright, sharp light shooting from her purple eyes.
"This is the ability of the Group Member Teleportation Scroll?"
Hu Liena widened her charming eyes, covering her mouth: "Teacher, he... he went there instantly! Is that spatial teleportation?"
Bibi Dong did not reply. All her focus was concentrated on the live broadcast on the screen.
The image shook slightly, then stabilized.
Li Yifei's figure had already appeared on the official road.
In front of him stood a person wearing a black robe.
The black-robed man was still holding the unconscious Xiao Wu in his hand.
The sudden appearance of the figure made the black-robed man's muscles instantly tense. He subconsciously retreated over ten meters, creating a distance he deemed safe.
Li Yifei stood quietly.
His gaze swept over the black-robed man like the most precise instrument.
His Spiritual Force spread out like mercury pouring onto the ground, silently enveloping the target.
One second later.
He knew the opponent's identity.
Tang Hao.
The Clear Sky Douluo of the Clear Sky Sect, the youngest Titled Douluo on the Douluo Continent.
The corner of Li Yifei's mouth curved slightly upward.
Interesting.
Tang Hao looked at the unfathomable man before him, his mind racing.
After Xiao Wu arrived in the human world, she had been under his constant surveillance, making it impossible for her to know a powerhouse of this level.
Even if she did know him, the other person's goal would likely be her Hundred Thousand Year spirit ring and spirit bone.
Therefore, this man before him, whom he could not see through at all, was probably, like Xiao Wu, a Hundred Thousand Year Spirit Beast that had taken human form!
Was he her elder?
Tang Hao thought of the faint cry for help Xiao Wu made before losing consciousness, and his conviction grew stronger.
Once Tang Hao figured this out, he felt slightly relieved.
Since he was also a Spirit Beast, it would be easier to handle.
He lowered his voice and spoke with a hoarse tone: "I knew this rabbit was too foolish to actually want to run to Heaven Dou City. Did she forget that she is a Spirit Beast?"
"Or does she think that because she's mature, others can't see her identity anymore?"
"Although Heaven Dou City is weak and doesn't have many Titled Douluo, there are Spirit Douluo everywhere. Isn't she just walking into death?"
"So, she has a 'Senior' she can rely on for backing."
Li Yifei did not refute his assumption that he was a Spirit Beast. He simply asked lightly:
"Who are you? You sound like you know her well?"
Hearing this, Tang Hao became even more certain.
