—------------------—
The ocean at night was treacherous with shifting clouds. The high-speed speedboat activated all its protective measures to prevent any crisis.
Feng Zaixing opened his eyes on the soft bed. Before him, the sky was about to break dawn. Beside him, a sapphire blue spine bone glowed brilliantly, emitting a light more beautiful than the finest coral.
"Is that the Deep Sea Demon Whale's torso bone? An unexpected surprise."
Feng Zaixing recognized the Spirit Bone, his eyes slightly brightening. A fifty-thousand-year Deep Sea Demon Whale torso bone was considered a top-grade Spirit Bone, second only to hundred-thousand-year ones.
He had no use for it himself, but whether for friends and family or for trade, it was an excellent choice.
"Junior Brother, you're awake? That's great!"
A Ruheng, who had been resting with his eyes closed in the room, rushed to the bed, cheerfully saying, "Congratulations, your training was a perfect success!"
"Just lucky."
Feng Zaixing assessed his physical condition, which was stronger than ever before. He could hear his heartbeat, and gentle medicinal energy flowed through his Meridians. His blood and bones greedily absorbed the world's elemental energy, strengthening his physique.
He knew that Mu Ye had prepared a medicinal bath for him after he fainted. After the great battle, fully absorbing the medicinal energy had elevated his physical strength to another level.
Perhaps it was the various fortuitous encounters that caused his spirit power to circulate on its own, as another of his extraordinary Meridians had been unblocked, and his spirit power had broken through to rank thirty-nine.
He was just one step away from becoming a Spirit Ancestor.
Sitting up, he stretched his body with limbering exercises and asked, "Senior Brother, how are Teacher and Old Ancestor?"
"Old Mr. Le is on watch, and Teacher is in seclusion."
A Ruheng laughed heartily, "Teacher seems to have been stimulated by you. He's circulating his energy to open new Meridians and is aiming to break through to rank ninety-seven."
"Moreover, he seems to have entered a deep meditation during his Cultivation, which is very rare."
"Oh? So he's unconscious now?" Feng Zaixing's eyes lit up.
"That's right, Junior Brother, what are you planning?"
A Ruheng rubbed his bald head, very curious about what new trick his Junior Brother had up his sleeve.
"Of course, I'm going to help him out."
Feng Zaixing rarely showed a mischievous smile, took out his Spirit tool communicator, and dialed a number.
"Hello, Old Kong, we're on our way back from the ocean. Please come find us quickly. My Teacher is currently in deep meditation. It's a good opportunity to confine him and seize his mecha."
"...You've already sent people to watch Ling Zichen's entire family? Good, good, good. When we get back, we'll tie them all up to avenge the Tang Sect's abduction of several top talents from our Academy ten thousand years ago!"
After the call ended, Feng Zaixing looked at A Ruheng's confused face and, before the latter could speak, asked:
"Senior Brother, don't you think we, as Disciples, should share our Teacher's burdens?"
"Yes, but Junior Brother, you—"
A Ruheng's mouth twitched, not understanding what this had to do with his Junior Brother's intention to bully his Teacher and destroy his ancestors.
"As a successor of the Body Sect, shouldn't we prioritize the future of the Sect?" Feng Zaixing continued to ask.
"Yes," A Ruheng replied.
"Our Sect was once a top Sect on par with Shrek Academy, but now we don't even have a Limit Douluo. Is that acceptable?"
"Unacceptable." A Ruheng shook his head repeatedly.
"The current Sect Master neglects the fundamentals, indulging in mechas and wasting time, stuck before the Super Douluo stage for many years. Isn't that even more unacceptable?"
"Yes." A Ruheng nodded blankly. He seemed to understand something.
"Therefore, measures must be taken!"
Feng Zaixing clapped his hands, stood up, and passionately declared:
"For the long-term benefit of our Sect, I, your Junior Brother, am willing to risk universal condemnation, bear the infamy, forcibly seize Teacher's mecha, and suppress him. I believe that under such pressure, Teacher will surely reflect deeply and Break through to Limit Douluo!"
"By removing the stigma of our Sect not having a Limit Douluo, we, the future generations, will also have the face to meet our ancestors."
A Ruheng roughly understood, his face twitching as he said, "But Junior Brother, if you do this—Teacher might beat you badly after he comes out of seclusion."
"For the Sect, a little grievance for me is nothing." Feng Zaixing waved his hand, smiling, "Besides, who stipulated that the Body Sect can only have elders urge Juniors to Cultivate? Can't Juniors put some pressure on their elders?"
A Ruheng's mind brightened, and he nodded in deep agreement: "Indeed, that is the case."
The Body Sect's Cultivation methods were brutal. Why should they suffer while Mu Ye just watched?
Outside, Le Zhengyang heard all of this, a smirk on his lips. He flashed into the room, stroked his beard, and said:
"Regarding locking people in a secret room to Cultivate, I, this old man, have some experience to offer—"
The two Senior and Junior Brothers both gave him a thumbs-up.
The demigods acted quickly. Kong Yao arrived at the speedboat by noon that day.
With swift and efficient movements, Feng Zaixing and Kong Yao neatly packaged Mu Ye and his meditation cushion. Le Zhengyang suppressed Mu Ye's mecha, Little Red, and A Ruheng piloted the boat. Everything was orderly.
After landing, Kong Yao unleashed his Sun and Moon Spirits, flying Mu Ye, who was completely unaware of what had happened outside, towards Mingdu, with A Ruheng accompanying them.
According to Kong Yao, he had already excavated a large, enclosed secret chamber beneath Mingde Hall, which even a Level 9 soul-guided fixed cannon shell couldn't breach, ensuring absolute safety and silence.
Feng Zaixing waved goodbye to his beloved Teacher and Senior Brother, smacking his lips, "First time doing this, it's quite exciting."
Le Zhengyang chuckled, "That's right, our Family has always been like this."
"I hope I'm thick-skinned enough the day he comes out of seclusion, otherwise, I'm afraid I won't be able to withstand his beating."
Feng Zaixing pursed his lips, somewhat fearfully saying.
"Haha, then you should work hard." Le Zhengyang looked somewhat gleeful, then added:
"Ultimate attributes have no threshold. You're not far from breaking through to Spirit Ancestor. Do you have any thoughts on your fourth spirit ring?"
The implication was whether his fourth spirit ring would continue to be the Heavenly Sacred Winged God Tiger or if he would seek a new Spirit.
A ten-thousand-year Spirit could provide four spirit rings, but a Genius like Feng Zaixing would generally fuse with a new existence to gain new power.
"Of course, I have an idea—"
Feng Zaixing stroked his chin and asked, "How is that little Behemoth you asked me to gather resources to revive?"
"It's fine now. The little thing is an extraterrestrial species, truly extraordinary."
"It was sealed by my Family's ancestor with the roots of the Everlasting Life Vine and then imbued with the sacred Qi of the Angel God Sword during its recovery. Now it seems to have undergone some mutation, developing sacred fluctuations."
Le Zhengyang changed the subject, "However, I can't tell what its age is. Are you interested in it?"
"Age doesn't matter. If it's low, it can enter the Spirit Ascension Platform. Such a rare species is hard to find."
Feng Zaixing smiled, "Let's go. First, to Donghai City to say goodbye to some friends, then to Heaven Dou City to abduct people."
"Heh heh, time flies mercilessly. You have a lot to do."
Le Zhengyang strode like the clouds, taking Feng Zaixing through the air.
"Have you thought of a name for your new Domain?"
"I have. Ha Luosa's is Underworld Rebirth. Mine, well, it's called Holy Body Heavenly Kingdom."
Shrek City, Outer Court.
The little Fatty, Xu Lizhi, walked alone on the shaded path, his head bowed, his face ashen, devoid of any light.
"Sister Xinglan, where are you now? Are you doing well—"
He murmured, missing the figure who had protected him since childhood.
The events in Tianhai City were like a nightmare. Shrek's two-thousand-year undefeated myth was shattered, Ye Xinglan's sword heart crumbled, she was abandoned by the Ye Family, and Shrek even erased her records.
The seven of them, who "still had value," returned to Shrek and were punished with "five years of tempering in the Outer Court." Various blows followed, leaving them breathless.
Suddenly, a powerful and domineering female voice rang out, and several waves of heat rushed towards him from far to near, causing him to stumble back several steps.
"You two pieces of trash who disgraced the Academy's ten-thousand-year glory, still haven't made any progress!"
Xu Lizhi looked up and saw Yan Ling and Long Yeshen surrounded by several inner court students wearing red school uniforms.
The newcomers were generally older than them. The leader was a tall, fiery, and extremely beautiful woman, around twenty years old, with dark red long hair exuding an eerie aura.
Behind the woman, a pair of dark golden wings unfurled. Her Spirit's outline was actually a Golden Crow. The waves of fire suppressed Yan Ling and Long Yeshen, leaving them helpless. Her two purple and three black spirit ring configuration clearly showed the formidable Cultivation of a Five-ring Spirit King.
"Evil Fire Golden Crow, Ma Tianzhao?" Xu Lizhi's throat trembled, and he immediately took off.
Since their defeat, inner court experts often came to cause trouble, and the Academy tacitly approved.
Whether it was because her entire Family had been exterminated by the Angel Family or genuine anger, Ma Tianzhao was the most frequent visitor, her Golden Crow Evil Fire burning them into submission.
"Sister Zhao, that little Fatty is trying to sneak away!" A inner court Genius with an Owl Spirit discovered Xu Lizhi.
Ma Tianzhao smiled coldly, "He can't run, none of these wastes who disgraced the Academy's honor can run!"
With that, she spat out a ball of dark red flames, which landed in front of Xu Lizhi.
"Sister Xinglan, I miss you so much—"
Having suffered an undeserved calamity, Xu Lizhi wanted to cry but couldn't, and his longing for Ye Xinglan deepened even further.
