The previously calm air became heavy and oppressive, as powerful mental energy tore at everything around them.
"Buzz!"
Tian Shenwei's previously disdainful expression froze instantly. The overwhelming mental energy, like a raging flood, swept over him, leaving him utterly astonished.
This was the strongest mental energy he had ever seen in his life, without exception.
The sapphire on his forehead emitted a dazzling blue light, forming a flowing protective shield that enveloped him entirely.
When Fang Xian's mental energy struck the blue shield, a deafening "crack" echoed as the shield shattered.
"Boom!"
The entire spaceship shook violently from the massive outflow of mental energy.
Tian Shenwei was directly thrown back by the impact, only managing to stop slightly after crashing into the deck.
He stared at Fang Xian in disbelief. The blue protective shield was equipment bestowed upon him by the Angel God, capable of withstanding the full-force attack of a level 1000 top-tier mage.
But…
it had actually been shattered by Fang Xian's mental energy?
How could this be?
Could it be that Fang Xian's mental power had reached the level of a top-tier mage in that last attack?
He just didn't know that it was only 1/10 of Fang Xian's mental power; otherwise, he would have been dead already.
Bai Lengshen's face was extremely ugly. He had been completely humiliated by Tian Shenwei's glare, and now, Fang Xian's glare had left Tian Shenwei utterly disheveled.
Fang Xian's actions created a stark contrast; well, he'd become the clown.
He'd lost all face.
Guangze Mi frowned, still shaken. Luckily, he hadn't acted arrogantly; otherwise, he would have been the one to lose face.
Indeed, one doesn't hit a smiling face; his smile just now—was worth it.
Zhu Yanbing's eyes sparkled like stars, her admiration undisguised, every inch of her gaze fixed on Fang Xian.
Her cheeks flushed with excitement, completely absorbed in Fang Xian's power, unable to tear herself away, like a devout believer gazing upon their god.
The Angel and Light Elf races, witnessing Fang Xian's strength for the first time, were utterly shocked.
The third-ranked on the "Genius Ranking," the strongest prodigy of the Angel race in this era, had been defeated by a human with a single glance?
What would become of this if word got out?
The Cat Demon race was overjoyed at this sight. Fang Xian was their patriarch; the stronger he became, the more prosperous they would be.
The members of Snake Island and the Dragon Alliance, however, remained much calmer. They had seen many grand spectacle from Fang Xian and were immune to this small-scale affair.
In fact, they had already begun to chuckle when Tian Shenwei started showing off.
Guangya, Feng Yuxi, and Ye Li were equally calm, completely unfazed.
The newly joined Tian Yanyan, Qian Yuxue, and Bai Youjing gazed at Fang Xian with adoration, their lips unconsciously curving upwards in sweet, reverent smiles.
This was their man, the true strongest on the "Genius Ranking."
...
Fang Xian's eyes swept over the world, a slight smile playing on his lips.
"Your Highness Shenwei, are you alright?"
Tian Shenwei stared intently at Fang Xian, slowly rising without a word. He turned and picked up a chair, sitting down silently.
No one dared approach him; none wanted to invite trouble while he was in such a foul mood.
Fang Xian nodded in satisfaction. Sure enough, some people were just asking for trouble; only a good beating would make them behave.
Following him, the Water Elf Clan, Earth Elf Clan, Music Elf Clan, Flower Fairy Clan, and other races arrived one after another.
Their representatives had all learned of Fang Xian's identity from their elders, and each one held him in high esteem.
Fang Xian naturally gave them a warm welcome; these were all his ideal "temporary contract partners."
After they were seated, two more warships flew in from the sky.
The two warships resembled enormous Kunpeng (a mythical bird), gleaming with a deep blue light.
Various runes were carved on them, flowing with mysterious power, shining like stars.
Both warships bore a golden "Emperor" character on their flags, clearly belonging to the Human Emperor Clan.
Standing on the decks were a man and a woman; the man was none other than the Human Emperor's son, ranked 12th on the "Genius Ranking"—
—Dongfang Cangjue.
He was dressed in pristine white, his figure as upright as a pine tree, the hem of his robes fluttering gently in the wind.
His face was handsome, with sword-like eyebrows, bright eyes, a high nose bridge, and deep, mysterious eyes like a still pool.
Standing on another warship was the Empress's daughter, ranked second only to Bai Youjing on the "Genius Ranking"
—Dongfang Shen'er.
She wore a purple-gold crown, adorned with shimmering jewels like twinkling stars.
The purple-gold hue shimmered with a noble light in the sunlight, contrasting beautifully with her fair skin.
A magnificent robe draped her body, embroidered with exquisite patterns, gold and silver threads interwoven to create beautiful designs.
She was like a fairy stepping out of an ancient painting, radiating an irresistible charm.
Fang Xian cast "Eye of Insight" on Dongfang Shen'er.

This is the Human Emperor Clan?
From the outside, the Human Emperor Clan is no different from ordinary humans, except that their temperament is much more noble.
Perhaps it's also because their clothing, which leans towards ancient royalty, makes them appear solemn.
Dongfang Cangjue and Dongfang Shen'er landed slowly, attracting the attention of the Dragon Alliance members.
As fellow humans, the Human Emperor Clan is naturally the object of admiration for all humans.
Dongfang Cangjue walked with elegant steps, greeting the geniuses present as he went.
He is a top-tier existence among humans, but he is still slightly inferior to Tian Shenwei, Tian Yanyan, Guangze Mi, Bai Lengshen, and Guangya.
Even Qian Yuxue, who was second only to him, might not necessarily be weaker than Dongfang Cangjue in terms of strength. After all, Dongfang Cangjue had the advantage of being a prince, so his ranking was naturally slightly higher than Qian Yuxue's.
With so many geniuses present sitting obediently, Dongfang Cangjue wasn't stupid; he could naturally see through the situation.
Especially Tian Shenwei, ranked third, who was always arrogant, was now sitting obediently, which meant he must have been severely beaten.
Originally, Dongfang Cangjue hadn't planned to come, as the veracity of the information was questionable. However, considering the large number of geniuses present and the rarity of the "golden pillar of light," he decided to come and try his luck.
Now it seemed he hadn't made a mistake in coming, and he couldn't help but become quite interested in Fang Xian, who sat in the main seat.
Such a person is definitely worth befriending.
Fortunately, he brought his younger sister, Dongfang Shen'er, the most beautiful woman of the current Human Emperor Clan, with him.
If things don't go smoothly, he can always use his beauty to seduce her; he'll surely win Fang Xian over then.
Having made up his mind, he looked at Dongfang Shen'er and gave her a meaningful smile.
