"Father!"
A vigorous greeting that brought a tone of arrogance and fullness was heard in the main hall of the Feng residence.
"Xuan'er, you're here!" Feng Rao's expression brightened when he saw a young man of about 23 years old enter the place, with a magnificent and arrogant bearing, a powerful aura full of vigor in his body.
Feng Xuan, the current young master and son of Feng Rao had arrived!
Another young man with an equally magnificent bearing and a look full of arrogance entered, following Feng Xuan. But this young man coming behind simply looked unscrupulously at the whole place, as if judging the quality of the place.
"Look at you nothing else, you have really exceeded the expectations of this old man of yours. You have surely increased your strength, becoming stronger than me." Feng Rao patted Feng Xuan's shoulder, showing pride and happiness on his face.
"No need to talk about trivial things." However, Feng Xuan waved his hand with a touch of arrogance as he spoke about this. Then, his arm was raised and he pointed to the young man beside him, saying to his father, "Father, this is the senior martial brother who has helped me a lot in the academy, Ji Zhen. Thanks to him, I now have an assured position as an external elder of the academy in the future." Feng Xuan blinked in the form of a signal to his father the introduce the young man to his side.
Feng Rao, quickly understanding what his son had indicated and remembering about the letter he had sent him last time, his expression became respectful and somewhat humble, saying, "It is a pleasure to meet the great young master Ji that my son had once told me about. I thank you very much for all the help you have given Xuan'er."
An External Elder of the Academy!
This is an important position and if his son succeeded, no one would dare to touch a hair of their Feng family!
Feng Rao gloweringly greeted Ji Zhen, while in his mind he thought that this was his chance!
From what Feng Xuan had told him in the last letter, Feng Rao understood that this young man should be from the Ji family!
The royal family of the imperial capital, owner of the Profound Sky Academy!
Moreover, seeing his son show equal respect to this young man, Feng Rao confirmed it. Even just by being close he could feel a slight pressure, proving that this Ji Zhen really had a higher cultivation than him.
"How do you do, Patriarch Feng."
Ji Zhen greeted with a touch of arrogance, showing superiority without showing the proper tone of respect when greeting a senior. He faintly clenched his fist together without bowing, saluting lightly.
But Feng Rao didn't mind, after all, this young man has a great backing!
"Father, senior martial brother came to witness in tomorrow's tournament. For now, I will take senior brother for a walk around the city today." Feng Xuan said.
"Xuan'er, hadn't you better rest today so that you can be full of energy for tomorrow?"
"Father, this tournament will be so easy that I won't even have the need to use my full strength." Feng Xuan showed a mocking and arrogant expression, as if he had first place won in his pocket.
"Alright, when you return your rooms will be ready to rest." Feng Rao nodded, assuring that there would be a resting place for both of them. He believed that his son had really strengthened tremendously and could easily win.
Feng Xuan walked out with Ji Zhen, disappearing from Feng Rao's sight.
"Patriarch, what shall we do about Young Master's room?" Feng Min walked over and asked with some concern.
Feng Xuan's personal courtyard was still still occupied!
"We will give another courtyard to my son for the time being. We can't come into conflict with these people, not since that young Master Wang has been chatting with those people." Feng Rao's face darkened, feeling helpless.
This morning he had cautiously gone to his son's personal courtyard which had been occupied by Ling Tian, only to realize that both Feng Xiao and Feng Ye were talking with Xuanyuan Ling and another young man, Shin Wei.
Although he had previously asked Feng Xiao for help in dealing with Xuanyuan Ling, Feng Rao could not risk being on bad terms, especially with young master Wang. He still hoped to earn a favor from them!
"And what shall we do with that kid? I still have doubts that he really is a cripple..." Feng Min said in a low voice, talking about Ling Tian.
The entire Ronchen City knew that the crippled Young Master of the Feng family had defeated the Young Master of the Simu family with a single slap!
A single, simple slap!
And he had also turned him into a cripple!
"Didn't you see it with your own eyes?"
"Yes, but with the news that he crippled Young Master Simu I no longer know if what we saw is real or fake."
"It should be fake, most likely he received help from the shadows to beat Simu Houcheng's son. That little girl with him must have helped him, most likely."
pαпdα`noνɐ1`сoМ Feng Rao shook his head. He too did not believe at first when they received the news that the supposedly crippled young master of his family had injured and knocked Simu Zhicai unconscious, making him a cripple too! But when the patriarch of the Simu family and father of Simu Zhicai, Simu Houcheng, came all angry and furious to their residence wanting to kill Ling Tian, Feng Rao finally accepted it.
The only conclusion they came to was that Ling Tian received help from that young woman who chased them away when they tried to pressure him to take his things. A cultivator at the Golden Core level could easily defeat a cultivator at the Foundation Establishment...
"Have you gotten any news about the grasses that Young Master Wang asked us for?" Feng Rao mentioned Feng Xiao's request.
"Unfortunately no." Feng Min shook his head and added, "The place where we could find there is nothing. The only answer is that it was taken long ago and the only thing we can do is wait for it to grow or get news elsewhere."
"We can't wait long, we need to get it at all costs." Feng Rao shook her head. They need the flower so they can give it to Young Master Wang! That way, grace and favor would fall on them alone!
"Patriarch!"
A shocked voice was heard instantly.
"What's wrong?" Feng Rao frowned when he saw Feng Zhi suddenly enter the hall.
"The City Lord broke through!" Feng Zhi did not hold back what he knew and exclaimed, "He has entered the Golden Core Stage!
"What?!" Feng Rao blinked in surprise before letting out a shout.
Golden Core Stage!!!
The City Lord had broken through and become more powerful!
He was only a Half-Step to Golden Core, but he had yet to officially enter this realm!
The difference in strength and power between someone Half-Step and a True one was clearly enormous!
"Has the news spread throughout the city?"
"No. One of our family's guards heard about it and quickly alerted us. It seems the City Lord plans to tell tomorrow at the tournament."
Feng Zhi reminded Feng Rao about his family's guards who were under the City Lord's charge and who guarded both the city and the Nightmare Valley.
"Looks like he sought an Essence Core Pill to breakthrough..." Feng Zhi added from what he had been informed.
"No wonder. I would have broken through too if I had the pill to break through." Feng Rao sighed.
The Essence Core Pill is used to break through and create the Golden Core!
"Let's not be alarmed. When Xuan'er becomes an External Elder of the Profound Sky Academy, we will easily have the resources to become more powerful." Feng Rao said with a bright and proud expression as he recalled what Feng Xuan had told him.
Although an External Elder doesn't carry much weight, they are still still a respected Elder in the Academy!
Feng Min and Feng Zhi nodded, imagining how prosperous and abundant their family would be in the future!
"Prepare things for tomorrow as we have planned, Simu Houcheng will most likely perform as well, so we won't be able to avoid fighting the City Lord and the other families if necessary." Feng Rao ordered and said with an arrogant expression, "Don't bother me, I will try to enter the Golden Core without the need to use a pill. That way I will become stronger."
Feng Rao showed an arrogant expression. If one could enter the next realm without the need to rely on external factors, one's strength would become deeper and more powerful.
If the City Lord could advance, then why couldn't he?
