Earlier, the people from the Heavenly Phoenix Martial Palace had already investigated Wang Dashu's background and reported it to them. As a Humble Class disciple in the suburbs of Fengming County, and with a single father by his side, his father had not been heard from for many years. How could he be acquainted with a prince like you? This question was purely asking for something to say!
"Big brother, please don't blame me for being so abrupt. I can't explain the exact reason, but the young man in front of me does seem familiar.”King Jin Xian stared at Wang Dashu and sized him up. Although he had intended to compete with the Scarlet Flame King earlier, he now truly realized that Wang Dashu was different from the rest.
"Why do you have to target me at this time?”Wang Dashu secretly cursed his bad luck, feeling that the delicious food was getting further and further away from him. Seeing that his big brother's 'good intentions' were about to go down the drain, his heart was instantly filled with unwillingness. He looked at the two kings with eyes full of resentment.
"Alright, if Second Brother continues to watch like this, Young Hero Wang will have to be on guard.”Seeing this, the Crimson Flame King spoke first to ease the awkwardness. Just now, Lin Xuan had obviously deliberately avoided too much contact with them. The current Wang Dashu was simple-minded and was preparing to guide him a little so that he could be roped in under him in the future. How could he allow King Jin Xian to get there first?
"Young hero, you don't have to be suspicious.”With that, King Jin Xian did not delay any longer and left with King Bai Ling. He had long lost interest in this banquet. If it wasn't for the fact that he had suddenly realized something when he passed by Wang Dashu, he wouldn't have stayed any longer.
A meticulous plan ended up in a fiasco. His eldest brother and fourth brother had a divine beast and a palace. His and fifth brother's gifts had simply become an accessory. In addition, the people from the Phoenix Cry Academy had no intention of participating in the struggle for the imperial power. It was useless to waste their breath. With so many important matters at hand, he didn't have the energy to chat with everyone.
"In that case, I won't disturb young hero's meal. However, as the owner of the Parasol Tree Token, he should have some understanding of the Phoenix Feather Army. If you have time in the future, please come to the Heavenly Phoenix Martial Palace and introduce your comrades to the young hero.”The Red Flame King was extremely " understanding ". He immediately bade farewell and left after stating his intentions, trying his best to avoid leaving any negative impression on Wang Dashu.
"He's finally gone!" Wang Dashu secretly rejoiced. His eyes immediately lit up as he looked at the delicious food that was still warm in front of him. His ten fingers moved together as he seized the time to comprehend the divine skills of the chef of the prince's residence.
It was already late at night. The people from the Phoenix Cry Academy had all returned to their courtyards. In front of everyone, Yu Kongbei briefly explained the matters related to the Phoenix Mirror Stage the next day, then carried Su Wangyue away. He said that he had something else to discuss, but all the disciples sighed at the "hard work" of the two elders.
Senior Brother, how's your recovery?" Feng Qianqiao was about to bid farewell to Lin Xuan and return to her room when she saw the latter's surprised expression and immediately voiced her concern.
Although he had King Qingming's primeval essence to replenish it, Lin Xuan's mental strength was greatly exhausted. According to his master's introduction just now, the Phoenix Mirror Stage competition had always been a matter of life and death. If one went on stage with hidden dangers, the consequences would be unimaginable. In the past, there were many cases of injuries and deaths.
"Big Brother…are you alright?" Seeing that Lin Xuan still remained silent, Lin Lang, who was beside him, felt worried and blamed himself. The Soul Burying Flower's poison was notorious, how could it be so easily removed? Could it be that there are still internal injuries in his body?
"This is clearly something!" The scene was quiet for a while. Wang Dashu finally could not help but take large strides forward, preparing to make a move to wake Lin Xuan up.
"Phew…Eh? A big break? What are you doing?" Lin Xuan heaved a long sigh and finally recovered from his shock. He sensed that someone was grabbing his shoulder. He immediately moved ahead of time to make the other party's movement miss. At the same time, he revealed a baffled expression.
"Junior Brother Lin, you…broke through?”Fang Yi Yi was extremely familiar with this situation, how similar was it to the scene where the two of them became acquainted after fighting? However, Lin Xuan had already completely shaken off his passive position.
"I was lucky enough to succeed.”Lin Xuan looked at everyone with a smile. He was actually unusually surprised in his heart. Ever since he started practicing the ? Enlightenment of Dharma ?, his perception of qi had become stronger and stronger. In addition to the recent series of complicated actions, it had accelerated the improvement of his proficiency, finally allowing him to break through the realm smoothly.
"So it was luck. Since that's the case, everyone should go back and rest early. It seems that I'm still too ignorant. I've never heard of luck in breaking through.”Sui He smiled lightly and turned around to leave. After his back was facing Lin Xuan, his face was filled with admiration and helplessness.
" Heaven bless us, heaven bless us…" Lin Shuo looked up at the sky and put his palms together as he kept muttering.
"Third brother, what are you doing?" Lin Huang did not know what Lin Shuo was up to.
"Second brother, you don't understand. This is a blessing secret technique. I should be lucky enough to break through later!”Lin Shuo took some time to reply and continued his "cultivation".
" Less than three months..." Although Lin Lang found it funny, his heart was filled with admiration at this moment. It had been less than three months since his eldest brother had recovered, but his cultivation had actually soared rapidly and caught up to his second brother in a short period of time.
All of this was inseparable from his outstanding talent, but in fact, how could it be separated from the hard work and persistence that he had put in for the past three years? On the surface, it seemed to be a coincidence, but he did not know that all the coincidences in the world were bound to be hidden in them.
Not long after, there were only two people left in the arena. One of them had been smiling like a flower ever since the news of breaking through was spread, causing the other to be mesmerized.
Didn't you hear Senior Sister say to stop looking?" Feng Qianqiao finally couldn't hold back her shyness, and her words enlightened the person in front of her.
"I also didn't sense any signs of returning from Junior Sister.”Lin Xuan replied with a smile, actually displaying the advantage of his realm.
"Senior Brother, are you bullying me because my realm is low?”Feng Qianqiao snapped angrily. She placed her hand on the purple-gold phoenix belt around her waist and kissed the soft sword, ready to draw it out.
"Young hero Lin…this is unforgivable!”Feng Qianqiao suddenly charged forward, her Gentle Kiss Soft Sword in her hand. In an instant, the arena was filled with sword flowers. However, all of Lin Xuan's moves had been predicted beforehand. He stood side by side with Feng Qianqiao every time, as if the two of them had agreed to admire the sword light under the moon.
"You keep talking about the Saintess. Do you know that what you're doing now is a crime of great disrespect?”Feng Qianqiao turned to look at her senior brother, who was standing close to her, holding the hilt of his sword in his hand. Her face was already red as blood.
"I'm sorry for making you worry." Lin Xuan's words were concise but sincere, directly touching the softest part of Feng Qianqiao's heart, causing her to lean slightly on his shoulder.
"Nothing must happen to the Sage Emperor's birthday this time." Feng Qianqiao said softly. It sounded like an order, but her eyes were filled with affection.
"It's already late, BenGong has to go back.”Feng Qianqiao smiled sweetly and turned to leave. If she stayed any longer, some of her bottom lines would become even harder to control.
"Thank you, Qianqiao." Lin Xuan's words came from the bottom of his heart. Ever since the Phoenix Feast, the two of them had known each other, treated each other sincerely, and entrusted their lives to each other. Their relationship had progressed rapidly but naturally. It was hard to find a confidant, and it was hard to meet a good partner. He must cherish it even more.
Feng Qianqiao stopped in her tracks and her heart trembled. This was the first time in her life that she had heard someone her age address her in such a manner. Then, he quickened his pace until he disappeared into the hazy moonlight.
Watching the beauty leave, Lin Xuan looked at the night sky. The beautiful image in his mind could not be removed. He stared at it for a long time before turning around and returning. He didn't know that a ball of heavenly fire had suddenly appeared at the spot he was looking at, coincidentally sweeping across the bright moon.
The next morning, everyone from the Phoenix Cry Academy gathered together. They left the Purple Solitary Mansion and headed towards the Phoenix Mirror Stage in the center of the Imperial Capital.
"I hereby announce the Principal's decree. All disciples of the academy are listening! Everything on this trip was to put their lives first! If you encounter a dangerous situation, you can voluntarily give up. You must not fight to the death for the immediate benefits or the reputation of the academy! When you return, you must be in good order and not be missing a single person!”Yu Kongbei finished reading aloud, but at the same time, everyone was moved and their blood boiled.
"The basic rules of the Phoenix Mirror Stage have already been explained yesterday. Everyone must act according to your ability and try not to apply for a cross-border battle!”Yu Kongbei gave his last warning, but he turned his gaze to the disciples who were on the verge of breaking through, such as Fang Henwan, Feng Qianqiao, Wang Dashu, Lin Shuo, and others.
The battle on the Phoenix Mirror Stage wasn't like sparring in the academy. Other than confirming the opponent's realm, the rest of the information could only be verified when they went up on stage. In the past, many people did not even know who the murderer was until they died in battle. This was because the contestants only had the corresponding number plate as proof, and the rest of the relevant situations were controlled by the royal family. After all, there was no power in the dynasty that was strong enough to make the royal family compromise, unless the latter did it intentionally.
In a situation where their strength was unknown, even if the Phoenix Cry Academy's disciples were extremely talented, they did not dare to act too rashly. Cross-realm battles were not easy, but from a rational point of view, cross-realm battles should be avoided. Even someone as strong as Lin Xuan had a hard time defeating Fang Yi Yi, let alone others.
