Chapter 488: Chapter 300: Calculation and Vigilance

"Alright!"

A crimson-gold light flashed in Yu Fei’s eyes. His voice was much deeper than usual. Tang DanDan instinctively felt something was wrong. When she turned to look, Ren Feng was standing there dumbfounded, his eyes vacant.

Ren Feng’s strength was actually quite decent. Ordinary Gang Qi Martial Artists were no match for him, and he could even hold his own for a time against a Grandmaster.

The combat class leaders of the Celestial Pride Classes at the seven major universities were generally at this level. When sent out to fight ordinary Martial Artists, defeating enemies of a higher realm was a simple matter for them.

But compared to Yu Fei, Ren Feng’s strength was far too lacking.

Any one of his techniques was more than Ren Feng could handle.

In that instant, Yu Fei had used his Pupil Technique of Soul Capturing, augmented by the sword intent of the Returning Ruins Realm Sword, to suppress Ren Feng’s soul. His newly learned Thunder Tiger Celestial Sound amplified the effect, instantly numbing Ren Feng’s soul, destabilizing his Inner Qi, and crushing his will.

About ten seconds passed before Ren Feng snapped out of it. This was only because Yu Fei hadn’t used his full strength; otherwise, he could have shattered the man’s soul and turned him into an imbecile.

Ren Feng stared at Yu Fei with an incredibly complex expression of disbelief, then gritted his teeth and said:

"You freak! How in the world do you cultivate?!"

Ren Feng was quite knowledgeable, not only because of his own talent but also thanks to his father’s guidance.

He had just been utterly defeated in every aspect—soul, will, and Inner Qi. The moment Yu Fei made his move, Ren Feng had truly sensed his opponent’s real strength.

Even with his spiritual sense clouded, Ren Feng knew he was no match for Yu Fei. But his opponent’s true strength was far more terrifying than he had perceived—it was a power as bottomless as an abyss, the slightest fraction of which could crush him.

’This is strange,’ he thought. ’Not even an eighth-realm Grandmaster could inspire this much fear in me.’

Due to Ren Feng’s enthusiastic persistence, Yu Fei had no choice but to board a chartered intercontinental flight. He had originally planned to just teleport back.

"Sigh."

Gazing at the leisurely white clouds outside the window, Yu Fei couldn’t help but sigh.

’Another day wasted!’

He was on a commercial airliner, with Martial Artists and ordinary people mixed together.

After getting off the plane, he found a restroom, and in the next second, teleported back to the Geometric Pyramid Realm.

With his Electromagnetic Induction talent, although Yu Fei didn’t know how to understand the information within the signals, he could at least locate all electronic devices, making it easy to discover the presence of cameras.

Li Mengyao wasn’t around; she had probably gone to class.

The flow of electromagnetic information on the Shenhan University campus, both in scale and quantity, was in a completely different league from Tianwen’s—the difference was at least several tens of times greater.

What was rather strange was that the source of Shenhan’s largest information flow was actually underground.

Among the information flows detected by his Electromagnetic Induction, ninety percent of Shenhan University’s information exchange points were located deep underground, and this was particularly evident in the villa district where he lived.

Yu Fei compared them one by one and discovered a difference. The information flow of the Geometric Pyramid Realm was relatively independent, contained within a ten-meter radius underground, with very little interaction with the outside world.

In contrast, the information flows from all the other smart residences pointed, without exception, toward even greater depths underground.

He made a mental note of this difference. ’After thinking it over, this must be Ye Shuping’s arrangement,’ he concluded.

’The old gentleman is quite reliable.’

Electromagnetic Induction had allowed him to perceive a much wider world, but it was only perception. It was like a person without any of the five senses who suddenly gained sight; it only served to increase his curiosity, without giving him any other way to interact with that world.

Just as the talent’s description implied, this was only a single piece of the puzzle on this path of the extraordinary.

A light flashed across the Void Clearing Mirror as Yu Fei suppressed his complex emotions. The more talents he acquired, the more questions he had. His talent-copying ability was like opening a loot box—what would he get? What kind of talent was most valuable? He had no way to judge.

If he could know the details of a person’s talent in advance, Yu Fei could be more selective. What a pity. ℯℯ𝑙.

Sinking his consciousness, he connected with a spatial anchor he had left behind. In the blink of an eye, his surroundings changed, and he found himself in the Red Sun Realm.

The nearly two-thousand-degree heat felt almost welcoming. With a single step, he appeared on the Divinity Transformation Platform.

As time passed, the temperature of the Red Sun Realm had dropped somewhat, and the altar had sunk slightly.

In three months, the Red Sun Realm would enter a dormant period. He would no longer be able to acquire the Great Sun Golden Flame as easily as he could now, so he needed to make the most of his time to cultivate.

In the Xiaoqingquan Boundary Realm, atop Huayao Mountain, stood a white jade platform ninety-nine chi high. The platform was a single, seamless piece, radiating a dense, extraordinary aura—it was crafted from high-grade jade.

A man in ornate robes sat atop the platform, playing a zither to the open air. The music was clear and ethereal, audible for miles around.

A serving woman approached with light steps and stood at the foot of the white jade platform. She bowed low and remained in that posture, waiting silently.

After a long while, the music gradually faded.

"Your Majesty, the Heavenly Patrolling Star Envoy of Yao Guang Hall requests an audience!"

The serving woman was dressed in a purple gauze outfit that faintly revealed her graceful figure. She was naturally beautiful, and her voice was like the tinkling of falling pearls.

"Permitted."

Following this, a man wearing a simple black and white Daoist robe and a mask of stars was seen riding the wind, descending like a deity.

The man landed on one side of the platform, took a few respectful steps forward, and bowed his head slightly.

"Heavenly Patrolling Star Envoy Su Wangyuan greets the Sovereign!"

Yang Jingxuan’s figure seemed to blur, and before the envoy knew it, he was standing right in front of him.

"Yao Guang Hall has only just been established and still lacks a presiding Divine Monarch. You have worked hard, Star Envoy," he said.

His voice was gentle and lofty, as if descending from the clouds.

Su Wangyuan was suddenly overcome with emotion; the exhaustion from his recent days of rushing about no longer felt so heavy.

"Sovereign, this subordinate is willing to go through fire and water for the Divine Court! I would not shrink from ten thousand deaths!"

"It is just that... I have an urgent piece of intelligence to report. That Headmaster... has taken on a new student..."
