Chapter 1090: Chapter 52: Failure
Tang Haofei is valiant and powerful, even invincible in the world.
However, this doesn’t change one fact——Tang Haofei is merely a pure Martial Artist.
This is the same with Wen Yu, who is also just a pure Martial Artist, but this is not a derogatory term. Both of them have devoted their time and energy to improving themselves, and the fact has proven that formidable strength can indeed crush all problems head-on. However, some trivial matters cannot be resolved by sheer strength alone.
For example, the Eternal Sky City.
After the first Sequence Member-Ranking Battle, Tang Haofei acquired the Eternal Sky City, and afterwards, he never bothered with this great weapon.
A city, a flying city nonetheless. It sounds nice, but not even mentioning the amount of energy and capability required to manage a city, what’s the use even if Tang Haofei managed the Eternal Sky City well? Can it enhance physical fitness, or help you fight (nowadays it indeed can, but nobody thought of this back then)?
For a Martial Artist, even a city is not as important as enhancing one’s own abilities! The same applies to Wen Yu. If the Dominator gave the Eternal Sky City to Wen Yu, he would treat it merely as a place to stay, or even exchange it with the military for some good items...
Things that are useless to self-improvement are considered waste by Wen Yu and Tang Haofei!
Thus, Tang Haofei decisively handed the management of the Eternal Sky City to Lin Haifeng at that time, along with all its permissions. This was considered maximizing benefits back then, since Tang Haofei couldn’t manage the Eternal Sky City well, entrusting Lin Haifeng with it was certainly the wise choice.
And indeed, that’s the case. The fact that Yanjing is so prominent today, the Eternal Sky City has made enormous contributions.
But back then was back then, now is now. Back then, Tang Haofei and Lin Haifeng were in sync with each other, in love, but now Tang Two wishes he could pluck Lin Haifeng’s head off!
And the fact is, Tang Haofei never thought about the issue of control over the Eternal Sky City. In Tang Two’s view, the Eternal Sky City was given to him by the Dominator, so it was his, and no one could take it away, but Lin Haifeng didn’t think that way.
Once the control rights of the Eternal Sky City were in hand, Lin Haifeng, the old fox, immediately saw the great strategic significance of the Eternal Sky City. For someone with a strong desire for control, capable of thinking up the "Sequence Number 2 Control Plan," "Sea King Control Plan," "Skyray Control Plan" and even the "All Races Control Plan," keeping the Eternal Sky City in his own hands was the safest.
So Lin Haifeng avoided Tang Haofei and exploited every loophole in the Eternal Sky City——programming, artificial intelligence, and even the rune system developed later, etc., were all added to the Eternal Sky City by Lin Haifeng. When Tang Haofei was sealed, Lin Haifeng became even more blatant, and now, this contingency plan has been decisively activated by Lin Haifeng.
Facts have proven, giving something to you is one thing, whether you can hold onto it is another. Now, the Eternal Sky City bears the name Lin, not Tang...
"Insufficient permissions, failed to close the Eternal Sky City’s transmission channel."
This was the prompt that popped into Tang Two’s mind.
But things were much simpler for Lin Haifeng...
"Unknown permissions activated, application to close the Eternal Sky City’s transmission channel, has been intercepted."
Originally, the highest authority of the Eternal Sky City was in Tang Haofei’s hands, but the so-called highest authority once was long kicked off its pedestal by Lin Haifeng, and now the highest control authority of the Eternal Sky City is implanted in Lin Haifeng’s heart in the form of runes!
Therefore, the result of the struggle between Tang Two and Lin Haifeng for the Eternal Sky City is evident at a glance.
...
The Demigod just watched Tang Two sitting on the ground, stroking the soil of the Eternal Sky City, his expression growing uglier.
Until half an hour had passed, and Tang Two’s face had turned as black as the bottom of a pot, the Demigod finally shook his head.
"No, time’s up, we should leave."
Upon hearing the Demigod’s words, Ye Nan didn’t say anything and immediately walked to the Demigod’s side, preparing to retreat, whereas Tang Two seemed not to hear and continued stroking the ground.
The Demigod could only walk to Tang Haofei’s side and pat him on the shoulder.
"We really should go, Wen Yu is about to return."
"Let him return if he wants, I’ll get back what’s mine no matter what!"
Embarrassed by Lin Haifeng, Tang Two felt that he had to reclaim the Eternal Sky City no matter what.
The stubbornness of Tang Two made the Demigod very distressed, although from the time calculations, Wen Yu would need nearly another half an hour to leave the Heavenly Palace, but withdrawing as a group also takes time, and now this moment is stuck at an awkward time. To be safe, the Demigod feels it’s necessary to reason with Tang Haofei.
"I wasn’t joking with you earlier. Wen Yu’s strength has become very, very strong over the years, definitely capable of defeating you. You might have thought I was lying to you, but the fact is, I wasn’t. Now, I’ve temporarily diverted Wen Yu with other methods, but he’s probably already on his way back. If you don’t want to be sealed again, you’d better come with me quickly."
"In another 3 minutes, I will immediately withdraw my people from Yanjing."
Tang Haofei remained unmoved, but the voice of Tang One echoed in his mind.
"Enough, you’ve made enough fuss now. Tang Two, come back."
"I won’t..."
At this moment, Tang Two looked stubborn, like a petulant child, yet the red light in his eyes was even more intense than before.
It wasn’t just a tantrum, first stimulated by the Demigod’s words "you can’t defeat Wen Yu," followed by the seizure of the Eternal Sky City, even after sleeping for five and a half years, and becoming much calmer, these two events collectively stirred his anger.
The proud Tang Two did not allow his own failure, nor did he allow his possessions to be taken by others! In short, Tang Two was already fuming with anger and was about to do something irrational.
Fortunately, compared to Tang Two, Tang One was more reliable.
"Calm!"
The ferocious roar echoing from the heart and the serious voice of Tang One caused Tang Two to catch his breath, and then Tang One’s urgent voice sounded.
"Compose yourself, you already lost control of your temper earlier, and I just know your anger will turn into that guy’s nourishment. If you don’t want to die, you’d better get back here now!"
This simple sentence caused Tang Two to immediately hold his breath. He slowly closed his eyes, then calmed himself down, returning to his inner world.
When Tang Haofei opened his eyes again, the red light in them was gone, becoming clear and bright. Then Tang Haofei stood up and gave a light smile to the Demigod beside him.
"Let’s go."
"Can he change personalities at will..."
Seeing the smiling Tang One, the Demigod slowly narrowed his eyes.
