Chapter 516: Chapter 7: Water God Yu Jiang: Has the World Changed?
Mu Qing felt a subtle pressure upon seeing Shen Fei’s Summoned Beast.
Indeed, the harvest from the Ancient Secret Realm was immense.
Earlier, she naturally didn’t doubt that Shen Fei already possessed the strength to compete against her, perhaps even suppress her.
But now.
She felt she couldn’t last a single round against Shen Fei.
"Commander Mu."
Shen Fei said with a smile, gradually returning from the surreal feelings of the Ancient Secret Realm to reality.
"Shall we proceed?"
Mu Qing nodded, as the two walked side by side into the military district. Mu Qing asked anxiously, "Are you confident?"
If he wasn’t confident, and if they were to be dragged into a prolonged battle, unforeseen incidents might occur.
"Rest assured."
Shen Fei smiled; with his current strength, the Drought Fiend could withstand a hundred rounds before him.
That would make her this "Big Thumb."
"Alright, I will inform the Water God then."
Mu Qing nodded, and a stone appeared in her hand. After holding it still for a moment, she crushed it.
"Meng Zhengguo spoke to me. Are you really confident?"
A voice suddenly emerged in the air, belonging to Yu Jiang.
On the way here, Shen Fei also informed Meng Zhengguo since there was a Tier Ten guarding the place.
Even if he was confident, the other Tier Ten might not believe him.
Youthful arrogance, claiming he could slash Tier Ten.
If provoked and unable to defeat the enemy, would they need the Tier Ten guardians to rescue him?
Not everyone treats Shen Fei like Luo Ran, considering him as a cherished grandson.
If not for Shen Fei’s past achievements giving Meng Zhengguo confidence, he might not have agreed to let Shen Fei proceed to kill the Drought Fiend.
It was only because Shen Fei stated that it was his Second Transformation task that Meng Zhengguo agreed.
The Blue Star Heavenly Dao’s transformation task would not be a suicidal mission.
At most, it would be close to the upper limits of your current strength, which is why Blue Star Heavenly Dao could assign such a transformation task to Shen Fei.
It indicates that under Blue Star Heavenly Dao’s assessment, Shen Fei is capable of slaying the Drought Fiend.
Just a matter of being a bit laborious.
"Rest assured, senior."
"Then come in, but if you can’t kill it, I won’t rescue you.
Humans must pay a price for their arrogance."
Yu Jiang’s voice carried a hint of coldness, though he indeed had faith in Shen Fei, given Shen Fei’s Tier Five sweep through the Corpse Stiff Abyss originally.
Even these current Tier Ten individuals did not achieve such impressive feats in their youth, they suppressed their peers until they couldn’t lift their heads.
But it doesn’t mean they could wipe the slate clean for the conceited juniors forever; if they misjudge their own power and that of their enemies, even if they didn’t die there, they might die elsewhere.
Must these Tier Ten individuals act like babysitters, protecting Shen Fei?
They wish to have a leader or a hope aiding Wu Xia to break free from adversity.
Rather than nurturing a giant infant afraid of melting when held too delicately.
"Alright, senior, please keep an eye."
Shen Fei nodded, Mu Qing said, "You go in for a moment on your own, I have tasks to attend to."
"Mm."
...
"Sigh~ the Abyssal Breath." Shen Fei sniffed the faint scent of sulfur mixed with smoke.
It felt as if a long time had passed.
Moments later.
The Jasper Pool casually arranged into a formation, directly entering the highest layer of the Corpse Stiff Abyss, and Shen Fei saw a figure sitting cross-legged in the Void.
Surrendering to waves like the boundless ocean, countless roars of torrents filled the air, and that figure was the ocean.
Shen Fei glanced around the fifth layer of the Corpse Stiff Abyss, finding it not much different from the previous four layers.
Except the abyssal breath was far denser now, however, Shen Fei had begun comprehending the Laws.
Discovering the abyssal breath, somewhat similar to the Laws, yet superior.
’Abyssal Dao?’
Shen Fei speculated, if many Abysses harbor colossal beings behind them.
Then the abyssal breath was rather akin to higher-level powers than the Laws.
"Have you arrived?"
The figure in the Void wore a blue robe, with a handsome yet stern face.
If one didn’t know he was Tier Ten.
Looked just like a freshman in college.
Then Yu Jiang’s gaze fell on the numerous Summoned Beasts beside Shen Fei, raising his eyebrows.
"They all comprehend Laws?"
Yu Jiang was shocked, had safeguarding the area for so long trapped him?
Has the world outside changed now?
Was comprehending the Laws that simple nowadays? He knew most of Luo Ran’s Summoned Beasts were still legends.
Only two were of Mythical Quality.
The rest were merely pseudo-mythical, relying on the bond between Blue Star Celestial Summoner and the Summoned Beast to forcibly elevate the Summoned Beast’s Level to Tier Ten.
But they weren’t truly Tier Ten.
The difference between Tier Ten and Tier Nine is whether one has mastered the Laws.
Even if forcibly elevated to Tier Ten.
With the same physical qualities, without mastering the Laws, it was like holding unpolished minerals.
Mastery of the Laws equates to divine weaponry, the destructive power significantly differs.
But.
Shen Fei’s Summoned Beasts surprisingly all mastered the Laws, no wonder he confidently arrived to slay the Drought Fiend.
"It appears you truly have confidence." Yu Jiang withdrew his gaze, realizing indeed he was aging, unaware such an individual like Shen Fei arose in this era.
No wonder Meng Zhengguo treats him like a treasure.
He suddenly recalled news from the aristocratic families recently, that even those families ever keen to control Wu Xia concede.
Fear of Shen Fei’s influence.
"Go ahead."
Yu Jiang didn’t posture as a senior, pointing towards the extremely conspicuous aura, saying, "That’s the place, but be cautious.
Her strength seems to have slightly increased recently. If not for your arrival, I might have had to seek Meng Zhengguo’s assistance."
"Understood."
Shen Fei nodded, looking at the Saintess and others, the Saintess stepping forward, her aura exploding fiercely in the next moment, enveloped by the Divine Light, diverse phenomena arising.
From Lix Mountain Empress to Lix Mountain Saintess, her appearance unchanged, yet her brows bore a diamond-shaped mark.
Enhancing her exquisite and radiant countenance.
Reduced in dominance, increased in sanctity.
The robe draped on her transformed from resembling an imperial robe to an inner white robe, embroidered outer robe with golden patterns, resembling Lix Mountain’s image, the entire Lix Mountain portrayed on her Magic Robe.
’Lix Mountain Old Mother descends!’
Suddenly.
The Saintess charged at the Drought Fiend, accompanied by Calamity Shennong, Profound Lady, True Martial, and Sword-Cutting Immortal.
"I’ll handle her, you cover me!"
The Saintess’ calm voice resonated, and the others nodded, naturally not daring to defy Big Sister’s command.
Yu Jiang looked at Shen Fei still in place, "You’re not joining?"
Even if a Summoner has Summoned Beasts, at least when facing formidable foes, the Summoner needs to enhance the Summoned Beasts.
"I don’t need to."
Earlier, perhaps I did, but now that "Close But Far Away" has evolved to Mythical, it directly enables enhancing Skills on the Summoned Beasts.
"Hmm?"
Yu Jiang’s expression turned puzzled, has the version of Summoner somehow changed now?
