Earth Nine
Earth Nine
Because they were friends, Han Fei didn't use the Void Lines or Flash. He wasn't afraid of a fair and square fight at all.
At this moment, blades were surging like tides. Han Fei slashed at Ning Jingyao, Ning Jingyao bombarded Wuming with the power of stars, and Wuming cut Han Fei with the light from the sky as a sword.
Boom!
Han Fei shaped a fist mark and broke the illusions of the heavenly swords with three punches. He then punched at Wuming again.
Yang Deyu was dumbfounded when he arrived. He didn't expect to see such a fierce battle.
The Punishing Saber's voice came to Yang Deyu's ears, "If you want my approval, join the fight."
Yang Deyu took a deep breath and realized that he had arrived at a bad time. However, there was no turning back anymore. He simply roared, "War God Will! I have an axe that can cut anything apart…"
The Punishing Saber hesitated inside the cottage. The visitors this time all seemed strong. Any of the four men here would've won his approval if they had come before.
But now that they had come all together, should he approve of one of them, or all of them?
If he approved one of them, wouldn't he have to wait again if the candidate didn't make it to the end?
Never mind. I'll let them pass as long as they're as strong as the man who wields an axe. Right, he'll be the reference. The following visitors who aren't as strong as him will be eliminated.
The Punishing Saber felt like it had made the best decision. It wondered if anyone could master this world. It was rather excited, for if anyone mastered this world, its rise wouldn't be far away.
BAM!
Yang Deyu was the first to fall. His face was bruised and swollen, and he had bleeding wounds all over his body.
Veins were bulging on his body. "S-Sons of b*tches, you're unbelievable!"
BAM!
Ning Jingyao was smashed into the ground, and the shape of a human was printed on the mountaintop.
Pu!
A spring of blood erupted, and Ning Jingyao rose back to his feet and looked up at the sky, before he scratched his head. "I knew his body was strong, but I didn't know it was so strong. His fists…"
"Hoooooo!"
Crack!
A dragon roar echoed, and Han Fei descended from the sky and punched Wuming, whose sword dragon was shattered by one attack.
BAM!
Wuming sank into the soil under the punch, leaving only his head exposed to the air. All his facial organs were bleeding.
Han Fei seemed as daunting as before. He was covered in blood, but that was fine. He was stuffing energy fruits into his mouth while using the Divine Healing Technique on himself.
Han Fei landed and glanced at Yang Deyu. "If you hadn't performed your strongest attack, I would've waited longer to fight you."
Yang Deyu hissed. "If I hadn't performed the attack, I would've been slain by you!"
Ning Jingyao heaved a sigh. "What a shame. I would've been strong if it were a night with stars."
Han Fei mocked, "Enough. Your body won't get any sturdier at night."
Wuming turned into a sword and threw himself out of the soil. His clothes were stained but he stood proudly. "Huh! How many waves of force do you have?"
Han Fei calculated for a moment and found that he had eight waves. But it was easy for him to borrow power and deal up to ten waves.
Inside the cottage, the Punishing Saber's cold voice came out, "Alright, all four of you have my approval. There are more tests in this world. Let's see which of you can pass all of them."
Han Fei was slightly stunned. They won the approval even though they had been crushed?
Han Fei instantly said, "Senior, may I take a peach away?"
The Punishing Saber said, "Yes."
Wuming and the others didn't know why Han Fei wanted the peach. Ning Jingyao asked in confusion, "Is it a great spiritual fruit?"
Han Fei shook his head. "No, it's just a normal spiritual fruit."
Ning Jingyao didn't believe it. He picked a peach and took it too.
Wuming had no interest in foods, so he didn't pick any.
Yang Deyu, on the other hand, had other thoughts. While Han Fei was a gourmand, why would he eat a normal spiritual fruit? There must be something more to it! So, he picked one of the peaches too.
Han Fei was lost for words. "Hey, hey, hey. Do you love peaches too?"
"Baji!"
Han Fei bit the fruit and enjoyed the flowing juice.
Yang Deyu was stunned. Did Han Fei really pick the peach to eat it? He didn't know what to say about this kid.
Ning Jingyao had a bite of the fruit too as Han Fei did. His eyes glittered, as it tasted rather good.
Han Fei said, "In that case, I'll be on my way. Don't follow me."
Yang Deyu chuckled. "Who's going to follow you?"
Ning Jingyao looked at Yang Deyu as if he were an idiot. At this moment, everybody had the same purpose. Han Fei must be going to the next senior. Was he not?
Wuming rose to the sky. "I'll be on my way too."
Ning Jingyao finished the peach quickly and threw its pit off the cliff. Then, he flew away too.
Holding the peach, Yang Deyu scratched his head and left too.
The Punishing Saber inside the cottage, on the other hand, was lost for words at the three fools.
The guy with transparent wings put the peach away after one bite. However, the other three people were different. One of them didn't pick any fruit, one of them ate the fruit and dropped its pit, and the last one held the peach like a moron. Could it really trust them?
The Punishing Saber knew Han Fei's purpose very well.
The very first thing Han Fei did after coming here was pick a fruit. Of course, it was not because he was eager to eat it, but because the peaches could only be found here, and having a fruit meant winning his approval.
It was quite smart that Han Fei had picked the fruit without even fighting. The Punishing Saber would've given him approval even if he wasn't as strong.
As for the other three fools, the Punishing Saber thought that they were too stupid.
The place became empty again, and nobody entered the cottage. Otherwise, they would be surprised to see that the Punishing Saber was not a living creature but a saber in the furnace whose flames were flickering, as if it were wondering if it had made a wrong decision.
…
Han Fei put away the peach.
A moment earlier, he punched Yang Deyu quite heavily and aggressively.
The man was different from Wuming and Ning Jingyao, who were friends of Han Fei. He was confident of defeating them and controlling this world.
However, Han Fei wasn't related to Yang Deyu at all. He had intended to kill Yang Deyu with that punch, but at the last moment, he felt scared and didn't think he should kill anyone.
His fear came from inside the cottage.
Han Fei mumbled, "The five legends don't really want anyone to die. They want more people to win their approval, so that the odds of someone mastering this world will be greater."
Han Fei was certain that the five creatures really hoped that someone could master this world, probably because they already had enough of this place and were eager to go out.
Han Fei didn't intend to go to the ocean, mainly because it was too far away. While there were rivers on the land, the legendary creature that represented water probably lived in the ocean, which better fit it.
Han Fei was going to the legendary creature that represented earth.
That place was only ten thousand kilometers from the cottage.
Han Fei had observed the painting, talked to the Tree Spirit, and fought Wuming and the others during the day. Night had already fallen, and there were only the last two hours to go until midnight.
Han Fei arrived at his destination.
He landed. There were a bunch of rabbits hiding in their lair, a rat that was digging holes, a wild cat that was peeping at him, and birds that were sleeping in their nests.
But for some reason, those creatures were just the most ordinary animals.
Han Fei didn't shout but announced telepathically, Senior, I plan to master his world. I've won the approval of the Tree Spirit, the Fire Seed, and the Punishing Saber. Here is evidence.
While talking, Han Fei took out a seed, a fire stone, and a peach that had been bitten, and let them float in midair.
Right after Han Fei said that, a steady and reassuring voice came, "Wait for two hours."
Han Fei slightly frowned. Wouldn't it be a waste of time?
However, there were six days and two hours to go, and he could afford waiting for two hours.
So, Han Fei simply lay down on the grass and stared at the starry sky. He was amazed at the strength of the Sky Opener who had established a world.
The stars still looked weird to Han Fei, who paid special attention to the star that Ren Tianfen pointed out. He gazed at it for half an hour, only to find that the star changed its color and quivered. He wondered if his eyes were deceiving him.
Exactly at this moment, a bear that had a bizarre hairstyle crawled to him. At first, Han Fei thought that it was the legendary creature, but then he realized that it was just a lazy bear.
Lazy bears were known for their messy hair, and their habit of digging out ant nests with their big claws and sucking the panicked insects.
This lazy bear was only level-21. Clearly, it couldn't be the legendary creature.
That bear moved to Han Fei and then fell asleep right next to him.
Han Fei: "???"
A moment later, a wild cat, which seemed to have realized that Han Fei wasn't a bad person, also walked close and lay down next to Han Fei. It even nuzzled Han Fei's hand.
Han Fei didn't know what to say. What a pastoral life!
Han Fei thought that this legendary creature definitely had a good temper, so he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
He was sleeping for real. It was very easy for a cultivator to sleep. All they needed to do was keep their head blank for one minute, but they would wake up immediately if any expert arrived.
At one point, Han Fei felt that a tongue was licking him. He opened his eyes and then saw a pangolin that had golden scales.
A string of data appeared in his eyes.
Earth Nine glanced at Han Fei. "Everybody was sleeping earlier. It was not the right time for conversation. We can talk now."
