123: Qianfeng: So I still have a system?
The next morning, Water Binger went to Headmaster Shui Wen's office early.
Pushing open the door, her steps were a little unsteady, her face was flushed, and her cold expression seemed to have melted quite a bit, adding a touch of femininity to her every move.
Headmaster Shui Wen's eyebrows furrowed. Being several decades old, she could tell what was going on with Water Binger's actions at a glance!
"Bing'er."
"The Young Master is here. Mm~ As Dean Shui Wen said, his next target is the Star Luo Empire!" Water Binger smiled slightly, sat on the sofa, and explained Qian Feng's plan. Headmaster Shui Wen nodded, which coincided with her guess.
"I understand. The Young Master won't show himself for now. I will arrange a junior student identity for him."
"Headmaster Shui Wen, when shall we depart then?" Qian Feng smiled and pushed the door open to enter. Headmaster Shui Wen quickly stood up and cupped her hands in a salute: "Young Master!"
"No need for formalities." Qian Feng waved his hand and sat beside Water Binger. The latter naturally leaned her head on his shoulder.
After a conversation, Qian Feng learned about Davis and the others' plans. In fact, not only Water Binger would go, but more than a dozen Soul Masters of level forty or fifty also planned to go to the Star Luo Empire.
They were all Star Luo people, so it was natural for them to return to the Empire to consider their parents and siblings at home.
After some work, Headmaster Shui Wen successfully created Qian Feng's false identity, making him Water Binger's junior student—Jing Feng.
"Young Master, you must be careful on this trip. In the past two years, I have also paid attention to the situation on the Continent. The two great Empires suddenly have many powerful Soul Masters, and there must be a special reason behind it." Headmaster Shui Wen stood up, handed the roster to Qian Feng, and said with a frown.
"I naturally understand. Headmaster Shui Wen, please rest assured, I will also take care of Bing'er's safety on this trip." Qian Feng smiled slightly. Headmaster Shui Wen looked at the flushed Water Binger and nodded:
"Hehe~ During the days you weren't here, Bing'er's mind was full of cultivation. Sometimes she wouldn't eat or drink, and she would stay awake all night. Her own strength has improved very quickly!"
"Dean Shui Wen!" Water Binger bit her lower lip and glanced at Headmaster Shui Wen with some resentment.
Qian Feng's heart softened. He put his left arm around Water Binger's slender waist and said firmly: "Headmaster Shui Wen, please rest assured, Qian Feng is not a frivolous or unscrupulous person. I will definitely treat Bing'er well."
Headmaster Shui Wen's furrowed brows finally relaxed.
To be honest, she had long regarded Water Binger as her own daughter. This Qian Feng had only just arrived at the Academy and had taken Bing'er's virginity.
This made her feel a little rushed, which was why she said a few words.
Fortunately, Qian Feng's reaction was quite good. It seemed that her old bones didn't understand the passion of young people.
"Oh, right. In about half a month, Davis will send a carriage team to pick up our Academy's students." Headmaster Shui Wen nodded and said.
Qian Feng and Water Binger exchanged glances and left.
For the next half month, Qian Feng temporarily left Tianshui Academy. Although Water Binger was extremely reluctant, she also understood that he had important things to do.
The Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well, at the bottom of the pond.
The familiar stone platform. This time, the three green scales on Qian Feng's neck emitted a faint light, and the densely packed, scattered runes on the ancient stone platform also began to glow.
While Qian Feng was still wondering, a three-meter-tall golden-eyed divine general had already appeared before him.
"Teacher!"
"Hehe, Qian Feng. Old rule, you ask, I'll answer." Thunder Lord chuckled, not seeming so serious, but his voice, like a resonant bell and heavenly drum, still shook him.
"What is the use of the scales on my neck? They don't feel like Soul Bones, and there are no strange enhancements." Qian Feng shook his head, frowned, and asked.
Thunder Lord clasped his hands behind his back, looked at the three green scales on Qian Feng's neck, and a look of reminiscence actually appeared in his eyes:
"Do you think that giant flood dragon you killed truly relied entirely on that little rabbit's power to reach one hundred thousand years?"
Qian Feng shook his head, did not interrupt, and waited for Thunder Lord's answer.
"The All Heavens Divine Court was shattered, and thousands of divine objects fell into the myriad realms. Although the Douluo Continent is a lower realm, divine objects still fell here. The three green scales on your neck are one of them, and perhaps there are other divine objects, but I do not know about that."
Qian Feng lowered his head. It was the All Heavens Divine Court again...
A sense of powerlessness arose. He felt so insignificant. Just a few divine objects that fell from the Divine Court, even if they were scraps, could give the Soul Beasts and humans on the Douluo Continent powerful strength...
This contrast was frightening.
Thunder Lord chuckled: "What, are you afraid?"
Qian Feng closed his eyes and sighed, then raised his head and said firmly: "Yes, I am afraid, but what I fear is not a powerful opponent, but not being strong enough myself!"
Every word carried the sharpness of youth. Even if there were thousands of powerful enemies ahead, Qian Feng would draw his sword to face them.
"Good! As expected of the person I chose, then I will tell you more..." Thunder Lord said after a moment of silence:
"The three green scales on your neck have two major functions; firstly, they can bring you back to life; secondly, they can help you transform into a Dragon Venerable."
"Dragon Venerable... Isn't that a Soul Beast?" Qian Feng frowned and asked in confusion.
"The Douluo Continent is too insignificant. Cultivators need to integrate myriad paths. Whether you are human or dragon, it is just the integration of your own power, Qian Feng. Your perspective is too narrow. You just need to understand that as long as your original intention remains unchanged, whatever form you cultivate into..."
"...Qian Feng is still Qian Feng." Thunder Lord's figure gradually disappeared, his voice echoing in Qian Feng's ears.
"I am still me."
A flicker of realization appeared in his heart. He sat cross-legged, seemingly pondering this simplest sentence, and his Soul Power also gathered and swirled.
In the myriad Worlds, the Douluo Continent was just one of them.
Qian Feng actually knew this long ago, but with the appearance of the three green scales on his neck, he gained a deeper understanding of the vastness of the World.
Hearing about it and personally experiencing it were two different concepts.
While he was in a trance, a somewhat strange yet familiar voice sounded in his mind.

"Uh..." Qian Feng's mouth twitched. What was this? A system?
So I have a system...
Qian Feng smiled bitterly and shook his head. He had almost forgotten that he had such a cheat!
Speechless internally, he tried to communicate with the system, but again there was no response for a long time.
Forget it. Qian Feng sat down cross-legged and adjusted his Soul Power again. After learning more secrets of the myriad realms, his vision broadened considerably.
Soul Power broke through to—Level Ninety-Seven!
The spring water of the Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well immediately boiled. There was the sound of chains trembling around him, and then he shot up into the sky, the light from the three green scales slowly dimming.
He stepped into the air with his hands behind his back, raised his head, and looked at the stars in the night sky, his heart full of ambition, without the slightest fear.
Qian Feng's age was now just over eighteen and a half years old.
From the Limit Douluo achievement he promised in his childhood at the age of twenty, there was only a year and a half left!
