89: Treat them as they treat you.

After Quicksand Technique and Gravity Crystal proved ineffective against the Four-winged Celestial Moth Beast, Chen Fei released all of his hundred-plus Third-level Beasts to give chase, while he fought and retreated.

The result of this was that Chen Fei himself was left without any Yao Beasts to protect him.

The people in the outside world felt their hearts tighten once again; they saw that this Four-winged Celestial Moth Beast had adopted the same combat method.

Over a thousand small moths rushed forward and, the moment they drew near Chen Fei, they rapidly self-detonated.

"They self-detonated again! This kind of monster is too ruthless! I wonder if Big Shot Chen Fei is okay?"

"They have to be ruthless; this is a life-and-death struggle, not like the previous matches."

"When encountering Evil Beasts, it's either you die or I live. Having a 'Saint Mother' heart will only get you killed!"

"Huh, Big Shot Chen Fei wasn't teleported out. Does that mean he's okay!?"

Just as they were waiting for the smoke and dust to clear, they heard a second explosion from the screen.

Everyone was a bit confused. What caused this second explosion?

They all widened their eyes, wanting to see clearly what exactly was happening inside.

When the smoke and dust finally cleared, everyone saw the Four-winged Celestial Moth Beast kneeling on the ground. Its two antennae were broken, only one of its four wings remained, and its body was battered and broken—it was on the verge of death.

"What? What? What? What on earth happened?"

"Holy crap, what brilliant scene did I miss?"

"Did anyone see clearly how Big Shot Chen Fei do it? This is just too awesome!"

"Over here, over here! Another camera happened to capture it..."

It turned out!

Chen Fei had deliberately sent out the group of Third-level Beasts, feigning a weakness by leaving himself without any Yao Beast protection.

At the moment before the small moths self-detonated, Chen Fei used Crystal Shuttle to transfer to another location.

And the place where he appeared was right behind the Four-winged Celestial Moth Beast.

The Four-winged Celestial Moth Beast saw Chen Fei get caught in the explosion, so it slowed its pace, wanting to see the outcome.

And this gave Wu Yun and Chi Yu their chance.

At the same time, by utilizing the crystal transfer, the interval before the camera could capture Chen Fei's image again was enough for Chi Yu to make a move.

Everything had been calculated, just waiting for the Four-winged Celestial Moth Beast to take the bait.

Wu Yun's Curse of Silence was the opening move, specifically to prevent the Four-winged Celestial Moth Beast from using Flesh Transfer.

Then, Quicksand Technique followed up to fix its body in place.

Immediately after, Chi Yu's Soul Stripping was powerfully unleashed, blasting the Four-winged Celestial Moth Beast's Soul out of its body.

Soul-Suppressing Cage was thrown out next!

After these two moves, Chi Yu shrank back again, just as the camera captured Chen Fei.

The Four-winged Celestial Moth Beast was hard-controlled by Chi Yu for several seconds, which was enough for Chen Fei to take action.

Several Third-level Rank 6 and Rank 7 parasitic Yao Beasts were sent out by Chen Fei, surrounding the Four-winged Celestial Moth Beast.

They were all B-rank; it wouldn't be too heart-wrenching if they self-detonated.

Feeling it wasn't enough, Chen Fei added a thousand Third Generation Gu Worms.

Everyone saw Chen Fei on the screen raising his middle finger at the Four-winged Celestial Moth Beast:

"It is impolite not to return a favor in kind!"

With a single command.

The Yao Beasts and Gu worms surrounding the Four-winged Celestial Moth Beast self-detonated.

This was the entire process behind the second explosion heard by the people outside.

Afterward, they saw Wu Yun deliver the final blow to the Four-winged Celestial Moth Beast, completely smashing its body.

The people in the outside world were instantly exhilarated:

"Ahhh! So cool! It just has to be Big Shot Chen Fei!"

"Hahaha! Giving it a taste of its own medicine! If you moths can self-detonate, so can Big Shot Chen Fei's Gu worms!"

"Only the Insect Race, with so many offspring, would dare to self-detonate like this!"

"That's for sure. Try letting a Crimson Spirit Divine Crow self-detonate; you'd be heartbroken to death."

"So, for those with the ability to pay-to-win, you really should raise insects."

"If nothing else, this self-detonation is invincible!"

"..."

Hearing their discussion, the military big shots felt a headache once again.

The tone of the conversation was being led further and further astray!

Self-detonation is a last resort, not something to be used in every battle, hey... The City Lord of the Imperial City watched the scene of the Four-winged Celestial Moth Beast's death, remaining silent for a long time.

His vision was much higher than that of ordinary people.

While the Four-winged Celestial Moth Beast was motionless, he saw that Chen Fei had used other means; they just weren't filmed, as Chen Fei had hidden them well.

However, Nangong Xingchen had failed to take down the Third-level Rank 7 Four-winged Celestial Moth Beast.

Yet Chen Fei had forcefully killed a Third-level Rank 8 Four-winged Celestial Moth Beast.

This comparison already spoke volumes.

This little fellow might even be hiding more tricks up his sleeve.

"As expected, Little Su didn't lie to me. This little fellow can hide things even better than I imagined."

That's right!

The City Lord of the Imperial City was none other than the war god of the human race, Tuoba Zhiyuan.

He had been following the Hundred Cities Tournament and, of course, knew about Chen Fei's situation.

Especially after receiving Su Shanhai's phone call, he had developed some interest in Chen Fei.

Today's Four-winged Celestial Moth Beast was actually a test and trial he had specifically arranged.

That was why it happened to be Nangong Xingchen, He Lei, and Chen Fei.

The result was clear; Chen Fei's combat process was more seasoned, and he was the most unpredictable one.

According to Tuoba Zhiyuan's observation, Chen Fei's Royal Beasts likely possessed Peak-level skills.

But he was only a first-year student and had only been awakened for eight months.

This talent and potential both surprised and affirmed Tuoba Zhiyuan: "He is indeed worth cultivating!"

Just as Tuoba Zhiyuan was still deep in thought, he was suddenly called out to by one of his subordinates:

"City Lord Tuoba, that Chen Fei has entered the cave with the Spiritual Qi device."

Tuoba Zhiyuan glanced over and said indifferently, "Let him go. Also, intercept the footage inside; do not broadcast it to the public."

"Anyway, there's still a Fourth-level Rank 1 guardian beast there. If Chen Fei can obtain the Spiritual Qi device under these circumstances, then what's the harm in giving it to him!"

After thinking for a moment, Tuoba Zhiyuan instructed once more:

"One more thing: announce to the public that the Four-winged Celestial Moth Beast Chen Fei encountered was only Third-level Rank 6."

"If word gets out, I will personally hold those responsible..."

...Inside the Secret Realm!

Chen Fei had the Third Generation Gu Worms scout the way first, then slowly delved deeper into the karst cave.

Along the way, he didn't discover anything particularly unusual.

It wasn't until he reached the end that he discovered an underground pool.

The water in the pool wasn't ordinary water, but earth spirit crystal dew.

It contained abundant Spiritual Qi and could help water-type Yao Beasts speed up their cultivation, while also having a certain chance to improve their Aptitude.

But that wasn't the most important thing!

The most important thing was a brilliant, crystal-like object floating above the pool, like a meteor.

【innate spiritual crystal

Quality: Level Five

By feeding it Spirit Stones, Spiritual Plants, spiritual items, etc., it can return ten times the Spiritual Qi.

For example, if you feed it one Mid-Grade Spirit Stone, after 24 hours, it can return the Spiritual Qi of one High-Grade Spirit Stone.

Note: Regardless of what spiritual item is fed, it only returns Spiritual Qi in the end.

Once fed to a certain extent, it can evolve into a Level Six Innate Spiritual Source, providing a hundredfold return.】

Chen Fei's mouth watered. There was actually such a good thing?

This innate spiritual crystal paired with Breathing Earth is simply a perfect match!

As expected of the Treasure-Seeking Mouse, it could even find something this good.

"Wu Yun, move!"

Now that he was here, there was no way he would return empty-handed.

However, before Wu Yun could move, a strangely-shaped creature emerged from the pool.

Its body outline resembled that of an elegant woman, yet it was not quite the same.

Its head was similar to a Portuguese man-o'-war, with a transparent air sac filled with a pale blue liquid.

Around the air sac were delicate patterns and blue-white stripes, looking incredibly gorgeous.

Its Main Body resembled a mermaid, but without scales.

On either side of the Main Body grew several tentacles similar to those of a jellyfish, and the long, thin tentacles were covered in purple thorn-fur.
