152: I was hit
[Slapped an insolent noble youth of the Imperial Court; domineering index: three stars; charge value: 60%]
No matter how small the mosquito, meat is still meat.
Lin inflammation and Fu Ying walked into the Martial Arts Company building.
The guards' gazes swept over the two of them, and they reacted extremely quickly.
"Here to learn about Genius benefits?"
"Line up over there."
Lin inflammation slightly turned his head to look at the bustling hall, but did not speak.
"Presumptuous," Fu Ying shouted coldly. "His Highness is the Star Patrol Envoy of the Eastern Region, Lin inflammation. Lead the way immediately."
The expressions of several guards froze, and panic instantly appeared on their faces.
"Star Envoy!"
"This lowly one failed to recognize your greatness; the exchange meeting is inside."
"Please!"
With that said,
they immediately turned around to lead the way.
"Your Highness," Fu Ying said in a low voice, "the guts of these trash are far too large."
The personnel guarding the door didn't recognize the guests of the exchange meeting?
He wouldn't believe it even if he were beaten to death.
So there was only one possibility.
They intentionally kept them in the dark because they wanted to see Lin inflammation make a fool of himself.
Lin inflammation withdrew his gaze from the hall and gave a light chuckle.
"Compared to the great gift we sent, these are just some petty tricks that can't be brought to the table."
"There's no need to make things difficult for a few ignorant personnel who were thrown out to take the blame."
He stepped forward and slowly followed.
"Come, let's go see exactly what kind of clowns they are."
...Eighty-eighth floor, inside a side room of a dedicated banquet hall spanning tens of thousands of square meters.
Four young figures sitting in different seats were talking and laughing.
"Brother Chang, Brother Heng, Sister Lan, I didn't expect we would actually have the chance to work together in the same star river."
"Haha."
"In such a competitive era of prosperity, how could His Highness forget us?"
"Indeed!"
"Over a hundred years ago, His Highness became a King Rank Star Patrol Envoy and fought across various regions; we only grew because of his cultivation and guidance."
"In the blink of an eye, not only has His Highness attained the Rank of Venerable and become a terrifying Prodigy of the pseudo domain level,"
"but everyone has also grown up in their own right."
"We can finally gather together again."
Speaking of which,
one of them looked at the white-clothed youth sitting in the main seat with a smile, his tone full of envy.
"Brother Xiangyang has also become a Star River Rank Prodigy with eighth-rank Late Stage cultivation; you'll be able to obtain a King Title soon, right?"
Wei Xiangyang smiled.
"Obtaining a King Title is not that easy."
"King Rank Invincible is easy enough to say, but to fight a Venerable Rank..."
He looked at the quiet and elegant woman sitting to his lower left.
"I estimate that until Sister Lan removes the 'pseudo' from pseudo Star River, I'm still far from it."
Immediately,
the two youths on the other side looked over.
"True."
"Back then, His Highness only obtained a King Title with ninth-rank Early Stage cultivation plus an entry-level Star Shaking Martial Skill."
"Speaking of which, Sister Wen Lan should be confident enough to start the rank-up trial, right?"
Facing the three gazes, Wen Lan gave a polite smile.
"Still a little bit short."
"After another Martial Skill reaches Peak, it should be about time."
She paused.
"Brother Lu Chang and Brother Rong Heng, you two need to work hard."
"The ones who followed His Highness here this time aren't just the four of us."
Lu Chang and Rong Heng looked at each other, both showing a trace of a bitter smile on their faces.
Wei Xiangyang also became a bit more serious.
"Sister Lan is right."
"Whether it's us who have arrived at the Sixth Star River, or the brothers and sisters on their way to the other four star rivers, although we seem to be the strongest now,"
"in the realm competition, His Highness is fundamentally at a disadvantage."
"So we cannot let him worry."
As his voice fell,
the expressions of the several people in the room immediately became solemn.
Wei Xiangyang was very right.
Their arrival was an arrangement made based on the current situation.
The other four great forces weren't fools either; once a disadvantage appeared, they would certainly make changes.
Therefore, the temporary strength was all an illusion.
Finding ways to accelerate growth during this period was the key.
Otherwise,
being kicked out dejectedly would be a minor matter; if one's martial dao heart was shaken, then the entire person would be ruined.
This was the cruelty of the realm competition; as long as one entered, no one could be spared.
"Right."
Wei Xiangyang spoke in a deep voice.
"You've all read the information about that Lin inflammation, right?"
The three people below looked at each other and nodded simultaneously.
"We've seen it."
Lu Chang pondered slightly, "As soon as I arrived, I received news that he caused quite a stir in the Eastern Region."
Rong Heng nodded, "I heard about it too; he crushed those two from the Military Alliance and the Supreme Academy in the Central Region."
"It wasn't just the Central Region," Wen Lan added. "Two people also went to the Southern Region; one was beaten into a cripple, and the other didn't dare to move."
"Our newly-risen Realm Prodigy didn't hold back at all."
"The fact that there's such a heated scene now is even more so his handiwork."
Seeing the three of them finish, Wei Xiangyang then continued.
"Yes."
"Since we chose to follow His Highness, and he had us come over immediately, you all understand the situation."
"I won't say anything redundant."
"He will be coming to the exchange meeting tonight."
"Find an opportunity to dampen his arrogance."
Wen Lan's eyes flickered.
"This matter can probably only be done by Brother Xiangyang and me."
"I've watched the battle replays."
"Although that Lin inflammation is arrogant, he is a Domain Level after all; he still has some strength."
Lu Chang and Rong Heng looked at each other, consciously refraining from acting beyond their capabilities.
Clearly, they had also seen the replays and were very aware of their own Star Level cross-Rank combat power at seventh-rank Late Stage cultivation.
Wei Xiangyang's face was full of confidence.
"If he dares to choose to make a move at this time,"
"I will definitely let him know that the so-called Star Level—Star River Rank—Domain Level Rank is just a cross-Rank standard, and cannot represent the height of his cultivation!"
"fifth-rank Early Stage."
"He's still too weak."
Wen Lan smiled faintly.
Never mind Wei Xiangyang, as someone with eighth-rank Early Stage cultivation, she also possessed absolute confidence.
She even had an imperceptible flicker of anticipation in the depths of her eyes.
Domain Level!
If she could take him down a notch at this time, it would definitely accelerate the time for her to promote to Star River Rank!
"Alright." Wei Xiangyang stood up. "It's about time, let's go out and prepare..."
Before his voice could fade,
an old man walked in with a solemn expression.
"Star Envoy."
"A major event has occurred."
Wei Xiangyang narrowed his eyes.
"Speak."
The old man didn't dare to delay.
"Just now."
"The only son of Duke Yan of the Tianqi Imperial Court, who was preparing to attend the exchange meeting, was beaten by a Youth in Black at the restaurant across the street."
"The scene was a mess, and Duke Yan's only son, Yan Nan, was directly beaten unconscious."
"Furthermore, Marquis Shen's only daughter, Shen Ling, was also at the scene."
The eyes of the four people in the room narrowed simultaneously.
Wei Xiangyang immediately spoke.
"Who beat him?"
Normally, if someone was beaten, they were beaten; as long as it wasn't them, they would just treat it as watching a show.
Of course, if it involved the other four families, they would even clap and cheer.
But the old man's demeanor gave him a bad premonition.
Black clothes... youth... "The Star Patrol Envoy of the Eastern Region, Lord Lin inflammation."
As the old man's voice fell,
Wei Xiangyang's body swayed slightly.
The other three sprang up from their seats with a 'whoosh'.
