283: Chapter 283 Conflict or Cooperation? Wang Fei VS Drew!

Bang!

Wang Fei stumbled back a step.

He looked at the skills unleashed by Drew and the other four in unison, his eyes grave.

This was the third conflict between their team and this group in recent days.

Compared to the previous two times, where Wang Fei and his team had easily won thanks to their Ninth-stage Planet Level strength, this time felt different.

Drew and his cohorts, with their nasty attitudes and desire to dominate part of the Dungeon, had returned home empty-handed before.

He had thought the other side would behave after that.

Originally, this Dungeon was not within the territory of Huaxia; it was a public Dungeon.

It was just that only they had the strength to explore it.

After a month or two of successful harvests, they had grown accustomed to treating this place as familiar territory.

At the very beginning, Drew had sent a team, which was discovered by Xuan Jizi.

Although they were rivals from another transcendence-grade academy, Xuan Jizi was quite tolerant.

While surprised that the other side had quietly produced a team composed entirely of planet-level powerhouses, he was not jealous.

Instead, he generously allowed the other team to enter.

However, after both sides finished exploring, perhaps due to the disparity in their harvests, someone from Drew's side jumped out and claimed that Xuan Jizi and his team had tampered with the Dungeon.

Xuan Jizi patiently explained, but was ignored.

They even clamored for Xuan Jizi to hand over a portion of the Dungeon's loot to compensate them.

This infuriated Xuan Jizi.

"You had a poor harvest, and you're blaming us?"

Under their blatant provocation, he couldn't help but strike.

Relying on his Ninth-stage Planet Level strength, he was naturally invincible.

Even then, he had deliberately held back, fearing it wouldn't be good to kill anyone.

But his kindness was mistaken for weakness by the other side.

They became even more aggressive, sending people over to harass them from time to time.

It made everyone miserable.

When fighting others, one couldn't enter the Dungeon, which truly wasted a lot of time.

Wang Fei blocked the five people from the other side by himself, letting the others go in to grind the Dungeon.

He had finally managed to help Brother Jian solve his Star Power troubles, and he wanted the team to hurry up and farm some star core fragments to report the good news to Brother Jian.

But no matter how powerful he was, he was only one person.

Although the strength of each individual in Drew's team was significantly lower than his, the entire team worked together, employing a variety of attack methods.

Plus, there were restrictions on attack effects when Professionals fought each other.

This resulted in a stalemate for a short time.

Half a day later, two more teams of over ten people appeared.

Under Drew's instruction, one team held Wang Fei back, while the other entered the Dungeon.

Wang Fei wanted to stop them, but being alone and outnumbered, he could only watch helplessly as they entered.

When Xuan Jizi and the others appeared and learned of Wang Fei's encounter, they were furious.

They simply stayed behind and continued to confront Drew.

This time, everyone stopped holding back.

Various mythical level skills were unleashed from their hands.

Various mythical level dedicated weapons were swung to their heart's content.

Under their all-out efforts, in just a single moment, several people on Drew's side fell to the ground.

He hurriedly directed his team's priest to heal them, only to find that while a few were successfully resurrected, one who had been killed by Yan Han's freezing skill could not be resurrected.

His heart skipped a beat!

The priority of the opponent's skills was quite high!

He hurriedly ordered each team to retreat, but it was too late.

Wang Fei's side pressed their advantage and pushed forward.

Seeing that the situation was dire, Drew's face turned ashen, and he shouted, "Stop, we surrender!"

Wang Fei then stopped.

Drew said with some helplessness, "Fine, you win. We'll stop fighting, okay?"

Wang Fei glared at him, "Isn't this what you started?"

Drew felt a sense of powerlessness in his heart.

These damned Huaxia people, how are they so strong!

He had intended to use the group he had cultivated recently to suppress the experts on the Huaxia side, but he hadn't expected to fall so hard.

But the facts were before him; even with more people, his combat power was still inferior to the Huaxia side.

The harassment plan had failed!

Thinking of the instructions from Lord Blood Shadow, a thought stirred in his heart.

"You must have farmed quite a lot of good things in the Dungeon, right?"

Wang Fei looked alert.

"What, you want a share?"

Drew waved his hands.

"You misunderstood. I mean, since everyone's strength is not weak, there's no need to fight. How about we exchange what we have?"

Wang Fei glanced at him.

"We did farm quite a lot of loot: star core fragments, synthesis ticket protection fragments. We even have complete star cores and complete synthesis tickets. But with your strength, what good things can you offer for trade?"

Getting the other side's reply, Drew felt relieved.

It seems they really have the goods!

These Huaxia people really have something!

He accompanied it with a smile and opened the trading function to Wang Fei.

"You probably don't have this. Take a look and see if it can be used for exchange..."

This time, Zhang Jian's Cultivation lasted for three full days.

He only stopped after failing the Fusion twice more and finally maxing out the progress of the [External Star Core Cultivation Technique], breaking through to the Major Achievement Realm in one go.

The upper limit of Star Power capacity had increased to 30%.

Both the usage time and the replacement time had changed.

However, upon reaching this Realm, the range of Fusion-capable star cores had increased to six-star level.

The [Reward of Knowledge] affix could no longer be triggered.

Even [Failure is the Mother of Success], which was only 1 progress point away, required challenging the highest difficulty to receive compensation and could no longer be activated.

In other words, Zhang Jian now had to use six-star star cores for the [External Star Core Cultivation Technique] to make these affixes effective.

But the [Heavenly Dao] synthesis method could only synthesize up to five-star star cores.

How was he supposed to get these six-star ones?

He was in a bit of a bind.

Just then, Wang Fei returned with his people.

He reported to Zhang Jian about the recent confrontation with Drew and the others, as well as the item Drew wanted to trade.

It was a mass of matter that emitted a strange light and existed between the illusory and the real.

He was holding it in his hand, studying it, when the Will of the Heavenly Dao appeared.

"This thing is problematic!"

[Water Blue]'s voice was grave. "This is not something from the Water Blue Planet; it is not produced by the System at all!"

Zhang Jian observed it with interest and asked casually, "Could it be an object from outside the heavens?"

The next moment, the divine substance in Zhang Jian's hand disappeared.

After a while, the Will of the Heavenly Dao sent back a message.

"This thing contains a high-dimensional will, which can cause mutations in the talents of Professionals. But it is very likely that after absorption, one's own Soul and will will establish a connection with certain existences, and subsequently be controlled!"

Wang Fei leaned over, clicking his tongue in wonder.

"No wonder Drew's subordinates suddenly developed a large group of people. It turns out they were all relying on this thing?"

Zhang Jian felt some regret.

"In that case, we definitely cannot use it."

"Not necessarily!"
