Chapter 419 Top Powers' Meeting to Assassinate Luo Yu, All "Insiders"?_1

Ning Fengzhi and the Platinum Bishop looked at the Snow Night Emperor with surprise.

They were quite curious in their hearts.

"Who exactly is this person to receive such appreciation and high praise from Your Majesty?"

The Snow Night Emperor glanced at the crowd below and chuckled merrily.

"Appreciation?"

"You're mistaken.'

"Such a genius, I'm afraid, is beyond my qualification to appreciate."

"To put it frankly, after a few years, this person's status will definitely surpass mine; I am simply making an ally in advance."

"This individual's talent and ability far exceeds anyone I've ever seen in my life, truly unprecedented."

"Hiss—"

The Platinum Bishop took a sharp intake of breath, his eyes narrowing into slits like those of a venomous snake.

"Is Your Majesty serious? Isn't that a bit too exaggerated?"

"Even the strongest genius of our Martial Soul Hall can't even compare to one ten-thousandth of what you've described."

"Heh."

The Snow Night Emperor sneered, understanding the implication.

The Platinum Bishop's meaning was, in fact, five words.

You're talking big.

"Words are pointless, facts speak louder than words, you'll see everything once the competition ends."

The Platinum Bishop wore a look of absurdity.

Naturally, he didn't believe it; how could there be such a genius in the world?

What he couldn't figure out was the mystifying confidence on the Snow Night Emperor's face, was he not afraid of being embarrassed?

Ning Fengzhi's face showed a hint of doubt.

Initially, he thought the Snow Night Emperor was just bragging about his cherished son-in-law.

But hearing that the person mentioned by the Snow Night Emperor could play the zither and heal, this threw him into confusion.

Could his son-in-law play the zither and heal?

He hadn't heard of it.

All he knew was that he was very good at fighting.

Could it be that some force had quietly cultivated a genius to rival his son-in-law?

"May I know who Your Majesty is referring to, and which force do they belong to?"

A gleam flickered in the eyes of the Snow Night Emperor.

"Do you even have to ask?"

"He is the Heavenly King of my empire, as well as my daughter Xue Ke's man."

"Naturally, he belongs to my Tiandou Empire."

The corner of Ning Fengzhi's mouth twitched slightly.

The statement sounded definitive, but why did it feel like this old man was just trying to embellish his own face?

Next to him, Sect Master Hu Lianzhen of the Elephant Armored Sect rolled his eyes repeatedly.

He sneered inwardly.

All this boasting, only the outcome of the battle in the arena is the true measure of strength.

In the end, everyone will kneel before the team dispatched by my Elephant Armored Sect; let's see who ends up being embarrassed.

"Your Majesty, how about we make a bet?" Ning Fengzhi's eyes shimmered with a cunning light.

"On what?"

"On the outcome."

"I bet that my son-in-law will claim the top spot."

The Snow Night Emperor shook his head, "My Heavenly King of the Empire will win the championship, without a doubt."

"Good." Ning Fengzhi nodded, "If I lose, I will present the Seven Treasures Glazed Cup, the treasure of my sect, to Your Majesty."

The Snow Night Emperor's eyes lit up.

"Do you have so much confidence in your son-in-law that you're willing to wager such a treasure?"

Ning Fengzhi smiled, "Then, I wonder what Your Majesty is willing to wager."

Before the Snow Night Emperor could speak, Ning Fengzhi said:

"I remember Your Majesty has an item called the Boundless Universe Shield which has been of little use for a long time; how about we use it as the stake?"

"Ah, waiting here for me, are you?"

The Snow Night Emperor laughed and cursed, both of them were old and crafty, and he clearly understood Ning Fengzhi's intention.

"That item has already been given away by me and cannot be used for betting."

"Given away? The treasure of the empire given away?"

Ning Fengzhi's mouth hung open.

He felt an immense regret inside; he believed the Boundless Universe Shield was extraordinary and must contain great secrets about the deities.

He had wanted to win it in the bet and then give it to his son-in-law, as with Luo Yu's talent surely he could decipher its mysteries.

Yet, it turned out the Snow Night Emperor had given it away; what was the point of all his calculations now?

Ning Fengzhi had no words in his heart, wasn't this just a waste of feelings?

The Snow Night Emperor's lips curved upwards slightly, proudly saying:

"Fengzhi, stop coveting my empire's national treasure."

"The secret within has already been unraveled by the Heavenly King of my empire, and it now acknowledges him as its master."

Ning Fengzhi's eyes shone with a flicker as his heart began to doubt.

Could it be that a genius comparable to his son-in-law had truly emerged?

It seemed that he really needed to pay close attention to this competition.

In the end, the two set a wager, and the Snow Night Emperor also put forward a Star Luo Silver Phoenix Hairpin as a stake.

He turned his gaze to the broad arena in the center below.

"Boom!"

The first match had already begun.

Under the lead of Huo Wu, the Chi Fire Academy's side blazed with flames, igniting raging fire and launching an attack at the Divine Wind College opposite them.

According to the principle of mutual reinforcement and restraint of attributes, wind power would fuel the fire.

However, the wind-attribute soul skill that Feng Xiaotian displayed was otherworldly, reversing the disadvantage of his attribute and causing great trouble for Chi Fire Academy.

"Just give up, Huo Wu, your Chi Fire Academy is still no match for me,"

Feng Xiaotian's bones crackled and popped, and streams of green wind-attribute energy surged continuously from his limbs.

The phantom of a gusty Double-headed Wolf appeared behind him, his soul power aura exceptionally solid, unmatched in the entire arena.

With her delicate body covered in flames, Huo Wu's red wavy hair danced in the wind, her bright eyes coldly fixated on Feng Xiaotian.

The red flames in her hands quickly transformed into purple-black, relentlessly bombarding the Divine Wind College's formation.

"I really don't want to hurt you."

Feng Xiaotian scratched his head in frustration, then his eyes sharpened, and he let out a piercing howl.

His soul power burst forth in full force, his speed soaring more than threefold.

"Swoosh!"

A green streak of light, quick as lightning, crossed the entire field, bringing a robust gust of wind.

Huo Wu was just about to use her strongest fusion skill when she didn't anticipate Feng Xiaotian's speed to be so swift.

He had already cut through the crowd, drawing near.

"Swish!"

The wings of wind condensed behind Feng Xiaotian directly fanned Huo Wu out of the arena.

Taken aback by her unexpected loss, Huo Wushuang and the others couldn't withstand the fierce attack from Divine Wind College and were quickly defeated.

Feng Xiaotian wiped them out one by one.

"Boom!"

The audience, who had been silently watching the match, burst into excitement.

They let out cheers, celebrating Feng Xiaotian's victory.

In Soul Land, whether among the upper class or common folks, all admire the strong and venerate the powerful.

The overwhelming strength Divine Wind College displayed against Chi Fire Academy instantly earned them respect and applause.

Feng Xiaotian stood on the arena with the other six team members, basking in all the attention.

His gaze flickered over Huo Wu, then turned to stare directly at Luo Yu.

He made a shushing gesture with his hand.

The more than 100,000 spectators instantly filled with curiosity and quieted down.

A smirk crept onto Feng Xiaotian's face.

Gesturing towards Luo Yu with a hooked finger, he said leisurely:

"It's a pity I didn't get to face you in the first match."

"But never mind, I'll be waiting for you in the later matches."

"You—"

"Are you ready to accept defeat?"

The audience was puzzled; who was Feng Xiaotian challenging?

Following Feng Xiaotian's gaze, they saw Luo Yu, who was sitting in a wheelchair.

Instantly they were all stunned.

"???"

"What the heck?"

The number one talent from the Five Elements Academy specifically challenging a cripple?

Isn't that like using a cannon to kill a fly, totally unnecessary?

In the face of Feng Xiaotian's mockery, Luo Yu couldn't be bothered to respond, not even sparing him a glance.

He turned his head and kissed Huo Wu on the cheek as she stepped down from the arena.

"Losing is no big deal, just think of it as going up there to have some fun."

"Mhm."

Huo Wu obediently nodded her head, her spirits initially dampened by the defeat.

But now, her heart felt warm.

Because she could sense that although her man hadn't said anything, he probably already had plans for revenge in mind for her.
