**Chapter 1507: I'll Teach Him How to Behave**

Outside the house, by the lake, there was a small pavilion where one could enjoy the beautiful scenery of the lake. Lin Moyu did not enter the house but sat down in the pavilion. He took out a tea set and started brewing tea. Although the tea was not as good as Dao Tea, it was still top-quality tea, obtained from Zhu Qiwudi's place.

Since entering the Great World, it was rare to enjoy such a peaceful time. He pondered over what Xu Xiuxiu had just said. From her words, he could sense the domineering nature of the Human Emperor Network. More accurately, it was the domineering nature of the rule-makers. They allowed opinions but did not permit them to be voiced. The rule-makers were undoubtedly significant figures, beings at the Beyond the Shore level. They were telling everyone that they were not qualified to voice their opinions. They could only follow the rules set by them, even if they were somewhat unfair. Because that was the power of strength.

Lin Moyu liked to analyze, magnifying details to see deeper truths. However, not everyone could understand such truths. At least, people like Dongfang Ze could not understand. Dongfang Ze was not stupid; a fool could not cultivate to the level of a small God Sovereign. But he was also foolish, cutting off his future for some petty gains, not even realizing it until it was too late. When Lin Lao asked for opinions, no one else spoke, but he alone had an opinion. This also showed his narrow perspective. Lin Moyu did not take him seriously at all. In Lin Moyu's eyes, Xu Jianxing was much stronger than Dongfang Ze. Xu Jianxing only lacked time, and eventually, he would go further.

Lin Moyu believed in his judgment. Footsteps sounded, and someone approached from afar. Lin Moyu sensed a familiar aura and smiled slightly, "Brother Zhuang, Brother Chu." His voice floated out, reaching the ears of Zhuang Bi and Chu Xiong.

Chu Xiong was burly, like a bear. Zhuang Bi was neither short nor thin, with an extraordinary demeanor, but standing next to Chu Xiong, he looked like a small bird beside a beast, exceptionally small. Chu Xiong's voice arrived before he did, "Junior Brother Lin, you finally arrived!" Lin Moyu smiled, "The tea is just brewed, come and have some."

Zhuang Bi smelled the tea and showed some surprise, "Is this Enlightenment Tea?" Lin Moyu smiled, "Green Fire Enlightenment Tea, Brother Zhuang is indeed knowledgeable." Zhuang Bi said in a deep voice, "This is something only God Sovereigns can enjoy. I didn't expect Junior Brother Lin to obtain it." Enlightenment Tea was a level lower than true Dao Tea. Beings at the Beyond the Shore level drank Dao Tea, while God Sovereigns drank Enlightenment Tea. Lin Moyu said, "It was a gift from a senior, I was just lucky."

Chu Xiong interrupted their polite conversation, "Who cares what it is, as long as I get to drink it." Zhuang Bi gave him a disapproving look but said nothing more. Chu Xiong sat down and asked loudly, "Junior Brother Lin, where did you go just now? Where is your sister?" He looked around but did not see Lin Mohan. Lin Moyu and Lin Mohan were inseparable on Fire Seed Island, but now they were not together. Lin Moyu said, "My sister probably won't participate in the Four Star Regions Competition." Chu Xiong was puzzled, "Why not participate all of a sudden?" Zhuang Bi's eyes turned, and he guessed the reason, "Congratulations to your sister on advancing to God Sovereign."

The Four Star Regions Competition required participants to be at the God King level. The minimum was the first rank of God King, and the maximum was a small God Sovereign. Too low or too high was not allowed. Lin Mohan's sudden withdrawal from the competition could only mean one thing: she was advancing to God Sovereign. Lin Mohan was already at the peak of a small God Sovereign, so advancing to God Sovereign was normal.

Chu Xiong slapped his thigh, "Doesn't that mean my ranking can go up by one, and I can earn more Divine City Merit?" The ranking and rewards of the Four Star Regions Competition were closely related; the higher the ranking, the better the rewards. Clearly, Zhuang Bi and Chu Xiong were familiar with the competition. Given their age, they might have experienced several Four Star Regions Competitions and were not strangers to its details.

Lin Moyu asked, "Brother Zhuang, Brother Chu, do you know much about the Four Star Regions Competition?" As he spoke, he poured tea for the two and handed them their cups. Zhuang Bi smelled the tea, "I know a bit." Chu Xiong patted his chest, "Although this is my first time participating, I've watched many times and have a lot of experience." Lin Moyu was curious, "Brother Chu, you haven't participated before?" Chu Xiong said, "No, participating once is enough, no need to come every time."

Zhuang Bi explained in detail, "Most people participate in the Four Star Regions Competition mainly to enter the Divine City. But entering the Divine City through the competition only makes you an outer member, with no rank. Moreover, the rules in the Divine City are quite restrictive, not as free as outside. So, we complete chain tasks outside to gain entry to the Divine City, then participate in the competition to earn enough Divine City Merit to quickly rise in rank once inside. At least reaching the initial rank allows for free entry and exit."

Through Zhuang Bi's detailed explanation, Lin Moyu gradually understood the situation in the Divine City. Divine City Merit was crucial for advancing ranks within the city. The Divine City had many restrictions; one could not enter or leave at will. But the Divine City was the ultimate destination for human cultivators, with many resources unavailable outside. So, the question was how and when to go. If one participated in the competition without sufficient cultivation, even if they gained entry, they would be at the bottom, worse off than outside. Therefore, both Zhuang Bi and Chu Xiong waited until they were small God Sovereigns and had already earned entry before participating in the competition. Combining both, they could quickly rise in rank within the Divine City.

Chu Xiong grinned, "I asked some people from the Divine City, and most of them are at the bottom, with no rank. It's very hard to advance in the Divine City. Even Dongfang Ze is only at the initial rank. He needs a lot of Divine City Merit to advance to the next rank. This time, he came to the competition to earn merit." Zhuang Bi enjoyed the Enlightenment Tea, closing his eyes and gloating, "Unfortunately, he ran into Junior Brother Lin and Fairy Han, getting pushed to third place. His 100 points of Divine City Merit turned into 20."

Lin Moyu also understood that without him and Lin Mohan, Dongfang Ze would have likely taken first place. Lin Moyu smiled, "It is a bit unfortunate." Chu Xiong shouted, "Unfortunate my foot! If I meet him in the competition, I'll teach him how to behave." Zhuang Bi laughed, "Just don't lose too badly." Chu Xiong snorted, "We'll see. The competition is not like the Human Emperor Network; I can use my special moves there." Zhuang Bi looked at Lin Moyu, "Junior Brother Lin, be careful. The competition is different from the Human Emperor Network; many participants have unique tricks that are hard to guard against."
