One Other Man

On both notes from Emperor Yassin, they emphasized that patience was important as it was hard to get all of the key points easily; it was also hard to pass through all the thresholds. However, when Fei tried, it was easy. As soon as he read the notes, his body was able to do exactly what the notes said. There was nothing in his way.

Fei also tried to teach Elena about the granular control and spiral force, but it seemed like Elena had a hard time understanding and comprehending the information.

Fei was confused since Elena was really smart, but he couldn't figure it out.

When Fei left Diablo World, it was already late at night.

Angela and Emma were in their deep sleep, so were the eight girls who acted as maids.

Fei walked out of the central tent, and a cold wind blew at him. The winter was getting colder and colder. The camp area was finally getting quiet, and only a few lights and torches were on. There were still some people walking on the street at this time though.

The party in Chambord's campsite was over.

There were a few more fancy and golden new tents in the campsite; those were the temporary residence of the women from St. Petersburg.

Although these tents weren't magic items, they weren't cheaper than Chambord's tents. Golden patterns and symbols filled the tents, and the tents looked luxurious. There was one tent that was smaller and more luxurious than the others; it was the residence of that mysterious "madam".

Even at this time, Chambord's guard didn't go down.

There were fifty Bylaw Enforcement Officers who were patrolling the campsite with armors and weapons, and the checkpoints and watchtowers were filled with soldiers. The protection of Chambord didn't fall back because of the victory during the day and the party during the night. Fei saw Cech-Peter who was in a black cape watching the night, and he also saw Pierce and Drogba who were patrolling around the river in the cold.

Fei was satisfied with what he saw.

He nodded and switched to Assassin Mode. Without catching anyone's attention, he dashed towards Moro Mountains as he passed through numerous checkpoints and campsites.

....

Moro Mountains, [Huge Pit] Battlefield.

Under the starlight, the mysterious warrior stood on a huge piece of rock on the edge of the battlefield. Behind him, there were a ton of beautiful, firework-like, colliding warrior energies. This peaceful yet explosive scenery looked strangely mesmerizing.

Without moving, the mysterious man watched Fei as he tried to get through the most powerful magic array in the area by using that "ugly dance".

Although this mysterious man was used to the king of Chambord getting through magic arrays this way, he still had to praise Fei in his mind.

What Fei didn't know was that the mysterious warrior returned to the battlefield last night after he left. The man tried to mimic Fei's strange movement and get pass a magic array. Although this man was much more powerful than Fei, he was only able to last one minute. After that, he couldn't control his muscles granularly and triggered a magic pathing...

The mysterious warrior had many ways of getting into the [Huge Pit] Battlefield without triggering the magic arrays, but they were very different from Fei's method which was insane and unimaginable.

This made the mysterious man rate Fei even higher.

A cold breeze blew by.

After Fei got through the magic array, he forced himself to use the methods in the purple scroll to train his spiritual power, despite the fact that his body was sore and his head hurt a little from depleting the spiritual power. Also, he was sitting in front of the mysterious man; he was showing all of his vulnerability points.

However, the mysterious man was shocked once more. Although his expression looked calm, he carefully observed Fei numerous times as if he was looking at a monster.

He did that because he found out that the king of Chambord's strength increased again!

It was unbelievable.

It seemed like all of the barriers and thresholds that normal warriors faced during the path of cultivation didn't exist! It seemed like if this king wanted, he could get stronger rapidly!

The mysterious man had only seen one other man achieve this kind of unimaginable results!

Now, the king of Chambord was the second.

This discovery made the mysterious man's lips twitch sub-consciously.

He started to wonder if what he was doing was right. Was what he was doing beneficial to the empire? This king was going to mature in little time, and what was going to happen? Would what happened twenty years ago re-occur? Would the history repeat itself? "Should I just listen to one of my friends and cut the wings off of this eagle before it soars into the sky and dominates it?" The man thought.

At this moment, this mysterious and powerful man hesitated a little and doubted his choice for the first time.

The king of Chambord's speed of cultivation scared him.

The more he knew about this young king, the more he was terrified by the hidden potential in that young body. It was hard to imagine how much impact this young king would have on the empire and the entire continent if he unleashed all of his potentials!

"Elder? Sorry for keep you waiting."

As the mysterious man was doubting himself, Fei's surprised and intimate voice disturbed him.

The mysterious man looked up and saw Fei's clear and pure eyes.

The eyes were clear like the river, and the mysterious man didn't see any dominating ambitions, and he didn't see any fear and fawn people would have towards powerful masters. There was only completely trust that a disciple would have towards his master.

"How long has it been since I saw a pair of eyes like this?"

The mysterious man asked himself.

For some reason, a strange feeling hit him, and his heart that was always cool, calm, and collected felt a little guilty all of a sudden.

"The fact that this young king trained and rested in front of me was enough to show his trust in me. Why did I have that kind of idea all of a sudden? What is going on?"

"Sit." After a moment of distraction, the mysterious man pointed at a huge piece of rock that was one meter tall beside him and said. Before Fei could react, the man sat on one side of it first.

The man felt like he had to talk to the king a little bit more.

This was the first time that this mysterious man made a gesture.

This surprised Fei a little, and Fei sat beside the mysterious man happily.

Actually, Fei had a lot of questions that he wanted to ask. However, his attitude towards the mysterious man changed from the initial hostility to fear and to respect. He lowered his guards unconsciously, and he treated this man as his teacher. After all, his level 54 barbarian instinct told him that the powerful and mysterious man in front of him wasn't an enemy.

"Elder, thank you for your two notes. They led me into a new world..." After seeing that the mysterious man was silent and didn't say anything for a while, Fei initiated the conversation as he took out the two notes from his storage space and handed them to the mysterious man.

"Eh?" The man frowned.

"Oh, I already remembered all the techniques recorded in the notes. So..."

"You can keep them."

"Thanks, but since they were written by Emperor Yassin, they are extremely valuable. Although I don't know how you got them, I know that it would be a lot of trouble for you if the emperor found out that his notes in the royal library went missing. Plus, I already learned most of the techniques, so I shouldn't be greedy and keep them to myself."

After a moment of silence, the mysterious man lightly waved his hand, and the two notes in Fei's hand flew back to him after a dash of green light.

"Offended Imperial Knight Palace, slapped Prince Chrystal, shamed big families, wiped out Blood-Edge..." The mysterious said slowly after another long silence. It seemed like that all of Fei's activities were known by the man... Before the man finished talking, he asked Fei a question: "You are not a murderous person, why not use smarter and clever methods to deal with these issues?"

"Too troublesome." Fei answered honestly after he thought about it for a while. "Since I'm already the underdog, any other kinds of response would be seen as signs of weakness. If I backed off one step, they would walk up ten steps."

"Eh." The mysterious man wasn't surprised by Fei's answer; it seemed like he already knew this was what Fei was going to say. However, the man didn't say anything else; he was waiting for Fei to continue.
