Time flowed like water. The cascade of black clouds was slowly retreating. Soon, a beautiful morning light enveloped Xinlong Paradise.
As a high being with the Golden Dragon soul, Feng Hui did not require sleep; instead, he could maintain his energy for weeks on end.
Devouring the vital Qi, Feng Hui repeated this process. Throughout the night, he cultivated his body. With the death of thousands of monsters, he was now just a step away from reaching the Bronze Dragon realm.
Upon reaching the Bronze Dragon realm, there would be a qualitative change in energy within his body. Feng Hui thought, "This cultivation speed is unheard of."
If the natives of the Dragon Continent were to catch word of his unhindered advancement, Feng Hui would undoubtedly be treated as a demon.
Exploring a wide avenue inside Xinlong Paradise, Feng Hui examined the scenery.
Shortly later, a large fluctuation of memories flooded his mind. Feng Hui recalled growing up in Starryfu, innocently exploring the brand-new amusement park, and laughing with his family on the signature rides.
Feng Hui closed his fluttering eyes, and he sighed at the familiar rides. He continued walking toward a vast stadium with the red-haired Sun Yi close behind him.
The stadium was for viewing shows. Usually, there would be entertainment mascots everywhere. However, the atmosphere was solely eerie now. There was both fresh and dried-up blood everywhere. Sun Yi couldn't even discern the difference between the monster's blood and human blood. The sight was awful.
"Nothing can escape the passage of time." Feng Hui muttered, and he thought to the future he would have upon becoming an Immortal. The level after the Golden Dragon realm meant stepping into a higher plane of life.
However, whether Feng Hui would enjoy this type of life was a different story entirely. In his view, witnessing the rise and fall of worlds was not a dream at all. Instead, he didn't even harbor amicable feelings toward the concept of living forever.
Upon reaching the vast stadium, Feng Hui gazed at the entrance surrounded by toy shops, food stores, and numerous carnival games. Taking in the colorful scenery, he perceived the shadowy figures of numerous monsters. At the sound of his steps, the monsters abruptly turned to stare at him.
Feng Hui retracted his aura, and he lowered his presence. If he did not do this, the low-level monsters would subconsciously fear him, and they sometimes would even run away.
Not utilizing his soul strength, Feng Hui watched numerous murderous orcs rush toward him. In the corner of his eye, he also discerned four or five lemures gazing at his body with desire.
"Brother Hui, I'll take the north side." Sun Yi shouted, and he ran toward a horde of monsters residing on the opposite end of the stadium. After the night, he was a step away from reaching the next level in all his stats.
"Mm." With a low breath, Feng Hui nodded. Facing the orcs with his bare body, he subconsciously became excited. His pitch-black eyes shone; his gaze became focused.
Feng Hui was approximately six feet tall, but the orcs still managed to tower over him easily. Anchoring his left foot, he waited for the orcs to mob him. In the chaotic environment, a single black-robed man was thrilled at the sight of the horde.
Moments later, the orcs had reached his destination. Feng Hui smiled, and he threw a casual punch that seemingly encompassed nature itself. The punch blitzed through the wind, and the sound of cutting air resounded.
"Pop."
The noise of exploding bodies boomed. Feng Hui's casual punch disintegrated the orcs from its very core, and their sturdy bodies fell apart like a sandcastle facing a tsunami.
"Pathetic." Feng Hui thought. These weak creatures dared to run about unhindered in his world? In due time, he would demonstrate what a true killing demon was. Without care, he would annihilate their entire species.
Devouring the vital Qi of what was left of the orc corpses, Feng Hui felt himself inching closer and closer toward the Bronze Dragon realm. In front of him, he calmly observed the red-haired Sun Yi battling a horde of dog-like humanoids.
These creatures were called Kobolds; their species possessed horns with incredibly tough, scaly skin. Holding steel spears, the kobolds encircled the single Sun Yi with their overbearing numbers.
From the tactical encirclement, Feng Hui judged these dog-like creatures to be much more intelligent than the mindless goblins. Likely, these kobolds specialized in ambushes and building traps.
Watching the red-haired Sun Yi cast a vast wave of golden fireballs, Feng Hui remained calm. In his mind, he thought, "Indeed. Previously, I wasn't certain, but now I am. The unlocking of hidden talents done by the spellcaster is similar to the archbishops of the Holy Sect."
"Upon reaching adulthood, the wealthy citizens would be sent to the Holy Sect to have their hidden talent–attribute unlocked." In the Dragon Continent, Feng Hui had disdained the conducts of the Holy Sect; therefore, he had never gone to have his talent unlocked.
Furthermore, there was no need. Feng Hui was already the genius of the millennium.
"Could there be a connection between the spellcaster and the Holy Sect?" Feng Hui thought, but he shook his head. The two entities were at completely different levels; it was not feasible.
The Holy Sect was one of the five superpowers in the Dragon Continent; however, its level was still beneath the revered Secret Legion of the Long Kingdom.
The Secret Legion was a collection of super-elite troops. A single member of the Secret Legion could rival the fighting power of an entire nation. Furthermore, their unseen black-robed leader was renowned as one of the strongest men in the whole continent!
Every human was innately different; hence, there were countless talents of various varieties. Feng Hui continued watching the red-haired Sun Yi set the army of kobolds ablaze.
In utter tranquility, Feng Hui discerned the unnecessary moves of the red-haired Sun Yi. In the Long Kingdom, a single misstep could result in death. It was more productive to control one's movement.
Now, the situation was fine since Sun Yi was a lot stronger than the kobolds, but what if he was facing an army of monsters at a higher level than himself? Wasting a single second could decide the outcome of the battle!
"Even compared to the innumerable talents I've seen in the Dragon Continent, this golden flame is at a superb level." Feng Hui pondered. With a flick of his black sleeves, he sent an unseen ball of light toward the red-haired Sun Yi.
With his Golden Dragon soul, Feng Hui could effortlessly discern all the physical flaws of a lifeform. The level of his soul was just a step away from reaching the realm of Immortals, after all. Reaching such a high level, he possessed innumerable tricks.
Feng Hui focused his senses on the red-haired Sun Yi, and he separated the essence of the nature.
"What a find." Feng Hui thought. With enough nurturing, this red-haired man would become worthy enough to even join his Secret Legion.
Sun Yi saw the black-robed Feng Hui watching him with a smile, and he grinned back.
While Sun Yi was leisurely hunting the remaining monsters, Feng Hui turned his attention to the hiding lemures. Smiling, he chuckled to himself, "These dumb creatures are able to affect the minds of humans?"
How could the lemures escape his gaze by merely hiding behind solid walls? In a flash, Feng Hui stared straight in the direction of their hiding spot. Likely, after devouring their vital Qi, he would reach the Bronze Dragon realm. At the second level of the Ancient Dragon Manual, he would be able to exercise even more of his soul's power without repercussion.
