"But why invite me?" Nolan was a little confused about Fei attitude, yes he was genius but there are many geniuses so why did he invite himself?
"Because you want to get stronger, you won't be the best assassin in the world and I can see it in your eyes. I want you to be my shadow, only if the light is strong he can make his shadow strong. Ok, how about this? I have recently learned about assassination whereas you have learned it from a young age. So how about fighting on the basis of assassination? You and I will have with assassination moves, if you win I'll give up and give you this ring but if you lose then follow me" Fei explained in a profound tone trying to get more attention from Nolan.
This is a very favorable condition to Nolan and it also made him angry "Aren't you just looking down on me?"
"Yes but not on your strength instead on your view towards the world," Fei said with a slight smile on his face.
Nolan didn't understand Fei, so he gritted his teeth and agreed. He activated his Shadow art which made him lighter and faster. He also changed the sword to the dagger, holding the dagger he looked pure assassin.
Fei once again activated True Assassination Mode after he had turned off while talking to Nolan. Fei speed was at max, holding his sword he moved towards Nolan.
"Ding" "Ding" "Ding" "Ding" Ding" "Ding"
Sword and Dagger collide each other in the blinking speed with perfect accuracy. Fei at the same time opened his mouth and said "Assassination is about darkness, hiding in dark to strike, using the power of darkness"
"Corrode" Fei activated corrode in his sword, controlling the power of darkness in each strike he successfully damaged the opponent weapon. But Nolan wasn't an easy target, he shifts his trajectory and attack from behind.
"Blink" Fei used blink to move at another place near Nolan, he opened his mouth and said, "Assassination isn't always about striking from the back especially against another Assassin."
Nolan dodged, spinning in the air he screamed "Don't underestimate me"
"Gust of Ten Swords"
He switched his dagger with swords and swinging his sword he attacked. His attack trajectory was misbalanced, so Fei used Air Dragon Steps dodging every single gust of wind swords. This made Nolan even more freaked out. He screamed and finally used his strongest attack.
"Gust of Hundred Swords"
But Fei didn't move, he just waited till all hundred swords of wind reached near them. Seeing such madness, Sister Su who was watching from behind screamed "Junior Brother Fei be careful"
Nolan was also shocked, he couldn't help but to shout at Fei "You idiot, either dodge or try to block that attack, don't stay still"
"The last lesson, whether it is assassin or fighter, do not panic while fighting. Try to keep your head cool and learn from your fight. Battles are the best option to increase your strength. Learn from your mistake, learn from opponent then get stronger" Fei finally opened his mouth and gave a speech.
He clenched his fist; he only used one secret way to increase his strength.
"Dragon Elephant Phantom" Inside his dantian, dragon elephant phantom roared like a majestic king. Terrifying energy flew out of it and entered the Fei body. Magic power enhanced everything there is to enhance. He also secretly runs the Buddha Martial Spirit in his sea of consciousness. Now that he had already opened a sea of consciousness, he can basically use Martial Spirit without summoning it.
Of course for cultivation, he still needs to summon it to absorb spiritual qi. But now, he just wants to use Buddha Martial Spirit to gain extra enlightenment to successfully use his new move. Inside his dantian fire qi erupts like a volcano, flowing into his fist.
He steps forward, get in the punching position, and roared "Fire Fist- Intent burning the world"
The fire erupted out of his fist like a previous time when he used green flame to attack except it was yellowish red in color. The fire was in the shape of fist completely materialized burning every gust of wind swords in front of it. This attack not only breaks Nolan's strongest attack but also hurt in a little.
Yes, this time Fei completely understood the martial art intent of Fire Fist. But what was even more surprising for him was the attack power of this move. It was completely equal to the perfection of low-grade spiritual rank art. (Grade = Tier)
"Ow, Ow, Ow" Nolan felt the burn in his arms which he used to block that fire intent. Fortunately, Fei instantly gave him a better healing pill which made him heal fast.
Fei looked at Nolan's face waiting for his answer, finally Nolan gave up and answered "Okay I'll follow you"
"Haha, you won't regret it, just sign this contract" Fei took out golden paper and gave it to him.
Nolan looked at the golden paper, then looked at Fei face finally signed it. As he signed golden paper entered his soul. Sister Su who was currently watching all this also got surprised but decided not to ask anything.
Fei was happy on receiving talented person; he then gave back his ring and said "There is an art in it, perfect for you"
"Yes," Nolan nodded without doubting Fei.
"So are you waiting or returning back" Fei asked
"I'll check this place out since I'm already here. By the way, two people put a bounty on your head. One is sect master of Blood Controlling Sect and another is a person from your sect named Gu DongHai subordinate." Nolan did what he promised to do
"Oh, they" Fei made a mysterious face for a second then made as if he doesn't even care.
"Well let's go," Fei said walking towards Sister Su.
"Sister Su, shouldn't we be going?" Fei asked
"Umm let's go" Sister Su nodded and move back with Fei and Nolan
On the way back, everyone was silent, suddenly Fei broke the silent saying "Sister Su, won't you ask anything about our previous incident?"
"Well, Can I ask about your legion then?" Sister Su mysteriously smiled and said
"Of course, you can ask but I won't give you much detail unless you join," Fei said as if he doesn't even care
"What is the power level of your legion?" Sister Su directly asks, even Nolan was little interested in this question.
"Well, this question is very hard to answer. We haven't even started recruiting, so for now I am choosing thirty core members. There are twenty members including Nolan who joined my legion as a core member. As for more detail, you can ask if you join" Fei politely explained also made embarrassed look.
"You previously said seven protectors whose powers are equal to sect master? Who are they?" Sister Su was very confused and interested in this matter. After all, if they are sect master level powerhouse then why follow Fei.
"Please join legion for this question" Fei made polite tone while reminding her.
"If I join, what can I get?" Sister Su got very interested in this matter so she even asked conditions to join.
"You can reach the peak of Zhen Qi dynasty within a year," Fei said with a straightforward tone
Sister Su walked near him and touches his forehead then said "You aren't sick, so why did you joke?"
"Miss you are underestimating me too much. I promise if you work hard, then with my resource and your talent, you can reach the peak of the Zhen Qi dynasty within a year" Fei helplessly sighed making both Sister Su and Nolan speechless.
"Why do I believe you? I'm not some kind idiot to bet my life without proof" Sister Su said glancing at Nolan to indicate he is just an idiot.
Nolan couldn't refuse so he just coughed a little.
"Do you know Qin Huifang?" Fei asked, since both of them are from the same sect then they might know each other.
"Qin Huifang! How could you know her? Yes, it must be because of you. Where is the contract? Give the contract fast" Sister Su thought of various reasons and points on her mind. She screamed at Fei catching his collar.
"This is the contract" Fei never thought Sister Su would have such a side; he immediately gave her contract since this might be the best chance to recruit her.
She didn't even read those rules and signed it. After signing, the contract entered her soul and except that she found no change. She immediately glared at Fei catching his collar shouted "Why did nothing happen? What did you do to Qin Huifang to increase her talent?"
"Sister Su calm down first" Fei pressed both of her shoulders and tried to calm her down. She finally thought of her previous action, blushed in shame. After taking some deep breathes she said "Huifang returned to the sect three weeks ago. She entered inner disciples after confirming her cultivation that reached the Soul refining stage.
This speed caught many people's eyes since she was brought into the sect one year ago. The sect provided lots of resources to her and she reached the Awakening realm in two weeks. This startled the whole sect. They even asked the reason for her rapid cultivation. She told on her adventure, she found a mysterious fruit that awakened Fire Phoenix veins in her body. Many of them didn't doubt because she awakened twin martial spirit, one was ice phoenix and another was fire phoenix. Now she should be in the Middle layer awakening stage. This also why I alone came to this place"
