Ling Feng merely stayed away from the scorpions and did not really run all the way towards the city center. This test is unfair to him. Even if the Xuanjing Bureau wants to investigate if he has been deceiving the Seven Great Star Systems Alliance to obtain resources, the testing method should not be arranged in the Profound Realm.
It should be conducted in an inspection office or a cultivation room.
They can send someone to spar with him to verify his strength.
But throwing him into the Profound Realm, facing the danger of alien race attacks, while the examiners excel at ambushes and using hidden weapons, this is not a test, but a deliberate attempt to trouble him.
Given this situation, Ling Feng saw no reason to be polite.
He understood that as his strength advanced rapidly and he gained more resources, the interests involved were becoming increasingly complex. Not everyone wanted to see him gain more cultivation resource subsidies.
Moreover, as his strength increased, Yan Fei and others could also receive related rewards.
The so-called Vein-Opening Liquid is a potion capable of stimulating the bloodline, awakening power from it. This potion has no side effects, and once the bloodline power is awakened, it accompanies an individual for life, vastly different from the Genetic Potion.
Every bottle of Vein-Opening Liquid is priceless in the market.
The price of a Vein-Opening Liquid available on the market is nearly ten times the original.
Thus, exchanging accolades for Vein-Opening Liquid from the Seven Great Star Systems Alliance is the optimal pathway, but not everyone can accumulate enough accolades for its exchange.
However, today Yan Fei, Wang Dashan, and others can obtain generous cultivation resources through Ling Feng, inevitably causing jealousy.
With Ling Fengâs rise, the resource subsidy for the entire South City could even be enhanced.
Jiangbei Province contains a total of fifty-two cities. The rise in South Cityâs resource subsidy implies the reduction of resource subsidies for other cities.
Thus, this testing may appear to target Ling Feng, yet in reality, itâs directed at Wang Dashan, Yan Fei, Xu Songlin, Huo Guoqiong, and even the entire South City.
Ling Feng gradually caught a whiff of conspiracy.
This stirred his rebellious mentality.
He decided to give Du Fei some trouble.
Coasting Along does not mean eschewing competition, struggle, effort, or complaints, nor does it mean sitting idly by and allowing oneself to be bullied. Though a persimmon is soft, not everyone can squeeze it.
"Notify Marquis Zhuge, tell him if he doesnât want to be held accountable, he must do his utmost against Ling Feng. I need to clearly see whether Ling Fengâs spear technique has reached the realm of perfection."
Du Feiâs expression was grim.
"Yes!"
Lin Qiaoâan nodded in agreement.
"Hahaha, Teacher Huo, Captain Tao."
Subsequently, Du Fei changed his demeanor, entering another room with a smile to meet Huo Guoqiong and Tao Qiuhong.
"Buzz!"
Huo Guoqiong emitted a wave of mental telekinesis, trying to needle Du Fei, but unexpectedly, Du Feiâs Dharma Aspect was formidable, and a halo covered his Sea of Consciousness. He had actually consumed a consciousness potion, giving his Sea of Consciousness substantial defense.
"The Xuanjing Bureau has great means; even a governor can enjoy the consciousness potion."
Huo Guoqiong said with a serious expression.
As a Mental Telekinesis Master, the resources allocated to him by the Seven Great Star Systems Alliance are related to Sea of Consciousness power; they either fortify the Sea of Consciousness, awaken more mental telekinesis from the Sea of Consciousness, or involve cultivation manuals related to the Sea of Consciousness and mental telekinesis.
Huo Guoqiong, therefore, understood the remarkable value of consciousness potion, surpassing even the Vein-Opening Liquid.
Yet Du Fei had ingested it, carrying a strong bloodline power within him, though just a governor, he was an outstanding one.
Of course, Du Fei, regardless of his strength, could not be compared to his student Ao Dagang.
"Teacher Huo, rest assured. I know the directive from the Xuanjing Bureau brings some inconveniences for you, but all of this is for the benefit of the Seven Great Star Systems Alliance and humanityâs development. So, I hope you can understand."
Du Fei said with a mortifying smile.
Huo Guoqiong, as a Level Five Triple-Element Telekinesis Master, although weaker in combat power than him, could release mental telekinesis in full force, making it impossible for Du Fei to gain the upper hand.
Moreover, Huo Guoqiong held great prestige as the strongest telekinesis master in South City, and his student Ao Dagang was the most formidable among the examiners, and Du Feiâs biggest concern.
Therefore, when Huo Guoqiongâs suspicion was cleared and he requested a meeting, Du Fei dared not refuse.
"I cannot understand it. Ling Fengâs combat power and mental telekinesis are authenticated in the inspection office through equipment or assessed in the Star Realm, yet you let him enter the Profound Realm, facing revolving attacks from the Xuanjing Bureau personnel. Clearly, youâre targeting South City!"
Huo Guoqiong said angrily.
"Teacher Huo, didnât Ling Feng aid the Martial Hall in apprehending criminals twice? Was that conducted in the inspection office and Star Realm?
I also know the Profound Realm is fraught with danger, and the Xuanjing Bureauâs testing method is somewhat radical. But this is all to clear the suspicion of Ling Feng and Teacher Huo, among others. I suppose you wouldnât want, after the testing, to have someone continue reporting to the Xuanjing Bureau, causing resource problems for Teacher Huo, among others, and even the entire South City, right?"
Du Fei said with a sardonic smile.
"Heh, Iâve heard of the Xuanjing Bureauâs methods. I hope after Ling Feng passes all assessments, you wonât gloat as you do now."
Huo Guoqiong snorted coldly.
As a Level Five Telekinesis Master, under surveillance without reason and removed from South City, if this matter doesnât get a proper explanation, he wouldnât deserve the surname Huo.
Of course, provided Ling Feng withstands the investigation.
Du Fei also understood the trouble within all this; considering whether itâs Huo Guoqiong, Wang Dashan, or Yan Fei, even Huang Ling, Tao Qiuhong, all hold significant positions and wield considerable power.
