Chapter 5548: Worth Grooming

A conflict had broken out between Little Fishy and Jie Tian. Little Fishy fell in defeat and even sustained injuries.

Are you certain about the news is reliable? Chu Feng walked up to the man with white brows and asked.

Whats with you, 521? Why are you eavesdropping on our conversation instead of focusing on your pill forging? No wonder you take so long to forge a pill! It turns out that you havent been concentrating at work at all! the man with white brows berated Chu Feng.

His att.i.tude toward Chu Feng had taken a 180-degree s.h.i.+ft in just the short span of a few days.

Chu Feng wasnt too bothered by the change in att.i.tude. He smiled at them and said, I heard that Lord Xianhai Yuer is currently fighting for us, so Im more concerned about her.

Those words only provoked a sneer from the man with white brows, as he said, Its not just Lord Xianhai Yuer who is fighting for us but Lord Jie Tian too. Why arent you concerned about him too? I think that youre just l.u.s.ting for Lord Xianhai Yuers beauty.

The crowd burst into laughter upon hearing those words.

The man with white brows looked at Chu Feng with disdainful eyes as he sneered, 521, look at yourself. Youre a mere intermediate formation master. How dare the likes of you desire Lord Xianhai Yuer? A toad l.u.s.ting over a swans fles.h.!.+ If not for the high elders recommendation, you wouldnt have even become an intermediate formation master!

The crowds laughter became even louder.

Chu Feng didnt lose his temper. He simply shrugged with a smile before returning to his workstation. His lack of response made him look like a coward in others eyes.

That useless thing! We would have long driven him out if it wasnt for the high elder. Its hilarious how he even had the galls to accept your gift! some of the formation masters walked over to the man with white brows side and spoke aloud.

Upon hearing those words, Chu Feng returned their gifts with a wave of his sleeves and said, Take back your gifts since you arent sincere about them,

Those formation masters took back their gifts without any hesitation. Even so, their att.i.tude toward Chu Feng didnt improve in the least.

Those fellows are eyesores. Who could have thought that formation ent.i.ties would be this political? Id have ma.s.sacred them if I could get out of here, Eggy grumbled in displeasure.

Theres bound to be politics where theres desire. I knew from the moment they showered me with undeserved goodwill when I first arrived that they would turn against me if my performance prove to be unsatisfactory. Still, I didnt think that they would turn on me that quickly. How dumb. They dont have any depth at all. They should have patiently waited for a while longer before showing their true colors. However, it doesnt matter to me since Im just making use of them, Chu Feng said.

He wasnt angry in the least.

Chu Feng, do you think that their information on Little Fishy is accurate? Is Jie Tian so strong as to be able to defeat Little Fishy? Eggy asked.

She hadnt seen the matured Little Fishy yet, but she vividly remembered the astonis.h.i.+ng talent she displayed as a child.

Ill head to the Star Sea Central City tonight to take a look, Chu Feng replied.

That night, Chu Feng made his way to the Star Sea Central City. He encountered the barrier that blocked his path the last time, to which, he constructed his own formation in an attempt to breach it.

However, just as he had expected, it was extremely difficult for him to breach the barrier despite having raised his spirit power to White Dragon G.o.d-cloak. He spent six hours on the barrier but only succeeded in generating a small crack on it.

It looks like my spirit power is still too weak.

Chu Feng could tell from the result that his spirit power wasnt strong enough to breach the barrier yet. As much as he wanted to meet Little Fishy to understand her current situation, there was nothing he could do since he was still too weak.

Left with no choice, he could only head back.

On the way back, he spotted an old man struggling on the ground with a pained look. He appeared to be a high formation master, though he didnt seem to be from the city Chu Feng was currently residing in.

Chu Feng had no idea what the old man was doing here, but he could tell that the latter was in a dire state. Even though they werent acquainted and the latter was only a formation ent.i.ty, he chose to intervene.

He first concealed his appearance before landing on the ground.

Did you sustain these injuries from the formation? Chu Feng asked the old man.

Yes. The old man strenuously nodded his head.

Chu Feng quickly constructed a recovery formation to treat the old mans injuries.

What incredible means! Why do you conceal your name?

The old man felt grateful to Chu Feng, especially when he sensed how effective the formation was. However, he couldnt understand why Chu Feng was concealing his appearance and the identification number embroidered on his robe.

Elder, I dont want others to know who I am. You should be able to recover within four hours inside this recovery formation. You dont have to repay me for this favor. Just treat it as if we have never met, Chu Feng said before flitting off into the night.

As soon as Chu Feng left, the old man lying on the ground suddenly rose to his feet. His pained expression vanished as if it was just an illusion, and his injuries instantaneously recovered.

Shoosh shoosh shoos.h.!.+

Several figures dressed in silver armor swooped down and stood behind the old man. Their silver armor was so exquisite that there was not a person in Chu Fengs city who possessed it.

Chief elder, that man attempted to sneak into the Star Sea Central City. Should we really let him off just like that? one of the guards asked.

It turned out that the elder was one of the powerful chief elders of the Star Sea Realm.

Do you know why I feigned injury instead of arresting him right away? the chief elder asked.

The crowd shook their heads. They had been patrolling together with the chief elder when they spotted the hidden Chu Feng attempting to breach the Star Sea Central Citys barrier.

Under normal circ.u.mstances, they should have arrested Chu Feng right away. Yet, to their bewilderment, the chief elder chose to put on a show instead.

Look at this recovery formation. Do you think this is something that can be constructed by a normal White Dragon G.o.d-cloak? the chief elder pointed to the recovery formation Chu Feng had constructed as he asked.

His control over his spirit power is indeed amazing.

The crowd acknowledged Chu Fengs skills despite the enmity they felt toward him.

Its not just this recovery formation. The formation he used to breach the barrier earlier is amazing as well. While our city barrier isnt particularly resilient, it is strong enough to keep most Blue Dragon G.o.d-cloaks at bay. However, I reckon that lad will be able to easily deal with this barrier once his spirit power advances to Gray Dragon G.o.d-cloak. Its out of admiration for his talent that I chose not to capture him.

As for why I feigned injury earlier, my goal was to test his character. If he turned a blind eye to me, I would have had him arrested right away. However, he chose to lend a helping hand instead. This shows that he has potential He is worth grooming, the chief elder said.
