Chapter 2236: Feng Hanqiu

She had always been told that their teacher was low-key, and Fairy Linglong believed it. After all, cultivating so many heaven-defying geniuses without any prior announcement certainly suggested a low profile.

But then she heard... their teacher was Zhang Xuan...

This fool... low-key?

Low-key, my foot!

Ordinary God?

Ordinary, my foot!

He created the Beauty Pill and the Obstruction-Breaking Pill in Ghost God Heaven, which everyone in the God Realm knew about. That alone was quite something. But in Linglong Heaven, within just a few hours, he killed a Conferred God King, devoured a piece of her will, took her as a beast pet, found another heaven-defying expert as a girlfriend, and even made a treasure like the Serenity Orb willingly follow him...

Is this low-key? Ordinary?

There's no High-tier God in the God Realm more high-profile or less ordinary than him!

The most crucial thing was...

She had originally planned that once she knew his name, she would find him and try to win him over. But now that things were so strained between them... what was there to win over?

"With one of them as his beast pet and the other as his girlfriend, it would certainly be hard to win him over. If all else failed... perhaps I could just confer a title on him as a gesture? But this news must not get out... otherwise, it would be bad if others found out..."

Filled with frustration, she continued to ponder.

Leaving Linglong Imperial City, Zhang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the Emperor had not attacked again.

Fortunately, the little yellow chick had intervened; otherwise, he wouldn't have known how to resolve the situation favorably.

“You... how did you get here? And how did you get to know Fairy Linglong?”

As long as it wasn't the Emperor, with his prestige from earlier, presumably no one would dare to come looking for trouble again. Zhang Xuan was no longer worried. As he flew towards the Great Teleportation Array, he looked at the girl behind him, puzzled.

“I left the Master Teacher Continent...”

Luo Qiqi recounted her experiences.

She had transformed into the Serenity Orb, broken through space, entered the spatial turbulence, been discovered by Fairy Linglong, and brought to the God Realm.

The Serenity Orb was originally a treasure that had flowed out of the God Realm. After returning, its power grew stronger and stronger, reaching the peak of God King within just over a month. Even ordinary Conferred God Kings might not be able to contend with it.

Unexpectedly, the girl's journey had been so arduous. Zhang Xuan sighed and explained Luo Xuanqing's and the others' entrustment.

“I'm sorry to my family...” Luo Qiqi's eyes reddened.

The flow of time in the God Realm was a thousand times faster than in the Master Teacher Continent. One month here was over a thousand months below, which meant more than eighty years.

Many of her relatives had probably grown old.

Furthermore, having arrived here, she could no longer return. If she wished to see her loved ones again, they would be forever separated by an unknown distance, perhaps even by life and death.

After comforting her for a few moments, Zhang Xuan changed the subject, saying, “While you were with Fairy Linglong, did you ever see my two disciples, Wang Ying and Wei Ruyan?”

“I haven't seen them, but I've heard of them. It seems they are cultivating in the Emperor's Spacetime Mirror, and their current cultivation is no less than mine!” Luo Qiqi said.

Zhang Xuan breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing that they had not troubled his students.

After asking a few more questions, the Great Teleportation Array appeared before them.

“Do you have a token for using the teleportation array?” Zhang Xuan asked.

Without a token, they couldn't use the array. Flying from here to Lingyuan Imperial City would take an unknown amount of time.

“I don't need one...” Luo Qiqi smiled faintly.

The purpose of the Great Teleportation Array token was to protect cultivators from harm. As the Serenity Orb, she controlled spatial power, and the fluctuations of the teleportation array could not harm her at all.

In fact, with her full strength, she could even tear space herself and travel through it.

Just as she said, after the Great Teleportation Array activated, a wave of power swept through, and the two vanished from their spot, reappearing in Lingyuan Heaven the next moment.

Turning to look, Luo Qiqi indeed had not suffered the slightest injury.

Upon entering Lingyuan Imperial City and returning to the Fire Phoenix Clan, they saw Feng Jiuge approaching, a look of embarrassment on his face: “Teacher...”

“What's wrong?” Zhang Xuan frowned.

“Right after you left, the competition was moved up, and you didn't reply to the messages I sent...” Feng Jiuge hurriedly said.

The three great clans' selection for entry into the Spirit God Palace was originally scheduled to be postponed by one day. However, it was said that a change occurred within the Spirit God Palace; it seemed to sense something and continuously emitted brilliant light. Under the circumstances, the three Conferred God Kings proceeded with the assessment ahead of schedule.

Which meant...

During the time he was away, the candidate chosen to enter the Spirit God Palace had already been decided!

“What place did you get?”

Hearing that the competition was over, Zhang Xuan frowned.

Despite his haste, he was still too late...

However, there was nothing he could do. The teleportation token he currently used could only transmit messages within the same day. Once he left, he simply couldn't receive them.

It was normal that he couldn't be reached since he had traveled all the way to Linglong Heaven.

However... if his disciple had secured first place, it wouldn't be impossible to impersonate him and sneak in.

“I...” Feng Jiuge's face flushed, and he knelt down: “Your disciple has failed your trust, only getting second place...”

His teacher had painstakingly explained combat techniques to him, allowing him to break through the Nine Phoenix Great Array. But against that person, he was still helpless, ultimately suffering a regrettable defeat.

“Second?” Zhang Xuan frowned, looking over in confusion: “Who was first?”

He had sparred with all the Fire Phoenix Clan's geniuses. Although Feng Jiuge had started from behind, with his guidance, he had far surpassed everyone else. Under normal circumstances, among those below the God King realm, no one should have been able to defeat him except for Zhang Xuan himself.

How did he only get second place?

Could it be that the other two great clans had even stronger experts?

“That would be me!”

Before Feng Jiuge could answer, a faint voice rang out, and then several young men were seen striding into the courtyard.

The one leading them was around thirty years old, with eyes as cold and clear as ice.

“Teacher, he's the one who won first place, Feng Hanqiu, an expert from the Ice Phoenix Clan!” Seeing that his teacher didn't recognize him, Feng Jiuge hurriedly transmitted his voice.

“Feng Hanqiu?” Zhang Xuan was momentarily stunned, then frowned: “A God King expert?”

The young man before him had an aura that, though restrained, hinted at immense, contained power, like a vast snow mountain ready to collapse and unleash terrifying strength.

Without even looking, he knew that this person's strength had already reached the God King realm...

Didn't they say that the competition was for those below the God King realm, and there wouldn't be anyone of this level?

Having reached the God King realm, what was there left to comprehend?

“He broke through on the spot while sparring with me...” Feng Jiuge's face flushed.

The person before him was originally similar in strength to Feng Jiuge, even being suppressed by him. But unexpectedly, when pushed to the limit, he successfully broke through to become a God King, which made him an unmatched opponent, and Feng Jiuge was defeated on the spot.

Zhang Xuan suddenly understood.

Although Feng Jiuge had received his true teachings, he had, after all, only been studying for a relatively short period. It was not surprising that he couldn't contend with a true God King.

“I heard that you are the top among the younger generation of the Fire Phoenix Clan. Do you dare to fight me?”

Without another word, Feng Hanqiu's gaze flickered as he looked over.
