Star Dragon God
Time flies, and it has been over a year since Ruo Xi left. Now, Huo Feng is fifteen years old.
Huo Feng's Exorcism Holy Liquid ran out five months ago, and he discovered that his eyes had not fully recovered. Despite this, Huo Feng was surprised to find that he could control the blood within his eyes.
When Huo Feng focused his mind, the blood would disappear. However, when he controlled the blood to appear in his eyes, they would turn an eerie blood red, but Huo Feng could still see. At this moment, the scenery through his eyes would turn crimson, and when looking at people, he realized he could see their blood vessels and arteries, as if he could control their blood.
On Huo Feng's shoulder stood a light blue magical beast named Bing. They arrived at the forest where Ruo Xi had left, just like usual.
Huo Feng found a clearing and sat down. He reminisced about the moments spent with Ruo Xi and silently thought, "Ruo Xi, are you doing well now? Do you still think of me? How foolish I am to only realize now that I have fallen for you and understand your feelings for me."
Huo Feng stood up, thinking to himself that he needed to become stronger. He wanted to find Ruo Xi and tell her that he liked her. He had already reached Earth Vein Realm Level Five and was about to break through to Earth Vein Realm Sixth Level, yet that final step seemed impossible.
Huo Feng knew he needed an opportunity to reach Earth Vein Realm Sixth Level, so he said to Bing, "Bing, come train with me and help me break through to Earth Vein Realm Sixth Level."
Bing shook its head and replied, "No, you should find someone or a magical beast of similar strength to stimulate you. The gap between us is too great for it to be effective."
Huo Feng helplessly shook his head; the difference between him and Bing was too vast.
He began to reminisce about the past and suddenly thought of Xuanran and Nangong Yu. He wondered how they were doing. After Ruo Xi left last time, they returned to Holy City. Since he couldn't break through anyway, he might as well go to Holy City to see them.
With that thought in mind, Huo Feng took action. He summoned the Phantom Butterfly, which had been with him and was now nearing the level of Earth Level Intermediate.
Using the method Bing taught him for communicating with magical beasts, Huo Feng instructed the Phantom Butterfly, "Go back to Nottingham City and use simple illusions to inform my father that I went to Holy City to find friends. Tell him not to worry."
Upon hearing Huo Feng's command, the Phantom Butterfly flapped its wings and headed toward Nottingham City. Watching the Phantom Butterfly leave made Huo Feng smile and mutter to himself, "It seems this Phantom Butterfly is quite interesting; using this method for urgent communication with my father is not bad at all."
With that, Huo Feng set off toward Holy City with Bing.
In the Holy City, at the Southern Mansion, which was previously the location of the Martial Hall, a fiery-haired young man stormed into the hall. At that moment, a beautiful girl dressed in red approached him and asked with a smile, "Brother Xuanran, what's wrong? Who made you so angry?"
The young man is Xuanran, and the beautiful girl is Nangong Yu.
Xuanran replied, "Hmph! It's my second brother, always targeting me. He clearly doesn't have the ability I do, yet he uses all sorts of tricks to hinder me. This time, Father Emperor originally wanted me to go to the Black Forest to kill that Golden-Horned Lizard, but he let Fu Haisheng take it away under various pressures."
Upon hearing about the Second Prince, Nangong Yu frowned as well. This person was far more scheming than Xuanran could ever compare to.
"Who dares to provoke our esteemed Third Prince?"
At that moment, a voice came from outside. Both of them immediately straightened up and looked towards the door. Xuanran, who was previously furious, now excitedly shouted, "Brother Huo Feng!"
Nangong Yu also covered her mouth in surprise.
A figure appeared at the entrance of the hall, with a light blue magical beast perched on his shoulder. Xuanran quickly rushed over and hugged Huo Feng, happily saying, "It's been such a long time! You've grown so much!"
Huo Feng was equally delighted to see them and smiled, "So have you! You're becoming more and more manly." He then turned to Nangong Yu and said, "Sister Nangong is becoming more beautiful and feminine as well. Hahaha!"
"Shut up! After not seeing you for over a year, your mouth has gotten worse!" Nangong Yu playfully scolded.
"Just when I'm in a bad mood today, your arrival is perfect. Let's go out for drinks," Xuanran said as he patted Huo Feng's shoulder.
"Hahaha! I also miss our first drinking experience," Huo Feng said while looking oddly at Xuanran and then at Nangong Yu.
Seeing Huo Feng's strange expression reminded Xuanran of why he had invited Huo Feng for drinks that time, making him cough awkwardly twice. Huo Feng immediately burst into laughter.
Nangong Yu looked at them curiously and asked, "Why did you drink that time? And why do you know it was so strange?"
Huo Feng touched his nose, suppressing a laugh, and said, "You should ask Brother Xuanran about that."
At that moment, Xuanran actually blushed, threw out a line saying, "Yuer should come along too," and pulled Huo Feng towards the establishment.
Nangong Yu mumbled, "What’s so embarrassing about it?" and quickly followed them.
Soon they arrived at the best hotel in Holy City. Huo Feng and the other two found a private room, and Xuanran began to order food. After he ordered some famous dishes from Holy City, he told the waiter, "Also bring me your best beast milk wine and tell them to be quick."
The waiter responded and pushed the door open. Just as the door opened, a young man in a luxurious black outfit happened to pass by and exclaimed in a strange voice, "Oh! Isn’t this my third brother? Unable to perform in the Black Forest, you’ve come here to drown your sorrows in drink?"
Hearing that voice, Xuanran's good mood vanished instantly. He stood up and said to him, "Hmph! Fu Haisheng, I’m drinking with my brothers right now. Don’t ruin my mood. You should know that apart from your schemes, you are no match for me."
"Is that so? What about me? If you make a move, I think Father Emperor will have an even worse impression of you, and you’ll have even less chance. Brothers? I really can’t understand who in Holy City would want to be brothers with someone as brainless as you," Haisheng replied fearlessly.
Huo Feng had been facing away from the door but remembered Haisheng from when he first arrived in Holy City and learned that his brother was being bullied. At this moment, Huo Feng suddenly stood up, turned to face Haisheng at the door, and said playfully, "I’m Second Prince; do you remember me?"
"You?????? You are?????? Huo Feng?" The Second Prince looked somewhat frightened upon seeing Huo Feng, clearly still remembering how formidable he had been back then.
At this time, six Earth Vein Realm Level Two guards immediately came to stand behind the Second Prince.
Huo Feng coldly glanced at them and thought to himself, "Since I plan to leave here now, I might as well help Brother Xuanran. It’s also a good opportunity to test the power of these eyes."
With that thought in mind, Huo Feng's lips curled into a smile as he said to Haisheng, "I’m Second Prince; how is it that you still haven’t made any progress despite having so much? How pathetic. This time I’ll let you experience what fear truly is."
Suddenly, Huo Feng's eyes turned into an eerie blood red color. Haisheng and his six guards instantly felt as if they were trapped in an endless slaughterhouse, their eyes filled with terror.
Huo Feng focused his mind, and Haisheng along with the six others suddenly felt their blood boiling uncontrollably, their faces filled with pain. The six of them desperately resisted the turmoil within their bodies, while the Second Prince, Haisheng, rolled on the ground, crying out in agony.
Huo Feng then controlled the blood flow in the Second Prince's legs, causing Haisheng to feel as if his legs had gone numb. The reversed blood flow made his upper body and face swell with a flushed redness.
After a few moments, Huo Feng's eyes returned to normal, though blood trickled from the corner of his mouth. This was the first time he had so precisely controlled an attack on someone else; managing so many people at once was indeed a bit overwhelming.
Meanwhile, the Second Prince sat on the ground, clutching his legs and screaming like a madman, "My legs, my legs!"
The six guards, witnessing the bizarre scene dissipate, felt at a loss surrounding the Second Prince.
Nearby, Xuanran and Nangong Yu were also astonished, their mouths agape as they stared at Huo Feng.
At that moment, Huo Feng addressed Haisheng and the others: "Your legs are ruined. This is just a lesson for you. If you dare to disrespect my brother again, I will take your life."
Knowing they were no match for Huo Feng and fearing they might suffer the same fate, the six guards hurriedly pulled up the Second Prince and fled. The Second Prince continued to wail all the way.
Once they left, Huo Feng smiled at Xuanran and the others and said, "Let's continue."
