In one of Yuantian Cityâs Upper Zoneâs mansion districtsâŠ
âUncle Hong, did something happen? Why did you suddenly call for me?â Muxin asked in confusion as she looked at Hong Xinyuan, who was standing by a French window and looking at the night view outside.
She was just about to explore an ancient ruin. She had gathered her subordinates already. If she were lucky, she might discover a Tier 4 Legacy Land or a Legacy Guidance there. These things were incredibly important for the current Frost Heaven.
The War of Worlds would be starting soon. Although her investigation had turned up very little information about the war, she had managed to deduce that they would face players of another world. At that time, the only options left for them would be to conquer or be conquered. It would be different from when players of Otherworlds entered the main continent. There would be no third option available to them.
Hence, Frost Heaven needed to make as many preparations as possible before the War of Worlds began. Naturally, increasing the number of Tier 4 players the Guild had was a top priority.
Kerui, who stood beside Muxin, was also confused by Hong Xinyuanâs summons. She had just fallen asleep, yet before she could get any rest, she was rudely roused out of bed. Hence, she was still incredibly sleepy and wanted nothing more than to crawl back into her bed right now.
âTake a look for yourselves,â Hong Xinyuan said as he passed a document to Muxin and Kerui.
The document was none other than a summary of Wang Xinyuanâs home assault in the Sixth Southern District.
âHow is this possible?!â
Muxin couldnât help doubting her eyes when she read the report.
She had heard of Haitian Cityâs Upper Zoneâs Wang Xuanming. An expert of his caliber could definitely rank as the number one or number two expert in the base layer of Yuantian Cityâs Upper Zone.
If such an expert decided to take covert action, even the Boulder Corporation would be powerless. All the corporation could do was have its members take shelter in its mansion temporarily.
Nevertheless, Wang Xuanming had not only failed in his attack on Shi Feng but even gotten apprehended. How could anyone possibly believe this?
âHe was actually that powerful?â
After reading the report, Kerui was now wide-awake. Simultaneously, a hint of confusion had appeared in her eyes.
âEverything is as the report states.â Looking at Muxinâs surprised expression, Hong Xinyuan said, âI have to admit that I indeed underestimated Shi Feng. It seems that he has kept a lot more secrets than we thought.â
After pondering on the matter for a moment, Muxin asked, âUncle Hong, do you mean for us to deepen our relationship with Zero Wing?â
âThatâs right. You already know whatâs coming in the future. When the war begins, even superpowers will have difficulty surviving. If we wish to survive, thoroughly solidifying our alliance with Zero Wing will undoubtedly be a good choice,â Hong Xinyuan said, nodding. âI also plan to sell some of the corporationâs Phantom Potions and Life Potions to Zero Wing. These should be what Zero Wing lacks the most right now.â
âI understand. Iâll contact Zero Wing immediately.â Muxin nodded and promptly left the living room.
Kerui snapped out of her daze. Looking at Hong Xinyuan, she asked, âUncle Hong, do we need to go to such lengths?â
If Hong Xinyuan were merely trying to form a strategic alliance with Zero Wing, then she could still accept such a decision. After all, the present strength and potential Zero Wing had displayed far exceeded those of the various superpowers. In fact, Zero Wing might even become an existence rivaling the Five Great Super Guilds. The only things the Guild lacked now were time and talents.
However, Hong Xinyuanâs decision to sell some of the Boulder Corporationâs Phantom Potions and Life Potions to Zero Wing greatly confused her. These items served as the foundation for the various corporations. Even the successors of major corporations could get their hands on only a limited number of them.
âYou donât understand. Wang Xuanming isnât someone who can be defeated so easily. The cards and secrets Shi Feng has hidden are absolutely extraordinary.â Shaking his head, Hong Xinyuan said, âDeepening our relationship with him now will be beneficial for both the corporation and you two sisters.â
In reality, apart from Shi Fengâs great potential, another reason behind Hong Xinyuanâs decision to go to such lengths to befriend Shi Feng was an astonishing piece of information Xia Qingying had leaked to him.
Shi Feng wasnât the person who defeated Wang Xuanming!
Hong Xinyuan knew that Wang Xuanmingâs combat power was only slightly beneath Xia Qingyingâs. Hence, defeating Wang Xuanming was an incredibly challenging proposition. Needless to say, defeating him in just a few seconds would be even more difficult.
Only the big shots living in the Upper Zoneâs middle layer could defeat Wang Xuanming that fast.
If the Boulder Corporation could befriend such big shots, it would bring much greater benefits to the corporation than simply silently developing its foundations on the base layer.

At the same time, inside a mansion in the distant Haitian Cityâs Upper ZoneâŠ
âYoung master, what should we do?â Yi Kui asked in a worried tone as he looked at Lu Tiandi, who had just exited his gaming cabin. âYuantian Cityâs Upper Zone has already apprehended Mr. Wang. If your teacher blames youâŠâ
Wang Xuanming was a bona fide peerless genius. Finding a student like him was difficult, even for the middle layerâs big shots. Now that Wang Xuanming had been caught conducting a home assault, he would definitely be banished from the Upper Zone. Without the Upper Zoneâs various resources, any further improvements would be utterly impossible for him.
After hearing Yi Kuiâs report, Lu Tiandi smiled and said, âWe donât need to do anything! Although the outcome is different from what I imagined, things are still progressing according to plan. Now, all we need to do is sit back and wait.â
Wang Xuanming had always been their teacherâs favorite pupil, receiving the best resources available. Hence, Lu Tiandi had always gotten short-changed in terms of resources. If not for Lu Xingluo suffering a major failure, his teacher wouldnât have started placing importance on Lu Tiandi at all.
Lu Tiandiâs original plan had Wang Xuanming and Shi Feng forming a grudge against each other. In his opinion, with Shi Fengâs abilities and potential, Wang Xuanming probably couldnât do anything significant to Shi Feng. Once Wang Xuanming failed in his attack, Shi Feng would definitely retaliate and create a lot of problems for Wang Xuanming. Naturally, Wang Xuanming wouldnât sit still and would retaliate against Shi Feng as well.
Shi Feng had exceeded Lu Tiandiâs expectations and defeated Wang Xuanming. However, this was not bad news for Lu Tiandi; in fact, this was the outcome he hoped to see the most.
After all, not only would Wang Xuanming get banished from the Upper Zone now, but Shi Feng would also earn the ire of their teacher. Once their teacher retaliated, Shi Feng would most likely be forced to leave the Upper Zone. In fact, he might even disappear from the world altogether. At that time, Lu Tiandi could plan on taking over Zero Wing.
âAccording to plan?â
Yi Kui shuddered involuntarily when he saw Lu Tiandiâs indifferent smile. He never thought that Lu Tiandi would scheme against even Wang Xuanming.
Ignoring his butlerâs reaction, Lu Tiandi said, âAlright, move along. I still need you to take care of Ji Luorongâs group in Godâs Domain!â
âYes, sir!â
Yi Kui responded in a hurry. Although he had long since known that those who stood in Lu Tiandiâs way would never have a good ending, he still got frightened when he saw one of Lu Tiandiâs schemes coming to fruition.
âŠ
Meanwhile, after Wang Xuanmingâs assault, Yuantian Cityâs Upper Zone arranged for Shi Fengâs group to live in a better residential unit. Xia Qingying had an Enforcement Robot stationed near Shi Fengâs new house long-term to prevent a similar situation from occurring.
As icing on the cake, the Green God Company gifted ten Phantom Potions and ten Life Potions to Shi Feng as compensation.
However, Shi Feng did not feel happy at all in this situation. On the contrary, he even felt slightly pressured.
Now that Wang Xuanming is in custody, his teacher definitely wonât spare me. Even with an Enforcement Robot guarding the house 24/7, itâll probably be difficult to stop the retaliation of a mental strength master.
As Shi Feng studied the information Xia Qingying supplied him, his head ached.
Fu Jiuzhong, Wang Xuanmingâs teacher, was no ordinary individual. He was an expert that ranked at the top even in the middle layer and wielded incredible authority. He even had influence over several corporations operating in Yuantian City that rivaled the Boulder Corporation in scale.
If Fu Jiuzhong began targeting Shi Feng, Shi Feng would most likely have difficulty acquiring resources from Yuantian Cityâs base layer.
Although it is still a little early, it seems I have no choice but to take on the Divine Dragonâs trial.
Even now, Shi Feng still wasnât confident of completing Auerbeckâs trial. This was because a Tier 4 Divine Dragon was much stronger than an ordinary Tier 4 Dragon. Even Tier 5 existences were unlikely to be a match for a Tier 4 Divine Dragon.
Originally, Shi Feng had planned to challenge the trial only after further improving his Mana Body.

However, it seemed that he had no choice but to push his plans forward.
It was of utmost importance that he completed the Divine Dragonâs trial now!
This was because only by completing Auerbeckâs trial would he become the Divine Dragonâs true companion. If that happened, Zero Wing could thoroughly solidify its position on the western continent, and the Starlight Fortress could serve a much greater purpose. At that time, Zero Wing would be able to not only recruit talents from the western continent in large numbers but also acquire large amounts of Seven Luminaries Crystals. After all, a Heaven Mode Regional Dungeon produced an astonishing amount of Seven Luminaries Crystals.
With the Seven Luminaries Crystals he acquired, he would then be able to exchange for a bunch of Phantom Potions and Life Potions. Only by securing Phantom Potions and Life Potions in bulk could he achieve a breakthrough in his mental strength in the real world and his Concentration in Godâs Domain.
After returning to his room, Shi Feng promptly consumed a Phantom Potion and a Life Potion. He then lay in his Fearless Cabin and logged into the game.
