Divine-level Base-Chapter 91: Fang Yao

"If you refuse Brother Zhuo’s offer, your future is doomed to be bleak, and life will become impossible for you. But if you join him, even scions of other Noble Families won’t dare to cross you. You’ll also gain access to the Zhuo Family’s resources to grow at an incredible pace. Your potential will be limitless."

Wang Anzao rattled on, his words a mix of threats and promises.

Shu Feng’s voice was ice-cold. "Get lost. If you want to be someone else’s servant, that’s your business. I have no interest in it!"

"Shu Feng, you’ll regret this!"

Wang Anzao’s brow twitched. He shot Shu Feng a look, let out a cold sneer, then got up and strode out the door.

Watching Wang Anzao’s retreating back, a cold glint flashed in Shu Feng’s eyes as a sense of crisis rose within him. ’The scions of these Noble Families really are arrogant and act with complete impunity!’

Among the Spiritualists of the Qianyuan Republic, there were four major social strata: the Lower Class, two tiers of Noble Families, and the great Clans. Of these, the Noble Families had all established their own territories within the Erosion Realm.

In the territories they had carved out for themselves, those Noble Families were like Emperors, able to establish laws, levy taxes, pass judgment, and recruit private armies. They only needed to pay a certain amount of tax to the Qianyuan Republic each year.

Even within the Qianyuan Republic, those Noble Families possessed immense power, with their influence penetrating every aspect of the country.

Shuijing High School was one of the three official Spiritualist training institutions of the Qianyuan Republic, and it could just barely resist the encroachment of those Noble Families and Clans.

Shu Feng’s brow furrowed slightly. ’High school, then university... I have seven years. If I can’t break through to the Spirit Sect Realm within seven years, having offended the Zhuo Family, I’m afraid it will be impossible to get by in society.’

A vague sense of urgency washed over Shu Feng. A single powerhouse at the Spirit Sect Realm could destroy an entire fully-armed mortal armored infantry regiment on their own. Only by advancing to become a Spirit Sect would he be able to make those Noble Family’s Sons even a little wary of him.

「Inside a villa within Shuijing High School.」

"Boss, Shu Feng rejected your offer. He also said that the Noble Families and Clans are the parasites of the Qianyuan Republic, and he would be ashamed to be associated with you."

Wang Anzao reported with considerable embellishment to a young man seated on the sofa. The man was tall with a square face and a distinctly martial air.

This young man was Zhuo Mingyao, the Legitimate Son of the Nanzhao Zhuo Family and the top student of Shuijing High School’s second year.

Zhuo Mingyao said flatly, "I’m aware. You’re dismissed."

Wang Anzao said with the utmost respect, "Yes, Boss!"

’A mere brat from the Lower Class dares to refuse my offer and even provoke me. He’s really courting death. In a few days, I’ll find a chance to get him killed.’

A glint flashed in Zhuo Mingyao’s eyes as he picked up a manual of Secret Techniques and began to flip through it quietly. In his eyes, the top first-year student of Shuijing High School was utterly insignificant. Once outside the protection of Shuijing High School, he had a thousand ways to kill Shu Feng with ease.

「Inside Room 203, Building 7.」

’My top priority is to improve my strength!’

Shu Feng took out the Dragon Essence Pill and swallowed it in one gulp. As soon as the pill entered his stomach, it instantly transformed into an incredibly violent torrent of heat that churned madly, spreading throughout his limbs and body.

Shu Feng circulated the Great Sun Scripture. The thirty-six Spiritual Meridians in his body trembled as they furiously absorbed the power emanating from the Dragon Essence Pill, rapidly converting it into Great Sun Spiritual Power filled with scorching energy, which then flowed into his Dantian.

Wisps of steam rose from Shu Feng’s body as his physical constitution and Spiritual Power surged dramatically.

After an unknown amount of time, Shu Feng opened his eyes and let out a long breath. A plume of mist shot out like a snake, swirled in the air, and then dissipated.

’A Spiritual Power Value of 8345... I finally have the cultivation of a Level 8 Spirit Warrior. With the power from the Dragon Transformation Spirit Pool, I should be able to advance to Level 9 Spirit Warrior, and maybe even reach the point where I can attempt a breakthrough to the Spirit Master Realm. But before that, I need to visit the important person Shui Lingyan recommended.’

Shu Feng looked at the massive increase in the various stats on his attribute panel, and the corners of his mouth lifted into a slight smile.

「The next day.」

Shu Feng stood before a very elegant villa and rang the doorbell.

"Who is it?"

A magnetic voice came from the villa’s intercom.

Shu Feng said, "Hello, my name is Shu Feng. Shui Lingyan told me to find the owner of this villa. I have her letter of recommendation."

A cold voice came from inside the villa. "Wait thirty minutes!"

Thirty minutes later, the villa’s main door opened. A top-tier beauty appeared before Shu Feng. She was tall, with a figure like a supermodel and skin as clear as jade, and she was wearing a black evening gown. She exuded the aura of a cool, dominant woman.

The stunning beauty glanced at Shu Feng and said coldly, "Come in."

Shu Feng stepped into the villa.

’Is this a landfill? The contrast is staggering!’

The moment Shu Feng entered the villa and his gaze swept across the room, his eye twitched.

The villa’s interior was exquisitely decorated, but garbage bags and all sorts of trash were strewn everywhere.

In the reception hall, all kinds of stockings, underwear, and clothes were scattered randomly on the floor. The tables were covered with various snacks, drinks, and beer cans.

The entire villa was like a giant garbage dump, completely at odds with the beautiful and elegant woman’s aura.

"Here is the letter of recommendation from Shui Lingyan."

Shu Feng handed the letter to the stunning beauty with the dominant aura.

The woman in the black evening gown took the letter, tore it open, and skimmed its contents. Then she tore a random piece of paper from the table, jotted down a phone number on it, and handed it to Shu Feng. "My name is Fang Yao, a friend of Shui Lingyan. Shu Feng, I know about your situation. As long as you don’t do anything illegal in Shuijing City, I can guarantee your safety. If anything comes up, call this number. Alright, if there’s nothing else, you can go."

"Miss Fang Yao, may I ask if I can clean up a bit in here?"

Shu Feng couldn’t help but ask after looking at the garbage-like villa. Although he wasn’t a neat freak, standing in a pile of trash made his skin crawl.

Fang Yao’s beautiful eyes narrowed slightly as she said flatly, "Go ahead."

Shu Feng immediately began to clean the villa with great efficiency and care. Of course, before entering each room, he would first ask for Fang Yao’s permission, and only entered to clean after she didn’t object.
