While the man with smiling eyes spoke, he tapped the armrest of his chair. Iron Prison, who knew Cicada Song well, could immediately tell that Cicada Song was overjoyed.
Cicada Song’s words made the leaders of the top and veteran factions look at Gao Pei with astonishment and envy.
Gao Pei’s shock was now mixed with unspeakable elation.
Although Cicada Song was always smiling and there seemed to be a constant gleam of happiness in his eye, he seemed very unapproachable to the top factions’ leaders.
When Iron Prison had said that Gao Feng seemed fated with Cicada Song, Gao Pei had almost scoffed.
Fathers knew their sons best. Gao Pei felt that no one could know Gao Feng better than he did.
However, Gao Feng had summoned a fey that not even his father was familiar with.
Gao Pei felt that he needed to give Gao Feng a good beating when they returned home.
This brat was actually hiding something from his own father!
Suddenly, Gao Pei looked stunned.
He thought back to several months ago when Gao Feng had said that he wanted to use some of the family’s resources to trade for a Bronze/Epic fey that he could contract. He had taken an Island Whale that could not be hatched and three young Elemental Shellfish.
When he had asked Gao Feng a few days later what fey he had obtained, Gao Feng had summoned the two Spirit Spring Lilies, and Gao Pei had slapped him.
At that time, Gao Feng seemed to have more to say to Gao Pei but had been interrupted by Gao Pei’s beating.
Now, Gao Pei felt awkward.
Nonetheless, Gao Pei straightened his back and smiled in response to the looks of envy that the top and veteran faction leaders were shooting at him.
Gao Pei was already used to receiving looks of envy from veteran factions.
However, the Gao family had always been in the lower ranks of the top factions, and it had only been in recent years that they had expanded into deep-sea resources and started to climb up the ranks.
Thus, the top 20 leaders of top factions never paid much attention to him.
Now, as he basked in their looks of envy, Gao Pei felt that his son was incredible!
Of course, all of Gao Feng’s skills were thanks to his father.
Although Night Leaning Moon had said that she was looking forward to Gao Feng’s performance, she had not expected Gao Feng to truly surprise her.
Night Leaning Moon praised Gao Feng by saying, “No hubris or rush, and he caught the best opportunity. If he receives proper training, he can definitely become a top softcore support-type spirit qi professional.”
She looked at Cicada Song while she spoke. She seemed to be recommending Gao Feng to Cicada Song.
Before Cicada Song could respond, the Moon Empress who hardly spoke said, “The Breeze Hibiscus gathers spirit qi while the Spirit Spring Lilies are the fountains for the spirit qi. The Yellow Spring Lily is the main weapon that increases the team’s mistake tolerance. This team of feys forms a basic fey system. Cicada Song, if you train him properly, even if he doesn’t become a Radiance Envoy, it’s very likely that he could become one of the 10 Radiance Knights.”
The Moon Empress’s words stunned everyone present, including Cicada Song.
Cicada Song did not understand why the cold and distant Moon Empress was complimenting Gao Feng.
Gao Feng had potential, and Cicada Song had a good impression of him as well.
However, Cicada Song did not think that Gao Feng was good enough to warrant a compliment from the Moon Empress.
Nonetheless, the Moon Empress’ words made Cicada Song think.
All of the five Radiance Envoys had to be extremely well-rounded combat-class spirit qi professionals.
A softcore support-type spirit qi professional like Gao Feng would never be able to become a Radiance Envoy no matter how strong he became. However, the Radiance Knights did not need to be as well-rounded.
If Gao Feng could contract a suitable sacred source lifeform, it was not impossible for him to become a Radiance Knight in the future.
Gao Pei was now the center of envy in the Midnight Palace. There had already been three members of royalty who had praised his son.
These compliments about his potential were seen as more valuable than compliments about power.
The other veteran and top factions were slightly disappointed. They had been happy that the two royalty members were intending to accept disciples.
But after one fight on the Martial Stage, one of the spots seemed to have been taken up.
The Moon Empress watched as Gao Feng waved at Lin Yuan, and she could not help but smile warmly.
She had said what she said because the Yellow Spring Lily’s exclusive skills did have strategic significance but also because she knew that Gao Feng was Lin Yuan’s friend.
The Moon Empress had been one of the latest amongst the members of royalty to accept a disciple.
Moreover, her disciple was the youngest amongst all the members of royalty’s disciples.
Thus, Lin Yuan was at a disadvantage when he fought against the others.
Apparently, Lin Yuan and Liu Jie were a team.
If Gao Feng could become Cicada Song’s disciple, he would become another member of Lin Yuan’s team.
The more members of the team with impactful influence, the more power Lin Yuan would have.
Hence, the Moon Empress had said what she said with Lin Yuan’s future in mind.
But in the end, it was up to Cicada Song whether he was going to accept Gao Feng as his disciple or not.
Gao Feng was still overwhelmed with the joy from his victory. The other young disciples participating in the Martial Stage were eager to jump onto the stage to crush Gao Feng under their feet.
However, it was still too early to enter the stage, and they were afraid of being kicked off in the next fight after defeating Gao Feng.
None of them were idiots. Once someone demonstrated strong powers, no one weaker would dare to step up onto the stage.
After Zuo Ming instructed a person wearing the standard Spirit Guards uniform to replenish Gao Feng’s spiritual power, Zuo Ming announced, “The next challenger can now step up.”
Liu Jie stepped onto the stage with one step.
Gao Feng was extremely touched to see Liu Jie step onto the stage because he knew that Liu Jie was doing so to save Gao Feng a beating.
Gao Feng felt a great sense of relief.
Luckily, during his conversation with Liu Jie, he had heard that the latter needed to fight a few fights before his battle formation could be fully formed.
Otherwise, Gao Feng would have blamed himself if Liu Jie was kicked off the Martia Stage early on because of him.
