“……….”
The Emperor looked at the adorable Tang Li who was floating in front of her. She seemed to have not noticed the rude name-calling that this baby gave to her earlier.
“Little girl, are you related to Li Daozi?”
Tang Li tilted her head.
“Baldy? He ish my dad! Hmmph!” Tang Li pouted as she huffed angrily against the Emperor. “You mean to baldy! You bad!”
Tang Li then disappeared and landed on the top of Fang Yu’s head. She then lay there as she started to sleep.
“Umm…. ” Fang Yu did her best to dispel the awkward atmoshphere. “So, will we call you bubble butt then?”
“Hell no!” The Emperor bristled. “Just call me Empyrea.”
“………”
“What?”
“Ah uh, nothing.” Fang Yu was stunned with the lack of proper naming sense of Empyrea. Well whatever, at least Fang Yu has one more follower now with her.
“Now, let’s go to your spirit ship then.”
The pair then left through the teleportation formation, heading towards the spirit ship of the Immortal God Sect.
…………………………
While Fang Yu was busy with her new acquaintance, Fang Lin had been busy with other things.
He wandered inside the spirit ship, looking for something worthwhile to do. With Li Daozi busy somewhere with that Arthur, Fang Lin cannot go straight for the Forest of Death immediately. He needed to wait until they all can leave already.
From what Fang Lin saw through Fang Yu, the intentions of Empyrea still remains unclear. What does she want with her joining with Fang Yu? Does she want to monitor her? Or was she just really bored that she tried this for fun? Whatever the reason is, Fang Lin will keep his vigilance at a high level.
As he wandered aimlessly, Fang Lin heard footsteps approaching towards him. He resisted the urge to sigh as he saw who were rushing towards him. All of them wore the robes that depict them as Second Stage Disciples of the Immortal God Sect. They wore proud expressions on their faces.
These proud expressions waerethen replaced with looks of mocking as the disciples approaching him have managed to see his own mediocrity.
“Is this the so called confrontation scene? Is this the time where I will beat up successions of lackies until the leader is forced to come out?” Fang Lin clearly read a lot of books. Because of this, his sense of moral and beauty were a little twisted.
10 disciples, who were all in Foundation Establishment Stage and Mana Materialization Stage, surrounded Fang Lin. They closed off all the open spots, making Fang Lin’s plan to dash away be foiled. The disciples who were nearby started to clear a space when they realized what was going to happen.
“Hmmpph, you are lucky you have been Tang Ya’s teammate. If not for that, you could have been tilling and planting spirit plants now! At that time you are not Fang Lin, you are just another errand boy!
“Hahaha!” All of them laughed hysterically at Fang Lin. They then cracked their knuckles as they enclosed Fang Lin maliciously. Slight killing intent could be seen to be emanating from them. They then started taunting him.
“You are good in fighting right? Why don’t you fight us now? You are supposed to be good right? Hehehe, do not worry. The injuries you will get will not be that serious!”
“You want a challenge, then I will give you one!” At this moment, Fang Lin knew that avoiding this kind of people will only make matters worse. He had to assert himself!
Fang Lin then shouted at the top of his voice.
“Later this afternoon. I invite those who want to fight with me at the battle arena in this spirit ship! You must be at most someone with only one Dao Pillar formed.”
“Let us see who really have the audacity to fight with me later!”
Fang Lin spat at the ground as he left pompously. The disciples who were set on ambushing him earlier gritted their teeth in anger. Now with Fang Lin making a publicized fight in the public, they cannot use dirty tricks to subdue him.
They have to send their best practitioners to fight against Fang Lin. This is the only way as of now to defeat him. All those who wanted to bring Fang Lin down already prepared necessary steps in case something like this happens.
While many of the disciples in the Immortal God Sect were preparing to the surprise public match later, Fang Lin was just relaxed in his room. It was as if he did not worry about the incoming fight.
Fang Lin knew that as of now, he had the ability to fight against the lower level of the Second Stage. He thought before that he can fight at least someone at the middle of the Second Stage.
It seems like he had been wrong all this time.
The Second Stage highly relies on the insights and comprehensions of the practitioner. That means Fang Lin can defeat those with the Mortal Grade Dao even he was at the First Stage. But he might have difficulty against those with the King and Emperor Grade Daos.
If Fang Lin manages to break through the Second Stage and upgrade his Dao Grade to the Earth Grade, he will immediately skyrocket in power. But for now, he had no problems facing the dao suppression of anyone from the Mortal until Emperor Grade.
Once a higher grade dao meets a lower grade dao, the lower grade dao will be met with dao suppression. This weakens the overall abilities of the practitioner with the lower grade dao. But because Fang Lin comprehended an Emperor Grade Dao, he can shrug off the suppression from the Mortal until Emperor Grade.
As for the Earth Grade? It will appear usually on the geniuses at the Third Stage. Fang Lin have no worries about that as of now.
While he lazed on his bed, he heard knocking sounds on his door. Upon opening it, he saw a pale Tang Ya hugging him and telling him to be careful.
She of course scolded him too.
“What the hell are you thinking Fang Lin? You are challenging people with stages higher than yours! Yes, you are at the peak Qi Condensation and you are very talented. But your opponents will be at the early parts of the Second Stage!”
Tang Ya then started shaking Fang Lin’s shoulders. She grasped it tightly as she said, “You are sure about this right?”
“Yes I am sure….. You know Tang Ya, with the way you are grasping it tightly now, you might break it.”
“What do you mean by grasping tightly! You sure are always perverted!” Tang Ya left Fang Lin while continuously reminding him,
“Do not be cocky ok?”
“Roger.” Fang Lin lazily replied. “I will not be cocky since I already have a co-”
“Shut up!” Tang Ya of course interrupted Fang Lin’s important joke. “From what I can see, you have a plan of your own. Then I will just watch for you later.”
“Huhuhu, thank you for the support Tang Ya..” Fang Lin said sarcastically. “I would love it if…” But before he could give out another suggestion, he noticed that Tang Ya left already, leaving him hanging.
“Drats!”
