Chapter 945: Snob Show
This time, Jiang Chao and Yang Xie both gained confidence that they would find a way out.
Jiang Chao said, “Han Fei, we’re not in a hurry. Let’s go there on foot.”
Han Fei exclaimed and said quickly, “Senior Uncle, but we are in a hurry!”
Yang Xie smiled and said, “Junior Brother, don’t be hasty. The Thousand Star Array is only fully unfolded at night. There’s nothing you can do during the day. We’re going there on foot to give you a blessing.”
Han Fei was stunned. “Blessing?”
Yang Xie smiled. “The luck of a man is invisible and intangible. Just like those people said, the luck of everybody other than the three people from the Heavenly Sword Sect combined can’t amount to what a Sea Token contains. However, apart from luck, one can be blessed.”
Han Fei was rather stunned. “What exactly is a blessing?”
Yang Xie said, “Junior Brother, you should know that there’s an opportunity to become a Sea King inside the Sea Quelling Painting… But do you know what that means?”
Han Fei shook his head.
Yang Xie said, “You can become a Sea King by strengthening yourself and improving to a higher level. But there’s also another way, which is to ensure others that you are a king. A Sea King is admired and worshiped by thousands of people. At the same time, one should have a king’s domination.”
Jiang Chao asked, “Do you know why there is a statue of the Sea God in every town?”
Han Fei asked in confusion, “To make everybody admire her?”
Jiang Chao nodded slightly. “It’s one of our guesses, because there is a statue here too, but a statue of a man.”
“A man?”
Han Fei instantly gasped. All the statues he had seen in the Heavenly Water Village or Blue Sea Town were females! How could any of them be a man?
Seeing Han Fei’s reaction, Jiang Chao smiled and said, “Maybe. We speculate that the Sea God we worship might not be a real god, but a king-level expert. There are many king-level experts, and different places have different kings.”
Han Fei was shocked. “Is the Sea God fake?”
Jiang Chao said, “It’s just our speculation. If the Sea God is fake, then who is she? Why did she set up so many statues to be worshiped by everybody?”
Han Fei took a deep breath. “Did she need everybody’s power of faith?”
“Power of faith?”
Jiang Chao and Yang Xie were both stunned for a moment, before they continued, “Power of faith sounds better than a blessing. Yes. We think they need people’s power of faith, which can’t be seen or touched.”
Han Fei blurted out, “So, what should I do?”
Jiang Chao grinned. “Try to steal the power of faith, firstly by winning the approval of the residents on this floating island.”
Yang Xie said, “Junior Brother, you’d better pretend to be powerful and different from others on this floating island. Don’t hurt anyone unless it’s necessary.”
Han Fei scratched his head and thought, Aren’t you asking me to be a snob?
Had he gone through so much trouble just in order to be a snob in this place?
Han Fei took a deep breath and said, “So… What should I do?”
Jiang Chao said, “For starters, you need to make it clear that you’re here to rescue everybody from this world.”
Han Fei’s lips twitched. “Will they believe me? After all, those ordinary people have expert parents, don’t they?”
Jiang Chao smiled. “That’s different. They have strong seniors, but they’re incapable! Also, they’ve lived here for a long time without being able to get out. You’re different! You’re the first outsider to come here. So, you are a stranger that they’ve never seen. You only have six days left. If you control the Sea Quelling Painting in the next six days, you’ll rescue them, and they won’t hesitate to invest their power of faith in you. If you can’t rescue them in six days, it won’t be a big deal for you either. It will be just a normal failure.”
Yang Xie grinned and laughed. “The worst you can expect is to become a fraud. That’s not a big deal.”
Han Fei: “…”
…
A moment later…
Jiang Chao said, “Han Fei, are you ready?”
Han Fei nodded solemnly. He hadn’t become a Sea King yet, but he was already prepared to make other people idolize him. It was a weird feeling.
This was the place where the people on the floating island gathered. There was no telling how many generations of people had lived here, but the population was quite large. Han Fei detected hundreds of people.
The people who came earliest must’ve married each other and had children. Then their children must’ve had children too.
Anyway, it couldn’t have been easy for several dozen people to create such a huge population.
At this moment, Han Fei saw that a bunch of kids in linen clothes were craning their heads and looking at them.
Some teenagers even observed him from close up blatantly.
Someone asked, “Uncle Jiang, who’s he?”
A girl asked timidly, “Uncle Yang, who’s he?”
Yang Xie nudged Han Fei.
Han Fei thought, Is it time for my performance?
Han Fei stomped and flew ten meters above the ground, before he unfolded his Phantom Glass Wings.
Yang Xie murmured, “The Wind God Pearl! Nobody has ever seen that. That’s quite cool.”
“Wow!”
A bunch of kids chased after Han Fei.
Someone shouted, “Why are his wings different from great, great grandpa’s?”
Some kid was curious. “His wings are even prettier than my grandmother’s.”
A girl said enviously, “What a pair of beautiful wings!”
Even the adults were stunned for a moment. They had never seen such a pair of translucent, glass-like wings before.
Han Fei roared, “Kids, I, Han Fei, have crossed mountains, seas and crowds before I finally came here, to take you away from this world through the mist and the darkness…”
“Stop bragging! Nobody has ever left this place before…”
Someone yelled at him, not believing what Han Fei said at all. They also reminded the kids, “Don’t listen to him. So many people have come, but nobody has ever left. He’ll stay here too.”
However, what did the kids know? There was nothing but envy in their eyes.
Hum!
Little Gold appeared and hovered in the sky.
Triggered by Han Fei’s thought, Little Gold soared to the sky.
A kid shouted, “A big bird!”
Someone was at a loss. “What’s that?”
An old cultivator walked out and yelled, “It’s just a contractual spiritual beast. Don’t feel too surprised.”
However, before he finished, a bird with a wingspan of a hundred meters had swooped down.
Someone shouted, “Wow, what a huge bird!”
Someone exclaimed, “A contractual spiritual beast that can fly? Can it be so awesome?”
However, the experts here were knowledgeable, They knew that it wasn’t a bird. It had wings but wasn’t one of the Wind Sky Wings, meaning that it was at least a legendary creature. Some even suspected that it was an even stronger creature.
Han Fei leaped to the top of Little Gold’s head and announced, “It’s never too late to repent… My name is Han Fei, and I’m here to free you from your miseries. I swear by the legendary contractual spiritual beast underneath me that I will open this world for you in six days.”
Hum!
Many people changed their expressions. Was it really a legendary creature?
The experts all looked at each other in bewilderment. How could an intermediate Hidden Fisher have legendary creatures?
For a moment, everybody walked out of their homes and looked up at the sky.
Although it was quite a shocking scene, many people were actually disdainful.
Someone shook their head. “The Thug Academy always loves fancy things…”
Someone laughed. “They’ll be exposed in six days.”
Someone sneered. “Everybody who came here was a Heavenly Talent, yet they’re all stranded here. Two members of the Thug Academy are trapped here too. Why are you still bragging?”
Han Fei roared, “The spiritual energy in this place is too thin. I’ll offer you a little something as a gift!”
Han Fei extended his hand and gathered water in the shape of a dragon.
Han Fei pointed at the dragon and concentrated spiritual energy on it. For a moment, the water dragon was brimming with spiritual energy.
Yang Xie’s lips twitched. “Sir, does Junior Brother do this often? He’s so skilled at being a snob that this doesn’t look like his first time.”
Jiang Chao had mixed feelings too. “I don’t think so. Who could he have shown these fancy tricks too?”
Yang Xie said unhurriedly, “What if he received a legacy from Elder Jiang?”
Jiang Chao was stunned for a moment and then nodded. “That’s a possibility.”
As they talked, Han Fei clenched his fist, and the water dragon exploded into drops of water.
The water drops that were full of spiritual energy floated in midair like rainwater in front of the ordinary people, which made Jiang Chao and Yang Xie feel regretful.
Jiang Chao scoffed. “He consumed more than half a million points of spiritual energy! What a wasteful kid!”
Yang Xie smiled. “That’s only because he has enough spiritual energy to waste!”
When the ordinary people detected spiritual energy, Han Fei roared, “Drink this drop of water. It will improve your physical state.”
After all, they were all the offspring of experts.
They could distinguish spiritual energy from other things. What Han Fei created was just a diluted spiritual spring, which was beneficial for these ordinary people.
The kids were quite excited. Some of them shouted, “I’m stronger!”
A girl was hopping up and down. “I can see further!”
…
Someone stood out and looked at Jiang Chao and Han Fei. “You’ve created nothing but a spiritual spring in the end? What’s the Thug Academy’s intentions?”
Han Fei smiled. “It’s just a gift. I hope to have everybody’s sincere blessing. After all, if nobody knows me after I master this world here, there won’t be anybody who’s grateful to me, will there?”
Someone was tempted.
Han Fei was a hope for them. They couldn’t count on themselves anymore. Besides, even if Han Fei subdued the Sea Quelling Painting, he probably didn’t dare to kill them. They all came from powerful backgrounds.
Someone said casually, “If you’re really capable of subduing the Sea Quelling Painting and setting us free, we’ll be grateful to you.”
Suddenly, a kid said, “Big Brother, I wish you success.”
A girl also said cutely, “Hehe, big brother, I—I wish you to succeed too.”
A moment later…
A large group of people followed Han Fei to the center of the village.
Han Fei asked telepathically, Senior Uncle, I don’t feel any different.
Jiang Chao said, The power of faith is only a speculation for now. It’s just an additional safety net for you. But it remains unclear whether or not this will work.
Han Fei actually believed it even though it seemed rather unbelievable. Nobody knew why the statues of the gods existed. What if it was a way to become a king?
A moment later, Han Fei came to a round lake at the center of the floating island.
The lake was about three thousand meters in diameter. It seemed to have been drawn with a compass.
There was indeed a male statue in front of the lake. However, the statue was not holding a fishing pole but grabbing a longsword. It looked different from the Sea God’s statue that Han Fei knew.
Han Fei’s lips were twitching, as the statue was a depiction of none other than Old Han.
He was instantly dumbfounded. Old Han was here, and then left?
Han Fei didn’t show his surprise. What was there to feel surprised at? Even Ren Tianfen had been here.
He looked around the lake and saw three people who were sitting in three points of a triangle. They all looked at Han Fei.
