It was completely silent outside the Mansion Refining Star Pool. Every gaze was filled with silence as they stared at Luo Feng's figure on the screen. They were clearly shocked by his length.
Why was he so long!
They did not know much about Luo Feng. After all, the Sacred Land was very far from the four pavilions. Compared to the Sacred Land Star Card masters who had witnessed Luo Feng's growth, the Wind Pavilion's Star Card masters only knew that he was the champion of this year's Holy Land Tournament.
And now, the trip to the Mansion Refining Star Pool had given them the most direct feeling.
One thousand eight hundred and eighty-eight feet!
It must be said that even the top figures of the younger generation of the four pavilions, Zhou Sheng and Jiang Yan, had only reached fifteen hundred feet in the past.
Fifteen hundred feet was already shocking enough, but Luo Feng had surpassed the almost legendary record by another three hundred feet!
How had he done it?
All the deputy commanders looked at each other. They clearly understood what this meant.
This meant that if Luo Feng did not grow too long, their Wind Pavilion would have a Star Card master comparable to the two pavilion masters, Zhou Sheng and Jiang Yan, in three to five years.
"This child is indeed extraordinary. From this, it can be seen that Jiang Chen's defeat was not unjust."
Qin Ze nodded. Not only was there not the slightest trace of displeasure in his voice, he even seemed to be rather pleased.
However, a cold light flashed in the depths of his eyes, revealing the restlessness in his heart.
"I've heard that this guy has broken some records in the Sacred Land. At first glance, it was indeed astonishing, but later everyone discovered that he had relied on a certain characteristic of his Star Card to achieve it."
At this moment, Yan Que's expression was uncertain as he stared at Luo Feng's figure on the screen. He paused for a moment before he continued, "In my opinion, it will most likely be the same today."
In his view, Luo Feng had tremendous potential. How far he could go in the future and how much benefit he could bring to the Wind Pavilion had nothing to do with him.
After all, he was only a small commander. Even if the Wind Pavilion became the leader of the four pavilions, it did not mean much to him.
Everyone's interests were different.
What he was more concerned about was the most direct benefit in front of him.
Although Luo Feng had said that he did not intend to steal his position, and was only using it as a springboard to compete for the position of deputy pavilion master of the Wind Pavilion, Luo Feng still had to admit that Luo Feng did not intend to steal his position.
However, just as the Vice Pavilion Master had said, was this something that he could do just because he wanted to?
If he became a commander and couldn't be promoted, he would stay in this position for three years. Three years after three years, another three years. Then, would he have to stay in the position of a deputy commander and lower his head like a dog?
The outstanding Star Card Masters who were in the same batch as him had already become Deputy Pavilion Masters of other pavilions.
As for him, not to mention the position of Vice Pavilion Master, he might not even be able to keep the position of Commander … If he really did not advance and instead retreated, where would he put his face?
Of course, although he was displeased with Luo Feng in his heart, he had never openly shown it. Instead, he had been quietly using tricks in the dark.
In this way, even if Luo Feng really became his superior one day, there would be no reason for him to make an example out of Luo Feng.
"Even if he really relied on the special effects of the Star Card, doesn't that show how extraordinary he is?"
Commander Lu Xiaowan shook her head with a smile. "Commander Yan Que, if you relied on the Star Card, would you be able to dive so deep?"
Yan Que's eyes darkened when he was blocked by these words in front of everyone's eyes. He was clearly extremely embarrassed and angry.
Xia Qiuming's beautiful eyes were a little dazed. For some reason, she suddenly felt a little regretful. Had she gone overboard with her acting in front of Luo Feng that day?
In truth, she didn't have any opinions about Luo Feng. The only reason she had displayed such an extreme attitude that day was because of Chu Man.
However, even if she had such thoughts in her heart, she didn't plan to say anything to salvage the situation. Because if she really did that, it would only make the master and disciple look down on her even more in their hearts.
"Hmph, no matter how good your potential is, you have to turn it into strength first. At least for now, you still don't have the strength to step on my head."
She snorted coldly and comforted herself.
Qin Ze waved his hand. Immediately, the screen dissipated and turned into fluorescent light.
He didn't want to continue watching because it would only make him feel uncomfortable.
He pondered for a moment, looked at Yan Que and said, "Recently, are the few big beast tribes around the three big cities of Fufeng County doing well?"
Yan Que nodded and said, "Currently, it seems to be stable."
Qin Ze looked deeply at him and said, "No one knows when the beast tide will come. You must pay attention to this point and make preparations in advance. Don't be caught off guard when the disaster really comes."
"In addition, there are three battalions in Fufeng County. As for which battalions and which cities to protect, as the Commander, you must make the appropriate arrangements."
Yan Que was stunned when he heard this. Protecting the three big cities of Fufeng County and resisting the beast tide was the responsibility of the Fufeng Army. Why did Qin Ze intentionally emphasize it today?
He knew that the Deputy Pavilion Master would never take the initiative to make things clear. He needed to think about the deeper meaning behind it himself.
Yan Que's eyes narrowed slightly as he pondered carefully. After a while, he cupped his fists at Qin Ze and said, "I understand."
…
At the bottom of the Star Pool.
Looking at the colorless glass-like Qi Dwelling in his body, Luo Feng opened his eyes wide and fell into deep thought.
"Why does worry always accompany me?"
"Why is my Star Mansion different from those coquettish bitches outside?"
Luo Feng blinked his eyes. The colorless Qi Dwelling that he had never heard of made him feel inexplicably nervous.
However, when he sensed it carefully, he found that his Star Mansion was indeed much bigger and sturdier than before.
"Could it be because of the Saint blood?"
He frowned, unable to figure it out no matter how much he thought about it. "Forget it, Profound Saints are awesome."
"I'll ask master later."
Just as he was about to leave, a voice that sounded like a little kitten's suddenly resounded from below.
"Meow, save, save me …"
Luo Feng was taken aback when he heard this. He lowered his gaze, and the voice seemed to be coming from below.
"Is there something down there?" he asked curiously.
"Come down, I'm begging you …"
The voice that sounded like a little kitten echoed once again.
Luo Feng was somewhat confused. Immediately, the astral qi around him surged as he attempted to descend again.
Chi.
The further down he went, the greater the pressure. It was as if he had sunk into the depths of the sea. All the bones in his body were being squeezed until crackling sounds could be heard.
"I'll try my best. Don't blame me if I can't go down."
Luo Feng gritted his teeth, stubbornly withstanding the enormous pressure as he continued to descend.
Chi.
About a few minutes later, accompanied by a sense of emptiness, Luo Feng rolled over and fell to the ground.
He raised his head and was surprised to find that the bottom of the golden pool was actually an independent space.
"Meow."
The kitten's voice was heard again.
Luo Feng suddenly turned around and looked over. He saw a cute kitten that looked like a Ragdoll cat squatting in a corner, staring at him pitifully with its gem-like eyes.
"Why … why is there a cat here?" Luo Feng was somewhat confused. He looked at it with a puzzled face and asked, "Short legs, who are you?"
"Wuwuwu, you're the short legs!" The kitten immediately waved its little paws in protest. "I'm the Cat King. I'm super fierce!"
Luo Feng: "…"
The little milk cat strutted over with its cat-like steps.
At such a close distance, Luo Feng could clearly see that there was a strange star-like pattern on its body and between its eyebrows. It was strange and mysterious.
It wagged its tail and said proudly, "I'm a Star Cat. You can call me Mina."
"Star Cat?" Luo Feng frowned and said, "What's that?"
Hearing this, the Star Cat's gem-like eyes suddenly widened. It seemed to be in disbelief. "Ahhh!!!
Oh my god, you don't know about the Star Cat?! "
"Do you know how much Star Card Masters like the Star Cat Clan?!"
"Oh, is this place awesome?" Luo Feng looked at it curiously and said, "So, why are you here?"
The Star Cat lowered its head and muttered, "I'm greedy for the Star Essence Qi here, so I sneaked in with other Star Card Masters."
"But!
After I absorbed enough Star Essence Qi, I didn't know how to get out! "
"There are high-level Star Card Masters guarding the Star Pool of Refining Mansion here. If I were to break out, I would definitely be caught!"
Luo Feng frowned and said, "So, you've been staying here all this time?"
The Star Cat nodded and said, "Yes, I want to wait for someone to come in and take me out."
"There should be new people coming here every month. Why don't you look for them?
Is it one of those cliched plots again? Why are you waiting for me here? "Luo Feng was even more confused.
The Star Cat rolled its eyes at him and said, "I'm not waiting for you. In fact, no one can reach this depth …"
"According to my secret observation, they should have something that can see the situation inside the Star Pool. From there, they can see how deep each Star Card Master dives."
"So, I can only keep diving. I try to hide as far as possible and as deep as possible. Then, I hide in a corner that is difficult to find. That way, they can't spy on me."
"I successfully reached the deepest part, but I don't know how to get up …"
"So, I've been waiting for the Star Card Masters to come here and take me out secretly."
It stomped its little feet and said with hatred, "Unfortunately, these Star Card Masters are too disappointing. The ones this year are too short. Except for you, they can't even break through three thousand feet!"
"Then you're really good. You can dive so deep." Luo Feng exclaimed. His body was almost deformed when he dived to such a depth.
Mina, the Star Cat, said, "After all, cats are actually liquid. So, this is not a problem for us."
It raised its head and stared pitifully at Luo Feng with its beautiful eyes, saying, "You will definitely bring me up, and at the same time, you won't hand me over, right?"
Luo Feng pondered for a moment and said, "I understand, but I don't like to do charity. So, why should I help you?"
Mina tilted its head and said, "I can rub it for you."
Luo Feng said, "Change it."
Mina thought and said, "Those who can come here seem to be Deputy Commanders. You are one of them, right?"
Luo Feng said, "Yes."
The Star Cat said, "That's great. As the great Star Cat King, I can totally cooperate with you (* * * ▽ * *)!"
"How do we cooperate?" Luo Feng was curious.
Mina, the Star Cat, said, "Give me your hand!"
Luo Feng looked at it warily and said, "What? I'm afraid you'll hurt me."
Mina, the Star Cat, said, "I … I won't hurt you!"
Luo Feng asked, "Why?"
Mina, the Star Cat, said, "Don't ask. I'm just a cute kitten!"
"Okay, I'll trust you this time." Luo Feng rolled his eyes and stretched out his arm.
Whoosh!
The next moment, the Star Cat flashed and turned into a stream of light, burrowing into Luo Feng's arm.
Luo Feng frowned slightly and looked over. He didn't know when, but there was an extra cat-shaped pattern on his arm.
Right at this moment, he was slightly stunned, and then he suddenly noticed that his imposing aura was actually rising steadily!
In just a few seconds, it had increased by almost two stars!
"Star Card Master. Does it feel good?"
