"So what?"
Liu Yanlan sneered. "I don't know what will happen in a year, but the Eastern Barren Territory Battle is right in front of us. There's less than a month left."
"Don't tell me you think that Luo Feng's strength can advance by leaps and bounds again in just a month's time and jump to three-star?
Zhou Sheng nodded and said in a playful tone, "According to my observation, Luo Feng only made one star a month on average when he was in the Card Master level. Is it possible that he can make two stars in a month when he's in the Card King level?"
"Have you ever seen a genius who can be judged by common sense?"
Gu Qingchuan looked at him coldly and said, "As the top intelligence assassin organization in the dynasty, I know much more than you."
"You said that Luo Feng made one star a month in the Card Master level …"
"But after the Dragon Abyss Swamp relic, Luo Feng was only a seven star Star Card Master. Without the Astral Source Dragon Ball, he made a leap to the Card King level in one and a half months. How do you explain that?"
Zhou Sheng was speechless. He had thought about it many times, but he couldn't find an answer.
"No wonder you're the top intelligence assassin organization. You remember it better than me."
Luo Feng sighed and looked at Gu Qingchuan gratefully. He had never met Gu Qingchuan before, but she had been speaking up for him today. He was really touched.
"What if I insist on not letting him?"
Liu Yanlan snorted and said, "If everything is measured by these virtual potentials, then there are no rules."
"According to the rules, the most powerful one is qualified to represent the dynasty, not the one with the most potential."
"Of course, if Prince Qi wants to force Luo Feng to fight, then I have nothing to say."
"Then there's no need to say more. Let's fight."
Gu Qingchuan stared at her and her eyes suddenly became sharp. Astral Qi rose around her. She said, "Even in terms of strength, the one who can represent the dynasty is not necessarily you."
Qi Jin looked around and said, "Is there anyone else who wants to compete?"
Everyone looked at each other and lowered their heads in silence. Other than Ye Qingcang, who else would be a match for these two giants?
"If you don't, then let's fight." Gu Qingchuan sneered and said, "If I lose, I won't say anything else."
"If you lose, I'll decide who's qualified to represent Dynasty. I hope you'll stop talking nonsense."
"Hmph, other people might fear you, the Hall Master of Soul Detention Hall, but I don't."
Liu Yanlan sneered. With a flick of her finger, several Star Card appeared in her palm, and the star energy around her began to rise.
Boom!
Two powerful auras immediately burst out from each of their bodies, enveloping each other with an earth-shattering momentum.
A storm was coming, and a storm was coming. Everyone watched the scene nervously. Were the two top geniuses of the Empire finally going to fight in advance?
"Haha, I've been away for four years. Have all of you forgotten about me?"
Right at this moment, a rough voice that was mixed with dense star qi and was like surging thunder abruptly resounded out from within the hall.
This voice was deafening, causing Luo Feng to be slightly startled. He cast his gaze over, only to see a figure walking into the main hall with majestic steps.
He was wearing fiery red armor. His face was resolute as if it was carved out of marble, and the fierceness in his eyes was like that of a ferocious tiger.
A murderous aura spread out from his body. Apparently, he had been on the battlefield for a long time and was decisive in killing.
When everyone saw who it was, they were all shocked and their eyes were filled with deep respect.
This was because this person was the commander of the border troops, the king of five Star Card, Ye Qingcang!
"Is this the commander of the Burning Flame Army who guards the border?"
Luo Feng looked at him in a daze and felt the murderous aura spreading out from him. He sighed and said, "What a ferocious tiger."
Qi Jin also smiled when he saw who it was and said, "Qingcang, you're back."
Ye Qingcang nodded and said calmly, "Greetings, Prince Qi."
He didn't cup his fists.
He didn't bow to him either.
"This guy is so arrogant," someone mumbled.
"Nonsense. You're not even 30 years old and you're already a king of five Star Card. How dare you be arrogant, Commander of the border guards!" someone else said.
Ye Qingcang looked around and said, "If I represent the dynasty in the battle, will you still have any objections?"
Gu Qingchuan heard this and said with a smile, "If Commander Ye participates in the battle, I naturally have no objections."
After all, he was a king of five Star Card.
He was recognized as the number one person.
"Ye … Ye Qingcang?!"
Liu Yanlan's expression changed when she saw the figure that suddenly appeared. Why did this guy come back to the imperial city instead of guarding the border?!
She wasn't afraid of fighting with Gu Qingchuan. At least she had a 50% chance of winning.
However, if she fought with Ye Qingcang, her chances of winning were less than 10%.
"Why, Liu Yanlan, do you have any objections?" Ye Qingcang stared at her coldly.
Being stared at like that, Liu Yanlan suddenly felt like she was being stared at by a ferocious tiger. Her heart trembled, and she said with a smile, "No, no …"
"Since no one has any objections, then I, Ye Qingcang, will represent the Yan Dynasty in the battle!" Ye Qingcang's rough voice rang out in the hall without any hesitation.
Qi Jin sighed. This guy had always been very domineering, and with his domineering strength, he had nothing to say if he wanted to be the representative forcefully.
Sigh, why did Emperor Yan send him back?
"Wait …" His eyes flashed. Emperor Yan didn't forcefully summon Ye Qingcang back to snatch Luo Feng's spot. He thought of Ye Qingcang's love for Emperor Yan and how Emperor Yan wanted him to spread the news of his relationship with Luo Feng to Ye Qingcang …
After pondering for a moment, Qi Jin smiled and said, "Qingcang, it's great that you're willing to participate in the World Competition.
"Looking at the younger generation of the Yan Dynasty, we have a ferocious tiger like you in the past, and a rising star like Luo Feng in the future. It really makes us feel at ease."
As soon as he said that, the others didn't think much of it, but Ye Qingcang's expression suddenly froze.
He swept his gaze around and asked coldly, "Who's Luo Feng?"
Qi Jin pointed at Luo Feng and said, "The one standing in front of you is …"
"The champion of the Freshmen League."
"The champion of the Holy Land League."
"The new Chief Pavilion Lord of the four pavilions …"
"Luo Feng."
"You're Luo Feng?"
Ye Qingcang looked at Luo Feng with intense hostility and murderous intent in his eyes. He cracked his neck, and the crisp sound of bones cracking could be heard.
After returning to the imperial city after four years, the news he heard the most was about this new Chief Pavilion Lord, Luo Feng.
Of course, what he was more concerned about was not how powerful Luo Feng was and how he became the Chief Pavilion Lord, but that he seemed to have an ambiguous relationship with the empress.
Childhood sweethearts?
Playmates?
He even read Luo Feng's previous novel. There were all kinds of hints in it, which made him furious. He even tore the book apart before reading the ending.
