Divine Wilderness Dragon Emperor

Chapter 66: Chapter 66: The Promising Ling Fei

The Profound Eagle spread its wings and flew swiftly into the distance.

「Three days later.」

Ling Fei returned safely to Celestial River Academy.

Upon his return, the first thing Ling Fei did was return the Profound Eagle.

Of course, he also left two Ice Bears for it to eat as a special reward.

Immediately after, he went to the turnover room in the Task Hall to submit his mission.

All missions had a time limit. If it was exceeded, the Task Hall would post the mission again.

First, he exchanged the Ice Lotus and Bear Gall for points.

Then, he went to the High Level Task Room to exchange the Ice Heart Marrow for points.

A tall, beautiful woman named Zhou Xiaoyu greeted Ling Fei in the High Level Task Room.

”The mission is complete?” When Ling Fei stated his purpose, Zhou Xiaoyu couldn’t help but reveal her surprise, her limpid, autumn-water eyes widening.

One had to understand that even students in the Innate Realm weren’t guaranteed to complete this mission!

Yet, according to the information she had, the one who had accepted the mission was just a new student in the Body Tempering Realm.

In fact, the only reason the Task Hall had let Ling Fei take this mission in the first place was because he possessed a Cold Essence Spirit Body.

However, the Task Hall hadn’t held out much hope.

But now, this young man was claiming to have completed it.

’Looks like he probably didn’t run into an Innate Realm Demon Beast,’ Zhou Xiaoyu muttered to herself.

Then, she calmed her surprise and asked, ”How much Ice Heart Marrow did you obtain?”

”A total of twenty Ice Heart Bamboo Shoots!” With a thought from Ling Fei, a Light Pattern flickered on his Sodium Ring, and twenty Ice Heart Bamboo Shoots appeared on the table before him.

A dense Cold Qi immediately began to spread out.

Instantly, the entire turnover room became incredibly cold, as if one were in an ice cave.

Zhou Xiaoyu was also a Perfect Innate Realm expert.

But even she couldn’t help but shiver at this moment.

”Twenty stalks, all with more than seven sections... Heavens! With so many Ice Heart Bamboo Shoots, the Ice Heart Marrow within is enough to supply the academy for the entire year.”

Seeing this, Zhou Xiaoyu couldn’t help but look excited.

’This guy’s luck is incredible!’ In her excitement, Zhou Xiaoyu looked up at Ling Fei, her face full of envy.

In her eyes, Ling Fei completing this mission was all down to luck.

Then, she began to calculate the points.

”Twenty stalks, with a total of one hundred fifty-nine sections, can yield one hundred fifty-nine portions of Ice Heart Marrow. That can be exchanged for 1,590,000 points. Additionally, the Ice Heart Bamboo Shoots themselves can also be exchanged. I’ll give you a total of 1,720,000 points,” Zhou Xiaoyu said.

”Do you have any objections?” She looked up at Ling Fei.

”None,” Ling Fei said.

”Alright then, please sign here.” With that, Zhou Xiaoyu transferred 1,720,000 points to Ling Fei’s Points Card.

Ling Fei then took the card and signed his name.

’Exchanging for the middle part of the Celestial River Sword Technique requires 1,200,000 points. With my current points, I have enough to exchange for another Celestial Level Martial Art.’

Holding the Points Card, Ling Fei was filled with anticipation.

With a Celestial Level Martial Art, his combat power would rise accordingly.

”Besides these mission items, do you accept other things as well?” Ling Fei asked suddenly after taking the Points Card.

”Other things?” Zhou Xiaoyu’s brows curved. ”If they are of high value, we will naturally award the corresponding points.”

”Good!” Ling Fei nodded, then said, ”I happen to have something else good, but it’s too small in here. We’ll need a bigger space!”

”A bigger space?” Zhou Xiaoyu was taken aback. ”What is it?”

”It’s a giant python, about thirty feet long!” Ling Fei said.

’A thirty-foot-long giant python... that’s not a size a Body Tempering Realm Demon Python could reach!’

Hearing this, Zhou Xiaoyu’s heart trembled. The expression she gave Ling Fei turned strange.

’This young man can slay an Innate Realm Demon Beast?’

Ling Fei’s aura was currently restrained, so an ordinary person would be unable to discern his Cultivation.

After all, he had reached the Innate Realm through martial enlightenment, so his aura, which blended with the natural world, was less obvious than those who broke through by conventional means.

But looking at Ling Fei’s calm demeanor, Zhou Xiaoyu faintly sensed that this young man possessed a steady bearing impossible for someone in the Body Tempering Realm.

It seemed he wasn’t joking.

Then, she led Ling Fei to a spacious receiving room.

Once there, Ling Fei focused his Heart Spirit.

A Light Pattern flashed on his Sodium Ring, and the ice-bound giant Silver Python dropped into the receiving room.

An extremely cold intent permeated the air.

The Cold Qi was incredibly sharp, carrying with it a Sword Momentum!

The Sword Momentum was fierce, the Cold Qi oppressive!

This was the residual aura from Ling Fei’s sword strike!

Even after three days, the aura still lingered!

”This is an aura only someone in the Innate Realm could possess!” Zhou Xiaoyu’s eyes narrowed, staring intently at the giant python. ”This python was also at the Innate Realm.”

Then, she raised her head, looked at Ling Fei, and said, ”You killed this giant python?”

In her eyes, an indescribable shock was being suppressed.

”Yes.” Ling Fei was a man of few words.

”You killed it in the Glacial Lake?” Zhou Xiaoyu asked again.

”Yes,” Ling Fei said.

After two consecutive questions, the young man’s answers remained just as crisp. The waves Zhou Xiaoyu had been suppressing in her heart were finally stirred up.

Then, her limpid, autumn-water eyes scanned Ling Fei from head to toe. ”You’ve already entered the Innate Realm?” she asked.

If not, she truly couldn’t imagine how this young man could have fought against an Innate Realm Demon Python in the water.

”That’s right.” This time Ling Fei said two words, then asked, ”How many points can this Demon Python be exchanged for?”

”This Demon Python’s Scale Armor is perfectly preserved; only its heart meridian was pierced. It’s quite valuable. Likewise, its sinews and bones can be made into Weapons.” Seeing Ling Fei’s question, Zhou Xiaoyu put on a serious expression and said after some thought, ”If you want to exchange it for points, you can get 80,000 points!”

”Eighty thousand points isn’t bad. Let’s exchange it,” Ling Fei nodded slightly.

”Alright, I’ll process the point transfer for you right now.” Then, Zhou Xiaoyu transferred another 80,000 points to Ling Fei’s card.

”If you still have points left on this card after you graduate, you can come to the academy to exchange them. They can be traded for items or converted into Silver Coins.” Zhou Xiaoyu handed the card to Ling Fei, but this time she made a point of reminding him. It seemed that in her eyes, the current Ling Fei now carried a bit more weight.

”Thank you,” Ling Fei said, taking the card.

”Remember, my name is Zhou Xiaoyu. If you have any good things in the future, you can come find me to exchange them anytime,” Zhou Xiaoyu said with a charming smile.

”I will.” Ling Fei smiled, then walked out of the receiving room.

’Wasn’t Ling Fei at the Mid Stage Body Tempering Ninth Layer just before this? He actually broke through to the Innate Realm? And judging by the residual aura on this Silver Python, it seems he achieved Martial Arts Innate?’ Zhou Xiaoyu watched Ling Fei leave, her eyes filled with astonished light. ’This young man... he seems even stronger than I imagined!’

’It won’t be long before the new students have their quarterly assessment. I wonder if he’ll be able to dominate the competition?’ At this thought, Zhou Xiaoyu’s face filled with anticipation.

According to the news she’d received, that Pang Fei had already stepped into the Innate Realm two days ago!

Besides him, Zhou Feng, Liu Ming, and Shangguan Yurou were also about to enter the Innate Realm.

No doubt, it would be a battle of dragons and tigers then.
