Fighting: I am Han Feng, I respect my teacher

Han Feng gave his instructions.

"I will."

Eileen nodded.

Black Corner is currently experiencing rapid economic development, and entering the market now could indeed yield substantial profits. However, high returns always come with corresponding risks.

boom!

Suddenly, from the secluded training grounds of the Mittel family in the back mountains, a pillar of ice shot straight into the sky.

The powerful icy battle aura caused the surrounding temperature to drop several levels rapidly, and Eileen even shivered.

Han Feng raised his hand and waved it gently, instantly dispelling the chill in the surroundings.

"That's... Elder Hai has broken through!"

As Eileen warmed up, she looked at the icy figure slowly emerging from the sky and exclaimed in delight.

Hai Bodong stood in the void, looking down at the capital city below, and felt a surge of pride rise naturally from the bottom of his heart.

"Is this what it feels like to become a Dou Zong?"

Hai Bodong clenched his fist slightly, and the surging spatial power raged around him.

Having just broken through to the Dou Zong realm, his control over spatial power was still quite unfamiliar, and the surging spatial power quickly dissipated into chaos.

However, this very naivety is enough to create a world of difference between him and a Dou Huang powerhouse.

Spatial power is the manifestation of spatial laws. Although it is only a superficial manifestation, it is far stronger than battle qi that has not yet been combined with the laws.

This is why ordinary Dou Huang experts can hardly withstand a single move from a Dou Zong.

Of course, if a cultivator possesses a rare and extraordinary item, that's a different story.

Powerful forces like strange fire are comparable to spatial power.

However, very few people possess such a thing.

In the sky, a sandy yellow figure flew swiftly, but after getting a little closer and seeing the situation, it stopped in mid-air and fell into a deathly silence.

Jia Xingtian stared in disbelief at Hai Bodong, who was standing on the void in the distance.

How could he not understand that this was the mark of entering the Dou Zong realm?

"Hai Bodong, how could you..."

Jia Xingtian was unable to calm down for a long time, his fists clenched tightly.

He was shocked and furious, but at that moment, he didn't even have the courage to approach the other person.

Hai Bodong broke through to the Dou Zong realm right under his nose. What had he been doing all these days?

Why haven't we received any news at all!

Yes, I've been focusing my attention on the Alchemy Conference and the alchemist from the Izumo Empire these past few days.

If he had been more careful and attentive, he would have been able to detect that the energy of heaven and earth in the capital had been shifting towards colder temperatures in the past two days.

"Jia Xingtian, what are you doing standing so far away? Come and sit down."

Hai Bodong glanced indifferently at his old friend in the distance, his voice booming like a bell, reaching the other's ears.

Jia Xingtian took a deep breath, slowly flapped his battle aura wings, and flew towards the Mittel family.

Upon arriving near Haibodong, the feeling of being crushed at the very source of life constantly tugged at Jia Xingtian's sensitive nerves.

"Is this what a Dou Zong is?"

Jia Xingtian sighed with regret.

Although he has been at the peak of the Douhuang realm for a long time, he still has no clue how to break through to the Douzong realm.

It was as if there was an insurmountable barrier there, preventing him from even catching a glimpse of the scenery.

"How did you do it?"

Jia Xingtian asked unwillingly.

He knew that the moment Hai Bodong broke through to the Dou Zong level, the cold war between the Mittel family and the royal family had already ended.

The Mittel family won, and what the other side will do next depends entirely on Hai Bodong, their key figure.

"by chance."

Hai Bodong said calmly.

He really enjoys this feeling; he appears calm and collected, but in reality, he's showing off like crazy.

"What a coincidence! What a coincidence!"

Jia Xingtian took a deep breath, trying his best to suppress the urge to strike the other party with his sword.

“From today onwards, those spies surrounding the Mittel family can all disperse. You probably don’t understand the strength of a Dou Zong. If I wanted to find your people, it would be too easy.”

Hai Bodong subtly showed off again.

"it is good."

Jia Xingtian admitted defeat.

"By the way, if you ever want to spar with me in the future, I'm always ready."

Hai Bodong stabbed him in the back.

Jia Xingtian's mouth twitched.

"No need."

He gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence, then decisively turned and flew away from the place.

Hai Bodong watched as Jia Xingtian fled in disarray, smiled slightly, and then turned and landed in the territory of the Mittel tribe.

"Mr. Han, thank you for your Breakthrough Pill!"

Only when he truly breaks through will Hai Bodong be able to appreciate the importance of this elixir.

He can say with certainty that without this Breakthrough Pill, it would have been wishful thinking for him to break through to the Dou Zong realm.

Even that old guy Jia Xingtian couldn't break through, so it goes without saying that he, who had wasted decades in the Tager Desert, was even less likely to succeed.

The only difference between the two is that Hai Bodong has the powerful support of Mr. Han behind him.

"It's good that you succeeded."

Han Feng smiled.

"If Mr. Han has any instructions, Hai Bodong will do his duty without hesitation!"

Hai Bodong expressed his loyalty to Han Feng.

He did not think that he could be on equal footing with Mr. Han just because he broke through to the Dou Zong level.

It wasn't because he sensed Han Feng's unfathomable cultivation level; given the current gap between them, Hai Bodong simply couldn't fathom Han Feng's strength.

If a promise is made, it should be kept.

"It's good that you have this intention. I don't need to trouble you right now. Just focus on your cultivation and don't slack off."

Han Feng said.

"For you, becoming a Dou Zong is just the beginning."

"what?"

Hai Bodong was startled; Mr. Han really overestimated him.

Hai Bodong was already very satisfied after breaking through to the Dou Zong level.

As for becoming a Dou Zun later on... he didn't even dare to think about it.

Although Hai Bodong has broken through to the Dou Zong level, his thinking is still at the Dou Huang level. Moreover, because he once fell to the Dou Ling level, he is even more cautious.

"Don't be anxious, take your time."

Han Feng smiled and patted Hai Bodong on the shoulder.

After being tested by the Fallen Heart Flame, he knew very well that Hai Bodong was a trustworthy person.

Although the opponent is a bit weaker, as long as they are sincere and possess admirable qualities, it doesn't matter if their strength and talent are lower.

Anyway, given Han Feng's alchemy skills, he's not afraid that the other party will be a burden.

I'm afraid that if I raise them to be ungrateful, they'll end up being a thankless wretch.

Teacher Yao Chen has already learned a hard lesson in this regard, and Han Feng should take it as a warning.

On a mountain dozens of miles from the capital, a dark cloud gathered, turning the once beautiful and serene Yunlan Sect's back mountain into a gloomy and oppressive place.

"Someone in the capital has actually broken through to the Dou Zong realm?"

The Soul Palace's Earth-level Protector, Wu Ying, slowly revealed a pair of scarlet eyes amidst the dark clouds.

He was a protector assigned by the Soul Palace to operate in the Northwest Continent, mainly responsible for matters near the Jia Ma Empire.

Although the twenty-four branch temples in Zhongzhou were destroyed, the guardians who were scattered elsewhere were safe and sound.

To plan a bloody battle, Wu Ying had been laying the groundwork in the Jia Ma Empire for two years.

As long as Yunshan accepts his help and breaks through to the Dou Zong level, then this pawn will be successfully placed.

Once the dark seed within Yunshan slowly grows, it will inevitably cause a drastic change in Yunshan's temperament. At that time, he will persuade Yunlan Sect to wage war, and the Jia Ma Empire will become a battlefield, with a large amount of soul power being seized.

This is a very mature set of methods and strategies. If a Soul Palace envoy wants to be promoted to a Protector, he not only needs the strength of a Dou Zong, but also needs to learn and master this method.

Of course, the effectiveness of applying this to real life will vary from person to person.

The fact that a hawk can become a Earth-rank guardian means it must be quite capable.

After two years of luring, Yunshan had now fallen into his trap.

Next, all we need to do is wait for the fruit to mature.

These are all considerations within the plan.

However, the fact that someone in the capital broke through to the Dou Zong realm today made Wu Ying feel uneasy.

If the empire were to produce a powerful figure comparable to Yunshan, the great war would likely not be able to drag on for long.

Wu Ying knew very well how difficult it was to deal with a Dou Zong expert.

Unless he takes action, the Gama Empire, with its resources, would not produce such a monstrous powerhouse.

"Hehehe, this is good. If all goes well, we might be able to obtain the souls of two Dou Zong this time."

The eagle changed its perspective and suddenly felt much more at ease.

The soul of a Dou Zong expert is far more precious than that of an ordinary soul.

From the very beginning, the hawk had no intention of letting Yunshan go.

The old sect leader's soul was already his.

Wu Ying chuckled. He planned to take a trip outside the capital tonight to find out who had broken through to the Dou Zong realm, so he could make plans for the future.

----------

Nalan Mansion.

Xiao Yan withdrew his power and gently laid the dying Nalan Jie back down.

Although he was more skillful in manipulating the strange fire today, the speed of his healing had increased considerably. As a result, Nalan Jie suffered not less than yesterday, but even more.

The only saving grace is that the branding poison in Nalan Jie's body has been almost completely cleared up.

Just one more day and the treatment will be over.

"Mr. Yan Xiao, how is my grandfather now?"

Nalan Yanran asked.

She was somewhat worried, mainly because her grandfather's heart-wrenching roars during treatment were too frightening.

If Yan Xiao's treatment yesterday hadn't been so effective, she would have stopped him long ago.

"Your grandfather is doing very well. After his treatment tomorrow and a two-week rest, he will be fully recovered."

Xiao Yan said confidently.
