Chapter 1272: Battle in the City
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
In front of the seal of the Fish Dragon King’s residence, dozens of people blocked the door, seeming to be waiting.
Needless to say, they must be waiting for the Fish Dragon King, the current Han Fei.
As early as when Han Fei just entered the city, these people seemed to know that Han Fei had arrived. Therefore, at this moment, they all turned their backs to the door and looked in the direction where Han Fei came.
Han Fei scanned with his perception and found that although there were familiar faces in this group of people, there were no familiar Heavenly Talents. These people seemed to be the servants of some Heavenly Talents, so they shouldn’t be here to cause trouble.
Suddenly, Han Fei turned his head and looked at a high-rise building ten kilometers away. Someone was looking at him with a scorching gaze, which stunned Han Fei.
When Han Fei took a closer look, he was slightly stunned. Sure enough, there were still strong masters on the Genius List watching him.
This person was not a Half-Merman or a Merman, but a Lobster-Man. However, he couldn’t be called a lobster soldier because he was ranked sixth on the Genius List and had the strongest Lobster bloodline in the White Shell Royal City.
This person was called Shrimp Youwei. He wore bright red armor, a bright helmet on his head, and on the helmet, there were two crystal-clear and sharp shrimp whiskers. This person had two feet and six hands and was holding a sharp spur in each hand.
The two of them looked at each other, and in Han Fei’s mind, Shrimp Youwei’s voice rang. “I heard that you’ve gained a great opportunity this time. You killed Shark Ball and Yu Guang in one battle? And you even transcended the tribulation one step in advance?”
Han Fei remembered that this person hadn’t transcended the tribulation yet. Among the top ten of the Genius List, only the top three had transcended the tribulation. However, there was a guy named Zhang Xiaotian who was ranked fourth, who was in fourth place and refused to transcend the tribulation. This person said that he was the fourth, waiting for someone to seize his position.
As a result, the top three of the Genius List in the White Shell Royal City never needed to do anything. Whenever someone wanted to fight, Zhang Xiaotian would welcome them. Because Zhang Xiaotian refused to transcend the tribulation, no one else did.
Heavenly Talents were all arrogant creatures. Someone was already so strong without transcending a tribulation. As Heavenly Talents, how could they easily transcend a tribulation?
Han Fei frowned. “If it weren’t for the special circumstances, why would I transcend the tribulation?”
Shrimp Youwei nodded approvingly. “You’re right. Only by surviving can you be proud. Shark Ball and Yu Guang failed this time. It seems that they underestimated you.”
Han Fei curled his lips and said, “Heh! They just knew that I was going to break into the forbidden area and were worried that I would be too strong and snatch their position. How could they underestimate me?”
A smile appeared on the corner of Shrimp Youwei’s mouth. “You’re already so arrogant when you face me. It seems that you’ve gained a really great opportunity in the front line this time. Since you are so confident, let me see what makes you so confident?”
Han Fei frowned slightly. Shrimp Youwei seems to be quite strong. Although he didn’t take him seriously, if he showed that he could defeat the powerhouses on the Genius List in a row and advanced all the way with irresistible force, it would arouse suspicion.
In Han Fei’s impression, Shrimp Youwei was ranked sixth but was actually the goalkeeper of the top five. He once said that if anyone wanted to challenge Zhang Xiaotian, he should challenge him first. Only by defeating him would he be qualified to challenge Zhang Xiaotian. The Fish Dragon King had once challenged this person, but he was defeated after taking 13 blows from Shrimp Youwei.
The old turtle said, “This person should not be weak. If I’ve guessed right, his original body is a Fire Shrimp whose defense, speed, fire element control, and armor breaking ability are all very outstanding. Unfortunately, his demonic heritage is not good enough, which is much worse than mine.”
Han Fei sweated. “Old Yuan! Has anyone ever said that you are narcissistic?”
The old turtle snorted. “I’m telling the truth.”
Ignoring the old turtle, Han Fei glanced at Shrimp Youwei indifferently. “When I come back from the forbidden place, I’ll challenge you first.”
“Pfft!”
Suddenly, a chuckle was heard, and a woman in green walked out of a red jellyfish-shaped building.
The woman smiled and said, “Fish Dragon King, are you scared of fighting? How can you refuse a battle?”
Han Fei knew this woman, a Clam Girl named Qing Siling, ranked fifth. She was a talkative Clam Demon, but her strength couldn’t be underestimated. She was the fifth on the Genius List.
As Han Fei recalled, the Fish Dragon King had never fought this woman. Few people even challenged this woman because this woman had entered the Purgatory-level trial eight times in a row and returned safely.
However, this woman reminded him that the Fish Dragon King was an extremely arrogant person. In the face of a challenge, even if he couldn’t win, he wouldn’t flinch, so he might have to fight this time.
Immediately, Han Fei stopped in midair and looked at the two of them indifferently. “I didn’t fight because I wanted to explore the forbidden-level secret realm. You two, do you think I’m afraid?”
Qing Siling chuckled. Really? Or, have you become timid after being ambushed?”
At this moment, Han Fei sensed thousands of perceptions. He wondered how many people were watching this scene.
After all, many people were very curious about his current strength.
If it were the previous Fish Dragon King, Shrimp Youwei wouldn’t have come to provoke him at all! Because he was very sure that the Fish Dragon King was not his match.
But now, Han Fei had killed the eighth and ninth Heavenly Talents on the Genius List in one battle, so he was ranked eighth. If he guessed right, his strength must have improved a lot.
Now, Shrimp Youwei was here just to see how strong Han Fei was.
Han Fei thought to himself, Although the ambush this time was rather secret, the law-enforcer in the capital had already punished them, which had been announced. After all, this was the job of the strong masters such as Hai Tinglei. It was not good to let the city be as drab as dead water. They had to make some noise from time to time.
Han Fei thought to himself, I’m afraid this battle can’t be avoided. Now that we’ve pushed me like this, if I still avoid the battle, it won’t be in line with Fish Dragon King’s personality.
When he first saw the Fish Dragon King, this person was very happy to fight a group of guys much weaker than him. Now facing this kind of fight of the same level, he had no reason to avoid it.
Han Fei suddenly grinned. “When have I ever been afraid of fighting? Don’t you just want to see my current strength? Since you want to see it, I’ll show you.”
Shrimp Youwei grinned. “This is the Fish Dragon King I know. In that case, come and fight me.”
Then, Shrimp Youwei set himself on fire. With a swish, he soared into the sky like a flame and went straight to a thousand meters above.
In the White Shell Royal City, fighting was an exciting thing. Only fighting could show the gap in strength. Therefore, the sea demons thought that this was something worthy of admiration.
Just like in the arena in the Ten Thousand Demon Valley, countless people were watching.
In the White Shell Royal City, the battlefield was not in the buildings or underground, but in the sky above the Royal City.
At a height of 3,000 meters in the White Shell Royal City, there was a king-level seal. You could enter and fight, but the aftershock of the battle would not fall. Once it touched the seal, it would be stopped.
Han Fei glanced at the gate of the Fish Dragon King’s cave. Those people were also watching and didn’t seem to mind waiting for a while.
Without hesitation, Han Fei activated the Near at Hand Technique. With one step, he was a kilometer above in the sky, and with two steps, he had already appeared in the sky.
The Near at Hand Technique was the symbol of the Fish Dragon King. At this moment, it must be shown.
When the two of them reached the sky, the sea beasts that had been wandering above the Royal City all made way for them.
Han Fei didn’t expect that he would have to perform for everybody the moment he came to the White Shell Royal City…
Shrimp Youwei, however, said, “You’ve just transcended the tribulation and haven’t consolidated your strength yet. I won’t give you a hard time. You can use the power of the Dao Seeking realm.”
Han Fei sneered. “How can I take advantage of you? Have I ever been afraid of a Sea Spirit?”
In the city, many people released their perceptions, and more people walked out of their houses.
The servants of a level-six demonic heritage remarked, “The powerhouses on the Genius List are truly terrifying. They’re already so strong, but they still fight all day long.”
Someone sneered. “Do you think they’re like us? How can it be easy for them to become top Heavenly Talents?”
Someone exclaimed, “Do you think the Fish Dragon King will win this time?”
Someone couldn’t help but say, “I don’t think so. No matter how fast his strength grows, he can’t beat Master Shrimp Youwei in one fell swoop, right?”
Someone speculated, “If the Fish Dragon King doesn’t suppress his realm, he won’t lose, right?”
Someone pondered. “The point is, how can he not suppress his realm?”
In addition to ordinary people discussing, there were also some Heavenly Talents watching coldly.
For example, a bald young man stood next to Qing Siling and said casually, “Fighting four alone, he can’t be weak.”
Qing Siling asked in surprise, “Xiaotian, when did you come back?”
This little baldy was Zhang Xiaotian, who was ranked fourth. He had been in the Purgatory-level trial, but now he had returned.
Zhang Xiaotian raised his head and looked at the sky. “It was boring, so I came back. I wanted to try the forbidden-level trial, but I didn’t expect that the Fish Dragon King would come here first.”
In a certain palace, a Venerable turned his head and watched the battle. Few things could attract their attention now. This Heavenly Talent battle was just a show for them.
After all, not all Venerables were dedicated to cultivation. Most Venerables lived a decent life. Some Venerables who had no chance of breaking through were even idler.
In the sky, Han Fei pretended to reduce his realm and held the red spear as if he were holding a red light.
Han Fei said, “Since when can a shrimp be compared to me? Take my spear…”
