Chapter 846: Zuo Ming Does Something Bad With Good Intentions
Gao Feng stood at the center of the Martial Stage with a look of utter dumbfoundedness.
He had panicked slightly when the gust of wind had dragged him. But now that he stood at the center of the stage, it finally hit him what had happened.
Zuo Ming had chosen him to be the first person to enter the Martial Stage.
Gao Feng"s previous delight had turned into intense anxiousness that caused his face to scrunch together, and he almost cried out in despair.
Liu Jie looked at Gao Feng standing awkwardly on the stage and blinked his eyes.
He had only told Zuo Ming a simple line.
"Uncle Zuo, if Gao Feng nods at you and surrenders, just take it as he"s forfeiting and let him exit the stage."
Liu Jie"s instruction should not have any issues, but that was before he learned about the Martial Stage"s rules.
When Zuo Ming a.n.a.lyzed the meaning behind Liu Jie"s words, he knew that Gao Feng was not strong. If so, he could not understand why Gao Feng would partic.i.p.ate in the Martial Stage.
But since Liu Jie had intentionally brought it up, Zuo Ming would do his best to see the task through.
The rules of the Martial Stage made it so that those who entered the stage later would be stronger.
Thus, Zuo Ming wanted Gao Feng to be the first to enter so that he could win a few battles despite his lack of power.
When he saw Liu Jie looking at him, Zuo Ming shot him a smile and nodded.
Liu Jie would have face-palmed if he was not wearing the standard Spirit Guards mask.
As he looked at the stunned Gao Feng onstage, Liu Jie decided to be the first to step up to challenge Gao Feng.
He would be able to lead Gao Feng to demonstrate his maximum power.
Liu Jie knew that Gao Feng was purely a support-type spirit qi professional.
When Gao Feng used up all his support-type feys, it would seem reasonable for him to surrender.
Liu Jie did not intend on summoning the Insect Queen in the Martial Stage because it would evolve, activating the sea of insects and going into full battle mode.
If he fought in such a way, there would be no point in him wearing the standard Spirit Guards mask.
It would be easy for others to identify him through the Insect Queen and sea of insects.
Although there was more than one fairy-type source-type lifeform like the Insect Queen in existence, it was impossible for two Insect Queens to have the same abilities.
Liu Jie had intended on using the Insect Queen"s new power of controlling carcinoma feys to fight in the Martial Stage to test his power as "the final weapon".
The carcinoma feys would only have the greatest effect after several fights on the Martial Stage.
If his spiritual power could be replenished after every fight in the Martial Stage, it would not be difficult for him to fight consecutive battles.
He was not afraid even if someone discovered during a fight that he could control carcinoma feys through the Insect Queen because he had only shown one of the eight Dead Soul Demon Insects during the confrontation with Miao Zhuo.
Just as Liu Jie was about to step up to the Martial Stage, someone else beat him to it.
Liu Jie became nervous for Gao Feng.
Zuo Ming did not know what Liu Jie was thinking. When Zuo Ming saw someone step up to the Martial Stage, he said, "Let the first stage of the Martial Stage begin. The rules of the fight shall be the same as those on Star Web"s Celestial Stairway. Healing-type spirit qi professionals and support-type spirit qi professionals can move back and summon feys first."
Gao Feng hurriedly said, "I"m a support-type spirit qi professional! I would like to put some distance between us!"
Gao Feng moved backward as he took a deep breath. He faced the chubby man in front of him with a look of resolution.
Although he did not want to get beaten up on the Martial Stage, now that he was here, he was not going to be a sitting duck.
He did not know who the chubby man was, but judging from the icon on his spirit qi clothes, Gao Feng knew that he was not a disciple of a top faction.
The thought of him, a disciple of a top faction, getting beat up by the disciple of a veteran faction made Gao Feng determined to lose with dignity.
The most dignified way to lose was to prove his worth on the Martial Stage.
Gao Feng waved his hand, and two large light green lilies bloomed by his feet.
The two large light green lilies spurted spirit liquid-like fountains, and the entire Martial Stage was enveloped in a large amount of spirit qi.
Although the spirit qi did not increase the concentration of spirit qi on the Martial Stage, it did kick up a gust of spirit qi.
At that moment, a large hibiscus bloomed in front of the two lilies.
The hibiscus produced a breeze that molded the two fountains of spirit liquid into threads that became a current of spirit qi which circled above the hibiscus.
Suddenly, the spirit qi that was flowing in all directions retracted and gathered in front of Gao Feng.
Lin Yuan used True Data to check on the feys that Gao Feng had summoned.
The Breeze Hibiscus was Gao Feng"s original fey, but the two Spirit Fountain Lilies had been traded from Lin Yuan for the Floating Island Whale and three young Elemental Sh.e.l.lfish.
Gao Feng had also obtained a Yellow Spring Lily from Lin Yuan that he had not summoned yet.
He had told Lin Yuan about the two Willpower Runes that he had comprehended. The Breeze Hibiscus was Platinum VII/Fantasy II.
Neither of the Spirit Spring Lilies was Fantasy Breed, but they were Silver X/Legend.
Since their grades had not evolved, Gao Feng must be suppressing their grades on purpose.
It was likely that Gao Feng wanted to evolve them to Fantasy Breed. There was no other reason to suppress their grades.
This meant that the Yellow Spring Lily had to already be Fantasy Breed.
When Lin Yuan checked on the feys that Gao Feng had summoned, all the younger generation disciples outside the Midnight Palace had a "Are you kidding me?" look on their faces.
