124: Chapter 124 Searching for Him a Thousand Times
The red flush in Ji Hongfei's eyes gradually faded as he regained his clarity. At this moment, his body seemed to break through some kind of shackle, and like a whirlpool, it began to absorb the surrounding spiritual energy.
Dan Yunyao landed on the ground, panting slightly. Seeing this scene, she decisively took out a large number of spirit stones from her space ring and crushed them directly.
The spiritual energy was drawn toward Ji Hongfei and merged into his body. Very quickly, his aura shifted as he broke through to the First Realm, Fifth Stage.
Mo Yu saw this and wore a look of despair, but everyone tacitly agreed not to continue attacking, waiting quietly for Ji Hongfei to complete his breakthrough.
"Brother Chi, doesn't this count as aiding the enemy?" Mo Yu spread his hands. Forget it, no point in fighting anymore.
Dealing with Ji Hongfei at the First Realm, Fourth Stage was already strenuous enough, and now that he had broken through, they were even less of a match for him.
After finishing his breakthrough, Ji Hongfei looked at Chi Anlin with a complex expression. Although his inner demon had not been eliminated, it had been temporarily suppressed thanks to Tian Yin's skill.
"Many thanks. Consider it a favor I owe you." After saying this, Ji Hongfei waved his hand and walked toward the outside of the playground.
For him, only the first-place prize was slightly tempting, but in the current situation, he did not want to make a move against Chi Anlin anymore, so he decisively withdrew from the competition.
After Dan Yunyao nodded slightly to Chi Anlin to express her goodwill, she left with Ji Hongfei.
Both of them were children of prominent families and were not lacking in resources.
For a moment, only that pair of girls, Mo Yu, Chen Yue, and Chi Anlin remained on the playground.
Mo Yu looked at the Beast Tamer girl. She was from the Nangong family and was named Nangong Shilan. Her three beast companions were all equipped at great expense by her family, and their strength was extremely formidable.
As for the healer, she was her younger sister, named Nangong Yuxi.
Glancing at Chen Yue, who was at the First Realm, Second Stage, a wild and uninhibited smile appeared on Mo Yu's face.
"Since they have left, Nangong Shilan, shall we have a go?"
Nangong Shilan frowned slightly, her gaze shifting between Chi Anlin and Mo Yu.
"Brother Chi will not intervene; we shall compete fairly."
"Good." Nangong Shilan looked at Nangong Yuxi and suddenly said, "Xiaoxi, in that case, you take fifth place."
As a healer, reaching such a ranking was already thanks to being carried by her teammate. If they were to fight two against one, it would be an unfair victory.
Nangong Yuxi nodded, voluntarily withdrawing from the battlefield and giving up her qualification for the competition.
The battle was on the verge of breaking out. The three beast companions launched an attack on Mo Yu, and Chen Yue gritted her teeth, preparing to join the fight, but was stopped by Chi Anlin.
He realized that Mo Yu intended to let Chen Yue enter the top three. Given Chen Yue's strength, she would only face defeat if she fought against any of the four people present.
"It's a fair duel; it won't be too late to make a move after they finish fighting."

"This Sovereign has returned!"
After returning to the Military Realm, Phoenix Fire Lord already had five Grand Daos in her hand.
There were two ways to use a Grand Dao. The first was to directly replace someone's own, but this would limit their aptitude, making it difficult to advance further.
The second was to absorb it. One's own comprehension of the Grand Dao might not reach as high as the original owner's, but it could be improved by oneself later on.
Other Monarchs might have used these Grand Daos directly after obtaining them, but Phoenix Fire Lord was already at the peak of the Monarch realm and was currently in the period of comprehending rules; these ordinary Grand Daos were of no use to her anymore.
Therefore, Phoenix Fire Lord decided to exchange one of these for a fire-element Grand Dao for Chi Xueyue to comprehend, and then break two of them apart to let her two disciples experience the mysteries of the Grand Dao.
This was a grand gesture; even Kings would be jealous if they saw it.
As for the remaining two, she would leave them at the school.
With a light flip of her hand, Phoenix Fire Lord's spiritual power broke through the restrictions of the space ring and entered Giant Horn Monarch's space ring.
"Tsk, quite wealthy, he's embezzled quite a bit." Phoenix Fire Lord narrowed her phoenix eyes. She felt that her luck had been quite good lately, having obtained so many cultivation resources.
Previously, she stayed in the Military Realm every day, so she didn't really go out to acquire resources. Now that she had another disciple, the demand for resources would certainly be even greater.
These resources were enough for her to properly cultivate these two disciples.
"My two disciples both have good potential and will surely break through to the Monarch realm in the future. Three Monarchs from one sect..." Phoenix Fire Lord hummed a little tune. When that time came, they could go together to slaughter that stinky block of wood at the peak of the Monarch realm; she had been coveting that source of life for a long time.
The higher the cultivation realm of a demon plant, the better the therapeutic effect and taste of its source of life.
Although she wasn't incapable of defeating that block of wood, if it were to self-destruct before dying, that source of life would be gone.

"Giant Horn Monarch has fallen, and the Golden Horn Realm is in chaos?" Looking at the message on his wristband, Demon Subduing King sighed and said, "Beacon Fire, Feiyu, let's make a trip."
"White Spirit King will stay at the school to continue presiding over things, and Water Moon King, don't go either; stay here."
Hearing Demon Subduing King's words, Water Moon King was a bit puzzled. The portal to the Golden Horn Realm was in Sea City, so if there were problems in the Golden Horn Realm, Military University would generally send everyone out.
"Why?" Water Moon King had an ominous premonition and inexplicably recalled Phoenix Fire Lord's previous words.
She didn't really go to the Golden Horn Realm, did she?
No, that's not right. Then why can't I go?
"Phoenix Fire Lord killed Giant Horn, who had just promoted to the Monarch realm, and used your name. Although everyone knows it certainly wasn't you who did it, if you go, you will still encounter some trouble."
That "some trouble" referred to the possibility of him dying there. After all, the Golden Horn Ancient Emperor was in a state of rage. If he were to vent his anger on him, then even though Water Moon King was quite formidable among the Kings, he would be inevitably slapped to death.
For an Ancient Emperor who had comprehended the laws, killing a King was simply too easy.
Water Moon King's face turned black. He had always been the one to set others up, but today, he had actually been set up by someone else?
The key was that even if he had been set up, he could only swallow his anger.
In the Military Realm, Phoenix Fire Lord was the most unreasonable existence. Hadn't they seen how Beacon Fire, that thorny character, had been disciplined to the point where he didn't dare to make a peep?
"What a pity, I won't be able to go to the Golden Horn Realm in the future." Beacon Fire King added fuel to the fire.
White Spirit King was stunned for a moment. This Beacon Fire King was truly thick-headed.
Water Moon King was looking for a place to vent his anger.
But for some reason, it felt that Beacon Fire King still seemed to be eager to give it a try.
"Little Fengfeng, come to Taocheng to find me tomorrow, okay~" After Water Moon King gave a light cough, his voice changed, transforming into a very pure female voice.
"Hmm?" White Spirit King was confused. What kind of maneuver was this? It was truly disgusting.
Looking at Beacon Fire King, White Spirit King discovered that Beacon Fire King seemed to have turned to stone.
"Lan... Lanyue?" Beacon Fire King's body trembled slightly, his tone filled with disbelief. Over these past few months, he had been trying every possible way to find Lanyue's location, just to see her once.
"Mm, it's a secondary account I created." Water Moon King nodded, revealing a black-bellied smile.
This old guy was actually learning to engage in online dating like the youngsters. As his close friend, he naturally had to teach him a lesson to prevent this guy from being deceived.
