Chapter 21 Arrogant Shi Feng
Jin Hai City, the top floor of Hailong Tower:
Hailong Tower was one of the tallest buildings located in the central business district of Jin Hai City. It also served as the Lan Hua Groups trademark building. Meanwhile, the room located on Hailong Towers top floor was a luxurious room that granted one an uninterrupted view of Jin Hai City. However, at this moment, even though there were only two people inside this room, the atmosphere in the room was incredibly tense.
Of the two people in the room, the one standing was Luo Tiancheng, while the one sitting on the luxurious leather sofa was a solemn man in his mid-thirties.
What did you say? Lan Hailong asked rhetorically, his cold voice sending shivers down Luo Tianchengs spine. Are you trying to tell me that not only did Shi Feng refuse my kindness, but he even had you convey to me the word scram?
The identity of the solemn man was none other than Lan Hailong, the true wielder of authority behind the Shadow Guild and the Lan Hua Group. He was also the legendary individual who had climbed to the top of Jin Hai City by relying on his great business acumen in investing all of the Lan Hua Groups available resources into tackling Gods Domain since the games launch and continuously expanding Shadows influence in Gods Domain.
All of my words are true, Chief Lan. I even have a complete recording of Shi Fengs words here, Luo Tiancheng hurriedly said. He was incredibly arrogant back then! He showed no regard for Shadow at all! I wanted nothing more than to teach him a lesson on the spot!
Raising an eyebrow at Luo Tiancheng, Lan Hailong asked, Why didnt you take action, then?
An awkward expression suddenly appeared on Luo Tianchengs face as he said, Thats the Gods Domain Academy were talking about, Chief Lan. There are many people there. Although I have a much stronger physique than Shi Feng, I wont be able to do any serious damage to him within a short time. Rather than teaching a lesson, he might end up using the fight as an excuse to file a complaint
Enough with the excuses! Lan Hailong said, stopping Luo Tiancheng in his tracks. Do you think Im not aware that youre no match for Shi Feng? You might have a stronger physique, but his combat experience far surpasses yours. Youd be fortunate if you could fight him to a draw, let alone teach him a lesson.
Hearing Lan Hailongs words, Luo Tiancheng dared not continue making excuses for himself and simply accepted Lan Hailongs harsh criticism. What Lan Hailong said was true, after all. No matter how weak Shi Feng was in the past, he was still the Guild Leader of Shadow. Thanks to his high status, he had gotten many opportunities to spar with master-level martial artists. He could easily overcome the small difference in physique with the wealth of combat experience he had accumulated over the past decade .
Chief Lan, should I find an opportunity to go and take care of him with Brother Hu? Luo Tiancheng suggested.
The Brother Hu Luo Tiancheng mentioned was Zhou Yuhu, the deputy chief instructor of Shadows training center. Although Zhou Yuhu didnt possess much skill in Gods Domain, he had not stopped training his body in the real world for even a day throughout the past decade. When it came to combat in the real world, he easily ranked within the top five of Shadow.
However, Lan Hailong shook his head and dismissively said, That wont be necessary. Shi Feng might pose a problem if he were five years younger, but his time is already over now. He wont be a threat to us even if we let him be.
Are we going to let him go just like that, Chief Lan? Luo Tiancheng asked in an unreconciled tone. You have no idea how arrogantly he acted at the time. He showed no respect to Shadow at all.
Thats normal. Lan Hailong chuckled. He now has an excellent student under his belt, so of course, he has the capital to be arrogant. Even that famous Instructor Qi has directly contacted me for this student. It is already certain that Wu Lingling will surpass Wu Xiaoxiao in the future. She might even get recruited by a Super Guild in the future and surpass the golden generation brought up by Instructor Qi.
Instructor Qi was one of the Gods Domain Academys senior instructors. He was an existence that even the executives of Jin Hai Citys various large Guilds had to treat with respect. The reason for this was that several years ago, two of his students had successfully joined the Super Guild World Domination. Now, those two students had even become members of World Dominations middle management. Their positions were much more prestigious compared to Gu Yiren, Shadows current Guild Leader. After all, Gu Yiren was merely one of the many geniuses nurtured by World Domination. He would have to first surpass his peers before he would have a chance at joining World Dominations middle management.
It was precisely this reason that Instructor Qi held such prestigious status in the Gods Domain Academy and that Gu Yiren had assigned his younger cousin to become Instructor Qis apprentice.
Now that Wu Lingling had shown herself to possess talent surpassing even her elder sister, it was entirely possible for her to join the middle management of a Super Guild in the future if she received proper training. At that time, Shi Feng could rely on his connection with Wu Lingling to put pressure on Shadow. In front of a Super Guild, a second-rate Guild like Shadow was nothing but an insignificant ant. If Shadow failed to handle the situation properly, it might even become history in Gods Domain.
With such a powerful card in his hand, itd be strange if Shi Feng didnt behave arrogantly.
It was also for this reason that Luo Tiancheng was incredibly envious of Shi Feng. He couldnt understand how Shi Feng could be so lucky to acquire a student like Wu Lingling.
However, Shi Feng wont be able to stay arrogant for very long, Lan Hailong said, smiling. A good student is all that he has. If this good student ceases to be his student, he will know how laughable his behavior today is!
Chief Lan, dont tell me youre planning on using that slot? Luo Tiancheng asked as he suddenly thought of something.
Yes! Lan Hailong nodded. While the Legacies in those special Dungeons are valuable, theyre worth nothing if we dont have the necessary talent to make use of them. Rather than waste our Legacy slot on an ordinary genius, itd be much better if we use it to win over Wu Lingling. With our Legacy slot and the benefits Instructor Qi offered, Wu Lingling will definitely choose to go under Instructor Qi so long as she isnt a fool.
Leave it to you to come up with such a brilliant plan, Chief Lan! If Shi Feng finds out about this, hell definitely regret the words he said today! Luo Tiancheng said. He couldnt help but laugh when he thought back to Shi Fengs arrogant behavior before.
According to the various large Guilds investigations, there were special Dungeons located throughout the Miniature Ancient World. Meanwhile, these Dungeons were 1,000-man Team Dungeons that had never been seen on the main continent before.
However, the huge entrance limit and one-week Cooldown of these Dungeons wasnt what made them special. Instead, what made them special was the Ancient Legacies they dropped. By using these Ancient Legacies, players would get to inherit crucial information about their respective classes, which would, in turn, increase their chances of advancing to higher tiers in the future.
Although nobody knew how much improvement these Ancient Legacies could provide as of yet, even a tiny improvement would make invaluable items. After all, one would typically have to rely on luck to encounter items and events that improved ones chances of ascending to a higher tier.
However, raiding these special Dungeons was easier said than done. Apart from gathering 1,000 experts, one would also need to make sure that the gathered experts were sufficiently skilled. At the very least, these experts needed to be capable of reaching the late stage of the Trial Towers sixth floor. With such stringent requirements, even Shadow, a second-rate Guild, could only form one such team. Itd be impossible for an independent player like Shi Feng to form such a team.
Alright, thats it for today. After you return, make sure you find an opportunity to make contact with Wu Lingling, Lan Hailong said. Remember to be quick! Wu Xiaoxiao is still out training with her instructor right now, so she shouldnt be aware of her sisters talent yet!
Leave it to me, Chief Lan! Luo Tiancheng said confidently.
Immediately afterward, Luo Tiancheng left Hai Long Tower and hurried back to the Gods Domain Academy.
Meanwhile, inside the Miniature Ancient World, Shi Feng and his students had finally finished resting and organizing themselves in the Withered Ruins outer region.
After seeing that all of his students had recovered, Shi Feng nodded and said, Alright, time to head inside!
