255. Chapter 255: Yao Chen Awakens, Negotiation

What a young man!

Such a young Fighting King!

So handsome!

Xiao Zhan and Xiao Yan entered the room under Ya Fei's guidance, and upon seeing Li Fei for the first time, they were immediately shocked, thinking to themselves.

This is my husband, Fighting King Li Fei.

I'll leave the rest to you; I'm heading out first.

Ya Fei finished, then turned and left, closing the door behind her.

Greetings, Your Excellency the Fighting King! Xiao Zhan immediately bowed.

Xiao Yan stood frozen in place, thinking to himself: 'Good heavens, where did this guy come from? He's so handsome, so young, and yet a Fighting King? I'm jealous as hell! This world truly has heavens beyond heavens, and people beyond people!'

For a moment, his past achievements as a young Fighter paled in comparison to this person before him.

Moreover, he felt a bit ashamed.

Greetings, Your Excellency the Fighting King! Xiao Yan also hurriedly bowed.

Now that they have come to seek this person, they must lower their stance.

Just speak plainly. Li Fei wasn't seeing Xiao Yan for the first time and wasn't too surprised; this guy looked quite ordinary.

It's like this, Your Excellency the Fighting King: Yan'er's Qi mysteriously disappeared two years ago.

Blah blah blah, Xiao Zhan finished explaining the details of the matter.

And then he said: 'So I came to have you take a look; if you can resolve my son's problem, our Xiao Clan will surely reward you handsomely!'

Clan Chief Xiao Zhan, why don't you step out for a moment so I can talk privately with Xiao Yan? Li Fei smiled slightly.

Uh... Xiao Zhan blinked in surprise.

Li Fei's move caught him off guard.

Father, please go out first. Xiao Yan said.

Alright. Xiao Zhan nodded, turned and left, closing the door.

Li Fei waved his hand, and a surge of Qi energy enveloped the room.

To prevent the conversation inside from being overheard outside.

Li Fei said slowly: 'A year ago I told you to take that ring off your hand and practice from a distance; if you had listened, you wouldn't be in this situation now.'

What!?

When Xiao Yan entered, he actually felt Li Fei's voice was somewhat familiar, but he couldn't recall it; now, after Li Fei said that, he suddenly remembered.

He showed shock and surprise: 'That voice in my mind—was it you?'

Not bad. Li Fei nodded.

Then why didn't you just appear and talk to me? I thought I was dreaming. Xiao Yan said doubtfully.

Didn't you think to try that approach? Li Fei was somewhat at a loss for words.

Uh, no. Xiao Yan said embarrassedly: 'I thought I was dreaming; besides, this is just the storage ring my mother left me, and my Qi mysteriously disappeared—what could it have to do with that?'

He extended a finger, stared at the ring, utterly puzzled.

Indeed, it has nothing to do with the ring itself, but with the soul sleeping inside it. Li Fei said with a half-smile.

Soul? What do you mean? Xiao Yan suddenly had a bad feeling.

In other words, a ghost.

There's a ghost hiding in your ring; it has been absorbing the Qi you refine since two years ago, causing your Qi to decline, making any cultivation useless.

In other words, you've been living with a ghost since you were young.

Li Fei's words made Xiao Yan's hairs stand on end, his face showing terror.

What!? A ghost!? Holy shit!?

He shouted and immediately tore the ring from his hand, throwing it to the ground.

Cold sweat appeared on his forehead.

Big brother, are you really not lying to me? Is there really a ghost in there?

Xiao Yan felt a chill run down his back.

Over the past decade or so, he's actually been living with a ghost—and he didn't even know it!

Just thinking about it is terrifying! 'Senior, won't you show yourself?'

If you lack Qi, I can help you.

Li Fei's hand produced a clump of high-quality, high-grade Qi, which he shot straight into the ring on the floor.

The next second, that clump of Qi was quickly absorbed by the ring.

This sight terrified Xiao Yan, who unconsciously moved closer to Li Fei.

Now only this Fighting King expert can give him a sense of security.

Such high-quality Qi!

Feels really good~

An aged voice rang out, followed by a puff of white smoke emerging from the ring, which then took the form of a white-haired old man.

This person is none other than the former number-one on the continent, Eighth-rank High-level Alchemist Yao Chen! Honorific: Yao Lao! 'Holy crap! It really is a ghost!!!!!!'

This person is none other than the former continent's number one eighth-grade senior alchemist, Yao Chen! Honorific title: Yao Lao! "Holy shit! It's really a ghost!!!!!!"

Xiao Yan jumped in fright, never expecting this world to actually have ghosts, and shouted out loud.

If you practice here now, you'll find out. Li Fei said.

"You will know after practicing here for a moment." Li Fei said.

Xiao Yan immediately sat cross-legged; this time it was different from his cultivation over the past two years, and the battle qi that had entered his body did not mysteriously disappear.

"Hahaha! Really! It turns out it wasn't a problem with my talent! I'm not trash! I'm still the genius Xiao Yan who shocked Wutan City!"

Upon learning he could continue cultivating, Xiao Yan was overjoyed.

"Old thing, do you know how much suffering you've caused me!!"

After reacting, he pointed at Yao Lao and cursed.

"I have no choice either; if I don't absorb your battle qi, my soul will dissipate. Thank you for your offerings these past two years." Yao Chen laughed awkwardly.

"I fuck!" Xiao Yan cursed.

"Alright, don't argue."

"He really hasn't deceived you; if he doesn't absorb your battle qi, his soul will dissipate." Li Fei stepped in to mediate.

"Besides, I've already reminded you; you just didn't take it seriously." Li Fei said calmly.

Xiao Yan felt embarrassed, rubbing his nose.

"Who exactly are you, and how do you know me, old man?" Yao Chen eyed Li Fei warily, this mysterious person.

He actually couldn't see through it, and that burst of battle qi just now got him excited.

"Don't look at me like that; although you were strong in life, you've only just awakened as a soul, so your power is limited. Although I'm only a one-star Battle King, my strength is strong, and suppressing you would still be easy."

Li Fei exuded a terrifying dragon's might, causing Yao Chen's soul to feel fear, as if encountering a natural nemesis, making him shudder.

"Moreover, I gave you a burst of battle qi to help you regain your strength sooner; I'm your benefactor, not your enemy." Li Fei said.

"That's correct; then what do you want to gain from me?" Yao Chen asked.

"I plan to create a force called the Azure Dragon Pavilion; I want you to join and become one of its elders."

Li Fei said.

"Well, let me think about it." Yao Chen showed a hesitant expression.

"Soon I will be able to break through to Battle Ancestor; I can forge a body for you and revive you."

"Xiao Yan can also come in; I have plenty of good resources here that I can provide for his rapid growth."

Li Fei said slowly.

This novel was already finished when the Douluo Universe ascended; the later plot of Battle Through the Heavens being written now is just extra content to fill last month's perfect attendance quota.

Moreover, after leaving Douluo, the popularity data of this novel plummeted, so I don't plan to write the later plot of Battle Through the Heavens.

Next, I will write a new book.

One of the new books: Douluo: Reincarnated as Hai Bo Dong, refreshed and exhilarated!
