Chapter 1519: with translation of chapter title
Amid the merriment, Fang Yinuo also came downstairs.
Seeing everyone having a good time, she laughed and asked, "Are you planning to have fun at home all day?"
Xiao Feng replied, "It's not that I must stay at home; pool, beach, grass, woods—I can do any of them."
"Pah, you old rascal!" the girls laughed and scolded together.
Xu Xiaonian seized the chance to break free, tidied her dress, and sat on the farthest sofa.
Everyone gathered around, eating cool fruit.
"The sun is fierce outside; going out will easily get you tanned, so better stay home. We can invite Old Zhang and Old Li's families over to chat and eat, then go shopping together at night." Fang Yinuo proposed.
Actually, with their current physiques, a day of sun would definitely have no effect.
However, Xiao Feng didn't want to explain, and nodded: "Well, you're not very familiar with Sea Prefecture yet; this is a good chance to get acquainted."
The daytime is hot, so we'll stay in for now.
He picked up his phone to send a message to Old Zhang and Old Li.
Soon after, the two arrived at Xiao Feng's home, each with their girlfriend.
A crowd gathered, and the house instantly became much livelier.
Everyone were old acquaintances from the game, no awkwardness, all relaxed.
Su Ni busied herself preparing snacks and drinks for everyone; Xiao Feng took the opportunity to check each person's offline cultivation progress.
Since the first annual settlement and distribution of physical rewards, forty to fifty days have passed.
During this period, everyone has more or less set aside some time for cultivation.
However, due to talent limits, those like him who can multitask, cultivating offline nonstop while still playing online with ease, are ultimately few; they cannot just lie back and cultivate, only able to squeeze in effort when offline.
Thus, the improvement in physique is not particularly noticeable; there is still a certain gap to transcendent.
As the saying goes, three women make a drama; now seven women together aren't just a play but a whole serial!
They can chat from meals to hair care, from scenery to where they'll retire, from age to certain celebrities.
The three men hardly got a word in; seeing the women chatting happily, they simply fetched a set of fishing gear and went to the seaside to fish together.
At high noon, the three came to a dyke, and with unskilled technique cast their lines, waiting for sea fish to bite.
Zhang Fan sighed, "I haven't relaxed like this in ages; last time I went to a vacation island I still played games at night, but today is a thorough forced holiday."
Li Li fiddled with the bait, hearing this he smiled and said, "Just one day is still a bit short; if I could rest three to five days, I'd take my partner back to my hometown."
"Mm, I have that thought too," Xiao Feng echoed.
Zhang Fan joked, "You'd need a seven-seat business vehicle to fit all that."
"Uh..."
Xiao Feng's old face turned red.
Upon mentioning this, Li Li suddenly felt moved, gazing ahead and said, "Speaking of which, we're no longer ordinary people. Especially Old Xiao, all nations of Blue Star must give you face; marrying several more would meet no opposition. Such a life would have been unimaginable before."
Xiao Feng sighed softly: "I once thought I was a straight-as-steel man..."
Now looking back, tsk!
Purely an old lecher!
Zhang Fan laughed: "Being a straight-as-steel man doesn't mean you don't like women; there's nothing wrong with that. It's just… uh, don't let the back courtyard catch fire, and don't die young."
"Eh, not that serious, let's talk about something else—this is awkward." Xiao Feng scratched his head.
"By the way, we're almost level 475; soon the catch-up bonus will end—will leveling get tough afterward?"
Li Li raised a question.
Xiao Feng spent that last period cultivating at the Myriad Phenomena Heavenly Pool, so he's not entirely sure how long cultivation takes in the Divine Realm.
He replied: "Your strength is actually enough to stand firm in the Myriad Heavens Battlefield; after finishing the monthly dungeons, you can use your free time to go there and test your cultivation results. I can grant you membership access to the Azure Moon Grotto Heaven; then find a thatched cottage, where cultivation speeds up twentyfold—should be quite good."
"Thatched cottage? What's that?" Neither of them knew.
Xiao Feng explained the structure of the Azure Moon Grotto Heaven.
After hearing it, both felt some anticipation.
"By the way, how far have you come in comprehending the laws?" Xiao Feng recalled another key question.
Zhang Fan replied: "I've comprehended the Slaughter Law; its body-tempering effect is quite good, but growth is a bit hard; after a year I only have 66 law comprehension points."
"Not bad; the Slaughter Law seems to be a primal law, the highest tier." Xiao Feng nodded slightly.
He remembered Qian Sha saying that the overlord of the Evil Realm controls the Slaughter Rule.
Li Li said: "I've comprehended the Moonlight Law; I now have 163 points, though its body-tempering effect isn't as good as Old Zhang's."
"Moonlight… that should be a branch of the Stellar Rule, medium quality." Xiao Feng mused.
The Moonlight Force is a variant of Stellar Force; it lacks fierce explosion, instead offering gentle purification with healing ability.
This law is well suited for the priest class, and its comprehension difficulty is also somewhat lower.
In fact, reckoning it up, the two's law comprehension progress is already quite fast.
If Xiao Feng doesn't count consuming spirit essence, his fire element law comprehension is only thirty-odd points.
A major reason is that he spent time in the Myriad Heavens Battlefield that is nine times less than others', cutting into his comprehension time.
But it also shows that Old Zhang and Old Li have decent talent in their respective laws.
To break through to become a major god, one only needs to comprehend the law; the numerical value doesn't matter.
Given their current law comprehension, once their level is sufficient they can basically break through directly.
As for willpower, thanks to ample time, they'll also be able to meet the standard then.
"I truly look forward to the myriad races' contention in the Myriad Heavens Battlefield..."
Zhang Fan said with some longing.
In the Elemental Divine Realm, there really aren't any opponents left.
The blue‑sky world can only suppress the Blue Star war zone because there are too many people; the elite team clashes head‑on, and even without Xiao Feng, Blue Star can still win.
After all, so many primeval inheritances are no laughing matter; now there are quite a few who have mastered 3rd‑rank secret arts, and equipment quality is far ahead.
"Train hard and level up; when I have free time I'll take you to the Martial God Temple to have a look—you might even become a successor of the Martial God." Xiao Feng said.
Shortly after returning to Yuan Su Shen Yu, he had mentioned to his friends the matter of the Martial God Temple's ruins, and many close‑combat players were very interested.
However, the place is really too far, so it cannot be reached in a short time.
Furthermore, the trial of the Martial God Temple also requires becoming a main god to attempt; if one's strength is insufficient, going in is useless, and one can't even manage mountain climbing.
Both of them are full of motivation to level up, wanting to go to the Myriad Heavens Battlefield as soon as possible to fight side by side with Xiao Feng.
Unbeknownst to them, half an hour passed.
The three people's fishing rods showed no movement; instead, the seawater kept drifting farther away.
They embarrassedly discovered that it seemed to be low tide; originally the sea level was less than 2 meters away from them, but now it was four or five meters.
"No wonder we can't catch any fish… No way, we can't go back empty‑handed; I'll go down and catch two!" Li Li reeled in his fishing rod, took off his upper garment, and jumped straight into the sea.
Just now, when they left the house, they had told the girls at home that they would catch fish to bring back for dinner.
If we come back with nothing, wouldn't that be losing all face as men?
Real men never go out empty‑handed!
Xiao Feng and Zhang Fan exchanged a glance and decisively jumped down as well.
