Chapter 288: Chapter 220: Two Great Star Masters (Extra 20)
That was a very normal standard within the Flying Heaven Realm.
After all, in most cases, when Flying Heaven Warriors mentioned peak Flying Heaven experts, they were usually referring to Level 35 martial artists.
At the Flying Heaven level, the gap in strength between each level was very large.
As for those above Level 36? They were not normally achievable within the Flying Heaven Realm and required extremely harsh foundational requirements.
"Haha, it\'s such a pity that I didn\'t kill you back then," Number Three suddenly laughed ferociously. "Especially the third assassination attempt, just a little bit more, and if Bai Shan hadn\'t arrived in time, you would have been dead for sure."
"Just a little bit," Number Three thought with unwillingness.
Decades ago, the most dazzling talent in the entire Blue Star and the Seven Star human civilization was Fang Hai.
As the most terrifying assassin of the Tianliang Clan infiltrated within Blue Star, he had struck multiple times.
Even risking assassination under the protection of a demigod, he failed.
The third assassination attempt cost him his Blood Shadow Incarnation, but he still managed to retreat safely, just never getting another chance to assassinate Fang Hai.
Because, after the third attempt, by the time he had cultivated another Blood Shadow Incarnation, Fang Hai had already entered the Flying Heaven Level.
Fang Hai looked at his opponent calmly, not the least bit angry.
"I can sense that you are still at the Flying Heaven Level," Number Three stared intently at Fang Hai. "At the Flying Heaven Level, yet you have grasped a trace of the Law\'s mystery... Your talent is truly unbelievable."
"The Seven Star human civilization has always propagated that you were trapped at the Flying Heaven Peak, but somehow, you have already reached this stage."
He felt some hatred in his heart.
If he was already so formidable at the Flying Heaven Level, what if he broke through to become a Demigod? With a stronger foundation and further comprehension of the Mystery of Heaven and Earth... How strong would he become? Number Three dared not even imagine.
He could vaguely see that another terrifying existence, comparable to Dongfang Ji, was rising.
And Fang Hai, so powerful yet deliberately not breaking through, what was he waiting for?
Number Three couldn\'t figure it out.
"When I was a Prime Warrior, you couldn\'t kill me," Fang Hai said faintly. "Now? My strength is not something you can fathom."
"You indeed are formidable," Number Three stared at Fang Hai, his voice hoarse. "Tell me, how did you track me down?"
This was his biggest confusion.
His Blood Shadow Incarnation had died, and he thought he fled at the first opportunity. How did Fang Hai, a Flying Heaven martial artist, manage it?
"No need to ask more," Fang Hai said faintly.
Although he had captured his opponent, Fang Hai had no intention of revealing his secrets; there might still be ways for his opponent to send messages.
A strange smile appeared on Number Three\'s face: "Back then, even Bai Shan Semi-Divine couldn\'t track me, but you could... You must have cultivated some kind of tracking Star Technique with an extremely terrifying perception."
"Haha, I\'m certainly going to die," he said.
"But Blue Star, as well as the entire Seven Star human civilization, will definitely be annihilated by us," Number Three suddenly laughed out loud.
Laughing.
"Boom~" A terrifying fluctuation suddenly exploded from within him, fierce and surging Origin Power roared, and then blasted out in all directions.
The ropes that were originally binding Number Three couldn\'t withstand such a terrible shock at all.
Whoosh!
"Origin Pill self-destruction?" Fang Hai frowned slightly and instantly retreated backwards, following the terrifying Origin Power shockwave that swept out like a storm in all directions.
A tremendous shockwave also headed straight for Fang Hai.
"Suppress!" Fang Hai pointed from afar.
Rustle, rustle~ Countless raindrops appeared out of nowhere. In an instant, they condensed into an invisible giant hand that protected Fang Hai.
"Rumble!"
It was like the explosion of a small nuclear bomb; the whole world thunderously exploded, and the terrible impact covered several kilometers, the shockwave sweeping even further.
Fang Hai was also engulfed.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! The sky clouded over with threatening rain, which then poured down like a deluge.
Not long after.
On the desolate plain, everything quieted down.
Except for a big crater at the original spot, and the shockwave traveling in all directions... It seemed as though nothing had happened.
Who could have thought.
A powerful Flying Heaven Warrior had just perished here.
"Indeed a decisive move,"
"I intended to be patient and talk until Bai Shan arrived," Fang Hai still stood in the same spot, frowning slightly.
The Flying Heaven Level self-destruction couldn\'t hurt him, it didn\'t even dirty his clothes.
Though his realm was profound, he was only in the Flying Heaven Realm after all; he couldn\'t seal the Origin Pill of a Flying Heaven Warrior.
In short, if a Flying Heaven Warrior wanted to self-destruct in front of him, he couldn\'t stop it.
Of course.
If Fang Hai had been decisive enough just now and immediately decapitated his opponent, Number Three wouldn\'t have been able to self-destruct either.
Fang Hai waited quietly in place, waving his hand. Many weapons lying on the ground fell into his hand.
"There are some treasures," Fang Hai glanced over them briefly and paid no further attention.
More than ten minutes later.
Whoosh!
A flash of white light appeared, and as the light solidified, an old man in white stood nearby; it was the Star Lord Bai Shan, who had interacted with Fang Hai before.
"Is he dead?" Star Lord Bai Shan looked around.
"He\'s dead. He wanted to self-destruct his Origin Pill, and I couldn\'t stop it," Fang Hai said faintly. "You\'re too slow."
"I rushed as fast as I could, arriving at the earliest moment," Bai Shan glared.
Fang Hai smiled.
He knew that the other party had been speeding over.
"Did you gain anything?" Star Lord Bai Shan asked.
"Isn\'t killing the Infiltrator the biggest gain? As for the rest, as a top-notch Infiltrator, he wouldn\'t leave too many clues," Fang Hai said softly.
"Killing him is worth the many years I\'ve lain hidden."
"Yes, this was the only opportunity," Star Lord Bai Shan nodded. "Although I don\'t know if the Infiltrator sent the message back, even if he didn\'t... it\'s enough for the Tianliang Clan to deduce many secrets."
"Let them guess," Fang Hai said indifferently.
Fang Hai and Star Lord Bai Shan had nothing to regret.
Killing the Infiltrator and removing such a deeply embedded thorn from Xia Country and Blue Star was success enough.
Whether it was the Tianliang Clan.
Or for other Foreign Civilizations to produce a similar Flying Heaven Level assassin, it would also be extremely difficult.
Now that the Shadow is dead, not only Xia Country, but also the upper echelons of various countries across Blue Star can breathe a sigh of relief.
In the past decades, Fang Hai had been concealing his strength and even whereabouts, just to prepare a Killing Formation at the right moment.
Even before that.
Many Flying Heaven Warriors didn\'t even know that the Dean of Kunlun Martial University was the Starfire Blue Star Hall Master.
"Go see Li Yuan,"
said Star Lord Bai Shan. "Using him as bait for the setup without informing him in detail, you should still comfort him a bit to prevent any untoward thoughts from arising in his mind."
"As a member of the Seven Star Civilization, one should have such awareness," Fang Hai shook his head gently. "How many things can be fully explained?"
"When it comes to geniuses, after all, they are treated differently," laughed Star Lord Bai Shan.
"There\'s nothing different," said Fang Hai indifferently. "When he takes your place, he will do the same."
Star Lord Bai Shan smiled and said no more.
This time, the Killing Formation would definitely involve Li Yuan taking risks, including promotion and making public appearances.
This was an open secret.
It was to tell Alien Civilizations that indeed, here was a top-grade talent, and you have a great chance to assassinate him, and moreover, this is a trap.
So.
These Alien Civilizations either do nothing, and as soon as they consider taking action, they can only deploy their most top-grade infiltrating combatants to have any hope of a successful assassination.
Therefore, Number Three came.
Having escaped from a Demi-God\'s hands on several successful occasions, Number Three had sufficient confidence.
In fact, had Fang Hai not been there, Number Three would still have been able to escape unscathed… what a pity!
Fang Hai, this once targeted assassin, after decades had passed, now stood at an exceedingly high level, capable of supporting a sky for the entire human civilization of the Seven Stars.
"Let\'s go."
"Li Yuan has entered the intermediate rank of the Fifth Stage and is also comprehending \'Meaning of the Stellar,\'" said Fang Hai indifferently. "As the founder of this Secret Manual, you should meet him. You\'re more suitable to guide his cultivation than I am."
"Alright," Star Lord Bai Shan nodded.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The two Star Lords quickly headed toward Kunlun Martial University.
...
Kunlun Martial University.
Dean Hai and a woman in white were still inside Li Yuan\'s villa.
Li Yang had also arrived.
The previous celestial phenomenon at the school flashed by and went unnoticed by anyone other than a few Flying Heaven Warriors, and a select number of Top Grade Origin Martial Artists like Li Yang… other teachers and students didn\'t detect anything.
When top-tier fighters clash, unless it\'s intentionally done so, or their strengths are so close that the battle becomes uncontrollable,
usually, the power is extremely focused, and the resulting disturbances are smaller.
Li Yang cautiously waited at the side.
Li Yuan was chatting with Dean Hai, mainly listening while the Dean spoke.
Through the conversation, Li Yuan learned many secrets he had never known before.
These were things never revealed on the virtual networks.
Not even found in the database of the Starfire Martial Hall… of course, it might also be that Li Yuan\'s clearance wasn\'t high enough.
Suddenly.
"Hmm?" Li Yuan sensed something; Dean Hai and the woman in white both looked up.
Whirr~
A figure in black quietly appeared in the void above them.
His features were rugged, and at first glance, he looked like a young man in his late twenties, but his eyes were very profound.
"Dean," said Dean Hai in a situation where it was inappropriate to call him Old Fang.
"Dean," the woman in white, Li Yuan, and Li Yang all bowed slightly, very respectfully.
"You all stay here."
"Li Yuan, come with me," said the young man in black indifferently, looking down at everyone.
As he spoke, he turned and flew toward the high sky.
Li Yuan was stunned at this scene.
How can I follow? I can\'t fly!
The next second.
Whirr~
An invisible force suddenly enveloped Li Yuan and swiftly carried him towards the high sky.
This force seemed gentle, yet it was overwhelmingly powerful, something Li Yuan couldn\'t possibly resist.
Whiz! Whiz!
The man in black took Li Yuan soaring into the sky, and as they reached high altitude, the light around both of them faintly warped and they vanished from the sight of Li Yang, Dean Hai, and the others.
"Dean, where did the Dean take Li Yuan?" Li Yang couldn\'t help but ask.
"He should be going to the Dean\'s office," Dean Hai said.
"The Dean\'s office?" Li Yang was startled, suddenly recalling that there was no such office in the entire school.
Could it be that the Dean\'s office is in the sky?
"Don\'t ask too many questions," Dean Hai glanced at Li Yang. "Focus on your cultivation, and once you become a Flying Heaven Warrior and take my place, you\'ll naturally find out where the Dean\'s office is."
Li Yang fell silent.
...
"This place? Such a huge flying saucer craft?" Li Yuan looked around in astonishment.
No matter what, Li Yuan had never imagined that such a massive flying vessel existed above the school.
Standing in the campus, one simply couldn\'t see this vessel.
He and the man in black were now standing on top of the craft, which had an extended platform.
Without thinking much, Li Yuan\'s gaze involuntarily fell on the elder in white not far away.
The elder wore a smile, appearing quite amiable.
But!!
Li Yuan\'s heart trembled, for the elder\'s appearance... was all too familiar.
Li Yuan had seen him countless times, even having the elder\'s commemorative statue in his home.
"Are you... Senior Bai Shan?" Li Yuan couldn\'t help but ask.
