Chapter 7 It's show time
The rainy season that can't be escaped, the summer that can't be forgotten.
The vehicles speeding by on the roadside, the raindrops falling on the ground, the surrounding noise, the irrigation the grass receives, all indicate another tenacious green plant breaking through the soil.
"It's raining."
Jin Feichen stood on the Dead Pool, extended a hand, and felt the weight of the raindrops falling.
Rumble!
Lightning flashed, followed closely by thunder.
The students who had arrived one after another to watch the excitement kept whispering.
"Why did it suddenly start raining? It's faster than my partner changing their mood."
"It's the rainy season, unavoidable."
"As long as I can witness the splendor of a Huan Level Heavenly Object, I wouldn't care even if money rained from the sky."
"Same here."
"Huh? Where's Zhao Ming? Why don't I see him?"
"Wasn't he just walking in front of us? Why is he gone now?"
"There!"
"Look quickly, what is he holding?"
"Life-and-Death Contract!"
Everyone retreated, clearing a path in the middle.
Zhao Ming, holding two earth-colored papers, walked over with confident strides, his gaze firm, looking directly at Jin Feichen on the stage.
"Dare to sign?"
Zhao Ming threw one of the earth-colored papers in his hand and added.
This earth-colored paper is a Life-and-Death Contract. Anyone who steps onto the Dead Pool can apply. If both parties subjectively sign it, the contract takes effect. Fists and feet have no eyes, life and death are decided here, and it is recognized by the Great Xia official authorities.
Jin Feichen steadily caught the Life-and-Death Contract, and couldn't help but smile after seeing the content. He pressed one hand on it, then threw it back.
"Thank you."
"Thank me?" Zhao Ming was clearly stunned hearing the sudden thanks, then sneered: "That's right, you really should thank me, after all, I'll be sending you to meet your parents whom you've never met before long."
He waved his hand and pressed it onto the other Life-and-Death Contract. Instantly, the two earth-colored papers emitted a faint light, floating towards the space directly above the Dead Pool, gently swaying.
This signifies that the contract has taken effect. Their lives on this Dead Pool will no longer be protected by law, but depend on themselves.
"It's starting, it's starting!"
"They're both really tough, they just signed this old Life-and-Death Contract?"
"Even clicking 'ignore risk and install' isn't as quick as these two."
In the crowd, Li Ya, who stood out from the rest, watched the two on stage with deep eyes. The rain-soaked strands of hair stuck to her cheeks, adding a touch of beauty. The raindrops fell calmly, but her Heart was not so.
At the very back, Hu Zhu didn't know where he had moved a chair from. He sat firmly, crossing his legs, and watched the stage with amusement.
What was surprising was that the rain, which usually paid no heed to anyone's face, miraculously avoided him. Even standing under the heavy rain, Hu Zhu's clothes remained normal.
On the Dead Pool, a spear sound echoed. Zhao Ming summoned his Heavenly Object, performed a spear flourish, and began circling Jin Feichen.
"You really surprise me."
"What aspect are you referring to? Is it that I'm taller than you?"
Jin Feichen still had that lazy look, responding lazily as if he hadn't woken up yet. He remained unperturbed by Zhao Ming's movements.
"Huan Level, truly an amazing Heavenly Object, but it should end here now." Zhao Ming said, then suddenly smiled mockingly: "Perhaps you should thank your last bit of luck for allowing you to awaken a Huan Level Heavenly Object before you die."
"No, no, no, what I should thank is compulsory education, otherwise I'd probably be fighting in the canyon right now." Jin Feichen said, and then spoke again, "But speaking of which, after I awakened a Huan Level Heavenly Object, you still continued to invite me onto the Dead Pool. This is something I didn't expect. Don't you know my importance to this World?"
Swish!
When Zhao Ming walked behind Jin Feichen, he suddenly thrust his spear, aiming directly at the latter's head.
Jin Feichen easily dodged without turning his head, then turned and struck like lightning, grabbing the spear with one hand, "Hey, I was asking you a question, it's very impolite of you to do this."
"Hmph, all I want is to defeat you in front of countless eyes!" Zhao Ming took a step forward, his Destiny Realm fourth stage cultivation erupted, Spirit power flowed from his feet directly to the ground, and suddenly exploded beneath Jin Feichen's feet.
"And then make those who want to protect you have no choice but to break the rules to save you. I want you, who awakened a Huan Level, to receive the greatest ridicule!"
Boom!!
The ground exploded. Jin Feichen used the impact to flip in the air, then landed steadily.
"I understand." His lazy expression disappeared, replaced by a faint smile, "You're not stupid. This method allows you to retreat unharmed and make me lose face. If this matter gets out, your Zhao Family will also enter the public eye. At that time, not only will I be unable to use my influence against your Zhao Family, but on the contrary, I will have to protect them well. Once something happens to you, everyone will think I'm vengeful and wicked."
"It's a good plan, but it's a pity. Why do you think I must be weaker than you?"
Jin Feichen suddenly raised his left hand. The black dao pattern had appeared quietly at some point. He slowly made a snapping motion with his fingers and suddenly spoke, "Do you know? The name of my Si Ming Heavenly Object is 'Final Sequence Garden', but compared to that, I prefer to call it 'Magic Hand'. Do you know why?"
Zhao Ming watched his movements and became vigilant, raising his spear in a defensive posture, "What nonsense are you talking about?"
"Forget it, acting is more intuitive." Jin Feichen laughed loudly, then slowly rubbed his fingertips together, "It's show time."
Snap!
Boom!!
Only a crisp sound was heard. Under Zhao Ming's bewildered gaze, the spear in his hand suddenly exploded, turning into a flower sea that surrounded him.
Before he could react, a strong sense of unease suddenly arose in his Heart. He didn't dare to hesitate and quickly dodged sideways.
Swish—
And just as he dodged sideways, a silver-white card flashing with chilling light had already broken through the flower sea at some point, suddenly appearing and grazing his throat.
"The Mofu Spear turned into petals?! This ability is what Jin Feichen displayed in the Awakening room, but when did he..."
Zhao Ming's voice paused. The scene where Jin Feichen just held his spear and complained about him ignoring him flashed before his eyes.
"At that time already... Damn it!"
But luckily, Jin Feichen's ability wasn't damage, just transformation into petals. Otherwise, he would have definitely suffered a Heavenly Object backlash.
Zhao Ming consumed Spirit power and summoned his Heavenly Object again. He swung his spear, preparing to use the shock force of the Spirit power to shatter all the petals.
However, just then, his ears twitched.
"Wait... the sound of raindrops is gone."
Swish!
The spear swept back. Jin Feichen behind Zhao Ming was forced back by this strike.
"Wow, that's amazing. Your five senses are actually sharp enough to detect the Flow of raindrops."
Jin Feichen caught the card that flew back and praised him, but his tone was more like mockery, which was unpleasant.
"I'm already at Destiny Realm fourth stage, do you think I'm the same as you?"
Zhao Ming noticed the shocked gazes of the crowd below the stage and instantly felt confident again, even straightening his back further.
"That is indeed different." Jin Feichen unexpectedly nodded, then his eyes curved into a smile, "After all, I'm sixth stage."
The next moment, his cultivation was no longer hidden. The Aura of Destiny Realm sixth stage suddenly surged out from within him like a tide!
In an instant, the entire World seemed to have been muted, falling into a deathly silence.
