Chapter 61: Return to Mist Island
With a sweep of his spiritual force, Luo Fan immediately sensed Fang Xueyi practicing with her spear inside the training room.
He walked straight downstairs.
"Whoosh!"
"Swish!"
The long spear in Fang Xueyi's hands cut through the air with a fierce, whistling momentum.
"Hm?"
As soon as Luo Fan stepped down, Fang Xueyi noticed.
Her sharp gaze turned toward the doorway of the training room.
The moment she saw Luo Fan, her face instantly lit up with joy.
She ran over and leapt straight into his arms, immediately giving a long deep kiss.
After some while later, "Where have you been these past days?"
"I kept calling you, but you never answered."
"Ah Feng kept saying he had something important to discuss with you, something about Mist Island."
Fang Xueyi had clearly missed Luo Fan.
After all, even when they went out to the wilderness zone before, they would at least call each other to confirm their safety.
But this time, more than twenty days had passed without a word, by far the longest they had ever been apart.
It had left Fang Xueyi worried all this time.
If Luo Fan hadn't warned her beforehand, she might have already scoured the world looking for him.
Hearing Fang Xueyi's words, Luo Fan froze for a moment.
Luo Feng was looking for him?
And it had to do with Mist Island?
Could it be…
Babata had started distributing Mu Ya Crystals?
After planting a kiss on Fang Xueyi, Luo Fan carried her straight toward the door.
"Did Luo Feng tell you anything specific about Mist Island?"
Fang Xueyi shook her head at his question.
"No… Where are you taking me?"
She had thought Luo Fan was carrying her upstairs to discuss spear techniques.
But instead, Luo Fan was carrying her outside.
"We're going to take a look at Mist Island."
With star-level slaves by his side, Luo Fan wasn't worried at all, no one on Earth could possibly harm him now.
He carried Fang Xueyi like a princess directly into the spaceship.
"This is…"
"Why is this battleship so big?" Fang Xueyi asked curiously once she stepped inside.
Just then, several figures stepped out from another room.
"Master!"
Fang Xueyi was startled.
"These past days, I went somewhere else. They're my subordinates," Luo Fan explained.
"You four will be responsible for protecting her from now on."
That last sentence was directed at the female Guanghua tribe slaves.
Fang Xueyi was curious, but she didn't ask anything.
After all, there were outsiders present.
She planned to wait until they were home that night to ask.
Very soon, the spaceship reached the skies above Mist Island.
By now, the mist around Mist Island had already dissipated.
From the ship's screen, Luo Fan could see crowds gathered beside the lake.
From the thermal imaging, there were also quite a number of people inside the lake itself.
And the island that had once stood in the center of the lake had completely vanished!
"Guang One, Guang Two, stay hidden and guard us," Luo Fan ordered the two star-level ninth-rank spiritual force users, one male and one female.
"The rest of you stay in the spaceship."
Then, carrying Fang Xueyi in his arms, Luo Fan descended along with two Guanghua tribe slaves.
The moment Luo Fan touched down, countless eyes turned toward him.
Seeing Luo Fan and Guang One, Guang Two flying in midair without relying on any equipment, the crowd couldn't help but be surprised.
After all, Luo Fan had never been to the Palace of Wargods.
Not many people knew yet that Luo Fan had already reached the planetary level.
Some of the planetary-level fighters present watched Luo Fan's group with a wary gaze.
Luo Fan didn't head into the lake. Instead, he landed by the roadside.
There, he spotted members of the Extreme Martial Hall.
Yang Hui was among them.
"What's going on here?"
Seeing Luo Fan fly over and land before him, Yang Hui was momentarily stunned.
"Lord Luo Fan, didn't the Hall Master and Luo Feng tell you?"
Before Luo Fan could ask further, Yang Hui went on.
"About ten days ago, chaos broke out here."
"Several king-level beasts suddenly appeared in the lake."
"And among them, there was even a vine-type Beast Emperor."
"After satellites captured images of this place, the major powers of the world all sent people here."
"The Hall Master and the Second Speaker also came."
"The very first to arrive here, though, was your younger brother, Lord Luo Feng."
"Lord Luo Feng, before the Hall Master arrived, used his wargod-level strength to slay a king-level beast."
"After the Hall Master arrived, he personally killed the Beast Emperor."
(TL/N: King-level/Beast King equals to Planetary Stage 1 to 4, while Emperor-level/Beast Emperor equals to Planetary Stage 5 to 9 if anyone curious)
"Then, once all the king-level beasts were dealt with, everyone noticed the aroma of rice."
"Following the scent, the Hall Master discovered a Mu Ya Crystal."
"After that, countless strong experts from all over the world rushed here."
"Up until just a few hours ago, there were still people finding Mu Ya Crystals."
"A few lucky advanced wargods even managed to break through to councillor level (Planetary level) because of them."
"Lord Luo Feng also obtained a Mu Ya Crystal and immediately broke through."
Hearing this, Luo Fan instantly understood what had happened.
This had to be Babata luring people here.
His purpose was clearly to select the inheritor of Yunmo Planet.
What Luo Fan didn't expect was that after more than ten days, the choice still hadn't been made.
…
Just a few hours before Luo Fan arrived at Mist Island, more than ten thousand meters beneath the lake, inside Yunmo Planet's spaceship.
After breaking through to planetary level, Luo Feng had been searching Mist Island for Mu Ya Crystals.
He planned to find more so he could give some to his elder brother.
He had made many calls to Luo Fan.
But Luo Fan never answered.
It wasn't until he asked Fang Xueyi that Luo Feng learned Luo Fan was in seclusion.
But Fang Xueyi didn't know where Luo Fan was cultivating either.
So Luo Feng had no choice but to search for Mu Ya Crystals on his own.
All the while, Babata had been probing the brain capacity of Earth's strong fighters.
But he discovered that the highest belonged to Luo Feng, only reaching 22 after his breakthrough.
That was still inferior to Luo Fan.
So Babata had been waiting all this time for Luo Fan to arrive.
Yet Luo Fan never came.
Over these days, Babata had released several hundred Mu Ya Crystals.
After all, he had to keep releasing them until Luo Fan was drawn over.
But just a few hours earlier, after waiting for more than ten days, Babata grew impatient. He no longer intended to waste Mu Ya Crystals.
"Hmph, since you still haven't come after so long, that means you're not fated with my master."
"Then I'll take your younger brother as a disciple in your place!"
"And when the time comes, I'll tell you it should have been yours all along!"
"Hmph, you can regret it yourself then!"
Having made up his mind, Babata began guiding Luo Feng toward the entrance of Yunmo Planet's spaceship.
Next came the matter of making Luo Feng acknowledge a master.
After all, in Babata's eyes, once one reached the planetary level, Luo Fan's brain capacity of 26 and Luo Feng's 22 weren't all that different, both were just average.
Whether someone could become truly powerful depended not only on talent but also on resources.
Babata was confident he could cultivate Luo Feng up to the Domain Lord level.
Once Luo Feng entered Yunmo Planet's spaceship, not taking a master meant only death.
So he had no choice but to acknowledge one.
After the ceremony, Babata handed over the remaining Mo Yun Vine to Luo Feng, letting him establish ownership.
He also gave Luo Feng a space ring and the inheritance soul imprint.
When everything was settled and Babata was about to leave with Luo Feng, he suddenly noticed a few figures appear on the screen in front of him.
"He did this on purpose, didn't he? Waiting until Luo Feng finished taking a master before coming!"
