Chapter 78 The Conference Begins

  "Oh, I see the Sky Walker has this benefit too, okay." As he spoke, Du Fei's hands opened up with a clap, and lightning and flames appeared on his left and right palms respectively. The strong man was shocked beyond words.

  "How's this? Is it all right now?" Du Fei asked.

  "Heh heh, young hero, please wait a moment, put your palm on the age-testing stone to test whether your age meets the standard." The robust man said with a smile. Du Fei didn't say much after hearing the robust man's words, and pressed his palm onto a large white stone for a while. The robust man stared at Du Fei without blinking.

  "Alright, alright, young hero, you're of the right age. Take this, keep it safe, and when the time comes, use it to participate in the preliminary selection." The burly man handed Du Fei a copper token with the three large characters "Tian Xing Zhe".

  "Oh? So it's settled then? We'll just participate in the preliminary round directly?" Du Fei asked again.

  "That's right. This token is specially prepared for the Sky Walker, and as long as you hold it, you can directly participate in the preliminary selection. No need to go through that tedious primary selection." The strong man said with a smile.

  "Oh, okay, then I'll just go ahead and come back later?" Du Fei asked.

  "Alright, young hero, take your time." The robust man said with a smile.

  Du Fei walked out of the house, playing with the token in his hand. The crowd saw the token in Du Fei's hand and cast envious glances at him. After all, a Tian Xing Zhe was far superior to these ordinary Yuan Gong masters. But Du Fei didn't care about the gazes of the crowd, striding towards the tea shop where Zu Ji Tian was located.

  "How about it? Have you signed up?" asked Zu Ji Tian, looking at Du Fei.

  "Haha, what do you think? With my qualifications, how could I not be admitted? Look at this!" Du Fei proudly took out the copper plate that the strong man had given him earlier.

  "Wow, Jin San brothers are indeed heroes from their youth, I didn't expect you to be a Sky Walker. Admire, admire." Zu Ji Tian bowed his hands in congratulations.

  "Just stop spouting those flowery words in front of me, I'm getting goosebumps all over just listening to you. Be more casual." Du Fei pushed Zujitianshen out of the teahouse at this time, jogging slightly. "Jin San brothers slow down a bit!" Zujitianshen called out with a hint of panic, looking every inch the weak and bookish scholar...

  There are only a few days left before the conference opens, and in these few days, Du Fei and Zu Ji Tian have become closer and closer. Except for sleeping, they share a room, and when they go out, they are always together. Both of them have discovered that the other's personality and sincerity make them very happy to be with each other, and they get along very well. Du Fei is the type of person who is carefree and loves to laugh, while Zu Ji Tian is a quiet and gentle soul who is kind to others and has a easy-going personality. No matter how much Du Fei teases him, he can always accept it, and their contrasting personalities have become a perfect match.

  It was already late at night, and Du Fei lay alone in bed, taking out the wordless heavenly book and asking: "Hey, it's been a few days since we last met, are you okay?"

  "It's great without you bothering me, I'm actually enjoying a peaceful life, haha." Wrote Tian.

  "Look at you, that's all you're capable of." Du Fei looked at Wu Zi Tian Shu with contempt. "I'll ask you something, what do you think of the ancestors of the Tian people?"

  "You ask me, how would I know? You're the one interacting with others, not me. How am I supposed to know?" The Wordless Heavenly Book wrote.

  "It's useless to ask you," Du Fei said disdainfully.

  "The guy is also a Sky Walker, and his strength is definitely above yours, reaching the seventh level of Yuan condensation." The wordless heavenly book wrote. Du Fei saw that the words on the wordless heavenly book were also quickly crawling up, and exclaimed in surprise: "You're telling the truth, this guy is really not simple, he's only slightly stronger than me but already so powerful!" Du Fei's hand was dragging his chin as he sank into thought.

  "I think that Zuo Ji Tian is still a kind and gentle person, shouldn't be someone with ulterior motives, and I feel that his background isn't simple either." Wrote the Wordless Heavenly Book.

  "Never mind, don't think about it anymore. The competition is tomorrow, so get some rest now." Du Fei finished speaking and received the wordless heavenly book into his Dantian, starting to fall asleep. The next day was the Kontai Conference, but Du Fei didn't have any worries at all, he just buried his head and fell fast asleep.

  As the first rays of sunlight shone on the earth, Du Fei, who was sitting cross-legged, also slowly opened his eyes and stood up to stretch his waist. Du Fei still rested for about an hour, and the rest of the time was spent cultivating the Tianyuan Technique. Due to the lack of a place for actual combat, Du Fei had no choice but to extend his cultivation time and practice his formation techniques. At this point, Du Fei had already cultivated for three hours, and with renewed energy, he gazed out the window at the sun rising slowly.

  "Bang, bang, bang!" A loud knocking sound came from outside the door. It was Du Fei standing at Zu Ji Tian's door, banging on it fiercely. Before long, Du Fei heard a thudding sound coming from inside the room, and the door opened to reveal Zu Ji Tian wearing a crisp white robe, looking slightly disheveled as he smiled and said: "Heh heh, Brother Jin San, you're up really early, good morning."

  "Hey, what time is it? You're still sleeping. Let's go, we're leaving." Du Fei said as he pulled Zhu Ji Tian's hand and headed out. "Wait a minute, I don't think I'm dressed properly," Zhu Ji Tian said in a slightly rough tone, but his voice was still gentle. "Hehe, give me five minutes, I'll tidy up and come out. How about that?" Zhu Ji Tian asked with a humble expression.

  "Hurry up, how can a big man like you be so slow?" Du Fei said with his hands in his sleeves.

  "Hehe." Zujitian smiled, looking quite charming. This Zujitian was also one of the few people with a good temper, completely and utterly a bookworm, seeming weak and unable to withstand the wind, but apart from Du Fei believing that this guy's strength was formidable, probably anyone else who saw him would think he was an ordinary person. No matter what he said, his tone wouldn't be very loud, always speaking in a gentle and soft manner, extremely kind and benevolent, and accompanied by that charming smile, if any woman saw him, she would probably be enchanted to the point of being dizzy.

  Du Fei waited outside for about five minutes, and Zu Ji Tian also tidied up everything and walked out. The elegant and refined young scholar appeared in front of Du Fei again. Zu Ji Tian opened the folding fan in his hand and stretched out his hand: "Brother Jin San, please." Du Fei looked at Zu Ji Tian's appearance, shook his head, and ignored him, turning around to walk down the stairs.

  After the two finished their breakfast, they set off towards the venue where the Kontinental Convention was being held. The venue was located in a square at the city center, which was now surrounded by a thick layer of stone walls. The high walls stood tall on all four sides, reaching heights of tens of meters. Du Fei also looked up at the high walls and let out an exclamation: "Wow, this arena was built so quickly! And it's so big too! Just two days ago, I saw that the square was still empty, but now they've managed to build such a massive arena in just two days. Impressive!"

  "Heh, yes, Jin San brothers, we have to thank those earth-type controllers too. If it weren't for them, even if we had two years' time, let alone two days, we wouldn't be able to build such a magnificent arena." Zu Ji Tian also looked up at the arena in front of him.

  "Hey! You say that those earth-type controllers are good at building houses?" Du Fei said with a smile.

  "Haha, Jin San brothers really have good eyesight." Zu Ji Tian smiled and said.

  "Who's here with you?" Du Fei asked as he pushed Zujitian towards the entrance.

  "Slow down, slow down." Zu Ji Tian hastily shouted. The people around who came to watch the competition cast strange glances at the two's behavior.

  Du Fei directly participated in the preliminary round due to having a copper plate of that day's traveler, so he could only be an onlooker for the previous initial match. He came to the special area prepared for travelers like him and sat down. Zu Ji Tian also sat with Du Fei because they were friends. The arena was exceptionally magnificent, with four directions of seating, each capable of holding tens of thousands of people. In the center of the arena was a hundred-square-meter stage, divided into 81 regions by stone walls. From where Du Fei sat, he could see the situation inside the arena clearly. It was his first time seeing such a magnificent building, and his face was filled with excitement, like a wild man entering the city.

  In a short while, Du Fei was surrounded by people. Upon closer inspection, he found that the clothes of these people were all the same, and they were all neat and uniform. Du Fei couldn't help but be shocked, and asked Zujitian, who had a smile on his face: "Hey, what kind of people are these? Why do so many people wear the same clothes?"

  "Heh heh, Jin San brother, you don't know this, but these are all uniforms of the Dongyuan National Elemental Academy. They're all students from different branches of Dongyuan National Academy. If you don't believe me, take a closer look at the characters on their chests." Zujitian smiled as he looked at Du Fei.

  "Oh, really? Let me take a look." As he spoke, Du Fei turned his head to glance at the chests of some people behind him. He saw that everyone's chest had the words "Dongyuan" and then "Zhongde", with only the city name being different at the end.

  "It seems just like you said." Du Fei turned his head to look at Zu Ji Tian and said. "Right, isn't this the exclusive area of the Skywalkers?" Du Fei asked in surprise.

  "Really? What's wrong with you? They are also Skywalkers like you." Zujitian asked.

  "Oh, really? I didn't expect to see so many travelers all at once." Du Fei spoke as he turned his head again to count the number of people present. There were about fifty or sixty people in total. However, when he looked at those who were around his age, their faces all showed a proud and arrogant expression. This made Du Fei extremely displeased. Those people didn't put Du Fei in their eyes at all, looking at him and Zu Ji Tian as if they were watching a monkey show. Du Fei couldn't help but get angry, but Zu Ji Tian seemed to be completely unaware of the strange gazes from the crowd, smiling peacefully as he watched the opening ceremony...
