Luo Feng looked up at the enormous Sky Wolf and grumbled, "Yes, I was playing you! But you were playing me as well!"
"How did I play you?" Sky Wolf roared. "I was exactly following the deal, which says I can test whether it's authentic or not! And you say I am playing you?"
"Do you really think I'm so stupid that I would allow you to connect to the virtual universe without the token? I still have a brain." Luo Feng smirked. "I bet you were trying to send the message to the demon race as a means of testing."
Sky Wolf was dazed.
"Publicizing a bounty mission in a virtual game with countless players is indeed a smart move," Luo Feng said coyly. "There might be some spies among the players, and there's no way for the system of the virtual universe to know who the spies are. Humph! You can send your message by this easily." Luo Feng looked at Sky Wolf with a baffling look. "If you had succeeded, my Scanner would have meant nothing to you, and you would have achieved your goal. However, you would still have the inheritance token. Do you think you would really give it to me at that point?"
"I always keep my promises," Sky Wolf answered in a hoarse voice.
"Nonsense," Luo Feng sniggered. "I would be a joke if I believed the promise of an enemy race."
Sky Wolf was stupefied and hesitant.
"Tell me, Sky Wolf, how can I trust you?" Luo Feng said, studying him.
Sky Wolf kept staring at the human in front of it. Sky Wolf, as a member of the royal demon race, was ruthless and cunning, and was the one in Ice Hell that perfectly manifested such characteristics. What was more, he was proficient in disguising himself. Still, even though he always acted kindly during the time he had been detained in Ice Hell, he did occasionally reveal his true self.
He was, indeed, luring the human with his token and trying to send the message in the name of testing. Once he got a response, it would mean the message was received, and it wouldn't matter even if the human took away the access authority. By then, he wouldn't have to give the human the inheritance token.
"What do you have in mind?" Sky Wolf said in a low voice.
"Since we've played all our cards, let's be honest with each other from now on," Luo Feng said, carefully watching Sky Wolf. "There's only one rule. You give me the token first—before I give you the Scanner!"
"No!" Sky Wolf roared. "What if you take the token and run away?"
"Haha! You, as the master of Southern Ice Hell, fear that I'll run away?" Luo Feng gazed at it.
"Who in Ice Hell doesn't know you're good at escaping?" Sky Wolf stared at Luo Feng with its blue eyes.
Luo Feng shook his head. "I'm indeed good at escaping, but you're an invincible emperor. I don't have any other ideas if you're not on board with this one—unless you can offer me one!"
Sky Wolf sat there, pondering for a long time. He couldn't think of anything else. He couldn't come up with anything that could gain the trust of this cunning but cautious human.
"I'll leave if you can't make a decision," Luo Feng said, shaking his head and smiling. "What's the point of having the token if you can never get out of Ice Hell?"
"Wait…" Sky Wolf gazed at Luo Feng with hesitation, then shouted, "Fine! I'll give you the token! But you must give me the access, and if it's still fake, I swear I'll have all the creatures in Ice Hell hunt you down!"
"Rest assured," Luo Feng said with a smile. "Have some faith in human's reputation."
"It's foolish to trust one's enemies," Sky Wolf growled and threw Luo Feng the token.
"So, you do know it's a foolish thing to do," said Luo Feng.
Luo Feng caught the token with his hands. The hexagonal tablet was heavy, and he could feel its extraordinary nature just by holding it. He was excited and thought to himself, I can trade it for another token, perhaps the one of special inheritance. This token is far superior to the inheritance of demon-note deified general, and maybe I can get an incredible reward.
"The access is granted," Luo Feng said to Sky Wolf.
"Yes, master," the female servant said with respect and connected to the virtual universe with her mind.
Luo Feng looked at her in silence, then connected to the virtual universe.
******
Virtual universe, the peak of Thunder Island, inside the palace of the Primal Chaos City Leader.
Luo Feng went to see the Primal Chaos City Leader right after he read the information of the ancestral god school and the token online. The interior of the palace permeated an air of chaos.
"Teacher," Luo Feng greeted with veneration.
The airflow conveyed the voice of the Primal Chaos City Leader. "What happened?"
"It's about the beast god token," Luo Feng said.
A figure covered with a golden cape walked out. The Primal Chaos City Leader looked serene, though there was a trace of surprise in his eyes. He was a bit irritated by how Luo Feng diverted his attention, but he had to admit that Luo Feng was indeed lucky.
Luo Feng once fought Hei Ti Emperor as Blade River Emperor in the outer-domain battlefield, which was a piece of widely spread news, and the Primal Chaos City Leader had known about it all along. Although Luo Feng turned off the synchronized transmittal of the virtual universe, lots of powerful ones among the human race had videotaped the battle.
The Primal Chaos City Leader was surprised that Luo Feng had fought Hei Ti Emperor as a sector lord in the first place, and then he noticed that the black balls were a series of treasures. Like the invaluable, there were different levels of treasures. Treasures could be rated by different functions; offensive treasures were not as precious as defensive ones, which were inferior to sealing ones. And different treasures came with different powers. Series of treasures were definitely top-tier. The seven blades owned by Seven Blade Emperor were a series of treasures.
"How did my student obtain the token right after he got the series?" the Primal Chaos City Leader asked, startled. The token was certainly as valuable as a series of treasures. The token stood for the chance to be in the Ancestral God School.
"Allow me to elaborate," Luo Feng answered.
"Please do," the Primal Chaos City Leader said.
"I went to Black Flower Secret Region this time," Luo Feng started to tell his stories without revealing his real intention, which was to find the black metal. "I didn't panic after being captured in Ice Hell, as my core is outside. I treat it as the practice field. Although the five invincible emperors are all mighty, I have some chances. The invincible emperors only have a few treasures, and defending treasures are scarce. I plan to train myself in Ice Hell, and once I've completed the third chapter of Nan Shen Seven move, I can exercise the second form of Sha Wu Wing, which can disturb space. By then, even universe knights won't be able to seal me, not to mention the invincible emperors in Ice Hell."
"Being the fastest one makes me undefeatable," Luo Feng went on. "I'm almost as powerful as them now. When I complete the third chapter and become stronger, I'll have no problem suppressing and severely injuring them. I bought a considerable number of treasures before, and I'll give the purple clock to one of the invincible emperors I might defeat and control in the future. As long as I have the defending treasure and an invincible emperor servant, I'm confident that I can defeat them one by one. This was my original plan, which was to train myself and defeat them one by one."
The Primal Chaos City Leader nodded. Luo Fen was, indeed, filled with aspirations, daring to fight invincible emperors as a sector lord. However, the invincible emperors could barely reach the threshold, as they had too few treasures and were rather inferior to the real ones like True Yan Emperor.
"However, I found this beast god token," Luo Feng said, and he briefly summarized the story of Sky Wolf. "If Sky Wolf buys my story, I can get the token without having to put up a fight. However, even if it knows more about my intentions, I'll try to get the token in the first place. I can't stand staying in Ice Hell for 10,000 years after seeing the token. I want to get out and go to the land of inheritance. I want to be stronger!"
Luo Feng added with reverence, "I can't get out unless I stay here for another 10,000 years. I need your help, teacher. Teacher… I'll have to give the Scanner to Sky Wolf if I want to get the token. My first plan is to escape after getting the token. Sky Wolf can't do anything, as I'm proficient in defending myself. The second plan is to let it connect to the virtual universe and send the message, after which the demon race will appear, and so will teacher. Would teacher give some advice? If teacher prefers neither of those options, I can wait here for another 10,000 years."
The Primal Chaos City Leader looked at Luo Feng and beamed. "I can see that your mind is fixated on the land of inheritance, and it will be tortuous for you to stay here," he said. "Let Sky Wolf send the message. Although it's an invincible emperor now, it was weak before, and the demon race won't believe everything it says. It's impossible for the demon race to send a Universe master."
"Even if it is a Universe master, I can overpower that," said Luo Feng.
"Get the token first, in case the demon race sends a Universe master to protect Sky Wolf," the Primal Chaos City Leader said. "The token is indeed valuable. My body is wandering in the universe these days and would slaughter for one of the invaluable. It's worth the effort to get a token."
"Yes," Luo Feng said. "Okay."
The Primal Chaos City Leader looked at Luo Feng expectantly. He felt that he was indeed lucky, and it would be a waste for him to spend 10,000 years in Ice Hell. If he went to the land of inheritance, he might encounter some other rewards. After all, Luo Feng kept pleasantly surprising him after becoming his student. The only thing that slightly bothered him was Luo Feng's choice to follow both the path of a spirit reader and that of a warrior.
