“ hēng ， zhāng zhì liáng 。”
“哼，张志良。”
"Hmph, Zhang Ziliang."
“ zhè bǐ zhàng ， wǒ chí zǎo yào gēn nǐ suàn 。”
“这笔账，我迟早要跟你算。”
"I'll settle this score with you sooner or later."
yè fēi péng de yǎn zhōng shǎn guò yī sī xiōng hěn hé jì dàn zhī sè 。
叶飞鹏的眼中闪过一丝凶狠和忌惮之色。
A hint of ferocity and trepidation flashed in Ye Feipeng's eyes.
“ cǐ shì duō le xǔ duō biàn shù ， kě néng gēn wǒ shàng yī shì de jīng lì huì yǒu yī xiē chā bié 。”
“此世多了许多变数，可能跟我上一世的经历会有一些差别。”
"This world has many more variables. There might be some differences compared to my previous life."
“ dàn wǒ gǎn kěn dìng ， zhāng zhì liáng jué duì bú huì fàng qì bǔ liè tiān dì zhī pò de jī huì 。”
“但我敢肯定，张志良绝对不会放弃捕猎天地之魄的机会。”
"But I'm certain that Zhang Ziliang will never give up the opportunity to hunt for the essence of heaven and earth."
“ jìn shēng huà shén zhī hòu ， yǒu le zhèng shì cān yù jué zhú de shí lì ， tā duì yú hé dào de kě wàng ， yīng dāng gèng jiā qiáng liè 。”
“晋升化神之后，有了正式参与角逐的实力，他对于合道的渴望，应当更加强烈。”
"After ascending to the realm of transformation, he should have a stronger desire to achieve union with dao."
xiǎo pàng zi àn zì fèn xī zhe 。
小胖子暗自分析着。
The plump man pondered silently.
“ rú guǒ shuō shàng yī shì ， tā zhǐ shì zuò wéi zhèn fǎ dà shī yī páng fǔ zhù de huà 。”
“如果说上一世，他只是作为阵法大师一旁辅助的话。”
"If in the last life, he was just an assistant to the array master,"
“ nà me zhè yī shì ， zhāng zhì liáng jiù yī yuè ér chéng le wéi liè de zhǔ yào zhàn lì 。”
“那么这一世，张志良就一跃而成了围猎的主要战力。”
"Then in this life, Zhang Ziliang has become the main combat force for the hunt."
“ ń …… wǒ xiǎng xiǎng ， rú guǒ kě néng de huà ， tā shèn zhì huì àn zhōng yǐn cáng shí lì 。 xiān zuò shì yī zhòng huà shén hé chì yán huǒ pīn 。”
“嗯……我想想，如果可能的话，他甚至会暗中隐藏实力。先坐视一众化神和赤炎火拼。”
"Mmm... Let me think. If possible, he might even hide his strength secretly and watch as the transformation realm and Crimson Flame clash."
“ děng dào shuāng fāng liǎng bài jù shāng zhī jì ， zài chū shǒu shōu gē ， zuò shōu yú wēng zhī lì 。”
“等到双方两败俱伤之际，再出手收割，坐收渔翁之利。”
"When both sides are exhausted, he can strike and reap the benefits like a vulture."
“ shèn zhì hái huì liú yī fēn lì ， dī fáng zhe táo chū qù bù zhī suǒ zōng de wǒ ……”
“甚至还会留一分力，提防着逃出去不知所踪的我……”
"He might also save some of his strength to guard against my escape..."
yè fēi péng liǎn shàng yīn qíng bù dìng 。
叶飞鹏脸上阴晴不定。
Ye Feipeng's expression was unpredictable.
shuō shí huà ， guān yú jiē xià lái hái yào bù yào cān yù jìn chì yán fén hǎi de dà shì jiàn zhōng ， tā de xīn zhōng hái shì yǒu xiē yóu yù de 。
说实话，关于接下来还要不要参与进赤炎焚海的大事件中，他的心中还是有些犹豫的。
To be honest, about whether or not to join in the Great Burning Sea event, Ye Feipeng still had some hesitation.
bì jìng rú jīn zì jǐ yǐ jīng jué xǐng le kūn péng chuán chéng ， gèng yǒu cāng hǎi zhū hé qīng fēng zhēn yì shuāng chóng dào jī 。
毕竟如今自己已经觉醒了鲲鹏传承，更有沧海珠和青风真意双重道基。
After all, he had awakened the Kunpeng legacy and possessed both the Pearl of the Vast Sea and the True Intent of Green Breeze as dual dao foundations. He was far stronger than most cultivators and even comparable to some prodigies.
bǐ qǐ jué dà duō shù de xiū shì ， dōu yào qiáng shàng tài duō 。
比起绝大多数的修士，都要强上太多。
Even if he gave up on the opportunity to achieve union with Crimson Flame, relying solely on his own cultivation, there was a high chance that he could reach the realm of yuan婴 or transformation realm.
shèn zhì yǔ yī xiē tiān jiāo xiāng bǐ ， yě bú huì ruò shàng duō shǎo 。
甚至与一些天骄相比，也不会弱上多少。
Why take such a big risk when he could just compete for resources in front of so many transformation realm cultivators?
jiù suàn fàng qì yòng chì yán hé dào de jī huì ， zhǐ kào zì shēn xiū xíng ， hěn dà gài lǜ yě shì yuán yīng 、 huà shén yǒu wàng 。
就算放弃用赤炎合道的机会，只靠自身修行，很大概率也是元婴、化神有望。
If it worked out well, then fine. But if not...
hé bì yào mào rú cǐ dà de fēng xiǎn ， xuǎn zé zài yī duī huà shén miàn qián hǔ kǒu duó shí ne ？
何必要冒如此大的风险，选择在一堆化神面前虎口夺食呢？
Ye Feipeng's face twitched.
ruò shì chéng le hái hǎo shuō ， ruò shì bù chéng ……
若是成了还好说，若是不成……
"But... That is union with dao."
yè fēi péng de liǎn chōu le chōu 。
叶飞鹏的脸抽了抽。
"Missing this chance might mean never having another like it again."
“ dàn …… nà bì jìng shì hé dào a 。”
“但……那毕竟是合道啊。”
He thought to himself.
“ cuò guò zhè yī cì ， shuō bù dìng yǐ hòu zài yě méi yǒu rú cǐ liáng jī le 。”
“错过这一次，说不定以后再也没有如此良机了。”
The image of Zhang Haobo achieving union with dao and dominating a state flashed in his mind.
tā xīn zhōng yòu bù jīn zhè me xiǎng dào 。
他心中又不禁这么想到。
Ye Feipeng couldn't help but feel a bit tempted.
jì yì zhōng shàng yī shì zhāng hào bō hé dào zhī hòu ， wēi yā yī zhōu 、 fǔ kàn zhòng shēng de huà miàn ， zài cì fú xiàn zài tā de yǎn qián 。
记忆中上一世张浩波合道之后，威压一州、俯瞰众生的画面，再次浮现在他的眼前。
"Pearl of the Vast Sea..."
yè fēi péng yòu bù kě bì miǎn de yǒu xiē xīn dòng 。
叶飞鹏又不可避免的有些心动。
Subconsciously, he touched his belly. The plump man's expression was conflicted.
“ cāng hǎi zhū ……”
“沧海珠……”
"Let me think... Let me think..."
xià yì shí de mō le mō zì jǐ de dǔ zi ， pàng zi miàn sè jiū jié 。
下意识的摸了摸自己的肚子，胖子面色纠结。
"First, I'll head back to the荒岛 and see how Xiao Heng is doing."
“ zài kàn kàn ， zài kàn kàn ……”
“再看看，再看看……”
Withdrawing his wings behind him, Ye Feipeng quietly returned to where the others were gathered.
“ xiān huí huāng dǎo ， kàn kàn xiāo héng tā men xiàn zài zěn me yàng le 。”
“先回荒岛，看看萧恒他们现在怎么样了。”
The plump man had been missing for six years. Visions of Xiao Heng's joyous welcome filled him with delight.
jiāng bèi hòu chì bǎng shōu huí ， yè fēi péng qiāo qiāo fǎn huí le lí jiè zhòng rén suǒ zài dì 。
将背后翅膀收回，叶飞鹏悄悄返回了离界众人所在地。
After a round of questioning, they learned that it was indeed the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance who did this. Everyone cursed loudly.
shī zōng le liù nián de pàng zi zài cì chū xiàn ， xiāo héng děng rén zì shì xǐ chū wàng wài 。
失踪了六年的胖子再次出现，萧恒等人自是喜出望外。
However, Su Changyu frowned and asked, "Feipeng, have you revealed your [Restored Immortal] identity? Otherwise, why would someone randomly attack an ordinary cultivator?"
yī fān xún wèn zhī hòu ， dé zhī guǒ rán shì wàn xiān méng chū de shǒu ， zhòng rén fēn fēn pò kǒu dà mà 。
一番询问之后，得知果然是万仙盟出的手，众人纷纷破口大骂。
Ye Feipeng paused for a moment before complaining, "It's all because that Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance array master was too domineering. I just watched his ascension from afar, and he demanded my life without hesitation."
dǎo shì sū zhǎng yù zhòu le zhòu méi ， wèn dào ：“ fēi péng ， nán dào nǐ bào lù le 【 fù xiān 】 shēn fèn ？ fǒu zé wú yuán wú gù ， bié rén nán wéi nǐ yí gè sàn xiū gàn má ？”
倒是苏长玉皱了皱眉，问道：“飞鹏，难道你暴露了【复仙】身份？否则无缘无故，别人难为你一个散修干嘛？”
"If it weren't for me running away quickly, I wouldn't have seen any of you again."
yè fēi péng xiān shì yī zhì ， suí hòu mǎ shàng bào yuàn dào ：“ hái bú shì nà wàn xiān méng zhèn fǎ shī tài guò bà dào le ， wǒ zhǐ shì yuǎn yuǎn kàn le tā jìn shēng de chǎng miàn yī yǎn ， tā èr huà bù shuō ， jiù yào bǎ wǒ shā le 。”
叶飞鹏先是一滞，随后马上抱怨道：“还不是那万仙盟阵法师太过霸道了，我只是远远看了他晋升的场面一眼，他二话不说，就要把我杀了。”
Su Changyu sized up the plump man and nodded, saying nothing more.
“ yào bú shì wǒ pǎo de kuài ， jiù zài yě jiàn bú dào nǐ men le 。”
“要不是我跑的快，就再也见不到你们了。”
"Seems like Senior Head has spoken correctly. The Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance is indeed arrogant. They don't even allow distant observation," Su Xiaomei's words fit perfectly with Xiao Heng's impression of the alliance. He believed Ye Feipeng's story.
sū zhǎng yù dǎ liàng le pàng zi yī yǎn ， diǎn diǎn tóu ， méi zài duō shuō shén me 。
苏长玉打量了胖子一眼，点点头，没再多说什么。
Su Xiaomei, who was mischievous and bratty, said to Ye Feipeng, "Don't worry, plump man. Call me big sister, and I'll avenge you!"
“ kàn lái tóu gǔ qián bèi shuō de bù cuò ， wàn xiān méng guǒ zhēn shì xiāo zhāng bá hù 。 lián yuǎn kàn dōu bù xíng 。” pàng zi de cǐ fān shuō cí zhèng fú hé xiāo héng nǎo hǎi zhōng duì yú wàn xiān méng de yìn xiàng ， tā dǎo shì xiāng xìn le yè fēi péng de huà 。
“看来头骨前辈说的不错，万仙盟果真是嚣张跋扈。连远看都不行。”胖子的此番说辞正符合萧恒脑海中对于万仙盟的印象，他倒是相信了叶飞鹏的话。
"You've been sleeping for so long that you might not know that I'm now at the peak of foundation establishment and about to form an alchemical core."
rén xiǎo guǐ dà de sū xiǎo mèi duì yè fēi péng méi shén me hǎo gǎn ， xī xiào zhe dào ：“ méi shì pàng zi ， nǐ guāi guāi jiào wǒ yī shēng dà jiě ， wǒ yǐ hòu wèi nǐ bào chóu ！”
人小鬼大的苏小妹对叶飞鹏没什么好感，嬉笑着道：“没事胖子，你乖乖叫我一声大姐，我以后为你报仇！”
Su Xiaomei crossed her arms and looked up at Ye Feipeng with a smug expression.
“ nǐ hūn shuì le zhè me jiǔ ， kě néng hái bù zhī dào ， xiàn zài wǒ yǐ jīng zhù jī yuán mǎn ， mǎ shàng jiù yào jié dān le 。”
“你昏睡了这么久，可能还不知道，现在我已经筑基圆满，马上就要结丹了。”
Behind her stood Yin Yuze and Yin Yuzhen, nodding in agreement like loyal followers.
sū xiǎo mèi chā yāo yǎng tóu kàn zhe yè fēi péng ， shén qì shí zú 。
苏小妹叉腰仰头看着叶飞鹏，神气十足。
Zhang Haobo stood silently by, watching everyone without speaking.
yīn yuè tíng 、 yīn yǔ zhēn liǎng jiě mèi zhàn zài tā shēn hòu ， bú zhù diǎn tóu ， yǎn rán yī fù dà gēn bān de yàng zi 。
殷玥婷、殷雨珍两姐妹站在她身后，不住点头，俨然一副大跟班的样子。
"Big sister?"
ér zhāng hào bō zé shì zhàn zài yī páng ， mò mò kàn zhe zhòng rén ， méi yǒu shuō huà 。
而张浩波则是站在一旁，默默看着众人，没有说话。
Ye Feipeng scoffed. "Su Xiaomei, you don't think that I've been making progress over the years just for you, right?"
“ dà jiě ？”
“大姐？”
"How about we spar a bit?"
yè fēi péng chī xiào yī shēng ：“ sū xiǎo mèi ， nǐ bú huì yǐ wéi ， zhè xiē nián guāng jiù nǐ yǒu shén me jìn bù ba ？”
叶飞鹏嗤笑一声：“苏小妹，你不会以为，这些年光就你有什么进步吧？”
Su Xiaomei, who had a short temper, was instantly enraged by Ye Feipeng's dismissive attitude.
“ yào bù rán ， zán liǎng bǐ huà bǐ huà ？”
“要不然，咱两比划比划？”
"Fight! Who fears whom!"
sū xiǎo mèi běn jiù shì bào pí qì ， bèi yè fēi péng de zhè bù xiè de tài dù shùn jiān jī nù 。
苏小妹本就是暴脾气，被叶飞鹏的这不屑的态度瞬间激怒。
Before her words were out, she launched a small but powerful punch at Ye Feipeng's face.
“ dǎ jiù dǎ ！ shuí pà shuí ！”
“打就打！谁怕谁！”
"Bang!"
huà yīn wèi luò ， jiāo xiǎo dàn chōng mǎn bào fā lì de quán tou hū xiào zhe jiù yào zá zài yè fēi péng liǎn shàng 。
话音未落，娇小但充满爆发力的拳头呼啸着就要砸在叶飞鹏脸上。
To everyone's surprise, Ye Feipeng didn't dodge. He calmly extended his arms and caught the punch with ease.
“ pēng ！”
“砰！”
The others were greatly surprised by this turn of events.
shuí céng xiǎng yè fēi péng bù shǎn bù bì ， dàn dìng de shēn chū zuǒ yòu ， wěn wěn jiāng quán tou jiē xià 。
谁曾想叶飞鹏不闪不避，淡定的伸出左右，稳稳将拳头接下。
Their impression of Ye Feipeng was still from years ago when he relied on speed to win through constant movement.
zhòng rén jiàn zhuàng ， wú bù dà chī yī jīng 。
众人见状，无不大吃一惊。
They never expected that in just a few years, he could now engage Su Xiaomei head-on!
duì yú yè fēi péng ， zhòng rén de yìn xiàng hái tíng liú zài shù nián qián ， zhàng zhe sù dù kuài 、 bù duàn yóu zǒu qǔ shèng 。
对于叶飞鹏，众人的印象还停留在数年前，仗着速度快、不断游走取胜。
With her attack easily deflected, Su Xiaomei instantly became furious. Her punches and kicks rained down on Ye Feipeng with increasing power as she accumulated more anger.
méi xiǎng dào duǎn duǎn jǐ nián guò qù ， tā jìng rán néng hé sū xiǎo mèi yìng pèng yìng le ！
没想到短短几年过去，他竟然能和苏小妹硬碰硬了！
However, her face remained calm.
gōng jī bèi qīng yì dāng xià ， sū xiǎo mèi shà shí jiān bào nù qǐ lái 。
攻击被轻易当下，苏小妹霎时间暴怒起来。
On the other side, Ye Feipeng was locked in combat with Su Xiaomei, his mind filled with memories of past humiliations that triggered his rage.
quán jiǎo rú fēng ， bù duàn cháo zhe yè fēi péng xí qù 。
拳脚如风，不断朝着叶飞鹏袭去。
Although he knew it was due to Su Xiaomei's cultivation technique, Six Desires Formlessness, he didn't care at this moment. He intended to give her a good beating.
tiān fù jiā chí xià ， suí zhe tā xīn zhōng de fèn nù bù duàn lěi jī ， yī zhāo yī shì de wēi lì ， dōu zài bù duàn pān shēng 。
天赋加持下，随着她心中的愤怒不断累积，一招一式的威力，都在不断攀升。
Amidst the shocked cries of the others, Ye Feipeng activated [Startled Peng Transformation].
ér tā de liǎn shàng ， què shí fēn fǎn cháng de ， píng jìng rú shuǐ 。
而她的脸上，却十分反常的，平静如水。
Two brown wings suddenly unfolded, and his body instantly expanded.
fǎn guān yè fēi péng nà biān ， hé sū xiǎo mèi chán dòu zài yì qǐ ， nǎo hǎi zhōng bù shí shǎn xiàn guò yǐ wǎng ràng tā gǎn dào qū rǔ de zhǒng zhǒng huà miàn 。
反观叶飞鹏那边，和苏小妹缠斗在一起，脑海中不时闪现过以往让他感到屈辱的种种画面。
His speed and strength nearly doubled, catching Su Xiaomei off guard as she was punched into the sea.
xīn zhōng de bào nù dǒu rán shēng qǐ 。
心中的暴怒陡然生起。
"Xiaomei!"
suī rán zhī dào zhè shì sū xiǎo mèi suǒ xiū gōng fǎ 《 liù yù wú xiāng 》 de xiào guǒ ， dàn yè fēi péng cǐ shí yě bìng bù jiè yì 。
虽然知道这是苏小妹所修功法《六欲无相》的效果，但叶飞鹏此时也并不介意。
Xiao Heng shouted in alarm.
tā dǎ suàn yào hǎo hǎo jiào xùn zhè ge xiǎo jiā huo yī dùn 。
他打算要好好教训这个小家伙一顿。
But before he could rush to save her, a streak of crimson fire split the water.
zài lí jiè zhòng rén de jīng hū shēng zhōng ， yè fēi péng fā dòng le 【 jīng péng biàn 】。
在离界众人的惊呼声中，叶飞鹏发动了【惊鹏变】。
Instantly, it struck Ye Feipeng again.
liǎng dào hè sè chì bǎng dǒu rán zhǎn kāi ， shēn qū shùn shí péng zhàng le yī quān 。
两道褐色翅膀陡然展开，身躯瞬时膨胀了一圈。
The intense energy burst scorched the air, causing it to distort.
sù dù lì liàng jī hū fān bèi ， sū xiǎo mèi bèi dǎ le gè cuò shǒu bù jí ， bèi yī quán hōng fēi ， hěn hěn zá jìn le hǎi lǐ 。
速度力量几乎翻倍，苏小妹被打了个措手不及，被一拳轰飞，狠狠砸进了海里。
The others stepped back involuntarily.
“ xiǎo mèi ！”
“小妹！”
"Xiaomei even used the rare foundation object [Spirit Anger Fire]. She must be really angry," Yin Yuzhen said with a tongue flick and a low voice.
xiāo héng shī shēng hǎn dào 。
萧恒失声喊道。
Amidst the fiery explosions, they could faintly see green light blocking some of the crimson flames.
rán ér ， hái méi děng tā chōng jìn hǎi zhōng xún zhǎo sū xiǎo mèi 。
然而，还没等他冲进海中寻找苏小妹。
The two fought for nearly half a day. Their cultivation levels were similar.
yī dào chì sè de huǒ guāng ， jiāng hǎi shuǐ fèn kāi 。
一道赤色的火光，将海水分开。
One was exceptionally gifted, growing stronger as she grew angrier, reaching an 8x power boost at its peak.
zhuǎn shùn jiān ， yòu chóng xīn hōng jī zài le yè fēi péng shēn shàng 。
转瞬间，又重新轰击在了叶飞鹏身上。
The other had numerous fortunate encounters and possessed both Green Breeze and Vast Sea dao foundations. With Kunpeng bloodline inheritance, her secret techniques allowed her to match Su Xiaomei in speed and strength.
chì rè wú bǐ de néng liàng bào fā ， lián kōng qì dōu bèi zhuó shāo de niǔ qū 。
炽热无比的能量爆发，连空气都被灼烧的扭曲。
For a time, the two fought evenly.
lí jiè zhòng rén bù yóu dì wǎng hòu tuì qù 。
离界众人不由地往后退去。
It wasn't until nightfall that they finally stopped fighting due to everyone's persuasion.
“ xiǎo mèi lián zhù jī qí wù 【 líng nù huǒ 】 dōu yòng chū lái le ， kàn lái shì zhēn de shēng qì la 。” yīn yǔ zhēn tǔ le tǔ shé tou ， xiǎo shēng shuō dào 。
“小妹连筑基奇物【灵怒火】都用出来了，看来是真的生气啦。”殷雨珍吐了吐舌头，小声说道。
Both were不服 (unwilling) to admit defeat and agreed to settle their dispute another day.
màn tiān huǒ guāng zhōng ， bào zhà shēng bù duàn chuán lái 。
漫天火光中，爆炸声不断传来。
Xiao Heng approached curiously, asking Ye Feipeng how he had become so strong suddenly. Surrounded by curious and admiring gazes, Ye Feipeng felt a bit self-important.
zhòng rén yǐn yǐn kě yǐ kàn dào ， qí zhōng yī lǚ lǚ qīng máng ， jiāng chì sè huǒ yàn zǔ dǎng zài wài 。
众人隐隐可以看到，其中一缕缕青芒，将赤色火焰阻挡在外。
"Indeed, it's true that wealth and honor are best shared with one's hometown."
liǎng rén de zhàn dòu zú zú chí xù le dà bàn tiān 。
两人的战斗足足持续了大半天。
He thought to himself.
xiū wèi xiāng dāng 。
修为相当。
With his bloodline power so evident, there was no need to hide anything.
yí gè tiān fù yì bǐng ， yuè nù yuè qiáng 。 zuì gāo bào fā bā bèi zhī lì ， qiáng hèng wú bǐ 。
一个天赋异禀，越怒越强。最高爆发八倍之力，强横无比。
He immediately told everyone about awakening and inheriting Kunpeng essence.
"Hmph, Zhang Ziliang."
"I'll settle this score with you sooner or later."
A hint of ferocity and trepidation flashed in Ye Feipeng's eyes.
"This world has many more variables. There might be some differences compared to my previous life."
"But I'm certain that Zhang Ziliang will never give up the opportunity to hunt for the essence of heaven and earth."
"After ascending to the realm of transformation, he should have a stronger desire to achieve union with dao."
The plump man pondered silently.
"If in the last life, he was just an assistant to the array master,"
"Then in this life, Zhang Ziliang has become the main combat force for the hunt."
"Mmm... Let me think. If possible, he might even hide his strength secretly and watch as the transformation realm and Crimson Flame clash."
"When both sides are exhausted, he can strike and reap the benefits like a vulture."
"He might also save some of his strength to guard against my escape..."
Ye Feipeng's expression was unpredictable.
To be honest, about whether or not to join in the Great Burning Sea event, Ye Feipeng still had some hesitation.

If it worked out well, then fine. But if not...

The image of Zhang Haobo achieving union with dao and dominating a state flashed in his mind.

"Pearl of the Vast Sea..."
Subconsciously, he touched his belly. The plump man's expression was conflicted.
"Let me think... Let me think..."
"First, I'll head back to the荒岛 and see how Xiao Heng is doing."
Withdrawing his wings behind him, Ye Feipeng quietly returned to where the others were gathered.
The plump man had been missing for six years. Visions of Xiao Heng's joyous welcome filled him with delight.
After a round of questioning, they learned that it was indeed the Ten Thousand Immortals Alliance who did this. Everyone cursed loudly.

The other had numerous fortunate encounters and possessed both Green Breeze and Vast Sea dao foundations. With Kunpeng bloodline inheritance, her secret techniques allowed her to match Su Xiaomei in speed and strength.
For a time, the two fought evenly.
It wasn't until nightfall that they finally stopped fighting due to everyone's persuasion.
Both were不服 (unwilling) to admit defeat and agreed to settle their dispute another day.
Xiao Heng approached curiously, asking Ye Feipeng how he had become so strong suddenly. Surrounded by curious and admiring gazes, Ye Feipeng felt a bit self-important.
"Indeed, it's true that wealth and honor are best shared with one's hometown."
He thought to himself.
With his bloodline power so evident, there was no need to hide anything.
He immediately told everyone about awakening and inheriting Kunpeng essence.
