"How can this be?"
"What's going on?"
When they witnessed this scene, forget about the bystanders being stunned—even figures like Grandmaster Luo Tuo and the Ghost Face Heavenly Lord saw their expressions change drastically.
Just moments ago, they had been smug and dripping with sarcasm. Now, their faces were filled with extreme confusion and extreme panic.
Only at this point did they suddenly realize.
Everything seemed to be completely different from what they had imagined!!!
"Thank you, Young Hero Chu Feng! Thank you, Young Hero Chu Feng!"
Those who had received the red radiance were overcome with excitement, and they began expressing their gratitude to Chu Feng. Some even knelt in the sky, kowtowing and bowing to him.
After all, those who had previously received Lü Jie's power had already been enormously grateful.
But the power these people had received from Chu Feng was tens—no, even over a hundred times greater than what those others had gotten.
Before this, that was simply something they wouldn't have dared to imagine.
How could they not be thankful?
"No need to thank me. This is what you deserve."
"Now, it's time for the people who matter most to me."
After saying these words to the crowd, Chu Feng turned his gaze to Grandmaster Tang Chen and the others.
"Senior Tang Chen, Brother Yuan Shu, Miss Yu Ting."
"I, Chu Feng, entered that chess formation for the sake of all of you."
"But if not for you, I wouldn't have encountered such an opportunity."
"You all deserve these."
After speaking these words to Grandmaster Tang Chen, Yuan Shu, and Yu Ting, Chu Feng then looked toward Fairy Mu Zhi and Elder Ru Yi.
Because everyone else had already received Chu Feng's rewards.
But these few still had not.
"As for Senior Mu Zhi and Senior Ru Yi, you placed your trust in me, and I, Chu Feng, naturally should repay that."
Once these words left Chu Feng's lips, he closed his eyes once more.
Immediately afterward, an even more colossal surge of red radiance erupted from within his body.
That red radiance was incomparable to what had come before. Its coverage spanned tens of thousands of meters.
It was several times denser than the combined aura that Lü Jie had radiated earlier.
Then, all of that red radiance merged into the few remaining luminous spheres.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh—
In the next instant, the luminous spheres shot out beams of red light, streaking toward Grandmaster Tang Chen, Yuan Shu, Yu Ting, Fairy Mu Zhi, and the others respectively.
The radiance was so torrential that even the void itself was dyed blood-red.
And when that crimson light descended upon them, let alone Yu Ting and Yuan Shu being utterly astonished—even Grandmaster Tang Chen and Fairy Mu Zhi were beside themselves with joy.
"How can this power be this overwhelming?"
Sensing that power, even figures like Fairy Mu Zhi and Grandmaster Tang Chen were visibly shaken with excitement.
And the spectators were so envious their jaws practically hit the floor.
That red radiance was the same as before.
After landing on Grandmaster Tang Chen and the others, it released its true might.
That dense aura simply surpassed imagination.
Though it couldn't compare to the stone stele, it was still an immensely powerful inheritance.
For Spirit World Masters, it would prove tremendously beneficial.
"Young friend Chu Feng, you've truly given this fairy a colossal surprise."
"I suppose this fairy now owes you a favor."
Fairy Mu Zhi had originally chosen to side with Chu Feng partly out of spite against Grandmaster Luo Tuo and the others.
And partly, she had simply wanted to take a gamble.
But she never expected to receive such a return.
As a Spirit World Master, she understood with perfect clarity just how tremendous the help this red radiance would bring her.
If this red radiance fully merged with her body, her Spirit World techniques wouldn't experience an immediate breakthrough.
However, it would comprehensively elevate her Mental Power.
This kind of assistance targeted the very foundation, and it would prove enormously beneficial to her future cultivation of Spirit World techniques.
She had originally thought that for the rest of her life, she might never be able to comprehend the fifth level of the Dragon Transformation.
After all, she had already lived for over ten thousand years—she was an old woman.
But now she felt certain she would absolutely comprehend the fifth level of the Dragon Transformation. It was a certainty, not merely a possibility.
This was precisely why she was so grateful to Chu Feng.
"Why is this happening? Why does Chu Feng's red radiance possess such tremendous power?"
"And why is he able to control on his own how many people receive this power?"
