"Thank you, you're all such kind people!" the little boy cried out in delight, and without any shame whatsoever, he began to eat with abandon.
Despite his small stature, he ate as if he were a starved ghost reborn. Chu Feng and the others had ordered an entire table full of food.
Yet after the little boy's whirlwind assault, every last morsel on the table had been swept clean.
Still, looking at the little boy's round, bulging belly and his thoroughly satisfied expression, all three of Chu Feng's group wore warm smiles. Not a single one of them blamed him for eating too much — in fact, they all found the boy rather endearing.
"Big brother, big sister, you're really such good people. I can't just eat your food for nothing — let me tell you all about the situation at the Eight Desolations Chaotic Graveyard," the little boy said to Chu Feng after wiping his mouth clean.
"So many factions have gone in already — did they really come up with nothing?" Chu Feng asked curiously.
"As far as I know, none of them have found a thing. If anything, there have been quite a few casualties," the little boy replied.
"Then do you have any idea what the strongest cultivation level among those currently inside the ruins is?" Chu Feng asked.
"The peak of the Martial Ancestor level — that's the strongest so far," the little boy answered without the slightest hesitation.
"Is there anything else you know? Feel free to share," Chu Feng continued.
"I do know something that only a very small number of people are aware of — the two great geniuses of the Hundred Refinements Ordinary Realm have already entered the Eight Desolations Chaotic Graveyard. If those two run into each other, there's bound to be a fierce battle," the little boy said.
"The two great geniuses — who are they both?" Wang Qiang asked, equally curious.
"The first is Young Master Li Ming. Young Master Li Ming is the youngest Immortal Robe Spirit World Master in the entire history of the Hundred Refinements Ordinary Realm."
"His talent is extraordinary, and he's hailed as the foremost genius of the Hundred Refinements Ordinary Realm. Countless experts have wanted to take him as a disciple, but he's turned every single one of them away."
"Word is that even the legendary True Immortal Golden Crane tried to take him as a disciple, and even he was refused," the little boy said.
"Oh? He's th-that impressive?" Wang Qiang said, only half-convinced.
"I have heard a bit about this Young Master Li Ming — he does seem to have real ability," Chu Feng said to Wang Qiang.
"Really?" Hearing Chu Feng say so, Wang Qiang was somewhat more inclined to believe it.
"Then who's the second genius?" Chu Feng asked the little boy.
Chu Feng had heard of Young Master Li Ming, but he genuinely had never heard of any genius in the Hundred Refinements Ordinary Realm who could rival him.
"Hun Lian."
"Not many people seem to know about Hun Lian. Compared to Young Master Li Ming, this Hun Lian is even more mysterious — but his strength in every aspect is no weaker than Li Ming's. He's a truly monstrous existence."
"Supposedly, there's an incredibly powerful force backing Hun Lian."
"I don't know the name of that force myself, but it's supposedly a powerhouse that's no lesser than a first-rate faction." The little boy deliberately lowered his voice, as though he was afraid someone else might overhear.
"Kid, I gave you all this delicious food — don't you go making things up to mess with me," Zhao Hong said.
"Big sister, I'm not messing with you! I'm telling the truth," the little boy said earnestly.
"Fine, just keep eating," Zhao Hong said dismissively, clearly not buying it.
And who could blame her? In the eyes of the world, the four great first-rate factions were already the pinnacle of power. A faction that could stand on equal footing with any of the four first-rate factions simply did not exist.
