"Senior, it's me." Chu Feng smiled.
"It really is you, brat. No wonder you've got my Tingxue all confused — she kept saying she found someone even more remarkable than Chu Feng. Turns out it was you all along, huh?"
Zhao Laoba was somewhat exasperated, but then curiously asked, "Then I want to know — who is Wude?"
Chu Feng knew he couldn't hide this, so he looked directly at Wang Qiang. "It's my friend, Wang Qiang."
However, seeing the state Wang Qiang and the others were in, Chu Feng quickly formed hand seals and used a formation to transmit his voice directly to Xiao Yu'er, Xianhai Shaoyu, and Wang Qiang.
He shared with them the method for merging with the formation, as well as the insights he had gained.
Otherwise, if this continued, he feared the three of them would fail the merge and ultimately be eliminated.
Under Chu Feng's guidance, Xiao Yu'er's complexion was the first to stop deteriorating.
Soon after, Wang Qiang and Xianhai Shaoyu's complexions also stopped worsening.
Not only did they stop getting worse, but their conditions actually began to improve.
Seeing this, Chu Feng let out a sigh of relief.
He had done everything he could. Now it all depended on Xiao Yu'er and the others' own comprehension.
Before long, another phenomenon appeared — Qin Xuan had succeeded.
However, after witnessing the phenomenon Chu Feng had caused earlier, the crowd felt little excitement upon seeing Qin Xuan's phenomenon.
After all, most people didn't know how difficult each mountain peak truly was, and could only judge strength by the phenomena produced.
Compared to Chu Feng's phenomenon, they naturally felt Qin Xuan's was rather underwhelming.
As for Zhao Laoba, who knew the true difficulty, he wasn't particularly surprised either.
After all, Qin Xuan had entered the Divine Era alongside Zhao Laoba, so he was quite familiar with the young man and knew this junior had some ability.
It was Xiao Yu'er, Xianhai Shaoyu, and Wang Qiang who actually drew his gaze.
After all, they too were challenging the most difficult peaks — the ones that even Zhao Zhuyin hadn't dared to touch.
If Chu Feng could succeed because he was a famous prodigy, that was somewhat understandable.
But if someone other than Chu Feng could also pull it off, that would be hard for him to accept.
After all, in the ancient era, only those three had been able to accomplish this.
Hummm— However, the mountain peak where Xiao Yu'er was soon underwent a dramatic change. A pillar of light shot skyward, and the entire void transformed.
The void seemed to become an ocean, with colossal fish silhouettes — enormous, ethereal, radiating an immortal aura that pierced the heavens — swimming leisurely through the expanse.
A phenomenon!!!
One far surpassing Qin Xuan's, nearly blanketing the entire spatial world.
But soon, another terrifying aura surged forth. Four ferocious, monstrous beasts appeared in the sky above.
They loomed with overwhelming menace, as if capable of swallowing the sun and moon, possessing the power to annihilate the Heavenly River.
It was Xiao Yu'er and Wang Qiang who had successively manifested their phenomena.
Immediately after, Xianhai Shaoyu also triggered a phenomenon.
That phenomenon was no weaker than Xiao Yu'er's and Wang Qiang's, and bore a striking resemblance to Xiao Yu'er's.
"They all succeeded?"
Zhao Laoba's expression grew complicated, finding it hard to believe what he was seeing.
Although the three phenomena combined still fell somewhat short of the one Chu Feng had caused.
Setting aside Chu Feng's earlier phenomenon entirely.
These three phenomena were truly magnificent and awe-inspiring. And the manifestation of phenomena itself was proof of a successful merge.
However, when the phenomena returned and merged back into the bodies of Xiao Yu'er and the other two — The returning phenomena struck like three attacks, directly hitting the three so hard that their faces twisted in agony. Each spat out a mouthful of blood, then collapsed weakly upon the mountain peak, having lost consciousness entirely.
Everything then returned to calm.
"What… what happened?"
