Chapter 727: Dare to Mess with My Brother
"Goodness, that old pervert might not be very decent, even a bit sleazy, but his escape skills are really something!"
Wang Genji left Fang Jueyu with a rather magical secret technique, a technique that practically pushed the Space Law to its limits. Once activated, it allowed him to move miles away through spatial fractures in a blink, making it an essential tool for a grand escape after showing off.
In Wanshen Manor, there were countless martial arts, including many body movement techniques, but none had effects as miraculous as this. If Fang Jueyu ever found himself trapped in the future, as long as the opponent's strength wasn't more than two levels above his, they couldn't do anything to him!
Back when Wang Genji was just a Transcender, who knew how many enemies he had offended? Yet, with this skill, no one below Demigod could catch him.
Now that he had ascended to Demigod, there were many he couldn't defeat, but no one could find him wanting to kill him.
This skill originally didn't have a name, but Wang Genji took it upon himself to call it the "Secret Skill of Pretending," which was quite fitting in a way.
"This sounds interesting," thought Fang Jueyu. If he mastered it, no one below Transcender could do anything to him.
"Learn it! How could I not learn something this good?" He thought. With three years still ahead, he could completely master this Secret Skill of Pretending. Even if he couldn't complete a mission, at least he could always escape!
The Godlike Academy may be desolate, but it still contained the technological prowess of top civilizations. The planet's surface was covered with a layer of liquid metal. As a member of the Godlike Academy, Wang Genji granted Fang Jueyu high-level access, allowing him to create many things here.
He imagined his villa at the Jiangnan Retreat, and as the ground rippled, an identical villa rose from the ground, every detail matching perfectly.
"Let's go, Er Gouzi, let's first let Xinyu know we're safe, then check on that little brat Fang Su!"
"Woof, woof!" The man and the dog ran into the villa...
...
"Swish!" Fang Jueyu's body suddenly appeared in a corner of the Godlike Academy.
"Impressive, I've only practiced for a few months, and now I can appear thousands of kilometers away at will!" Fang Jueyu was quite pleased; this "Secret Skill of Pretending" was really an essential Divine Artifact for showing off, committing crimes, and escaping blame.
"I wonder when I can be like that old pervert, moving eighty thousand light-years in an instant," Fang Jueyu muttered. "Looks like it's time to thoroughly grasp the Space Law!"
"Xiao Yi, send a message to Xinyu, ask her to ship over a few barrels of blood from Void Race slaves," Fang Jueyu instructed. "By the way, buy some pig liver for them to replenish their blood."
"Host, you have received a rescue message in your personal mailbox at Cosmic Federation School."
"What? A rescue message?" Fang Jueyu was startled. "Who is it? My son wasn't kidnapped, was he?"
"No way! Earth now has so many Martial Artists protecting it; unless it's a Demigod, who could threaten Earth? What's going on?"
"It's from Bernard," said Xiao Yi.
"Bernard? Didn't he return to his Zinake Kingdom? Has something happened?"
At that moment, Lancelot and Panuo also sent messages; it was clear they both received Bernard's rescue message too. All three were at the Cosmic Federation School and immediately arranged to meet and discuss this matter.
"What's going on?" The three of them sat around in the student-exclusive public conference room of the Cosmic Federation School. Lancelot and Panuo both looked rather grim, as if they knew something.
"I think it's very likely that someone from the Zinake Kingdom wants to harm Bernard."
Lancelot and Panuo had known Bernard much longer than Fang Jueyu and knew more about his background.
Fang Jueyu also knew that, although Bernard was born to a princess of the Zinake Kingdom, his status as the Ninth Prince was even lower than that of a servant.
Bernard always harbored resentment towards the Zinake Kingdom, and his goal of entering the Cosmic Federation School was to become a top-tier powerhouse and then seek justice for his deceased mother.
This time, Bernard successfully entered the Cosmic Federation School. He even achieved second place in the personal score ranking, a talent sufficient to promote him to Transcender, and perhaps one day, even Demigod wasn't out of the question.
By then, Bernard could fully return to the Zinake Civilization to avenge his mother.
However, the Zinake Kingdom had long received this news and understood that giving this bastard a chance would surely lead to endless troubles in the future.
Had Bernard stayed peacefully at the Cosmic Federation School, under the protection of his teacher, the Beast God, the Zinake Kingdom couldn't reach him in any way. Revenge can wait; he could bide his time for vengeance.
But Bernard, because he wanted to see his mother's remains once more, ventured back to the Zinake Kingdom, which proved to be a den of dragons and tigers waiting for him!
A Demigod's student, who would dare make a move? But if Bernard died outside, with no one knowing, even the Demigod wouldn't trace it back to the Zinake Civilization.
But they never expected Bernard to have three friends who, before being trapped in the Zinake Kingdom, he was fortunate enough to send out a rescue signal.
"Have you guys tried reaching out to the Beast God?" Fang Jueyu asked.
"A Demigod powerhouse isn't someone we can just meet on a whim," the two shook their heads.
"Doesn't the Cosmic Federation School have some kind of dean or something? If a student is in danger outside, surely the school wouldn't just ignore it, right?"
"Brother Fang, countless students from the Cosmic Federation School die every year while on missions outside. Do you think the school can handle them all?"
"So what then? Just watch him be killed by the Zinake Kingdom?" Fang Jueyu couldn't help but feel worried.
"It shouldn't go that far. Since he's the Beast God's student, the Beast God likely gave him some life-saving means. He might not die so easily," Lancelot said. "But we must figure out a way to save him."
"The Zinake Civilization has Transcenders, and even several Venerable Transcenders protect it constantly. With just the three of us, I'm afraid..."
"Damn them!" Fang Jueyu raised his fist. "Dare to mess with my brother, they really don't take our Shenhao Civilization Men's Group seriously!"
"Brother Fang, our opponents this time aren't Divine Ability Users, you must not act recklessly."
"Don't worry, it's just a top-tier civilization. Their so-called Divine Ability Users wouldn't even qualify to serve tea in our Shenhao Civilization," Fang Jueyu said.
"Wait here!" Fang Jueyu took out a piece of paper made of some unknown material, then used another kind of blue material to begin drawing on it.
"This... is this a rune?"
"Exactly!" Fang Jueyu took out several Cosmic Crystals, crushing them instantly, and the power from the Crystals flowed into the inscription, emitting a brilliant light, and powerful spatial fluctuations emanated from the rune.
"This is..."
"No time to explain, get in the car!"
"What? A car?" The two didn't know what happened before Fang Jueyu grabbed their arms, and with a radiant blue light swirling around them, the three disappeared from their spot.
