"This familiar gaze......"
Strangely, goosebumps started to rise all over Lin San's body, this sensation was unbearable.
He truly didn't understand why Qin Feng would make such a gaze to look at him every time they met. At times like this, he didn't even know how he could respond.
"Brother Lin!!"
Qin Feng immediately ran over and grabbed Lin San, as if afraid that he would run off once more.
It was now clear to everyone present that upon the maturing of the Dao Fruits, the war would begin.
According to the laws of protagonists, the final victor would undoubtedly be a protagonist, and this would also be a great chance for them to show off. Therefore, he needed to find a way to use these protagonists to attract all the firepower and then experience the joys of being a sneaky bastard.
"Ah, this!!"
Zi Yuan and Yu Lan looked at their tightly intertwined fingers, somewhat sensing that something was off.
If anyone else were to meet beauties of their calibre, they would want nothing more than to stick to them 24/7. On the other hand, Qin Feng was actually capable of ditching them for a man.
Were they overthinking, or was that man more charismatic than them!?
"Brother Qin, we meet again!"
Lin San smiled awkwardly as he tried his best to pull back his arm.
However, Qin Feng's grip was impossibly tight. He completely disregarded the strange looks from the surrounding crowd, something that made Lin San incredibly uncomfortable.
"Brother Lin, your appearance was too timely!"
Qin Feng's expression suddenly became serious as he patted Lin San's hand.
Perhaps he was taking advantage of him or simply showing how highly he regarded Lin San, regardless, he used this opportunity to grab onto Lin San's hand boldly in broad daylight.
Then, he started explaining how his concubine had discovered the Dao Fruit, which caused this shameless bunch to appear in hopes of snatching it for themselves.
"Hah......"
Lin San laughed awkwardly, not knowing how to respond.
If he were to agree with Qin Feng's words, wouldn't he just be agreeing to the fact that his actions of coming here to snatch the Dao Fruit were shameless?
But if he were to disagree, what reason could he have for coming here? Other than to meet Qin Feng.
"Ptui, who's his concubine!"
Yu Lan's chest started hurting again from her fury. She wanted nothing more than to bite this bastard to death right now.
"Ding dong! Congratulations to Master for causing the Chosen One's chest to hurt from her fury. You have obtained 10,000 villain points!"
On the other hand, Zi Yuan was overjoyed. She was clearly the irreplaceable main wife of Qin Feng.
At this moment---
The number of people gathered here continued to increase, with no less than thirty thousand individuals.
They were unlike the Heavenly Youth Scholars of Great Xia, who were all commoners. These people were all prodigies who were carefully selected and raised by various influential forces, so their combat power was undoubtedly stronger than those common-born Heavenly Youth Scholars.
"Why did so many of them come!?"
Yu Lan's expression was solemn. She was furious at the sneaky bastard that spread all those lies.
Originally, the Blue Demon Palace could have taken all seven Dao Fruits for themselves. But now, due to the actions of that shameless sneaky bastard, all of these people had been attracted here.
Much less take all of them, taking even one would be difficult.
The atmosphere that enshrouded this area was extremely tense, with everyone's gazes fixed on Qin Feng and his party. They were all aware that these people were their greatest obstacles in seizing these fruits.
Yu Lan of the Blue Demon Palace possessed the Enigma Yin Physique, her strength was enough to instantly kill those within her level. On the other hand, Zi Yuan of the Moon Goddess Palace was the future Moon Goddess.
Moon Goddesses of every generation dominated their generation. No matter how lacking Zi Yuan was, she wouldn't fall too far from the tree.
Moreover, Lin San was called the strongest swordsman of the next century, with countless of his tales spread throughout the Jiang Hu these few years.
Lastly, there was Qin Feng, who was known as the strongest prodigy in Huang Gu. While there were recent rumours regarding his unstable foundation from consecutive breakthroughs, his Dense Pupils, Sword Intent, Sword Heart, and other abilities were not something that they could underestimate.
More importantly, he was incredibly shameless!!
Qin Feng disregarded all of their gazes as he placed his arm over Lin San's shoulder, discussing between themselves, "Brother Lin, there are seven Dao Fruits. If you block these people for me, how about this: One for the Blue Demon Palace, one for the Moon Goddess Palace, one for my rabbit, one each for both my underlings and the remaining two, we'll split it fifty-fifty and take one each, okay!?"
"We get a share too!?"
Qian Jun and Wan Ma were instantly invigorated, fervently professing their love for their Boss silently in their hearts.
"En!?"
At first glance, this seemed rather logical. However, the more Lin San thought, the more irritated he became.
With a total of seven Dao Fruits, you're planning to take six for yourself after I work myself to the bone to block these enemies for you? My efforts are only worth one fucking fruit!?
"Brother Lin, we shouldn't calculate things like that!"
Qin Feng, his arm still around his shoulder, continued to spew bullshit, "Eating one Dao Fruit is more than enough, any more wouldn't bring other benefits. Rather than that, you could use it to gain friendships, after all, friendships are indispensable."
Before Lin San could speak, Qin Feng continued, "Think about how Heaven Heart City has treated you. None of them trust you, but me? Your brother from another father and mother, I will always believe in you, and I will always silently support you from behind."
Lin San looked at Qin Feng, his gaze seemingly expressing, 'Do I look like an idiot? Someone who would sell themselves for mere friendship?'
Was friendship something he lacked!?
"Hahh, I didn't want this, but you forced my hand!"
Qin Feng sighed powerlessly, releasing Lin San's hand and walked away.
"What do you mean!?"
Lin San faltered for a moment. He had a terrible precognition.
Even before he could react, he heard Qin Feng's bellow, "What the fuck are you looking at? Come and fight one-on-one if you have the balls! Are you looking down at my brother, Lin San......"
"Pu......"
Saliva flew out of Lin San's mouth instantly.
He hadn't expected that Qin Feng still hadn't raised his bottom line even after seven years.
"Fuck, how fucking arrogant!!"
None of the surrounding prodigies had any intentions of letting Qin Feng be, each of them taking up their weapons in preparation to fight Lin San.
"Ding dong! Congratulations to Master for pulling aggro for the Chosen One. You have obtained 10,000 villain points!"
Just at this moment---
A fierce voice came from within the crowd, "Qin Feng, your shamelessness still knows no bounds!"
"En!?"
Searching for the source of the voice, everyone turned their heads.
The young master of the Renowned Sword Mountain Estate, Yi Jian, led more than a hundred individuals dressed in white. With a sword on his back and his disciples behind him, he walked out from the crowd. From their aura alone, it was clear that all of them had attained cultivation beyond the Fifth layer of the Sky Sect realm.
"How powerful!!"
The expressions of everyone shifted slightly, knowing that another strong competitor had emerged.
"My Renowned Sword Mountain Estate does not ask for too much, but just four Dao Fruits!"
A chill flashed past Yi Jian's eyes, those who dared to block his path would all die here.
"Asking for the majority just like this? How dare you call me shameless!?"
Qin Feng couldn't help but roll his eyes, expressing that he had never seen such a shameless person before.
At the same time, Qin Feng also noticed that there were actually some beard hairs on the sides of Yi Jian's mouth. Did he not grind his face into the ground enough last time? Perhaps it was time for him to have an intimate encounter with the floor once more.
Rumble!!
The ground suddenly started trembling with great intensity as a brilliant radiance emanated from the seven Dao Fruits, accompanied by the law of heaven and earth's aura that pierced the skies.
"The Dao Fruits have matured!!"
The crowd cried in astonishment as the chaotic battle commenced......
