The Domineering King of the Netherworld and His Sweetheart

33. Strength Test

Translator: Ning LL

After a year, Feng Xi became even more good-looking and spirited under the instruction of King of the Netherworld.

However, that was not the most important thing. What really mattered was that Feng Xi’s cultivation level had soared to the fifth grade of the Profound Heaven realm. After that, he refused to continue cultivating himself.

Why?

Because he was stuffed with Spiritual Energy. He had absorbed the Spiritual Energy for the whole year. As a result, all of his veins and cells were filled with Spiritual Energy. He did feel comfortable at first, but too much comfort was not a good thing to him. He always felt that there seemed to be tens of thousands of ants crawling in his body. The itchy feeling made him never want to sit there and absorb the Spiritual Energy again.

Therefore, his cultivation level stopped at the fifth grade of the Profound Heaven realm. Anyhow, the place he stopped was actually very hard to break through, so he stopped right on time.

Although his cultivation level kept upgrading extremely quickly, his mind and cultivation base still couldn’t match his cultivation level. Thus he couldn’t experience the feeling of reaching the Profound Heaven realm at all. Only his Spiritual Power had reached the fifth grade, while the other aspects still stayed unchanged.

King of the Netherworld had figured that out long ago and then stopped forcing him to absorb the Spiritual Power.

However, the boy’s cultivation base still needed to be strengthened. Therefore, the King ordered someone to prepare a feast for the boy.

As Feng Xi rushed to the table cheerfully, his eyes were wide open with astonishment.

He had thought that he could eat delicious food. However, he only saw a table of flower petals in front of him. Well, this was awkward. No one had ever told him that petals could be eaten.

“My leader, I don’t want to eat the petals. If our kitchen is short of meat, just give me a few steamed stuffed buns!” When Feng Xi saw the petals on the table, he thought that there was not enough food in the kitchen today.

“The petals are from the Desire Sea. They could help strengthen your cultivation base.”

The King sat in the most prominent place with only a few fruits which were full of Spiritual Energy in front of him. He never ate meat or felt hungry. He only ate those fruits when he wanted to eat something.

Feng Xi then started to gaze at those fruits with longing eyes.

“Those petals could strengthen your body and widen your veins. After you eat them, your veins would be able to contain more Spiritual Energy. They’ll do you no harm.”’

“It’s about cultivation again.” Feng Xi murmured that, but he still sat down tamely. The things which others desired for were disdained by Feng Xi.

King of the Netherworld glanced at him and didn’t say anything. Instead, he asked the maid to bring the whole pot of petals to Feng Xi. Those petals had been picked from the Desire Sea just now. After the great nursing, some of the petals reserved their essence very well. Once someone ate those petals, they could overcome the biggest difficulty in the cultivation. Feng Xi’s cultivation base was not firm enough, so he needed those petals to get stronger.

After Feng Xi ate hundreds of petals reluctantly, he felt his mouth filled with sweet scent. He could even smell that scent when he spoke.

The good thing was that he did feel much more comfortable than before.

He didn’t feel himself being stuffed anymore and even wanted to burst with frightening energy. Hardly could he resist the inner impulse.

“If you’ve had enough, follow me.” The King was waiting for Feng Xi for long. After Feng Xi finished chewing the last petal, the King finally ordered him to stop.

“To do what?” Feng Xi asked that grudgingly.

“Cultivation!” King of the Netherworld uttered those word breezily.

Feng Xi almost missed his step and fell. Then he whined, “Please don’t, my leader, I… I have only rested for a few days. Now I have to start again?”

“This time you won’t do the normal cultivation.” The King paused and then turned around.

Feng Xi almost bumped into the King. Luckily, he stopped in time. He asked in confusion, “What?”

“I want you to fight others this time to test your strength.” The King said that slowly.

Feng Xi was stunned. No matter in his previous life or his current life, he had never fought with others. In his previous life, every time he was caught stealing, he always managed to escape because of his extraordinary Light Martial Art. At that time, no one was able to catch him.

In his current life, it was impossible for him to fight another person either. Therefore, he had no experience in fighting. He assumed he would only be beaten when he took that test.

“There is a place in the Market Area of the Rest Night City. You might already know that the place was set up specifically for people to fight each other. Most of the guards of the Rest Night City were picked from that place. Thus lots of cultivators would go there at the annual testing time of that place. This year’s test happens to take place today. You can go and have a try.”

After the King said that, Feng Xi pretended to faint with his head leaning on the King’s shoulder. However, it was so easy to tell that he was faking it.

Nevertheless, he still had to go because the person who would bring him there was Uncle White whom he scared most. When seeing the old man’s poker face, Feng Xi had to hold back all the fawning words he wanted to say.

The aggrieved boy was locked in the coach at last while staring at the crowded street quietly as if he had lost his tongue…
