Chapter 2205: All Eyes on Feng Wu
While everyone was forming their own ideas, suddenly —
The “hedgehog” suddenly rumbled.
That sound…
All cultivators knew what that sound was.
A breakthrough.
That wasn’t right!
Everyone almost jumped to their feet.
The arrows had been shot by a Level 5 Spiritual Lord, and they would have been very powerful!
Feng Wu was only a Level 7 Spiritual Elder. She was way too weak…
There was no way that she could survive those arrows.
However…
However…
They suddenly realized that something wasn’t right.
Not only was there the rumbling sound of Feng Wu the “hedgehog” making a breakthrough, spiritual essence was rus.h.i.+ng toward her as well.
“So, Feng Wu is the one who’s having a breakthrough, not that Level 5 Spiritual Lord,” Lord Mu murmured to himself.
Feng Wu began to move.
She rose to her feet and straightened her back. As a result, all the arrows on her back fell to the ground.
She then spread her arms with her eyes closed, as if she was absorbing the energy of Nature.
Master Dugu looked like he felt quite sorry about that.
“Feng Wu… She’s not dead?” The smile froze on Ranmil’s face, and she didn’t know what else to say.
Empress Dugu felt the same way.
Master Dugu didn’t let his face betray him.
He said, “Miss Feng Wu is very lucky. She just happened to be making a breakthrough when the arrows. .h.i.t her. She was thus protected by the power of Nature, which was why, as a Level 7 Spiritual Elder, she could…”
He stopped mid-sentence.
That was because —
He saw how dense the spiritual essence around Feng Wu was.
“Is she really a Level 7 Spiritual Elder?” Empress Dugu was perplexed.
Most people here had been Spiritual Elders before, and they knew how dense the spiritual essence should be.
Master Dugu, for instance, could tell right away that Feng Wu was facing a Level 5 Spiritual Lord, so why couldn’t see what level Feng Wu was at?
In fact, he could, but he wouldn’t believe it.
“That’s impossible!” He rubbed his eyes.
That was how shocked he was.
“Father?” Empress Dugu wasn’t an advanced cultivator and couldn’t tell the difference.
But many people in the room could.
“A Spiritual Lord? Since when did Feng Wu become a Spiritual Lord? Isn’t she a Spiritual Elder?” Emperor Wu asked in bewilderment.
Lord Mu and Master Dugu looked at each other, and both nodded. “We met Miss Feng Wu yesterday. She was a Level 7 Spiritual Elder then.”
Emperor Wu said, “But she’s already a Level 4, no, Level 5 Spiritual Lord now!”
Spiritual Lords were already very rare in the empire.
If she could reach the peak of the Spiritual Lord stage, she might even get a t.i.tle. Of course, that didn’t mean that she would become a genuinely influential official.
From a Level 7 Spiritual Elder to a Level 5 Spiritual Lord…
The difference between the two levels was bigger than between heaven and earth!
