I Can Strengthen Everything

Chapter 265: Chapter 133: Results Are Out, Dragon Transformation Order

His gaze fell upon the young man beside him—Zhao Yuan, the sixteenth son of Emperor Longjing!

Although his cultivation couldn’t compare to Zhao Taiji’s, who had reached the True Essence Realm Great Perfection, he was still incredibly powerful.

He was at the True Gang Great Perfection!

A truly substantial level of power!

Sensing Fang Xing’s stare, Zhao Yuan offered him a slight, friendly smile. He said nothing before turning and departing.

"Let’s go. Come back to the mansion with me. We’ll head to the Dragon Transformation Pool tomorrow," Hong Miaojin said. Fang Xing nodded and left with her.

Seeing this, the crowd’s eyes flickered with thought before they, too, dispersed.

However, at this moment, most of the powerful and aristocratic families shared a single thought.

Investigate Fang Xing!

They had to uncover every detail of his identity!

——

Duke Zhen’s Mansion.

The Study.

Steward Wang arrived at the study door and bowed. "My lord," he announced, "the hunting competition has concluded, and the results are in."

"Come in and speak," Hong Xuanji’s voice drifted from within. Steward Wang respectfully entered the study.

At his desk, Hong Xuanji closed the report in his hands and looked at Steward Wang.

A wide smile spread across Steward Wang’s face. "My lord, the Young Miss took first place this time."

"Mm. With Jin’Er’s strength, first place was to be expected. What about Fang Xing’s results?" Hong Xuanji asked.

"Lord Fang also took first place! And his score—his points—were even higher than the Young Miss’s. He completely dominated the field!"

Steward Wang replied respectfully.

"Oh?" Hearing this, Hong Xuanji raised an eyebrow, a faint smile gracing his lips. "It seems this young man’s strength is quite impressive."

Steward Wang nodded. "Lord Fang is truly formidable. This is the first time someone with only a Peak True Qi Cultivation has taken first place on the True Qi Hunting List."

"This time, both the Young Miss and Lord Fang can enter the Dragon Transformation Pool to temper their Flesh Bodies and be utterly transformed."

Happiness was written all over the steward’s face.

Hong Xuanji nodded lightly. "Entering the Dragon Transformation Pool should allow them both to advance further. I just wonder if Jin’Er will have the opportunity to take that final step."

Hearing this, Steward Wang looked at Hong Xuanji and said, "My lord, with the Young Miss’s talent, she’ll certainly be able to. It’s only a matter of time."

Hong Xuanji smiled faintly. "Yes, Jin’Er’s talent is indeed exceptional; she inherited it from her mother. It’s a shame she’s had so little time. Still, this tempering will solidify the foundation of her Flesh Body. Even if she doesn’t make the breakthrough, she’ll still be able to advance."

Steward Wang nodded, beaming. "The Young Miss is exceptionally talented. She’s sure to become a pillar of our future."

"Go and arrange for the meal. Prepare some extra dishes that Jin’Er enjoys. When they return, we’ll eat together to celebrate their victory."

"Yes!"

Steward Wang nodded and promptly turned to leave.

Watching the steward’s retreating figure, Hong Xuanji’s gaze drifted out the window, and he fell into deep thought.

...

Jade Capital, Duke Zhen’s Mansion.

Fang Xing returned to the mansion with Hong Miaojin.

Steward Wang came forward, chuckling. "Young Miss, Lord Fang, congratulations on winning first place."

Hong Miaojin, who was in high spirits, looked at Steward Wang. "Where’s my father?"

"The Marquis is in the mansion. Young Miss, Lord Fang, please join him for a meal. He has arranged for a spread of delicious delicacies."

The two nodded and headed toward the dining hall.

Shortly after, they arrived in the dining hall. Steward Wang immediately had the dishes served and then turned to inform Hong Xuanji.

Hong Miaojin sat down freely, and Fang Xing took a seat beside her.

Looking at Fang Xing beside her, Hong Miaojin said, "Tomorrow morning, you’ll accompany me to the Imperial City. The Dragon Transformation Pool is located within its walls. This is a rare opportunity."

"Understood," Fang Xing nodded.

He, too, was intensely curious about the Dragon Transformation Pool.

On the way back, Hong Miaojin had given him a general overview of the Dragon Transformation Pool.

But to learn anything more, he would have to see it for himself.

Even Hong Miaojin had never been to the Dragon Transformation Pool; all she knew were rumors that had spread among the populace.

’This trip to Jade Capital City has really been an eye-opener.’

Heaven and Earth Secret Realms, Celestial Martial Saints... things rarely seen elsewhere, yet he had encountered them right here in Jade Capital.

Especially the Hong Wu Secret Realm.

Even now, Fang Xing couldn’t help but feel that he hadn’t had his fill of it.

It wasn’t just a Sacred Land for Cultivation, but also a paradise for harvesting Enhancement Points.

Probably no one knew exactly how many Fierce Beasts existed in the Hong Wu Secret Realm.

These Fierce Beasts didn’t all originate naturally in the Hong Wu Secret Realm. Some were born there, but others were captured and deliberately placed inside.

Otherwise, the annual hunt would have wiped them all out long ago.

——

Before long, a table was laden with delicious dishes.

A feast for the eyes, nose, and palate!

It was enough to make anyone’s mouth water!

Just then, Hong Xuanji’s figure appeared before them.

He had changed into a grand purple robe, which added to his imposing aura.

Upon seeing Hong Xuanji, Fang Xing immediately stood and bowed deeply. "My Lord."

Hong Xuanji smiled faintly, entered the dining hall, and waved a hand. "Sit. This isn’t the Observatory; you don’t need to be so formal here."

Fang Xing nodded and sat back down.

Hong Xuanji came forward and took the seat at the head of the table, his gaze sweeping over the two of them.

"You both performed well this time. Now that you can both go to the Dragon Transformation Pool, cherish this opportunity. Do not waste it."

Hong Miaojin smiled radiantly. "Don’t worry, Father. I definitely won’t."

Fang Xing said nothing, only nodding silently.

Hong Xuanji didn’t say anything more either. He simply picked up his chopsticks and began to eat.

The other two followed suit.

The three hours of frantic hunting had been incredibly physically demanding, and even Fang Xing felt hungry.
