Chapter 127: Leaving the City to Meet Luo Bing
At this thought, his gaze became steady once more.
Reviewing information during this period had given him a clearer understanding of Demigods.
Among Demigods, only those possessing a Divine Kingdom with Foundation Establishment Realm believers could truly hold a place of significance.
By relying on a large number of Qi Refining Realm believers and the support of Formations, one could certainly fight to the death against the Foundation Establishment Realm, but that was too reckless for Yang Fan's liking.
What he wanted was always safety and absolute crushing power.
Furthermore, once Foundation Establishment Realm believers were born, the power of the Ten Yama Halls Formation he mastered would undergo a qualitative change.
As for the higher-level Core Formation Realm, Yang Fan knew very well that it was almost impossible to appear during the Demigod stage.
The rules of the Divine Kingdom itself imposed restrictions; unless one possessed a special Cultivation-type Divine Kingdom Talent, the probability of a Demigod having Core Formation believers was too low.
Just then, a communication notification suddenly rang out.
Yang Fan was slightly taken aback and tapped open the light screen.
It was a message from Luo Bing.
"I'm inside a Sightseeing Vessel outside Taichu City. Is it convenient for you right now?"
Her tone was as cold as ever, but compared to before, it carried a bit more careful sense of propriety.
Yang Fan raised an eyebrow. "Why did you come all the way here?"
"My father asked me to come."
Seeing this sentence, Yang Fan already had a rough judgment in his mind.
He didn't press further but instead contacted Tang Yue. "Can Family members enter Taichu City?"
"No. Taichu City has strict access permission restrictions; only those holding a passkey can enter," Tang Yue replied.
"If Your Highness has relatives or friends visiting, I can accompany you outside."
"Alright."
Outside Taichu Star, circle after circle of massive Sightseeing Vessel orbits surrounded the planet.
As one of the two most prosperous core planets of the Human Federation, the halo of Taichu Star had long since ceased to be just about the "Academy"; it was a symbol.
Even if they couldn't truly enter Taichu City, simply watching from afar beyond the star rails still attracted countless people to cross Star Domains to come here.
Some spent years of savings just to stand before the porthole of a Sightseeing Vessel and catch a glimpse of that legendary city.
Some traveled from several light-years away just to take a photo and prove they had once been "close."
Everyone knew that those who could truly enter Taichu City were few and far between.
Out of hundreds of millions of people, there might only be one.
But it was precisely because of this that it appeared increasingly sacred. The more unattainable it was, the more people flocked to it.
Under this halo, the tourism industry around Taichu Star had flourished to the extreme.
—
Inside the Sightseeing Vessel, the crowds were like a weaving loom.
Geniuses, students, and practitioners from all over passed back and forth between the corridors and observation decks, either talking excitedly or stopping to take photos.
In a relatively quiet corner by a porthole, Luo Bing stood silently.
She had her arms crossed, leaning against the transparent energy glass, her gaze fixed on the distance.
Luo Bing's expression at this moment was very complex, containing longing, confusion, and a hint of irrepressible unwillingness and frustration.
She was like someone standing outside a door, watching that door which had never opened for her.
"Am I… really that far behind him?" Luo Bing asked in a voice only she could hear.
Luo Hai had already sent her that video, and she had barely slept all night.
That youth who had risen from Class 7 to Class 1 in his third year of high school.
The person who, in her memory, was still stuck in the position of "striving to catch up to her."
Without her realizing it, he had already reached a height she could not touch.
The Demigod Realm—in the Tianshui University she currently attended, even among the seniors who were graduating, not many could enter it.
Yet Yang Fan had only been at Taichu Academy for a short time and had already crossed that threshold.
This was no longer a "gap," but a "fault-line" lead.
The gap between people is never widened step by step.
Sometimes, it's just a single door. Some people stand outside looking up desperately, while others have already walked inside.
And the moment the door closes—you can't even see the direction in which to chase.
Just then, a young man dressed in luxurious clothes walked over with a confident smile and a composed pace. "Beautiful lady, I am from the Nan Family of Mo City…"
"I don't have time, don't bother me." Luo Bing didn't even turn her head, her tone cold, concise, and direct.
The man's smile froze.
Luo Bing was already stunningly beautiful with a cold and otherworldly temperament; she had attracted many gazes along the way, and many Young Masters had taken the initiative to strike up a conversation.
But without exception, all were shut out by her.
The Young Man Surnamed Nan's expression turned slightly ugly, but under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he couldn't easily lash out. He could only force a slight smile: "In that case, farewell."
With that, he turned and left.
The love of beauty is universal.
Encountering a beauty during a journey and wanting to step forward to get acquainted was originally a very normal thing.
Being rejected was a bit embarrassing, but it wasn't enough to cause an ugly scene.
He had only walked a few steps when he was surrounded by several companions.
"Brother Nan, you failed before you even started! Didn't you just say you could easily win her over with this face of yours?"
"Exactly, you announced your Family name as soon as you went up, that's cheating. We agreed to rely on looks." Another person patted his own face, laughing mischievously.
The Young Man Surnamed Nan wasn't annoyed either. He shook his head and smiled: "She's an ice beauty, hard to handle. A twisted melon isn't sweet."
After a pause, he lowered his voice: "But her temper is indeed not great. I don't know which Family she's from, she has no cultivation at all."
"Probably from some small place," someone chimed in. "Otherwise, why would she speak so aggressively, leaving no room at all?"
The group walked and laughed, their tones carrying a hint of mockery and disdain.
In their understanding, the better the Family background, the more emphasis they placed on propriety and etiquette.
No matter how arrogant they were inside, they would maintain basic decency on the surface.
True scions of noble families rarely stated a rejection so bluntly. They were better at using gentle methods to make the other party back off.
An attitude like Luo Bing's—concise, direct, and merciless—seemed to them to be a "lack of upbringing."
Meanwhile.
Inside Taichu City.
Tang Yue had arrived at the entrance of Yang Fan's courtyard.
As the courtyard gate slowly opened,
the moment her gaze fell upon Yang Fan, she was completely stunned.
That kind of aura was something she was all too familiar with.
The aura was in Perfection, faintly harmonizing with heaven and earth.
This was—a Demigod!
"Your… Your Highness, you've made a Breakthrough to Demigod?" Tang Yue said excitedly.
One must know that Tang Yue was a Third-Order God, and her knowledge far exceeded that of ordinary people.
But even so, at the moment she saw Yang Fan break through to Demigod, she still found it difficult to remain calm.
It had been less than half a year since the start of freshman year, yet he had crossed from a Divine Being into the Demigod Realm. This growth speed had already surpassed the vast majority of students with S-grade talents.
With Yang Fan's performance, it was even possible for him to strike for the evaluation of "Peerless Prodigy" during his university years.
After a brief moment of shock, Tang Yue quickly regained her composure, her demeanor becoming even more respectful.
The stronger Yang Fan's potential and the higher his future achievements, the resource rewards she could obtain as his Dao Protector would also rise accordingly.
"It was a lucky Breakthrough."
Yang Fan's tone was casual, as if he were speaking of something extremely ordinary.
Hearing this, Tang Yue's mouth twitched slightly, but she didn't say much.
She quickly came back to her senses and said solemnly: "Where is Your Highness headed on this trip? And who are you meeting?"
"The Sightseeing Vessel outside the city. My wife."
Tang Yue was startled, then immediately nodded: "Understood."
She didn't ask any more questions but quickly mobilized her permissions.
The next moment, an exclusive spatial spaceship was directly summoned.
The spaceship's shape was streamlined and cold, overall dark silver, with its surface covered in complex energy patterns. Multiple sets of weapon modules were hidden on both sides of the hull, with faintly visible muzzles and guide rails emitting a dangerous aura.
"Your Highness, this is a short-range transport spaceship equipped by Taichu City for the Human Race Prodigies," Tang Yue explained while guiding Yang Fan to board.
The spaceship soon started, and space vibrated slightly.
The next moment, the spaceship appeared directly in the sightseeing area outside Taichu City.
