Chapter 347: Counterattack and Finding Treasures

Translator: Sparrow TranslationsEditor: Sparrow Translations

…

If there was one day when you just happened to be participating in a very important fighting competition and the opponents around you were more or less equal in power, right at this moment, you suddenly realised that you had a breakthrough.

Many strange and different thoughts suddenly flooded your mind and the strength of your body suddenly surged, instantly overpowering your opponents.

Would you be very happy?

Chen Feiyu had recently been deeply stuck in this joy, almost unable to pull himself out from it. In the Court Theory Examination, his results were actually not too bad.

Ranking number twelve in the Rising Dragon Roll, he had managed to attain fifth position in the theory examination, ranked just behind Wu Feng. It was already an extraordinary feat.

However, that didn't have any use.

Because, nobody would ever pay attention to this rank. After all, on top of him, there was Nangong Hao, there was Fang Zhengzhi, there was Yan Xiu, and there was Wu Feng.

Those that people paid attention to would always be those who had the possibility of obtaining champion.

As for what was below the champion?

They were just non-entities serving as contrasts. No matter how talented they were, they wouldn't attract much attention from others.

Chen Feiyu's background was naturally not lowly. He was the direct descendant of one of the thirteen constabularies. His elder sister was the dynasty's Imperial Concubine Hua Fei, even Ping Yang had to call him uncle.

Of course, this was just as useless.

Chen Feiyu had been extremely talented all his life. There were quite many notable incidents. For example, being able to recite poems at the age of seven, and being able to write beautiful, life-like calligraphy at the age of nine.

However, very unfortunately, it was still useless.

Because, his elder sister, the current Imperial Concubine Hua Fei, could recite poems at the age of six, and had extraordinary calligraphy skills at the age of eight. Hence, when Chen Feiyu brought the first poem of his life to his father at the age of seven to seek his praise, his father had only glanced across it and sighed.

”Passable!”

Then, the rest of Chen Feiyu's life seemed to have landed into some sort of curse.

Number twelve in the Rising Dragon Roll was already an impressive result. However, people only cared about the top ten, at the very most, they might discuss about the number eleven who had the opportunity of entering the top ten.

As for the number twelve?

Who had the time to care about that!

Not bad, manageable, passable.

These became the most common phrases Chen Feiyu heard in his life.

Not too long ago in the horseback hunting competition in the hunting grounds of the Eastern Suburbs, the same thing had happened. Chen Feiyu's horseback skills were extremely impressive. However, nobody had paid any attention to him ever since the start of the competition.

Because, in front of him there were the number six and number seven of the Rising Dragon Roll, Xiang Tianying and Tang Zhongming. Further down, there were still Ninth Prince Lin Yun and Princess Ping Yang.

Then…

As somebody who didn't have too much chance of entering the top three, nobody paid any attention to him.

This was something very saddening. Even more saddening was Fang Zhengzhi had gained more attention than him, riding a Mud Striped Horse! This was simply his miserable life fortune.

Nobody cared about the number five in the Court Theory Examination, nobody cared about the number four in the horseback hunting competition, ever since they had entered the Southern Mountain Range and began the combat examination, everybody's attention were all on Nangong Hao and Wufeng.

And even when Chen Feiyu specially inquired about the intelligence sent to Ninth Prince Lin Yun.

The intelligence report only mentioned about how Wu Feng was doing, how Nangong Hao was doing, how Yan Xiu was doing. However, Chen Feiyu, who occupied the Thunder Lion Main Settlement wasn't mentioned at all.

Why wasn't he mentioned.

He had also occupied one of the four main settlements, how could they not report that?

Chen Feiyu was very affected by his!

To be born within the thirteen constabularies, wasn't that noble? To be ranked twelveth in the Rising Dragon Roll, wasn't that impressive?

However, Chen Feiyu's life seemed to have been destined to be a black hole, going back and forth along the edges of glory, yet always existing as a black hole.

Not only couldn't he become a main character, he wasn't even qualified to play a supporting role. If he had to be described as something, it would be an utility man with a name.

Even then, people had to ask.

Does anybody still remember who Chen Feiyu was?

Alright…

Chen Feiyu's destiny this entire life was a huge word, ”misery”.

However, it was alright.

Chen Feiyu had a breakthrough, going from the Heavenly Reflection Peak State into the Supernatural Beginning State. Even though he had just broken through, it was definitely a path that went against his fate.

This caused Chen Feiyu to feel extremely excited, so excited that he couldn't even contain himself.

He had full confidence that him of the Supernatural Beginning State would definitely enter the top few of the Rising Dragon Roll.

He wouldn't think about challenging Chi Guyan and Nangong Hao yet, however, disabling Wu Feng and suppressing Fang Zhengzhi and Yan Xiu's arrogance would be very possible.

Leading the army and making it prosperous, strengthening the military powers, swallow humiliation and bear a heavy load upon his shoulders, and creating a great uprising in one move to become the brightest star in this combat examination, that was what Chen Feiyu currently thought.

Having taken over the Thunderous Lion Main Settlement, he had twelve thousand troops. Even though it was still some distance away from Wu Feng's twenty thousand troops, Chen Feiyu wasn't afraid.

As long as Wu Feng dared to come!

He dared to attack Wu Feng head on.

Hence…

Wu Feng came, advancing with his great military strength, sending troops towards him from the two directions of the Yan Ya settlement and the Shi Zun settlement in an attempt to take down the Thunderous Lion Main Settlement in one fell swoop to become his third base.

Chen Feiyu only laughed at this.

Pretense!

Let me see how long you can pretend. He could almost imagine Wu Feng's exaggerated and shocked expression when he realised that he had entered the Supernatural State.

”Impossible, Brother Fei Yu, how could you breakthrough to the Supernatural State so quickly? This… this is simply unbelievable!”

”Ha ha ha… A person's life would always have to change at one point. For example, now is my time!”

Every time Chen Feiyu imagined this situation, he would always tremble slightly in excitement. He wanted these people to remember very clearly that this world didn't only consist of Nangong Hao, Wu Feng, Fang Zhengzhi and Yan Xiu.

There was also himself, Chen Feiyu!

Come, you better come, come carefully, don't sprain your back!

Why would the thirteen constabularies be named the thirteen constabularies? Why were the thirteen constabularies so closely united together? The reason was because the thirteen constabularies were the thirteen forces that had followed the Founding Emperor in establishing the Great Xia.

The thirteen constabularies, born in the battlefield, built upon generations of friendly settlements, bonded by the same beliefs.

There was a saying that had been running around in the Great Xia Dynasty.

”If the thirteen constabularies remain standing, the Great Xia Dynasty will never die!”

If the Great Xia Dynasty was described as a large, tall tree, then the thirteen constabularies were doubtlessly the stems of the Great Xia Dynasty, stems that extended deep into the earth.
