Chapter 1361: Demanding Benefits
Ling Feng's face was bitter: "Your Majesty, you truly have high expectations for me. I'm only at the Early Divine Realm, whereas Chen Xun is at the Peak of Divine Realm! Even if I accept, I don't have full confidence!"
The Divine Emperor looked at Ling Feng with a half-smile: "Not full confidence? How much confidence do you have?"
Ling Feng coughed lightly, surprised that the Divine Emperor caught the flaw in his words. He shook his head: "I have no confidence at all..."
"If you have no confidence whatsoever, then what use are you to me!" Suddenly, a powerful aura surged from the Divine Emperor, pressing down directly on Ling Feng. He looked at Ling Feng with an emotionless gaze: "Now tell me, how much confidence do you have?"
Ling Feng felt bitter inside; the Divine Emperor really did go big when disagreements arise! From the look of things, if he maintained his previous attitude, he might truly be ruined!
"Well... I think I still have a fifty percent chance!" Ling Feng said cautiously, "Of course, if Your Majesty could give me some support, I believe my confidence would increase!"
"Father, what are you doing!" Princess Mingyu noticed the Divine Emperor's pressure on Ling Feng and said discontentedly: "I hardly have any friends, Father, do you really want me to end up with no friends at all?"
The Divine Emperor quickly withdrew his aura and said apologetically: "Mingyu, I was just joking with my young friend Ling Feng. I wasn't planning to do anything to him, right, young friend Ling Feng?"
Ling Feng cursed inwardly, but still put on a smile: "Princess Mingyu, His Majesty is right, he's just giving me a little test!"
"Really?" Princess Mingyu asked, half-believing: "Alright, I'll trust you this time."
The Divine Emperor felt a little jealous; he'd said so much, yet his daughter didn't believe him, while that little brat only said one sentence and his daughter believed him!
Remembering just now when his daughter even gave a peck to that little brat, the thought made the Divine Emperor's teeth itch.
Looking up at the grilled fish and the campfire, a hint of heartache flashed in the Divine Emperor's eyes; those koi were his treasures, yet they ultimately fell victim to his daughter's whims.
Princess Mingyu, noticing the Divine Emperor's gaze, had a somewhat evasive look on her face.
The Divine Emperor sighed; those koi might be treasures, but what do they compare to his daughter?
He walked over, picked up a fish that was nearly done grilling, and took a bite: "Not bad, but a bit unevenly grilled, some parts are charred!"
Princess Mingyu was taken aback by the scene: "Father..."
The Divine Emperor waved his hand and said: "What are you waiting for, do you expect me to grill the fish for you? Ling Feng, hurry over here and continue grilling."
Ling Feng touched his nose and, following the advice, went to the grill and continued with the grand endeavor of grilling fish.
Princess Mingyu breathed a sigh of relief, it seems her father won't hold her accountable for eating the koi.
"Father, you've had one, the next is mine!" Princess Mingyu jumped next to the Divine Emperor, saying cheerfully.
After eating two grilled fish, the Divine Emperor stopped, then looked warmly at the gleefully eating Princess Mingyu.
"Ling Feng, earlier you said you have a fifty percent chance, is that true?" Suddenly, the Divine Emperor asked.
Ling Feng nodded: "That's right, although Chen Xun is very strong, I'm no pushover either!"
The Divine Emperor nodded: "If that's the case, then I'll entrust you with the task of intercepting Chen Xun! But before that, you must guarantee our realm's victory on the Heavenly Battlefield! If you can secure the ultimate victory, I can promise you one request; as long as it is within my power, I will grant it!"
Ling Feng's heart trembled slightly; this is the Divine Emperor's promise, its value is simply immeasurable!
Ling Feng pondered for a moment and said: "Your Majesty, if you want me to successfully intercept Chen Xun, I'll need certain things!"
The Divine Emperor frowned and asked: "What do you need?"
"Elixirs!" Ling Feng replied seriously: "I assume Chen Xun, as the son of General Ling Wei, surely has life-saving elixirs at hand. I need some elixirs that can quickly restore my strength; that way, I'll be more confident!"
If Ling Feng didn't seize the opportunity for benefits, it wouldn't be his style!
The Divine Emperor squinted his eyes and then waved his hand, three medicine bottles appeared before Ling Feng.
"These three medicine bottles: the white one contains elixirs that restore strength, the red one contains elixirs that unlock potential, which shouldn't be used unless absolutely necessary, and the green one contains healing elixirs that can immediately heal any physical injuries unless the Divine Soul is hurt!"
Ling Feng's eyes lit up; he quickly stored the three bottles into the Devil's Ring; these three bottles really were good things.
"I've provided the items for you, the rest is up to you now!" The Divine Emperor said calmly: "If you succeed, I'll ensure you are honored and your wishes fulfilled, but if you fail and let Chen Xun win, you should know the consequences!"
Ling Feng chuckled: "Your Majesty, rest assured; on the Heavenly Battlefield, I guarantee Chen Xun won't get any opportunity!"
Even if it weren't for the Divine Emperor's mission, just for the wound Chen Xun left on him, Ling Feng wouldn't let him off!
After finishing the grilled fish, Ling Feng rested in his room, feeling somewhat weak; it was his first encounter with such a powerful being, who was also the highest authority in the Divine Realm.
Undeniably, the Divine Emperor's charisma was indeed strong; before Princess Mingyu, he was a doting father without any imperial airs.
"Victory for the Divine Realm?" Ling Feng shook his head slightly; his goal was to enter the Angel World.
Though the Divine Emperor's promise was tempting, it wasn't what Ling Feng truly desired.
By midday the next day, the Sea of Gods Realm selection was also completed, and Ling Feng and his companions joined the commotion; the competition for the Sea of Gods Realm was even more brutal than for the Divine Realm.
After fierce battles, the final ten were decided, and Yan Feishuang came ninth, just three Abyssal Stones ahead of the tenth. Though risky, he ultimately obtained the Heavenly Battlefield qualification as he wished.
In the crowd, Situ stared viciously at Ling Feng's back view.
When Ling Feng sensed something, he turned but found nothing: "Could I be too sensitive?"
"Useless, you're utterly useless!" A raspy voice echoed in Situ's mind from a corner: "Do you know how much risk I took appearing in the Divine Court, yet you lost your Heavenly Battlefield qualification? Were it not for your previous obedience, I would have killed you long ago!"
