Hearing Xie Yue's words, Whale Shark slowly calmed down.
His long and sharp eyes looked down at Xie Yue beside him, "Tang Feifei...?"
Xie Yue was an Evil God whose appearance closely resembled that of a human little boy. He was only about one meter forty in height, small in stature. His face, pale as a sheet of paper, lacked vitality, giving him a somewhat eerie look.
Furthermore, it was unclear whether he was born with this appearance or if it was related to his Cataclysmic ability, as his gaze was empty and lacked spirit, as if soulless.
Hearing Whale Shark's question, Xie Yue emotionlessly nodded. His unfocused eyes responded, "Yes, Tang Feifei. She is that Third-Order Peak martial arts Catastrophist."
"Moreover, if I remember correctly, she is also the direct granddaughter of Old Man Tang, the core future figure cultivated by the Fengtian Faction."
"She is not easy to deal with."
Upon hearing Xie Yue's words, Whale Shark let out a cold "hehe" laugh, "What bullshit direct granddaughter! Future core!"
"In my eyes, she's just an ordinary human!"
"She dares to snatch my position as Domain Master, she should be prepared to bear the price of my anger!"
With that said, he smoothed his hair.
He was quite tall, about two meters and fifty centimeters, and broad-shouldered with a wide waist, like an iron tower.
But his deep blue hair, which contrasted with his disposition, gave him a playful demeanor as it floated like seaweed in the water.
At this moment, after ridiculing Tang Feifei, it was as if he remembered something and suddenly blurted out, "Wait a minute."
"Tang Feifei announced this morning that she became the Domain Master, a Fourth-Order Disaster Changer."
"But it wasn't until tonight that the Xinjie Territory was taken over."
Upon hearing Whale Shark's words, Xie Yue, with his vacant gaze, reasoned, "That's actually understandable."
"She must have already reached Third-Order Peak long ago. She just needed some resources to break through."
"And Refining the Area Center takes some time. She might have been quietly refining for quite some time."
"And had already nearly crossed the threshold."
"And in the past two days, she obtained those resources she needed to break through to Fourth-Order. Seizing the chance of the Fourth-Order impact, she accelerated the Refining of the Area Center!"
"In this way, once she breaks through to Fourth-Order, she can immediately draw on the power reserved for the Domain Master and reach the extreme peak of Peak Fourth Rank!"
Having said that, Xie Yue reached out and scratched his pale, paper-like face, emotionlessly saying, "Do you remember... that Monkey that was leaping up and down the other day?"
Upon hearing Xie Yue's words, Whale Shark nodded.
Xie Yue said, "I now suspect... that Monkey was actually Tang Feifei."
"She used some kind of transformational Cataclysmic treasure to change her appearance deliberately, provoking us by kite flying within the Xinjie District."
"One reason is, as long as she is in the Xinjie District, she can continuously Refine the Area Center."
"The second is, she can disrupt our Refining of the Leyline Nodes' timing."
Hearing Xie Yue's words, Whale Shark nodded thoughtfully.
He felt that Xie Yue's analysis was very likely.
Identifying the enemy who spoiled his plans, Whale Shark's square face became twisted and ferocious.
With a cruel grin, he said, "Now that we've found the enemy, let's go meet her!"
Done talking, he picked up the one meter forty Xie Yue and placed him on his shoulder.
Then he strode towards an Array he had set up.
On the way to the Array, Xie Yue, with his pale face and vacant eyes, asked, "What do you plan to do?"
"Now the Xinjie District already has an owner, unless we kill her, there seems to be no way to turn things around."
"We don't have Zhao Ji's ability to forcibly infiltrate a region."
Hearing this, Whale Shark bared his sharp, spike-like teeth with a grin.
"I don't plan to reverse the situation. But it's not that easy for a human to become a Regional Controller."
"If it were so simple, then those few human Fourth-Order Disaster Changers could just join forces, attack a weak Fourth-Order Evil God, seize the Region, and Refine it, right?"
"She can become the Regional Controller, but she still has to pass the test! Hehehe...."
With Whale Shark's boastful laughter, his and Xie Yue's figures slowly vanished within that Array.
Simultaneously, the world inverted.
In Xinjie City, the Military, City Hall, a burly man and a little boy slowly opened their eyes...
After a moment, at the Longshan Road villa area, an Elder also slowly opened his eyes...
At the same time, Qiu Tu remained unaware of the plot conceived by Whale Shark and Xie Yue to sabotage "Tang Feifei's" ascent as the Xinjie Regional Controller.
At that moment, after he had finished studying the information from the "World Origin," he also began slowly to receive the enhancements of the "Xinjie District" to his strength.
That sensation was very peculiar...
It was as if, outside of his body, he suddenly had an invisible, intangible "Clone," or "Positional Frame."
That "Clone" or "Positional Frame" seemed able to directly augment his strength. But yet... it wasn't him.
He could use the power within, could even merge with this "Clone" "False Frame," turning it directly into his own strength!
But... there was always a barrier.
Though it was relatively smooth and convenient to use, he could distinctly sense that it was not his power, but rather "borrowed."
And more importantly, his "Clone" and "False Frame" did not instantly boost his powers completely.
Instead, it was growing slowly yet steadily.
At first, the enhancement to Qiu Tu was not substantial, but after an hour, Qiu Tu felt as though his "total" strength had grown considerably.
