Chapter 3651 - The Power Brew

After all, surpassing more than 20,000 points relied on more than just one’s strength, but it relied on one’s luck as well. If one were lucky, one would run into more monsters. Naturally, it was not too special a feat. All of the top five strongest Ten Stars students had accumulated more than 20,000 points during a trial before. It was just that during the previous trial, no one managed to do so. The top ranker for the previous trial only managed to accumulate about 19,000 points.

“More than 20,000 points…. Your current points would have earned you the top spot in the past,” Ding Yan said with a sigh.

“You’re right.” Hou Qing Ning smiled wryly. Then, he looked at Duan Ling Tian with a complex expression as he said, “Based on Teacher Yu’s surprised expression, Duan Ling Tian undoubtedly accumulated much more than 20,000 points. I wonder how many points he accumulated exactly.”

However, since Duan Ling Tian did not wish to speak about it, Hou Qing Ning did not persist in asking.

Similar to Hou Qing Ning, Ding Yan and the others, including the teachers, looked at Duan Ling Tian curiously as well, eager to find out how many points he had accumulated.

The other Ten Stars students could barely contain their curiosity and began to speculate among themselves.

“Hey, hey, how many points do you think Duan Ling Tian accumulated to be able to shock Teacher Yu?”

“Ten years ago, I remember Teacher Yu didn’t even look so shocked when Hong Jun accumulated 24,000 points.”

“Then, do you think Duan Ling Tian accumulated 30,000 points?”

“That’s not impossible. After all, he’s the strongest among us.

It’s possible… After all, Duan Ling Tian is the strongest among us. Even Hong Jun had to use his divine artifact to withstand Duan Ling Tian’s attack even though Duan Ling Tian didn’t use his divine artifact.”

“The rankings will be revealed tomorrow morning. At that time, we’ll find out how many points Duan Ling Tian managed to accumulate.”

“We can only wait until tomorrow to satiate our curiosity.”

“I can’t wait for tomorrow to come!”

“If you’re so eager to know, why don’t you ask Duan Ling Tian about it?”

“Is there a point? He didn’t even reveal his points to Hou Qing Ning and Ding Yan. He’s clearly trying to maintain the suspense like Teacher Yu.”



After arriving at the Hidden Fog Academy, Duan Ling Tian prepared to return to his courtyard like the other Ten Stars students.

However, just as Duan Ling Tian, Hou Qing Ning, and Ding Yan were about to leave, Yu Qian Shan suddenly called out, “Duan Ling Tian. Come with me. The dean wants to meet you.”

Duan Ling Tian was briefly stunned. When he regained his composure, he followed Yu Qian Shan, leaving his two fellow students behind.

Hou Qing Ning smiled wryly as he watched Duan Ling Tian leave with Yu Qian Shan. “I was going to ask Duan Ling Tian about his points again during our journey back to our courtyards. I didn’t expect him to be called away by the dean.”

Ding Yan, who was standing next to Hou Qing Ning, only watched silently.



Yu Qian Shan led Duan Ling Tian into the heart of the area where the Ten Stars students’ courtyards were located. After walking into a thick fog, Duan Ling Tian discovered he had stepped into what looked like a paradise.

The air was permeated with the fragrance of flowers while the sounds of birds chirping melodiously rang in the air. From outside, the place seemed deceptively small, especially when surrounded by the student courtyards that were like stars surrounding the moon.

“This way,” Yu Qian Shan said as he led Duan Ling Tian to a pavilion located in the middle of the place.

The pavilion was built at the back of a courtyard of a huge mansion. It was surrounded by a few lush trees that Duan Ling Tian was unfamiliar with. The pavilion towered over the trees and into the clouds.

After arriving at the top of the pavilion, Yu Qian Shan said respectfully, “Dean Murong, I’ve brought Duan Ling Tian here.”

The top of the pavilion was empty, but as soon as Yu Qian Shan’s voice fell, Duan Ling Tian saw the void ripple and distort before a figure suddenly appeared.

The figure belonged to an elegant middle-aged man who was dressed in a snow-white robe. He was handsome, and his long hair fell neatly down his back. He looked scholarly, and his expression was aloof. He stood with one hand placed on his back when he appeared. He was none other than Murong Sui Feng, the dean of the Hidden Fog Academy and the Vice Sect Leader of the Hidden Fog Sect.

“You may leave.”

As soon as Murong Sui Feng’s voice fell, Yu Qian Shan bade farewell and left immediately.

With this, only Duan Ling Tian and Murong Sui Feng were left.

“Come and take a seat,” Murong Sui Feng said with a gentle smile on his face. He waved his hand casually, and a wine jar and two empty wine cups appeared on the table instantly. With that, he took a seat at the table.

“Dean Murong,” Duan Ling Tian greeted Murong Sui Feng. He did not hesitate to take a seat at the table.

Murong Sui Feng’s smile brightened when he saw Duan Ling Tian behaving decisively in front of him. He said, “Duan Ling Tian, I’m impressed by your decisiveness and straightforwardness. Students and even teachers would hesitate for a while when I asked them to take a seat.”

“It’d be a waste of time and energy if we’re too hung up on formalities,” Duan Ling Tian replied.

Under normal circumstances, it was rather rare for students to be seated at the same table with Murong Sui Feng. However, since Murong Sui Feng took the initiative to invite Duan Ling Tian over, Duan Ling Tian treated him as an equal. After all, to save his wife, Ke’er, in the future, he would definitely be stronger than a Lord of Gods like Murong Sui Feng. Hence, he did not feel inferior to Murong Sui Feng. Saying that, he would not have taken a seat without an invitation from Murong Sui Feng. After all, currently, he was still weaker than Murong Sui Feng. It would be unwise to offend Murong Sui Feng, a Lord of Gods, with his current strength.

“Very good!” Murong Sui Feng smiled brightly. Then, he poured wine for Duan Ling Tian and himself before he said, “I brewed this wine myself. It’s called the Power Brew.”

Duan Ling Tian was, naturally, unaware that Power Brew was named after Murong Sui Feng’s deceased disciple.

“Power Brew?” Although the name was peculiar, Duan Ling Tian was intrigued by the fragrance of the wine. When the fragrance wafted into his nose, he could feel his Divine Consciousness trembling slightly. He thought to himself, surprised, “This is no ordinary wine!’

“Try it,” Murong Sui Feng said with a smile, “Power Brew is incredibly beneficial to those who have yet to try it. Perhaps, after drinking it and consuming the Dragon Pattern Divine Grass that you’ll receive tomorrow, you’ll be able to break through and become an advanced god soon.”

Upon hearing Murong Sui Feng’s words, Duan Ling Tian emptied the wine from the cup in just one gulp. It slid down his throat before he even had time to savor its taste. Following that, apart from the burning sensation in his throat, he felt a mysterious force brewing in his body. He instinctively mobilized the Nine Dragons War Sovereign Technique and merged that mysterious energy with his Divine Energy. His eyes lit up as soon as he felt his Divine Energy had grown stronger from the fusion.

When Duan Ling Tian regained his senses, he looked at the wine jar intently.

At the same time, Murong Sui Feng took a sip from his wine cup before he poured another cup of wine for Duan Ling Tian and said, “You’re not supposed to drink the wine in that manner. You should slowly savor it. After having three cups, the Power Brew will lose its efficacy on you. Hence, you should slowly savor it.”

Murong Sui Feng felt it was a waste for Duan Ling Tian to have drained his wine cup so quickly. If it were another student, he would not have poured another cup of wine for that student.

Duan Ling Tian smiled sheepishly before he slowly savored his second cup of wine. His eyes lit up suddenly as he exclaimed, “The wine is magnificent!”

Duan Ling Tian did not drink wine often, but he had tried some of the best wine when he was in the mundane realms and the Devata Realms. The Power Brew was undoubtedly one of the best that he had ever tried. The Power Brew had a distinctive flavor that he had never tasted before in his life.

“Dean Murong, this is the best wine I’ve ever had! You brewed this yourself?” Duan Ling Tian asked as his eyes shone with a hint of anticipation.

As though he could read Duan Ling Tian’s mind, Murong Sui Feng shook his head and said, “The brewing process is not complex, but the ingredients are rare. I’ve only managed to brew three jars over the past 100 years. I finished a bottle myself and gave another to the Sect Leader. This is the last of the three bottles..”
