"Problem, which aspect are you referring to?"

"Overall strength. I've noticed that many drivers in the Zana Republic seem to have a reputation that exceeds their actual skill. Their driving abilities don't match up with the rumors, like the early Mengdie. Even Raymond's talent seems slightly inferior to Sky Shadow Jiu Ling. Effort determines the baseline, talent defines the ceiling, but fortunately Raymond's persistence makes him passable."

After all, Mu Tou was also a persistent genius, so Feng Yi had objections to Eggy's remarks, "Effort can also be considered a part of talent, huh. The last one with a bye should be Soaring Sword Dragon, right?"

"Exactly, that guy who has lost to you over and over. That covers the entire Mecha Battle contest schedule. With the virus evolution, there are now no fewer than 18 countries that have seen virus mutations. The competition has overshadowed many issues, and the organizers even considered whether to cancel the Mecha Battle contest. Luckily Kexiao has taken effective preventive measures, so as to prevent the infection from reaching Dragon Gate."

"Viral evolution..." Feng Yi mused on the term mutation, "Do you think this is good news, or a bad sign?"

"It's hard to say. Effective pandemic measures are crucial. Currently, three different types of evolved viruses have been found, first appearing in the Gent region of Porto Country. This could be a turning point, especially the M-type virus with its low lethality and high transmissibility. But I don't consider this good news for humanity as it might slowly evolve over time. Up to now, 32 countries have started developing vaccines, but progress is slow. I think this is only the beginning. Although I don't believe in God, it's very likely the start of what either Roland or you have encountered."

Feng Yi shook his head gravely, "The virus is not to be feared. The fifth season will step into winter, and the future I foresee certainly won't be this simple."

"Then what will it be, an invasion of alien civilizations, or self-destruction of mankind?"

Feng Yi was silent for a while before shaking his head slowly, "I can't remember well. The things seen subconsciously upon waking slowly fade away. It's as if there's a certain level involved and a special force forcibly confines it, shrouded in a layer of fog. What can be remembered is what has already happened."

During their conversation, Feng Yi casually glanced in the direction of the Martial Arts Arena, where the fierce battle was still ongoing...

He then turned to Eggy, "The time shouldn't be too late. We should prepare in advance. I've already explained some of the things that needed to be said to Greedy Wolf Kexiao. They should have their own views on facing everything that might happen. Apart from living in the present, humans have no other choice."

Beyond the Twin Star Realm, in the V583 coordinates of the Dark Devil star cluster, a space suddenly vibrated and then returned to normal...

That day, Feng Yi and Eggy talked about many issues they had not had time to discuss before, including dreams, interests, hobbies, and various bits of life.

It wasn't until the sun rose from dawn overhead and gradually set again that the secret battles between the sects finally drew to a close.

From time to time, Feng Yi's distracted gaze would dart towards the progress of the four major sects. He noticed that at first, the sects were able to maintain a balance of power until a disciple named Shu Ke from Holy Hall stepped up, immediately reversing the situation.

Shu Ke had never been defeated. He didn't even suffer a scratch and was bathed in a pale golden glow, standing tall like an iron man, unaffected by the repeated assaults from the various sects.

This so-called reversal wasn't just in martial arts. After continuously defeating three sects, Holy Hall broke the usual convention by setting three articles in advance. They were open to challenges from any sect — no, from anyone present. If Holy Hall lost the fight, they would accept and fulfill any demands made by the three major sects. However, if they won, they would overturn past practices. This wasn't really a tradition to begin with. If Holy Hall prevailed, all they sought was an inter-sect marriage alliance to create a century-long friendship with the major Huaxia sects to forge a glorious era for Ancient Martial Arts, much like the Nangong Family.

This sudden statement rendered the major sects speechless... When had there ever been marriage proposals in the midst of chief battles? The chief battles were all about winning glory for their own sects to create higher value, but Holy Hall's approach was tantamount to infiltrating the Huaxia sects—marriage was a pretext, their real purpose was clear.

Who would have thought that Yanhuang Soul would be the first to stand up and express approval? Yanhuang Soul has always been known for embracing the strengths of hundreds of schools, and they were naturally overjoyed. However, Tianyin Sect and Jade Clear Sect were different, with both sects renowned for their mystery.

Even so, the terms Holy Hall proposed were not excessive. Left with no valid rebuttal and after exchanging a glance between Wu Tian and Qing Yin, fortunately, they proposed a rule: unless someone from Holy Hall could overpower the champions from the major sects, there would be no discussion.

Holy Hall agreed without hesitation, and to everyone's surprise, the male disciple named Shu Ke had perfected his golden body to the highest level, with extremely formidable physical strength, fearless of any opponent. In other words, the inner circle disciples from the major sects struggled to withstand his powerful attacks, and their own attacks on Shu Ke were essentially ineffective.

Apart from the Nangong Family, who were proficient in Illusion Techniques, almost no one could restrain him. Even Mengdie's Enchantment Technique seemed trivial in front of this robust and somewhat dull man. Faced with the gap in strength, Jade Clear Sect had no choice but to send Mengdie back into the fray. The battle between the two lasted from noon till afternoon. Although Shu Ke couldn't catch up to Mengdie, as a man he naturally had the advantage in physical strength. On the other hand, Mengdie was already panting and exhausted... Despite her composed appearance, her disordered breathing made it clear that she was also running out of energy, having narrowly escaped Shu Ke's close-range combat several times.
