King of Gods Chapter 1583 - The Center of Attention

Chapter 1583 – The Center of Attention

Sunharbor City's fate had been completely overturned by the stunning beauty and extraordinary talent of the Lu Clan's twin genius daughters.

Far off in the distance, five individuals and a cat fixed their gazes on the splendid and towering city. At the front was a youth boasting sharp eyes and a reckless grin. Resting on his shoulder sat a sleek silver-black cat. This was none other than Zhao Feng.

Among the four trailing behind him were Huo Qingfeng and Blood Spirit. The remaining pair consisted of servants Zhao Feng had recruited along the way, each at the Imperishable Realm.

Experts of the Imperishable Realm held little interest for Zhao Feng.

The instant Zhao Feng's group stepped into Sunharbor City, they drew massive attention.

“Whose clan does this young master hail from? Four Imperishable Realm guards at his side!”

“So what? That Young Master Wei who arrived before had a Chaos Heaven Realm protector!”

Talk remained just talk. The crowd promptly cleared a path whenever Zhao Feng's group appeared.

Once inside Sunharbor City, Zhao Feng directed his servants to collect intelligence. He assigned Huo Qingfeng to handle the new auction house branch.

Zhao Feng himself started strolling around. Partly to scout the lay of the land, partly to acquire needed materials.

“Over a hundred suitors have shown up at the Lu Clan! Their main hall can't even hold them all!”

“Those Lu Qin’er and Lu Fei’er are just too gorgeous! Sigh, marrying even one would make my life complete!”

“Watch your mouth! You're insulting the fairies!”

Chatter throughout Sunharbor City centered on the Lu Clan's two genius daughters. Thus, they earned the titles Fairy Qin and Fairy Fei.

These twins weren't just drop-dead beautiful—enough to make fish sink and geese tumble from the sky—but also gifted beyond measure. At merely fifteen, they had hit peak Star Origin Realm, just a hair from Divine Transformation Realm.

“Heard the news? With so many proposals flooding in, most too big for the Lu Clan to refuse, they've set up a competition. Only the champion gets to wed into the Lu Clan!”

Winning one of the fairies would demand unparalleled talent, no doubt.

Though some suitors grumbled, most backed the plan—especially the royal family. And so it was decided.

“Looks like I'll need to crush every other competitor....” Zhao Feng murmured with a sigh.

His Dream Origin had stirred the second he entered Sunharbor City. Zhao Feng knew without question that Lu Qin’er and Lu Fei’er were Liu Qinxin and Zhao Yufei.

Nearby experts froze at his words, all turning to spot the speaker. “Hmph, some clueless brat with no sense of the world's immensity!”

“A puny initial Star Origin Realm dreaming of a fairy? What a frog eyeing swan flesh!”

Sneers erupted from the crowd right away.

Only the top-tier talents and powerhouses had come proposing. Age meant nothing in this contest.

Moreover, the rules dictated that victory came solely through personal cultivation and prowess to impress the fairies.

“Haha, just for saying that, if we cross paths in the contest, you're dead!” Arrogant laughter boomed from the crowd's rear.

The masses parted, letting a haughty youth stride forward.

“That's Hua Tianfeng, Heavenly Capital Peak's prodigy! At twenty, he's already initial Divine Transformation Realm—a true freak!”

“He's among the top favorites to win, and he's got a nasty streak. This kid's caught his ire now—bad news!”

Onlookers retreated a bit.

Zhao Feng simply turned and departed, paying the youth no mind.

“Halt! Who said you could go?” Hua Tianfeng lunged to bar Zhao Feng's way.

Zhao Feng had boasted of beating all rivals, including him. No way Hua Tianfeng would let such a young upstart humiliate and escape.

Meowmeow!

The little thieving cat cast a sympathetic look at Hua Tianfeng.

This only fueled Hua Tianfeng's fury. Ignored by a kid and now a cat too!

“Get lost!” Zhao Feng's expression turned icy as he eyed Hua Tianfeng.

The instant their gazes locked, Hua Tianfeng sensed his soul crushed beneath endless mountains, nearly blacking out.

Zhao Feng calmly strode past Hua Tianfeng and vanished.

“What... just happened?” Only after ages did Hua Tianfeng recover, soaked in cold sweat.

He whipped around, but Zhao Feng was long gone.

Spectators exchanged baffled glances. The brutal Hua Tianfeng had stood dumbstruck, letting Zhao Feng walk free.

“Get lost!” Enraged, Hua Tianfeng bellowed, scattering the crowd before storming off. “Damn you! Next time we meet, you'll beg for mercy!”

With intel gathered, Zhao Feng snapped up heaps of premium materials and went into seclusion.

Upon exiting seclusion, his four servants stood reverently outside.

“Your reward.” Zhao Feng flicked his sleeve, hurling four radiant orbs pulsing with power.

Huo Qingfeng eyed the crystal-veined sword ahead. Its infused Wind energy sent shivers through his heart.

“Heaven-level top-class!?” Blood Spirit gasped. Before him loomed a vicious red hook, its demonic aura nearly driving him wild with desire.

The other two servants gaped in shock, faces alight with ecstasy. They too had received Heaven-level top-class divine weapons.

“Move out! We're joining the Lu Clan's contest. Don't embarrass me there.” Zhao Feng marched forward.

A month in seclusion had passed, and today marked the contest.

“Yes, Master!” The four clutched their treasures and hurried after, thrilled.

The group quickly arrived at the Lu Clan estate in the city's south.

By now, myriad martial artists jammed the Lu Clan surroundings, making it tough to push through for a glimpse.

Boom!

Blood Spirit, Huo Qingfeng, and the other servants released their Imperishable Realm auras, forcing the throng back in terror.

Zhao Feng guided his four followers and cat straight into the Lu Clan.

At that moment, the Lu Clan's central plaza hosted over one hundred twenty exceptional youths. Some radiated ferocity, others poise and grace, a few chilling menace.

Off in the distance stood Lu Clan elders, elite powerhouses, and the proposal targets: Lu Qin’er and Lu Fei’er.

Every eye locked onto these two beauties.

Lu Fei’er had crystalline eyes and porcelain skin. Lu Qin’er sported raven tresses cascading like a waterfall, her solemn poise exuding otherworldly grace despite her tender fifteen years.

Zhao Feng slipped into the plaza amid the prodigies, drawing scant notice. His initial Star Origin Realm seemed pitifully weak next to these elites.

“Him!” Hua Tianfeng noticed but held back.

Here, every move was watched by the fairies.

Yet the Lu Clan fairies couldn't resist glancing at Zhao Feng. Tired of genius after genius, they sensed an odd familiarity from this youth.

Half a day passed:

“Time to start!” the Lu Clan patriarch said to the black-robed elder beside him.

This elder represented the Azure Net Kingdom's royalty, proposing for the Tenth Prince—the frontrunner among suitors.

“Excellent! Let the contest commence. Only the victor earns the right to wed my precious daughters!” the Lu Clan patriarch proclaimed.

Lu Clan leaders rose, unleashing energy that formed a colossal vortex passage over the plaza.

“Go!” A crowned handsome youth dashed first—Young Master Wei.

The Azure Net Kingdom boasted countless great cities, but Young Master Wei's Great Dragon City ranked among the top three.

A dragon-robed golden youth soared up next, trailing golden draconic trails. This was the Azure Net Kingdom's Tenth Prince.

The rest of the prodigies followed into the vortex, Zhao Feng included.

With all inside, the vortex faded away.

A huge screen materialized overhead, projecting the contest arena.

Gray, roiling mist engulfed Zhao Feng.

“Illusion array?” Zhao Feng pierced it instantly.

Even initial Divine Transformation Realm foes would struggle against this haze.

The Lu Clan, facing too many suitors, designed the first trial to cull most. Hence the tough illusion.

Viewers outside saw clearly through the fog.

Geniuses inside wore varied faces: joy, sorrow, dread. Some lashed at the mist. Only about thirty stayed clear-headed, deploying secret aces.

Hua Tianfeng brandished a jade pendant. Its golden glow swirled protectively, banishing the illusion.

Other geniuses unleashed their tricks.

All believed they'd pass. They raced ahead to dazzle the fairies.

Outside, the crowd buzzed with excitement at the prodigies' clashes.

“Huh? Who's that? He's blazing past everyone!” a voice yelped.

Heads turned. A slender white-clad figure, barely visible in the gray, sliced through like wind, eyes gleaming, utterly immune to the illusion!

“Impossible! Initial Star Origin Realm, yet untouched by the illusion!?”

“And he's way outpacing all the geniuses!”

“Who is that guy? How!?”

The outside erupted in shock. Eyes shifted from favorites to Zhao Feng. Even Lu Fei’er and Lu Qin’er stared in disbelief.

Moments later, Zhao Feng burst free of the illusion. The hot favorites lagged at midpoint.

Spotlight now on Zhao Feng, Imperishable Realm elders and Chaos Heaven Realm bigshots reeled in surprise.

Soon after, Young Master Wei and the Tenth Prince burst out neck-and-neck.

“I'm first!” they bellowed together, surging with full might. But emerging, they spotted a figure seated cross-legged ahead.

“What!?”

“Who's that!?”

The duo gawked. Unthinkable—someone beat them here. They'd swallow losing to a rival they'd respect, but this? Some overlooked Star Origin Realm nobody.
