The Strongest Talent Tree

At the mention of Dream Dragon Immortal, the image of a beautiful, wild, and arrogant figure couldn’t help but surface in Feng Hao’s mind.

Back in the Huaxia District of *Mage*, there was a guild called the Dream Dragon Pavilion. It was the undisputed number one guild in Huaxia, and even ranked among the top-tier guilds across all global servers.

And the leader of the Dream Dragon Pavilion was this female player with the game ID Dream Dragon Immortal. She was rumored to be the heir to a wealthy family who spent a fortune on the game without batting an eye.

Of course, Dream Dragon Immortal wasn’t just some ordinary whale. Her technique and mechanics were also top-notch. Although she was always outmatched by Feng Hao in the China Region, her individual skill was definitely among the best of all female players.

Furthermore, in the subsequent God-Sealing Battle, she earned the title of the number one Female War God. She had even teamed up with Feng Hao to brutally crush Solos countless times.

When it came to Dream Dragon Immortal, Feng Hao had only one feeling: a massive headache.

This was because the woman had once led a group of her subordinates to make a bold declaration on the world channel: she was going to capture Feng Hao and bring him back to the Dream Dragon Pavilion to be the guild leader’s wife.

Feng Hao was used to being a lone wolf back then and had no interest in joining a guild, so he had flatly refused.

As a result, he was subjected to a frenzied hunt by the Dream Dragon Pavilion. This large-scale operation wasn’t to kill him, but to capture him alive and drag him back to the Dream Dragon Pavilion to be the Lady of the Stronghold.

As a proud man, Feng Hao would rather die than submit, which led to a great many bizarre incidents later on...

In short, when Feng Hao learned that Huaxia was now Dream Dragon Immortal’s territory, his immediate instinct was to reject the very idea.

Still, this might be a good thing. If that woman still remembered their old ties, she would probably take care of his family. Of course, it was also possible that her affection had turned to hatred, leading her to do something vicious. There was no helping it; Dream Dragon Immortal was just that unpredictable.

"If you get the chance, Brother Solos, please help me look into it," Feng Hao said, shaking his head with a wry smile.

"Alright, I’ll do my best."

Feng Hao nodded wistfully, then asked in confusion, "By the way, what are you doing all alone in a place like this?"

Solos had an aggrieved look on his face. "I’m not an idiot. Why would I come here on purpose? I was teleported here as soon as I entered the [Origin Node]. Before I even had a chance to run, I was surrounded by a huge pack of Snow Demons."

"Well, you’ve had it rough." Feng Hao smiled in realization, then looked up in surprise. "Huh? Do people from Earth call it an Origin Node too?"

"Not originally. We used to call it a [Dungeon Entrance], but after we had more contact with Mages from the outside world in the Secret Realms, everyone started calling it that."

Feng Hao nodded in understanding, then mused for a moment before asking, "Earth is just starting out now. If you need anything, you can tell me. I might not be doing so great myself right now, but I can still scrounge up some Magic Crystals and materials."

Solos looked stunned. "We’re not short on resources, actually. What we’re lacking most are Demon Patterns and all kinds of knowledge."

"Are you sure you’re not short?" Feng Hao asked in disbelief.

"Why would I lie to you? I’ve got tens of millions of Magic Crystals on me right now. We’re not short on materials at all," Solos said, looking like he was loaded.

Feng Hao didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He glanced at the mismatched gear Solos was wearing and shook his head. "What good are a few tens of millions of Magic Crystals? Here, take this. It’s ten billion Magic Crystals."

With that, he tossed him a Spatial Ring.

Solos caught the Spatial Ring and took a look inside. He was so shocked he staggered back and took a long moment to come to his senses. "This... this is... this is too much, isn’t it?"

"Too much? It’s not much at all," Feng Hao said with a hint of resignation. "It’s a good thing I’ve got a little business running now. Otherwise, I wouldn’t even be able to come up with this much."

Solos cradled the Spatial Ring and asked cautiously, "Are you sure you want to give this huge sum to me?"

"Sigh..." Feng Hao lamented wistfully. "From our current perspective, you and I are from the same home. It’s only right that I do what I can to help our people. Maybe someday in the future, I’ll find a way to go back to Earth."

Solos pondered for a long time, then said with a serious expression, "Mad God, don’t worry. I will make proper use of this enormous sum."

"As long as you understand what I mean. Here’s another ten billion. This is for Dream Dragon Immortal. If she remembered our past friendship and protected my family, give this Spatial Ring to her. If not, then you can keep it."

Feng Hao took out another Spatial Ring. With this, he had practically given away his entire fortune. Fortunately, his general store was doing good business, so he didn’t have to worry about Magic Crystals for the time being.

"There’s more?!" Solos was completely dumbfounded.

Feng Hao gave a faint smile and handed him the books and jade slips he had accumulated. "Earth shouldn’t be lacking in knowledge about secondary professions. These are some books and jade slips I’ve collected. They contain records of over a hundred common Demon Patterns currently in use. In addition, there’s also some knowledge about Magic Energy Mechanisms. I hope it can help you all."

"Don’t worry, Mad God. I know what to do." Solos nodded gravely. The few small books and jade slips felt incredibly heavy in his hands.

If it were anyone else, Feng Hao would have never entrusted them with so much. The reason he trusted Solos was mainly because he knew the man’s character. He was sure Solos could also recognize the dire situation Earth was in.

After giving Solos a large batch of resources, Feng Hao continued to ask about the situation on Earth.

Through their back-and-forth, he gained a clearer understanding of Earth’s current situation.

The major powers on Earth were all searching for the secrets of the game *Mage*, but unfortunately, no one had figured it out yet. Most of Earth’s settlements were busy fending off invasions from otherworldly monsters.

Feng Hao also learned that the *Mage* servers were destroyed the moment the apocalypse began. This very likely happened right when he logged off, which meant his transmigration might be related to the servers’ destruction.

’But there were so many people online at the time. Why was I the one who transmigrated?’

These were puzzles that could likely only be solved by returning to Earth.

For the first time, the idea of leaving the Ancient Cang Realm as soon as possible began to sprout in Feng Hao’s mind. But the situation in the Ancient Cang Realm was rather unique: leaving was easy, but getting back in was difficult, unless one could open the ancient seals.

’I should just forget it. I’ll think about all this after my strength reaches a certain level,’ Feng Hao thought with a self-deprecating laugh.

Solos had also recovered from the shock of the twenty billion Magic Crystals. He looked at the three people cleaning up the Snow Demon corpses in the distance, a hint of curiosity in his eyes. "Are those three your friends from the Ancient Cang Realm?"

"Mhm," Feng Hao nodded with a soft chuckle.

"They all look pretty tough. Can I spar with one of them?" Solos asked enthusiastically.

Feng Hao rolled his eyes. "They’re no match for you."

"That’s true. Based on the local Mages I’ve met in the Secret Realms, none of them could put up a fight. Last time, I ran into some guy who claimed to be the number one genius of some planet or other, and I showed him up so bad he looked like a roasted pig," Solos joked.

"..." Feng Hao was speechless.

Just as the two were chatting idly, Xiyue Frost and the other two, who were clearing the corpses, suddenly cried out in surprise.

"Sister Tiao, after it! Don’t let it get away!" Houhuiyao shouted excitedly. "Haha, I can’t believe a Magic Soul actually appeared in this place."

Xiyue Frost couldn’t hide her excitement. She hastily dropped the Snow Demon corpse in her hands, hoisted her greatsword, and charged toward Houhuiyao and Man Tiaotiao.

Feng Hao, of course, also heard Houhuiyao’s shout. Without a second thought, he rushed over to provide support.
