They looked at Dazhuang with utter disbelief.

"It's one thing for the whole class to be two-star, but you two are already nearly three-star?"

"How is this possible!"

Especially for the Illusionist, who, as a standout among the younger generation,

understood the difficulty involved even more.

Back then, it had taken him a long time just to reach three-star!

This was simply incredible.

After all, many from his batch were still struggling at two-star,

without even touching the threshold of three-star.

Just how powerful was Dazhuang's talent?

Xiao He also looked at Dazhuang in shock; he never expected Dazhuang and his friends to be this powerful.

He had originally thought they were just Martial Artists with a bit of luck,

but now it seemed he had been mistaken.

His heart was suddenly filled with fear.

At this thought, Xiao He couldn't help but feel regret.

He regretted being so impulsive and provoking Dazhuang and the others.

Now he had truly kicked a steel plate.

Beside him, Xiao He's friends also looked at each other in dismay.

The other side already had more people,

and their strength was so formidable;

how were they supposed to compete?

Watching the terrified expressions of the Illusionist and the others, Dazhuang couldn't help but sneer inwardly.

These people really thought they were invincible.

They didn't even consider their own weight before daring to provoke them.

Truly laughable.

However, this feeling was quite satisfying.

The atmosphere at the scene began to grow quiet.

"Haha, I didn't expect to see so many young talents today."

Wang Damin came forward with a smile to smooth things over.

He hadn't stopped the conflict when it was happening.

For a Martial Artist, being hot-blooded was perfectly normal.

Besides, both sides were young,

so a small conflict didn't matter much.

Wang Damin remembered being the same way when he was young.

However, after hearing about the strength of Dazhuang's classmates just now,

Wang Damin was truly shocked.

What did it mean to be a Genius?

This was a true Genius!

He had originally assumed Dazhuang and Xiao Jing were Martial Artists who had changed classes the previous year,

so he hadn't paid them much attention.

But now it seemed he had been wrong.

Terribly wrong!

"Alright, alright, everyone please take your seats."

Dazhuang and the others picked a spot and sat down.

"How was it, Brother Feng? My performance just now was alright, wasn't it?" Dazhuang said with a grin.

"Not bad, you didn't embarrass your father," Qin Feng said with a laugh.

Although Qin Feng didn't like looking for trouble, he wasn't afraid of it either.

Furthermore, at this celebration banquet of the National Martial Artist Guild,

there wouldn't be any life-threatening danger.

So, he hadn't stopped Dazhuang earlier.

Plus, with Dazhuang's current Level,

his value far exceeded that of Xiao He and the others.

The Guild president should be able to tell the difference.

And the result was exactly as he had expected.

"Haha, this is the second Realm of the 'Dao of Posturing' that I've researched."

Dazhuang said triumphantly, and Qin Feng and Xiao Jing couldn't help but laugh.

The celebration banquet officially began.

However, while some were joyous, others found it dull and tasteless.

After three rounds of wine and five courses of food, the atmosphere of the banquet grew even more intense.

Just then, a figure suddenly stepped onto the stage, drawing everyone's attention.

It was the president of the National Martial Artist Guild, Wang Damin.

He cleared his throat and said loudly, "Everyone, today is our National Martial Artist Guild's celebration banquet. Thank you all for coming."

"This celebration is mainly for our Vanguard Squad that cleared the dungeon."

"Of course, there is also a very important person who didn't make it to the scene."

"I'm sure everyone can guess who it is."

"That's right, it's Mr. Red-Haired Emperor!"

Below the stage, Qin Feng was stunned for a moment. Was he talking about him?

He was suddenly caught between laughter and tears.

He hadn't expected to be brought into this.

"Of course, calling him an important person isn't enough to describe the Red-Haired Emperor."

"He is a benefactor of our Huaxia!"

"If it weren't for the Red-Haired Emperor creating a brand-new cultivation technique, the 【Dark Forest】 dungeon would not have been conquered!"

"The consequences would have been unimaginable!"

"Unfortunately, we do not know his identity."

"However, he must be a highly respected elder."

Qin Feng stroked his non-existent beard... Wait, was he really that noble?

He hadn't expected this at all... He felt a bit embarrassed.

"Now, I propose that we raise our glasses and toast to Mr. Red-Haired Emperor together!"

"Thank you, Red-Haired Emperor!"

A thunderous sound erupted from the scene.

Qin Feng was also among them.

But it felt a bit strange.

He hadn't expected that coming here for a meal would lead to being praised so lavishly.

So shy!

The banquet continued.

Because Dazhuang had shown his strength,

no one came to bother Qin Feng.

This made Qin Feng quite satisfied with his meal.

Moreover, the dishes at the scene were truly delicious.

To be honest, since his Transmigration, Qin Feng had been working hard at writing,

and his daily meals were just something he threw together.

Only when he went out for barbecue with Dazhuang was it slightly better.

Today, he could finally feast to his heart's content.

Big lobsters, big abalone... the texture was excellent.

Sweet with a hint of salt—it was the taste of the sea!

Delicious!

During the meal, people occasionally came over to toast Dazhuang,

and each time they would praise Dazhuang and the others as outstanding young men, handsome in appearance,

with a future that would surely shine brightly.

Even Qin Feng, who was beside them, was included.

Even someone as thick-skinned as Qin Feng was a bit embarrassed by the praise.

However, he also lamented to himself

that people who could work in the Guild were not simple;

at least their way of speaking was incredibly pleasant.

After a while, Wang Damin came to Qin Feng's table with a wine glass.

"Dazhuang, Xiao Jing, and this..."

"President, this is Qin Feng, my good buddy," Dazhuang hurriedly introduced.

"And Student Qin Feng, come, let's have a drink together."

Wang Damin held up his glass, and they clinked them together.

After drinking, Wang Damin spoke, "Dazhuang, it's thanks to you this time."

"Otherwise, who knows when this dungeon would have been cleared."

"Student Qin Feng, you're Dazhuang's classmate, aren't you? You're also quite talented."

"By the way, are you also about to become a Three-Star Martial Artist?"

Wang Damin was quite discerning; the other's temperament was unusual,

and he likely was a Genius as well.

Why were there so many geniuses this year?

He thought back to yesterday, when someone had completed a dungeon as difficult as the 【Martial Arts Dungeon】 in just ten minutes.

Was Huaxia destined to rise this year?

At this thought, Wang Damin felt a faint excitement in his heart.

Huaxia had been silent for too long.

If it continued like this,

there would eventually be no more Huaxia.
