Long Yi was gone, and Chen Feng had stood there for over an hour, looking utterly dejected.

The Dragon Clan elders had eyes as sharp as hawks and naturally understood the situation, yet these matters were far beyond their ability to intervene in.

"Alright!" Chen Feng let out a long breath. First-timers in romance are always exceptionally clumsy; even someone as iron-willed as Chen Feng, once his heart was stirred by a girl, took it very seriously.

To put it plainly, the primary source of his gloom stemmed from Ling Feng’s casual phrase, Suí Yuán (go with the flow/let fate decide). Those two words carried an implication of extreme irresponsibility, especially for a man like him, utterly inexperienced in love. Hearing that could send his imagination spiraling into unwanted territories.

In reality, there was nothing much to it; how could she respond properly in front of so many people? Perhaps that was the best answer she could give.

Chen Feng spent over an hour convincing himself with that excuse, which demonstrated that he, too, became lost when confronting emotional dilemmas.

He had initially intended to go to the Myriad Beast Cave to search for the Purple Qiong Vine Fruit, but with Ling Feng gone, all interest vanished. Since his objective was gone, he might as well visit the Dragon Domain; thus, he agreed to Long Yi’s request.

"Right, Elder, what exactly is this Five-All Competition you mentioned happening in two years?" Chen Feng suddenly recalled the Elder's earlier words.

"The Five-All Competition is a scaled-down version of the Ten-All Competition. Participants must be under sixty years old and possess cultivation levels below the Saint Domain. The contests only involve five categories, hence the name. The Five-All Competition in two years is hosted by the Fist Emperor organization, and they have invited members of our Dragon Domain. I was originally planning to send someone, but since we now possess the Profound Heaven Illustrated Catalogue, there's no need for us to participate!" Long Yi said with a smile.

"Who is the Fist Emperor?" Chen Feng asked, despite having heard the name. After all, his own Fist Emperor techniques were too profound.

"I don't know either. He has existed on this continent for ten thousand years—a profoundly unfathomable Battle Saint expert. He has never suffered a single defeat in all those millennia!" Long Yi replied.

"Fist Emperor… Fist Emperor. Is there any connection to the Fist Emperor techniques I practice?" Chen Feng muttered internally, secretly resolving, "I must meet him someday!"

"What is the connection between participating in the Five-All Competition and the Profound Heaven Illustrated Catalogue?" he inquired a moment later.

"When the Dragon God Yan Long fell, he warned the people of our Dragon Domain never to reveal our full strength before a new Dragon God appears. Inner disciples, especially, must not easily expose their true forms. Consequently, our Dragon Domain has never participated in the century-old Ten-All or Five-All Competitions!" Long Yi explained. "However, this upcoming Five-All Competition is completely different. It's organized by the Fist Emperor, who has boldly announced that if anyone wins the championship, he will gift one entry slot!"

"A slot?"

"Yes, a slot to enter the Profound Heaven Demonic Palace!" Long Yi confirmed. "One scroll of the Profound Heaven Illustrated Catalogue allows two people entry. The Four Divine Beast Clans, the Golden Crow, the Heavenly Snow Demon Territories, and the Magic Guild each possess one scroll. The Fist Emperor has one, and the location of the final scroll remains unknown. When the nine scrolls align, the gate to the Demonic Palace opens. That makes nine scrolls, or eighteen slots. The Fist Emperor’s disciple has already claimed one slot from his scroll, leaving one vacant. To secure this final spot, he organized this Five-All Competition—to find someone who can pair with his disciple!"

"He isn't going in himself?" Chen Feng was taken aback.

The Profound Heaven Demonic Palace was rumored to hold Divine Spark. For Saint Domain experts, the allure of Divine Spark surpassed everything; one need only look at how the Purple Twilight Lord was willing to abandon an entire Demon Territory for a single slot.

Yet, the Fist Emperor showed no inclination to enter the Demonic Palace, which was undeniably puzzling.

Long Yi shook his head. "I don't know about that either. Perhaps he has such confidence in his own power that he intends to overcome the Heavenly Tribulation and achieve godhood independently!"

To cultivate a Divine Spark through tribulation would result in a higher degree of compatibility with one's own being, allowing for greater power after ascension.

Chen Feng pondered this, concluding it was likely the only explanation. Otherwise, who would forgo the opportunity to obtain Divine Spark without fighting for it?

"What five things are tested in the Five-All Competition?" Chen Feng asked.

"The Five-All Competition tests Combat, Attack, Speed, Strength, and Endurance. Compared to the Ten-All Competition, it omits Wisdom, Agility, Reaction, Defense, and Adaptability," Long Yi stated. "The Ten-All Competition is a comprehensive assessment of a person; winning the championship requires achieving first place in every single category, making it exceptionally difficult!"

Committing these five criteria to memory, Chen Feng declared, "Reply to the Fist Emperor: the Dragon Domain will participate in the Five-All Competition in two years. I will compete!"

"What?" Long Yi exclaimed in shock. "Lord Dragon God, you intend to personally participate in the Five-All Competition? How can this be permissible?"

"Why not? I have decided!" Chen Feng asserted.

Hearing the firm decision from the Dragon God, Long Yi simply nodded in assent. "Yes, then let us return to the Dragon Domain now!"

Chen Feng responded with an acknowledgment, then took flight behind Long Yi, with Xiao Hu following close behind.

When arriving at "Beijing City," they used the Mandarin pronunciations from his previous life.
