Chapter 199 Zhiyu’s Blessing

The atmosphere in the room suddenly turned a bit awkward. Abuda smiled slightly, “Love is not a commodity, but a princess is a responsibility, bearing the life and death of hundreds of thousands of citizens of the Ice Spirit Kingdom. This is no place for frivolity. Talent is only part of it. I do not deny my abilities, but they do not match the position of Prince Consort of the Ice Spirit Kingdom.”

“So you mean being able to fight is enough?” Wang Feng said with a smile.

“It’s not that simple. Personal valor is just the bravery of a single man. One must have vision and the ability to lead a kingdom, to earn the trust of the people!” Abuda said earnestly.

Wang Feng shrugged. To be honest, what he said made sense. Aota was not only skilled in combat; he was also the Prince of Winter.

“Master, Master, Wang Feng is very strong. Wang Feng, tell them about your reputation!” Xuecai said anxiously, as she was actually quite afraid of Abuda because his words always made sense.

Abuda smiled slightly, “Xuecai, have you been keeping up with your studies?”

Xuecai immediately hid behind Tatashi and fell silent.

“To change the game, the strongest on the Nine Heavens Continent are still runes. Ordinary warriors use the first three orders of runes, which account for ninety percent. Both the Blade and the Nine Gods have been focusing on developing the third order in recent years. This is a way to quickly enhance the strength of an entire army. I don’t know about talent, but my luck has always been good. Recently, while seeking inspiration in the Ice Spirit Kingdom, I really discovered a new third-order rune.”

The room fell silent for a moment, then everyone laughed. Abuda Zhebie smiled slightly, “It’s been over a hundred years since a new third-order rune was discovered. In the past twenty years, only one new first-order rune has appeared.”

“Yes, the one I found.”

Abuda and the others were taken aback. "The messenger of Thor was discovered by you?"

"Absolutely genuine, I am Rose Wang Feng." Wang Feng puffed out his chest, letting his regal aura spread.

"Your Majesty, first of all, the princess and I are mutually in love," Wang Feng thought to himself, knowing he wasn't lying. "Secondly, to be worthy of the princess, one must have sufficient ability. I came to Ice Spirit to seek inspiration for discovering new runes. Perhaps it was the stimulation of love, but I didn't find the third-order rune..."

"See, see, everyone heard that. He didn't find it, yet he just said he did. What a liar!" Aota immediately jumped up, fearing that Wang Feng might use some delaying tactic. Inspiration could take a thousand years to find.

Wang Feng smiled. "That was a slip of the tongue. I originally intended to discover new runes, but unexpectedly, I found a way to merge the first, second, and third-order runes. In other words, the fusion rune that the League of Blades has been seeking for over a hundred years."

Instantly, the entire hall fell silent. Even Xue Cangbai furrowed his brow. Since the formation of runes, countless rune masters had believed that the first three orders of runes could be fused to create special powers. It was even rumored that the Supreme Saint had mentioned this. This would significantly enhance the strength of ordinary warriors, which was crucial for humanity. Both the League of Blades and the Nine Gods had invested enormous resources in this area, far more valuable than creating a higher-order rune.

"That's impossible!" Abuda Zhebie immediately denied it, shattering everyone's hopes.

Aota laughed heartily. "Master is absolutely right. We should send this liar back to his Aurora City!"

Xue Cangbai's expression turned cold. This person was clearly talking nonsense. The problem that humans on the Nine Heavens Continent had failed to solve for a hundred years couldn't possibly be solved by an eighteen-year-old hothead.

"Wang Feng, perhaps you really found some clues. At this moment, you should return to the Rose Holy Sanctuary and focus on your cultivation. Don't waste your talent," Abuda said. "Your Majesty, since he can discover new runes, he must have talent. Your Majesty, don't be angry. I think it's best to let him return to the Rose."

The atmosphere in the hall turned cold, and Wang Feng helplessly shrugged his shoulders. "Senior, you’ve got it wrong. I didn’t just discover some clues; I’ve already completed it over the past few days. I thought of naming it ‘Zhiyu’s Blessing.’”

"Wang Feng, actually, we don’t need to—” Xue Zhiyu felt that this lie was getting too big. If it thoroughly angered the king, he wouldn’t be able to leave.

"Zhiyu, it’s true. I originally planned to give it to you as a surprise gift. Since we’re talking about it today, it’s perfect to demonstrate. Love is the best inspiration for creation."

"Summon Luluto!" Xue Cangbai said sternly. He couldn’t stand this smooth-talking southerner in front of him. "Wang Feng, if you’re lying, don’t blame me for being merciless."

Shit, what a fierce father-in-law. Luckily, I’m just an actor.

"Your Majesty, please rest assured. If anyone here finds the result unsatisfactory, I will accept any punishment!" Wang Feng stood proudly, damn it, everyone move aside, I’m about to show off.

There were naturally Lulutos in the palace, and one was quickly brought over along with the accompanying rune engraving knife.

Seeing how docile and affectionate the Luluto was in Wang Feng’s hands, others might have marveled, but Abuda Jiebie’s eyes showed no surprise. As a rune expert, this was basic knowledge.

He had never doubted Wang Feng’s identity as a genius rune master. From the moment he picked up the engraving knife, he believed it. The confidence that almost overflowed from his every gesture made Abuda Jiebie believe that Wang Feng truly ‘mastered the third order,’ and he was absolutely proficient at that level.

But fusion runes...

Wang Feng started with the introductory "Quadrant Language" of the Third Order. Abuda Jiebie's gaze never left Wang Feng's engraving knife. There were significant issues with this Quadrant Language. The technique appeared very proficient, but there were numerous asymmetries and disconnections in the details, which made Abuda feel an urge to hit someone. The combination of skill and bizarre distortion was intolerable for any rune master with OCD.

The heroes present, though not rune masters themselves, could still tell that something was off. It was impressive for someone his age to dare to work with Third Order runes, but this just didn't measure up to what the princess deserved.

A dramatically disjointed Third Order Quadrant Language gradually took shape. Then, Wang Feng began to embed the Second Order "Soul Pool" within it. The originally awkward and disjointed parts became more harmonious with the addition of the Second Order Soul Pool. Abuda, who had been somewhat indifferent, now began to glow with interest, while the others in the room were already lost.

Can this be connected?

At the critical junction, Wang Feng's engraving knife suddenly began to vibrate rapidly, turning into streaks of light...

This is the advanced technique of a caster—exquisite detail???

No, how can exquisite detail be used here?

By this point, the entire room had fallen silent, and everyone's breathing had become heavy. The runes were beginning to form, and they were... three-dimensional runes???

These are three-dimensional runes???

No one had ever thought of it, and even if the idea occasionally crossed their minds, they would laugh it off. Every connection in the rune must be handled with utmost caution; if it couldn’t work on a flat surface, how could it possibly work in three dimensions?

"Even the final touch was inspired by Lǐn Dōng. Please take a look!" Wang Feng said with a smile.

The final touch, the finishing stroke, was the "Emperor’s Blessing" from the First Order.

While everyone could understand the individual runes, when they were engraved together, no one could make sense of them. The seemingly chaotic runes before their eyes actually merged into a three-dimensional form. When the final line sealing the soul pool connected to the Warrior’s Blessing, the runes, which had previously been lifeless, began to interact and blend in a visible manner!

They started to attract and entwine each other. The blue light from the soul pool and the red light from the Emperor’s Blessing gradually merged, eventually transforming into a completely different orange hue, emitting a golden glow that poured entirely into the Quadrant Language...

This...
