Inside the palace.
Luo Feng, who was already dissatisfied with Flame Emperor, was infuriated.
Force Armor belongs to me, he thought. Whether I am able to use it or not—and whether I might lose it or not—has nothing to do with you! I'm here to take the Force Armor under Master Zuo Shan Ke's command, and all you need to do is give me the Force Armor! Why're you rambling?
Though Luo Feng was full of anger, his only choice was to suppress it.
Flame Emperor looked at Luo Feng, grinning. "Brother," he said, "train yourself well and become a universe knight. Then you can use the Force Armor."
Luo Feng smiled. "Second brother," he said. "I was able to survive being hunted by all the great beings in the universe without Force Armor. If I can get Force Armor now, I'll be much more powerful and far less likely to die. You don't need to worry about me, second brother. Just give me the Force Armor."
"Don't take any chances!" Flame Emperor shouted. His voice trembled Luo Feng's soul. "Force Armor is a super true treasure desired even by universe masters. How can you dare attempt to try your luck?"
Flame Emperor stared at Luo Feng. His power permeated outward like a physical force, suppressing Luo Feng like mountains.
"Force Armor may have belonged to you, but it was, after all, created by Master Zuo Shan Ke after endless time and energy. You should be able to guarantee that you won't lose it. I'm doing so for your own best interests. Train yourself and become a universe knight, then I'll give you the Force Armor."
Flame Emperor's voice rumbled, shaking Luo Feng's soul. However, Luo Feng's willpower was robust, and even without Tower Pearl, it was as strong as that of a universe overlord... Flame Emperor was only a powerful universe master proficient in close combat. He wasn't able to change a universe overlord's mind with his voice alone.
"Second brother, do I sense that are you reluctant to give me the Force Armor?" Luo Feng gazed at Flame Emperor.
Heng!
Flame Emperor suddenly became furious, and the entire palace was trapped in anger. His power suppressed Luo Feng.
"Third brother," Flame Emperor said, "I've been keeping the Force Armor for you for hundreds of millions of years under the order of Master Zuo Shan Ke, and I'll give it to you when you're strong enough! Although you can utilize the Force Armor, you're still weak, and I'm doing this for your best interest! If you lose the Force Armor, you'll disappoint Master Zuo Shan Ke."
"Don't worry about that." Luo Feng was firm. "I'll tell Master Zuo Shan Ke myself if I lose it."
"Tell him? How're you going to tell him?" Flame Emperor asked him.
"It's none of your business," Luo Feng answered.
"Just because you've accomplished a little bit, you became so arrogant?" Flame Emperor shook his head.
Luo Feng looked at Flame Emperor and said calmly, "No need to say more, second brother. I'm here today to take Force Armor. Are you going to give it to me or not?"
"You're not powerful enough—" said Flame Emperor.
But Luo Feng cut him off. "I don't have the power to take it from you if you're not willing to give it to me. My only recourse is to tell Master Zuo Shan Ke later. If Master Zuo Shan Ke thinks you should still keep Force Armor, I won't bother you again." Luo Feng slightly bowed. "I'll show myself out."
Luo Feng turned around and started to leave. Flame Emperor was startled. He had never said that he was unwilling to give up Force Armor! He wanted Luo Feng to back off on his own... Flame Emperor believed that if Luo Feng gave up, Master Zuo Shan Ke wouldn't meddle. After all, it was Luo Feng who conceded first. Flame Emperor couldn't say no directly, as it contradicted the order of Master Zuo Shan Ke.
