Dual Sword God - Chapter 52: The Power of Dawnwing! Miren Fie Goes to Battle!

At the summit of the sky, above Machen Town.

Feng Yu and Dai Lin watched as the form of Miren Fei disappeared following a flash of light, quickly she appeared on the golden square along with her competitor. It was a woman with short black hair, wearing a blue martial robe shouldering a thin one-inch sword on her back, a symbol of a raindrop was on the right corner of her martial robe. She looked at Miren Fei with a look of pure indifference.

As Hui Ying saw this girl, he couldn't help but speak. "It seems that this will be a tough battle for your female retainer Brother Feng," he said with a slightly serious tone.

Feng Yu hearing this did not knit his brows but looked on calmly, he then cased his gaze towards Dai Lin as he asked: "Dai Lin, how would you truly assess Miren Fei's and Lang Kuang's strength?"

Dai Lin paused for a moment as he tapped his forehead with his finger slightly, he then responded. "Young Master, If we were to talk about pure offensive power and dominating might, then Lang Kuang would dominate most opponents within his realm due to his Special Body. As for Miren Fei, while she lacks offensive power, her special traits and unique cultivation technique make up for her weakness as she has unrivaled defensive power and control based skills."

As he heard Dai Lin's analysis Feng Yu nodded, Lang Kuang who was at at the side looked on in shock as he cautiously observed Dai Lin, he thought to himself. "It seems the Squad Leader was doing more than just offering training during our spars."

"See Brother Ying! My Dawnwing members will be capable of handling themselves," said Feng Yu with lifting light shining in his eyes.

"Oh! We'll see then," replied Hui Ying as he looked at Miren Fei interested in her special traits and abilities.

"Isn't that charming jade!" a common cultivator shouted as he saw her jade-like form.

The Major Influences observing started to clamor the moment they saw the girl with the rain symbol engraved on her robes.

"That girl is an outer disciple of the Rain Sword Sect, while she is not among the top brass her strength is no plaything." said a man that seemed to know a great deal.

"Eh? What's that symbol on the jade haired girl's Gi robes? A sun behind a mountain, is this suppose to represent the rising sun?" a man asked curiously.

"It seems to be a representation of Dawn, but if one looked closely around its edges, some wings are connected to the left and right of that sun and mountain. So it should be 'Dawn' and 'Wing', an influence probably called Dawnwing!" replied a scholarly looking man as he inspected the design.

"Ah! Dawnwing! An interesting name where does it come from?" asked an influential party.

"I have not the slightest clue, but, I do know that the young girl with the jade hair is called Charming Jade in the circle of rogues. She is also the servant of that youth from the local Feng Clan of Machen Town," replied the scholar looking, man, as he observed Feng Yu.

"His confidence is something, it seems we are in for quite the show..." said the scholar looking man.

The Golden Dragon Empire Xun Yanshan, Bright Flame Kingdom Xin Lie and a few other powers paid close attention to the female with jade hair.

At the side of the Feng Clan, Feng Yunlong looked at this battle with interest as he spoke to Junling. "Junling, what do you think of Yu'er's little group?"

"Hmm, I'd say its a group that has quite a lot of possibilities, he has two individuals with Special Traits and one with a Special Physique. This girl's origins are certainly by no means simple, after doing an investigation including the death of her father was rather strange. However, I believe that with her and that guy with his Ancient Wolf Special Body along with the strangest one of them all the retainer that can grasp the 'Way of Electricity' at its fundamental essence. They will be capable of growing to a scale no inferior to middle-class influences even in the Sacred Domain, maybe they might have a shot of advancing to upper-class leagues." replied Feng Junling after he thought for a moment with a deep expression.

"Heh, I don't know how Feng Yu managed to found such talented individuals that could rarely be found in such a degraded place as the outer continent, " said Feng Junling once again as he looked at Feng Yu puzzledly.

"It's probably his blessing, oh well, no need to overthink it," replied Feng Yunlong as he focused his attention back on the golden square.

"Em," said Feng Junling as he looked on silently.

Feng Xingyu, Elder Duan, and Elder Chen with a few of the core family members were currently discussing something while looking around at the gathered major influences.

*****

As Miren Fei saw this girl in front of her with he indifferent expression on her face, she couldn't help but frown slightly. However, a smile soon followed which charmed the souls of many male candidates as well as practitioners who were watching the battle.

"I am Dawnwing Miren Fei, and may the best of us women win. As a sign of courtesy you may make the first move! " said Miren Fei with a polite but confident voice that spread around the arena.

"You are not my match! It's best if you leave before you embarrass yourself fellow Sister Miren!" replied the blue martial robed girl as she looked at Miren Fie with a sharp light shining her eyes, the power of a peak 8 Tier Body Training Realm expert erupted from her body giving her a more dignifying air.

Miren Fei did not respond but only positioned herself into her battle stance, placed both of her arms together with palms meeting each other. Soon, her essence-energies erupted showing the power of an initial stage 8 Tier Body Training Realm expert.

"Ah! So she's finally broken through, this is good news!" said Feng Yu as he observed Miren Fei's battle stance.

Seeing this scene the Rain Sword Sect Female Outer Disciple was not upset but changed her stance, she leaned forward and lifted her right to grasp the hilt of her sword that was placed on her back.

Clank!

The sword echoed as she firmly gripped its hilt and looked at Miren Fei, she then took a step forward instantly vanishing appearing like a drop of rain the falling towards the ground only in this case the raindrop moved towards a target.

Whoosh!

"Fallin Rain Sword Arts: Dripping Rain Slash!!" she shouted as she drew her sword from its sheath of holding stabbing it towards Miren Fei's abdomen at speed hard to follow with the naked eyes.

Shing!!!!! Drip.

In a moment, the sword that was drawn by the Rain Sword Sect Female was right upon Miren Fei as if connecting with her abdomen the moment the sword had left its sheath, like a drop of rain that fell on the floor in a moments notice unavoidable and untraceable.

"Good quick sword! Its speed is impressive, that attack would be unavoidable for most practitioners in the same realm. But, she is still a quite a distance from grasping the sword realm," said Feng Yu as he observed her sword skill.

A look of disappointment came over the Rain Sword Sect Female Disciple's face as she gestured her hand to remove her sword from Miren Fei's abdomen. However, when lifting her sword, she felt something strange, carefully looking at Miren Fei's stomach she became shocked as there was no wound.

As she was in a daze, Miren Fei who was still in attack stance suddenly smiled as she spoke softly. "Jade Mirror Arts: Jade Form - Unbreakable Jade Body..." as she said this her skin slowly started to change as it became more glossy and hard. She gripped her fist and then made a palm with her right hand looking as if her hand had turned into a sword.

A feeling of danger arose in the Rain Sword Sect Female Outer Disciple's senses as she jumped backward flipping in the air a few times quickly trying to escape Miren Feis attack range, sadly it was too late.

Miren Fei who was now ready revolved her entire essence energy into her palm which started to emit the strange sensation felt by the Rain Sword Sect Female Outer Disciple sword attack.

"Jade Mirror Arts: Mirror Form: Dripping Jade Sword!!" she rushed forwards transforming into a drop of rain that was green in color as she instantly appeared in front of the Rain Sword Sect Female Outer Disciple's body slashing her palm downwards.

"Darn! I can't escape it. I have to counterattack!! " thought the Rain Sword Sect Female Outer Disciple as she waved her sword once more doing another stance from her <Falling Rain Sword Arts> a serene light shone in depths of her eyes.

"Falling Rain Sword Arts: Falling Rain Swords!!!!" she shouted as her swords danced within her hands created an elusive scene of many raindrops soaring towards Miren Fei's body.

Clank!

The sound of metal connecting with a sword resounded throughout the battle arena as the chosen candidates and significant influences looked at the battle before them in shock.

"How can she be this powerful? Resisting the Sword Arts of the Rain Sword Sect with her palms? And even replicating it! " an elder from the Rain Sword Sect exclaimed in surprise.

Lang Kuang looked at this scene with a strange light in his eyes as he gripped his fists excitedly, as Dai Lin, Feng Yu, and Hui Ying nodded.

"It seems Brother Feng truly has remarkable retainers," said Hui Ying with a hint of slight envy visible in his eyes.

"How about it? What to join?" Feng Yu said teasingly.

"Hmph! As if I need to join, this Young Mas---- Ah, I mean... I will get some off my own no inferior!" Hui Ying said rather flusteredly.

"Hmm... Fine, I'll look forward to meeting them someday," replied Feng Yu.

The battle raged on, as Merien Fei alternated between her opponent's Raindrop Sword and Falling Rain Swords utilizing both of her attacks in a fierce but beautiful manner. It was if the jade princess from heaven descended to the mortal plane, her beautiful jadelike hair danced about with every motion of her body while her eyes glistened with a charming flavor creating a spectacular scene on stage.

As Feng Yu watched her fight, he couldn't help but subconsciously fall into an entranced state of mind as her figure overlapped with another beautiful figure in his thoughts, with bright golden long hair, and a smile that could break the soul of emperors as she showed excitement while locked in combat. However, as if he realized something he quickly restrained his state of mind.

"Interesting, I never thought I'd have this day... " thought Feng Yu as he recalled his state of mind from the past, his words said to old master after witnessing a certain event.

The two women fought without holding back as beads of sweat trickled down there skin, soaking the slender figures creating a warm scenery that grasped the hearts of young men in the arena.

"Beautiful..." whisper Xuan Bei as his arrogant and haughty personality faded revealing the true nature of man's appreciation.

The Mysterious Spear Youth, Southern Wasteland Youth, and a few others looked in the scene with slightly interested lights shining in the depths of their eyes, but after a moment, it disappeared leaving only a serious look.

After a bit of time, the two finally pulled away from each other with an in-depth look in their eyes. The Rain Sword Sect Female Outer Disciple looked at Miren Fei with a slight amount of appreciation in her eyes as she spoke.

"I take back my previous words as you are excellent! However, It is time we end this fight!" she said as she sheathed her sword once more in the sheath on her back and leaned forward with one hand holding the ground and the other holding the hilt of the sword.

"You are very great yourself! You're it's about time we end this..." said Miren Fei as she spread her arms wide and a jade mirror-like reflection shone in front of her.

Swoosh!!

A breeze blew kicking up their clothing which started to making flapping noises as their hair gently swayed with the rise of the wind. They looked at each other silently while their essence-energies grew greater with each passing breath.

The battle arena grew silent as all individuals observed not wanting to miss any details.

Shinnggg!!!

In an instant, the sword of the Rain Sword Sect Female Outer Disciple was unleashed once more but only this time it scattered into multiple shades of raindrops gathered together creating a miniature rainstorm that shot towards Miren Fie in the blink of an eye.

"Falling Rain Sword: Final Style - Tempest Sword!!!" the Rain Sword Sect Female Outer Disciple roared as she used all her energy in her final attack.

A feeling of death quickly rose up within Miren Fei, but she only looked on calmly as she tapped the jade-like mirror that stood in front of her.

"Jade Mirror Arts: True Mirror Form: Jade Sword Tempest!... " she said in a softly as her mirror start to shine with a bright light, engulfing the entirety of the golden square. Very quickly a similar Jade colored 'Tempest Sword' appeared as it launched itself towards the Rain Sword Sect Female Outer Disciple 'Tempest Sword.'

BOOM!!!!!

As they collided they created a massive explosion generating a shockwave to spread for a few hundreds of meters, however, it was only a moment before the lights faded away relieved the scene underneath its cover.

Miren Fei stood silently with a broken mirror in her front as her hands were clasped in front of her holding the sword of the Rain Sword Sect Female Outer Disciple that was right in front of her face.

The Rain Sword Sect Female Outer Disciple was also standing with her both her hands on the hilt of her sword, which was held by Miren Fei. She looked at Miren Fei and spoke softly.

"How did you know?..." said in a weak voice.

"That much energy is impossible to condense without first advancing into the stage of Aura Disciple. I figured that you used your massive amount essence-energies to create that scene which hid the real sword attack underneath its surface. Normally, this would have worked on many average practitioners, but you just so happened to be paired up against me. My Jade Mirror does not only reflects the styles it copies but also replicates the targets true source..." said Miren Fei with a slightly exhausted voice.

The Rain Sword Sect Female Outer Disciple hearing shook her head as he responded:" You... win..." with that she fell to the floor with her sword held firmly in her hand.

Thud!

The crowd went silent, but soon it became a lively scene once again.

"Incredible, a vagabond defeating a middle-class empire sect genius this Charming Jade is something else..." said the individual beside the scholarly man.

"No, shes no long a vagabond anymore... she is a member... of Dawnwing!" replied a female who had a look of adoration in her eyes...

The ordinary cultivators who observed from the platforms were excited as they chattered away nonstop, while the major influences including the Rain Sword Sect increased their appraisals of the worlds hidden talents.

"There is a mountain higher than a mountain, and in a vast world where countless beings exist, new geniuses will rise becoming talents among talents..." said an Elder of the Rain Sword Sect with a slight pity as she gazed her defeated sect disciple,

The Feng Clan observed in glee as Feng Yunlong, Feng Junling and Feng Xingyu smiled and conversed while looking at the scene.

Flash.

A flash of light shone on promptly returning Miren Fei to the side of Feng Yu, Dai Lin, and the others as the defeated female was sent to the platform of the vanquished.

Feng Yu looked at Miren Fei with a look of approval as he spoke "Well done!" as she heard this Miren Fei became filled with pride as he looked at Lang Kuang and stuck out her tongue.

"You got to do good if you want to keep up big brute!" she said.

Lang Kuang snorted as he spoke "Hmph! You took so much time to defeat your first opponent yet you dare talk back me. I'll show you how the wild wolf hunts its prey!" said Lang Kuang as he winked.

Flash!

A light shone once more which unexpected covered Lang Kuang's form, as well as another figure from the candidates.

Seeing this Feng Yu and the other laughed as they mocked "It seems that dragon has sensed your fighting spirit, don't go losing now!"

In an instant Lang Kuang vanished, leaving behind the expectant group and chattering audience.

Dual Sword God - Chapter 51: The Chosen Battle Arena, The Battle Starts

As the chosen's vanished into thin air caused by a powerful kind of aura, the Ascending Dragon Platform began to change.

Rumble!

With the sound of a loud noise, the area within the Central Square of Machen Town had started to vibrate violently. Soon, the towering stairway that rose to the heavens had begun to glow with a strange black and white light, as the lifelike sculpted dragon that coiled around the stairway had unexpectedly started to unwind itself.

Puuiii!!!

The black and white light covered the entire Machen Town blanketing its skies for hundreds of kilometers as the now uncoiled dragon that was as tall as the heavens itself rushed towards the depths of the sky wrapping its body around a vast region of the sky.

The black and white lights shortly after receded merging into the lifelike dragon that hovered above the sky. It gave off a brilliant and dignifying aura as if everything in the world was worth nothing in its eyes as it spoke to the world.

"The Chosen Battle Arena has now been opened!!!" said the voice as its words resounded throughout the world for hundreds of kilometers apart.

Buzz!!!

With the sounding of its voice, a massive arena soon began to form out of nothingness as the Ascending Dragon Platform vanished from the sight of the people.

Soon, the arena was complete as it floated in the void above Machen Town. It was a broad stone platform that extended to above the size of the entire town, with large black and white tiles paving its surface like a checkerboard. At its edges were multiple elevated platforms on which all of the figures of the Major Influences now stood to observe the competitions.

The people seeing this scene were stunned to behold such a fantastic view but before they could get themselves to adapt to the strange sight another change occurred.

Puiiii!!!

As the Chosen Battle Arena completed its construction the eyes of the dragon that blanketed the sky started to glow following which it rapidly descended towards the floating battle arena, wrapping itself around its edges creating a black and white scale boundary. It then moved its head to the center of the battle arena as looked down on the empty platforms.

In an instant, a few flashes of light appeared on the battle platform where after all of the chosen candidates suddenly appeared each with a black and white circular token hovering by their sides, the floating symbol of the chosen candidates had a unique number on its surface.

As the chosen candidates arrived on the battle arena they looked around the platform in surprise.

"Where is this?" said a candidate as he looked around but couldn't find anything familiar, a few other candidates were also disturbed as they started to voice their worries.

Soon, however, a familiar voice sounded throughout the environment.

"You are all currently above the Chosen Battle Arena, which is now floating directly above Machen Town!" the voice said.

Hearing this voice the candidates quieted down as they look towards the source, quickly they found it. It was an elevated platform that was a few hundred meters tall at the far right edge of the battle arena. A few individuals could be seen standing on top of this platform they were the strange men in white, elders of the Sky Splitting Sword Sect along with the Bright Flame Guards. The woman in white was now standing at the forefront of these individuals looking down towards the geniuses on the Chosen Battle Arena as she spoke.

"This is the final phase of the Trial, and I'm sure that you've already been brief by the Guardian Construct of the Ascending Dragon Platform. Now, the battles will commence!" she said in a soft voice.

A few geniuses hearing this were shocked, one of them spoke in a flurried manner.

"Guardian... Guardian Construct? Such a terrifying creature is only a Construct..." he said while feeling fear as he looked at the dragon that wrapped around their battle arena with its head looking down at them.

Hui Ying looked up at the head of the dragon and muttered: "Oh... it seems that this Ancient Dragon Clan, was quite advance to be able to manufacture this kind of like like construct."

Feng Yu hearing this was stunned as he looked at the dragon once again and spoke to Hui Ying "How this be a construct? I thought it was a beast using some sort of self-preservation technique which caused its body to be able to alternate between being a life existence and structure."

As Feng Yu said this, he couldn't help but recall some strange constructs in his former world, similar to the lifelike dragon in front of him.

"Em. Its a construct, but a construct that had been created by the materials of a real-life dragon with those traits," said Hui Ying.

"How do you know this?" asked Feng Yu curiously as he looked at Hui Ying.

"Let's just say I've gathered a bit of knowledge from my past journeys," said Hui Ying with a strange smile on his face.

"Fine! I'll take your word for it," replied Feng Yu with an unconvinced expression on his face.

Dai Lin looked at Hui Ying while tapping his forehead with his finger slightly as if committing something to memory.

Feng Yu then looked around at the edges of the Chosen Battle Arena and saw that other than the platform where the woman in white stood, there were multiple other platforms in the area on each of those platforms were all of the other major influences and spectators who had come to observe the battle for chosen.

As the chosen candidates had now calmed down, they looked around at the platforms at their respected clans and influences. After a short while, the dragon head that seemed as if it was watching them started to change, the eyes of the dragon began to glow once more with the black and white lights.

Puuii!!!

As the lights appeared a chart soon came into the view of everyone, it was a roster which had the numbers of each of the candidates arranged on its surface at different positions bellow different lines that connected to each other at varying sections. The chart had three major parts, at the bottom was an arrangement of pairing for 50 tokens which then advanced to the middle-section which had a pairing for ten tokens, which finally lead to the top-section with matched five remaining tokens together at one point.

"It finally started..." said the Mysterious Spear Youth as he gripped his spear firmly with his hands, Xia Rou and the Brawny Youth standing beside her looked on with a vaguely interested expression as if they didn't expect much from the fights to come.

"I will win this for my people..." said the Southern Wasteland Youth as a sharp light shone in the depths of his eyes.

"......" Xiang Shu looked at the scene with a strange light in his eyes as he licked his lips and an odd smile formed at the corners of his mouth.

"This should be quite interesting..." Feng Yu said as he looked at Dai Lin then at Lang Kuang and Miren Fei with a smile on his face.

Ji Weng, Xuan Bei, Tang Wu, Xin Qing along with the other factions geniuses looked at the chart each with their resolutions to become the True Chosen amongst Chosen.

In an instant, the black and white light receded once more into the eyes of the dragon as the chart remained in the field of vision for all to see. The ancient voice of the dragon sounded throughout the world once again.

"The War for the title of Pseudo-Chosen will now commence!!!" it said.

Rumble!!!

Suddenly, the Chosen Battle Arena started to shake as each of candidates were then positioned on white and black squares looking like chess pieces on a humongous chess board. They were arranged at the edges of the arena which surrounded a large golden square at the central area. Surrounding this golden square were five bright silver squares arranged in a circular formation that was a few hundred meters away from the golden square, looking even further away one would then see ten bronze colored squares that surrounded both the silver squares and the large golden square.

"Interesting..." said the bamboo hat youth as he looked at the unusual arrangement, the other candidates within the area also observed the new setup.

"Candidate Number 50 will now face Candidate Number 25! Commence Battle!!" said the Ancient Dragon Construct.

Flash! Flash!

Suddenly, two of the geniuses at the on the black and white squares at the edges of the battle arena vanished with a flash of light appearing on the central large golden square.

While they were surprised, they did not drop the guards, as one of the candidates immediately launched an attack towards the opposing candidate.

Whoosh!

As if he was expecting the opposing candidate's attack, the rival candidate swiftly moved to the side as he dodged his opponent's onslaught. However, a mocking sneer came from the attacking candidate as he roared following up his previous attack with another fluid attack.

"Oh shit!" said the young genius as he tried to prevent the attack.

"Ha! Is too late!" shouted the opposing candidate who's first assault changed to that of a kicking assault.

"Die! Tornado Kick!!!" he roared as his body spun like a top kicking up winds in the large square as he feet connected with the poor candidate's face hurling him high into the air as he fell harshly onto the group, coughing up a mouth of blood before falling unconscious.

Bang! Puff!

Seeing the scene before there eyes of the geniuses felt shocked, but the majority only looked on with disdain.

"Hmph! Weaklings trying to show off..." said Xia Rou as she snorted while looking at the winner in disdain.

Flash!

Soon, another flash of light shone upon the golden square which sent both geniuses back to their previous locations. The injured individual was recovered by a mysterious power and sent directly outside of the battle arena to an empty platform that floated with the others.

"It looks like those who fail to become Pseudo Chosen's will be disqualified from further competing," muttered Feng Yu as he saw the look of distress that came upon the individuals face as he was sent to the lonely platform.

A few others also took note of this which only caused their determinations to grow stronger. As if not paying attention to the state of mind of the candidates the ancient dragon spoke once more.

"Next Battle Candidate Number 31 will now face Candidate Number 12! Commence Battle!!"

Quickly, another pair appeared on the central square but one of them was quite familiar, it was Prince Xuan Bei. The observing influences couldn't help but start to clamor.

"Ah! So it turns out that the Prince of the Bright Flame Kingdom was the first among our kingdom's genius to battle." said an influential individual.

"Who is that guy he's facing against?" asked another individual.

"I'm not sure. However, the clothing that he is wearing is similar to that worn by the disciples of the Molten Axe Sect." replied the man.

"A kingdom top-class talent dares to ignore an empire middle-class sect disciple, truly asking for trouble." a hidden influence character said.

The eyes of the gorgeous woman dressed in red belonging to the Molten Axe Sect shone brightly, as she saw one of her sects disciple appearing.

Xuan Bei looked at the individual in front of him with a frown on his face, as he spoke with arrogance. "You! Get Down!" his voice echoed throughout the battle arena as the people hearing him where shocked.

"How arrogant? This Xuan Bei thinks he's the king of the arena!" said a genius on the battle arena.

The Molten Axe Sect Disciple hearing Xuan Bei's words instantly erupted with anger.

"A foolish Prince of an affiliate kingdom! You do not know the immensity of heaven and the earth!!! Pay for your arrogance with your life: Moulten Rock Fist!!!!" as if he was a volcano his entire right hand had taken on a shade of red as steam began to rise off his arm filling the arena with a blazing air.

Sou!

He dashed towards Xuan Bei as he launched his fist outwards, creating a heatwave attack towards Xuan Bei. As he saw this, Xuan Bei looked on with arrogance as he positioned himself in a strange serpent-like posture, soon his body began to give rise to a similar type of heat. He dashed forward while swaying from side to side like a serpent as each of his steps would leave a bright red mark the ground.

Sou! Sou! Bang!!!!

With the swaying of his body, he effortlessly dodged the first heatwave attack which fell upon the floor behind him creating a blazing shockwave. However, Xuan Bei continued forwards unaffected quickly shortening the distance between him and the Molten Axe Sect disciple.

As he saw how his opponent easily avoided his attack, the Molten Axe Sect disciple was surprised but also enraged as he gathered more heat energy into both of his arms and unleashed a storm of fists.

"I'm not finished yet! Moulten Boulder Fist Assualt!!!" he roared as multiple heat wave fist shades where launched towards Xuan Bei's approaching figure.

As if it was nothing worth being concern about Xuan Bei's form continued to blur in and out of the Heat Wave Fist Shades as he continued to dash forwards using the strange serpent-like motions.

"Hmph! My <Bright Fire Serpent Steps> has reached large success stage, I could dance around on this platform and you would not be able to harm my hair. However, my time with you has ended prepare yourself to leave the Chosen Wars." as he said this a mocking smile came on his face as he swayed his body once more vanishing into thin air.

Swish!

"Damn! Where did he go?" The Molten Axe Sect disciple as he looked around the strange, soon, however, he felt a wave of heat coming from his back.

"Not toda---" the Molten Axe Sect disciple tried to react, but sadly, it was too late.

"Bright Fire Serpent Arts - Flaming Finger!" said Xuan Bei who now stood behind the Molten Axe Sect disciple as he stretched his hand out at the back of his head and flicked his finger that glowed with a bright red light.

Bang!!!

The finger connecting with the head of the Molten Axe Sect disciple created a mini shockwave of bright flames as the guy flew out of the square and collided with the corner walls of dragon scales. If one looked carefully, they would see that all the hair that was on the head of the guy was burnt off revealing a shiny but scorched head.

Flash!

The light appeared once more and sent both forms away from the platform. Naturally, the defeated was sent to outer platform.

"To play with fire in front of the Bright Flame Prince! Truly Naive!" said Fei Tan who stood beside the Bright Flame King and Mistress Xuan.

The Major influences looked on with a slightly curious look in their eyes as they pondered the limits of his Xuan Bei's strength.

"Hmm.. not bad," said Ji Weng as he looked at his rival, the other chosen looked on with different expression some with shock and some indifferently.

Tang Wu and Xin Qing looked on as a slightly serious expression came on there faces.

"Brother Wu it seems that Xuan Bei has improved to a pretty decent stage this past year," said Xin Qing as she recalled the battle scene.

Tang Wu smiled and replied confidently "He truly has improved quite a bit, but it won't be enough to beat either us if this all his strength is.."

Xin Qing reached for a dagger in her sleeves and spun it at the tips of her fingers while nodding with a smile on her face.

Feng Yu smiled scene but did not overly paid attention.

Quickly, the voice of the Ancient Dragon Construct appeared once again.

"Next Battle Candidate Number 11 will now face Candidate Number 46! Commence Battle!!"

Seeing the forms on which the light had now shone upon Feng Yu and Dai Lin smiled as a light shone in Feng Yu's eyes.

"Dai Lin, this is where 'Dawn' will spread its 'Wings.'"

Dual Sword God - Chapter 50: The Chosen Wars

Within Machen Town, Inside of the Central Square.

The members of the Feng Clan calmly observed the screen before them as they looked at the figure who remained seated in crossed legged posture waiting for the battle of chosen's to begin. However, Feng Yunlong, Feng Junling, and Feng Xingyu were currently discussing matters amongst themselves.

"Are you certain Eldest Brother?" asked Feng Xingyu who looked at Feng Junling with a serious expression.

Feng Yunlong also looked at Feng Junling with a severe gaze as the mood between the three of them became a solemn one.

"That's right! While I'm not certain for sure regarding the methods used by this female 'Prophet.' I have a hunch regarding the energies used when summoning the Ascending Dragon Platform." replied Feng Junling.

He looked towards the beautiful white-robed woman that stood between the strange men in white on the platform, as he recalled the scene of her snapping her fingers causing the Ascending Dragon Platform to rise from its slumber.

"Hmm, Junling, if what you speculate is true. Wouldn't this mean that she is related to them?" Feng Yunlong said as he looked at Feng Junling.

"It's best not to draw our conclusions too early. Maybe, it's nothing more than a coincidence..." replied Feng Junling with a pondering expression but soon he cleared his thoughts and spoke once again but this time through voice transmission.

"Also, I am feeling a rather strange presence within the Central Square, I don't know what or who it is? However, we should exercise a bit of caution..." said Feng Junling.

Hearing his elder brother's words Feng Yunlong was surprised as he spread his senses about the square but found nothing unusual, However, he did not show any confused expression on his face as he replied."I do not sense anything out of the ordinary, but I will have them keep on alert!" as he looked towards his attendant with the crimson mask who stood silently by his side and nodded.

Sou!

The crimson-masked man vanished as went towards a the Feng Mansion at full speed, the woman in the white robes seated on the platform observing the screen smiled as she looked on the platform with a slight amount of reminiscence visible in her eyes.

However, the melancholic atmosphere soon faded as she looked towards her attendant and spoke "The Chosen Wars will soon begin, are the preparations complete." she asked in a soft voice.

"Reporting to Young Mistress! All preparations have been completed." replied one of the men dressed in white.

"Good!" she said as he focused her gaze back on the screen with a slightly excited light shining deep within her eyes.

The Sky Splitting Sword School Elders seeing this sighed slightly as they looked on in reverence, Xuan Lie frowned as he saw this scene, he looked around the Central Square at the various influences and saw that a few of them had individuals that were missing. Feeling something was off he whispered something to Fei Tan who then left the platform.

"Dear, is there a problem?" asked Mistress Xuan who was standing beside Xuan Lie.

"Em. It appears that this 'Chosen War' may be the prelude to what we seek." replied Xuan Lie as a determined look appeared on his face.

The man from the Midnight Temple smiled with a strange light in his eyes as he cast his vision towards the Southern Wasteland Group, the Golden Dragon Empire's Group and the Group at the side of the female Prophet.

As the major influences started to make their moves, the spectating practitioners observed the screen in glee.

"Did you see that? How those guys treated the pressure as if it was nothing but air? These youngsters certainly are the top amongst their generation." said an individual.

"Not necessarily, this was a trial that tests willpower, not strength. It won't be guaranteed that they could perform the same in actual combat." said another individual.

"Hmm, so that's the reason. No wonder that youngster from the Feng Clan could keep up with those top characters. It seems that while he's a troublemaker, his strength of will is quite good." replied another.

Xiang Tian who was looking at the screen at his son Xiang Shu frowned when he overheard the groups conversation. "Could he truly be just a simple troublemaker? Or has ascended to a new level of strength hiding his true power as Xiang Shu did?" he thought to himself.

The Townlord and his Wife were also discussing amongst themselves regarding the unusualness of the Feng Clan and Xiang Clan's son.

"Dear, don't you think it strange of the performances shown by both kids from these two clans. When did the Xiang Clan have another Xiang Fang? And Why is the Feng Clan child said to be troublemaker displaying such incredible ability." asked the Town Lords wife.

"..." The Townlord looked at the two figures on the screen and frowned slightly not bothering to reply to his wife's questions.

******

As the talents stood within the space they were sent by the ancient voice, they quickly recovered from their injuries and observed the environment.

Feng Yu feeling the energies from the environment couldn't help be feel surprised as said "The energies gathered are about three times that of Tydol Mountain Range. While it is not at a level comparable to these sects or sacred grounds, it is still an ideal place for cultivation."

As he said this, he couldn't help but sit himself down and sensed the fire elements gathered with the energies.

Within a moment a stream of red essence-energies from the surroundings flowed towards Feng Yu's form as if he was a bottomless pit, the red energies poured into his body strengthening his Inner Veins and Internal Organs causing it to become purer a few tens of times quicker than in the outside world. Feng Yu feeling this change was stunned as he stopped for a moment before pondering. "Such a terrifying cultivation speed! Is this the true extent of my 'Aura Pulse'? It seems that due to cultivating in an environment with a severe lack of elemental essence-energies, I was not able to fully utilize its potential."

Feng Yu couldn't help but feel slightly excited as he found that his body was more incredible than he had previously thought. A few of the talents who were in the vicinity of Feng Yu looked around in shock as they had no idea what just occurred, but the Mysterious Spear Youth along with Hui Ying, the Southern Wasteland Youth, and a few others looked towards Feng Yu with a solemn expression.

"His latent talent should be at the very least comparable to my own. I wonder, what kind of aura pulse does he have?" thought the Mysterious Spear Youth.

"Interesting... a little meaning..." spoke the Southern Wasteland Youth with increased interest.

A youth with a bamboo hat who stood in a corner further away from the group glanced at Feng Yu for a short while before removing his vision. Soon he fixed his gaze towards Hui Ying's form for a moment before closing his eyes.

Hui Ying frowned as he sensed someone watching him, he looked around to see the bamboo hat youth in the corner with his hat held down furrowed his brows.

Ji Weng and Xuan Bei and the prominent geniuses of the kingdoms looked towards Feng Yu with surprise as they pondered to themselves.

"I do not believe that this Feng Clan's offspring could have inspired such a scene! How could he do what I could not even with my Upper-Tier Aura Pulse?" replied Xuan Bei as he looked at Feng Yu with hatred and jealousy.

"No master will be inferior to his servant if no comparable they will only be on a different scale," said Tang Wu as he observed Dai Lin, Miren Fie, and Lang Kuang then finally resting his gaze at the cross-legged Feng Yu's body.

Xin Qing gripped her fists tightly as she looked at Feng Yu "I will unearth your true strength!" she said with a steady light shining in her eyes.

"I cannot fall behind the Young Master!" said Dai Lin as he calmly sat down and started to revolve his <Heavenly Electrical Circuit Scripture> striving to push his cultivation base a step further, in the strengthening and refining of his Inner Veins and Internal Organs.

As they saw this Lang Kuang and Miren Fei also didn't bother to waste any more time and strove to improve themselves with every opportunity they could get within this space.

Time soon quickly passed as night came and fell giving rise to dawn once more.

Swoosh!!!!

A chilly wind blew on the summit of the stairways platform, as the talents now stood at a central area as their clothing making flapping noises with the gust of the wind.

Buzz!!!

Soon, a noise was heard once more as the ancient voice returned.

"The Chosen Wars will now begin! You will each be given a numbered token and sent to an arena where you will commence to battle. The winner of each battle will have the right to claim the losing parties token, as the more tokens you have, the higher your chances of earning the title of chosen. Only those who have earned at least 5 or more tokens will have the right to be deemed as chosen." as the voice said it went silent for a while.

The talents hearing this couldn't help but get nervous as they thought of chaotic battle that will soon commence. Soon, the voice continued to speak once more.

"There are three types of chosen's, Pseudo-Chosen, True Chosen and a Chosen One. Those who earn 5 or more tokens will be given the title of Pseudo-Chosen those who earn 10 or more tokens will be given the title of True Chosen, and the one who can defeat all True Chosen's will be able to earn the title of Chosen One." said the voice.

"These titles come with various rewards, Pseudo-Chosen's will earn the right to enter the outer sections of the Ancient Dragon Battlefield, while True Chosen's will earn the right to enter the inner section of the Ancient Dragon Battlefield. Lastly, the Chosen One will earn the privilege to enter the Ancient Dragon Palace located in the central section. Are you ready?" asked the voice.

The talents hearing the rewards couldn't help but grow excited even the influences below couldn't help but feel their mouths turn dry.

The Golden Dragon Clan, Southern Wasteland, Midnight Temple, Bright Fame Kindom, Western Shengyin Kingdom, Tang Family, Xin Family, Feng Clan and other influences felt their blood boil as the tension within the environment increased to a different level.

Feng Yunlong smiled as he looked at Feng Yu who currently had a confident expression on his face as he stood beside Hui Ying, Dai Lin, Lang Kuang and Miren Fei. Looking as if they were brave heroes ready to challenge the ultimate being in a final battle.

The voice feeling the will of the talent in the crowd did not bother to give another long-winded speech it spoke and began the wars.

"With my command, I now proclaim the beginning of 10000th Chosen Wars!!!!" said the voice as his voice echoed throughout the space followed by a massive aura that poured forth from the two dragons.

Puuuiiii!!!!!!!!!

A blinding light erupted forth covering all things including the sky above Machen Town, as all of the geniuses that were on the Ascending Dragon Platform vanished into thin air.

Leaving behind only an empty platform and the chilly wind that came with rising of dawn...

Limitless - Chapter 49: Tricked

Indeed, one of the youths standing next to him, wearing a green tunic, said flatly, "Luo Yuan, enough. If they want to die, why bother stopping them?"

Luo Yuan, the youth wearing the white tunic, shook his head, "They have no right to go in!"

A pretty lady with ivory white teeth said harshly, "If they don’t know their place and want to enter, let them go in!"

Luo Yuan glanced at those people and sighed, not saying anything more.

Many of the people next to Luo Yuan smiled hypocritically, not speaking.

Fan Jian murmured, "Why do you need to be so fierce, exploring the ruins is dangerous enough, isn’t it good enough if everyone just depends on their luck and abilities?

No one bothered with him, even Chu Yu felt that this man was too idealistic.

Even though Chu Yu felt the same way, the world did not agree!

Luo Yuan, together with those people beside him all rose and jumped to the entrance of the Celestial Fox Immortal Cave. Regardless of their status, they had to crawl inside carefully, there was no other choice, the entrance was just that small, making it impossible to swagger in.

If they tried to blow it open with a punch, they could possibly destroy the place, or even trigger an unknown chain reaction, thus, no one tried to do it.

All the people, about 20 plus of them, went in one by one.

The others, who had been rejected by Luo Yuan, stood outside, their expressions solemn, not daring to move.

Only then did Fan Jian giggle, "Please do not bother about that little white face, virtually their entire gang is from the ancient sects and clans, and they are capable of killing without blinking. That little white face simply did not want you all to die for nothing, that’s why he mocked you all just now.

"Really" Some of them were still doubtful.

"We have no feuds with them, why would they want to kill us?" another guy added.

Fan Jian chuckled, "There are many cases in the world where people have killed for no reason, you are all mature men, can’t you grasp this concept?"

The entire group went silent.

They could understand the concept, but it was still extremely unfair!

"That is still too much isn’t it? We haven’t even found anything..." another mumbled.

Fan Jian laughed, "Do you know why the others tried to stop the little white face?"

The crowd was stunned for a moment.

"..."

Fan Jian bared his teeth, "It is because they had hoped that you’ll gain something from inside, then all they’ll have to do is wait outside and take it from you!"

What f*ckers!

The crowd fell silent, and they felt an intense rage in that instant.

"This world, is now Cultivation World!"

Fan Jian revealed traces of sternness as he addressed the crowd, "Do you know what is a Cultivation World? The weak are prey and the powerful are respected! The one with the strongest fist wins! Do you understand?"

Do you understand?

Of course they understand!

But they were still unwilling to accept the fact!

Fan Jian continued, "My advice to you is that you should go back. Those people will not care what underworld clan you’re from. The underworld clans, to these people, are just glorified commoners, slightly stronger than the average individual. At the end of the day, you are just ants in their eyes."

Upon hearing this, the crowd grew uncomfortable, but had to admit he made sense.

The underworld clans were simply the weak clans from 60 million years ago!

The real powerful individuals had all left then, and only the old and weak were left behind to fend for themselves in the post apocalyptic world.

Even though those left behind by the ancient clans, sects and gangs were the old and the weak, they were still much stronger than the others!

They had the complete teachings of their clan and various powerful magical equipments.

Even though the earth had dried up and the number of powerful cultivators had dwindled, when the earth finally recovered to its former glory, the speed at which they rose up was unimaginable!

This kind of difference, was almost as large as that between heaven and earth.

As such, in the eyes of the ancient sects, clans and gangs, the underworld clans were... ants that were never meant to be exposed to the world.

When dealing with ants, one could either ignore them or squash them, depending on one’s mood.

"Thank you for the reminder." The Leng Clan Acupoint Charging Stage Six martial artist cupped his fist in respect, his tone agonized.

The others all cupped their fists and bowed to show their thanks.

"We’ll be on our way... there’s nothing here that we can participate in." The two Acupoint Charging Stage Six martial artists from the Leng Clan hung their heads and sighed, taking their leave. The Wu Clan of Qing Hai were helpers that they found, but Wu Dong had not even so much as glanced at them when he entered.

All their interactions and connections were tossed aside in the face of great benefits.

However, there were still a few people who did not leave, their eyes sparkling with determination.

Fan Jian was slightly taken aback, "You’re not leaving?"

One of them replied, "I still want to try my luck."

Fan Jian shook his head and said, "Those people will be waiting to kill you by the exit, you should pray for good fortune and luck."

As he spoke, Fan Jian looked at Chu Yu, "Brother Song, let us go in."

"Aren’t you all scared of being killed?" Someone couldn’t resist but ask.

Fan Jian smiled, "Of course not, we have protective magical equipment."

As he spoke Fan Jian flipped and jumped to the entrance of the Celestial Fox Immortal Cave and crawled in.

Chu Yu followed closely behind.

Fan Jian used the Voice Transmission Technique to communicate with Chu Yu, "Later I will go in first, I am sure that they will have people at the entrance waiting to prey on people. I have a protective magical equipment on me, so I am not scared of them. After I enter, count five minutes before you enter, I will draw them away."

"Why are you helping me?" Chu Yu’s was a little suspicious.

He had just met with this thick skinned fella, and they did not have any interaction prior to this, what logical reason was there that he was this nice to Chu Yu?

"Ha, you should have just returned from Shu right?" Fan Jian finally revealed the truth.

He had heard that something happened in Shu, he knew that someone named "Song Hong" had helped LIn Shimeng and had gained much in that trip to Shu.

"I have a feud with Qi Heng, anyone who brings harm to him, is a friend of mine!" Fan Jian said.

"That little doll faced b*stard?" Chu Yu asked.

"Doll faced b*stard? Hahahaha, what an apt description! That f*cker is really evil. All he does is walk around doing evil deeds with that doll face of his, and he is extremely petty! F*ck him..."

When Fan Jian talked about Qi Heng, he had an unquenchable rage in his stomach, and kept ranting.

Chu Yu felt that he had probably been taken advantage of by Qi Heng.

"I heard that he is now sterile, what great news, the world should celebrate..."

Chu Yu, "..."

"However, brother Song, please be careful, don’t be fooled into thinking that those aloof b*stards didn’t notice you. In actual fact, they probably already know who you are. A lot of news flows slowly in the commoner world, but in this circle, it flies around extremely fast." Fan Jian reminded kindly.

"Okay, thank you!" Chu Yu replied.

"You’re welcome, I don’t like those jerks and b*stards either." As FanJian spoke, he had already made his way to the enchantment. noveltranslationweb.blogspot.com

He looked back at Chu Yu, "Remember, I will lure them away first, only enter after five minutes!"

Chu Yu nodded, in the moment that Fan Jian entered the enchantment, Chu Yu opened his vertical eye to glance at him.

Fan Jian leaped forward and disappeared in an instant.

At this point, Lord Thief, who was not aware of what had just transpired, said, "I think that he isn’t very trustworthy."

"Rubbish!" Chu Yu glanced at Lord Thief.

At this moment, a sound came from his back, it was the few disgruntled martial artists who were crawling in.

Seeing Chu Yu in front, someone from the back asked, "Why aren’t you going in?"

Chu Yu turned back and glanced at him, baring his teeth, "Why don’t you go first?"

That man hesitated for a moment before saying, "I think I’ll wait..."

No one was dumb, having heeded Luo Yuan’s advice, no one was willing to take point.

At most, they would just wait an hour before going. What if they went in now and were attacked?

...…

Once Fan Jian entered, he saw a group of people crowding around him, yet they did not attack him.

Fan Jian had a flash of contentment across his eyes, and a loaded smile broke across his face before he disappeared to the back.

He then counted, "One, two, three, four… five! Aiyo f*k, why hasn’t he appeared?"

"Fan Jian, can you do it? Didn’t you say you don’t miss?" The youth in the green tunic stared Fan Jian down.

Fan Jian had a look of doubt on his face as he murmured, "This is not right, I felt that I had already gained his trust, why hasn’t he come through?"

The youth in the green tunic laughed icily, "How can anyone who can harm Qi Heng trust another person so easily?"

"F*ck him... this is the guy who had harmed Qi Heng, I got him to confess to it just now. I don’t know where he is from either, how can someone be such a phantom?" Fan Jian was slightly frustrated.

"Forget it, let’s go in first, they are already inside. Let’s not let others take the first cut." One of them said

"Ok…" Fan Jian nodded weakly.

However, after they walked a few steps, they all stopped, and at the same time, launched a ferocious attack towards the entrance!

In that moment, there was an explosion of bright light.

A terrifying wave of energy exploded in an instant.

It was the blinding light of four to five magical equipments being activated at the same time.

Yet, before the attacks could connect, a silhouette had managed to dodge to one side like a phantom.

Bang bang bang!

A chain of explosions failed to connect.

The sounds were deafening.

Lord Thief shrieked, "You b*stards!"

Chu Yu’s eyes flared in anger, instead of retreating, he lunged at one of the attackers.

He raised his fist.

A strong wave of power fluctuations exploded in an instant.

That individual did not expect that Chu Yu would be able to dodge their attacks, and that he would be so courageous to launch a counter attack.

He had no time to reactivate the magical equipment in his hand, managing an enraged shout, "Go to hell!"

He raised his fist and tried to meet that of Chu Yu’s

Kacha!

The clean crack of bones echoed throughout the space.

This man’s fist was shattered by Chu Yu’s.

"Ow!"

He let out a pitiful shriek in that instant.

Chu Yu’s arm was like steel, unimaginably tough.

After shattering this man’s fist, Chu Yu’s fist did not slow and went straight towards the man’s throat.

Pa!

This man’s throat, together with his neck, was shattered by this great wave of force.

He died a miserable death on the spot.

Limitless - Chapter 48: The Celestial Fox Immortal Cave

Lord Thief took a seat for himself, adjacent to Chu Yu, closed his eyes and took a nap, acting like he did not know Chu Yu.

Even though it was rather despicable, it still knew his place.

Wu Dong sat in the back row his gaze scanning over Chu Yu every now and then.

A Song… is representing the Chu Clan in exploring the Celestial Fox Immortal Cave?

Wu Dong was extremely suspicious and it was reflected in his expression.

The night before, he had heard a piece of news from the Liu Clan of Shu.

They told him that the Liu Clan had explored an ancient ruin with Han Xiao and Jiu Xiao.

Wu Dong did not know the exact details, but he heard that one person with surname Song had helped Lin Shimeng inside, and seemed to have gained much from the expedition!

He wondered, could this be the same man in front of him?

Even though Wu Dong was rather arrogant, he was rather careful and meticulous when he did his things.

This was why when he heard Tai Qing the last time, he was willing to lose face and he chose to walk away.

Surname Song, having helped Lin Shimeng. The relationship between Lin Shimeng and the Chu Clan’s wasted Chu Yu was dubious, and there was a spark of love between the two.

Xie Tianyu was also dead... and his murderer killed two Acupoint Charging Stage Eight people at the same time.

If we put all the clues together, it would seem that the person in front of him could be that very guy!

When he thought about that, Wu Dong raised his alert level.

Chu Tianxiong had scared him away using Tai Qing a few days ago, and he still held a grudge against the Chu Clan.

Today, the Chu Clan had hired another man of dubious origin, Wu Dong’s heart’s alertness was raised greatly.

What made him different from the rest here was that he knew the teachings inside the Celestial Fox Immortal Cave clearly.

In the ancient days, the Wu Clan of Qing Hai had interactions with the owners of the Celestial Fox Immortal Cave.

As such, he was adamant about getting to the teachings inside the Celestial Fox Immortal Cave this time.

As he thought about the few magical equipment he had with him, Wu Dong’s confidence increased from the bottom of his heart.

Even though I, Wu Dong, am not the strongest here, who here has more powerful magical equipment than me? ANd that Mr Song... since you’re representing the Chu Clan, don’t blame me for not showing mercy when I slice you open when the time comes!

In that moment, Wu Dong’s eyes flashed with a murderous sparkle.

Chu Yu felt it, but he didn’t look back, acting as if he did not know.

Lord Thief used the Voice Transmission Technique to say, "There’s someone at the back with murderous intent."

Even though its cultivation level was not extremely high, animals tended to be more sensitive towards various auras, especially dangerous ones.

Chu Yu did not answer, he only laughed icily within, I haven’t even started to look for you, yet you have already presented yourself on a silver platter.

The reason why he had taken on the body of Song Hong was to portray an image of a powerful individual. He wanted everyone to be confused about Song Hong’s origins, his status and his power.

With someone so powerful with the Chu Clan and Lin Shimeng, he believed that many would fear them.

However, right now it was far from enough.

As such, Chu Yu needed to morph into Song Hong to accomplish more things!

He wasn’t afraid of getting into a little bit of trouble. He knew that the Chu Clan as well as Lin Shimeng would be able to keep themselves uninvolved in it.

Chu Yu hoped that one day, the name Song Hong would strike fear into those with untoward intentions towards the Chu Clan and Lin Shimeng.

It may be difficult to be a powerful individual.

However, an unpredictable, ghost-like powerful individual... one who will unsettle people whilst commanding respect!

Since ancient times, people have feared the unknown. The more mystery that surrounds him, the more people will fear him.

As for his own identity, Chu Yu did not plan to portray an image of a powerful martial artist.

Afterall, he had been "wasted" for too many years.

If he had assumed the disposition of a powerful martial artist in an instant, he may be on the radar of the giants.

The current him was not at the stage where he could stand on even ground with ancient sects and clans.

As for how he would slowly reveal himself to the world, Chu Yu had not planned that through.

This, would have to be left up to fate.

The huge bus sped along the highway. On a 300km route, almost 200+ of those were on the highway.

After an hour or so, the bus exited the highway and stopped at a fork.

Ahead was a vast mountain range.

There was no visible end to the range and it looked extremely grand.

Everybody disembarked and looked towards the mountain range.

The guide was one of the Acupoint Charging Stage Six martial artists from the Leng Clan. He was extremely familiar with the road here.

He had been here countless times!

However, this time his heart ached. Previously, he had came here confidently, feeling as if he could reach the heavens just based off this opportunity.

What underworld clans? What ancient sects, ancient clans? They could all stand aside!

Next time, the Leng Clan would be the most powerful clan in the entire Dragon City!

No, not just the Dragon City, even the entire Northern Territories would be under the influence of the Leng Clan.

Sadly, this was all a dream.

With the addition of greater powers, the Leng Clan was relegated to the position of hosts.

"Everyone, please follow me." The Acupoint Charging Stage Six martial artist from the Leng Clan said calmly and politely.

Yet, his heart was dripping with blood, I hope you all die inside the ruins of the Celestial Fox Immortal Cave!

Chu Yu was in the middle of the crowd, and he moved towards the mountain calmly.

A hundred mile journey was no big deal for this group of people. Everybody kept a steady speed, as if in sync with each other.

During this process, a slightly plump youth, about 27-28 years old came abreast of Chu Yu and whispered, "Hey, brother, you’re representing the Chu Clan this time? Helping them to explore the ruins?"

Chu Yu glanced at him, the youth was smiling and seemed like he was full of kindness.

"Yes indeed." Chu Yu nodded.

"Many of us in this group are hired by others. However, I must say, this search for treasure is for oneself. After all, these kind of situations are dangerous, one misstep and you could lose your life. There is no reason to risk your life for others, unless the pay is good enough..."

The plump youth looked like he had just met an old friend and smiled, "My name is Fan Jian, how do I address you?"

Wu Dong’s ears perked up, eavesdropping on their conversation, even as he maintained his distance between Chu Yu

Fan Jian? Criminal? What a weird name.

"Song Hong." Chu Yu replied faintly.

Fan Jian replied, "I’ve heard a lot about you!"

Chu Yu rolled his eyes internally and thought to himself, What a hypocrite, this is only the second time I’m using this name, where could you have heard about me?

Fan Jian did not care much about that and continued whispering to Chu Yu, "Later in the ruins, how about we form a team? We can help and complement each other."

"Why did you find me?" Chu Yu asked.

"Because the rest are not interested to form a team with me." Fan Jian said honestly, without feeling ashamed, "I am only at Acupoint Charging Stage Eight, my cultivation level is a little too low." Chu Yu was rather exasperated, ONLY Acupoint Charging Stage Eight? Too low?

He wondered what kind of reaction such a statement would elicit from the people on China’s Heaven’s Pride Board.

However, the people on China’s Heaven’s Pride Board were rather talented and their cultivation levels rose rather quickly.

It was very possible that the person at the top of the board had already attained stage nine.

Fan Jian wasn’t exactly lying either, his level was not low in the eyes of the commoners, in fact, he could be considered an expert.

However, in the eyes of the ancient sects, large clans and ancient clans, he did not count for much.

"Then how did you get here?" Chu Yu looked at Fan Jian, not believing that he had no background.

Even though exploring the ancient ruins was filled with danger, it was no different from cutting a cake.

Not everyone was entitled to a share.

"I heard the news and came on my own." Fan Jian giggled.

Chu Yu gaze swept over the rest. He saw that many of them looked in disdain at Fan Jian, almost as if they recognized him but did not want to acknowledge that they knew him.

Chu Yu nodded, "Then let us discuss that after we arrive."

"Ok, that’s a deal!" Fan Jian said happily.

Chu Yu was speechless, who made a deal with you? Yet, he wasn’t exactly repulsed by this thick-skinned individual.

The group went through the mountains. Under the leadership of the Leng Clan’s member, they arrived at the Celestial Fox Immortal Cave promptly.

Many years ago, legend has it that a Celestial Fox lived here. Its magical powers were great and it was able to manipulate the weather.

At that time, the locals had revered it, and even built a Celestial Fox Temple here.

Today, that temple was crippled and it collapsed, and looked extremely dilapidated.

Next to the temple was a tall cliff. The Celestial Fox Immortal Cave was somewhere in the middle, about 10 meters up.

Looking at it from the bottom, the cave entrance was not big, about two feet in diameter, and it was pitch dark inside, with no way to know where it led to.

The Leng Clan martial artist brought the group here and pointed to the cave entrance, "This is the Celestial Fox Immortal Cave. You enter from here, after walking about 30 meters, there’ll be an enchantment, after passing through that, you’ll be in the ruins."

At this time, someone from the crowd said, "Okay, thank you for leading us here, you may go back now."

The Leng Clan martial artist stiffened as he looked at the man, "What do you mean?"

The man who spoke was a youth about 23-24 years old. His face was like a crown jade, and had an elongated body. He did not wear any modern clothing, instead opting to wear a white long sleeved tunic. His hair was tied up in a bun, and he looked rather suave.

He said with a faint mocking tone, "I just don’t want to see you send yourself to your own death."

The Leng Clan martial artist frowned, "Whether I send myself to my own death is my business..."

"Hehe, do you really think anyone and everyone has the right to enter this ancient ruin?" The youth laughed faintly, "Ok, we have all noted that you have done us all a favor by bringing us here. We won’t forget the Leng Clan in the future when we find loot inside here.

Afterwhich, he looked towards Chu Yu, "And you, you, you... you all don’t have to go in either. All you need to do is come here and take a look for exposure. The ancient ruins are not a place for you to enter."

The youth pointed at a few man, basically people from the Dragon City clans, or their helpers.

These men were disgusted, this was clearly him stealing the territory from the others.

The Celestial Fox Immortal Cave ancient ruins were found by the clans of the Dragon City, yet now, they were being left out.

"Why? Are you all unhappy?" As the youth spoke, a grand aura was suddenly radiated form his body.

This powerful suppressive power was fired off in Chu Yu’s direction.

In that moment, about 10 people paled and retreated, the two Acupoint Charging Stage Six martial artists fared even worse, retreating over 10 meters away, hands clutching their chest.

Chu Yu remained rooted to his spot, but he had assessed that this young man was an Invigorated Meridian Stage One expert!

He was the same level as the doll faced b*stard Qi Heng!

What surprised Chu Yu was that the plump Fan Jian, who had claimed that he was an Acupoint Charging Stage Eight, was still unharmed and smiling next to him.

It was almost as if he did not feel the wave of power that just exploded from the youth.

This man... was quite untrustworthy.

That youth, seeing that his aura had knocked a few people back, said flatly, "Are you satisfied now? I do not want to have to kill you all here, to be frank, you all are not my match either. Have a little self awareness and leave, and be able to live another day, okay?"

At this point, many of the youths beside Chu Yu showed their discontent. This emotion seemed to be directed straight at that youth!

Chu Yu’s heart wavered, Maybe this youth was not the arrogant b*stard that people see him as, maybe he really is trying to save people?

Limitless - Chapter 47: Mr Song

That night, Chu Tianxiong was at the sending off party for the expedition team exploring the Celestial Fox Immortal Cave tomorrow. He had taken a sip too much, so when someone mentioned Chu Yu, he unconsciously let out a rant.

"That nephew of mine, aish, let’s not talk about it… you want me to talk about him? What’s there to say? Most of the leaders of the company were brought over by me, I can’t possibly chase them away just because he’s here right?"

"He thinks that this is me being unwilling to hand on the reigns to him, and is now throwing a tantrum, hiding in his room and playing games all day."

"Advice? Of course I have advised him, but as you all know, he is the son of the legal wife, his hierarchy and standing is high within the clan, as for me, I am the son of a concubine. Even though I am his uncle, in reality… it’s nothing much."

"Mm, if he doesn’t want to take the reins, what can I do? I can only support the place temporarily, and wait for him to be in a flutter mood… ah, no it’s not tough, we are one family."

"No, you can’t say that, we are the Chu Clan, and our unity is what we pride ourselves on!"

"Saying all of these is useless, drink up, and let’s hope that tomorrow’s expedition will be smooth sailing!"

Chu Tianxiong’s words spread like wildfire that night.

The impression that Chu Yu was useless, temperamental and jealous had reached everybody in the upper strata of the Dragon City.

The only difference was that very little people gossiped about it this time. They were all afraid that the Lord Thief would come after them again/

The people who had tried gossiping the last time were still lying in hospital. If not for the fact that the Chu Clan had compensated them with superior medicine, they would be crippled by now.

What? Revenge?

Don’t you see that even the Leng Clan decided to tolerate it?

This was the Chu Clan!

The wolves of the north!

Even the Xie Clan, who had been in Yan Jing for so many years, was chased out of the city by the Chu Clan in one night.

The news of Xie Tianyu’s death a couple of days ago had also stunned countless people.

The young master of the Xie Clan had died in their own base camp. Furthermore, two Acupoint Charging Stage Eight experts had died together with him?

Whether this was actually the Chu Clan’s doing was not important. What is more important is that no one dared to antagonize the northern wolves.

Chu Xiaoxiao, accompanied by Xiao Yue, rushed to Chu Yu’s place, and she was even slightly angered by her father’s "indiscreet remarks", at the same time she could talk to Chu Yu and rant about her dad.

"How could my dad speak of brother like that? This bunch of people are horrible, once they start drinking they don’t know their place and they brag about themselves to the high heavens. Once they drink too much it’s almost as if the whole world is theirs. Brother, please do not hold it against them. They have been so annoying recently, barring me from finding you and forcing me to train and cultivate all day long."

Chu Xiaoxiao wore a figure hugging leather outfit. It clung to her exquisite body such that, despite her young age, she gave off a devilish vibe.

On the other hand, Xiao Yue was calm and composed as always.

What was different between Xiao Yue and the little gal was that Xiao Yue knew a lot more.

She was clear that Chu Yu wasn’t in the Dragon City at all these two days. The fact that Chu Tianxiong told barred Chu Xiaoxiao from coming meant that he also knew about this. He was afraid that Chu Xiaoxiao would give up the ruse!

She had a feeling that what happened in Yu Province in Luo Yang was connected to Chu Yu.

However, she would not reveal such a secret.

"How is it? How are you doing as the secretary of the board?" Chu Yu smiled as he asked Xiao Yue.

Xiao Yue replied flatly, "It’s just like that, nothing particularly difficult."

"Brother, you don’t know about this, but ever since Xiao Yue entered, there have been a group of animals inside the company going crazy, aish, all they think about is how to meet with her.

The key is that sister Xiao Yue is very good, she used a few small tricks to get them to work so hard it’s as if they’re on steroids…"

Chu Yu looked speechlessly at Xiao Yue, "Hey, little girl, speak with some respect."

"Aiya, brother, I’m just more graphic in my expression." Chu Xiaoxiao smiled widely, showing off her ivory white teeth.

Xiao Yue’s mouth beamed and she broke out in a faint smile.

Chu Yu looked at her, "That’s great, keep working at it!"

Xiao Yue looked at Chu Yu, "What about you?"

"I’ll remain in solitude! I want to cultivate! Recently, I’ve found a method to recuperate!" Chu Yu lied with a face of seriousness.

Xiao Yue wanted to roll her eyes.

On the other hand, Chu Xiaoxiao was completely ecstatic and she kept shaking Chu Yu’s arm asking for proof.

"Brother, really? Is this real? You aren’t lying to me right? My dad says that you’re always gaming… hehe."

Chu Yu stroked Chu Xiaoxiao’s silky long hair and smiled, "Of course it’s real, if you don’t believe me you can see it for yourself in due time."

"That’s great!" Chu Xiaoxiao’s heart leapt in joy, she was happier than when she herself improved.

The entire Chu Clan had been feeling a sense of pity for Chu Yu. How could such a true Heaven’s Pride be wasted in an instant?

If Chu Yu could recover, it would be great news that would excite everyone within the Chu Clan.

After hanging around for a bit, Chu Xiaoxiao said her farewell. She had many important tasks every day, not only does she need to study, she also needs to cultivate.

In her own words, she had hoped that her dad would leave soon, so that she could have her freedom.

Chu Yu laughed internally, "I wonder if this little gal will feel destroyed when she finds out her dad isn’t going away?

Only Xiao Yue and Chu Yu were left in the room.

Xiao Yue looked at Chu Yu, "The Qing Qius have contacted me."

"Hm?" Chu Yu glanced at her.

"They wanted me to go back, but got rejected by me. I asked them to send over a fox cultivation technique manual, and I got it yesterday."

Xiao Yue’s voice was cold, her expression calm.

However, Chu Yu could feel that the entire process was not as easy as she made it seem.

"I made a three year deal with them, after three years, I will solve the problem in my body." Xiao Yue said.

"Then didn’t they ask you why you must be here?" Chu Yu glanced at Xiao Yue.

Xiao Yue replied, "They did, I said because I like it."

"…" Chu Yu was quite exasperated as he thought to himself, just like that?

Yet, this fit into this girl’s character, cold and aloof, yet a little wilful, yet not enough to repulse others.

"Ok then, now that I know you’re fine, I’ll be on my way. Oh ya, tomorrow at the Celestial Fox Immortal Cave, there may be some disciples from the ancient sects, be careful." Then, she walked out of the room.

That night, Chu Yu called his two bodyguards over.

These two men were Chu Yu’s true confidants, they had followed by Chu Yu’s side for so many years without resentment.

It was about time that their powers were raised.

Chu Yu had raised both his bodyguards’ cultivation to the peak of Acupoint Charging Stage Seven in one night.

The reason why they didn’t make it to stage eight is because they had insufficient talent to do so.

If he had forcefully raised their level, it would harm their essentials.

Under the observation of his vertical eye, he could clearly see the human acupoints and meridians. Chu Yu could tell instantly what their level of talent was.

For people like his two bodyguards, a lot of their acupoints were completely sealed shut. If these acupoints were forced open, the body would suffer certain amounts of damage.

There were some injuries that even medicine could not heal.

Even so, the two bodyguards were completely ecstatic! They were on the brim of going crazy with excitement!

On one hand, they were elated that they had upgraded their cultivation, on the other hand, they were elated that their young master had finally recovered!

Chu Yu told them not to spread the news of his recovery.

The time was not right.

In the wee hours of the next morning, Chu Yu woke up and used his private lift to get to the underground car park.

It was the same driver who had been completely silent when sending Chu Yu out of the Dragon City.

After about 20 minutes, Chu Yu… it should be Song Hong, swaggered to the pre-arranged location.

This was a private club, Chu Yu was just stopped by the guard at the gates.

"Hi sir, this is a private club, do you have an invite?"

Chu Yu immediately took out a slightly ancient looking grey invite.

The guard immediately said respectfully, "Sir, this way please."

Chu Yu nodded and walked in.

There were already quite a few people inside the club, they were sitting and standing about speaking softly, engaged in conversation.

Seeing Chu Yu walk in, all of them raised their heads to size him up.

Chu Yu did not recognize majority of the people. He only recognized some of them from the Dragon City party the last time.

For example, he could recognize the young master Leng Jun from the Leng Clan, as well as the arrogant Wu Dong from the Wu Clan of Qing Hai.

There were many foreign faces, even though they did not give off any recognizable aura, Chu Yu could tell that they were not weak.

Even without using his vertical eye to observe, he could tell that there were many Invigorated Meridian realm experts here!

Even though it had only been a few days, many people were activated.

Chu Yu said in his heart.

After which, he discreetly found a seat. In the next moment, Chu Tianxiong brought Lord Thief along and entered.

Many people went up to greet Chu Tianxiong, yet they kept their distance from Lord Thief.

This bird was extremely hated, if not for the fact that it was protected by Chu Tianxiong, many clans would have hired people to get rid of it.

The trouble that it had gotten itself into did not just stop at hitting people.

There were many things that Chu Tianxiong did not tell Chu Yu.

For example, it had found its way into the treasure safes of other clans, stealing their superior medicine. All of these were filmed down.

As such, as much as they wanted to kill the bird now, there was someone of importance around.

However, Lord Thief still surveyed the surroundings proudly. When those people greeted Chu Tianxiong, Lord Thief also replied with an aloof nod.

Almost as if people were greeting him.

After which, Chu Tianxiong walked over to Chu Yu and nodded.

"Mr Song, thank you for coming to help us!"

Chu Yu replied flatly, "It’s no big deal, I will do my best."

At this point, many people couldn’t help but whisper amongst themselves.

"This is the helper that the Chu Clan hired?"

"He seems like someone rather ordinary, I wonder how strong he actually is."

"Haha, with something as dangerous as exploring an ancient ruin, it usually comes down to luck."

"You can only be lucky if you have the abilities."

Only Wu Dong’s eyes flickered and he frowned when he heard Chu Tianxiong call out to Mr Song.

After which, Leng Qingshan, the leader of the Leng clan, walked out and greeted everyone with a cupped fist.

"Everyone, I hope that you will all have good returns from this expedition to the Celestial Fox Immortal Cave. I shan’t say anymore, let us set off!"

Leng Qingshan was not in a good mood. Ever since this incident had blown up, it had gone beyond the reaches of his clan.

Taking the scripture as an example, many of the ancient sects and large clans have taken notice of it. He had already ordered some of his men to make copies as backup.

It was unlikely that a small clan like the Leng Clan could hold on to the scripture.

Even though the Leng Clan had started this expedition to the Celestial Fox Immortal Cave, many of the powerful people here had no connection to the Lengs.

Basically, the Leng Clan had been robbed of any real power.

He was extremely unhappy about this, but he was helpless.

As such, he was too lazy to engage in pleasantries. His mind was just set on getting these people on their way and out of his sight.

This was the sad truth about being a small clan. They did not dare take the huge benefits, and even when they wanted leftovers, they had to depend on others’ willingness to share some with them.

This time, the Leng Clan only sent out two Acupoint Charging Stage Six martial artists, just for the sake of it.

After all, if they can get something out of it then they will, if they can’t… then they can’t.

A luxurious bus took the 30 odd men out of the Dragon City. They were quickly on the expressway and speeding in the direction of the Celestial Fox Immortal Cave.

Limitless - Chapter 46: Awe

Chu Yu glanced at Lord Thief out of the corner of his eye, "Am I such a person?"

"Yes!"

"Is your skin itchy because I haven’t whacked you in a few days?"

"Brother, you kid, how was the loot this time?"

Lord Thief was still so cheap and this reassured Chu Yu.

"Let’s not talk about us just yet, since we’ve arrived at the Dragon City, you have disappeared, did you go and find Mother Thief?" Chu Yu glared at Lord Thief.

"Rubb... Hehe, am I that kind of bird?"

"Yes!"

"..." Lord Thief did not expect to be given a taste of his own medicine. He looked embarrassed as he used his wings to rub his head, "How can Mother Thief match up to me? If I want to find a partner, I would go for a true divine bird, like a phoenix or a vermillion bird..."

Chu Yu said expressionlessly, "The phoenix is a male bird, are you gay?"

"I..." Lord Thief was rolled his eyes in exasperation.

Having not seen each other for two days, the man and the bird weren’t exactly having the best of interactions.

Lord Thief was not planning on telling Chu Yu what it had been up to and Chu Yu had no intention of telling Lord Thief about his loot.

They had their secrets and neither wanted to come clean.

"This time, I want to go to the Celestial Fox Immortal Cave.

Lord Thief looked at Chu Yu seriously.

"I will be there for a separate aim." Chu Yu looked at Lord Thief.

"I know." Lord Thief laughed coldly, "The people outside are being played by you, yet, I have heard many stories about you."

"Oh?" Chu Yu raised his head to look at it.

"The trash young master of the Chu Clan has been faking illness since he arrived in the Dragon City, hahaha, how hilarious!" Lord Thief flapped his wings and guffawed.

After a long while, he saw that Chu Yu was still expressionless, "Why? Is this joke not funny? Is it very cold? Why aren’t you laughing?"

"Okok, you’re so boring." Lord Thief rolled its eyes, "Actually the outside world doesn’t have many stories about you, they all look down on you and spout rubbish behind your back. I heard them and got angry so I taught some of them a lesson. Xiao Yue looked me up and told me not to find trouble."

"You taught a few people a lesson?" Chu Yu raised his head and felt slightly nervous as he looked at Lord Thief, "Who did you teach a lesson to?"

Lord Thief stammered, "Actually... they aren’t anybody, they are just minor characters, mm, exactly, those who don’t get much air time."

At this point, Chu Yu’s phone rang and the person calling was Uncle Xiong.

"Chu Yu, you’re back?"

It was extremely quiet on the other end of the phone, Chu Tianxiong was likely in an extremely safe place.

"Yes uncle Xiong, I am back."

"Okay, I’m coming over now." Chu Tianxiong’s voice revealed traces of fatigue.

"Are you okay uncle Xiong?" Chu Yu was slightly suspicious. Even though he had just gotten back, he did not feel that anything was particularly out of the ordinary in the Dragon City.

"Nothing big, just wait for me, I’ll be right over." Chu Tianxiong hung up just as he finished his sentence.

Chu Yu raised his head to look at Lord Thief squatting on a table.

Lord Thief looked sheepish, it said, "I suddenly remembered that I have something to attend to, I shan’t stay here, I’ll visit another time..."

As it spoke, Lord Thief spread its wings and escaped in a puff of smoke.

Chu Yu frowned in suspicion, why did he get the feeling that this fella had just done something against his conscience?

Chu Tianxiong arrived quickly, in about 20 minutes.

When he saw Chu Yu, Chu Tianxiong stretched his hand and flicked a switch on the wall.

Chu Yu had initially thought that he was switching on the lights, but then, he felt the entire room being sealed by an invisible layer of enchantment. He was slightly surprised, he did not expect that the room would be equipped by a separating magical formation.

"I set this up after you left."

Chu Tianxiong laughed bitterly, "I would come in every night and switch this on in order to create the impression that I’m talking to you."

"Uncle Xiong’s effort is appreciated." Chu Yu smiled.

He knew that in order to cover up his leave from the Dragon City, Chu Tianxiong had done more than just that. Chu Tianxiong just didn’t tell him everything.

He deeply appreciated all that Chu Tianxiong had done for him.

Even though Chu Tianxiong had a reference to a bear in his name, he was extremely meticulous by nature and he covered all the bases.

Chu Yu felt that in this aspect, he was no match for uncle Xiong.

I’m still young! Chu Yu thought to himself.

Speaking of which, Chu Yu had plans to keep Chu Tianxiong around.

With Chu Tianxiong in the Dragon City, he could execute his plans with much more ease.

However, he had to see if Chu Tianxiong had any other plans. If he was going to return to the clan just to cultivate and train, Chu Yu really had plans to keep him here.

"We are all a family, don’t bother with the courtesies." Chu Tianxiong waved his hand and asked, "That bird of yours didn’t come over?"

Chu Yu thought to himself, Lord Thief did get into trouble.

"It was just here, but when it heard you were coming over, it fled."

"Haha..." Chu Tianxiong’s face twitched as he laughed bitterly, "Do you know how much trouble that bird has caused, luckily... no one has died."

"..." Chu Yu was exasperated.

"Some of the disciples of several big clans in the Dragon City were gossiping about you. That bird of yours overheard it and gave them all a beating. Now they’re all in hospital..."

"Is it serious?" Chu Yu’s faced was also contorted and his head throbbed.

"Not light." Chu Tianxiong smiled bitterly, "But it had all been settled. However, I’m afraid there’ll be repercussions in the coming days."

Chu Yu thought to himself: Could there be no repercussions? Anyone on the receiving end would not let this go easily.

However, he did not blame Lord Thief, those gossipy people deserved to be beaten.

If they still didn’t learn their lesson, he will have a fun time with them next time.

"Uncle Xiong, is your main motive to cultivate and train when you return home this time?"

Chu Tianxiong nodded, "Yup, I’m almost 40, if i don’t cultivate now, I’m afraid... it’ll be too late."

As he spoke, he smiled sheepishly, "With average talent like mine, I rely on the care of the clan and the additional resources they give me. Only then can I break through to a higher level and live slightly longer."

This was the truth, and it represented the thoughts of the majority of martial artists.

Not everybody was able to consistently break through to new heights. Many of the people on this earth could train their whole lives just to extend their lifespan.

"Uncle Xiong is currently at stage six right?" Chu Yu asked.

"Mm, stage six." Chu Tianxiong nodded.

"In that case... if I have a way to allow you to breakthrough to stage eight in a short period of time, will you be willing to stay?" Chu Yu asked Chu Tianxiong solemnly.

"What?" Chu Tianxiong was taken aback, before frowning at Chu Yu and laughing bitterly, "Don’t kid me..."

Chu Yu asked flatly, "Does uncle Xiong still think that I am wasted?"

Chu Tianxiong shook his head, "No, ever since the first day you arrived at Dragon City, I could feel that you have changed. I am extremely alert and I am slightly more meticulous than others when observing people. When I saw you that day, your aura, disposition and energy... did not feel like an uncultivable person."

Chu Tianxiong walked to the window slowly as he spoke, "Furthermore, I got more suspicious when you said that you were going to find Lin Shimeng in the two days you disappeared. How could an uncultivable person cover thousands of miles in two days? Not to mention... Xie Tianyu died!"

Chu Yu looked at Chu Tianxiong’s back and thought to himself, It would seem that coming clean today was the right choice, uncle Xiong had already picked up on something!

The Chu Clan’s unity was the exact reason why they could be a pack of wolves!

Since the ancient days, the Chu Clan had disciples who deserted, but no b*stards who turned on each other.

They relied on and trusted each other. Even though they would have conflicts about the spread of resources, they made sure to keep everything above board.

They were that united!

This was also the characteristic that the Chu Clan of the North was the most proud of!

"Then, why does uncle Xiong think that I am joking?" Chu Yu asked, laughing.

"Even if you, Xiao Yu, aren’t wasted, and can cultivate, and you are of a decent stage now..." Chu Tianxiong looked at Chu Yu, "That bird of yours was also likely quelled by you, that being said, your cultivation level is really not low!"

Chu Tianxiong did have his suspicions previously, but he didn’t think much of it.

Now that Chu Yu reminded him, he finally felt that the secret that Chu Yu was hiding, would have heaven-shattering consequences if it was leaked.

The Heaven’s Pride of the Chu Clan was never wasted!

This news... was too big.

Chu Tianxiong couldn’t help but check the separation magical formation again.

He then looked at Chu Yu, "Even then, how can you be able to raise my cultivation level in a short period of time?"

"Uncle Xiong, have you noticed uncle Qiang and uncle Sheng?" Chu Yu smiled and asked.

"They seem to... have broken through another huge stage, that... was you?" Chu Tianxiong understood immediately. He had initially thought that Chu Tianqing and Chu Tiansheng had gotten extremely lucky.

Only now did he realize that this lucky opportunity, was given by Chu Yu!

"Oh god... young master... you, what exactly happened to you?" Chu Tianxiong was almost so awed that he couldn’t find the words to express himself.

"Then, would uncle Xiong be willing to stay?" Chu Yu was extremely sincere, "After all, my current situation cannot be spread to others right now. Furthermore, many a times, I need to assume another identity to carry out my duties. As such, I would need uncle Xiong to hold down the fort here in the Dragon City."

"I, I... of course I’m willing!" Chu Tianxiong was ecstatic.

He would be willing to even if it took a year or two to increase his cultivation, not to mention a short period of time!

Didn't he choose to leave his businesses in the Dragon City to return to the clan to continue his upgrading?

Compared to the business he was running in society, upgrading his cultivation was more important!

If he could continue upgrading whilst staying in the same place, why would he reject it?

To be frank, he and his family have been living in the Dragon City for many years, and have grown accustomed to the life here. If it was possible, he would not want to forcefully uproot his entire family!

The reason why he had wanted to entrust Chu Xiaoxiao to Chu Yu was because she didn’t want to go back!

"Good, uncle Xiong, please come over."

Chu Yu did not like to dally on matters that have already been decided.

After 20 minutes, Chu Tianxiong stood there, dumbfounded and awed by what he had just experienced.

Previously, he had used 39 years of his life to cultivate to Acupoint Charging Stage Six. Just now, in 20 minutes, Chu Yu had managed to get him to break through to Acupoint Charging Stage Eight!

Acupoint Charging Stage Eight ah!

It was a level that he wouldn’t even dare dream of!

Chu Tianxiong had accumulated much resources over the years with the plan of returning to the clan’s headquarters and spend a few years to break through into Acupoint Charging Stage Seven.

As for his hopes of getting to Acupoint Charging Stage Eight, that would depend on his luck.

He was so awed he wondered if he was still in a fantasy.

How was this possible?

Cultivation was not as simple as eating and drinking. Even with eating and drinking, wouldn’t one still have to carry out the action themselves? Wouldn’t one have to buy the items?

In Acupoint Charging, to break open an acupoint was equivalent t breaking through a difficult barrier.

Why was it that when Chu Yu did it, it was so simple?

He looked at the dumbfounded Chu Tianxiong and smiled, "Uncle Xiong, if you stay here, I do not dare to promise anything more, but I can promise you that for Acupoint Charging and Invigorated Meridian, I will ensure you attain small perfection."

Everybody’s talent was different, even if he gave Chu Tianxiong the Superclass to train with, he could not breakthrough everything and attain complete perfection. As such, he could only promise him small perfection all the way till the Invigorated Meridian stages. As for whether he could step into the Xiantian stages was out of Chu Yu’s power to decide.

"Small perfection?" Chu Tianxiong was slightly confused.

"365 true Acupoints, 20 true meridians broken through." Chu Yu said.

"That’s only small perfection?" Chu Tianxiong’s eyes widened.

Sigh!

Chu Tianxiong sighed and he looked at Chu Yu with respect.

Afterwhich he bowed deeply, "In the future, all of young master Chu’s matters, are my matters too!"

Without the need to emphasize anything, just a statement like that was sufficient!

The words of the people of the Chu Clan were golden!
