บท 64: Chapter 64: Direct Disciple Heir
It took a while for everyone to calm down, trying to come to terms some of the true power Xiu Ye has, and Wu Zhangkong decided to continue with the tests. "Next is the strength test."
The first one up was Xiu Ye. The order for the test was for the one who had the highest result from the previous test to go up first, and so on.
The strength test simply measured the power of one's punch, and it didn't measure anything like carrying capacity or how much stress their bodies could undergo.
After all, only attack power held any meaning to Soul Masters.
Bang! Left fist, 458 kilograms!
Bang! Right fist, 484 kilograms!
Xiu Ye let out a huff, he was surprised by the results of his fists' strength force without reinforcement. With that high amount of strength, he could easily pop a normal person's head off like a balloon. Just goes to show how different this world is compared to his previous.
Next up was Gu Yue, who showed impressing strength of 115kgs and 143kgs from her left and right fists respectively. Then followed Mu Xi, who showed 267 and 280. Tang Wulin with an impressive whooping of 1,156 and 1,348, while using his Golden Dragon King Right Arm, he had gotten 2, 700 kilograms and when using his claw it had earned him 3,998 kilograms of strength. Everyone was stunned by his strength and the test was temporarily stopped due to the machine being destroyed by Tang Wulin's claw.
As they got a second machine, the test continued. Zhang Yangzi with a 61 and 69. Xie Xie with 153 and 164. And lastly, Wang Jinxi with 423 and 468.
Zhang Yangzi went down on all fours, a dark cloud hovering on top of his head. He muttered about being much weaker than girls and other stuff.
Xiu Ye ignored him, everyone else did.
"Next, reaction speed test."
Just as expected, Xiu Ye had the best reaction speed. Second place was Xie Xie. Tang Wulin was third, next was Gu Yue, then Mu Xi, leaving Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi in sixth and seventh place respectively.
After seeing the results of this test, Zhang Yangzi's self-doubt only grew greater and greater.
In addition to reaction speed, they continued to test all aspects of the body. Number one was Xiu Ye, followed closely by Tang Wulin.
"Last is soul power." They all were standing in front of a white crystal ball and started taking turns.
Results are shown, Mu Xi had the highest soul power of 35, followed by Xiu Ye who had rank 26 soul power, Wang Jinxi is at 23, Zhang Yangzi at 22, Xie Xie at 21, Gu Yue at 19 and Tang Wulin at 13.
Tang Wulin stared at Xiu Ye with wide eyes, he was stunned at his cousin's soul power advancement. He subconsciously clenched his fists, he has to get stronger!
Due to his spiritual power being at the Spirit Domain Realm, Xiu Ye could control the elements molecules, specially the fire, lightning and metal elements in the atmosphere to gather around him and absorbed them to speed up his cultivation. What's more, he could feel some changes in his dantian, where his soul power goes, but he didn't see any clear changes.
Though whatever it was, it's helping him.
"The testing is finished now. Today's tests were primarily on your body's abilities and doesn't represent everything. Martial souls are still crucial to Soul Masters, so some students shouldn't be discouraged. Now, class dismissed. Tang Wulin, follow me." Wu Zhangkong gracefully walked away with Tang Wulin in tow.
It was late afternoon now, a bit too late to do any blacksmithing, Xiu Ye turned towards the others and said. "Wanna go watch some movies in my room?"
"I'll bring snacks!" Xie Xie said with a thumbs up. The girls both nodded with small smiles.
Zhang Yangzi and Wang Jinxi looked at each other and turned towards Xiu Ye. "Can we come with you?"
Xiu Ye shrugged his shoulders. "Why not?"
The two smiled and nodded.
.....
"So, you haven't any clues either, sis?" Xiu Ye let out a frustrated sigh, the elemental molecules slightly trembled in response to his current emotions but he quickly calmed himself down.
It was close to midnight and he was sitting crosslegged on his bed, calling Yu Fei. He did not want something to happen to his bed, as he wanted to sit his butt on a comfortable place to cultivate peacefully, and also not alert his big sister that something was going wrong around him.
"There is, but it's small, I'm afraid. I had asked madam for help when I couldn't find any trails of them for a while, thankfully I did as she found them soon after. Unfortunately, even with her network of information and contacts, she was only able to extract information that they were spotted only once in the Dou Spirit Continent. Madam has already send out some agents to try and find them, but no results has come in yet." Yu Fei had let out a sigh, though sad than frustration really. Although she didn't personally know Tang Ziran and Lang Yue, she knew that they were kind people who treated Xiu Ye good when she left. She felt obligated and so, she wanted to at least help them for settling the boy into a normal childhood. "So, do you have anything else you want to talk to me about?"
Xiu Ye paused for a moment and asked. "How are you, sis?"
Yu Fei snorted. "Finally, I was feeling hurt that my baby bro, that I personally raised for years, wouldn't care about me anymore."
Xiu Ye rolled his eyes. "Sis..."
"Physically speaking, I'm fine. Psychologically speaking? Slightly exhausted. Being chased by cultists and the federation bastards for the last couple of years, without any rest I might add, does that to a person. And don't worry, I'm here talking to you aren't I? Every single night without stop? That just proves you my ability to survival and sneak off from my chasers."
Xiu Ye let out a long air of relief from his mouth, his body going slightly slumped on his bed. In fact, he just let his body flopped back down on the bed from his crosslegged position.
He knew that Yu Fei was strong, though he doesn't know how strong she really is, but he just couldn't help but worry about her. As much as annoying she is with her teasing, and bitchy attitude sometimes, she is someone that raised and loved him for his entire six years of life. And damn him if he wouldn't repay that, with a thousand fold of loyalty and love.
"Oh yeah, did you finally get a solution for that Spirit Pagoda problem you have? I can try to visit Eastsea City and–"
"No, I can't burden you with any of my problems. Not while you're doing with, whatever it is you're currently doing." Xiu Ye interrupted her. "Besides, I'd already dealt with the problem."
"Oh? And please do tell, Ye, in how were you able to shake off the recruitment of a Branch Spirit Pagoda Head?" Yu Fei asked with a curious tone of voice.
Xiu Ye didn't beat around the bush and directly replied. "The Saint Craftsman Mu Chen made Tang Wulin and I, his disciples."
"...." There was only silence from the soul communicator.
"Sis?"
"... Is this fate? Or did the master or madam foreseen this?" Yu Fei mumbled words passed through the soul device.
Xiu Ye raised an eyebrow. 'Fate? My parents foreseeing my discipleship with uncle Mu Chen. Do they have foresight, time related abilities or just any prophet ability? Or, more terrifying, have incredible intelligence to calculate the probability of this occuring? Just how powerful are they? The worse part however, is how powerful are their enemies?' He shook his head to snap out of his scrambling mind.
"And, the branch head didn't push for your recruitment anymore? That can't be right. Even if you are Mu Chen's disciple, that doesn't mean you can't join the Spirit Pagoda. The Blacksmith Association is only an association, you can join in it, and, join an organization like Spirit Pagoda. Their ideals and traditions don't align, but it doesn't cause any discord between each other. Hua Wei knows this, any self respecting person with high power status in the soul master knows this, so how can he just stop?" Xiu Ye smirked, his golden pair of eyes shimmered with a silver light. A will of steel reflected in him. Hua Wei might have thought that he would bend, that he would just go along with the old man's schemes and become his puppet most likely...
Well, he thought wrongly.
"You're correct with all statements, sis. But you forgot one thing. Association members can join any organizations, all without exception, well, except for special cases like high status association members like the president or direct disciple heirs." Although he couldn't see her, Xiu Ye could imagine the wide-eyed look Yu Fei currently had. She had understood what he said.
"You became a direct disciple heir of Mu Chen? You are to inherit his position, resources and political power in the business world. Ye, this is... Are you sure that this what you want?"
Xiu Ye wryly smiled. "Of course not, my goal isn't becoming the president of a Blacksmith Association in Eastsea City. Don't worry, it's just temporary, uncle Mu Chen and I talked about it. I would be direct disciple heir in name and I could just give up the title anytime I want." Yu Fei let out a relieve sigh.
They continued on talking with each other through the night for a couple hours, before both ended the call to sleep.
