章節 5: Chapter 5 Chen Yuan Takes a Disciple
Suddenly, all eyes turned toward Yang Xiaotian.
Seeing Yang Zhong provocatively looking at him, Yang Xiaotian leaped up and landed on the Martial Arts Stage, "Why would I be afraid?"
Chen Yuan, finding Yang Xiaotian interesting, smiled and asked Yang Ming, "Who is this child?"
Yet Yang Ming looked embarrassed and made an awkward noise.
Next to him, Li Guang, the Li Family Patriarch of Xingyue City, said to Chen Yuan with a smile, "Elder Chen Yuan, this child is Yang Xiaotian, also the grandson of Yang Ming, and he awakened his Martial Soul on the same day as Yang Zhong." He paused and then added, "However, Yang Xiaotian awakened a second-level Tortoise Martial Soul!"
Second-level Tortoise Martial Soul!
Li Guang's voice was loud, and a wave of laughter spread through the crowd.
Chen Yuan was taken aback and shook his head.
Yang Ming's face turned red with embarrassment, feeling humiliated.
Looking at Yang Xiaotian on the Martial Arts Stage, he found him increasingly displeasing to the eye.
On the stage, Yang Zhong, seeing that his provocation had worked and Yang Xiaotian had indeed stepped up, laughed, "Yang Xiaotian, summon your Martial Soul. I've spared you for a few days, and as an elder brother, I'll let you make the first move."
Yang Xiaotian, hearing this, did not hold back. However, he did not summon his Martial Soul and instead closed the gap to Yang Zhong with a swift movement, throwing a punch.
This punch, without using any inner strength or Fighting Spirit, was fast. Yang Zhong couldn't react in time and took the punch squarely.
Yang Zhong stumbled backward, clutching his left eye, his face twisted in pain. Pointing at Yang Xiaotian, he exclaimed, "You!" But before he could finish, his right eye was struck by another punch from Yang Xiaotian.
Yang Zhong stumbled back repeatedly, tears streaming down from the pain.
This turn of events stunned everyone present.
Seeing Yang Zhong being hit, Yang Ming's face hardened with anger, and he scolded, "To lay such a heavy hand on your own brother, that's disgraceful!"
Just as he finished speaking, Yang Zhong roared and, with a fierce look, unleashed both fists towards Yang Xiaotian's heart, attacking with all his might.
"Xiaotian, watch out!" Yang Chao's face changed as he shouted without thinking.
Watching Yang Zhong's frenzied attack, Yang Xiaotian merely sidestepped lightly, avoiding the assault, and then once again launched a punch. This time, he employed the strength of a first-level warrior's Fighting Spirit.
Boom!
Yang Zhong was sent crashing to the ground.
"What?!"
The spectators were all taken aback by what they saw.
"This is Fighting Spirit, the power of a first-level warrior!" Li Guang, the Li Family Patriarch, and many other experts of Xingyue City were shocked as they watched Yang Xiaotian.
Wasn't Yang Xiaotian a second-level Martial Soul? In less than a month, he had broken through to the first level and become a first-level warrior?
Even Chen Yuan from Divine Sword Academy was greatly surprised.
A breakthrough to the first level in less than a month, some disciples of Divine Sword Academy might not be able to achieve it, right?
At that moment, a figure flashed, rushing onto the Martial Arts Stage. It was Yang Ming, who, looking angrily at Yang Xiaotian, accused, "You've reached the first level so quickly, did you secretly eat the family's Dragon-Tiger Elixir?"
Some days ago, he had spent a great deal to purchase a Dragon-Tiger Elixir. Now, seeing Yang Xiaotian's sudden breakthrough, he subconsciously thought that Yang Xiaotian had stealthily swallowed the elixir he had obtained. Otherwise, with Yang Xiaotian's second-level Martial Soul, how could he possibly have made such a rapid breakthrough?
"I did not," Yang Xiaotian replied when his grandfather questioned him angrily.
Hearing this, Yang Ming shouted, "Still trying to argue your way out!" Then, he ordered the old steward Yang Lin, "Quick, check that Dragon-Tiger Elixir."
The old steward Yang Lin respectfully acknowledged the order and retreated.
At this, Yang Hai stepped forward angrily, "He must have stolen and eaten the Dragon-Tiger Elixir."
Upon hearing this, Yang Chao couldn't restrain his anger, retorting, "Big brother, which eye of yours saw Xiaotian steal the Dragon-Tiger Elixir?"
While the two argued, old steward Yang Lin returned. He glanced at Yang Xiaotian, approached Yang Ming, and reported, "Manor Lord, the Dragon-Tiger Elixir is still intact."
Yang Ming was stunned.
Chen Yuan from Divine Sword Academy suddenly stepped forward, facing Yang Xiaotian, and asked, "Child, can you summon your Martial Soul for me to see?"
If Yang Xiaotian hadn't consumed the Dragon-Tiger Elixir, then how could he have advanced so rapidly to the first level?
He found this strange.
Yang Xiaotian hesitated for a moment but eventually summoned his Martial Soul.
Suddenly, a giant tortoise appeared before everyone.
A wave of snickers and laughter spread across the crowd.
Chen Yuan, who had some expectations, was greatly disappointed when he saw Yang Xiaotian's Giant Tortoise Martial Soul. Though he didn't know how the child had been cultivating, the Martial Soul before him was indeed of the second level.
"Elder Chen Yuan, what do you think?" Yang Ming asked anxiously.
Chen Yuan shook his head and explained to Yang Ming and the others, "It's a second-level top-tier Black Iron Giant Turtle, and that little Black Snake is the second-level Black Water Snake, parasitic Martial Souls that coexist as one."
Yang Ming, who had hoped for a miracle, was instantly disheartened upon hearing this.
Who was Chen Yuan? The Vice President of Divine Sword Academy, with immense insight. If even he judged it to be a second-level Martial Soul, then it undoubtedly was.
Yang Hai, Yang Zhong, and the others were secretly pleased to hear that Yang Xiaotian possessed a second-level parasitic Martial Soul.
Yang Xiaotian observed the expressions of Yang Ming, Yang Hai, Yang Zhong, and the rest.
Second-level parasitic Martial Soul?
Parasitic Martial Soul, he knew, meant that only the main Martial Soul could devour Spiritual Energy from Heaven and Earth, with the other one being utterly useless.
Yet both his Martial Souls could devour Spiritual Energy, which alone made it impossible for them to be parasitic.
And as for being second-level? That was even less likely.
He had broken through four levels within twenty days, how could he possibly have just a second-level Martial Soul?
Nevertheless, Yang Xiaotian did not speak out to clarify.
Seeing Yang Xiaotian as a second-level Martial Soul and no longer interested, Chen Yuan turned his attention away and asked Yang Zhong to summon his Martial Soul. Instantly, a gigantic bird covered in flames appeared before everyone.
"Indeed, the Ancient Mythical Beast Green Phoenix!" Chen Yuan, gazing upon the giant bird, couldn't help but admire it before smiling at Yang Zhong, "Yang Zhong, would you like to be my disciple?"
Yang Ming and Yang Hai were overjoyed at hearing this.
"Disciple pays respect to the master," Yang Zhong hurriedly bowed, respectfully responding.
"Good, good!" Chen Yuan laughed heartily, content that his long journey to the Yang Family Manor wasn't in vain, now that he could take a tenth-level top-tier Martial Soul disciple under his wing.
