While the two Zhao Empyreans eyes were filled with greed and imagining a huge windfall of wealth, Zhao Chen stood unconvinced.
"Cai'er, this-this dung, isn't it dependent on that vile Nether Hell King Beast!? Wouldn't we be required to capture it!? As of now, we can't even track that evil spawn of hell."
"Grandfather, Grandson has discovered important knowledge. The reason you are being targeted is because the beast views you as intruding in its territory. According to a Beast Tamer, the beast considers your courtyard..well..as its personal latrine. This is why it appears every day. If you relocate to another courtyard, you quickly will find yourself no longer suffering attacks."
"This! The attacks will finally stop!?" exclaimed an amazed Zhao Chen.
Zhao Wen said, "Cai'er doesn't this mean that the beast will continue to perform its business in Father's courtyard."
"Mhm. It will be an endless supply of Divine Miracle Dung that only our Zhao Clan has access to."
Zhao Jia chortled again. "All the world's wine will be mine! Hahahahaahahahaaha!"
Tian Cai took a hard look at her.
Granny, you're starting to scare this child.
Zhao Wen said, "Son, what things do you need? With your bank card, we should have the means to invest in any resources."
"First we sign a contract with Alchemist Gu and fulfill his conditions. Grandfather and I switch manors and.."
"What! You want to move into Grandfather's abode of hell!?" blurted Zhao Chen.
"Relax, is not Miss Mu the Golden Path Empyrean? Her formations should be more than enough to defend against the beast as well as suppress its smell. Me moving is required to personally oversee the testing."
Zhao Wen's eyes narrowed. "You-You really won't be harmed?"
Tian Cai ran over and hugged Zhao Wen's waist. "Mom, Son promises he won't be hurt."
Patting his head, Zhao Wen said, "Mother will trust you. If that beast does end up hurting you...Humph! Mother will kill her way into the Nether Hell."
Next door in the Ling Clan. Zhu Shensheng, the Divine Pig sensed a sliver of killing intent. Looking up, she snorted, "Who dares target this Queen!"
Although the sky was bereft of any clouds, thunder rolled about the sky.
Tian Cai looked up, wincing.
Teacher detected Mom's killing intent?
It was then as he looked about, he found a hole in the wall. In the distance you could see buildings belonging to the Ling Clan.
"Mom, that-that hole. Was it there before?" he asked pointing.
Zhao Wen sighed, "These two days your Uncle Qiang has returned; already he's cost the clan more than 100 Million Spirit Stones. Last Night, he blasted through that wall wanting to hunt down that beast. He quickly discovered he'd entered Little Ling Fan's courtyard and almost started a clan war.
Tian Cai looked at the wall.
"That's Sister Ling's courtyard!?"
"Mhm."
"Uncle really is the Young Disaster King!"
"Indeed."
For the rest of the day, servants worked to relocate both Zhao Chen and Tian Cai.
In the courtyard, Mu Huizhong placed a disk with several glowing stones into Tian Cai's hands.
"Hubby, Wife has completed her task. This disk is the formation key. With it you can control all the formations within the courtyard. Of course, the smell suppressing formation is heavily fortified."
"Beauty, truly you're peerless!"
"Furthermore, where ever we decide to plant the trees, then we can use the formations to control the temperature and humidity."
Frowning, he said, "That's well said and done, however?...What do I know about growing trees."
Mu Huizhong chuckled, "Isn't this Savant City? There absolutely must be a tree growing expert. We simply have to search."
Tian Cai's eyes brightened.
"Little Brother, Big Sis is here to visit."
Recognizing Bai Guang's melodious voice, Tian Cai's eyes brightened. Quickly, he turned to go meet her.
Mu Huizhong watched his back as he hurried away. Her green eyes softened.
Master, spend all the time you can with your first love. Fate waits for no one.
Seeing Bai Guang, Tian Cai's heart raced.
What's this I'm feeling?
"There you are Little Brother. Master sent me over to take you over to Martial Uncle Qiang. She says your training needs to begin."
"Big Sis, Mother need only send a servant. Why ask you personally?"
"Big Sis insisted, who knows if Qin Rong hurts you by accident. You need not worry, Big Sis will protect you always."
Tian Cai's face reddened.
Big Sis cares about me.
"Where is Uncle Qiang now?" asked Tian Cai.
Grabbing his hand, Bai Guang pulled him along. "Strangely, Martial Uncle and that Qin Rong are waiting for you in the Forbidden area. Why do we have to go all the way down there? Can't we simply meet at the training area?"
Tian Cai shot a look at Bai Guang.
Sister doesn't know!!
Clearing his throat, Tian Cai asked, "Mother approved of you coming? She knows Uncle is at the Forbidden Area?"
"Mhm..although Master did pause a bit before assenting."
Tian Cai's eyes gleamed.
Big Sis, Little Brother will soon surprise you.
Soon they reached the Forbidden Area. Just as they arrived, Qin Rong's body slammed against a wall.
Grunting, she jumped back up and landed in a crouch.
"Good...You've managed to increase your speed. Just now, Master also felt your power went up a notch. Rest a bit as Little Nephew has arrived."
Tian Cai cupped his hands. "Uncle, Nephew has come to train."
Bai Guang, sniggered. "Sister Qin, how you crashed into the that wall, demonstrative of someone well versed with falling."
Qin Rong hissed, standing up. Pointing a finger she said, "You want to die!?"
"Haaaha! Sister Qin, why so upset? Just admit your incapable," chortled Bai Guang.
"Humph, My Metal Fist will show you just how incapable your Burning Fist is. Master, Disciple asks to be allowed to exchange pointers with Sister Bai."
As though appearing somewhat bored, Zhao Qiang replied, "If she agrees then Master will allow it."
Both looked at Bai Guang, who was already putting on her red-scaled gloves. Eyes gleaming, she said,
"Little Brother, watch your Big Sis defeat a weaker opponent."
Qin Rong's eyebrows inverted as she impatiently put on her own gloves. "Sister Bai, Long have I waited for this day. Soon you will be on your knees begging for mercy."
Looking up into Bai Guang's face with concern, Tian Cai said, "Big Sis, you-you won't get hurt will you?"
Scoffing, Bai Guang said, "She can't hurt me!" Striding forward, she raised her fists and they burst into flame.
In response, Qin Rong snarled furiously. Her fists gleamed with a silvery metallic light as she assumed a guarded position. Gingerly, she slid out to meet Bai Guang.
Subconsciously, Tian Cai slipped next to Zhao Qiang. Noticing his Uncle's disinterest, he asked, "Uncle, who do you think will win?"
Zhao Qiang snorted. "Naturally, you'll find your answer if you watch?"
"You don't have an opinion?"
"Child, since your Uncle's return, they have already fought five times."
"What! How come no one informed me!"
The two circled each other like cats. Releasing their Martial intent, their hair fluttered with the fluctuations.
Seeing the rising tension, Tian Cai's stomach buzzed with anxiety.
"Relax no will get hurt," commented Zhao Qiang.
"Uncle, what do you mean?"
"Naturally, you'll soon see."
And within a few breaths, Tian Cai discovered the meaning of his Uncle's words.
"Qin Rong! Take this, HAAA!"
"Weak! Take this, AAHHA!"
"You call that a strike, HAAA!"
"UH—You-You may have struck me but its far from over. AHAHHAA!!"
This?
"Uncle, what in the hell are they doing?"
Before Tian Cai, the two only appeared to be circling each other trading shouts.
"It's a duel between Martial intents….sigh...long ago they almost killed each other. Both have crippled the other at least seven times already. Finally, Younger Sister decreed they could only do battle via Martial intent."
Bewildered, Tian Cai said, "There's such a thing?"
"You may not know this, but they are actually sisters by blood. Both are the illegitimate daughters of an old family retainer. Because we owe that man, we raised them as Clan members. Unfortunately, their mothers were bitter rivals and they inherited the sins of the past."
Tian Cai shot a look at Bai Guang. "Sister has such a history!"
It's a soap opera!
"Come, they will be at it for awhile. Let Uncle test you."
Following his Uncle, Tian Cai intertwined his fingers and stretched his elbows. Cracks were heard as he stretched his neck from left to right.
Finally, Superman will shine.
At the other end of the training chamber, Zhao Qiang beckoned with a palm. "Using all your might, punch Uncle."
Smirking, Tian Cai asked, "Uncle are you sure you want me to do that?"
Zhao Qiang shook his head, not even taking seriously Tian Cai's question.
"HEHAAAA! Sister, that was my new power strike!" said Qin Rong.
Gritting her teeth, Bai Guang said, "You-You force me to bring out my full power. Don't mind me for being…!
THOOM!
"ARRRRRAGGGGGH!"
A strong fluctuation rippled across the pairs faces and threw them back. Sprawled on the floor, they looked in shock at the sight before them. Zhao Qiang was groaning, pulling himself from out of a hole in the wall.
Pointing furiously, he said, "You..You..You!"
Acting innocent, Tian Cai said, "Uncle you said punch you. Nephew was only listening to his elder."
"Master! What-What happened?" asked Qin Rong.
Still pointing, "Little Punk, what weapon did you use!?"
Tian Cai shook his hands, "These are nephew's only weapons."
"Impossible! There was no Martial intent!!"
Bai Guang pulled herself to her feet. Not sure exactly what happened, she moved to protect Tian Cai.
He stopped her with a wave of his hand. "Big Sis, it's alright, Uncle is only testing me."
Still in disbelief, Zhao Qiang roared, "Again!" Striding before Tian Cai, he released his Martial King aura. Visibly, the pressure caused Qin Rong and Bai Guang to stiffen. "This King would like to see you do that again."
Tian Cai shrugged his shoulders. "Nephew can only obey!"
With a roar he hurled himself forward. As his hand clenched into a fist, the air visibly distorted.
AWWOOOOOOO!
Zhao Qiang keeled over clutching his groin.
Qin Rong and Bai Guang looked at each other, their eyes practically popping out of their skulls.
What did we just see!!?
"ARRGG! You dare hit Uncle in his most sensitive of places!!!!" spatted Zhao Qiang with a pale green face.
This!?
Tian Cai grimaced. He ran over to help Zhao Qiang, "Uncle, nephew was aiming for your stomach!"
"Don't you dare touch me! What the hell are you!?"
Suddenly, Empyrean might inundated the room. Bai Guang and Qin Rong both groaned falling to a knee each.
Zhao Wen slowly strode out followed by Zhao Jia. Her voice echoed out, "Big Brother, this is why I called you. It's time for you all to know..."
Reaching Tian Cai, she patted his head, "My Cai'er, your nephew, is Superman!"
Zhao Jia nodded.
Indeed grandson is Superman.
Zhao Qiang, Qin Rong and Bai Guang looked at each other.
Who's Superman?
Still feeling the pain between his legs, Zhao Qiang said, "Sister, don't talk in circles, just state the truth!"
"Cai'er is the son of a peak Grand Empyrean, of the Ninth Heaven and Grand Elder of Mystic Sect. As such he was born a super genius..he was born with the constitution of a Martial King. Isn't this the definition of a Superman"
"By the Divinities are you blind? This Super..Super Punk!...Almost ended by shortie!!!!" roared Zhao Qiang.
"And what?...Just what do you think you can do to him? You touch him...do you want to answer to his father? You want to offend one of the greatest sects in the Nine Chaos Heavens…..MHM!!??"
Zhao Qiang's face blackened to the deepest levels of dejection.
After several breathes of dissatisfaction, Zhao Qiang looked to Zhao Jia. "Grandmother you knew!"
"Mhm," she responded. Solemnly she came forward. "Qiang'er, he wasn't the only reason you were called home. It's time you knew the truth...It's like this..."
For the next hour, Zhao Jia related the story of the upcoming calamity.
Afterwards, Zhao Qiang along with the Qin Rong and Bai Guang sat stupefied. Tian Cai was sitting in Zhao Wen's lap. Zhao Jia was polishing the Heavenly Punishing Paddle. Tian Cai had one eye on it at all times and secretly was prepared to run at any moment.
"Grandmother, Sister, this-this news is hurting my head from six sides."
Zhao Jia spat on the paddle and it shimmered with a delicate light. "Now you know why Grandmother has increased her drinking."
Tian Cai eyes captured the event.
What was that?
"So we must secretly train Super Punk here so that he can control is strength and remain low profile?"
"Mhm," replied Zhao Wen.
"Then Miss Mu Huizhong?"
"She was sent by Ninth Heaven's Yun Clan to protect him. His father is their clan's foremost genius."
"Very Well, this King fully understands now…But Nephew? By the Divinities, why did you have to strike my little junior?"
Tian Cai scratched his head. "Uncle, I'm a 5 year old little guy with no fighting experience. With my height, you think I can accurately aim at your stomach?"
Zhao Jia chortled, "Haha Qiang'er, clearly its your own fault."
"Granny! Can't you take my side just once?"
"Humph! Can't you stop costing the Clan millions and millions of spirit stones for reparations...MHM!?"
Zhao Qiang's face blackened once more.
Fat Shadow appeared with the other four shadows. "Aunt, as ordered, I have informed them of Youngest Master's abilities. From now on, we Five will work to maintain this secret."
"Good Good Good. Everybody will train with Cai'er. In the future everyone will discover the benefits. Our mission is to raise his cultivation to Martial King as soon as possible. At the same time, we need to raise the strength of everyone in the Clan. Heed my command," declared Zhao Wen.
The Five Shadows, Qin Rong and Bai Guang cupped their hands and bowed in salute.
Clearing his throat, Zhao Qiang asked, "What-What does father think of all this?"
Zhao Wen's forehead knitted. Zhao Jia started humming and continued to polish the Heavenly Punishing Paddle.
Gasping, Zhao Qiang said, "Father doesn't know!?"
"Mhm."
Zhao Jia snorted, "You know how Chen'er mouth blabs after two cups of wine. If he knows, then the whole of Savant City knows."
"Really, Grandfather likes to gossip?" asked Tian Cai.
To his amazement, every single person in the room nodded their heads furiously.
Good to know….never ever tell Grandfather an important secret.
Suddenly, Tian Cai stood straight up like an arrow.
Concerned, Zhao Wen asked, "Son, are you unwell?"
"Mom, Grandfather knows…!"
"Knows what!?"
"He knows about the Divine Miracle Dung!"
Except for Zhao Jia and Zhao Wen, everyone shot a look at Tian Cai.
Did he just say Divine Miracle Sh*t!
