Fang Yan's Breakthrough

Jiang Town

"When was the last time you saw Young master?"

"It's been very long, I heard that he has been cultivating in seclusion."

"What cultivation? He's currently in the Sixth stage of the Kung Fu Body Realm, there is no room for further improvement."

"Maybe he wants to have a shot at the legendary stage?"

" Even though that's the case, it can't be possible right?"

" The genius that broke through that stage some decades ago became a powerful figure in the later years.

"An exceptional talent like Young master might have a chance."

"Let's not be too pessimistic, Young master's breakthrough will essentially benefit the likes of us."

Voices were heard coming from one of the most expensive courtyard on the town. The courtyard was filled with different kinds of plants emitting a refreshing fragrance which had a refreshing effect. Different kinds of ornaments were arranged on the wall highlighting it sense of wealth.

Zhang Wei walked into the courtyard, the voices quietened down, he demanded staring at them coldly. "What are you guys doing here? Are you trying to disturb Young master's cultivation? Don't you have duties to attend to?

"And how dare you question Young master's talent? Humph! What a bunch of lowly trash!"

The maids and guards quickly scattered running off in different directions.

Shen Yong asked "What has Young master been doing in seclusion, the teachers are asking of him?"

"Tell them to f*ck off! Young master is busy with his cultivation, no one is allowed to disturb him, it's of at most importance." Zhang Wei said without regard.

"Okay, but can we know what he has been doing in seclusion?" Tong Ye asked not able to hold back.

"You will know when the time comes." Zhang Wei answered smiling.

Shen Yong snorted 'why acting mysteriously? Humph! He thinks he is better than us'.

The ground vibrated suddenly, everyone instantly looked around for the source of the vibration, they noticed that it came from their Young master's cultivation room and hurried over, their faces contorted in rage.

'Who will be so bold to assasinate their Young master in his own residence?' Do they have a death wish?

Zhang Wei was shivering in joy, he knew what was happening, his spiritual sense had already enveloped the room, nothing could escape his eyes.

'Young master has broken through, it was earlier than expected, even the geniuses in the main branch would take longer time to reach that stage'. He walked shakily to Fang Yan's room, the word 'happiness' would fail to describe his current mood. He was over the moon, going by the words of the clan leader; all geniuses who were able to breakthrough the legendary stage had a bright future ahead of them. They could very much become an elder in the clan at their peak.

The potential that Fang Yan has shown further cemented his will to stay by his side forever.

The door of the cultivation room opened before they got close, Fang Yan came out with a warm and amicable smile on his face, his fluttering white robe made him look like an immortal. A cloud of dust arose from the room behind him but his robe remained spotless, every step he took covered three feets making it impossible for the dust to reach him.

"Ha! Young master what happened? Did you catch a glimpse of the assassin's face?" Tong Ye asked hurriedly as he checked Fang Yan's body for any injury.

"I wonder who will be so bold to harm Young master in his own residence.

"Luckily Young living was powerful enough to repel the attack."

Fang Yan glanced at them with disdain hidden in his eyes. "What assassin? I just made a breakthrough into the legendary stage, so I decided to test my strength but unfortunately the ground collapsed, that was what brought about the tremor earlier."

They were shocked, the legendary stage, they've only heard of it but right now their Young master was saying that he was in that stage.

Shen Yong asked not fully convinced "Young master, are you seriously in the legendary stage?"

"Of course, I'm in the legendary stage, the clan leader gave me a precious technique that allowed me breakthrough the legendary stage." Fang Yan answered proudly.

Tong Ye glanced at Fang Yan scrutinizingly, he could feel that his aura had become much stronger; his previous dejection and gloominess disappeared, his zeal to follow Fang Yan reignited. He knew how precious of a technique it was if it could break the shackles of the Sixth stage. The technique was surely priceless and precious, the clan leader seems to have high hopes for Fang Yan.

Seeing their stupefied looks, Fang Yan nodded in satisfaction. The Boulder Collapsing Fist' was well deserving of its name, just a single punch had caused the ground to cave in.

"How many moves will take you to defeat Ye Mo?" Tong Ye asked.

Fang Yan snorted in disdain clearly not happy with the question.

"Are you dumb? Young master is in the legendary stage, how can you compare that trash with Young master, that trash would be defeated in three moves." Shen Yong shouted defending and flattering at the same time.

They both looked at Fang Yan, they took his silence for a yes. They were shocked especially Shen Yong, he was the most shocked of all; one had to remember that he was beaten senseless by Ye Mo the other day, he knew how pathetic he was in front of Ye Mo that day but their Young master said he could defeat Ye Mo in three moves.

They exchanged glance smiling bitterly, they had no chance with the legendary technique. Every clan would value that technique dearly and only give it to their core disciples.

"What is going on at the academy lately?"

" The teachers have been asking after you and we told them you were in seclusion."

"Good and about that trash?"

"He hasn't been in the academy for a few days now."

"Let's go to the academy, I will force out of his hiding place." Fang Yan said leaving for the academy. They got to the academy after fifteen minutes of walk, Fang Yan strutted to his classroom with a crowd in his back.

" Isn't that Young master Fang? I heard he was in seclusion."

"What do you know, Young master Fang was trying to break through the legendary stage."

"How can that be! The techniques has been long lost since the ancient times."

"A frog at the bottom of the well, Young master Fang doesn't need a technique to breakthrough, that's what we call a genius."

"Good day Teacher Chen." Fang Yan greeted when he got to the class.

"Oh! Fang Yan you are back. I learned that you've been training in seclusion all this while, any improvement?" Teacher Chen asked warmly carefully examining his student body.

"Ah! I was lucky enough to breakthrough the legendary stage in my seclusion." Fang Yan answered loudly while trying to act poise.

"What! He broke through the legendary stage?"

"I must be dreaming, someone should be slap me awake from my dreamland."

"Ouch.. it hurts do you want to kill me?"

"You said I should slap you awake and that I have done."

"Its real... Young master Fang broke through the legendary stage."

"What an exceptional genius, it was only in the legends but now am seeing a legendary stage cultivator in person, I've lived a fulfilled life."

"I knew Young master Fang was a dragon amongst men."

"Young master Fang, I love you.."

" Young master Fang, can I bear your children!"

"We love you Young master Fang."

The students chorused, the young girls were smitten by him, they were infatuated.

The noises were deafening, many students offered their congratulatory greetings.

Teacher Chen was shocked, that was the stage he had worked his ass off for but still couldn't reach. His gaze towards Fang Yan changed. " Good... Bravo... You are truly a promising genius and the pride of our academy." He showered him praises.

"I don't deserve that title Teacher Chen, there are still a lot of geniuses out there who are far stronger than me." Fang Yan hurriedly said hiding the glee in his face.

" Good. Good. Good.. exceptionally talented, good background, neither humble nor arrogant, your future accomplishment would surely be made known across the Continent." Teacher Chen nodded his head approvingly showering more praises on him.

More teachers soon became aware of the commotion and hurried over, when they learned of the news, they looked at Fang Yan as if he was a monster, they knew the significance of that legendary stage, they had strive hard for that breakthrough in the past but could only resign to fate after many unsuccessful attempts.

"Fang Yan, did you breakthrough with the help of a technique or by yourself?" A teacher asked all of a sudden.

Fang Yan cursed that noisy teacher in his mind but he answered." I broke through on my own, where would I get such a technique from?" Fang Yan asked as he shot a glance at the teacher that posed the question. His henchmen understandingly kept mute, they have to protect their Young master's pride.

The teachers nodded in understanding, such a technique would surely be rare, they are all shocked when they thought of what that implied; it meant that Fang Yan broke through without any external help, that means he was comparable to the genius from two decades ago, they decided to forge a better relationship with him now because by the time he had grown stronger they wouldn't be worthy of meeting him anymore.
