chapter 1-10 Eternal strongest system
Chapter 1
"Where is this … Am I dead …?"
An intense pain jolted Yang Xiao from his slumber. He opened his eyes with great difficulty. The unfamiliar environment before him reminded him of the scene before his death.
He was a graduate student at a prestigious university in the 21st century. That day, he was studying in the library as usual. But the library suddenly burst into flames, and he was buried in the sea of fire.
Could the environment in front of him be the world after death?
Boom!
Even as his thoughts drifted, a huge wave of memories exploded in his mind. The pain caused Yang Xiao to scream, and he sat up on the bed.
Then, Yang Xiao's eyes widened as he stared at his young and tender hands. He cried out involuntarily, "The Eternal Mainland? Elemental energy cultivation? I … transmigrated?! "
That's right, he had transmigrated. He had transmigrated into the body of a sixteen-year-old boy named Yang Xiao.
But this Yang Xiao's life experience was even more tragic.
He was a direct descendant of the Yang Family, one of the three great families of the Yunxiao Dynasty. On the day he was born, there was a phenomenon in the sky, indicating that he was extraordinary. Later on, he condensed a Heaven grade spiritual root, which amazed everyone.
Logically speaking, these achievements were enough to guarantee him a lifetime of glory.
But what was more melodramatic was that just three years ago, his spiritual root was stolen!
He had already lost his spiritual root, and a few days ago, he was seriously injured. So, this Yang Xiao died just like that.
"What a pitiful brother."
Yang Xiao sat on the bed and sighed, as if he felt sorry for Yang Xiao.
"But then again …"
Suddenly, the corner of Yang Xiao's mouth twitched. "This is a world where strength is respected and cultivation is the most important. This body of mine has no spiritual root, so I can't cultivate. It's like a lamb falling into a pack of wolves!"
Yang Xiao suddenly realized that his transmigration was a mistake. He might as well die!
Creak!
Just as Yang Xiao was cursing and swearing, the door to the room opened and a beautiful figure walked in.
"Bang!"
However, as soon as the beautiful figure entered, the bowl in her hand fell to the ground and the medicinal soup splattered all over the ground, emitting a clear and melodious sound.
Yang Xiao turned to look.
It was a girl around fifteen or sixteen years old. She wore a plain white dress, and her long black hair was tied up behind her back. Her shoulders were thin, and her waist was slender. Her fair face was inlaid with a pair of eyes that were like gems, clear and bright, moving one's soul.
"So beautiful!"
Yang Xiao's eyes lit up. He was stunned.
However, the girl couldn't stop crying, and her petite body was trembling. In the next moment, she directly rushed over and threw herself on Yang Xiao's body. She sobbed and said, "Brother Yang Xiao, you're finally awake. I thought I was going to lose you."
The girl's aura was like an orchid, making Yang Xiao feel very comfortable. However, when she moved in Yang Xiao's arms, she touched the wounds on Yang Xiao's body. It was so painful that Yang Xiao sucked in a breath of cold air. He hurriedly said in pain, "Xiao Chan, get off me. I still have wounds on my body."
The girl's name was Liu Ruochan. Normally, she was very close to Yang Xiao because she was Yang Xiao's child bride.
Back then, Yang Xiao was infinitely glorious. The Yang Family had prepared everything for him, including a child bride.
However, three years ago, after Yang Xiao's spiritual root was stolen, all his glory was gone. Only this child bride was still by his side.
After Liu Ruochan heard that, she quickly responded with an 'oh' and hurriedly got up. Then, she pouted and muttered, "Don't call me Little Chan, I'm not that little anymore."
After muttering, she exerted all her strength to stick out her chest.
Seeing that, Yang Xiao laughed in his heart. He thought that this little girl was quite interesting.
Suddenly, Liu Ruochan seemed to have thought of something. She hurriedly said, "Oh, I spilled the medicine. Brother Yang Xiao, wait for me. I'll go make another bowl for you."
However, before Liu Ruochan could turn around and leave the room, an arrogant voice came from outside the room.
"Yo, cousin, you're awake?"
As the voice rang out, a tall figure walked in.
A look of disgust immediately flashed across Xiao Chan's face.
Yang Xiao's expression turned cold as he asked in a low voice, "Cousin brother Yang Xingchen, what's the matter?"
The man's name was Yang Xingchen, and he was Yang Xiao's cousin. He was a Stage Four Martial Master with extraordinary strength.
In the Eternal Continent, the cultivation levels of Origin Energy were clearly divided. From low to high, they were Martial Warrior, Martial Master, Great Martial Master, Martial General, Martial King, Wu Huang, and so on. Each realm was divided into nine stages, and each stage was a layer of heaven.
Yang Xingchen was a Stage Four Martial Master, but because Yang Xiao did not have a Spirit Root, he would never be able to become a Martial Master, and could only stay in the realm of Stage Nine Martial Warriors.
Yang Xingchen first glanced greedily at Liu Ruochan, licked his lips lecherously, and then looked at Yang Xiao in the blink of an eye. With an arrogant expression and disdainful tone, he said, "Cousin Yang Xiao, it's already been five days. What have you thought about it? I have given you enough face. Hand over Little Sister Ruochan to me, and I will naturally give you the corresponding benefits. Don't refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit. "
Liu Ruochan had been a beauty since she was young. Over the years, as she grew older, she became more and more slender and elegant, which was why Yang Xingchen had his eyes on her.
Yang Xiao smiled, looked at Yang Xingchen, and asked: "Will you really give me the corresponding benefits? Not fake? "
Liu Ruochan, who was beside Yang Xiao, had a change in expression. She looked at Yang Xiao in fear, obviously worried that Yang Xiao would sell her out.
Yang Xingchen, on the other hand, was overjoyed, and hurriedly nodded: "Of course it counts. I, Yang Xingchen, have always been a man of my word!"
"Good!"
Yang Xiao clapped his hands. Under Yang Xingchen's surprised gaze, and Xiao Chan's disappointed gaze, he slowly said: "Then I want a hundred Heaven grade elixirs. Oh no, I want ten thousand Heaven grade elixirs. Give them to me."
After saying that, he even extended his right hand.
Yang Xingchen was stunned at first, then his expression turned into one of rage, and he shouted: "Are you messing with me?!"
Boom!
As soon as he finished speaking, a shocking pressure erupted from Yang Xingchen's body, like a huge mountain, and pressed down on Yang Xiao!
Yang Xiao had just recovered from his serious injuries, and even his words were weak. Therefore, he had no way to resist this pressure. Immediately, he felt a sweetness in his throat, and his vision gradually turned black …
"Am I going to die …"
Yang Xiao laughed bitterly. Well, he had already died once anyway, so it didn't matter if he died again.
It was just that Xiao Chan, this little girl, had suffered …
However, at this moment, a crisp sound rang in Yang Xiao's mind without warning!
"Ding!"
"Successfully activated the Strongest System of Eternity, received one Activation Gift Pack!"
Along with the sound, a cool feeling arose in his mind. In an instant, Yang Xiao's black vision gradually regained clarity!
Yang Xiao's eyes widened.
Because, at this moment, in front of him, there was a list that only he could see, that looked like a "Attributes Panel".
Name: Yang Xiao.
Gender: Male.
Age: 16.
Battle Power: 9.
Cultivation Technique: None.
Items: Activation Gift Pack.
Capture Page: Not Opened.
Shop Page: Not Opened.
…
Yang Xiao was extremely surprised. He looked up at Yang Xingchen opposite him, and found that above Yang Xingchen's head, there were two numbers floating.
42.
Yang Xingchen's battle power was 42!
"This Strongest System of Eternity, is it similar to the support plugins in games?"
Yang Xiao immediately understood, and his face was suddenly filled with joy. He said directly in his heart, "How do I use the Activation Gift Pack? I want to use the Activation Gift Pack! "
Yang Xiao had played many games. Generally, in order to attract players, the activation gift packs at the beginning of the game were all good stuff!
PS: In the author's understanding, battle power is a very comprehensive thing. It not only includes speed, strength, patience, and other physical attributes, but also includes perception, willpower, and other non-physical attributes.
Also, battle power is not fixed. For example, when a martial artist uses battle skills, his battle power will increase, etc. These will be shown in the subsequent articles.
Chapter 2
"Ding! Do you want to open the Big Activation Package? "The crisp voice rang in Yang Xiao's mind again.
"Open it!" Yang Xiao did not hesitate at all.
"Ding!"
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining five Lesser Combat Pills!"
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining five Lesser Healing Pills!"
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining one Elementary Deity Capture Chance!"
"Congratulations to the host for obtaining one Elementary Store Lottery Chance!"
A string of crisp voices echoed in Yang Xiao's mind.
Yang Xiao was overjoyed. The Strongest System in Eternity was equivalent to this world's cheat code!
Yang Xingchen looked at Yang Xiao's changing expression and thought to himself, "Is this trash scared silly?"
"Since you're stupid, then go to hell. Let me send you on your way."
Yang Xingchen's expression suddenly turned cold. His five fingers bent into claws. Suddenly, green energy condensed at the tips of his five fingers. An aura as sharp as an eagle's claw was emitted.
"What are you trying to do?"
Liu Ruochan saw this and her expression changed. She hurriedly stood in front of Yang Xiao.
"Don't worry. After I kill this trash, I will definitely pamper you."
Yang Xingchen licked his lips and looked at Liu Ruochan greedily. He immediately gathered his aura and was ready to attack!
However, at this moment, Yang Xiao, who was behind Liu Ruochan, suddenly flipped his right hand, and six sparkling and translucent elixirs appeared in his palm. Under Yang Xingchen's bewildered gaze, Yang Xiao swallowed all six elixirs in one go.
A strange blush appeared on Yang Xiao's face at first, followed by a wave of pain. In the end, it was replaced by a comfortable and carefree expression.
Above his head, wisps of green smoke began to emit.
"Hmph, deceitful thing!"
Yang Xingchen snorted angrily. He took a step forward with his right leg and instantly appeared in front of Yang Xiao like a ghost. He shouted, "Go to hell!"
His expression was sinister as he shouted. His five sharp fingers descended on Yang Xiao's head!
Even Stage Three Martial Master might not be able to withstand the power of this attack!
"Brother Yang Xiao!"
Liu Ruochan cried out in alarm. Tears flowed from her eyes. She was obviously anxious.
She hated, not only Yang Xingchen, but also herself. She hated herself for not being able to protect Brother Yang Xiao!
However, at this critical moment ….
Yang Xiao suddenly stretched out his left hand and easily caught Yang Xingchen's claw!
Yang Xingchen's pupils constricted!
Without waiting for him to react, Yang Xiao grinned, revealing two rows of white teeth. He immediately stood up, and with a speed that Yang Xing Chen could not react to, he suddenly extended his right hand and pressed it on Yang Xing Chen's face.
Then, a shocking scene took place …
Boom!
Yang Xiao directly pressed down on Yang Xingchen's head and smashed it onto the ground. This was not the end. He was still pressing down on Yang Xingchen's head and rubbing it crazily on the ground!
What a brutal scene!
Liu Ruochan, who was at the side, covered her mouth with her hands. Her beautiful eyes widened as she watched this scene in disbelief.
Brother Yang Xiao was actually beating up Yang Xingchen?
Could it be that I'm dreaming?
At this time, Yang Xiao had already retracted his hand and stood up straight.
At Yang Xiao's feet, Yang Xingchen was lying on the ground. He was barely breathing and his face was covered in blood. He was in a sorry state and a large piece of hair had fallen off his head. This was all caused by the friction with the ground.
However, he had not fainted yet. Instead, he opened his mouth with great difficulty and cursed, "Yang Xiao, you actually …"
However, before he could finish his words, Yang Xiao kicked him in the head. With a "bang" sound, Yang Xingchen fainted from the kick.
"Ding!" "Congratulations to host for defeating a Stage Four Martial Master and obtaining 1 point of fighting strength. Current fighting strength is 60."
That clear voice once again echoed in Yang Xiao's mind.
"You can gain fighting strength by defeating the enemy?!"
Yang Xiao was pleasantly surprised.
The six elixirs that Yang Xiao had consumed earlier were five Lesser Combat Elixirs and one Lesser Healing Elixir.
The Small Healing Pill, as the name implied, would instantly and completely recover the injuries on Yang Xiao's body.
And the Small Combat Strength Pill was a type of pill that increased one's fighting strength. Each Small Combat Strength Pill could increase the host's fighting strength by 10 points.
Yang Xiao's fighting strength was originally 9. After taking five Small Combat Strength Pills, his fighting strength soared to 59, which was why he could easily defeat Yang Xingchen, whose fighting strength was only 42.
And now, he had defeated Yang Xingchen and had actually obtained 1 point of fighting strength!
This strongest system in the ancient times was a little invincible!
Yang Xiao looked at Xiao Chan in the blink of an eye. Xiao Chan had not recovered from the shock, but Yang Xiao did not care about this. Instead, he noticed the number above Xiao Chan's head: 24.
Yang Xiao immediately fell into deep thought.
Xiao Chan's talent was not bad. Although she was young, her strength had already reached Stage Two Martial Master, and her fighting strength was 24.
As for Yang Xingchen, he was a Stage Four Martial Master with a fighting strength of 42.
Yang Xiao immediately understood that fighting strength and the realms on the Eternal Continent corresponded to one another!
His current fighting strength was 60, which was equivalent to the Stage Six Martial Master of the Eternal Continent!
"Haha!"
Yang Xiao laughed, very happily.
Even amongst the younger generation of the Yang Family, Stage Six Martial Master could be considered to be in the upper echelons!
"Bro, go in peace. I will return all the bullying and unwillingness you have suffered for the past three years."
Yang Xiao patted his chest and muttered softly.
As soon as he said this, Yang Xiao felt his body suddenly become much more relaxed.
When Xiao Chan saw Yang Xiao muttering to himself, she thought that something had happened to Yang Xiao. She anxiously walked forward and shook Yang Xiao's arm, asking with concern: "Big Brother Yang Xiao, are you alright?"
"I'm fine."
Yang Xiao came back to his senses and gently shook his head. He then gently caressed Liu Ruochan's long hair and said softly: "Xiao Chan, in the future, I won't let anyone bully you again."
Although his voice was soft and his words were short, they were powerful and firm like a mountain.
Liu Ruochan obviously did not expect Yang Xiao to suddenly say such words. Her face was startled at first, but soon after, it turned red. She lowered her head, embarrassed and at a loss for what to do.
Her eyes flickered with spring light, and she used a voice that only she could hear to mutter softly: "Big Brother Yang Xiao seems to be different from before."
The previous Yang Xiao was decadent, pessimistic, and timid.
Although the current Yang Xiao's body was slightly thin, he could invisibly give people a sense of security.
This was a sublimation and transformation of his temperament!
"It's time to deal with this guy."
After that, Yang Xiao lowered his eyes and looked at Yang Xingchen who was lying unconscious on the ground. His eyes gradually turned cold, and it was obvious that he had the intention to kill.
In the Eternal Continent, strength reigned supreme. If one wanted to achieve great things, he had to be ruthless and decisive. Being wishy-washy and indecisive would not work here.
However, just as Yang Xiao was about to kill Yang Xingchen …
"Xiao 'er, are you alright?"
A slightly hoarse middle-aged voice suddenly sounded from outside the door. Immediately after, a pale and sickly looking middle-aged man walked in quickly. His eyebrows were somewhat similar to Yang Xiao's.
Chapter 3
The middle-aged man was Yang Xiao's father, the sixth master of the Yang Family, Yang Lieyan.
The Yang Family was one of the three famous families of the Yunxiao Dynasty. The current head of the Yang Family was Yang Xiao's grandfather, who was also Yang Lieyan's father, Yang Zhenhuang.
Yang Zhenhuang had a total of seven children. Yang Lieyan was ranked sixth, so he was the sixth master.
Yang Lieyan walked into the room and looked at the lively Yang Xiao. He was a little surprised, then looked at the unconscious Yang Xiao lying on the ground. His face lit up with joy. In a flash, he appeared in front of Yang Xiao and held onto Yang Xiao's wrist.
A gush of blazing energy burst out from Yang Lieyan's fingertips and rushed into Yang Xiao's body, heading straight for his Dantian.
But in the next moment, the joy on Yang Lieyan's face turned into unconcealable disappointment.
Because he did not sense the existence of any Spirit Roots from Yang Xiao's Dantian!
Spirit Roots were the foundation of a Martial Cultivator's cultivation. Only Spirit Roots could communicate with the Yuan Energy of Heaven and Earth, and promote a Martial Cultivator to a higher realm.
When Yang Lieyan saw Yang Xiao defeat Yang Xingchen, he thought that Yang Xiao had condensed a Spirit Root and his strength had recovered to its previous level, so he was pleasantly surprised. But, Yang Xiao's Dantian was empty, there was no trace of the existence of a Spirit Root!
But, although Yang Lieyan was disappointed, he was more confused and curious. How did Xiao 'er, who did not have a Spirit Root, defeat Yang Xingchen?
"Father, I'm fine."
Yang Xiao shook his head lightly and said. Although it was a little awkward to call Yang Lieyan father, he had inherited the memories and emotions of this body, so calling him father was understandable.
"Xiao 'er, what happened?"
Subsequently, Yang Lieyan frowned and asked with a sullen face.
Ever since Yang Xiao lost his Spiritual Root, he had been telling Yang Xiao not to cause trouble, lest he hurt himself.
Yang Xiao knew that Yang Lieyan was very strict. He also knew that Yang Lieyan was very concerned about the original owner of this body. Therefore, he told him everything that had happened.
"Hmph, you're going too far!"
After hearing this, Yang Lieyan snorted angrily and said angrily, "Fifth Brother's son really has no manners. Sigh, forget it. I'm disappointed in the current Yang Family. Let's move out in a few days … cough cough cough! "
However, before Yang Lieyan could finish his words, his face flushed and he coughed violently!
Yang Xiao's sharp eyes noticed that Yang Lieyan was coughing up blood and his face was getting paler.
Yang Xiao sighed silently.
This was because the chronic illness in Yang Lieyan's body was caused by the original owner of this body.
Three years ago, the original owner of the Spiritual Root was stolen. Yang Lieyan was furious and chased the enemy for eight hundred miles. In the end, he fell into an ambush and was seriously injured by the enemy. This led to his chronic illness.
"Father, take this elixir and try it."
Seeing that Yang Lieyan's body was hunched because of coughing, Yang Xiao felt a little heartache. He flipped his right hand and took out a Small Healing Elixir and passed it to Yang Lieyan.
Yang Lieyan looked at the crystal clear elixir and realized that he actually did not know what kind of elixir it was. He immediately frowned and thought to himself, "Where did Xiao 'er get this elixir?"
However, he believed that his son would not harm him. He forced a smile, grabbed the crystal clear elixir and swallowed it.
Yang Lieyan did not have any hope for this elixir. After all, how good could an elixir taken out by a child be?
However, the moment he swallowed the elixir, his face suddenly froze.
This was because when the elixir entered his stomach, it turned into a wave of endless coolness. It suddenly spread out and surged into the meridians of his body!
"Puchi!"
Yang Lieyan's breathing became rapid and he finally spat out a mouthful of black blood. The black blood landed on the ground and actually corroded the hard marble floor, forming a pit!
Yang Lieyan's expression became extremely incredulous at this moment!
In the past, he was ambushed and all the meridians in his limbs were enveloped by a strange poison. It was unbearable.
In these three years, he would take a large number of elixirs every day and spend a lot of time to circulate his energy to expel this poison.
However, the total amount of poison he expelled in half a year was not as much as what he expelled in one go!
Shocking!
And when Yang Xiao saw Yang Lieyan's surprised and happy expression, he knew that his elixir was effective. He smiled slightly and took out all the remaining Small Healing Elixirs.
"Father, I still have three of these elixirs here. I'll give them all to you," Yang Xiao said.
Yang Lieyan's eyes widened and he looked at Yang Xiao as if he had seen a ghost.
Liu Ruochan, who was at the side, could not help but snigger. This was the first time she saw Master Liu's expression change so much.
…
Yang Lieyan left and took Yang Xingchen with him.
Yang Xiao sat on the bed and sighed. He originally wanted to completely get rid of Yang Xingchen but now he left this disaster behind.
However, Yang Xiao was not afraid. With his current combat ability, it would not be a problem for him to hang up and beat up ten Yang Xingchen. What was there to be afraid of?
After that, Yang Xiao began to study the strongest system in the ancient times.
Name: Yang Xiao
Age: 16
Gender: Male
Cultivation Method: None.
Capture Page: Opened
Shop Page: Opened
…
"What is this capture page?"
Yang Xiao was puzzled and opened the capture page.
There were a few categories: Celestial Capture, Weapon Capture, Sci-Fi Capture, etc.
"I think I have a chance to capture a beginner level celestial."
With curiosity, Yang Xiao opened the Celestial Capture page.
Swoosh!
At that moment, all kinds of characters appeared.
Yang Xiao's eyes lit up!
"This is … a celestial?!"
His expression became extremely incredulous. That's right, these characters in front of him: Erlang Shen, Nezha, Sun Wukong, Daji … all of them were celestial!
The strongest system in the ancient times could capture celestial beings to fight for it!
"Invincible!"
Yang Xiao exclaimed. It could even capture celestial beings. The strongest system in the ancient times was invincible!
After that, he opened the Weapon Capture page. There were mortars, tanks, grenades, and even nuclear bombs!
The more Yang Xiao looked, the happier he was. The strongest system in the ancient times was really heaven-defying. As long as the system was in his hands, the world was in his hands!
Yang Xiao began to study the shop page again.
As the name suggested, the shop page sold all kinds of treasures, including the Small Combat Strength Pill and Small Healing Pill that Yang Xiao had consumed before.
Yang Xiao was more interested in one of the items on sale — the Medium Healing Pill.
That was because one Medium Healing Pill could completely cure his father, Yang Lieyan's disease!
However, the price of this Medium Healing Pill was 10,000 Shop Coins, and Yang Xiao had 0 Shop Coins.
"System, how can I obtain Shop Coins?"
Yang Xiao tried to communicate with the system.
"Ding!"
"Method of obtaining Shop Coins: All valuable items in the ancient world can be exchanged for Shop Coins."
A crisp voice rang in Yang Xiao's mind. It was emotionless as if it was reading from a textbook.
Chapter 4
All the valuable items?
The first thing that came to Yang Xiao's mind was the Eternal Continent's cultivation methods, combat techniques, spiritual weapons, and elixirs.
In the Eternal Continent, strength reigned supreme. Cultivation methods, combat techniques, spiritual weapons, and elixirs were closely related to a cultivator's cultivation. Of course, they were the most valuable items in the Eternal Continent!
Yang Xiao fell into deep thought again.
He was too weak now. Anyone who jumped out from the outside could kill him.
Therefore, improving his strength as soon as possible was the best solution.
Moreover, Yang Xiao also knew the principle of making a fortune in silence. Before he had absolute strength, it was best not to expose himself.
Therefore, Yang Xiao narrowed his eyes and made a decision.
To the Yang Family's library!
…
The Yang Family's library was one of the most precious treasures of the Yang Family. The reason was that the library contained all the books and records of the Yang Family!
The library had a total of six floors, towering into the clouds. Standing in front of it, Yang Xiao and Liu Ruochan were as small as two ants.
It was bustling with people coming and going.
Liu Ruochan was a little afraid of the crowded environment. She hugged Yang Xiao's arm tightly like a cute kitten leaving home for the first time.
She could not figure out why Big Brother Yang Xiao would come here.
In the past, Yang Xiao rarely went out. He was very decadent. Therefore, Xiao Chan found it difficult to adapt to the current Yang Xiao.
His personality changed?
"Let's go in and have a look."
Yang Xiao gently stroked Liu Ruochan's long hair. Then, he led the reluctant Liu Ruochan into the library.
At the entrance of the library sat an old man in his sixties. Although he had a head full of white hair, he was hale and hearty. When he saw Yang Xiao walk in, he asked directly, "Do you have a library pass?"
Yang Xiao smiled and pointed at himself. "Grandpa Li, do I need a pass?"
"Hmm?"
The old man was startled. Soon after, his eyes widened as he spoke in disbelief, "You … Xiao 'er?"
This old man's name was Li Hu, and he was a Consecrated Elder of the Yang Family. Back when Yang Xiao had condensed a Heaven Grade Spirit Root, he was extremely fond of him and sided with Yang Xiao in everything. He had a very close relationship with Yang Xiao.
However, because of the incident three years ago, Yang Xiao no longer came to the Compendium Pavilion. Thus, he became much more distant from the old man.
Li Hu looked at Yang Xiao's pale and sickly face and couldn't help but sigh in her heart. She asked with a pained expression, "Xiao 'er, why are you here?"
He knew that Yang Xiao did not have spiritual roots, so the cultivation methods and battle skills recorded in the library were useless to him, so he might as well not come.
Yang Xiao replied, "I came here for two reasons. Firstly, I came to visit you. Secondly, I came to read."
When Li Hu heard this, he felt a faint pain in his heart. He thought to himself, "You don't even have a Spiritual Root. Why are you still reading?
What a stubborn little fellow that made one's heart ache ….
However, Li Hu did not hurt Yang Xiao's pride. Instead, he smiled kindly and nodded. "Alright, go ahead. However, you are only allowed to enter the first two floors."
"I know. Don't worry, Grandpa Li."
Yang Xiao nodded and led Liu Ruochan into the Compendium Pavilion.
When Yang Xiao was far away, Li Hu let out a deep sigh and looked extremely regretful.
Three years ago, Yang Xiao's talent was extraordinary. The Yang Family had given him great authority and allowed him to enter the first five floors of the Compendium Pavilion.
But now, Yang Xiao had become the most useless direct descendant of the Yang Family. The Yang Family had stipulated that he could only enter the first two floors of the Compendium Pavilion at most.
The difference between before and after was like the difference between heaven and earth!
…
On the first floor of the Compendium Pavilion.
Yang Xiao picked up a bamboo scroll and slowly opened it. He silently recited, "Yellow Flame Fist, Primary Yellow-Rank Combat Skill. When using this skill, the surface of the fist will be wrapped in a layer of yellow flame. It is extremely lethal."
Then, he asked in his heart, "System, can this combat skill be exchanged for Mall Coins?"
However, just as Yang Xiao finished his question, the bamboo scroll in his hand suddenly disappeared with a swoosh!
"Ah?"
Yang Xiao's expression froze. His mouth was agape as he suddenly froze on the spot.
Why did it disappear?
What happened?
However, before Yang Xiao could regain his senses, he saw that the number of Mall Coins on the Mall page had changed from 0 to 1.
Yang Xiao suddenly understood and was overjoyed. "The combat skills here can really be exchanged for Mall Coins!"
According to the exchange rate just now, one Primary Yellow-Rank Combat Skill could be exchanged for one Mall Coin. There were at least three thousand Primary Yellow-Rank Combat Skills in the Compendium Pavilion. In other words, it could be exchanged for three thousand Mall Coins!
I'm rich!
However, Yang Xiao was a cautious person. While he was pleasantly surprised, he was also a little worried. The system had swallowed the entire book. Its methods were too ruthless. If it was discovered by others, then it would definitely cause unnecessary trouble …
As if sensing Yang Xiao's worry, when Yang Xiao flipped through another bamboo scroll, the system did not swallow the entire bamboo scroll. Instead, it absorbed the words on the bamboo scroll one by one!
In a few breaths of time, the bamboo scroll that was originally filled with words became a bamboo scroll without words. It was empty.
"Good method! The system knows my heart! "
Yang Xiao's eyes lit up. He immediately stopped procrastinating and began to flip through and absorb the bamboo scrolls one by one.
Yang Xiao flipped through the bamboo scrolls at an extremely fast speed. Basically, in three to four breaths of time, he was able to "absorb" one and turn it into a bamboo scroll without words.
Very quickly, Yang Xiao flipped through more than a hundred bamboo scrolls. At the same time, he also obtained more than 150 Mall Coins.
100 Mall Coins could be exchanged for a Small Battle Strength Pill, which could raise his fighting strength to 70, which was the same as a Stage Seven Martial Master!
"Come, Xiao Chan, let's go up to the second floor."
However, Yang Xiao did not stay on the first floor, because there were only these books on the first floor. If he were to "swallow" too many, he would definitely be discovered by others, which would bring about unnecessary trouble.
It was not that Yang Xiao was careful, but the lesson from three years ago no longer allowed him to be arrogant and brash.
Three years ago, the original owner was extremely glorious. The entire Yunxiao Dynasty knew that the Yang Family had produced a Heaven Grade Spirit Root, causing others to be envious.
However, human nature was terrifying. A deeper level of envy was jealousy.
Even now, Yang Xiao did not know what kind of person had attacked the original owner three years ago, but one thing was certain, that person was not someone that the Yang Family could contend against!
Furthermore, there was one thing that was certain, and that was that three years ago, a traitor had definitely appeared in the Yang Family!
If it wasn't for this traitor acting as a spy, then that person back then wouldn't have been able to take away Yang Xiao's Spirit Root so easily.
In short, making a fortune in silence was the hard truth. Before one had absolute strength, being too complacent and arrogant was no different from courting death!
Yang Xiao brought Xiao Chan to the second floor.
However, just as Yang Xiao took his first step into the second floor, he felt a mocking gaze directed at him.
Yang Xiao turned his head to look as if he had sensed something.
However, when he saw the other party's face, he grinned. His white teeth reflected a cold light.
Chapter 5
When Yang Xiao first stepped into the Book Collection Pavilion, Yang Zihao had sensed Yang Xiao's existence.
Although he was on the second floor, he had been paying attention to Yang Xiao the entire time. Thus, he saw that no matter what cultivation technique Yang Xiao obtained, he would only casually flip through it and then put it down.
He was not learning a cultivation technique at all!
This caused Yang Zihao to despise Yang Xiao even more. What was a trash without Spirit Root doing in the Book Collection Pavilion? How embarrassing!
However, Yang Zihao was a little curious. How did the injuries on Yang Xiao's body heal so quickly? Logically speaking, shouldn't he be lying on the bed with injuries all over his body?
Just as Yang Xiao walked up to the second floor, Yang Zihao cast his ridiculing, disdainful, and mocking gaze over.
He knew that Yang Xiao was cowardly and cowardly. In the past, Yang Xiao did not even dare to look him in the eye, and he liked the feeling of stepping on Yang Xiao's head!
So what if he was a genius? So what if he shocked the entire Yunxiao Dynasty?
Isn't he still being trampled under my feet!
However, he had never thought that today, not only would Yang Xiao look him in the eye, he would even reveal such a sinister smile!
Yang Zihao felt his soul tremble!
"Hmph, he's just trash. Why should I be afraid of him?"
But soon after, Yang Zihao mustered up his courage and looked at Yang Xiao with a smile, saying: "Hehe, cousin brother Yang Xiao, I haven't seen you come to the Book Collection Pavilion in three years, I really miss it."
Yang Zihao, the son of the Yang Family's Third Master, had long since reached the level of Stage Six Martial Master. Amongst the younger generation of the Yang Family, he could be considered to be above average, and was not weak at all.
However, after Yang Xiao heard this, he did not reply. Instead, he slowly retracted his gaze, and then, holding Liu Ruochan's small hand, he walked towards a bookshelf not far away.
He completely ignored Yang Zihao!
Yang Zihao's eyelids twitched violently.
This damned trash was really giving him face!
And the reason why Yang Xiao's attitude towards Yang Zihao was so "nasty" was because the person who had seriously injured the original owner of the body and caused her death was none other than Yang Zihao's instigation!
Of course, Yang Zihao didn't attack directly. The ones who attacked were the two servants standing behind Yang Zihao!
These two servants had both reached the realm of Stage One Martial Master, and their fighting strength was over a hundred, which was not something the current Yang Xiao could compare to.
Because of this, Yang Xiao simply ignored Yang Zihao. In his eyes, Yang Zihao was just a clown. How could he let him do that? Well, he could still jump? A few days?
Yang Xiao began to flip through the bamboo slips one by one.
"Great Breathing Technique, Middle Yellow Rank Cultivation Technique. Absorbs Heaven and Earth Origin Energy and circulates it in the body in a regular cycle. Cultivating it all year round can prolong one's lifespan and maintain one's youth forever."
The cultivation techniques and battle skills on the second level were obviously of a higher level than those on the first level. The lowest level was also Middle Yellow Rank and could be exchanged for two to three Shopping Center coins.
In other words, two to three minutes later …
The number of Yang Xiao's Shopping Center coins had increased from 153 to 201.
Without any hesitation, Yang Xiao spent 200 Shopping Center coins to buy two Small Battle Power Pills and consumed them.
"Ding!" "Congratulations to host for obtaining 20 Fighting Power, your current Fighting Power is 80."
The system's clear voice sounded in Yang Xiao's mind.
Fighting Power 80, equivalent to Stage Eight Martial Master!
Yang Xiao stretched his muscles and bones, his entire body releasing a series of crackling sounds, an explosive aura was emitted.
"Huh?"
Liu Ruochan, who was beside him, blinked her beautiful eyes and looked at Yang Xiao curiously.
Because in that instant, she felt that Yang Xiao had suddenly become much stronger!
"Could it be my imagination?"
Liu Ruochan retracted her gaze and thought to herself.
Big Brother Yang Xiao didn't have a Spirit Root, so he couldn't cultivate. How could he become stronger?
However, just as Liu Ruochan was deep in thought, Yang Xiao suddenly grabbed her soft little hand and pulled it behind him.
It was also because Yang Xiao had pulled it in time, otherwise, Liu Ruochan's cheek would have been touched by a wide palm.
Yang Zihao's hand!
Yang Xiao frowned, he stared at Yang Zihao, and said with an extremely gloomy voice: "What are you doing?!"
However, Yang Zihao remained calm and said with a smile: "Little sister Ruo Chan is naturally beautiful …"
"I'm asking you, what the f * ck were you trying to do just now?!"
Yang Xiao roared and interrupted Yang Zihao. He suddenly took a step forward and an invisible aura exploded out!
Qi like a rainbow!
Yang Zihao immediately shut his mouth and swallowed a mouthful of saliva. He could not help but take half a step back. It was obvious that he was frightened by Yang Xiao's furious aura!
But right at this moment, two figures appeared in a flash, blocking in front of Yang Zihao. Then, their bodies trembled, releasing the powerful aura that only a Great Martial Master could possess, pressing down on Yang Xiao like two huge mountains!
The aura of the two Great Martial Masters could probably force Yang Xiao to his knees!
However, it was also at this moment that an old voice suddenly rang out: "Fighting is prohibited in the library. Have you forgotten the rules of the Yang Family?"
The moment the voice rang out, Yang Xiao felt an extremely gentle force rushing over like a wave, blocking the top of his head. Then, in an extremely easy and ingenious way, it instantly erased the aura released by the two Great Martial Masters.
Effortlessly!
The pupils of the two Great Martial Masters shrank, they suddenly turned their heads and stared nervously in the direction of the entrance of the second floor of the library.
There stood a hale and hearty white-haired old man, it was Li Hu!
"Fighting is prohibited in the library. Alright, today's matter will end here, all of you may leave."
Li Hu waved his sleeves, his tone contained an irresistible force!
He did this mainly to protect Yang Xiao. After all, Yang Xiao was a cripple, Yang Xiao's father, Yang Lieyan, was also half a cripple. If this matter continued to blow up, the ones who would suffer in the end would definitely be Yang Xiao and his son.
When the two Great Martial Masters heard this, they heaved a sigh of relief. Luckily, Li Hu did not pursue the matter, otherwise they would be in big trouble.
However, at the moment when the two of them relaxed …
"This is the moment!"
Yang Xiao suddenly roared, his body suddenly took a step forward, and a punch landed on Yang Zihao's face!
"Boom!"
Under everyone's wide-opened eyes, Yang Zihao's body was directly blasted away!
Yang Zihao's body smashed into the wall with a loud "boom", creating a pit in the wall, and countless cracks spread out.
Yang Xiao's body was like lightning, following closely behind, and with a side kick, he stomped on Yang Zihao's lower abdomen!
This scene looked very violent!
"Wa!"
Yang Zihao's body instantly arched like a lobster, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. His eyeballs looked like they were about to pop out!
"Since I am not allowed to fight in the library, then get out!"
Yang Xiao roared in his heart, the veins all over his body popping out. Immediately after, under everyone's incredulous gaze, the hard wall behind Yang Zihao exploded with a loud bang, and a big hole appeared!
Accompanied by the flying gravel, Yang Xiao kicked Yang Zihao, and flew out of the library.
What a cruel scene!
They thought it was over just like that? Wrong!
Something even more cruel was yet to come!
Chapter 6
The Yang Family's Book Collection Pavilion was one of the most sacred places in the Yang Family.
It was a warm day, and the wind was gentle.
The warm sunlight shone down, illuminating the bustling and bustling scene outside the Book Collection Pavilion.
"You guys don't know, but the Sixth Elder slept with his daughter-in-law again. He was caught in the act last night."
"Our Yang Family's competition is about to begin. I wonder who will be the champion this time."
"I heard that there's a new top courtesan in the Imperial City's Yi Hong Lou. I don't know what she looks like, but I'm sure she's beautiful."
The crowd was bustling with discussion.
Everything appeared to be peaceful.
However, under this auspicious and peaceful atmosphere …
"Boom!"
A loud sound exploded above everyone's head without warning!
Many people were startled and hurriedly looked up.
However, in the next moment, everyone was dumbfounded!
Because the second floor suddenly exploded, revealing a large hole!
"Look, someone is flying out!"
Someone in the crowd shouted.
Everyone looked over, and their pupils constricted. That's right, there were two figures flying out from the second floor of the Book Collection Pavilion. To be precise, one person was kicking the other out!
Someone was causing trouble in the Book Collection Pavilion!
The crowd was shocked.
Who was so daring to cause trouble in a sacred place like the Book Collection Pavilion?
Seeking death!
However, what shocked them even more was yet to come.
The one who hit was a young man in a green shirt, and the one who was hit was a young man in luxurious clothes. After the young man kicked the latter out, he did not stop. Instead, he twisted his body in an exaggerated arc, moved to the front of the latter, and punched him in the face.
"Boom! Boom! "
Hence, such a scene played out. The young man in a green shirt punched the latter's face one after another. Moreover, because the two were in mid-air, the young man in a green shirt seemed to be "riding" the latter's body. As he descended, he punched at the same time!
What a brutal scene!
"Ahhh!"
Sharp and mournful screams, one after another, reverberated in the sky.
"Why do I find this voice so familiar? I think it's Yang Zihao, right? "
"It's not just like, it's Yang Zihao!"
"F * ck, someone actually dares to hit Yang Zihao? Could it be the number one genius of our Yang Family? "
"…"
The crowd burst into a commotion.
Meanwhile, when the two of them were only a few dozen centimeters away from the ground, the young man in green suddenly clenched his fists together, raised them above his head, and then smashed them down towards Yang Zihao's head!
If this attack landed, then even if Yang Zihao did not die, he would be seriously injured!
However, at this moment, a wave of fragrance suddenly assaulted his nostrils. In the next moment, a soft and fair hand suddenly appeared and blocked Yang Zihao's head.
Yang Xiao's hands smashed down at the same time, landing on the white palm with the power of a ferocious tiger!
However, in the next moment, Yang Xiao frowned.
Because he felt as if his strength had struck a piece of infinitely soft sponge, and it actually disappeared in an instant!
"Xiaoxiao, you're not being good. You're fighting in public. Big Sister will punish you."
A gentle and charming voice that seemed to carry a strand of fresh fragrance entered Yang Xiao's ears. This voice was extremely soft, and it caused Yang Xiao to feel as if his bones had softened!
One could recognize a woman just by smelling her fragrance, and one could recognize a woman just by hearing her voice. Therefore, Yang Xiao knew it was definitely a beauty, a beauty that could bring calamity!
Swoosh!
Right at this moment, a fair finger suddenly appeared in front of the center of Yang Xiao's brows, and it swiftly pierced towards him.
Yang Xiao was shocked, and he retreated explosively!
Even though Yang Xiao's speed was swift, the fair finger was even swifter. Before Yang Xiao could react, it had lightly flicked the center of his brows.
Yang Xiao retreated a few meters, and his body arched as he gazed ahead as if he was facing a formidable enemy.
In front of him, Yang Zihao had already fainted, and a foul stench was emitted. It turned out that he had directly peed his pants!
Incontinence!
And at this moment, a woman was standing beside Yang Zihao.
This woman had obviously gone through a period of extensive makeup. She wore a light pink embroidered cheongsam, and she looked like a peach blossom that had bloomed in the winter, tender and alluring.
Her hair was tied into a bun, and the bun was adorned with rose-purple palace flowers, which further contrasted with her creamy skin. At this moment, she was looking at Yang Xiao with a gentle gaze, and a charming expression. The dimples at the corner of her mouth were faintly discernible, and it was as if even the air would freeze along with her smile.
What a beautiful and charming woman!
Yang Xiao could not help but be stunned. He did not expect that there would actually be such a beauty in this world. This kind of beauty, even if placed on Earth, could be considered to be extremely top-notch!
"Xiaoxiao, why are you looking at me like that? Could it be that you have fallen in love with me? "
At this moment, the woman smiled warmly, and before her voice had even faded, she had already stealthily appeared in front of Yang Xiao. She stretched out her hand to touch Yang Xiao's slightly pale face, and resentfully said, "This fellow, you really hid your strength very well. These past few years, even I was actually deceived by you. Hmph, I don't care, you hid it from me, so you have to compensate me. You have to kiss me."
"Oh, where is the right place to kiss? Okay, kiss here."
As she spoke, the woman pointed at her bright red lips, which were like raging flames.
Yang Xiao was a little dazed.
His memory told him that this woman was the only daughter of the second master of the Yang Family, and also a great genius of the younger generation of the Yang Family. Her name was very pleasing to the ear, and it was two words: Yang Xin.
Of course, everyone knew that Yang Xin was adopted, and she did not have any blood relations with the Yang Family, because the second master of the Yang Family ….. was unable to bear children from a young age.
At this moment, Yang Xin was pinching Yang Xiao's cheeks, and she was still talking to herself, "I don't care, you have to kiss me for a minute. Even a second less, I will not be happy, and I will have a little mood."
Yang Xiao smiled slightly bitterly, thinking that this great beauty was a complete drama queen.
"Big Brother Yang Xiao, are you alright?"
Suddenly, Liu Ruochan's concerned voice came from behind.
However, before Yang Xiao could reply, Yang Xin smiled and said, "Little Sister Ruochan, your good big brother is really amazing. Anything can happen to anyone, except him."
"Big Sister Sister Yang Xin?"
Liu Ruochan stopped in her tracks, and when she saw Yang Xin's beautiful and familiar face, she couldn't help but feel happy. She jogged over and asked, "Sister Yang Xin, I haven't seen you for a long time. Where have you been?"
Yang Xin held Liu Ruochan's hand and smiled gently. "I just took care of some miscellaneous matters. Little Sister Ruochan, don't worry. I said that I will be sisters with you, and I will not go back on my words. Not only are we sisters now, but we will also be sisters in the future. "
As she spoke, Yang Xin took a deep look at Yang Xiao, who was beside her.
Liu Ruochan was puzzled. We are already sisters, so why do we have to use the word 'become'?
However, Liu Ruochan didn't think too much about it, because she was very happy.
In the past three years, the one who treated her and Yang Xiao the best, aside from the sixth master, Yang Lieyan, was Yang Xin.
Now that Yang Xin had returned, how could she not be happy?
In the eyes of the others, although the two beauties, one big and one small, had different auras, they were both as beautiful as flowers. When they stood together, they were truly the most beautiful and moving scenery in the world.
Chapter 7
Yang Xiao looked at the two beauties in front of him and couldn't help but be a little dazed.
Yang Xin's appearance was extremely beautiful, and her temperament was mature. Her entire body exuded the aura of an older sister. Coupled with her proud chest, gentle eyes, round thighs, and the light fragrance that seemed to be her body fragrance, she was simply like a charming fairy that charmed tens of thousands of living beings.
On the other hand, Liu Ruochan belonged to the pure and innocent type, like a girl next door. Perhaps her figure was not as perfect as Yang Xin's, but that was because she was younger. If she were to grow up, whether it was beauty, figure, or temperament, she would not lose to Yang Xin in the slightest.
When these two women with completely different temperaments stood together, it was simply the most eye-catching scene in this world. Instantly, it attracted the attention and covetous eyes of countless men.
As a result, many people subconsciously ignored the main character of this chaos, Yang Xiao.
At this moment, a few figures walked out of the library.
The one in the lead was a hale and hearty old man dressed in black. It was Li Hu. As soon as he appeared, his body trembled, releasing an invisible pressure that swept out.
In an instant, the originally noisy world quietened down at a speed visible to the naked eye.
At this moment, many people at the scene finally noticed the existence of Yang Xiao.
"Huh? Who is this person? Why does he look unfamiliar yet familiar? "
"So it's not the number one genius of our Yang Family. But then again, this person looks very familiar."
"Damn, how could it be him?!"
"…"
In the next moment, the surrounding crowd immediately began to discuss.
Some people were confused, some people questioned, but there was also a portion of people who showed unconcealable shock and fear!
At this moment, Li Hu spoke.
"Everyone, disperse."
He waved his sleeves, and his powerful voice reverberated. His voice contained an irresistible force, entering everyone's ears.
Li Hu was the guardian elder of the first five floors of the Compendium Pavilion. Even in the entire Yang Family, he had great authority. Thus, when his words came out, the surrounding crowd dispersed one after another.
Of course, there were also some troublemakers who wanted to stay and watch the show. But in the end, they were scared witless by Li Hu's glare and ran away.
In a short while, there were less than ten people left in the originally bustling entrance of the library.
"Young master!"
At this time, Yang Zihao's two servants shouted and hurriedly knelt beside Yang Zihao. One of them fed Yang Zihao a healing pill, while the other circulated his internal energy to heal Yang Zihao's injuries.
"You guys, come with me."
Li Hu said and turned to enter the library.
Yang Xiao, Liu Ruochan, and Yang Xin followed, while the two servants carried Yang Zihao and followed.
The two servants glared at Yang Xiao with unparalleled hatred. If looks could kill, then Yang Xiao would have been pierced through by their gazes a million times!
…
Compendium Pavilion, Conference Room.
Conference Room was located on the first floor of the Compendium Pavilion. It was the place where affairs of the Compendium Pavilion were discussed.
Li Hu sat quietly at the front and did not say a word. However, his gaze was extremely sharp. He glanced back and forth at the people in front of him, as if he was thinking of a way to resolve this matter.
"Elder Li Hu, Yang Xiao has openly caused trouble in the Compendium Pavilion. He has even disgracefully injured Young Master Yang Zihao. Such absurd behavior is completely disregarding the rules of the Yang Family. You must be clear about this and punish him severely!"
The two servants opened their mouths and said angrily.
However, before Li Hu could reply, the two servants continued to mutter, "We must punish him severely. In front of the clan's rules, everyone is equal. If we do not punish him severely, then we will be practicing favoritism and cheating. If the Patriarch finds out …"
Li Hu was an old fox who had lived for many years, how could he not understand the meaning of these two servants? He was warning him, threatening him!
However, what kind of status did he, Li Hu, have? How could he be threatened by two servants?
Therefore, without waiting for the two servants to finish speaking, Li Hu interrupted them and shouted, "Shut up! I naturally know whether or not I will punish you severely. There is no need for you two to say anything else!
"The two servants quickly shut their mouths, afraid that Li Hu would be unhappy and slap them to death.
After that, Li Hu looked at Yang Xiao coldly, as if he wanted to hear Yang Xiao's explanation.
Actually, to be honest, although Li Hu looked cold on the surface, he was extremely happy in his heart.
This was because Yang Xiao had easily defeated Yang Zihao, the Stage Six Martial Master!
Previously, he had been watching the battle between Yang Xiao and Yang Zihao on the second floor of the Compendium Pavilion. Thus, he could feel that Yang Xiao's last punch had hammered Yang Zihao to death!
Too violent!
He was now very suspicious, could it be that Yang Xiao's Spirit Root had grown back? Otherwise, how could he have such strength?!
When Yang Xiao saw Li Hu looking at him, he wanted to say: I will take responsibility for my own actions. At most, I will just be punished. Who asked this Yang Zihao to be so despicable, to actually dare to take advantage of Xiao Chan? It's already good that I didn't f * cking beat him to death!
Actually, Yang Xiao had originally wanted to take revenge on Yang Zihao in a few days. Blame it on Yang Zihao for being too despicable!
However, before Yang Xiao could say anything, Yang Xin, who was beside Yang Xiao, pursed her lips into a smile and spoke in a flirtatious manner.
"Grandpa Li Hu, if the higher-ups find out, you can say that Cousin Zihao was beaten up by me. I didn't like him, so I beat him up. Perhaps I didn't control my strength, so I hit him a little too hard."
Yang Xin smiled gently. Her voice was soft and charming, so soft that it could seep into one's bones.
Hearing this, Li Hu was slightly startled.
The two servants were immediately unhappy. They looked at Yang Xin and asked unhappily: "Miss Yang Xin, you are bullying …"
"What, do you two have any objections?!"
A cold glint flashed in Yang Xin's eyes, and she glanced at the two servants.
It was this slight glance that made the two Martial Grandmaster servants tremble in fear. They immediately shut their mouths and kept quiet out of fear!
"Alright, it's decided then."
Yang Xin clapped her hands and said with a smile: "As for Cousin Zihao, I was the one who beat him up. If you want to punish him, just punish me alone. Grandpa Li Hu, let's do it this way. No one is allowed to go back on their words. "
"You little girl."
Hearing this, Li Hu did not know whether to laugh or cry.
But then, Li Hu nodded lightly and said: "Alright."
The two servants were stunned.
So was Yang Xiao.
What the hell?
Wasn't this … openly covering up for a criminal?!
What kind of trick was this?!
When Yang Xin saw Yang Xiao's confusion, she gently smiled and whispered into his ear, "Fool, don't be surprised. My level is higher than him, so it's understandable for me to beat him up. The clan won't punish me, but if it's you, the result will be different."
After saying this, Yang Xin gently bit the root of Yang Xiao's ear. It tickled Yang Xiao, causing him to tremble. Then, he sniffed the enchanting fragrance on Yang Xin's body, causing an invisible flame to rise in Yang Xiao's lower abdomen.
Chapter 8
Both parties finally reached an agreement.
Attacker: Yang Xin.
Victim: Yang Zihao.
As for the real culprit, Yang Xiao, he had nothing to do with this dispute.
Walking out of the library.
Yang Xiao looked at Yang Xin's beautiful smile and felt touched.
It was obvious that Yang Xin really cared about Yang Xiao.
Actually, Yang Xiao was not afraid of any punishment. After all, he had the assistance of the most powerful and heaven-defying item in history, the System. He would be able to stop soldiers and flood water. Not to mention the Yang Clan, Yang Xiao was not afraid of the entire Cloud Dynasty!
However, since Yang Xin was kind enough to help him, Yang Xiao could not refuse.
"Fine, let's put an end to this matter."
Shaking his head, Yang Xiao did not think about it anymore.
At this time, Yang Xin, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped and turned around. She looked at Yang Xiao with her gentle eyes and said with a smile, "Xiaoxiao, have you heard any news about your fiancée?"
"Fiancée?"
Yang Xiao blinked, and the face of a beautiful woman immediately appeared in his mind.
His fiancée, Feng Qingxue!
Feng Qingxue, the princess of the Yunxiao Dynasty. Her beauty was unparalleled and she was above everyone else.
Years ago, Yang Xiao was the number one genius of the Yunxiao Dynasty. The second genius after him was Feng Qingxue!
Feng Qingxue was extremely talented. Even compared to Yang Xiao, she was only slightly weaker!
Back then, the royal family was very fond of Yang Xiao's talent. They betrothed Feng Qingxue to Yang Xiao and wanted to tie the knot with the Yang Family.
However, the two did not hold a real wedding. Until now, Feng Qingxue was only Yang Xiao's "fiancée".
"No, what happened to her?" Yang Xiao asked curiously.
"She has been taken in by a large sect in the Hundred Dynasties Region."
Yang Xin smiled gently and continued, "Have you heard of the Wind Sect?"
The Wind Sect was one of the top ten sects in the Hundred Dynasties Region. Its strength was undeniable.
It was not the slightest exaggeration to say that even a colossus like the Cloudsky Dynasty was only an ant before the Wind Sect, and it would be crushed with a single crush!
Hearing this, Yang Xiao nodded and did not reply.
Yang Xin, on the other hand, continued to speak in a gentle voice. "That fiancée of yours is extraordinary. She attracted countless admirers the moment she entered the Wind Sect, and the number of men pursuing her can line up from the Wind Sect all the way to our Cloud Dynasty. Moreover, someone heard that she actually has an engagement, and the engagement partner is actually you, so …"
Without waiting for Yang Xin to finish, Yang Xiao frowned and asked in a low voice, "Looking for trouble with me?"
"Smart."
Yang Xin clapped her hands. Suddenly, her body flashed and she appeared in front of Yang Xiao. She pinched his cheeks and asked with a smile, "Why, are you afraid?"
Yang Xiao did not reply.
However, there was a cold glint surging in his eyes!
Damn it, there was no end to it!
Right now, I just want to increase my strength and avenge the original owner. I want to kill those who stole his Spirit Root, that's all!
But now, all kinds of people are looking for trouble with me. Do they really think that I am a pushover that they can pinch as they please?!
Seeing that Yang Xiao did not react, Yang Xin thought that Yang Xiao was really worried about something. She gently stretched out her arms and hugged Yang Xiao's shoulders. Then, she pressed Yang Xiao's cheeks against her full breasts and comforted him, "Don't be afraid, little fool. No matter what happens, I will protect you."
However, at this moment, Yang Xiao's mind was gradually blank!
Blood was about to flow out of his nose!
Too gentle!
Feeling as if there was an evil fire burning in his body, Yang Xiao quickly calmed himself down. However, his heart was filled with doubt. Are all the older sisters in this world so gentle to their younger brothers? Isn't this a little exciting!
When Yang Xin sensed that Yang Xiao was squirming in her arms, she smiled warmly and held his cheeks with both hands. Looking at him, she smiled gently and said, "Don't take advantage of me. Be careful that I don't hit you."
Yang Xiao smiled embarrassedly.
"Hey, tell me, what are you going to do next?" Yang Xin asked.
"Increase my strength." Yang Xiao said naturally.
"Oh?"
When Yang Xin heard this, a strange look flashed across her bright eyes.
Previously, she had already sensed that Yang Xiao's dantian did not grow a Spirit Root. Therefore, she was very surprised from the beginning. How did Yang Xiao display such strong strength?
And now he said he wanted to increase his strength? He did not have a Spirit Root, how could he increase his strength?
However, although she was surprised, Yang Xin did not ask much. Because, as long as the confident and high-spirited Yang Xiao could return, then no matter what happened, no matter what she had to do, she would accept it without hesitation!
As long as Yang Xiao could pull himself together!
…
Because Yang Xin still had some matters to deal with, she parted ways with Yang Xiao and Liu Ruochan.
Yang Xiao brought Liu Ruochan back to his residence.
Sitting cross-legged on the cultivation platform made of bluestone, Yang Xiao narrowed his eyes and browsed the System Bar in front of him that only he could see.
Previously, when he defeated Yang Zihao, Yang Xiao gained 1 point of battle power, so his current battle power was 81.
Yang Xiao was deep in thought.
Whether it was defeating Yang Xingchen or Yang Zihao, Yang Xiao gained 1 point of battle power.
"It seems that defeating a martial cultivator weaker than me can only gain 1 point of battle power."
Yang Xiao secretly nodded. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and a trace of curiosity arose in his heart, "Then what if I defeat someone of the same level as me, or even … stronger than me?"
In an instant, Yang Xiao had an urge to give it a try!
"Do it!"
In the next moment, Yang Xiao abruptly stood up from the cultivation platform. He was going to do it!
Then, he looked at the confused Liu Ruochan and said, "Xiao Chan, I'm going out for a few days. Stay at home for a few days and don't run around. Wait for me to come back."
When Xiao Chan heard that, she immediately became anxious. She jogged to Yang Xiao's side and shook his arm, asking with tears in her eyes, "Big Brother Yang Xiao, what are you going to do? Why don't you bring me along? Big Brother Yang Xiao, you, you don't want me anymore? "
As she spoke, her voice carried a sobbing tone and the tears in her eyes were about to flow out!
Yang Xiao was stunned.
He didn't expect Xiao Chan to be so innocent and adorably silly!
But then, Yang Xiao stroked Xiao Chan's long hair and comforted her with a smile, "Silly girl, why wouldn't I want you? I'm just going out to do something. It's a little dangerous and I definitely can't bring you along. If something happens to you, I'll cry to death. "
"Re-really?"
Liu Ruochan asked with teary eyes.
Yang Xiao nodded.
Liu Ruochan's tears turned into a smile. She seemed happy but also seemed to be complaining, "Big Brother Yang Xiao, you go. Be careful."
"Don't worry."
Yang Xiao lightly flicked Liu Ruochan's eyebrows, but in his heart, he said, "A woman's face really changes faster than the sky."
Then, Yang Xiao raised his eyes. His sharp gaze pierced through the window and looked into the distance.
In his heart, there seemed to be a resolute voice that flowed.
"The Cloud Mountain Range is full of demonic beasts. It's the best place to increase my strength. I hope it doesn't disappoint me."
Chapter 9
Yang Xiao sensed a powerful aura that had been following him since the beginning.
Just as he was about to reach the Yang Family's doorstep, Yang Xiao stopped in his tracks and turned around to look behind him.
There was no one behind him.
However, Yang Xiao opened his mouth, as if he was talking to thin air, "Fifth uncle, what's the matter?"
However, Yang Xiao did not receive any response.
Yang Xiao sighed softly and said, "Fifth uncle, if there's nothing else, then I'll be leaving. I'm very busy."
After saying that, Yang Xiao turned around and was about to leave.
However, before he could turn around, the air ten feet in front of him suddenly distorted. Soon after, a tall middle-aged figure appeared.
In an instant, a powerful aura, like a torrent, rushed towards Yang Xiao, attacking his soul and heart.
"Martial General …"
Yang Xiao naturally knew that this aura was deliberately released by the middle-aged man to take him down a notch. However, from this aura, Yang Xiao could sense the middle-aged man's strength, he was at least a martial general!
Yang Xiao narrowed his eyes and looked over.
The middle-aged man was dressed in a light white robe, with one hand behind his back, he stood calmly on the ground. His aura was powerful, as deep as a mountain.
This person was Yang Xiao's fifth uncle, who was also Yang Xingchen's father, Yang Wanlei!
At this moment, Yang Wanlei's eyes were sharp, like Thunder, staring at Yang Xiao.
Yang Xiao's body gradually tensed up. One must know that he had almost beaten Yang Xingchen to death, so now, this Yang Wanlei was probably here to get back at him!
However, the next moment, Yang Wanlei opened his mouth and said with a slightly hoarse voice, "Good nephew, uncle just wants to remind you, in the upcoming Yang Family Competition, don't lose too badly, or else, you and your father will be expelled from the Yang Family."
Hearing this, Yang Xiao frowned slightly. How could he not hear that Yang Wanlei seemed to be reminding him, but in reality, it was a threat!
However, Yang Xiao still replied with a smile, "Uncle, rest assured, there will always be a way out. Since ancient times, there have always been more solutions than difficulties, don't you think so?"
When Yang Wanlei heard this, his eyes flashed with a hint of surprise.
He did not expect Yang Xiao to reply so calmly.
Compared to the timid Yang Xiao from before, he seemed to have become a different person. He was completely different!
Then, Yang Wanlei said earnestly, "To be honest, among us seven siblings, I have the best relationship with your father. I really do not want to see you and your father being expelled from the Yang Family."
"Uncle, thank you for your concern, but as the saying goes, there will always a way when the time comes..
When the time comes, there will always be a way out, "replied Yang Xiao with a faint smile.
Then, without waiting for Yang Wanlei's reply, Yang Xiao continued, "Uncle, I do have some urgent matters to attend to, so I will take my leave first."
Yang Xiao bowed, turned around, and left.
However, before Yang Xiao turned around, he took a deep look at the top of Yang Wanlei's head.
Yang Wanlei did not say anything as he quietly watched Yang Xiao leave.
When Yang Xiao was completely gone, a figure suddenly flickered beside Yang Wanlei, and the figure of an old man with a stooped back appeared like a ghost.
"Fifth Master, do you want to follow him?" asked the old man.
"Go ahead."
Yang Wanlei did not refuse and waved his sleeves.
"Yes."
The old man nodded, and his figure flashed again, disappearing without a trace.
Yang Wanlei once again stared in the direction where Yang Xiao had left. His bright eyes seemed to be flickering with violent lightning.
"My dear nephew, for the past three years, you've kept everyone in the dark. You've really had a hard time."
Yang Wanlei slightly curled his five fingers, and a wisp of lightning flowed out from his fingertips.
… …
The Cloud Mountain Range was filled with demonic beasts. Endless dangers and opportunities accompanied each other, and it was the best place to improve one's strength.
Almost all cultivators from the empires would come here to train and improve their strength when they were young.
And now, Yang Xiao had also entered the Cloud Mountain Range.
There was more human activity on the outskirts of the mountain range, so there was not much danger.
Therefore, Yang Xiao did not linger around the outskirts, and directly headed for the middle and inner layers of the mountain range.
There were less and less people around...
The dense tree leaves blocked the sunlight, and only a few rays of light shone on the ground. A cold atmosphere seemed to envelop the heaven and earth, causing people to unconsciously feel nervous.
Yang Xiao stopped in his tracks.
The reason for that was because he could sense that he was being stared at by a sharp gaze.
"I didn't expect to be targeted as soon as I entered the Cloud Mountain Range. I wonder if it's bad luck or good luck."
Yang Xiao shook his head with a smile.
Meanwhile, a loud noise could be heard from behind Yang Xiao. Following this, the silhouette of a giant beast pounced down from the sky toward Yang Xiao.
It was a pitch-black giant lion!
The appearance of this giant lion was too sudden. If it had been anyone else, they might have been caught off guard and become the prey of this giant lion.
However, at the last moment, Yang Xiao's figure flickered, and he instantly reappeared about fifteen feet to the left.
The giant lion's claws missed, and slammed into the ground with a loud bang, instantly creating a deep pit, causing choking dust to rise into the air.
"Oh, a high-grade second-grade Magical Beast, the Black Demon Lion."
Yang Xiao sized up the giant lion's appearance and found out what kind of lion it was — a Class 2 Magical Beast, Black Demon Lion!
Magical Beasts were also divided into nine levels, from the first to the ninth level. Each level was divided into three levels: elementary, intermediate, and advanced.
The levels of magical beasts corresponded to the levels of martial cultivators. The first to the ninth level of magical beasts corresponded to the martial cultivators, Martial Masters, Great Martial Masters, Martial Generals, Martial Kings, Wu Huang, and so on.
For example, this High Rank 2 Magical Beast, the Black Demon Lion, was probably not weaker than a Stage Eight Martial Master!
"Roar!"
At this moment, the Black Demon Lion realized that it had missed its target and was immediately enraged. It roared towards the sky and charged towards Yang Xiao!
Yang Xiao stood there without moving. Instead, he took a deep look at the top of the Black Demon Lion's head.
There, he saw two numbers: 87.
This Black Demon Lion's fighting strength was 87!
"Although it's a bit higher than mine, the difference isn't that big."
"Hm!" "I can deal with it!"
Yang Xiao's eyes flashed as he made a prompt decision: Let's do it!
Without any hesitation, Yang Xiao took a deep breath and tensed his muscles. Then, his body moved and he charged forward!
"Boom!" "Boom!"
After that, a series of loud collisions rang out. From time to time, traces of the collisions would spread out, causing the surrounding beasts and birds to scatter …
After about half the time it took to drink a cup of tea …
"Boom!"
The Black Demon Lion's huge body crashed to the ground. Its body was covered in wounds, and its originally glossy black fur was in a mess. Some parts of its fur had been torn off, revealing its bloody skin …
In the next moment, the Black Demon Lion's body twitched violently. Then, its eyes lost their luster and its aura was cut off.
Dead!
Chapter 10
"Ding! Congratulations to the Host for defeating a high-grade second-grade magical beast. You have gained 3 Battle Power! "
"The Host's current Battle Power is 84!"
The crisp voice of the system rang in Yang Xiao's mind.
"3 Battle Power …"
Yang Xiao narrowed his eyes and seemed to be deep in thought.
The Black Demon Lion was slightly stronger than him. Now that the Black Demon Lion had been defeated, he had gained 3 Battle Power.
Yang Xiao came to a sudden realization.
Even if he defeated the Martial Cultivators who were obviously weaker than him, he would only gain 1 Battle Power.
However, if he defeated the Martial Cultivators or magical beasts that were on par with him, he would gain more Battle Power.
"What if I can defeat the opponent five or six levels higher, or even more than 10 levels higher?"
A bold idea suddenly came to Yang Xiao's mind.
However, he immediately shook his head gently. His current strength and skills were insufficient. Trying to fight someone that was so much higher than him was basically courting death.
Therefore, at this stage, it was better to increase his own strength and obtain some powerful trump cards and methods. That was the way to go!
"Ding! Would the Host like to absorb this high-grade second-grade magical beast? "
However, at that moment, the crisp voice of the system rang in Yang Xiao's mind again.
"Absorb?"
Yang Xiao was slightly taken aback. He thought to himself, Could it be similar to absorbing martial arts and combat skills?
Without any hesitation, Yang Xiao nodded and said, "Absorb it."
"Ding! Host, please place your palm on the magical beast's carcass, "the system reminded him.
Yang Xiao did as he was told. He placed his right hand gently on the corpse of the Black Demon Lion that had yet to turn cold.
"Ding! Begin absorption! "
"Absorption rate 20%, Absorption rate 45%, Absorption rate 75% …"
"Ding! Absorption complete! "
"Congratulations to the Host for obtaining 9 Mall Coins!"
When the crisp voice of the system rang in Yang Xiao's mind, the huge body of the Black Demon Lion in front of Yang Xiao disappeared with a whoosh.
It was absorbed by the system!
Upon seeing this, a satisfied smile appeared on Yang Xiao's face. It was as if everything was within his expectations.
Everyone knew that the entire body of a Demonic Beast was a treasure. Not only was the Demonic Core inside a Demonic Beast's body, but the flesh, skin, and fur of a Demonic Beast were also treasures that Martial Cultivators yearned for even in their dreams.
The reason why Yang Xiao came to the Cloud Mountain Range was not only to defeat the magical beasts and improve his combat strength, but also to see if the system could absorb magical beasts.
The system could absorb any treasures from the Yunxiao Dynasty, including cultivation techniques, combat skills, elixirs, and so on. But did it include the magic cores, flesh, and armor of magical beasts?
And now, it was obvious that Yang Xiao had guessed correctly. The strongest system in all of eternity could indeed absorb everything from a Magical Beast!
He was going to be rich!
However, just as Yang Xiao was feeling very satisfied with the result …
"Ding! Congratulations, host, for successfully transforming into a magical beast. You have obtained a beast soul that can only be used once. "
The System's crisp voice once again rang out in Yang Xiao's mind without warning.
"A beast soul?"
Yang Xiao frowned as a confused look appeared on his face.
What the hell is a beast soul?
At that moment, Yang Xiao suddenly felt his Dantian heat up. Then, a string of information appeared in his mind.
It was the Dark Demon Lion!
Yang Xiao immediately understood.
Although the strongest system in all of eternity had absorbed the Dark Demon Lion, it had converted the Dark Demon Lion's power into a beast soul that was stored in Yang Xiao's Dantian. When Yang Xiao wanted to use it, all he needed to do was to summon the beast soul, which was no weaker than the Dark Demon Lion, to help Yang Xiao in battle.
"I didn't expect the strongest system in all of eternity to have such a function!"
Yang Xiao was pleasantly surprised. This trip to the Cloud Mountain Range was really worth it!
Not only could he increase his combat strength, but he could also obtain Mall Coins and powerful beast souls!
It was totally worth it!
However, at that moment, a loud noise was heard coming from the bushes behind him. A huge beast shadow suddenly pounced out from the bushes and pounced at Yang Xiao!
Everything happened so suddenly that even Yang Xiao could not react in time!
Fortunately, the current Yang Xiao was no longer the same person he was in the past. His body was very sensitive and he immediately rolled to the side.
Boom!
The huge beast shadow fell from the sky and slammed into the ground. Dust flew everywhere as a huge pit appeared on the ground. Zigzagging cracks spread out.
If Yang Xiao had taken such a heavy blow, he would have been seriously injured even if he did not die!
Yang Xiao half-knelt on the ground not far away. His forehead was covered in cold sweat. It was obvious that he was still a little scared.
However, although he was scared, Yang Xiao was still extremely calm at the moment!
He squinted at the huge beast shadow. It was a brown ape that was more than three meters tall like a giant.
At that moment, it was baring its teeth at Yang Xiao. Its eyes were full of killing intent.
Yang Xiao took a deep look at the top of the giant ape's head.
Two numbers appeared: 95.
This giant ape was also an advanced grade two magical beast. Its combat strength was even higher than the Black Demon Lion's!
Yang Xiao's eyes flickered slightly.
If it was a quarter of an hour ago, he might have chosen to retreat temporarily. Although he was not afraid of this giant ape, he would not use his few trump cards just to kill this magical beast.
However, everything was different now.
The moment Yang Xiao made his decision, the giant ape's legs kicked the ground and its body suddenly shot out like a bolt of lightning. It arrived in front of Yang Xiao in an instant and punched out violently!
This punch was so powerful that it could break the wind!
Yang Xiao's face showed no signs of fear. Instead, an incomparably high fighting spirit surfaced in his eyes. He took a deep breath, took a step forward with his right foot, and punched out as well!
His aura was no less imposing than the giant ape's!
In the next moment, the two fists of different sizes collided without any fancy moves.
Boom!
Accompanied by a muffled sound, a visible wave of air surged out from the point where the two fists collided!
Then, Yang Xiao's body trembled slightly and he involuntarily retreated.
On the other hand, the giant ape's body did not move an inch. It stood steadily on the ground like a mountain!
Yang Xiao retreated more than ten steps, each step leaving a deep imprint on the ground. Finally, he barely managed to stabilize his body.
The giant ape grinned, revealing a human-like disdainful smile.
In the next instant, the giant ape did not stop. Its body suddenly shot out again, intending to obliterate Yang Xiao!
"This fellow's strength is really great."
Yang Xiao rubbed his numb right arm and lamented.
But then, he also grinned, revealing a sinister smile. He muttered, "It just so happens that I'm very curious about the power of a beast spirit. So, I'll let you try my blade."
