Chapter 16: Ungratefulness

The Hall of External Missions, Tianyuan Palace.

Yang Chenyang went straight to the task board and picked up seven or eight task slips in a row. There were tasks to kill second-stage monsters, tasks to find medicinal herbs, and some tasks to collect monster pearls.

Tianyuan Palace is located in the Northwild Mountains.

Yang Chenyang left Tianyuan Palace and headed for the Northwild Mountains. Along the way, he would try his best to kill any monsters he could defeat, and he would pick all the herbs he came across.

This time out, his goal was not just to complete tasks, but also to train himself.

Along the way, Yang Chenyang was practicing the Phantom Shadow Technique and using the new learned Slaying God Sword Technique when he encountered monsters.

Because both of these were top-level divine techniques, it was still quite slow to practice.

Although these two techniques were slow to master, once they were mastered, they would provide a significant advantage over peers.

In a flash, seven days had passed.

With Yang Chenyang's unremitting efforts, both the Phantom Shadow Technique and the Slaying God Sword Technique had made considerable progress.

At this point, Yang Chenyang could instantly dash dozens of meters away with his body movements, and this kind of speed and agility in battle could bring unimaginable advantages.

During this time, Yang Chenyang lived a very fulfilling life. During the day, he fought with monsters to hone his skills, and at night, he would find an empty cave and enter the Jade Emperor's Palace to train.

"Help! "Any fellow disciples of the Tian Yuan Palace here?" Seeing this tiny human dare to challenge himself, the magical armored lizard roared and swept its huge tail towards Yang Chenming.

"Klunk... Klunk... Klunk... Klunk... Klunk..."

A row of trees was swept down by the magical armored lizard's huge tail, its tail was like a harvester, leaving nothing behind, if it were to be swept, it would not die but would be crippled.

And Yang Chenming was not careless either, he used the phantom body technique and the assassin's sword technique to strike at the magical armored lizard.

"Ding... Ding... Ding... Ding... Ding...!"

The long sword struck the magical armored lizard's scales, making a ding-ding-ding sound.

The magical armored lizard had a body covered in scales, and the ordinary sword in Yang Chenming's hand was unlikely to hurt it at all.

As the battle continued, Yang Chenming gradually found the magical armored lizard's weaknesses, namely its joints and eyes.

Under Yang Chenming's constant attacks, the magical armored lizard's limb joints and eyes were all rendered useless.

The blind magical armored lizard became even more frenzied, sweeping its tail wildly.

Yang Chenming then found a place to restore his spiritual power, and waited for the magical armored lizard to run out of strength before he would collect its demonic pearl.

After another moment, Yang Chenming finally regained his spiritual power, and it took him a little more time to deal with the magical armored lizard.

Just as he was about to collect the magical armored lizard's demonic pearl, "Stop! This magical armored lizard was mine to discover and I injured it first, so you had a chance to kill it. Therefore, the magical pearl should belong to me."

Suddenly, a beautiful girl appeared behind Yang Aiming.

Yang Aiming frowned. He had seen people who were shameless, but had never seen someone so shameless.

He didn't bother to reply to the girl and simply took the magical pearl.

"Dirty little boy, give me the magical pearl, or I'll make sure you can't survive in the outer court of Tianyuan Palace." The girl's voice was cold to the extreme.

"Pfft...!"

Yang Aiming's figure flashed, and he didn't hesitate to slap her.

He had finally reached his breaking point. He had saved her life, but she not only didn't show her gratitude, but also wanted to steal his magical pearl.

"Ah... Ah... Ah... Ah..."

The girl let out a scream and was thrown backward, with her right cheek swelling up immediately.

"Dirty girl, do you think I'm afraid of your identity?" Yang Aiming's figure appeared like a shadow, and he grabbed the girl's neck with one hand.

The strong sense of suffocation came rushing in, making the girl feel an endless fear. This guy didn't seem to care about her identity at all.

"How dare you! You dare to hurt my sister, Wen Tianxing!"

"Wen Tianxing?" Yang Aiming's eyes widened in surprise. Only to see a figure in the distance, which appeared in front of Yang Simen in an instant, emitting a chilling aura.

Feeling the terrifying aura emanating from the other party, Yang Simen shielded the girl in front of him and cautiously prepared himself.

This was a young man in the inner disciple's robe, with a slender and agile figure.

"Brother... save me," the girl struggled to speak.

Lv Tianxing looked at Yang Simen with a piercing gaze, saying, "Young man, let go of my sister, or I'll wipe out your entire clan."

Originally, Yang Simen was about to let go of the girl, but Lv Tianxing suddenly appeared, and now he dared not let go. If he let go, he would be subjected to the other party's frenzied pursuit.

"Don't you want to know why I hurt your sister?" Yang Simen said.

"No need to ask. You should let go of my sister and cut off one of your arms. I'll give you a chance to live." Lv Tianxing said coldly.

"I saved her life, but she repaid me by attacking me and trying to steal my demonic essence. If you want to save your sister, throw your storage bag over here!"

Yang Simen suddenly exerted a force with his right hand, while cautiously guarding against Lv Tianxing. Since you don't play by the rules, I don't have to be polite to you either.

"Cough cough cough...," the girl was choked and coughed non-stop, with her face twisted, her eyes wide open. "Stop! Here's your storage bag. If you dare hurt my sister, no one in the Tianyuan Palace can save you."

Lv Tianxing threatened, then took off his storage bag and threw it at Yang Chenming.

"Now immediately back up 100 meters. I'll naturally release your sister then." Yang Chenming coldly said.

Lv Tianxing's eyes were filled with coldness as he stared at Yang Chenming. He slowly backed up 100 meters, but he hated Yang Chenming so much that he wanted to kill him.

"Ah ah ah ah ah ah...," the girl let out a heart-wrenching scream.

"Dirty woman, I'll beat you to death," said Yang Chenmiao, who then proceeded to slap her face seven or eight times, instantly turning her face into a pig's head. He then instantly used the Phantom Body Technique to disappear into the forest.

"You're asking for death," said Li Tianxing, whose figure quickly flew towards the direction where Yang Chenmiao had disappeared.

However, he soon returned to his original spot, as Yang Chenmiao's figure had already vanished without a trace.

"Brother, I swear I'll kill him," the girl's eyes were filled with venomous hate.

"XinYi, you can rest assured that as long as he's still in TianYuan Palace, we'll find him," Li Tianxing's eyes were now filled with an icy coldness.

A mere outer disciple dared to beat his sister in front of him and rob him of his storage bag, which was nothing short of a great humiliation to him.
