Chapter 581: Chapter 581 Fury Blood
Wan Huawen’s gaze fell upon Xin Mang, and on his lion-like face, it was difficult to discern joy or anger,
“Pleasure to see you, Xin Mang, it’s been a long while. Despite your frequent visits to Baihua City, you hardly co to see .”
Scratching her cheek, Xin Mang explained embarrassingly:
“Uncle Wan Huawen, we too have our own affairs to attend to, and so do you. I didn’t want to co over and disturb you needlessly. If I’ve caused any offense, I sincerely apologize.”
“In reality, I haven’t much to do either. As you know, I can’t leave Baihua City.
My role here is mainly to help this nation cultivate so talent.
At first, it was very busy, but now I have more free ti.
Don’t worry about that young man; he’s already been dispatched to the frontlines, and his marriage has been arranged. You no longer need to be concerned about him bothering you.”
Saying this, Wan Huawen shifted his over two-ter-tall body and moved to stand in front of Xin Mang.
If it weren’t for Grandpa Tong He ntioning Xin Mang’s visit, Wan Huawen would never have easily allowed Yang Yu and his group to use this training ground reserved for entry-level disciples; at most, he might have allowed Yang Yu and his companions to face challenges out in the wilderness.
“I won’t insist on you dropping by each ti, but I do hope you’ll co visit when you have a chance. I’ve always regarded you as my real daughter, so don’t be a stranger.”
“I certainly won’t be distant,” Xin Mang said, patting her chest. “It’s just that right now, my visits aren’t as easy to arrange.
Besides, as for Wanluo pursuing , I’ve made my refusal clear nurous tis, and I’ve always thought of him as a younger brother.
I’m happy for his engagent.”
After speaking, Xin Mang carefully avoided the thorns on Yang Yu’s body and pulled him a few steps forward.
“Let’s not dwell on family matters today. I’m here on official business.
This person wishes to learn skills from you, Uncle, and receive your guidance.
He is from the Plant Clan.
I admit he has a slight human scent about him.
But there’s a reason for that.
He is actually a hybrid of the Plant Clan and humans, suffering from the Plant Clan’s Woodification Disease.
Perhaps… he’s hoping to use the skills he learns to alleviate the symptoms of the disease.
Uncle, you wouldn’t discriminate against him just because he’s a mixed-blood of humans and the Plant Clan, would you?”
“Of course not, our Daoist School treats everyone equally.”
Wan Huawen shook his head as his gaze finally shifted away from Xin Mang. He first glanced over at the silver giant wolf Lotcar, noticed He ng sound asleep atop Lotcar, and finally his eyes settled on Yang Yu,
“From what Grandpa Tong He and Xin Mang told , you wish to learn the skills I offer and accept my teaching…
The rule is simple, if you pass my test, you may study under my tutelage.”
Yang Yu reined in his gaze from inspecting the Wanzhang Lion, controlled his thoughts to avoid drifting to “how to conquer the Blood Lion before him,” and probed,
“Thank you, Lord of the Family. I understand that to learn skills from you, testing is required; it’s protocol and I’ll abide by it.
I just hope it won’t be an overly complicated test.
To be frank, I have other commitnts tomorrow, so I hope to complete the test today and begin learning the skills.”
Wan Huawen raised a paw, stroking his chin contemplatively as his piercing gaze t Yang Yu’s,
“Is that so? You seem to be in quite a hurry.”
Xin Mang chid in for Yang Yu: “He’s heading back to the Life Forest where the Plant Clan resides tomorrow, to convey an imperial decree on behalf of Her Majesty Qian Xialan. That’s why he hopes to pass the test during this ti.”
“That’s sothing that could wait for another attempt. If you have commitnts tomorrow, you’d be better off resting well tonight,” replied Wan Huawen.
“If I can really learn sothing, on the way, I can reflect on it myself, review, and when I return, if I have any questions, I can imdiately seek out Mr. Wan Huawen for clarification,” Yang Yu answered with a smile,
“When I return, I’ll have plenty of tasks to tackle. I don’t want to just be a ssenger, but instead, I wish to make a na for myself.”
A smile suddenly appeared on Wan Huawen’s stern face,
“I don’t dislike ambitious people. If you really do have such capability, then let look forward to it.
Let’s do this by the book. I will have you challenge soone from our Daoist School. I don’t ask that you defeat them, just that your performance ets my expectations, and then I’ll agree to teach you the skill you seek.”
“Thank you. I am here mainly to seek two skills. I hope, Lord of the Family, that once I complete the test, you will demonstrate these two skills so I can confirm whether they’re indeed the ones I wish to learn.”
Yang Yu spoke with a grin, aware that in order to learn skills using Skill Points, he needed to see the complete effects of the skill in use and required the skill holder to be willing to teach him.
This was a Daoist School, and as long as he could pass the test, Wan Huawen, as the head of the family, would likely be inclined to teach him. All that was left was to observe the skill being used once.
“No problem,” Wan Huawen cheerfully agreed,
“It seems you have a clear goal in mind, which is excellent.
May I ask what the specific skills are that you want to learn?
We have so non-secret teachings here. If that’s what you’re after, it could be a bit troubleso.”
Yang Yu nodded. When he had chosen those two skills in the Library, he sensed that they must have a close connection with the Blood Lion.
At the ti, though, he couldn’t be sure whether these were part of the Blood Lion’s non-secret teachings.
“Alright then. The skills I want to learn are called ‘Fury Blood’ and ‘Red Blood Path.'”
‘Fury Blood’ was a powerful buff skill that could only be activated when one’s Blood Volu fell below 50%. It increased Strength by 10%, Defense by 10%, and Speed by 10% for 20 seconds; and it added True Damage equal to 5% of the user’s lost Life Value to their attacks for 15 seconds.
It might seem like 5% was a small number, but don’t overlook the fact that this 5% was True Damage, which could ignore the enemy’s Defense and Special Defense.
During the Plant Clan’s autumn festival, Yang Yu had fought against thick-skinned giant tree mbers of the Plant Clan. Had it not been for a burst of inspiration that led him to carve on soone’s body…
Such an Iron Turtle, he might hack at for half a month to no avail and with no clear victor. And if the opponent also had Recovery Skills, half a month’s effort would be for nothing.
Too low an Attack would not even scratch the surface.
Afterward, Yang Yu had to participate in the Dragon God Conference in the Dragon God Evaluation Country to obtain the giant dragon’s Racial Essence, then prepare for the Demon King Descent.
But the battles at the Dragon God Conference were one-on-one fights between the strong, and he didn’t wish to encounter another Iron Turtle like himself and stare each other down until the end of ti.
His own output was still too weak against high-level defenders, and facing Wan Huawen, it might not even qualify as scratching, perhaps just bathe scrubbing at most.
