"Xiao'Er, what's wrong?"
While Yang Xiao was utterly stunned, Yang Zhentian asked in confusion.
Although he didn't know Yang Xiao's true background, his son's performance these past few days had made him see him in a completely new light. 'So why is he having such a shocked reaction just from seeing this booklet?'
'Could it be just because this is a Secret Skill?'
But he didn't know.
He didn't know that if it were just an ordinary Secret Skill, or even a Top Tier Great Divine Technique, Yang Xiao wouldn't have even batted an eye.
But this Secret Skill was different.
It was a Dominator Level Divine Power Secret Skill. A Dominator Level Divine Power Secret Skill.
Even Yang Xiao only rembered two such techniques.
One was the Fla Emperor Divine Fist, a technique he had created himself. It was the technique he used to attain the Dao and beco an Emperor.
The other was the Nine Yang Secret Skill, passed down by his Master.
It was the foundation upon which his Master achieved the Saint Dao.
This Starburst Skill, though only a foundational technique for the Great Star Technique, wasn't a true Dominator Level Divine Power Secret Skill in itself.
However, with Yang Xiao's knowledge, he could perceive the true Great Star Technique from it.
How could Yang Xiao not be shocked?
"Father, I'm fine."
After a long mont, Yang Xiao finally cald down.
"It's good that you're fine. Now that I've passed this Secret Skill on to you, I can finally rest easy. However, while this Secret Skill is good, it easily damages one's blood and qi. In the future, unless it's a matter of life and death, you must not use it. Avoid damaging your own blood and qi..."
Yang Zhentian had intended to give him a proper lecture.
But when he rembered that his own blood-withering affliction had been cured by his son, Yang Xiao, he found himself unable to continue.
"Damage my blood and qi? Father, how exactly did you cultivate this Secret Skill?"
However, as soon as he said that, Yang Xiao froze for a mont.
'The Starburst Skill might have the character for "burst" in its na, but it's not a Secret Skill that makes your blood and qi erupt. It's a peerless technique for drawing Star Power into the body.'
'The "burst" refers to bursting forth with Star Power. If cultivated correctly, it's impossible for it to damage one's blood and qi. Otherwise, how could it be called the foundational technique of the Great Star Technique?'
'But from what Father said, his blood-withering affliction seems to be related to this Starburst Skill.'
"I cultivated it according to the thod written here? Oh, right, the first parts were too profound—sothing about igniting Star Acupoints, condensing Star Fire, and whatnot. I couldn't really understand it. But I did manage to grasp one or two of the eruption techniques at the end. What, was I cultivating it wrong?"
Yang Zhentian looked a little embarrassed.
Hearing this, Yang Xiao almost rolled his eyes.
'Igniting the Star Acupoints, condensing Star Fire, and arranging the Celestial Star Array—that's the very essence of the Starburst Skill! The eruption techniques at the end are just ordinary skills.'
'I could find a dozen techniques in my mory to replace that eruption skill. It's the worthless part.'
'I can't believe Yang Zhentian treated the dregs like a treasure and threw away the true essence.'
'No wonder that after cultivating it, not only did he fail to transform his Innate True Qi into Star True Power, he even damaged his blood and qi instead.'
'This is just...'
Yang Xiao was left speechless.
"Father, stop cultivating this Secret Skill for now. I feel that this technique is incredibly profound; it shouldn't be sothing that harms your blood and qi. Let study it for a bit, and then I'll teach you the correct cultivation thod."
"It doesn't harm one's blood and qi? If that's really the case, then this Secret Skill is truly extraordinary."
Yang Zhentian gasped.
Yang Xiao nearly rolled his eyes at him again.
'It's far beyond just extraordinary.'
'It's a legacy Secret Skill, okay?'
'For this to fall into his hands... it's like casting pearls before swine.'
'Fortunately, it's in my hands now.'
'Don't worry about Wang Qianhe for now. The most important thing is this Secret Skill. If I can master it, even without breaking through to the Orange Fla Realm, my strength will probably increase significantly.'
A thought stirred in Yang Xiao's mind.
He couldn't wait. He sent Yang Zhentian off to rest, asking Yun'Er to take care of him and make sure he rested well.
He was not to get angry or fight with anyone.
Yang Xiao then hurried to another room, closing the door to study it in seclusion.
'A Dominator Level Divine Power Secret Skill.'
The surprise was almost too much for him.
At the sa ti, a deep curiosity about the mother he had never t blood within him.
He decided he had to ask his father about her properly in the future.
'Just what kind of background did his mother have?'
'But for now, cultivating this Starburst Skill is the most urgent matter.'
...
「dicine Peak.」
The residence of Head Wang Qianhe.
Yang Xiong was kneeling humbly at the feet of a thin, small middle-aged man. His burly fra looked incredibly awkward in that position.
But if anyone else knew the identity of that middle-aged man, they probably wouldn't find it strange at all. In fact, they would think it was perfectly natural.
Because this small, thin middle-aged man was Wang Qianhe.
The only publicly known Fifth-level Great Pharmacist in the Purple Sun Sect, the Head of dicine Peak.
"Master, the rumors have already been spread. By now, everyone in the Purple Sun Sect looks down on Yang Zhentian and his son. Next, even if you lead people to their door to cause trouble, they'll only clap and cheer. No one will think you've done anything wrong."
Yang Xiong was, for all intents and purposes, a thorough lackey.
However, his master, Wang Qianhe, didn't seem particularly satisfied with this lackey.
He didn't even glance at Yang Xiong, saying coolly, "I hope that Secret Skill in Yang Zhentian's possession is truly as you described—able to condense the Primordial Power between heaven and earth and turn it into flas. Otherwise, you should know what your fate will be!"
"No, I wouldn't dare lie! I truly saw it with my own eyes! That good-for-nothing Yang Xiao used that Secret Skill to injure Yang Lang. If a piece of trash like Yang Xiao can achieve such a result, if Master were to use it, it would be absolutely world-shaking..."
The mont he heard the word "fate," Yang Xiong's heart trembled.
He imdiately began to explain frantically.
He was terrified that the slightest misstep would anger Wang Qianhe, and he would suffer the sa miserable fate as the previous Steward.
"Enough. I don't suppose you'd dare deceive . From now on, you will replace Wang San and manage the servants in the Outer Courtyard. Also, tomorrow, you will cooperate with the n from the Law Enforcent Hall and go to the Yang Family residence. You may go."
Wang Qianhe waved his hand impatiently.
"Yes, Master."
Hearing Wang Qianhe's words, Yang Xiong remained extrely cautious. Not daring to raise his head, he stayed on his knees, backing out of the hall step by step.
Only after he rounded a corner, out of Wang Qianhe's sight, did he finally stand up and wipe the sweat from his forehead.
Although he had only been with the Wang Family for a few days, he had already witnessed Wang Qianhe's thods.
Whenever he thought about how Wang San had been thrown into a pit full of venomous snakes, bitten to death, and finally beca food for them, his heart would tremble with fear.
He was filled with incomparable regret for choosing this path.
But now, it was too late for regrets.
He had already passed the point of no return.
'All I can do now is work diligently and tread carefully.'
'If I can help Master accomplish this tomorrow, there will probably be plenty of benefits for in the future. Yang Xiao, Yang Zhentian, don't you dare bla ! It's all your fault that I, Yang Xiong, have ended up like this!'
A savage look covered Yang Xiong's face.
