44: Chapter 042: The Eccentric Youngster 44: Chapter 042: The Eccentric Youngster Ti flew by, and in the blink of an eye, only two months were left until the Chongyang Sect’s entry examination.
At the gates of the Xiao Alliance, three village chiefs led a group of villagers to see Xiao Ye off.
So outstanding youngsters from the Xiao Alliance, such as Shi Bo and Wu Daniu, were all present.
After taking the Postnatal Pills, they had all advanced to the Postnatal Realm, but they understood that with their strength, passing the Chongyang Sect examination was unrealistic.
So they gave up the idea of participating and stayed within the Xiao Alliance.
“Ye’er, we’ll be waiting for you to make a na for yourself in Dahong County!” Xiao Tianxiong said loudly, his gaze towards Xiao Ye full of pride.
He recalled the sparring match with Xiao Ye a few days ago, where Xiao Ye took his attacks without changing expression.
It’s worth noting that, after taking the Jade Spirit Pill, Xiao Tianxiong’s cultivation soared, breaking through the boundary barrier to reach the Half-step Innate level.
This alone showed the terrifying strength of Xiao Ye, making a na in Dahong County was not re talk.
“Ye’er, take care of yourself.” Xiao Yang walked up with Luo ilan, eyes full of encouragent.
A man’s ambitions lie far and wide, and with Xiao Ye’s talent, Green Sun Town couldn’t contain him.
Black Dragon Country, or even the True Spirit Continent, was his stage.
Luo ilan looked at Xiao Ye with reluctance, her eyes red.
“Father, Mother, I’m leaving now.” Tears glistened in Xiao Ye’s eyes, feeling reluctant, but he had to go for the Chongyang Sect entry examination.
After speaking, under everyone’s gaze, Xiao Ye turned and left with large strides, with the Fla Saber on his back.
“Ye’er, I hope when you return, you’ll be an Innate Martial Artist.” Xiao Yang murmured.
At that mont, the rising sun stretched the boy’s shadow long, as if foreshadowing his future.
Leaving Green Sun Town, Xiao Ye felt excited and shouted, “Chongyang Sect, here I co!”
The last ti he left Green Sun Town, he was driven away by Blood Wolf.
This ti he left for a more glorious future.
Now, the Xiao Alliance was like a newborn baby.
Only when he broke through to the Innate Realm or even the Xuanwu Realm could the Xiao Alliance thrive.
“The title of Son of County in Dahong County, I, Xiao Ye, will surely compete for it!” Xiao Ye’s eyes shone brightly with confidence.
Although he didn’t have the aid of elixirs, with the Ti Tower in hand, his cultivation had advanced through hard work, approaching the late stage of the Postnatal Realm Ninth Layer.
Coupled with the perfected Second Grade Combat Skill, Mountain Opening Fist, and Martial Arts True Intent, he was confident to stand out among the geniuses of Dahong County.
Of course, he was not complacent about his strength.
For in this examination, his opponents were geniuses from all over, whose starting points were much higher.
Who knew what thods they had?
He might have had the chance to comprehend Martial Arts True Intent, but others might too.
Moreover, to be safe, he wouldn’t easily use the Fla Saber.
“The Chongyang Sect’s examination in Dahong County is set in the county city, two thousand miles from Green Sun Town, enough ti to travel there in two months.”
Xiao Ye took out a map to the county city and after confirming the route, he set off.
With plenty of ti, Xiao Ye wasn’t in a hurry.
He trained while enjoying the scenery along the way, finding it quite pleasant.
On his first long journey, he was curious about everything.
At this mont, the Ancient Mansion in Wutan City.
Gu Chuqiu, with a sickly pale face, sat in the hall, facing a middle-aged man who bore a resemblance to him.
The middle-aged man, with a stern face, wore a silver robe with two overlapping suns embroidered on his chest.
Anyone familiar with the Black Dragon Country’s forces could tell at a glance that the overlapping suns represented the Chongyang Sect, and this middle-aged man was Gu Chudong, who had returned from the Chongyang Sect.
“Brother, that little bastard hard terribly, you must avenge !” Gu Chuqiu said angrily.
Just thinking about Xiao Ye made his anger boil uncontrollably.
Gu Chudong angrily shouted, “The grand Ancient Family was brought down by a re youth, and you’re not ashad to say it?
Gu Chuqiu, after all these years, you’re still as foolish!”
Learning that the Postnatal Pills and Jade Spirit Pills he procured were snatched by a youth, and Gu Chuqiu’s cultivation was crippled, Gu Chudong was almost bursting with rage.
In his fury, he sent people to investigate Xiao Ye’s origins, but with so many towns around Wutan City, it was like looking for a needle in a haystack.
Scolded by his own younger brother, Gu Chuqiu lowered his head and dared not retort.
In reality, Gu Chudong looked down on Gu Chuqiu, but the other was still his older brother.
“Hmph.” Gu Chudong snorted coldly, “Alright, recall those investigating.
That brat has exceptional talent and will surely participate in the Chongyang Sect’s entry examination.”
“Coincidentally, I’ve been promoted to a Silver Robed Elder of the Chongyang Sect.
I’m responsible for this Dahong County examination, and when I et that brat, I’ll definitely kill him!” Gu Chudong’s eyes flared with cold light, and the aura of the Innate Strong People he released made Gu Chuqiu feel suffocated.
“What about Chen’er?” Gu Chuqiu hurriedly asked.
Once the number one genius of Wutan City, after failing to absorb the Washing Vein Power at the Blood Cleansing Pool, Gu Chen’s cultivation stagnated at the Postnatal Realm Sixth Layer, letting Su Hao of the Su Family overtake him.
With this level of cultivation participating in the examination, achieving a high ranking would be too difficult.
Gu Chudong glanced at Gu Chen in the hall and said, “Don’t worry, let Chen’er follow .
With around, Chen’er won’t perform poorly.”
…
Soon, a month and a half passed in a flash, and Xiao Ye, having passed through eight cities, was only a hundred miles away from the county city of Dahong County.
The closer he got to the county city, the more young boys and girls he saw around, each with a sharp aura and high fighting spirit, all having Postnatal Realm cultivation.
Beside Xiao Ye, there was a boy chattering away.
“Brother Xiao, look at this beautiful scenery.”
“Brother Xiao, which city are you from?”
“Brother Xiao, with your strong cultivation, what rank do you aim to achieve?”
…
Xiao Ye’s forehead veins bulged, and he strode away, wanting to get as far away from this guy as possible.
“Hey?
Brother Xiao, slow down and wait for .” The boy behind hurriedly followed, without a bit of self-awareness.
This boy nad Shao Yan was soone he t in a city called Moonlight City, the first genius of that city, with Postnatal Realm Eighth Layer cultivation.
Initially, Xiao Ye found him to be a good-natured person and decided to travel to the county city together.
But now, Xiao Ye deeply regretted this decision because Shao Yan talked too much.
“Brother Xiao, I know I talk a lot, so my dad changed my na to Shao Yan, aning to talk less.” Shao Yan said, slightly embarrassed.
Xiao Ye glanced sideways at Shao Yan, clearly indicating, so you are aware of it.
“Kid, hand over your valuables, and I might spare your life!” As they approached a dense forest, a group of mountain bandits wielding weapons rushed out.
Xiao Ye’s eyes turned cold.
There weren’t many of these mountain bandits, only about a dozen or so, and the strongest among them was only at the Postnatal Realm Seventh Layer.
Perhaps seeing that both he and Shao Yan were just youths, they were underestimated.
“Hmph, daring to rob us, you guys are tired of living!” Just as Xiao Ye was about to act, Shao Yan stepped forward arrogantly.
At the sa ti, he unleashed an aura, barely at the Postnatal Realm Seventh Layer, matching the strongest of the mountain bandits.
Seeing this, Xiao Ye’s forehead was full of black lines, realizing this guy was planning to trick soone again.
“Postnatal Realm Seventh Layer, so he’s a genius.
But we have so many people, do you think you can handle us?” The strongest man’s aura flared, ridiculing with a grin.
Shao Yan seed frightened by the strong aura, showing a fearful expression, “Sir, don’t kill , I’ll give you all the silver.”
Saying so, he quickly handed over the silver.
“Haha, such a coward.”
The mountain bandits laughed, letting Shao Yan approach.
In the instant of approaching the bandits, a cold glint flashed in Shao Yan’s eyes.
His aura suddenly surged to the Postnatal Realm Eighth Layer, as he let out a long howl and began a massacre.
Surprised, these bandits were no match for Shao Yan and were all killed within a few breaths.
“Heh, dare to rob , I’m gonna ss you up.” Shao Yan clapped his hands triumphantly, retrieving several thousand taels of silver from the bandits’ corpses, eyes narrowing in satisfaction.
Xiao Yan’s eyes flickered with a hint of surprise.
In fact, this scene had occurred multiple tis.
Shao Yan practiced a Martial Arts Secret Skill that could hide a portion of his cultivation, said to be elusive even to Innate Strong People.
Throughout the journey, Shao Yan purposely chose areas where bandits commonly appeared and used this thod multiple tis, not tiring of it, leaving Xiao Ye speechless.
“Haha, this is so satisfying.” Shao Yan laughed, returning, “Brother Xiao, I think you’re a good person, so I’ll teach you this secret technique.”
Shao Yan pulled a booklet out of his bosom and tossed it to Xiao Ye, speaking with so mystery.
Xiao Ye was slightly surprised and instinctively caught the booklet, glancing at the cover which read ‘Hidden Qi Technique.’
“For ?” Xiao Ye felt touched.
It should be known that every Martial Arts Secret Skill is as precious as Combat Techniques and Cultivation Techniques.
“Don’t worry, this is just a handwritten copy.
The original is with my dad.” Shao Yan said nonchalantly.
Xiao Ye’s heart stirred.
If he could learn this secret skill, he might gain a surprise advantage when facing strong opponents.
“Thank you.” Xiao Ye said little, rembering this kindness and began practicing the secret technique.
With the help of the Ti Tower, he succeeded in just two days, his True Qi shrouded in a mysterious power, lowering his aura to the Postnatal Realm Eighth Layer Early Stage.
This speed amazed Shao Yan.
“Haha, brother Xiao, once you master this secret technique, you’ll thank when you reach the county city.” Shao Yan laughed.
“Why?” Xiao Ye was puzzled, not the first ti he heard him say this.
Could it be that this secret technique has other uses beyond hiding cultivation?
“Learn this secret technique, and you’ll gain lots of treasures.” Shao Yan said mysteriously.
When Xiao Ye pressed him, Shao Yan diverted the topic, leaving Xiao Ye no choice but to give up.
At this mont, in front of them, appeared a massive city filled with the aura of ti, like a ferocious beast roaring skyward.
“Dahong County City!” Xiao Ye looked at the city, his blood boiling with excitent.
