“Now, you all sound mighty fierce indeed! It Iooks like you didn’t really exert yourselves last night nor have you reached your limits. Otherwise, how would you have the strength to curse and swear now? Young people are great, possessing an excellent ability to recover quickly. I think I can tune it up so more. Training is only effective when it’s done in it’s most extre form…” Dong Qitian huffed.
” How could you say we didn’t reach our limits? We gave our all last night. We couldn’t even move in the end.”
“Please judge wisely, chief trainer. We did exert as much as we could last night. Our limbs still feel like jelly now, we feel utterly depleted…”
“Let ask you then. What enlightennt did you acquire from the battle process? Was there any form of realization?”
“Uh…”
“This… seems like…”
“I didn’t feel much… just pain…”
“Other than pure agony, what… else… is there to be felt?”
“None…”
Dong Qitian nodded and said, “Very well. No realizations, excellent. Since you have not co to any enlightennt, we shall continue training tonight, until you gain so insights!”
He walked away as he spoke, but his words ca from afar, “I need to see a few of you with broken bones tomorrow morning.”
Moans ca from the room.
“No…”
“Today’s horrible enough. Why are we continuing…”
“Oh my God… Is this training? This is outright murder…”
“Is this the Residence of Nine Supres or hell…”
“Have rcy…”
“Help …”
It was too bad that Dong Qitian had already wandered off quite a distance, but even if he had heard them, he would have ignored them anyway.
…
“The chief instructor’s cultivation base is striking.”
Gu Jiuxiao clicked his tongue and comnted, “He’s already level four of Saint from what we could see, about the capability of an ordinary sect’s leader… I wonder where the child found him.”
“Not bad indeed but he doesn’t look familiar - probably a recently ascended ace cultivator,” Xiao Yushu said reservedly, stroking his beard.
“Fourth level Saint is indeed a noteworthy expert, especially precious for the current Residence of Nine Supres,” Feng Guohai looked comforted by the fact, nodding patronizingly.
…
Dong Qitian passed from afar, scoffing internally.
‘You fools, of course you only see a level four Saint on the surface.’
‘With my cultivation base, of course you can only see what I want you to see!’
‘As for more…’
…
The General Comrce League acted notably quickly.
It was only the third night when an unusual wind-breaking cry tore through the gloom, deafening in the sky like a dragon’s call or a tiger’s roar.
An earth-shattering voice spoke, “Where is Feng Guohai, from the comrce league?”
A lofty aura preceded the echoing voice.
The Residence of Nine Supres was protected by its guarding formation, remaining untested by the pressure, so the effect was not significant. In spite of this, all the trees within hundreds of miles around the mountain guarding formation bent uniformly from the power, like officials paying respect to their king.
Being in his room, Dong Qitian only raised his eyes faintly before he rolled them and went back into unconcerned slumber.
Yun Yang was swift to react, unlocking the guarding formation, and saw five silhouettes landing gently.
The leading one was sturdy in build; who else could it be if not Lang Fantian. It was the four elders behind him whom Yun Yang did not know, all strangers to him.
As he ran his eyes across the group, he noticed that two of them were already hunched and bony with silver strands on their head and wrinkles lining their face. Age spots were littered across their faces and their eyes were murky without any light. Their pulses were weak and wilting, a tiny draw of air after so mont. Every aspect was showing how senile they were.
Perhaps their state was worse than what was seen because they ca being held by the other two n.
Understandably, if these two had co on their own, the depletion of this journey would have further shortened their counted breaths. Worse, it could cost their lives.
As for the other two elders who held them, they were also very senior in age, well past their pri, despite looking better than the two forr n.
Yun Yang rushed out to welco them personally.
“Brother Yun! Hahaha… Brother Yun, we et again!” Lang Fantian took a large stride over, spilling warmth as he grabbed and shook Yun Yang’s hand continuously, “Brother, you’ve worked hard, oh you have.”
He acted like they were blood brothers who were separated for years, suddenly eting in a chaotic, war-torn street. The surprise, the elation…
Yun Yang who was on the receiving end of his tidal friendliness was very much taken aback and eventually managed to respond, “Cough… Vice Chief Lang… you need not be so courteous…”
“I should, I should!”
Another wave of hearty laughter later, Lang Fantian lowered his voice and said, “I’ve never expected the goods you prepared this ti to actually be such rare items… It’s really wonderful!”
Yun Yang coughed and answered, “Alright, alright. Please do let go of my hands first!”
He thought, ‘The Qi of vitality is but the lowest grade among what Emmie has… Its Force of the Soul, Qi of Dao, Celestial Athyst Qi, the spiritual energy of pulse… aren’t even used yet.’
‘Here he is, already beyond elated… I must adjust my plan then… How can I not utilize it further when I have the commodity?’
“Co, co. Let introduce them first, brother. These two are the General Comrce League’s herald elders, Heaven Sword, and Earth Saber. They’re the league’s elders since the General Comrce League upgraded to middle-class Celestial Luck Banner twenty thousand years ago. Throughout these years, they’ve risked their lives for the league and contributed significantly, basically our ritorious officials.”
Lang Fantian pointed to the two old n who were close to becoming skeletons.
The two old n tried their best to straighten up, their muddy gaze locking onto Yun Yang.
“I’m Heaven Sword, Song Changgong.”
“I’m Earth Saber, Li Yixin.”
The two elders sighed in unison.
“We’re no longer what our nicknas are… We can’t even wield the sword and saber now… The nas Heaven Sword and Earth Saber are only for laughs now.”
The other two n intercepted in respect, “Seniors are venerable n. Your effort is incomparable in making the General Comrce League what it is today!”
“These two are our league’s Protectors, Wan Qingliu and Bai Yuxi,” Lang Fantian introduced along.
“Nice to et you.”
Yun Yang bowed ceaselessly with his palm cupping his fist before his chest.
“I’ve long heard your great nas. Now that I get to see all of you in person, it’s my lifeti honor!”
Lang Fantian rolled his eyes.
‘Aren’t your words rolling from your tongue too smoothly? You’re obviously making it up… I’d be a fool to believe you.’
