Chapter 113 The Martial Saint's Blessing
Originally, one needed comprehension to get started, but Ye Kang only had that right now.
"I don't know if it will work, but let's give it a try. System, comprehend the Immovable Demon Body of the Bright King."
【Ding】
[The Martial Saint's Blessing Begins]
[Blessings received by the host: Enlightenment at the beginner level is halved; the Immovable Demon Body of the Bright King gains enhanced Rage; new martial arts effect: as the host's Rage value increases, martial arts gain a temporary Rage Aura.]
Ye Kang was overjoyed.
It works!
Immediately after gaining enlightenment, Ye Kang closed his eyes, as if becoming a novice monk before the Buddha, chanting scriptures and meditating day after day, until his faith finally collapsed and he fell into the demonic path.
He used Buddhist teachings to refine his demonic body and discovered that the power of his demonic arts was directly proportional to his anger. At the height of his anger, several halos even appeared around his demonic form, enhancing his power...
Bang!
Ye Kang woke up with a start, a few drops of cold sweat already on his face.
The demonic arts were too powerful; even though I had only just begun to understand them, I already felt my soul being subtly influenced by the demonic path.
【Ding】
[Congratulations, host, on mastering the supreme innate martial art: the Immovable Demon Body of the Bright King]
……
Ye Kang quickly circulated his internal energy, and after several small cycles, his breathing became completely stable.
With the mastery of demonic arts, his strength increased once again.
However, Ye Kang was not at ease. After breaking through to the seventh rank, he could feel that further improvement was becoming increasingly difficult.
"I'm afraid even if the Imperial Supreme Heaven-Piercing Technique is raised to the sixth level, it will be difficult to break through to the eighth rank directly. Oh well, let's take it one step at a time."
He once again demonstrated his good quality of not getting bogged down in details and brought up the system panel.
[Host: Ye Kang]
Martial Arts: Imperial Supreme Heaven-Piercing Skill (Fifth Level), Bright King Immovable Demon Body (Beginner), Chaos Strike (Beginner), Hundred Flowers Sword Finger (Great Perfection), Shadow Piercing Step (Minor Success), Spirit Butterfly Thousand Illusions Body (Beginner), Hidden Yuan Qi Concealing Technique (Beginner), Blazing Flame Blade (Great Perfection), Yi Wood Heart Sutra (Great Perfection), Flying Swallow Soaring Clouds (Great Perfection), White Tiger Breaking Kill Blade (Great Perfection)
[Demon Martial Arts: Catfish Demon Water Suppression Technique (Beginner)]
[Strength: Seventh Rank Innate]
[Remaining Comprehension: 4000]
……
"The martial arts panel is getting longer and longer. Each of these martial arts has its own unique uses, but it's a pity that it's too complicated. Many of them don't have enough comprehension to upgrade. It would be great if they could be integrated together."
Ye Kang sighed.
【Ding】
[Tip: What's meant to happen will happen, no rush]
"..."
The system is quite cheeky.
It seems that the function of integrating martial arts does exist, but it hasn't been activated yet, so there's no rush.
Ye Kang concealed his true energy, ensuring that his aura was not revealed, and then flew down the mountain.
Ye Kang was thrilled to be able to stay in the air for the first time without using his lightness skill, relying solely on his inner energy.
Like a free bird that has finally conquered the vast sky.
Unfortunately, they only had a few dozen breaths to conquer it, but not completely.
Seeing him fly down, Xie Yuan and Chong Xuzi both had complicated expressions.
Xie Yuan, in particular, looked as if he had seen a ghost.
"You brat, how come your breakthrough is as easy as drinking water? You were only a few ranks when you first came to the Xie family! This is too fast!"
Chongxuzi then said, "Some geniuses are born with an extremely strong comprehension of martial arts. Before reaching a bottleneck, their martial arts training is smooth and unimpeded. I presume you are one of them."
Ye Kang smiled and said, "You're right."
Without saying much, the three of them hurriedly rode back to Jinling City.
Xie Yuan was in a hurry to go back home that night to watch the moon with his family.
The journey was uneventful, and the three of them arrived back at the gates of Jinling City as night fell.
Chongxuzi cupped his hands slightly and said, "I will see you off here. Head east and I will return to my Chongtian Temple."
Xie Yuan and Ye Kang quickly returned the greeting.
Chongxuzi then took out a section of emerald green lotus root from his wide sleeves and handed it to Ye Kang, saying, "This precious plant is something I obtained from the Poyang Lake a few days ago. It is called Green Jade Lotus Root. It is beneficial to the body after eating it. I only got two sections. I used one section myself, and I will give this section to you."
Chongxuzi, as expected of a righteous Taoist, kept his word and did not forget to return the courtesy.
Furthermore, he was genuinely considering what to give. He had seen Ye Kang bid for the treasure map at the auction and guessed that Ye Kang was interested in the precious plant that could enhance the physical body, which was why he chose this half of a lotus root.
As expected, Ye Kang looked pleasantly surprised and said, "Daoist Master, you are too kind."
While awkwardly declining, he put the lotus root into his pocket, overjoyed.
Exchanging a useless copy of the "Floating Cloud Sword Manual" for a section of a precious plant is a really good deal.
He added, "Actually, I still have quite a few useless secret manuals here. Do you want them, Daoist?"
Chongxuzi smiled and shook his head: "No, I have already collected all 100 manuals. If I take any more, it will be difficult for my junior brothers and sisters who go down the mountain to train later."
"Master, you are truly wise and righteous. I admire you greatly. If you know any junior brothers or sisters who come down the mountain, please be sure to introduce them to me first!"
"perhaps."
Chongxuzi smiled calmly, then spurred his horse and rode away.
Seeing Ye Kang's cheerful expression, Xie Yuan whispered, "My dear grandson, we actually have a precious plant in our storeroom that's good for your health. If you need it, you can ask your second maternal grandfather for it."
"What! Just one plant?"
Ye Kang looked disappointed.
Xie Yuan was immediately furious. He thought the boy was just embarrassed to take it, but it turned out he was just complaining that there wasn't enough precious plant. He was truly insatiable.
He said no more, then changed the subject, saying, "Go home. This matter is over, and I have fulfilled my obligation to you."
Upon hearing this, Ye Kang's expression turned serious.
Under the moonlight, he bowed deeply to Xie Yuan.
"Thank you very much for your help, Third Grandfather. I will remember it forever."
Xie Yuan waved his hand and said, "No need. You've probably guessed it already. I'm not simply helping you."
"I do have some guesses. Could it be because of Third Grandfather's blood relatives?"
"You are indeed clever, so I won't keep you in suspense any longer. This time, I owe you something. Do you remember Xie Zhu and Xie Qingyuan, whom you injured when you first came to the Xie residence?"
Ye Kang nodded and said, "Of course I remember. They must be from the same lineage as Third Grandfather."
“That’s right, they are my grandsons. Their father, my fourth son, is named Xueting. The day you were attacked by the assassin, it was related to him.”
Upon hearing this, Ye Kang's expression became subtle.
Ye Kang couldn't find the source of those assassins suspected to be sent by the Wang family, nor did he know why they wanted to kill him.
So the problem originated from the Xie family.
Xie Yuan quickly added, "Don't overthink it. It was indeed Xue Ting who went to ask Wang Yintai of the Wang family to help teach you a lesson, but I'm willing to swear on my life that Xue Ting only asked Wang Yintai to teach you a lesson, and he had absolutely no intention of killing you!"
“But the assassins I encountered afterward were all after my life.” Ye Kang’s tone turned cold.
Xie Yuan sighed, "That was beyond Xue Ting's control. You killed Wang Yintai's men, so naturally he wanted revenge. As things progressed, Xue Ting became an outsider and had no choice but to come to me..."
Xie Yuan's eyelids drooped, and his face seemed to have a few more wrinkles.
When his child makes a mistake, Xie Yuan can only make amends with everything he has.
Parents' hearts are truly filled with love and worry.
Ye Kang met his gaze and remained silent for a long time.
Finally, he burst into laughter and said, "Third Grandfather, don't worry, I'll only cause trouble for Wang Yintai. As for Uncle Xueting, Third Grandfather can handle that."
"You don't blame him?"
“That’s strange. One thing at a time, that’s why I left it to you, Third Grandfather, to handle. But I will not forget your kindness in risking your life to help me today. Let’s leave it at that and go back. We still need to see the moon.”
