Free Web NovelChapter 214: Chapter 212: Satisfaction
Fang Yang had become the Marquis of Shiwu.
Within the Changkong Clan, Fang Yang’s name once again spread far and wide, sparking discussions among all the various families and lineages.
Without a doubt, another peerless prodigy was slowly emerging.
The news that Fang Yang had defeated Sen Cangba and the others so thoroughly that their Dao hearts were damaged spread like wildfire, fanning the flames of discussion even higher.
Even the other Golden Clans had caught wind of the matter, and they were all shaken.
"A new sprout has emerged from a withered tree. The Fang Clan has produced an incredible, peerless genius."
"If I recall correctly, Fang Yang is only twenty, right? How in the world does he cultivate, managing to grasp both ’Dao’ and ’Magic’ at the same time?"
"It’s too outrageous! Suppressing a host of experts all by himself? You’ve got to be kidding me! It’s fake. It’s all fake. I don’t believe it, I don’t believe it!"
"He did it! My Fang Clan can finally hold its head high again! We’re on the path to revival, hahaha...!" freeweɓnøvel.com
Shock, curiosity, doubt, ecstasy...
Regardless of the outside world’s reaction, the fact remained: Fang Yang had become the Tier Three Marquis of Shiwu.
Many years had passed since the fall of the Carp Eagle Saint, and the Fang Clan had been in decline ever since.
Now, the Fang Clan had finally produced another supreme figure—one who was perhaps even more formidable.
All of this led Lin Shenghuang to offer her silent praise.
It was just a pity that Fang Yang still belonged to the Sen Clan’s faction.
In a magnificent palace, luminous pearls cast their gentle glow.
Lin Shenghuang was sharing her thoughts with an old man in a cyan robe:
"Elder Su, the rumors are true. Fang Yang really did suppress Sen Cangba, Qing Xixi, and the others all on his own."
"...His Lifebound Skill has already transformed. He has forged his own path and is no longer just rigidly following the Carp Eagle’s legacy."
"...The Golden Tai Chi Diagram, the Golden Roc and the Black Kun, the conversion of yin and yang... the path of the Kun-Peng is beginning to emerge..."
The cyan-robed old man known as Elder Su nodded silently.
This Elder Su, whose full name was Su Kancai, was a Tier Seven Saint who had achieved sainthood through the Earth Dao.
He was one of the top combatants in the Changkong Clan, second only to Father Sen.
Even a century-old dynasty is fraught with internal conflicts and infighting.
So for the Changkong Clan, with its immeasurably long history, it was only natural that even more conflicts lay hidden beneath the surface.
Currently, because the Sen family had held the clan’s power for so long, a group of people who refused to submit to their rule had gradually gathered, drawn together by entangled interests.
The leader of this defiant group was none other than Su Kancai!
Of course, with Longevity Heaven overseeing everything, the internal struggles of the great Golden Clans had always maintained a state of "conflict without schism."
"Fang Yang, Fang Yang," Elder Su murmured.
Then, with a profound look in his eyes, he sighed. "Fang Yang’s talent is immense, his radiance boundless. I fear he truly has a chance to become a Kun-Peng Great Saint."
...
The Sen family’s residence.
The Purple Gold Hall.
To celebrate Sen Yue’s ascension to sainthood, the rarely seen Father Sen and Mrs. Sen came out of seclusion to join Sen Wei and Sen Hui for a family banquet.
During the banquet, Father Sen suddenly raised a topic. "Wei’Er, how did Fang Yang become the Tier Three Marquis of Shiwu?"
Father Sen was occupied with countless important matters and devoted himself to comprehending the Great Dao of heaven and earth, rarely inquiring about worldly affairs.
The moment he asked about such a worldly matter—especially one concerning a figure as special as Fang Yang—everyone at the table tacitly focused their attention.
Sen Hui, in particular, tensed slightly, her ears perked.
"It’s mainly because he can borrow the power of heaven and earth..."
Sen Wei explained slowly, a faint smile on her face.
As she spoke, a cyan lotus of light bloomed, projecting images of the battle between Fang Yang and Sen Cangba’s group.
After understanding the details, Father Sen nodded lightly. "Not bad. He is worthy of the title Marquis of Shiwu."
Hearing this, Sen Hui, who was sitting to the side, felt the corners of her eyes lift in a smile.
Her heart leaped with joy, and she was genuinely happy for Fang Yang.
Father Sen glanced sideways, casting an almost imperceptible look at Sen Hui, a hint of amusement in his eyes.
...
Just as he had declared, Fang Yang had truly become the Tier Three Marquis of Shiwu, and the Fang Clan’s territory was now like an ocean of joy.
In the past, the heavy pressure of the Carp Eagle Blessed Land had cast a deathly pall over the Fang Clan’s lands.
But after Fang Yang’s return, everything changed!
Although the pressure from the Carp Eagle Blessed Land still remained, the disciples of the Fang Clan were now full of spirit, their former gloominess gone.
But where some found joy, others naturally found sorrow.
As Fang Yang’s cousin, Fang Lanxi was also happy for him, but she couldn’t help but feel a touch of melancholy in her heart.
She had also participated in the selection for military official positions, but while Fang Yang was Tier Three, she was only Tier One.
Compared to Fang Yang, who suppressed a host of experts on the Tier Three battlefield, she had been defeated so badly that her Dao heart crumbled, forcing her to fully recognize that her strengths did not lie in combat and magical duels.
’If only I had listened to my cousin completely and not held onto that sliver of hope, I could have become a Tier One Pill Master by now...’
Fang Lanxi gazed at the remote cabin, her emotions in turmoil.
Previously, Fang Yang had both beaten and convinced her, but a tiny part of her had still clung to a sliver of hope.
’What if... what if it was just because my cousin was too strong?’
But now, after the crushing blow of this disastrous failure in the selection, she had finally come to terms with her own limitations and was at last willing to follow the path Fang Yang had laid out for her.
「Meanwhile.」
In the remote cabin.
A flash of cyan lightning flared violently before quickly subsiding.
Peace returned to the cabin once more.
It turned out that Fang Yang was refining the Cyan Thunder Rune Seed.
’The Cyan Thunder Rune Seed contains an abundance of lightning. Holding it helps the user find and absorb the lightning of heaven and earth...’
A flash of inspiration suddenly struck Fang Yang.
He suddenly realized that this Cyan Thunder Rune Seed was essentially an enhanced, Otherworld version of a power bank!
Having figured this out, a smile touched his lips.
RUMBLE...
The Cyan Thunder Rune Seed released a faint glow that flowed into the Thunder Cauldron in front of Fang Yang.
At this moment, Fang Yang was drawing the vast lightning from within the Cyan Thunder Rune Seed and condensing it into the Thunder Cauldron, which represented his Sea of Thunder technique.
He discovered this ’recycling’ process was many times faster than painstakingly collecting lightning during a thunderstorm. A truly joyous development.
In addition to this, he also tried circulating the Swallowing Whale Skill to devour the lightning from the Cyan Thunder Rune Seed.
To his pleasant surprise, he saw that this also accelerated the refinement of his Fire Eagle Illusion.
By his estimation, the refinement of the Fire Eagle Illusion had already surpassed the 90% mark!
Overjoyed, he calculated that at his current rate of progress, he would almost certainly break through to the Tier Four Elementary realm during the Hundred Meridians Martial Gathering.
Of course, he had no intention of suppressing his own advancement.
This was because while he was guarding the thirty-sixth pass of the Tier Three path, his realm would naturally be suppressed at Tier Three Peak.
By this logic, once the Hundred Meridians Martial Gathering ended and the suppressive effect of the Tier Three path dissipated, he would smoothly advance to the Tier Four Elementary realm.
Besides, if a Tier Four opportunity like the Cyan Thunder Rune Seed was already this amazing...
...wouldn’t an even greater one let him soar?
’That bastard Fang Nian couldn’t even break into the top 100 of the Human Ranking when he first entered the Thunder Saint Academy.’
’If it weren’t for Sen Yuanyuan’s help, he would have been left in the dust by his peers, without even a chance to catch up.’
’But as for me, upon entering the Thunder Saint Academy, I’ll already be beyond the Human Ranking, an object of admiration and pursuit for my peers.’
’Win!’
A faint smile on his face, Fang Yang rose to his feet.
At that moment, having made the comparison, he felt a sense of utter satisfaction wash over him. He felt absolutely fantastic.
