Free Web NovelChapter 137: Chapter 137: Thick-skinned
An endless origin of thunder pervaded the vast void, but Li Yang could only sense a mere sliver of it.
But even this tiny sliver caused his power to increase dramatically!
"Sensing a sliver of the Thunder Law in ten minutes... your Thunder Star Beast avatar’s comprehension speed is about average."
Soul Ink could tell at a glance that Li Yang had comprehended a bit of the Thunder Law. He smiled. "So? You feel what a Law is like now, don’t you?"
"Yeah." Li Yang nodded. He thought for a moment before asking, "Soul Ink, does this mean I can break through to the Law Realm now?"
"You think it’s that easy?"
Hearing this, Soul Ink rolled his eyes. "To break through to the Law Realm, you need more than just a sliver of comprehension. You have to reach a certain level. However... given the Talent of your Thunder Star Beast avatar, you should be able to attempt a breakthrough in a month at the latest." frёeωebɳovel.com
Many people accidentally touch upon a Law, like guessing the correct answer on a multiple-choice question, but their understanding is still incomplete.
Only when you truly make it your own and understand it completely can you step into the Law Realm!
’A month?’ Li Yang nodded. That wasn’t a long time. He could take his time and focus on his comprehension.
...
Li Yang continued to focus on comprehending the Law. On the second day of his training, both Li Guohai and Zhao Rou successfully reached the King Level!
"So this is what it feels like to fly?"
Li Guohai’s face was a mask of excitement and exhilaration as his body floated in the air.
Even with his usually calm disposition, he couldn’t help but feel utterly thrilled!
Beside him, Zhao Rou felt the same way.
Becoming King Level Cultivators was something they had never even dared to dream of.
Li Yang watched them with a smile.
’Mom and Dad are both at the King Level now,’ he thought. ’I don’t have to worry about them being in danger anymore.’
There were only about twenty people on the entire planet who could possibly threaten his parents!
KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK!
Just then, there was a knock at the door.
Zhao Rou went to open the door, letting in Zhao Qianxing, Zhao Kun, and a few others.
Seeing that thick-skinned old bastard Zhao Qianxing, the smile on Li Yang’s face vanished.
He knew that when the news of his "death" in the Relic Space had spread, Zhao Qianxing had immediately left Coastal City.
This act, of course, only deepened Li Yang’s disgust for the man.
After a single glance at Zhao Qianxing, Li Yang looked away and turned to Li Guohai. "Dad, now that you’ve broken through to the King Level, I redeemed a Sword Technique for you. Let me explain it."
Li Guohai understood why Li Yang was saying this and nodded with a smile. "Alright."
The father and son went into the back room. Zhao Qianxing’s face was a mask of shock as he asked, "Xiaorou, what did Li Yang mean just now about Guohai and King Level?"
He knew that Li Guohai and Zhao Rou had been taking Spirit Fruits to rapidly increase their strength over the past few days.
Zhao Rou said softly, "Dad, Guohai and I have both broken through to the King Level."
"The King Level..."
Hearing this confirmation, Zhao Qianxing was completely shaken.
The King Level—a realm of beings like Land Immortals.
’The daughter I drove out of the house, and the son-in-law I always looked down on... they’ve both reached it?’
For a moment, Zhao Qianxing was overcome with a complex mix of emotions.
’If only I’d helped Li Guohai back then... Xiaoxiang would surely be at the King Level by now,’ Zhao Qianxing thought, his heart filled with regret.
Back in the Relic Space, Li Yang had obtained numerous Spirit Fruits: Three-Striped Golden Fruits to increase one’s power, and Purple Gold Fruits to help break through to the King Level...
He had obtained all of them in full view of everyone.
Now, with the help of Li Yang’s Spirit Fruits, Li Guohai and Zhao Rou—two ordinary people—had been pushed all the way to the King Level!
And Zhao Xiang was already a Cultivator. If the Zhao family had been on good terms with Li Guohai, he could have easily asked Li Yang for a few Spirit Fruits. Then, Zhao Xiang’s breakthrough to the King Level would have been effortless!
Though filled with regret, Zhao Qianxing could only swallow his feelings. He put on a broad smile and said, "Excellent, excellent! Li Yang is so capable. Xiaorou, you and Guohai truly have a wonderful son."
After saying this, Zhao Qianxing couldn’t resist adding, "Xiaorou, could you ask Li Yang if he has any Spirit Fruits left? Your nephew, Zhao Xiang, is currently at the Earth-Level. He faced a perilous situation recently because he wasn’t strong enough and nearly died. If he could just get a little stronger... He doesn’t need to reach the King Level, just getting to the Celestial Level would be enough..."
Zhao Qianxing shamelessly pressed on, playing the sympathy card. Zhao Rou, as his aunt, had looked after Zhao Xiang when he was little.
"Xiaoxiang was in great danger? He almost died?"
Hearing this, the color drained from Zhao Rou’s face.
But a troubled look crossed her face. "Dad, those Spirit Fruits all belong to Yangyang..."
She didn’t feel it was her place to ask her son for them.
"It’s fine, Xiaorou. Just ask him. If Li Yang isn’t willing, then we’ll just forget about it," Zhao Qianxing said quickly. freēwēbnovel.com
Since Zhao Qianxing put it that way, Zhao Rou could only say, "I’ll give it a try, then."
...
Out on the balcony, Li Guohai said with a smile, "Yangyang, you said that on purpose just now, didn’t you?"
"Of course." Li Yang nodded, a hint of disdain in his eyes. "Dad, you’re a King Level expert now. Zhao Qianxing has no choice but to curry favor with you. You can give him the cold shoulder whenever you feel like it. A pragmatist like him would never get angry."
Li Guohai could only sigh helplessly. Even if he had considered it, he would never treat Zhao Qianxing that way in front of Zhao Rou.
"Yangyang."
Just then, Zhao Rou came over. After a slight hesitation, she relayed Zhao Qianxing’s request.
"Give Spirit Fruits to Zhao Xiang?"
Li Yang rejected the idea outright. "Mom, I’m not giving any Spirit Fruits to the Zhao family. If they want some, they can go find their own."
Li Yang sneered inwardly. ’So Zhao Qianxing thinks he can get something from me?’
His parents might have a connection to the Zhao family, but he certainly didn’t.
In the future, no matter what treasures he obtained, he would never give any to the Zhao family.
...
With his parents now at the King Level, Li Yang could finally put his mind at ease and focus most of his energy on his own cultivation.
In his spare time, he would go to Coastal University to see Zhou Yao, and their relationship quickly grew warmer.
"Zhou Yao, your boyfriend’s here."
As Li Yang arrived at the university, he saw Zhou Yao walking with a few other girls. When they spotted him, they started giggling.
They were Zhou Yao’s roommates.
Of course, Zhou Yao also had her own place off-campus, but she occasionally stayed in the dorm.
"Li Yang."
A happy smile blossomed on Zhou Yao’s face when she saw Li Yang, and she quickly trotted over to him.
"Let’s go."
Li Yang smiled, took Zhou Yao’s hand, gave a slight nod to the other girls, and led her away.
"Sigh, Yaoyao is totally head over heels," a tall, beautiful girl lamented.
Another, shorter girl giggled. "Zhang Yan, Li Yang is a total catch! He’s tall and handsome. If I had a boyfriend like that, I’d be smiling in my sleep."
