I Break through Crazily

Chapter 16: Chapter 15: Cyan Cloud Pill and White Snow Sword

’None of these three are easy to deal with!’

’Any single one of them is stronger than anyone from the Tang Family present, even more powerful than my father, Tang Haotian.’

’They’re basically three super-powerful, humanoid final bosses!’

’And Shangguan Siyu actually has several Earth Tier Martial Techniques, and even a Finishing Move just like my Mountain Shattering Earth Splitting Slash!’

Tang Yi had seen the power of a Finishing Move with his own eyes!

’Good thing I didn’t do anything reckless!’

Tang Yi was secretly relieved. ’No wonder, no wonder they dared to come to the Tang Family to annul the engagement!’

’And me...’

’I’ve only just reached the level of a Five-Star Battle Master. I have an Earth Tier Martial Technique, but they have more. I finally managed to get a weapon, but it turns out I can’t even use it!’

’I won’t accept this!’

’This is so unfair!’

Tang Yi felt wronged and frustrated. ’I really want to just leave right now, go to the Wind Moon Forest to grind for two or three months, level up, and then come back for revenge!’

"Clan Leader Tang, I know this is asking a lot, but for the sake of Master Zi, please just annul the engagement." Seeing Tang Haotian’s silence, Master Yuda sighed softly and tried to persuade him.

"I know the Shangguan Family is in the wrong here for violating the agreement made by the elders of both our families. However, this isn’t without its benefits for the Tang Family. Master Zi said that if the Tang Family is willing to annul the engagement, he will grant you a Cyan Cloud Pill."

"The Cyan Cloud Pill allows for a meteoric rise. I’ve heard that Tang Yi cannot cultivate. Obtaining this Cyan Cloud Pill is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Perhaps after taking it, he will be able to embark on the path of cultivation."

As he spoke, Master Yuda took out a small, jade-green vial and placed it on the table.

"Oh?" Tang Haotian’s eyes flickered. He hadn’t expected the Purple Cloud Sect to be willing to part with a Cyan Cloud Pill just to get the Tang Family to accept the annulment.

If Tang Haotian hadn’t seen last night that Tang Yi already possessed strength and wasn’t a good-for-nothing who couldn’t cultivate, he might have agreed immediately upon hearing the words "Cyan Cloud Pill."

But now...

"A Cyan Cloud Pill!"

Hearing those three words, everyone from the Tang Family was shocked. The Cyan Cloud Pill was a worldly Treasure. The saying "a divine pill for a meteoric rise" was coined just for it.

One could only take a Cyan Cloud Pill once in a lifetime. It offered a chance to restore the Spirit Veins of those unable to cultivate, granting them the ability to do so once more. For those already on the path, it could accelerate their cultivation speed. With a bit of luck, taking one pill could increase the level of anyone below the Battle Grandmaster rank by one to five stars—all with zero side effects!

It wouldn’t be an exaggeration to call it a Divine Pill for anyone below the Battle Grandmaster Level!

For the Purple Cloud Sect to be willing to use this Cyan Cloud Pill as compensation showed just how determined they were to annul the engagement.

"Is Clan Leader Tang still not satisfied?" Master Yuda was a little surprised to see Tang Haotian only glance at the Cyan Cloud Pill on the table before looking away, seemingly unmoved. He thought to himself, ’Is even a Cyan Cloud Pill not enough to sway Tang Haotian?’

’Doesn’t he care about others mocking Tang Yi?’

On the Saint Martial Continent, the strong were revered. A good-for-nothing who couldn’t cultivate would find it very difficult to survive.

With Tang Haotian around, Tang Yi was safe, of course. But what if Tang Haotian passed away? How would Tang Yi survive? How would he continue the family line?

’The Cyan Cloud Pill is an opportunity right in front of him. Why isn’t Tang Haotian seizing it?’

This left Master Yuda completely bewildered.

He had thought that a Cyan Cloud Pill would at least make Tang Haotian relent a little, making the annulment less of an effort. But it seemed the other party couldn’t care less about it.

Gritting his teeth, Master Yuda took out a shining white Treasure Sword from his luggage and said, "This sword is called White Snow. It’s an Earth Tier Lower Grade weapon. If Clan Leader Tang can accept the annulment, then this sword will belong to the Tang Family."

"What!"

"An Earth Tier Lower Grade weapon!"

"The White Snow Treasure Sword!"

"The Shangguan Family is really going all out this time!"

When they saw Master Yuda follow up the Cyan Cloud Pill by taking out an Earth Tier weapon as part of the deal, the members of the Tang Family were all stunned.

In fact, they were even more shocked than when he had presented the Cyan Cloud Pill!

That was an Earth Tier weapon!!

No matter how amazing the Cyan Cloud Pill was, it could only be used by people who couldn’t cultivate or those below the Battle Grandmaster Level, which made its application much more limited.

But an Earth Tier Treasure Sword was different. Anyone could use it.

The stronger the user, the more power they could draw from an Earth Tier Treasure Sword!

A top-tier Battle Grandmaster wielding an Earth Tier Treasure Sword might even have a chance of defeating a Battle Spirit Level expert.

This showed just how massive a boost an Earth Tier Treasure Sword could provide to one’s strength!

On the Saint Martial Continent, many Loose Cultivators didn’t even have a decent weapon; most still used unranked Mortal Iron Weapons. The weapons of Noble Families were mostly Yellow Tier. Even Tang Haotian’s own weapon was, at best, a Yellow Tier Upper Grade one.

Extremely low-end!

Getting an Earth-tier Weapon was like someone trading a kitchen knife for a cannon, wasn’t it?

The boost in strength wouldn’t be just a tiny bit!

Therefore, after Master Yuda presented the Earth Tier Treasure Sword, the Tang Family’s Elders and disciples all revealed looks of intense desire, their eyes burning, wishing they could snatch the sword away and cradle it in their hands that very instant.

The Cyan Cloud Pill and the White Snow Sword. Both were extraordinary items. If it were one of the Tang Family’s Elders or their children whose engagement was being annulled, they would have agreed to it immediately for just one of these items. They would have snatched the gift and left, giving the other party no chance to back out.

Unfortunately...

After all, they weren’t the Tang Family Patriarch, nor was it their children’s engagement. They had no say in the matter. The decision to annul or not still rested with Tang Haotian, the Clan Leader and the father of the person involved.

However, Tang Haotian merely glanced at it before turning his gaze back to Tang Yi. It seemed that he didn’t think much of the White Snow Sword either.

"Clan Leader Tang!" Seeing that presenting two treasures had failed to move him, Situ Qingfeng, who had been silent all this time, finally spoke up. "This engagement is one that our Master Zi personally wants annulled. I think it would be best for your Tang Family to know what’s good for you. The Purple Cloud Sect is not an existence the Tang Family can afford to provoke!"

His tone was icy cold and full of unconcealed threat.

"Oh? And who might you be?" Tang Haotian turned his head and asked, his eyes narrowing slightly.

Tang Haotian could feel a powerful aura coming from the young man.

His strength surpassed his own!

Situ Qingfeng looked to be about the same age as Tang Yi. ’To have such strength at such a young age... as expected of the Purple Cloud Sect.’

’If only my son, Tang Yi, had such strength...’

He turned to look at Tang Yi. From beginning to end, after hearing about the annulment, Tang Yi had shown no major reaction aside from some slight surprise at the start. That composure, that calmness, that air about him... he had truly changed immensely.
