“The Grand Elder is mighty!” The Feather Guards seated on the spirit birds erupted in cheers as they saw Mi Yang, with a single blow, send Tang Sen underground.

However, from their elated position high in the sky, they could not see how gloomy the face of the elderly man in green had become.

“This bastard’s power has gotten stronger yet again!” Mi Yang could feel a faint throbbing pain in his right fist, he thought to himself with agitation.

As a peak martial artist of the Fierce Realm, or even as a carrier of the Divine Wood lineage, he truly could not fathom how an Earth Level Five spiritual power bloodline could become such a freak of nature. The person only entered into the Fierce Realm a few years ago, and yet his physical strength had already far surpassed Mi Yang’s, who was a peak martial artist of the Fierce Realm.

Especially after obtaining the Fierce Qilin Heavy Earth Armor, not only had this person not been eroded by the spiritual soul of the savage Earth Qilin beast, but he had also managed to fuse it and awaken the Earth controlling power of the Qilin. His fusion of air and strength had metamorphosed him into the Golden Rock Battle Body, which had earned him the title of an Earth Spirit.

He heard the cheers of the Feather Guards resound in his ears. But as the Grand Elder of Mi Family, he felt anything but elated. That was because he knew, he had only emerged victorious in just the mid-air collision because his spiritual power was stronger. However, he knew too well that Tang Sen, who was protected by Divine Armor, had not suffered any injury, and the shockwave he had released, based on his strength, was also incapable of sending injury through his Divine Armor to the body, which was now comparable to King Realm.

But, all had been within expectation. He should not have collided with Tang Sen in this clash in the first place; it was only the matter of life or death of Mi Chu that had caused the centurion elder to lose his composure.

“What a fool, little Chu!” Mi Yang was filled with heartache. The Mi Clan’s Wind Media Department was top-notch, and the news of Mi Chu’s life-or- death battle had been relayed back as soon as he had lost. However, under Mi Jing’s supervision, no one thought that Mi Chu was in danger.

After all, there had been no precedent of Tang and Mi Clans’ main disciples dying in these skirmishes among young people. Even if they had been defeated, they would have not met with actual death since they had the Fierce Realm guards to protect them.

But the Wind Media Department was focused more on analyzing Tang Luo’s bloodline abilities. The power of that changing silver giant was too formidable, with no openings found on both the offensive and defensive ends. Even though it cost a lot of energy to search for a piece of information regarding this kind of bloodline ability, it would not lead to discovering nothing. But who would have thought that while Wind Media Department was still focusing on analyzing Tang Luo’s bloodline, they received news of a group of martial artists from the Beast Taming Sect organization carrying out a sudden attack on Tang Qjan and Tang Luo?

“Damn dogs!” When he heard the news from the Wind Media Department, Mi Yang swore aloud, his eyes brimming with rage.

They say like master, like man. Mi Chu’s audacity had affected his followers’ character into recklessly throwing themselves into protecting their master.

Even if the ransom talks had failed, as long as Mi Chu did not initiate the attack, Tang Clan would absolutely not exterminate all of them. This was the premise of peace in Xiling, besides being an agreement between both clans. However, all this was utterly destroyed with the witch hunt presided over by Yan Ling.

It is when a family grows to a certain extent that one realizes how important a top-class warrior is. That’s because the resources that an ordinary martial artist can control are really limited. Even if a family provided unlimited resources, a martial artist would still soon hit a bottleneck. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

That was why the world’s powerful families usually have their own signature martial artists. How many precious conditions does it take to cultivate a top-flight powerhouse?

Firstly, that person must be a direct line descendant of the family, then they must possess extraordinarily high talent and an intense love of the martial arts, and have the endurance for the solitude that martial arts practice entails.

It would be best for them to awaken their bloodline power. If they do not have a bloodline, then at least they should have a high suitability for a Secret Art, otherwise, no amount of resources supplied by the family would have any effect.

Because ordinary martial artists need limited resources, they can only enhance power through external forces. But with items like spiritual weapons and treasures, if you have them, so can others. If everyone holds the same advantage, these will cancel each other out, and in the end, what a warrior can really rely on is his own power.

The reason why Xiao Jinlin is regarded as the strongest in Xiling is because he has an exceptionally high aptitude for the Xiao Family’s secret art, the Monument Dragon Diagram.

This secret art, while not ostensibly powerful, involves inscribing a magic circle on the body and continuously infusing it with various types of spiritual power to cultivate a variety of dragon shadows. During battle, not only does the user have access to Spirit Arts, but the dragon shadows can assist in the attack without consuming any spiritual power. As a martial artist’s mastery over different types of spiritual power increases, and their understanding of the Monument Dragon Diagram deepens, they will be able to store increasing amounts of spiritual power, and the number of dragon shadows can increase from one to a maximum of nine.

Although the power of the dragon shadow diminishes as the spiritual power within the Monument Dragon Diagram is depleted and needs to be replenished, this secret art enables the members of the Xiao Family to demonstrate power far beyond that of ordinary martial artists in battle. With this secret art of the Monument Dragon Diagram, the Xiao family firmly maintains the third- ranking position in Xiling.

It is quite an achievement for a person to cultivate their Monument Dragon Diagram to the level of nine dragons in their lifetime. However, the strongest individual in the Xiao family, not only reached the Divine Dragon Shadow level but also exceeded its limits, inscribing three full sets of Monument Dragon Diagrams on his body.

If it wasn’t for the tremendous consumption of spiritual power by the Monument Dragon Diagram, which prevents prolonged battles, Xiao Jinlin, with his two Divine Dragon Shadows and seven Elemental Dragon Shadows, would be nearly unbeatable.

Ultimately, the reason why Xiao Jinlin was able to transform the Monument Dragon Diagram from something ordinary to extraordinary is because he awakened the second-rank Earth Level bloodline – the Earth Spirit Body.

This bloodline ability allows him to perfectly control the spiritual power within his body. Attributes of spiritual power, which are extremely difficult for ordinary people to cultivate and control, are at his fingertips. Each attribute of spiritual power corresponds to a dragon shadow; Xiao Jinlin cultivated a total of twenty-five different spiritual power attributes.

This allows him to handle any opponent with ease. Even Miyang admits that he isn’t confident of defeating Xiao Jinlin at least until the spiritual power in his three Monument Dragon Diagrams is depleted. Except for those who have reached the King Realm, no one dares to claim that they are sure to defeat Xiao Jinlin.

Up until a decade ago, the Mi Family was represented by him, a member with a fourth-class Divine Wood bloodline. It’s probably that the Heaven could not stand to see the Tang Clan having Tang Sen, and the Xiao Family having Xiao Jinlin, and thus awakened the third-class Beast Soul bloodline in Mi Chu. No one knows how ecstatic the top echelons of the Mi Family were when the bloodline validation was confirmed.

There is no bloodline more suitable for the Mi Clan than the Beast Soul bloodline. The greatest pride of the Mi Family, which originates from bird hunters, is the Beast Taming Secret Method. Even after thousands of years of evolution, the Mi Family believes that it has reached the limit in training flying beasts and is in no way inferior to the Beast Taming Sect.

Their only limitation is that they are unable to catalyze the growth of flying beasts. For a spiritual bird to grow into a beast, aside from its own talents, the passing of a long time period is also a huge test for the Mi Family.

However, with Mi Chu, this will no longer be a constraint for the Mi Family. Once he enters the Fierce Realm, his ability to catalyze the growth of beasts will greatly increase. At that time, the bird fighters, all with beast mounts within the Fierce Realm, will be able to sweep across the west of Longzhou, unifying both banks of the Lingjiang river.

“A mere hundred billion gold, equivalent to half a gold mine. Why not give it to the Tang Clan? Oh, Chu!!” Miyang cried, overcome with grief.

Perhaps Mi Chu already greatly overestimated his value to the Mi Family, but even after receiving such substantial support in resources, he can’t help but feel guilt. He has consumed the training resources of ten Fierce Realm warriors in their entirety, yet he doesn’t believe he can surpass their combined worth because he still evaluates his value from the perspective of a martial artist.

After all, a Combined Attack Technique launched by three teams of Fierce Realm warriors like Mi Jing could level an entire town. Even if he breaks through to the Fierce Realm, Mi Chu is unsure whether his Beast King Battle Body can withstand such a force, hence naturally generating self-doubt.

His brusque and domineering attitude, refusing to listen to others, is nothing more than a facade to conceal this self-doubt.

His self-doubt only stems from his inability to see what kind of dazzling future he holds in the eyes of the real power-holders of the Mi Family.

Usually, one’s vision dictates their actions. Mi Chu decided to attack impulsively because he believed he couldn’t let the Mi Family suffer a loss of a hundred billion again. However, what he doesn’t realize is that for the Mi Family, he is the loss they truly cannot afford to bear.
