637 Chapter 340: The Challenge of the Azure Sea's Genius, Xie Lingfeng's Breakthrough_1
The arrival of Xu Yan caused a noticeable stir in Yuntian's Azure Sea City.
Atop a high tower in the City Lord's Mansion, Fu Tianhai stood in a corridor, flanked by Xie Tianheng and Fu Yun on either side.
Fu Yun had initially planned to provide some relief, but was held back by Fu Tianhai.
"Unmistakably, it's Xu Yan!"
Xie Tianheng sighed.
Then he shot a glance at his father-in-law and remarked, "See what happened because you didn't let her relieve the situation, it's the City Lord's Mansion that's losing face now, right?"
Fu Tianhai's face darkened as he placed a hand on Xie Tianheng's shoulder and chuckled, "Do you dare to question my decision? Who gave you such courage? Just because you hold the title of Sword King, don't think you are so remarkable.
"In my eyes, you are nothing."
Xie Tianheng bared his teeth. At the moment, he felt as if he was being crushed by a mountain, his whole body nearly falling apart. His father-in-law's strength was indeed formidable.
However, he stubbornly muttered, "If I were at your level, you would stand no chance against me!"
"Overpowering others with a higher realm is also a form of strength!" Fu Tianhai coldly scoffed.
"Heh, if I was your age, I would've been at a much higher realm than you. With all these resources for cultivation and such a long time to practice, only to have such little strength, I would absolutely feel ashamed." Xie Tianheng persisted in his defiance.
Fu Tianhai clenched his five fingers and fell silent for a moment before responding, "You're unfilial!"
Boom!
"Damn it! You're bullying the weak, aren't you ashamed!"
"A father-in-law beating his son-in-law, where's the shame in that?"
Fu Yun wore an expression of helplessness. When Xie Tianheng first arrived, he was very low-key, not showing off at all, always obeying his father-in-law, doing everything to please him.
She even began to doubt if Xie Tianheng was the same person she had known before?
Could he have changed?
However, once his strength improved, he reverted back to his arrogant self.
"Father, go easy on him!"
Upon hearing this, Fu Tianhai doubled down.
In the courtyard, after catching up with Xie Lingfeng, Xu Yan began to impart the Martial Arts of the Divine Origin Realm to him and took out the healing pills to assist Xie Lingfeng in his cultivation.
"Brother Xie, you've honed your Divine Intent State to perfection for a long time and accumulated some foundation, but it's still not enough. Accumulate more and when the time comes to breakthrough, transform yourself. Once you enter the Divine Origin Realm, your strength will increase even more," Xu Yan advised.
For the next half month, Xu Yan guided Xie Lingfeng in his training and schooling him in the Sword Dao.
It wasn't until Xie Lingfeng had accumulated enough foundation and began to retreat to break through the Divine Origin Realm, that Xu Yan finally met Xie Tianheng, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, and Xie Lingfeng's mother, Fu Yun, the heiress of the City Lord.
However, Xie Tianheng's face was swollen and bruised as if he had been beaten up.
This aroused his curiosity. Who could possibly beat up the Azure Sea Sword King?
"Do you have any healing pills? Give me one, that old man hit me too hard!" Xie Tianheng covered his face.
A few days had passed and a force remained coiling around his face, preventing his wounds from healing.
With such a face, he naturally couldn't go out, otherwise, wouldn't it tarnish the prestige of the Sword King?
Xu Yan then realized, so it was his father-in-law who beat him up.
He handed a potion of pills to Xie Tianheng.
After another round of reminiscing, Xie Tianheng introduced Fu Yun. He was extremely proud every time he mentioned her.
Back in the Inner Domain, he had married Fu Yun, a prestigious Spirit-body Prodigy. No one in the Inner Domain could compare to her, that's why he always thought the others were worthless.
"My Sword Dao seems a bit stagnant, I always feel like I'm just on the brink of breakthrough," Xie Tianheng sighed.
He had come to Xu Yan for advice on his understanding of Sword Dao.
Xu Yan naturally then guided Xie Tianheng in his Sword Dao.
Barely finished with guiding Xie Tianheng, a manager hurried over, saying, "Young Lady, Li Shao from the Ten Thousand Stars Martial Academy specifically challenges Young Master Xu!"
"Li Shao?"
Fu Yun was taken aback.
Xie Tianheng furrowed his brows, saying, "How did this guy come to challenge?"
Xu Yan raised an eyebrow, curiously asking, "Li Shao, how strong is he?"
"Li Shao is hailed as the leading genius of the Ten Thousand Stars Martial Academy, and even known as the number one prodigy of the Azure Sea. He is rumored to have condensed the Qi of three Heavenly Earth Laws," Fu Yun explained.
Xie Tianheng added, "It's rumored that Li Shao has a spiritual body."
Xu Yan became interested, he had always heard about Spirit-body Prodigies without actually having a chance to challenge one. So, Li Shao turned out to be a Spirit-body Prodigy?
No wonder he had managed to condense the Qi of three Heavenly Earth Laws.
Spiritual bodies are closer to the Heavenly Earth Lingji, making it easier to condense the Heavenly Earth Lingji and the Qi of the Heavenly Earth Laws.
Turning to the manager, he said, "Tell Li Shao, if he wants to challenge me he can, but first he has to defeat the Great Commander. Otherwise, he isn't qualified to challenge me!" n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Although he was curious about the Spirit-body Prodigies, not everyone was qualified to challenge him.
If Li Shao defeats the Great Commander, then, he can challenge Xu Yan. But if he can't even defeat the Great Commander, then there's no point thinking about challenging him.
"Well..."
The manager looked at Fu Yun, after receiving her permission, then hurried off.
Not long after, the manager hurried back.
"Young Lady, Haibo'er from the Sea Spirit Tribe, specifically wants to challenge Young Master Xu!"
Fu Yun was once again surprised.
"Haibo'er is the strongest genius of the Sea Spirit Tribe. It's said that she has an extraordinary bloodline and is the granddaughter of the Sea Spirit Tribe's current tribal leader. She is also said to have condensed the Qi of three Heavenly Earth Laws, and shares the title of Azure Sea's Twin Prodigies with Li Shao," Fu Yun explained.
"The old rules. If she defeats the Great Commander, I'll accept the challenge!" Xu Yan waved his hand and said.
The manager hurried off again.
The Great Commander's face turned extremely dark as he looked at the man and woman challenging him. He was about to cough up blood in his frustration.
