Chapter 525: 0526 Awakening (Third Update) Thank you for the reward

Half a month had passed since Ye Qiu and Gu Shan Bai had exchanged blows.

A mysterious youth appeared in the martial arts world, defeating several top ten experts in one breath, becoming a hot topic after Ye Qiu.

"It’s a pity, I had hoped to find your brother, but unexpectedly he disappeared after fighting with someone," Mu Canshou said indifferently.

Ye Zi clenched her sleeves tightly, her mood was not good. When she heard that Ye Qiu had fought with a legendary expert, her heart leapt into her throat. Those were unparalleled experts. In the martial arts world, very few reached the legendary realm, how could Ye Qiu possibly be their opponent?

"I have to admit, I do admire your brother, a young martial artist from the martial arts world fighting against the legendary realm with only True Qi level, such courage is rare, but it seems he was too arrogant, leading to his own demise. Even the weakest in the legendary realm cannot be matched by a True Qi realm martial artist, did he really think he was like us, the descendants of ancient martial families, and aspired to fight across levels? Heh..."

"That kind of monster, even in my Mu family, there is only one!" Mu Canshou thought of the existence that even he looked up to, feeling a mix of envy and jealousy. But when speaking of Ye Qiu, his face was filled with disdain. In their eyes, the descendants of such families, the martial arts world was merely a group slightly stronger than ordinary people. However, compared to them, it was a far cry. Therefore, any young disciple from ancient grounds inherently looked down on the so-called experts of the martial arts world.

This was how Mu Canshou felt about Ye Qiu’s existence.

What Ye Qiu’s disappearance made him regret most was that he couldn’t crush him personally in front of the new maidservant and show off his strength.

"Let’s go, I will meet the one ranked first. The previous top tens were really weak, not capable of withstanding a single blow, I hope the top challenger can make me use five layers of effort and give me some surprises," Mu Canshou got up, smoothed his clothes, and said to Ye Zi.

Half a day later.

The martial arts world was again abuzz with news of this unidentified youth challenging the top ten.

The result once more shocked the martial arts world.

The top challenger, Huangfu Jun, was defeated. Within twenty moves, he succumbed to the youth.

Every young person who heard this news gasped in shock, terrified by the strength of this mysterious young master. If even the top challenger had lost, how strong could this young man be?

At that moment, someone lamented, "If Ye Qiu were here, perhaps he could have saved a bit of face for the top ten."

"What’s the use of talking about it now? The top ten have been continuously challenged; even Huangfu Jun has been defeated. It seems that the top ten no longer command the same fear as they once did."

"Aren’t you curious about who the master of that youngster could be?"

"Indeed, we’ve never seen such a powerful young generation in the martial arts world before. Hopefully, he will continue to take action."

After Mu Canshou’s battle with Huangfu Jun, the impact was significant, and the tide of discussions had submerged the topic of Ye Qiu.

When people asked senior members of the martial arts world about the identity of this mysterious young master, they could not answer; suddenly, his identity became even more elusive.

"It’s time to go back, this martial arts world is really boring," Mu Canshou looked ahead feeling disinterested, and slowly walked towards a deep mountain. Ye Zi looked back at the distant city one last time and reluctantly followed.

Three days later, Ye Qiu woke up!

Ye Qiu jumped down from the stone platform, and his body crackled and popped, startling the little monk who was guarding the place. The little monk immediately ran to inform Tang Yao.

It wasn’t long before Tang Yao appeared in front of Ye Qiu.

"You’re awake?" Tang Yao asked.

Ye Qiu nodded, looking around in amazement. He immediately realized why he was here; surely, Daoist Qian Zhen and the others must have brought him back.

"How long was I unconscious?" Ye Qiu asked.

"Eighteen days!" Tang Yao’s response shocked Ye Qiu; he had been out for that long.

It was not Ye Qiu’s fault, either. In his battle against Gu Shan Bai Yi, he had exhausted all his strength, all his True Qi absorbed by the residual eyeballs; he suffered multiple injuries from Gu Shan Bai Yi’s strikes, even breaking several bones. Hanging by his last breath, his condition was anything but optimistic.

Lying here for the first ten days, Ye Qiu’s body silently absorbed the surrounding energy, constantly restoring his True Qi. After regaining some consciousness, he continued to absorb the energy around him while healing his body’s wounds.

It took a full eight days to heal his torn muscles and broken bones. His body was now free of injuries, and his bones were all mended and recovered. Apart from not having fully restored his True Qi, he could say he was in great health and everything tasted delicious.

Thinking about eating, Ye Qiu’s stomach began to grumble. If it wasn’t for sustaining himself with True Qi, he would have long succumbed to hunger. Opening his mouth with a smile, he said, "Brother Tang, I wonder if there’s anything to eat here? I haven’t had meat in days, and my stomach is starting to protest."

Tang Yao had a face full of exasperation, "Ye Qiu, this is a Taoist temple, we only have vegetables, no meat."

Ye Qiu wiped his nose awkwardly and laughed, "Vegetables are fine too, trouble you, Brother Tang."

Watching Ye Qiu’s shamelessly amiable smile, Tang Yao sighed and left the Natural Cave.

After eating his fill of bland vegetables, Ye Qiu was only half full, but since he couldn’t really pour any sauce on it, he wiped his lips clean and said to Tang Yao, "Brother Tang, do you know where Senior Qian Zhen is? I want to ask for his guidance on breaking through to legendary levels."

At the mention of Daoist Qian Zhen, Tang Yao’s face changed slightly, "My master is not in the temple."

"Oh, then I’ll come another day to visit, thank you Brother Tang for taking care of me these days." Ye Qiu prepared to take his leave.

"Don’t leave just yet, my master asked me to give you a message. After you hear it, it’s not too late for you to leave," Tang Yao called out to Ye Qiu.

"Oh? What did the elder say?" Ye Qiu asked curiously.

"Regarding your killing of Gu Shan Bai Yi, no one in the martial world knows yet; they think both of you have gone missing. My master told me to advise you not to appear in public easily, and it’s best not to let others know you’re still alive. Of course, if you can’t hide it, that can’t be helped. News from Japan will come sooner or later, and regarding the Kusanagi Sword in your possession, whether it’s because you killed Gu Shan Bai Yi or because of its importance as a Japanese Divine Artifact, you will become an enemy Japan wants to eliminate. You must be careful with this."

"My master also said that with your talent and strength, you should learn to keep a low profile and bide your time. The future of the martial world may depend on you to make a difference."

Tang Yao delivered a mouthful in one go, causing Ye Qiu to frown, but the last sentence seemed to carry deep meaning.

The future of the martial world was counting on him, Ye Qiu, to make a difference. What did that mean?

Tang Yao knew Ye Qiu did not understand, but he could not disclose the matter of the Mu clan to him. Apart from a few seniors in the martial world, few were privy to it. However, thinking of Ye Zi, the girl Ye Qiu regarded as his sister, who was serving as a maid beside a prominent young master of the Mu clan, he felt he should at least warn Ye Qiu.

"Brother Ye, some days ago, I saw your sister, Ye Zi!" Tang Yao began, and Ye Qiu suddenly grew serious.

To know that since the Ten Owls Challenge, Ye Qiu had disappeared, and this was the first time he had heard news related to Ye Zi.

"She is fine now, not in any danger, but..."

"But what? Feel free to speak your mind, Brother Tang," Ye Qiu picked up on Tang Yao’s hesitation.

"But she’s following a very terrifying person. She seems to be forced to serve as a maid for that person. That person is of our generation, very young, yet no one can match his strength. Just a few days ago, Huangfu Jun was defeated by him."

"A maid!" Ye Qiu’s eyes turned cold, not caring in the least that the person had defeated Huangfu Jun.

"Brother Ye, I just want to warn you that the person backing him is very powerful, so powerful that even my master fears him. It’s best not to go looking for Ye Zi until you’re strong enough because that might not only harm you but also her," Tang Yao refrained from saying more, as he had already said enough.

For some reason, he wanted to see Ye Qiu clash with Mu Canshou; it seemed that among those in the martial world, only Ye Qiu had the qualifications to confront him.

"All right, I understand. When I become stronger, I’ll come find you!" Ye Qiu bowed with his fists, his face expressionless as he left the Dragon and Tiger Daoist Temple.

But Tang Yao could see that the information he had revealed was enough to give Ye Qiu the motivation to grow stronger quickly.

A prodigy from an ancient martial family, a young man with no background in the martial world; the clash between these two was bound to create a shock worth anticipating. Tang Yao looked forward to it, for ever since he saw Ye Zi appear, he knew there would be an inevitable battle between Ye Qiu and Mu Canshou.
