Chapter 865: 0865 Capital City’s New Nobility! (Fifth Update)

Dragon Group Base.

A young man stood in the center, speaking indifferently, "Is there anyone else who wants to challenge me?"

Surrounding Dragon Group disciples crowded the area, yet no one stepped forward, because this person was too strong. Even exceptionally skilled members of the Dragon Group, such as Si Ma’ao and Mu Chujian, were effortlessly defeated by him; his strength was overwhelmingly fierce.

This person had been at the Dragon Group for nearly a week. From the moment he arrived, he brought with him a daunting arrogance. At first, everyone found it amusing when they heard his remarks about taking over the Dragon Group.

On what grounds?

Thus, many wished to learn a thing or two from him, but as all who attempted were defeated, the Dragon Group began to take him seriously.

Subsequently, individuals like Mu Zhige and Lin Wurou took their turn, but the result was still defeat.

After that, Si Ma’ao and Mu Chujian also admitted defeat.

All the disciples of Dragon Group who had made their move were beaten.

Suddenly, everyone began to take his words seriously—this man was indeed set on taking over the Dragon Group.

"Hmph, if our Dragon Group’s top expert, Master Ye, were here, he wouldn’t allow you to be so insolent," a senior Dragon Group member who stood up said.

"Exactly, if Ye Qiu were here, you would have been defeated long ago," others echoed.

"Ye Qiu... Is he that impressive? I’ve already issued my challenge to him, yet no one has responded to me. If he’s as formidable as you say, why doesn’t he show up? I reckon he’s just hiding," Wei Ziqing said nonchalantly.

"Stop talking nonsense. Master Ye would not fear you; it’s simply because Master Ye is not here. Otherwise, he would have dealt with you by now," others retorted.

"Fine, then I’ll wait for him here. If you can get in touch with him, tell him to come back and fight me," Wei Ziqing stated.

With Ye Qiu still out of sight, Wei Ziqing’s arrogance at the Dragon Group grew even more pronounced. His abilities were indeed extraordinarily strong, and even within the greater martial arts world, he was a standout.

The Old Colorhead and Mei Huiling watched this unfold. Both were aware that Wei Ziqing was dispatched here by their superiors. Seeing Wei Ziqing continuously defeating Dragon Group disciples, Mei Huiling was tempted to act. However, the Old Colorhead persuaded her that as the Dragon Group’s leader, it would be beneath her to intervene, especially since Wei Ziqing was a junior. It wouldn’t look good for someone with her status to step in.

"I’ve tried calling that kid Ye Qiu several times, and he doesn’t pick up. No idea what he’s busy with," the Old Colorhead said, somewhat helplessly.

"If he’s unaware of what’s happening in the Dragon Group, it’s not his fault. But if we let Wei Ziqing continue like this, I’m afraid it will hinder Ye Qiu from taking over the Dragon Group. If not for those people backing him, I wouldn’t have let him carry on unchecked in our Dragon Group," Mei Huiling said coldly.

"Don’t worry, I’ll call the kid again. If it doesn’t work, I’ll make him come back to the base," the Old Colorhead decided.

"That’s for the best; I can’t let the Dragon Group fall into the hands of outsiders," Mei Huiling nodded in agreement.

Ye Qiu immersed himself in his training every day. Recently, many people had come to visit him at the Maple Mountain Villa, hoping to meet him. He was aware that most were approaching him due to his identity as a young general being exposed; Ye Qiu couldn’t be bothered to waste words with these folks and had Song Jie send all the visitors away.

"If there’s nothing important, don’t let anyone disturb me," Ye Qiu instructed Song Jie before he settled down for some quiet cultivation in the woodland behind the villa.

Sunlight filtered through the leaves, leaving dappled patterns of light, while birds chirped soothingly in the woods.

Jin Yu, the golden-feathered hawk, sat quietly in the forest, studying Ye Qiu’s actions, imitating the manner of a cultivator.

Ye Qiu noticed that Jin Yu was changing significantly every day. He speculated it must be related to the medicinal pills he had been feeding it. After all, the pills he made were greatly beneficial to martial artists; how much more so for a bird like Jin Yu.

To Ye Qiu’s surprise, as he practiced his boxing in the woods, Jin Yu also attempted to imitate him, using its wings in place of fists, fluttering rapidly. Had there not been a small clearing in the woods, there wouldn’t have been enough space for its movements.

"Jin Yu’s intelligence seems not inferior to that of humans; it’s even learning to box from me. Could it also cultivate?" Ye Qiu stopped his own practice, approached Jin Yu, and demonstrated a move before signaling for Jin Yu to mimic him.

Upon seeing Ye Qiu’s gesture, Jin Yu shook its head and then copied Ye Qiu’s movements, flapping its wings back and forth, kicking up a good amount of dust.

Ye Qiu was astonished at how smart Jin Yu was; this intelligence must be closely related to the medicinal pills he had been feeding it.

"I have enough medicinal pills on me to last it a month, but it looks like I need to find some medicinal herbs and refine a new batch," Ye Qiu muttered to himself, patting his waist. Since emerging from the ancient land, he had given away a portion of his refined pills, and he didn’t have many left. Coupled with Jin Yu’s penchant for consuming the pills like candy, it wouldn’t be long before Ye Qiu’s stash was completely depleted.

Luckily, he was an alchemist, not just anyone dares to indulge in such luxury as to use medicinal pills to feed a bird.

Watching the transformation of Jin Yu, Ye Qiu was looking forward to seeing what this big fellow could eventually become if this continued.

Shifting his thoughts away from Jin Yu, Ye Qiu resumed his cultivation.

Even amidst the worldly distractions, Ye Qiu never missed a single day of practice.

He was diligently honing his skills at the legendary realm. Although the mythic realm was still far off, he remained full of confidence that one day he would break through.

Ye Qiu had identified his flaws, neither his control of domain nor his leveraging of external forces had reached perfection. So whenever he found the time, he would practice these aspects, gradually turning his weaknesses into strengths.

As Ye Qiu immersed himself in cultivation, Song Jie, standing at the door of the Maple Mountain Villa, was representing Ye Qiu in turning away people who wanted to see him.

Now everyone knew that the Song family had taken their stand with Ye Qiu, which changed many families’ attitudes towards them.

Luo Ming and Jiang Hao, two members of the Iron Triangle, still approached Ye Qiu with some trepidation, the shadow of the last lesson Ye Qiu taught them hadn’t entirely dissipated. Their fathers, however, often encouraged them to learn from Song Jie and get closer to Ye Qiu to transform their prior relationship, which would benefit their families.

Thus, the three members of the Iron Triangle came together again. Following Ye Qiu’s previous instructions, they secretly kept an eye on the movements of the four major families. Meanwhile, they were constantly being invited by other families in the hopes of securing a meeting with Ye Qiu through them.

Suddenly, the three members of the Iron Triangle became sought-after individuals in Capital City, attending numerous gatherings of the city’s young elite. In the past, they would silently endure mockery at these events, but now, even in the presence of Capital City heavyweights like Liu Wen, Wang Lin, and Xu Rui, they no longer kept quiet, for they had Ye Qiu backing them.

Today, Ye Qiu is the rising star of Capital City!
