Chapter 338: Chapter 249 Leaps and Bounds

...

Yan Xiaobao clearly knew that he currently lacked knowledge of any spiritual art skills, but at the same time, he also realized the possibility of devising spells. As long as someone could skillfully control their elements, Yan Xiaobao could attempt to use such methods to craft Earth Spears, just like the ones employed by Old Huzi.

Although Yan Xiaobao managed to create spears, they were only twenty centimeters high, making them hardly capable of threatening Deng Wu. In truth, if the older boy stepped on them, they would shatter instantly.

Nevertheless, Yan Xiaobao was not entirely defenseless; as long as he activated the Flame Spark Skill, Deng Wu immediately confiscated the matchstick, remembering the last battle he had witnessed. freёwebnoѵel.com

Most Master-level cultivators tended to rely on their spiritual power for combat, yet Xu Yue couldn’t help but think that standing slightly apart from others and chanting different spells to activate one’s elemental affinity felt somewhat dull. Based on this perspective, Hui Yue never gave up practicing his Qigong techniques, which accelerated his training progress.

From morning until noon, Yan Xiaobao would train with various Qi methods, and then, from midday until the following morning, he would spend as much time as possible cultivating.

Dividing his life into two parts like this allowed his cultivation base to grow rapidly. Within just two weeks, Yan Xiaobao possessed spiritual energy that Lan Feng had managed to refine only after years of effort.

It must be noted that Lan Feng purely refined his spiritual energy with his soul; however, Yan Xiaobao’s speed was so astounding that no one could keep up with him. Although he had now gathered enough spiritual strength to start practicing Spiritual Art, it was clear he was still a first-class Master-level cultivator.

"Yan Xiaobao, I need to speak with you about something," Deng Wu said as he prepared to leave the mansion. His usual cheerful expression was now filled with caution, and his typically jovial voice had turned cold and harsh.

The contrast to Deng Wu’s usual demeanor made Hui Yue frown, but he nodded, walked into the house, and the two began their conversation. An hour later, Deng Wu emerged through the front door, his face looking grim as he strode toward the streets on his way home.

Suddenly, the young man paused in his tracks, muttering to himself as he turned back toward the mansion, his eyes filled with a sorrowful gaze. "You really shouldn’t trust us so much."

After staring at the mansion for a while, Deng Wu let out a heavy sigh, turned again, and walked away down the steps.

Returning to the mansion, Yan Xiaobao sat in a chair, his fingers slowly tapping on the table, his eyes deeply contemplative. Sitting beside him was Sha Yun, who stared intently at the door Deng Wu had left through earlier, her eyes shimmering with a faint silver dignity.

"Sorry, Yun," Yan Xiaobao said, closing his eyes as he slowly rubbed his forehead. "It looks like we’ll have to stay in Liluo City for a while."

Across the city in the Deng Family Mansion, Deng Wu’s face was still twisted with disgust as his father and the elders summoned him hurriedly to the hall.

"So," Deng Zeng began as his gaze settled on his son expectantly, "did you manage to persuade that boy to join our faction’s fight?" He asked directly, sparing no pleasantries. Everyone in the Deng Family knew about the plan that had to be executed within the year.

"No," Deng Wu said firmly, looking into his father’s eyes. "He said he doesn’t want to join our cause and advised us to stop what we’re doing now."

"Who does he think he is?!" Deng Zeng roared throughout the hall, his cultivation base surging, and all the flames in the room flared as if driven by his fury.

"We should get rid of him," one of the elders said, his face pale. "If he won’t join us, we can’t let him know about our plans."

"It’s not that simple," Deng Wu snapped at the elder, his teeth clenched. "He’s already handled Old Huzi of the Silent Ravens. Do you think we could do better?"

The mention of Yan Xiaobao dealing with a Silent Raven made everyone present gasp. They all knew Old Huzi, and the idea that a child might have killed him was incomprehensible.

"Old Huzi was, after all, only a Master-level cultivator," Deng Zengying laughed. "If we send someone at a higher level, there won’t be any problems."

"Yan Xiaobao was just an expert when dealing with Old Huzi, unless you intend to send someone of a higher rank to face him," Deng Wu said, pausing briefly before continuing. "Oh, I forgot." His tone was laced with barely concealed sarcasm. "If we send any of our higher-ranked cultivators, then when the Water Affinity faction traces that battle back to our Deng Family, we’ll ultimately have to come up with a very good excuse."

Hearing this, Deng Zengying’s expression turned ugly. He knew that killing Hui Yue wasn’t a wise move. The Water Affinity cultivators could trace marks through other cultivators. Every object in the world sent out ripples, akin to the effect when a stone is thrown into a lake.

"We need to discuss this with the Wang Family," Deng Zengying said at last. He summoned a servant and ordered him to invite a Wang Family elder for a visit.

The Deng Xiaoping family didn’t just issue messages. Even Yan Xiaobao was considering what measures he should take to deal with the information he had provided. As the Deng Family pulled together with the Wang Family, the two family leaders hoped to end Lord Rong Liang’s rule over Liluo City.
