Chapter 28 - Mountain Training

Inside the City Lord's Mansion, a guard holding a piece of jade respectfully handed it over to Li Chengfeng and said, "City Lord, everything that has happened today at the Ye Family's Cultivation Grounds has been recorded down in the photo jade. Please have a look, my lord."

photo jade is a kind of very magical jade. When activated with Innate Qi, it can record sound and images for a period of time. It is very rare.

Li Chengfeng took the photo jade and flicked his finger, releasing a ray of light onto the wall. Everything that happened at the Ye Family's training grounds, was clearly displayed on the wall.

If Ye Yang saw this scene, his jaw would definitely drop. He felt that this world's projection technique was much more advanced than his previous life's.

Li Chengfeng watched everything that happened with interest. When Ye Yang threw out 3200 jins of power with a punch, Li Chengfeng's pupils shrank, "Indeed, this guy's strength is extraordinary, but it seems like he didn't use his full strength. This brat has been hiding his strength well enough."

Seeing Ye Lingtian forcing Ye Yang to walk towards the testing stone with an angry expression, Li Chengfeng couldn't help but smile. This father and son pair were really something.

Although he could not hear what they were saying clearly, but from the looks of their mouths, Li Chengfeng could roughly guess what they were talking about.

In the picture, Ye Yang used his combat technique. When his fist touched the testing stone, Li Chengfeng's right hand that was holding the tea couldn't help but shake, and a few drops of water dripped onto his leg.

When the guard saw this, he secretly heaved a sigh of relief. "With the city lord's calmness, it's not too embarrassing for him to be in such a state!"

Because he, who was at the scene at that time, was so shocked that he almost threw the photo jade in his hands away.

The dust on the screen dispersed and Ye Yang stood up straight, maintaining his boxing posture.

However, the testing stone that had originally been standing ten feet high on the square was now split into pieces and scattered all over the ground.

Seeing this, Li Chengfeng clapped his hands and laughed, "As expected of someone that I, Li Chengfeng, have set my eyes on. Such a good sapling, as long as I train a little, the next time Trembling Feather Secret Realm opens, he will definitely have a placing."

The guard was startled when he heard this and said, "Sir, although Ye Yang's aptitude is extremely good, I'm afraid it will still be difficult for him to obtain the qualifications to become a Trembling Feather Secret Realm."

"What do you know? Ye Yang is just a kid with unlimited potential, you didn't even notice that when Ye Yang's fist touched the stone, it was covered with a layer of true energy, which means he has already comprehended and released his true energy," Li Chengfeng said.

"That's impossible. True release of zhenqi can only be achieved if the zhenqi in the body is dense to a certain degree. Warriors usually only know how to use the skin. Only a martial arts master can master it!" The guard was in disbelief.

"Absolutely. Although it is just an elementary form, it is absolutely emitting true energy." Very good, this way, perhaps he can really help me achieve my wish. The Moon Shadow is in the heavens, so I will be able to rest in peace now, "Li Chengfeng faintly sighed.

"Alright, you can leave now. Remember to protect Ye Yang. Kill anyone who threatens Ye Yang's safety, even people from the palace," Li Chengfeng said coldly.

"Yes!" The guard answered and disappeared from the room.

Ye Yang was very depressed these few days. Ever since he was forced by his father to show off, he has been hiding in his room cultivating.

He really couldn't stand the feeling of being the center of attention. All of the young men and women had already treated him as their idol, they just needed to worship him.

As a result, Ye Yang had been cultivating silently these past few days. As his cultivation level increased, his cultivation speed did not slow down at all. Three days later, Ye Yang could clearly feel that his true qi had reached a critical point.

If he took another step forward, he would be able to break through to the Martial Disciple realm. However, after reaching this critical point, no matter how much Ye Yang cultivates, the true qi within his body hasn't changed at all.

Ye Yang gradually recalled. The God Slaughtering Technique had once said that when a God Slaughtering Technique could advance, one needed the guidance of a soul.

He sighed. In other words, no matter how hard Ye Yang worked, his cultivation would not receive much strength in the future.

But now, at home, it was not a good place to cultivate the Dark Gold Body of Dragon and Elephant, so he had to go out and gain experience.

When Ye Yang came in front of Ye Lingtian to inform him that he was going to train in the great mountain, Ye Lingtian was stunned. However, he did not say anything.

Ye Yang, who originally thought he'd waste his breath, was also stunned for a moment. He didn't think that his usually conservative father would actually agree without even thinking. This made Ye Yang a little confused.

However, Ye Yang was too lazy to think about it. As long as he can leave, it's fine. As his cultivation level increases, Ye Yang will always feel like he's a caged bird in the Ye family, unable to let go.

Seeing his father nod his head, Ye Yang returned to his room and picked up the crystal card his father gave him. He then ran to the market to purchase some of the necessary items for the experiential learning.

Looking at Ye Yang's departing back, the second elder said somewhat worriedly, "Clan leader, are you so sure that you can let him go into the mountains to gain experience?"

One had to know that outside of the Eight Desolate City, there were countless of large mountains called the Vast Expanse Mountain Range. They covered an area of tens of thousands of miles and had countless of demonic beasts.

"Don't worry, it's not only us who are worried about Yang'er, there are also others who are, don't worry" Ye Lingtian looked towards the direction of the City Lord's Mansion and said meaningfully.

Ye Yang spent an entire four hours buying things in the marketplace before finally buying everything he wanted, including tents, bedding, and other daily necessities, as well as some medicine to repel mosquitoes and bugs.

Other than these, Ye Yang also purchased a large number of pots, pans, soy sauce, various spices, and a large pile of them.

The next morning, Ye Yang walked out of the gate and headed westward. He passed through the gate and saw no one in the wilderness.

In just an hour, they covered a distance of over two hundred li. Along the way, they could see trees quickly flying past them. Ye Yang felt a sense of elation that he had never felt before.

An hour's worth of travel didn't make Ye Yang feel tired in the slightest. Instead, he felt even more refreshed. Seeing that he was about to enter the mountains, he had no choice but to slow his steps and retrieve his spear.

The path they took just now was a buffer zone. Magical beasts rarely entered this region, but the forest ahead was different. That was their territory, so they couldn't be careless.

Entering the forest, Ye Yang saw towering ancient trees everywhere. Ye Yang had never seen these trees before in his previous life, and the light inside the forest was clearly much dimmer than outside. However, Ye Yang quickly adapted to it and carefully walked forward.

After advancing for more than an hour, Ye Yang suddenly stopped and narrowed his eyes as he looked behind him and said, "I wonder which friend is following me the entire way. What may I do for you?"

The forest was silent. No one answered.

Ye Yang smiled and walked up to a tree where the two of them could share their bags. He raised his head and said, "Senior on the tree, do you want to stay there forever?"

"Hahaha, truly a young hero. I wonder how did Lord Ye know of my existence?" A grey figure landed in front of Ye Yang.

The person who came was a middle-aged man with a sharp expression. He wore a bamboo hat and was wearing gray tight-fitting clothes. It was a very good disguise for the forest.

"If my guess is correct, you should be subordinate to the City Lord's Mansion, right?" Ye Yang did not answer his question and directly asked.

When Ye Yang left the city, he had a feeling that he was being followed. As his abilities increased, his spiritual sense became sharper.

However, the person following them was extremely clever, causing Ye Yang to be unable to confirm his suspicions. This continued until the person was careless and neared a distance of three hundred meters from Ye Yang. This distance happened to be within the range of Ye Yang's spiritual sense, so Ye Yang naturally discovered him.

"That's right, this one is You Yi, one of the City Lord's shadow guards. I definitely do not have any ill intentions towards the young master, but rather, I am ordered to protect the young master's safety." As he spoke, You Yi even passed his identity token to Ye Yang.

In addition, You Yi's aura was extremely strong. Although Ye Yang was unable to see through his cultivation, he knew that he was definitely an expert in martial-general level and that there was no need to play with such a person to deal with him.

"Thank you for your trouble, but please go back. This brat only wants to train by himself in order to break through. If you are protected all the time, then I'm afraid this experiential learning will lose its meaning," Ye Yang said.

"This … this is somewhat difficult for me. If I return like this, I'm afraid that my lord will punish me …" You Yi said somewhat gloomily.

"Relax, Uncle Li is a reasonable person, he definitely won't blame you. Help me tell Uncle Li: Ye Yang encouraged others to become a expert, and is destined to not grow under the protection of others!" Ye Yang said solemnly.

"Alright, I'll go back and report right away." You Yi helplessly nodded, disappearing into the dense forest with a few rises and falls.

Ye Yang turned around and continued walking. After walking a few steps, he stopped and jokingly said, "Is it really that interesting for you to play this game with me? If I can find you once, I'll find out a second time! "

Originally, You Yi had planned to sneak back after leaving, planning to continue following them. After all, it would be somewhat unsatisfying to return like this.

However, when he was extremely careful and displayed his movement technique to the extreme, Ye Yang was still able to sense it. He was depressed in his heart and silently cursed "freak" as he turned around and ran out of the jungle.

As a shadow guard, his stealth skills were bound to be outstanding. A dignified general level shadow guard had been discovered by a rookie, causing him to lose all face.

The City Lord's Mansion was downcast as You Yi relayed Ye Yang's words to Li Chengfeng.

Li Chengfeng's face revealed a strange expression, he looked at You Yi, You Yi wished that there was a hole in the ground, and immediately crawled in.

"Alright, you don't need to be depressed. This kid has always been a bit difficult to see through. I didn't expect that after forcing him to reveal his strength last time, he actually had some cards up his sleeves. This stinking brat, where did all his thoughts come from?"

"But what he said is right. If you want to become a expert, you must rely on yourself. Forget it, let him go, I was too anxious, so I made such a low level mistake, "Li Chengfeng sighed.

Ye Yang hadn't noticed You Yi on several occasions, and the feeling of being followed had disappeared as well. He took out the map, identified the general direction, and continued to move forward.

As he was walking, he suddenly became alert and suddenly dodged to the side. A huge red figure went past him.

Ye Yang focused and his eyes immediately lit up.

"Good fellow!"
