Chapter 3: Battle Against Heaven
It is strange, why does Chen the Fat want the martial arts school today? As his gaze fell on the disappearing figure of Chen the Fat, Yang Tian furrowed his brows. The location of the Longxing Martial Arts School is remote, and opening a shop here would not yield much profit.
After a long silence, Yang Tian's mind once again sank into the sea of consciousness. Upon seeing the ancestral dragon ring in the central position suppressing countless characters of "war," Yang Tian could not help but be astonished
There are still three months left. Although the essence within the Ancestor Dragon Ring is vigorous, three months is too long. The only option is to go to the Fierce Beast Mountain Range, where the spiritual herbs can accelerate the cultivation speed and allow for a rapid elevation to a higher realm.
Hmph. Shaking his head disdainfully, Fat Chen sneered: "Do you take me for a fool? Do you really think you can secure a ranking? Don't overestimate yourself. Considering we have been old friends for so many years, I can give you three hundred blood stones in the residence. How about that?"
Bloodstone is the currency of the Tianyang Continent, containing the power of vital energy. It can be absorbed into the body, and the energy contained within is exceptionally refined, making it suitable for use as a medium of exchange
Boom boom boom
The importance of the essence of heaven and earth to cultivators is self-evident. This extraordinary energy can be absorbed, and if it is abundant, the speed of cultivation will soar! This serves as a passport for high-level cultivators
After a moment of silence, Lin Yuan looked at Yang Tian's expectant gaze and couldn't help but chuckle: "Alright then, just remember to stay safe"
At this moment, Yang Tianzu extended his arms slightly, leaning his body forward, with his mouth and nose open, generating a powerful suction. This inhalation was akin to a great whale drawing in water, as the rich essence surrounding him was entirely absorbed into his body
Yang Tian had previously heard that the human race utilized precious minerals found between the realms of books and the heavens to forge various artifacts, and these treasures possessed mysterious and unpredictable abilities, with some even capable of exponentially increasing a person's combat power.
Lin Yuan's fist struck with a "pop," resembling an enraged tiger.
The countless characters for "war" exude a battle intent that is indistinguishable from that emitted by giants, yet if this overwhelming battle intent were not suppressed by the Ancestral Dragon Ring, Yang Tian's physical body would be instantly obliterated
"How many days will you stay?" Lin Yuan furrowed his brows and said, "There are ferocious beasts lurking in the back mountain, and it is close to the Beast Mountain Range. I think it is better to go during the day; it won't interfere with our training."
The adoptive father, who had always endured in silence, suddenly erupted in anger at this moment. For the sake of Yang Tian, he did not hesitate to offend this snobbish person. Yang Tian felt a slight sting in his nose, and a mist of tears began to spread in his eyes
"My adoptive father will not sell the Longxing Martial Arts School, so stop dreaming." A sudden voice slowly emerged.
"It's nothing, adoptive father. I'll be hiding in the cave tonight; there won't be any problems, so don't worry." Lin Yuan blinked at Yang Tian, who had been frequently going to the back mountain to practice since he recovered from his illness, a fact that Lin Yuan was also aware of.
Inside the house, Yang Tian incredulously touched his body. When he was certain beyond doubt, an indescribable ecstasy appeared on his face
Yang Tian's vital energy surged within him, radiating a crimson glow all around. The fist he tightly clenched was as lustrous as jade, and with a single punch, the air was violently torn apart
A figure of ample stature appeared before Yang Tian, clad in a purple floral robe, with a plump face full of mockery
"One hundred dollars?" Lin Yuan's expression changed dramatically as he looked at Chen the Fatty's smug face and said in a deep voice, "Brother Chen, you must be mistaken. I owe you a total of seventy blood stones, how could it be one hundred?"
With a series of continuous punches thrown, dozens of crimson rays circulated around him. This was evidently the boxing technique that Yang Tian had learned from the giant. At present, it was merely a superficial understanding, but it is believed that with the passage of time, this martial skill will shine brilliantly in his practice.
Looking at Yang Qi's imposing demeanor, Chen Pangzi's expression changed, and a sinister glint flashed beneath his eyelids. Suddenly, he spoke in a sarcastic tone: "Lin Yuan, is this the troublemaker from your family? Do you not understand any manners? When the elders are speaking, what business do children have to interrupt!"
What a rapid pace of cultivation, what stage of martial arts does this battle sky belong to? Suppressing the shock in his heart, Yang Tian seemed to have thought of something.
Hmph, misremembered? Chen the Fat raised an eyebrow and coldly remarked: "You haven't paid rent for six months, the extra thirty yuan is interest! Of course, in three months, it will be a different price."
Chen Pangzi shook his sleeves, ignoring Lin Yuan's unpleasant expression. He cast a resentful glance at Yang Tian before turning to leave
Bang
"Hehe, it's because the adoptive father has grown old and cannot bear to hear unpleasant words." With a slight shake of his head, Lin Yuan gently rubbed Yang Tian's little head and said with a faint smile
At this moment, he was panting heavily, with beads of sweat trickling down his nose. He once again connected his feet to the earth, absorbing the vital energy of the surrounding world.
Brother Chen, funds have been a bit tight recently. You know there are so many martial arts schools in Qingshi Town, and I can't come up with that much money all at once. " Looking at the portly figure before him, Lin Yuan forced a faint smile on his aged face and spoke softly to the book.
His entire body was tense with muscles, and the weak vital energy within him was rumbling. Suddenly, he moved
"Heh, what a tight situation." Chen Fatty shook his head disdainfully and said coldly, "You owe me a total of 100 Blood Stones, and your Longxing Martial Arts School currently has no disciples at all. What do you intend to use to repay me?"
It is important to note that the essence of heaven and earth contained here is several times more concentrated than that of the outside world
Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan's expression suddenly darkened, and he said coldly: "Chen Fatty, if you dare to speak ill of my adopted son again, do you believe I will tear your mouth apart! Do you think Lin Yuan is easy to bully? You should inquire about my reputation in Qingshi Town."
Within his dantian, crimson vital energy surged and flowed, the somewhat robust essence resembling a roar. As a drop of red liquid fell, the dozens of drops of red liquid expanded beyond the naked eye's perception.
"This is unacceptable; this is the legacy passed down from my ancestors. No amount of money will persuade me to sell it." Upon hearing this, Lin Yuan's eyelids twitched, and he quickly replied, "If you give me three more months, three months until the martial arts competition, I will definitely be able to repay the money."
After pondering for a moment, Yang Tian turned around
In the room, seeing Lin Yuan's humble demeanor, Yang Tian clenched his fist, his eyes glistening with tears: "Foster father, you have suffered over the years, Xiao Tian will repay you..."
This is ... ...
The substantial expenses incurred for Yang Tian's treatment have also made his name well-known in Qingshi Town
"Foster father, please do not be angry. In three months, there will be someone more handsome than him." Yang Tian raised his fist, his voice laced with a hint of arrogance, which stemmed from: the Battle of Heaven's Decision
Chen Pangzi's expression changed slightly, and an infinite rage towards the book arose in his heart, his fists clenched with a creaking sound.
But none of this is important
"It's nothing, adoptive father, I was too eager in my practice." Yang Tian scratched his head and said, "During this period, I would like to stay in the back mountain for a few days to calm my mind and focus on my training."
Looking at Lin Yuan's exceptionally unpleasant expression, Fatty Chen sneered a few times. He glanced around at the surrounding buildings, his eyes glinting with greed, and casually remarked: "If you were to sell this residence, it should fetch a few hundred Blood Stones."
At that moment, a series of sharp sounds suddenly echoed from outside. Yang Tian slowly opened his tightly shut eyes, and a hint of crimson light quietly flickered across his gaze.
In the sudden appearance of this place, Yang Tian widened his eyes; the space measured twenty zhang in size, yet it was quite desolate, with not even a single weed present.
Lin Yuan, I warn you, the Longxing Martial Arts School has not paid rent for six months. Are you going to pay or not? Do you intend to continue not paying the rent?
However, for the sake of appearances, he had to maintain a decent front. He touched his nose and sneered, "Fine, I will give you three months. If you do not have the money in three months, the Longxing Martial Arts School will belong to me. At that time, if you dare to argue, I will go to find the city lord in Kuangyun City."
Chen Pangzi harbored apprehensions; during Lin Yuan's youth, he was known for his bravery and combativeness, and now his strength is not to be underestimated, capable of tearing him apart in just a few moves
A muffled sound echoed, and Yang Tian was abruptly thrown into an unfamiliar space. He gasped sharply a few times at his waist, and his gaze followed as it turned towards the distance.
Sighing, Lin Yuan gazed at Yang Tian's departing figure, his face filled with worry. If he were to lose this residence, he would have no face to meet his ancestors.
Is this the internal space of the - Picture - Book Ancestor Dragon Ring? An incredible thought suddenly surged in Yang Tian's mind, and his tightly closed eyes abruptly opened. Then, with a single thought, his body mysteriously vanished from this space
The objects are classified into: blood vessels, spiritual vessels, Taoist vessels, and heavenly vessels
When Lin Yuan saw that Yang Tian had awakened, his aged face was filled with joy, and the earlier gloom was instantly dispelled
Within the ancestral dragon ring
A sharp and piercing sound erupted, and Yang Tian's expression instantly darkened. He leaped up and rushed towards the window.
This is a treasure of space
Yang Tian conducted several more experiments, discovering that the Zulong Ring not only allows various items to be stored within it, but also enables him to enter a state of cultivation while his physical body remains inside the house, thus preventing outsiders from uncovering the secret of the Zulong Ring
What exactly is the origin of this Ancestral Dragon Ring? It seems that my family is not as simple as it appears. Could it be that Longyang, that old dog, persecuted my family because of the Ancestral Dragon Ring? Taking a few deep breaths, Yang Tian slowly calmed his tense mind. Just as he was about to leave, the Ancestral Dragon Ring suddenly generated a pulling force, drawing Yang Tian's consciousness into it
Yang Tian approached with a stern expression, striding over with large steps. His unfriendly gaze fell upon Chen Pangzi, and a trace of doubt arose in his heart; he could not believe that Chen Pangzi would buy things at a high price
Lin Yuan suddenly thought of something. He pinched Yang Tian's arm and said, "By the way, Xiao Tian, why did you faint yesterday? Are you feeling alright now?"
At this moment, he tightly closed his mouth, his bright eyes shut. Within him, the vital energy that had just flowed in was rapidly refined, gradually transforming into a drop of crystal-clear liquid, which flowed into the sea of qi.
