Mystical Dominator of the Nine Heavens - Chapter 44

With Xu Yu’s hand in his left hand, and Tinglan’s hand in his right, the three of them walked toward the Northern Arena.

“Brother, which side are you hoping will win?” Xu Yu lifted her head and asked, she was hugging Chubby Ball in her left hand, while the other hand was holding onto Xu Yang’s hand.

Chubby Ball’s appearance had changed a lot after being cleaned by the two little girls. Its dirty fur which was greyish in color turned into a pure-white color, its body was like a snowball and it was now much more beautiful.

It had certainly suffered quite a lot in exchange for this fresh and new appearance. Chubby Ball was exhausted after being fussed over by the two girls. It was being held by Xu Yu in her arms at that moment. It was quite obedient as it had no strength to struggle anymore.

“Both of the dojos lack much needed decency.” Xu Yang said placidly. “It’s basically a fight between insignificant people. It doesn’t matter to us who wins.”

“Why?” Xu Yu lifted her head and asked. “Didn’t you join Vast-Gate Dojo’s ascetic team, Brother? I thought that you would support Vast-Gate Dojo.”

Xu Yang did not tell Xu Yu about the issue where Vast-Gate Dojo had sent Mystical Warriors to assassinate him. Xu Yu was still young and Xu Yang did not want her to be exposed to the cruelty of the world at such a young age. He could only reply, “It is not as simply as you think.”

Xu Yu wanted to continue asking but there was loud commotion up ahead. They had arrived at the Northern Arena without even realizing it.

‘There are so many people.’ That was Xu Yang’s first impression. There were not only many people surrounding the ring but also people standing on the stone slabs and balconies on the top floors of buildings at the entrance of the street watching the duel.

“Brother, there are so many people. We won’t be able to see anything.” Xu Yu pouted and said, “I don’t even know who’s winning and losing…”

Xu Yang put his left hand on Xu Yu’s shoulder, with the activation of a light attraction force, she was lifted in mid-air and placed on his shoulder.

“Can you see it now?” Xu Yang smiled and asked.

“Yes. Although it’s a little bit far I can see it now.” Xu Yu cheerfully said. “Brother, how about you? You can’t see anything.”

At that moment, a middle-aged man in a Li family’s guard attire walked toward them. He clasped his hands together and said, “Mr. Xu Yang, my young master invites you to join him.”

Li Wang? Xu Yang looked at the direction from where the guard came. He saw Li Wang in a white noble attire raising his wine cup and greeting him from the second-floor balcony of a restaurant beside the ring.

Xu Yang did not reject his invitation. He put Xu Yu down gently and followed the guard to the restaurant.

Li Wang chuckled and his gaze shifted.

The restaurant was called Fortune Restaurant. There was a place called Warm Pavilion on the second floor, and it was the best place to spectate the duel on the ring. The view of the ring was unobstructed, and even the expressions on the faces of the two people fighting were clearly visible from the pavilion.

There were seven of eight people surrounding the table. One of them said, “Little Official, you have to drink three more cups of wine if you don’t return to your seat.”

Li Wang turned around and returned to his seat. “My bad for the delay. However, I’ll introduce a teenage genius to you to make up for my mistake. How about that?”

“Teenage genius?” The teenager who called out for Li Wang to return to his seat laughed and said, “Although Lin Yuan City is big, in my eyes, there are only a few people who deserve the term. Moreover, all of them are here right now! Who is the teenage genius you are talking about, Little Official?”

The teenager was Ge Weifeng, he was a good-looking young man. His eyebrows and eyes were beautiful and dashing. He had a convincing atmosphere around him.

Ge Weifeng had what it takes to be haughty as he was the son of the head of the Ge family. He was already an Intermediate Mystical Warrior at such a young age. His strength was stronger than people in the same stage as him as he possessed the Ice-Mystical Vein, which was one of the upper four extremes. He was one of the most talented teenagers in their generation in Lin Yuan City.

Light, Dark, Thunder, and Ice Extremes were stronger than the other four extremes. Hence, they were called the upper four extremes.

“Brother Weifeng is right. Who is this teenage genius? I, Chu Mingde, would like to know as well.” The teenager who spoke had a dark complexion. He sat on his seat like an unshakable pillar.

Chu Mingde came from the Chu family. Its fame was not as renowned as the Xu, Ge, and Yu family. However, it was still a strong family with strong ones in the Pinnacle Mystical Master stage. Its strength was comparable with the factions such as Vast-Gate Dojo and Fire-Cloud Dojo. Chu Mingde cultivated the Earth-Extreme Mystical Vein and his cultivation was also in the Intermediate Mystical Warrior stage.

The people who sat around the table that Li Wang was sitting on were the talented members from the famous factions in Lin Yuan City. They all had the ability to be the heads of their families in the future.

There was a knock on the door of the Warm Pavilion and a Li family’s guard in green came to report saying, “Mr. Xu Yang is here.”

“Hurry up and invite him in.” Li Wang said with a smile.

“Xu Yang? Is he the Mystical Learner who suddenly became well-known after participating in the Appraisal Conference?”

“The teenage genius you are talking about turns out to be Xu Yang? His talent in alchemy is good but his power is too weak. How can a Mystical Learner be able to sit with us?”

Xu Yang entered the Warm Pavilion under their whispers.

The teenagers were amazed when they looked at the good-looking Xu Yang with a steady temperament. Although he was wearing shabby and simple clothes, he had an extraordinary temperament.

Xu Yang, who walked into the balcony holding onto Xu Yu’s hand, was slightly stunned. “It seems that Little Official is entertaining guests. I’m sorry to disturb you. It was my mistake.”

“You are too courteous, Xu Yang. They are all the teenage geniuses in Lin Yuan City. They are all my friends. You are not disturbing me as you are also my friend. Li Ming, prepare a seat for him.”

The guard who led Xu Yang to the balcony responded with a yes, and moved a high chair covered with brocade.

Xu Yang smiled and he heard a voice before he could respond. “Wait!”

Li Wang looked in the direction of the voice and saw that it was Chu Mingde from the Chu family. With both his eyes wide open, he said, “Xu Yang, Little Official is a tolerant person in befriending you regardless of your status. I don’t have that kind of tolerance. How can you, a deserted member from the Xu family, sit with us?”

Opposite Chu Mingde, another teenager with a fair complexion was frowning at him as he said, “Brother Chu, why do you have to take things so seriously?”

Chu Mingde knew that the fair-skinned teenager was Xu Zhengxin, and he was the grandson of the Xu family’s head. Chu Mingde was aware that he should not be too arrogant. However, Ge Weifeng, the son of the head of the Ge family, stood up when Chu Mingde decided to sit back down. Ge Weifeng sneered, “Brother Xu, your words don’t make sense. Xu Yang’s status is low and he is not worthy to be compared with us. It is an insult to us if we let him sit down with us. The issue is related to our pride and dignity, how can we not take it seriously?”

“Hoho. That’s enough, please stop arguing, everyone.” Li Wang lifted his hands and motioned at the others, he then said, “Xu Yang is an alchemy genius. Although his cultivation is not as strong, with his talent in refining medicine, he has the right to be here. In addition, you can see that there is a rich inner aura with faint Mystical Power around him. It is obvious that he has advanced into the Mystical Warrior stage. Would that not make him eligible as a teenage genius?”

The others took a closer look and realized that Xu Yang had broken through the Mystical Learner stage. They no longer objected to Xu Yang sitting with them as they wanted to give face to Li Wang. However, they were still feeling disdainful.

The reason was quite simple as the others had formed their Mystical Cores and advanced into Mystical Warriors one or two years ago. They were looking down on Xu Yang who had just advanced into the Mystical Warrior stage.

“Thank you for your invitation, Little Official. However, I’m here only to find a better spot to spectate the duel. I’m not interested in befriending the teenage geniuses present.” Xu Yang smiled and said calmly. Then, he held onto the two little girls’ hands and walked toward the direction of the window.

Xu Zhengxin realized that something bad was about to happen. He saw Chu Mingde, who was the nearest to Xu Yang, leave his seat and rush toward him. He said, “Pfft! Where do you think this place is. You didn’t even accept Little Official’s kind invitation. If that’s the case, scram!”

Chu Mingde punched out and a ripple flashed in the air. There was Earth Mystical Power in his hand and it created a strong aura. He wanted to hit Xu Yang, break his bones, and make him spew blood, thus making him fall out of the window and onto the street in one blow.
