[In the early years, your remarkable talent was discovered by the Sect Master of the Floating Tuo Sect, and you were taken as a disciple.]
[Subsequently, the Sect Master of the Floating Tuo Sect imparted a clone technique to you.]
[You quickly mastered it, leaving a clone within your clan.]
[That year, at the age of five, you entered the Floating Tuo Sect and continuously cultivated and dealt with affairs.]
[As a result, you reached the ninth level of Shen Xiao, feeling a predestined opportunity for breakthrough within your clan.]
[Therefore, at the age of seventeen, you asked leave from your master to return to your clan.]
[Identity Wish: Lead the Floating Tuo Sect to greater strength and eliminate the other two major powers.]
[Once an identity is bound, it is bound forever!] [Temporary rewards are as follows:]
[One: Cultivation talent increases tenfold, in addition to the perfect mastery of the Floating Tuo Life Mantra.]
[Two: A guardian at the Tong Shen realm.] [Three: Blood Burning Talent (use to consume a large amount of vital energy to significantly boost strength).]
Instantly, a flood of memories surged into Su Yang's mind. His cultivation level also soared in an instant. Qi Cyclone level one...... Qi Cyclone level nine! Shen Xiao level one...... Shen Xiao level nine!
In the blink of an eye, he reached the ninth level of Shen Xiao, and the system intervened to conceal the outburst of this aura.
Thus, unbeknownst to everyone in the hall, Su Yang had undergone a revolutionary transformation, becoming a powerful practitioner at the ninth level of Shen Xiao.
After a while, as he digested that vast memory, he couldn't help but marvel at the system's methods.
The memory felt so real as if he had truly gone through the cultivation process himself. Then, he felt the surging power within his body, and a smile appeared on his lips.
Moreover, he detected a subtle and familiar aura in the space around him. This was the guardian in the Tong Shen realm sent by his mysterious master to protect him.
Su Yang then turned his attention to the three temporary rewards. The first one was acceptable, as his cultivation talent was already strong; enhancing it tenfold would make him a once-in-a-millennium genius!
And complete mastery of the floating tulo life mantra, which is a Hao Yue level technique.
In the Celestial Martial Realm, techniques are ranked from low to high as Earth, Heaven, Star, Hao Yue, and Lie Yang.
The Floating Tuo Life Mantra is a Hao Yue-level technique, once mastered, one could reach the Tian Qiong realm just by replicating the cultivation process.
Therefore, the first reward focuses on enhancing strength through advancing in cultivation realms.
The second reward is for personal safety, but since his master had already arranged for a guardian in the Tong Shen realm, it was less significant.
The third option seemed to focus on combat, especially in desperate situations where this talent could turn defeat into victory. After some thought, he chose the first option, as a higher realm naturally meant greater strength.
Following this choice, Su Yang experienced another earth-shattering transformation. However, amidst these changes, "Xiaoxuan, my niece, Yang's talent has just not been stimulated yet.
There's no need for this." At this moment, Su Xintian was sitting above, his face gloomy and burning with anger as he spoke. Zhuang Xiaoxuan, hearing this, showed a bit of helplessness before her expression turned indifferent.
"Why must Uncle deceive himself and others?"
"My talent in the Heavenly Sword Sect is considered superior, with countless pursuers of unknown quality."
"Among them, there are many with strong talents. Why should I settle here?"
"Uncle, you should understand the principle that people strive for higher places!"
Her words were cold as if she was talking about something unrelated to her, showing no previous respect.
Hearing this, the Su family members glared at Zhuang Xiaoxuan, and the atmosphere suddenly became tense.
The elderly Taoist beside Zhuang Xiaoxuan glanced at everyone lightly, then released a terrifying pressure.
Instantly, everyone felt suffocated, as if a heavy stone was pressing on their chests, looking at the elder in horror.
Unexpectedly, he was a practitioner at the Tong Shen realm, just like the family head. Su Xintian's face darkened upon hearing this. "Is this also the Zhuang family's intention!" Zhuang Xiaoxuan did not answer, but her silence was an answer to Su Xintian.
Then, Zhuang Xiaoxuan took out an exquisite wooden box and firmly dropped it on the floor.
"This is considered compensation for your Su family!" "Inside is a Star-level elixir that can increase cultivation!"
As her words fell, Zhuang Xiaoxuan's gaze turned to Su Yang, noticing that he was unmoved. Still looking calm and collected, Zhuang Xiaoxuan scoffed in her heart.
Pretending to be calm to catch my attention? Ridiculous! Thinking this, the disdain in her eyes grew, considering him nothing more than a toad lusting after a swan.
Such behavior enraged everyone present, boiling with anger, undoubtedly humiliating the Su family. Seeing her actions, rage surged in Su Xintian's eyes, his veins throbbing visibly.
The atmosphere around him was gradually rising, like a storm approaching, casting a sense of oppression.
Zhuang Xiaoxuan noticed it too but remained calm, for the person beside her was also a Tong Shen realm practitioner!
This was the source of her boldness! Indeed, the elder beside her sensed this atmosphere and smiled slightly, then immediately released his own aura to counter it.
"So, you've come to call off the engagement, and you think you're worthy?" At this moment, Su Yang slowly spoke, his face showing a mocking smile, as if watching a clown perform.
Hearing this, Zhuang Xiaoxuan's anger flared, her face turning cold as ice as she coldly questioned, "I am a true disciple of the Heavenly Sword Sect, and a Shen Xiao realm practitioner!"
"Do you say worthy or not?" As she finished, her eyes widened in disbelief.
In the next moment, Su Yang flashed in front of her like a ghost, with her unable to sense his movement at all.
Then, he looked at her coldly and suddenly raised his hand. Slap!
With a crisp sound, under everyone was shocked faces, Zhuang Xiaoxuan was slapped across the face.
The force distorted her face, swelling and bruising, teeth falling out, and blood leaking from the corner of her mouth.
Her body flew back heavily and landed at the edge of the hall. Only then did the elder react, his pupils contracting, his gaze filled with disbelief.
Seeing Zhuang Xiaoxuan struck, he immediately raised his hand, a terrifying aura emerging, ready to strike at Su Yang.
However, at that moment, Su Xintian stood firmly in front, like an unbreakable mountain range. He blocked the elder's attack, and the elder, upon recognizing the newcomer, angrily declared, "Su Xintian, hand over Su Yang, or let the Su family be destroyed!"
Upon hearing these words, Su Xintian chuckled coldly, though he was somewhat shocked by Su Yang's strength.
However, now was not the time to dwell on it. Then, looking at the elder, his tone was full of provocation.
"I wonder if taking you two down with us before my Su family falls would count as a win!" His words fell with laughter, his eyes brimming with defiance.
The elder instantly understood the implication: if he didn't take Zhuang Xiaoxuan away and continued to fight, others might seize the opportunity to attack her fatally.
If Zhuang Xiaoxuan were to die, he would be surrounded and possibly fall himself.
Ultimately, the Heavenly Sword Sect would lose a genius and a Tong Shen realm practitioner, which would be a huge loss even if they managed to destroy the Su family. "Hmph!" "Just wait for the Heavenly Sword Sect's siege!"
With those harsh words, the elder quickly retreated, taking Zhuang Xiaoxuan with him after pushing Su Xintian back. Yet, as Zhuang Xiaoxuan left, she glared at Su Yang with venomous hatred, utterly frustrated but aware that the current situation was unfavorable to her.
Then, she had no choice but to leave as well. Watching them depart, Su Yang gave a cold laugh, his lips slightly moving. Suddenly, a subtle ripple flashed through the space and then vanished unnoticed.
