Chapter 332 - 332 A Great Favor

332 A Great Favor

Most people thought that Xiao Mingyan had gone berserk. Some well-informed people, such as the Zhao clan, knew that Xiao Mingyan’s supreme dragon bone had been taken away, but they did not know the reason.

From the looks of it now, could it be that they saw that Xiao Wuyou’s talent was more outstanding and that something had happened to Xiao Mingyan, so they had given him the supreme dragon bone?

Zhao Ru was flustered and exasperated as he said, “Brother Xiao, you’ve really raised a good son.”

“Brother Zhao, you’re too kind.”

The Zhao clan’s faces turned red with anger. They thought that without Xiao Mingyan, their greatest opponent would not exist. They didn’t expect Xiao Wuyou to appear.

There was no suspense for the rest of the competition, and it almost became Xiao Wuyou’s one-man show. He looked as gentle as jade and as elegant as a young master, but he was even more overbearing and powerful than Xiao Mingyan.

He suppressed the crowd and shocked the entire scene. Almost all of his peers were defeated by him in seconds, and only a few of them could barely hold on for a few rounds.

After today’s battle, Xiao Wuyou’s name could be said to have spread far and wide throughout Jade City. Everyone’s impression of him was even more impressive than Xiao Mingyan’s.

Before Xiao Mingyan became famous, he had been defeated, but Xiao Wuyou had never lost. Everyone praised Xiao Wuyou, but they didn’t know that his excellence was exchanged with Xiao Mingyan’s blood and tears.

“I didn’t expect a dark horse to appear in this competition. The Xiao clan has hidden this so deeply.”

“If nothing goes wrong, the Xiao clan should be the champion again this year. The position of the leader of the four great clans will be theirs.”

Jade City had been extremely lively these days, and everyone was talking about the Xiao clan and Xiao Wuyou.

On the other side, Ye Xuan’s place was much quieter.

Xiao Mingyan chose to begin the fusion after accepting the Root Bone of Chaos, while Ye Xuan assumed the position of the Protector at his side. Several days had passed, but there was still no movement.

Ye Xuan was more indifferent. Life and death were determined by fate, and wealth and nobility were determined by heaven. If Xiao Mingyan failed to merge with the Root Bone of Chaos, he could only lament at his bad luck and seek revenge from Xiao Wuyou in his next life.

On the other hand, A’tian was very nervous. He paced up and down. He asked anxiously, “Young Master Ye, do you think Young Master Xiao will succeed?”

Seeing A’tian’s expression, Ye Xuan didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. “Why are you even more nervous than Xiao Mingyan?”

A’tian sighed, “I’m just a little sympathetic to Young Master Xiao’s unfortunate experience. I’ve been an orphan since I was young, but Young Master Xiao is different. He has parents and is the eldest young master of the Xiao clan. I can’t believe he’s fallen to such a state.”

He couldn’t imagine that there could be such cruel parents in this world.

“Then Young Master Xiao’s parents are really inhumane. Even if they feel bad for their youngest son, they can’t abuse their eldest son like this. Pulling out the bone by force must have been extremely painful.”

No wonder A’tian was so angry. This kind of situation was rarely seen, and even Ye Xuan couldn’t figure it out. Perhaps only the Xiao clan’s parents knew the reason.

As the two of them discussed, Ye Xuan’s gaze changed slightly, as if he had noticed something. He quickly looked at the entrance of the cave and quickly cast a protective spell on A’tian.

A pale yellow gas filled their surroundings in an instant, setting off a huge wave that was half the height of a man. A’tian did not have much cultivation. If Ye Xuan had not made a move just now, he would have been sent flying a hundred meters away.

“What’s this?” A’tian asked, still in shock.

Before Ye Xuan could reply, the yellow gas seemed to have been given life and began to surge like waves. A huge fish jumped out of it.

It was clearly a fish but it had bird wings. When it spread out, it covered the sky and the sun, as if blocking all the light. Then, it jumped with the wind and disappeared for ten thousand miles.

A’tian was dumbfounded. Before he could recover from the shock, the yellow gas began to change again.

The divine bird flew out, and its three heads spat out water, fire, thunder, and lightning respectively. It had the power to split the world apart, and its gorgeous tail feathers were dazzling. Every one of them was shining with supreme divine light, making people think of the Phoenix, an ancient divine beast.

There were also many strange beasts that they didn’t know the names of. A’tian was dazzled by them. He had never even heard of them before, let alone seen them. There were no records of them in the ancient books. He was like a country bumpkin who couldn’t look away.

“It seems like he has succeeded.”

If he had not succeeded, how could these strange phenomena appear?

Ye Xuan’s voice brought A’tian back to his senses, and he subconsciously swallowed and asked, “Really?”

“How else do you think they came about? They’re rare Beasts of Chaos formed from the chaotic Qi. Let’s go in and see how he’s doing.”

Ye Xuan was about to enter when he heard light footsteps.

Xiao Mingyan walked out from inside, his aura restrained. Even the wound on the back of his spine had healed, and he did not look like he had been seriously injured before.

“Congratulations.”

No one knew what kind of tribulations he had gone through to reach where he was now. After fusing with the Root Bone of Chaos, Xiao Mingyan was even more aware of the importance of this root bone. It had brought him a tremendous change.

Xiao Wuyou had taken away his supreme dragon bone, but he did not expect that the heavens would give Xiao Mingyan such a big gift.

In addition to gratitude, Xiao Mingyan felt more respect and fear for Ye Xuan. Who was this person in front of him? He didn’t even blink as he sent this unparalleled opportunity into Xiao Mingyan’s hands.

He couldn’t tell how deep Ye Xuan’s cultivation was before. After fusing with the Root Bone of Chaos, although Xiao Mingyan hadn’t completely absorbed the power inside, his current cultivation was no longer the same as before.

Even now, he was not at a disadvantage when facing Zhao Qing, Zhao Pei, and others. He could force them to retreat, but even so, he still could not see Ye Xuan’s true cultivation.

Xiao Mingyan half-knelt on the ground and he said, “From now on, I, Xiao Mingyan, will serve Ye Xuan as my master. I will go through fire and water for you without hesitation.”

Without Ye Xuan, there wouldn’t be Xiao Mingyan now, and this favor couldn’t be repaid in this lifetime.
