Battle Through the Heavens: The Strongest in the Entire Map, I Will Always Be Above You

"So that's how it is..." Xiao Yan suddenly realized. If it really was a transformed magical beast, then if he said it wasn't human, he'd probably get a beating in the middle of the night.

"Oh right, the Transformation Grass!" Xiao Yan shook his head and was about to continue grilling meat when he suddenly remembered something. He slapped his forehead with his free left hand, flipped his hand, and took out an exquisite jade box from his storage ring. "Brother Yang, we've known each other for so many years, and I've never given you a decent gift. I think you'll really like this!"

With that, Xiao Yan tossed the jade box to Chen Yang. Chen Yang looked at Xiao Yan with a puzzled expression, then opened the jade box and exclaimed, "Hey, Transformation Grass, where did you get this from?"

Zi Yan, who was sitting on a small stool, rushed over when she heard the words "Transformation Grass". However, Chen Yang was too tall for her to see, so she had to jump up to barely see the medicinal herbs in the jade box.

"It really is a Transformation Grass!!!" Zi Yan will never forget this wretched grass that turned her into what she is now.

"Zi Yan, are you interested in following me? If you do, I'll refine a real Transformation Pill for you, and maybe you'll be able to grow up!" Chen Yang said to Zi Yan with a smile.

"Transformation Pill? You can refine Transformation Pills?" Zi Yan seemed to have grasped a lifeline. She reached out and tugged at Chen Yang's clothes, raising her head to look at him hopefully. Her big eyes blinked, and she was extremely cute.

"Sister Ziyan, my brother Yang is a genuine seventh-grade alchemist. A mere Transformation Pill is a piece of cake for him!" Xiao Yan chuckled.

Zi Yan didn't listen to Xiao Yan at all. She just kept staring at Chen Yang until Chen Yang nodded. Only then did a faint smile appear on her nervous face: "No problem, I'll follow you. As long as you help me refine the Transformation Pill, I'll fight whoever you tell me to fight!"

Chen Yang flipped his hand and put away the Transformation Grass, then reached out and ruffled her hair: "Zi Yan, when I said follow me, it's not just for Canaan Academy. When I leave here to explore the continent, you have to come with me too, just like this grass, understand?"

As he spoke, Chen Yang pointed to the six-winged tiger king on the tree and said with a smile.

"Huh?" Zi Yan was stunned for a moment. She thought Chen Yang only wanted her to follow him while she was at Canaan Academy.

From Chen Yang's perspective, if I want to get the Transformation Pill, I have to sell myself to him.

"Go back and think it over carefully. You can also ask the Grand Elder. However, judging from your situation, it's probably not something that can be solved with just a Transformation Pill. Your bloodline is extremely powerful. The effects of the Transformation Pill alone probably won't be enough to make you grow up. At most, it will give you the ability to revert to your original form." The Ancient Void Dragon Clan is not an ordinary magical beast. In the original story, Zi Yan was able to grow to the seventh rank in the Ancient Void Dragon Clan and use a secret technique to grow larger for a period of time. Later, she only managed to maintain her enlarged size after consuming the Dragon-Phoenix Origin Fruit. This is probably related to her special bloodline.

"Huh???" Zi Yan was stunned. Even the Transformation Pill couldn't make her grow up. Did she really have to eat bitter medicinal herbs for decades or even centuries?

"Think it over carefully. I specialize in taking in homeless and pitiful magical beasts." Chen Yang reached out and ruffled Zi Yan's hair, speaking softly to the little girl's somewhat desperate gaze. "As long as you're your own beast, I'll guarantee your future development. If you don't believe me, you can wait a while until that big tiger advances to the seventh rank before making a decision, how about that?"

Zi Yan turned to look at the cat in the tree, thought for a moment and then nodded. If the Transformation Pill couldn't make her grow up, then she would have to keep advancing. If the fifth rank didn't work, she would advance to the sixth rank, and if the sixth rank didn't work, she would try the seventh rank. She refused to believe that ordinary magical beasts could transform into human form at the seventh rank. There was no reason why she couldn't do it at the seventh rank.

Thinking this, she nodded heavily to Chen Yang, then said somewhat timidly, "Um... if I don't agree today, will I still be able to eat barbecue?"

Chen Yang was taken aback for a moment, then burst into laughter: "Hahaha, sure, of course, eat as much as you want, I still have over ten tons of meat here..."

"Hehe... Thank you, Chen Yang..."

Chapter 127 Qinglin: Young Master, I'm eighteen years old today!

Ziyan was overjoyed to hear that she could eat barbecue and eat as much as she wanted. So, the little girl found the small stool that Chen Yang had given her and sat down, hugging her legs and blinking occasionally, but her eyes were always fixed on the barbecue.

"Hey... Young Master, where did this little girl come from? She's so cute!" Just as Zi Yan was in a daze, a melodious voice suddenly rang in her ears. She turned her head and saw a girl in a blue dress carrying a plate, smiling at her. The girl's figure looked much better than hers, but her face seemed to be only two or three years older than hers.

In other words, Zi Yan didn't know the term "childlike face with a huge penis," otherwise she would definitely have used it on Qing Lin.

"Her name is Ziyan. She smelled the aroma of our barbecue and came to freeload!" Chen Yang explained with a smile as he took the plate from Qinglin's hand and placed it on the stone table.

"Hello, Ziyan! My name is Qinglin. Welcome to visit me!" Qinglin said with a smile as she walked up to Ziyan and bent down.

Having been by the young master's side for so long, and seeing that all the women around him were older than her, she finally met a little one, and suddenly felt like she wanted to be the older sister.

So Qinglin took the initiative to approach Ziyan and greet her.

"Hello, Sister Qinglin!" Seeing Qinglin greet her, Ziyan, though a magical beast, was not ignorant of etiquette. The little girl stood up and looked at Qinglin sweetly, calling her "sister" obediently.

Qinglin immediately smiled like an aunt and reached out to touch Ziyan's head. However, in the face of Qinglin's affection, Ziyan darted away in a flash, so fast that Qinglin was surprised.

"Young Master, she..." Qinglin turned to look at Chen Yang with a question in her mind.

"Zi Yan is a magical beast that accidentally ate the Transformation Grass and transformed. Although she is small in size, she is actually a fifth-order magical beast comparable to a Dou Wang. With your current strength, you are no match for her!" Chen Yang explained with a chuckle, and Qing Lin immediately understood.

"Logically speaking, someone so young to be at the fifth rank should have an extremely powerful bloodline. How could her parents..." Having followed Chen Yang for nearly two years, she had learned a lot and knew that the appearance of a magical beast after its transformation would be similar to its corresponding human age. For example, Medusa transformed into a stunning beauty, the Amethyst Winged Lion King transformed into a beautiful woman in her thirties, and if the Little Amethyst Winged Lion King transformed, it would be a cute little boy!

"I have no parents!" Zi Yan suddenly shouted, but then she lowered her head and looked dejected. She sat a little more than two meters away with her small stool, hugged her legs and murmured with her eyes a little moist, "From the time I became conscious, I have lived alone in the deep mountains. When I was a child, I could only run away in shame after being bullied by other guys. Until I ate the Transformation Grass, the Grand Elder found me and brought me to the inner courtyard, and I have stayed here ever since."

Upon hearing about Zi Yan's background, Qing Lin immediately felt a deep empathy. Although she had a mother, it was practically the same as not having one. She had lived a precarious existence in Shimo City since childhood, and her life was no better than Zi Yan's.

Qinglin glanced at Chen Yang, who nodded slightly. She slowly stepped forward and squatted down, then pulled up her sleeve to reveal a patch of blue scales: "Ziyan, look, I am also a descendant of humans and snake people. I was bullied when I was young, but later I met the young master. The young master provided me with food and clothing and taught me cultivation, which is why I am Qinglin today."

Speaking of happiness, Qinglin smiled and said, "I understand your past pain, but we're all doing well now. At least you won't be bullied here!"

Zi Yan stared blankly at the blue scales on Qing Lin's arm. Listening to what Qing Lin said, she suddenly felt that she wasn't so miserable after all. She hadn't just been robbing Elder Hao's medicinal herbs in the inner courtyard; she was also educated.

It can be said that she has read the books that the students in the inner academy have read, and she has also read the books that they have not read. She naturally understands what the situation is like for the descendants of humans and snake people in human society.

Moreover, it is a miracle that Sister Qinglin has survived to this day.

"Thank you, Sister Qinglin!" Ziyan smiled sweetly at Qinglin.

"Come on, even Young Master Xiao Yan said the meat he grilled was delicious. Let's try it together?" Qing Lin stood up and reached out to Zi Yan's head. This time, Zi Yan did not refuse. Instead, she let Qing Lin touch her head. Then, she reached out and grabbed Qing Lin's hand, stood up, and skipped over to the grilled meat.

Soon, Xun'er, Xiao Linghu, Jia Wuhao, and seven new students from the inner academy who had helped with the cooking arrived. When they discovered Zi Yan, everyone except Xun'er curiously gathered around.

As for Xun'er, she could tell at a glance that Zi Yan was neither human nor an ordinary magical beast.

'Why is Chen Yang surrounded by such outstanding individuals…' Xun'er muttered to herself, then glanced at her brother Xiao Yan, 'Luckily, Brother Xiao Yan has me by his side!'

Well... what Xun'er didn't know was that Chen Yang was just riding on Xiao Yan's good luck. It's just that Chen Yang was stronger, so it looked like it was his luck.

Putting the plot aside, the episode in which Xiao Yan encounters the Six-Winged Tiger King is enough to show that he is incredibly lucky.

"Come on, let's divide the meat!" After Xiao Yan had grilled all the meat, he added fire-type Dou Qi to keep it warm so it wouldn't cool down too quickly. Chen Yang then called out to people to come and divide the meat.

Immediately, a cacophony of female voices filled the courtyard as everyone crowded around. However, when Hu Jia and the others saw that there was only one skewer of meat on their plates, they were all stunned.

Such a big piece of meat, and you only give us one skewer?

"What are you looking at? Aren't you afraid of eating yourselves to death if I give you too much? This is the meat of a peak seventh-tier magical beast, and the seasonings are comparable to fourth-grade pills. Just this one skewer is worth two and a half years of your hard training. If you have fire energy after eating it, go to the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower for seclusion. When you come out, you will at least advance three stars!" Chen Yang looked at the Canaan Academy students with clear yet foolish eyes and laughed and scolded them.

"Huh???" Upon hearing this, Hu Jia and the others were all stunned. Even Zi Yan, who had a meat skewer in each hand, was dumbfounded. She was fierce, not stupid. She knew what a peak seventh-order magical beast was. It was a terrifying existence that could pick up Elder Su Qian and kick him like a ball. And now, it had become their meal?

"Thank you, Elder!"

"Thank you, Elder!"

"Thank you, Elder..."

Wu Hao was the first to react, holding the meat skewers and bowing deeply to Chen Yang. The others followed suit, bowing to Chen Yang.

The meat of a seventh-tier magical beast—they didn't even know if they'd ever have the chance to see it in their lifetime, let alone eat it. And now they were actually able to eat a skewer of it, with seasonings comparable to fourth-grade pills. This... this was probably a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for them.

"Eat up, everyone. After you finish eating, go into seclusion to cultivate. The stronger you are, the easier it will be for Ling'er and Xun'er!" He was only letting these students eat the flesh of the Tyrannosaurus God because of Xiao Ling and Xun'er. Otherwise, he and Wu Hao and Hu Jia were not related. He might have helped others bully them, but there was no need for him to bring out such good things.

"Yes, Elder Chen!" Without any hesitation, everyone picked up the meat skewers and stuffed them into their mouths to eat. Wu Hao wolfed them down in one gulp, while the girls chewed them carefully. To be honest, they were quite delicious.

Chen Yang chuckled, picked up a skewer of meat, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed a few times, and then nodded to Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan chuckled and picked up a skewer to eat.

After Hu Jia, Wu Hao, and the others finished eating, they rushed out and headed straight for the Heavenly Flame Refining Tower. In the blink of an eye, only six people, two beasts, and one soul remained in Chen Yang's courtyard.

"Xun'er, Ling'er, although you two are stronger than them, don't eat too much. Five skewers is the limit!"

"Xiao Yan and Qing Lin, you two have a maximum of twenty skewers!"

"As for Zi Yan... eat as much as you want!"

Given the unique nature of Zi Yan's Taixu Ancient Dragon Clan, let alone a few dozen kilograms of Tyrannosaurus God's flesh, even if she ate the entire Tyrannosaurus God, it would probably only allow her to evolve to the sixth rank.

"Waaah... Thank you, Chen Yang. You're such a good person. As long as Elder Su Qian agrees, I'll definitely follow you." Zi Yan was like a cooking machine, eating one skewer in her left hand and another in her right, finishing two skewers of meat in ten seconds. Her mouth was covered in oil, which made Chen Yang hungry just watching her.

After finishing the meal, Ziyan had devoured two-thirds of the dozens of kilograms of meat skewers. The little girl was clutching her stomach at the end, but she still looked like she wanted more.

Qinglin looked at Ziyan, whose mouth was dirty, took her aside and washed her, then brought the clean girl back.

"Hehe, thank you, Sister Qinglin. No one has ever been so kind to me. Chen Yang is the first, and you are the second!" Su Qian brought her back and basically let her roam free. She didn't treat her like a magical beast, but she didn't treat her like a human either.

"Hey, Zi Yan, I worked so hard to grill this meat, and you're not even going to thank me?" Xiao Yan looked at Zi Yan and said teasingly.

"Hehe, I know all that. Chen Yang brought out this meat. You're just a cook. When you go to a restaurant, do you thank the cook?" Zi Yan stuck out her tongue at Xiao Yan, took Qing Lin's hand, and shook her head as she spoke.

"Hey! You know what, you really do know..." Xiao Yan thought to himself that it really made sense.

"Good girl, Young Master Xiao Yan has worked very hard too. If you really want to follow him, then everyone around him will be your friend!" Qing Lin reached out and patted Zi Yan's head, saying to her.

"Oh!" Zi Yan nodded with a slight pout, then looked at Xiao Yan, "Thank you, Xiao Yan!"

"You're welcome, Ziyan!"

Chen Yang watched the group playing around and was quite happy lying on the recliner. Life was getting more and more interesting.

……

After they finished eating, it was still early, so Xiao Yan and Xun'er left for the next room to do some things that adults enjoy. Of course, Xiao Yan definitely wouldn't get to eat any meat.

Xiao Ling stayed with Chen Yang, who gave her some guidance on her combat skills. Later that evening, Xiao Ling took her leave, turning back to look at him several times as she went.

Zi Yan had a happy day and was reluctant to leave Chen Yang's place. However, she was old enough to know that there were some things she shouldn't bother Chen Yang with, so she left after nightfall.

Before leaving, Chen Yang told her that if she found the medicinal herbs unpalatable, she could bring them over and he would refine them into pills for her, which would taste much better. Zi Yan was overjoyed and, instead of going home, went straight to the medicinal herb storage warehouse.

The little girl hadn't run more than a few steps when she turned back, pointed to the small stool in Chen Yang's courtyard, and said, "Um... could you give it to me..."

Chen Yang smiled and nodded, then flicked his fighting spirit to send it in front of Zi Yan.

"Hehe, thank you Chen Yang!" Zi Yan giggled, put the small stool into her storage ring, and then skipped and hopped towards the medicinal herb management warehouse!

In the stillness of the night, Chen Yang went to bed and slept soundly.

Just two and a half minutes after he fell asleep, a slender figure tiptoed in. Chen Yang pretended not to notice and continued to pretend to be asleep. He did not use his soul power to sense the person. He could tell from the air currents created by the person's movements that it was Qing Lin. He just didn't know what Qing Lin was doing in his room in the middle of the night.

"Swoosh..."

The girl came to Chen Yang's bedside, blushed, and lingered for a few seconds before gently reaching for the belt around her waist.

Half a minute later, there was another person in Chen Yang's bed.

"Qinglin, you..." Chen Yang could no longer pretend to be asleep. If he continued to pretend to be asleep, he might not get to experience the cycling game today.

Qinglin clung to Chen Yang's arm, her timid voice softly rang out: "Young Master, Qinglin turns eighteen today..."

Chapter 128 Scheming in Demon Flame Valley!

Gazing at the bright moon above Canaan College outside the window, Chen Yang felt incredibly content. After a while, he drifted off to sleep.

The next day, Qinglin's biological clock, which she had developed over the past year, woke her up early, and the fatigue in her body had long since dissipated thanks to her terrifying talent.

The young woman looked tenderly at Chen Yang, who was still asleep beside her, a slightly alluring smile playing on her lips. Since last night, she was no longer just the young master's maid, but—

"Getting up so early?" Chen Yang's senses were incredibly sharp. When Qing Lin woke up and looked at him, he sensed something and immediately opened his eyes to look at Qing Lin.

"Qinglin is going to help the young master get up." Qinglin's thoughts were interrupted, so she stopped thinking about it and smiled gently as she got up from the bed.
