High Martial Arts Storm

Yang Haocheng realized that the gift Chen Ziying had brought out was probably extremely valuable, and even a three-star Battle King realm expert felt tempted by it.

only……

Why?

If Chen Ziying only wanted to get close to him, or even befriend him, she wouldn't have needed to invest so much effort, and she wouldn't have needed to help him recruit Wolf Eagle and Tiger Eagle.

"Come on, let's drink!"

Chen Ziying smiled slightly, picked up her wine glass, and said.

After finishing a few glasses of wine.

Chen Ziying stood up and said with a faint smile, "Yang Haocheng, I've also prepared a gift for you. Let's go! See me off."

"good!"

Yang Haocheng got up and followed him out.

Outside the palace gates.

Chen Ziying stopped and turned to look at Yang Haocheng, smiling faintly, "Are you confused, not understanding why I'm helping you so wholeheartedly? Are you even wondering why I recognized Mo Yan as my sister? Why I personally appeared to help you out when you and your brother were in trouble?"

"Yes, please enlighten me," Yang Haocheng said earnestly.

"I don't like it when you use the formal 'you' in your address; it makes me feel old," Chen Ziying said.

"You don't look old at all, you look only around thirty years old, you are stunningly beautiful," Yang Haocheng said.

"I like hearing that. You can say it more often in the future," Chen Ziying said with a smile. "If I told you that I did all these things so that your sister could get married sooner, would you believe me?"

"What do you mean?"

"Have you forgotten what you said? Your Yang family is destined to surpass the Jin family, surpass the power Jin Mengli possesses, and surpass the family behind her," Chen Ziying reminded her.

"Well……"

Yang Haocheng's expression froze.

"The foundation for a thriving family is a large and prosperous population with many offspring. Since Tang Xue was able to take the opportunity to make her choice, why can't I lend you a hand?" Chen Ziying said with a smile.

"No, that's not enough," Yang Haocheng said, shaking his head.

"Let's make a deal! If you can break through to the Battle Venerable Realm before you turn forty, I will prepare my wedding dress and add a son to your Yang family," Chen Ziying said with a smile.

"..."

Yang Haocheng suddenly felt enlightened.

understood!

He understood everything!

Today, Tang Xue is taking this opportunity to get closer to him, and Chen Ziying is also playing the same card.

They weren't after her body, but rather valued her martial arts talent and were investing in her future achievements.

"Are you laughing, feeling smug?" Chen Ziying's smile gradually faded.

"It's not that I'm proud, it's just that a word came to mind," Yang Haocheng said with a smile.

"What words?"

"Equivalent exchange".

Chen Ziying was taken aback. Looking into Yang Haocheng's eyes, a smile returned to her face, even brighter than before.

"I thought you were just a child, but I didn't expect you to be so mature," Chen Ziying said with a smile. "The term 'equivalent exchange' is correct, but it requires an emotional foundation. Otherwise, you're just an inhuman profit-driven machine, and living like that is too meaningless."

"Do we have any emotional foundation?" Yang Haocheng asked in return.

"Feelings can be cultivated slowly! Besides... it will take you a long time to break through to the Battle Venerable Realm! I will pay attention to you and get to know you. If you can impress me in the process, maybe you can really win my heart!" Chen Ziying said with a smile.

"You're right, feelings can be cultivated slowly." Yang Haocheng grinned, opened his arms, and asked, "How about some interest first?"

"hehe!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Chen Ziying stepped forward and hugged Yang Haocheng. Feeling Yang Haocheng's body stiffen, she gently patted his back and smiled, "Cultivate well and strive to amaze me..."

talking.

She took two steps back, took out three jade bottles, and stuffed them into Yang Haocheng's hand.

"This is……"

"They all have gifts, so naturally I have to prepare one for you too." After saying that, Chen Ziying turned around and flew away into the distance. She did not use the frisbee because a Battle Venerable Realm expert is already able to fly.

Silver Lotus Heart-Refining Elixir!

Golden Lotus Refines the Heart Elixir!

Seven-Colored Heart-Refining Elixir!

As Yang Haocheng looked at the labels on the three jade bottles, his smile grew wider.

He recalled a very interesting saying he saw online:

"It smells so good, even though I'm an older lady."

He then returned to the hall.

Seeing the pairs of eyes looking at him, Yang Haocheng smiled and said, "Don't look at me, everyone. Eat and drink as you please. Go back and get a good night's sleep. Starting tomorrow, let's all work hard in our cultivation and strive to break through to the Battle Venerable Realm in the future."

Battle Venerable Realm?

Everyone burst into laughter.

For many of them, the ultimate goal is simply to reach the Battle King realm.

As for the Battle Venerable Realm, they might dream about it, but achieving it in reality is extremely difficult.

While drinking and eating.

While everyone was distracted, Yang Xinlan whispered to Yang Haocheng, "Everyone else's jade bottle contains only one pill, but my jade bottle contains ten pills."

Ten?

Ten golden lotuses to refine the heart elixir?

Would a woman as stunningly beautiful and incredibly capable as Chen Ziying need to curry favor with her sister-in-law beforehand?

His expression shifted, and he immediately examined the three jade bottles. He found that the bottles containing the Silver Lotus Heart Refining Pill and the Golden Lotus Heart Refining Pill each contained a full ten pills, while the bottle containing the Seven-Colored Heart Refining Pill contained only three pills.

"Sister, is the Seven-Colored Heart-Refining Pill very precious?" Yang Haocheng asked in a low voice.

"See for yourself!"

Yang Xinlan sent Yang Haocheng a message with the price of the Seven-Colored Heart-Refining Pill in the terminal mall.

Three billion Star Coins?

Is a Seven-Colored Heart-Refining Pill really this expensive?

Yang Haocheng couldn't help but gasp.

immediately.

He quickly checked the prices of the Silver Lotus Heart Refining Pill and the Golden Lotus Heart Refining Pill, which were 300 million star coins and 1 billion star coins per pill, respectively.

The total value of the pills Chen Ziying gave herself... exceeded 10 billion star coins?

Yang Haocheng was so shocked that he couldn't speak.

It was late at night.

As the banquet ended, the members of the Ghost Team left with Tang Xue, and Yang Haocheng saw Mo Yan off from the palace.

"Do you really believe what happened today?" Yang Haocheng asked, looking at Mo Yan's delicate and lovely face.

"Before answering your question, could you answer one of my questions?" Mo Yan asked softly.

"you say!"

"What does Chen Ziying want to do?" Mo Yan asked.

"she……"

Yang Haocheng looked hesitant.

"What? Can't you say? Or don't you know either?" Mo Yan stared straight at Yang Haocheng, grabbed his wrist, and said seriously, "Don't lie to me."

"I'm not lying to you." Yang Haocheng took a deep breath and said seriously, "She's taking a huge gamble, betting that I can break through to the Battle Venerable Realm before I turn forty. If I do, she'll marry me."

Mo Yan's body trembled.

An expression of disbelief appeared in her eyes, but that expression slowly faded away.

Yes!

That's the only possibility.

No wonder she wanted to recognize me as her sister and even gave me such great benefits.

even……

She offered herself to Yang Haocheng at noon today as a test, to gauge his reaction.

Mo Yan suddenly smiled.

Being used as a pawn by a super strong warrior at the Battle Venerable Realm didn't bother her; on the contrary, she felt she had made a huge profit.

Yang Haocheng...

This man is too outstanding.

Even without those schemes and external forces, the more time I spend with him in the future, the more I'll probably be drawn to him and eventually fall in love with him...

"Yang Haocheng, I'm serious about what happened today. Will you leave me?" Mo Yan asked with a smile.

"Won't."

Yang Haocheng smiled broadly and said, "If a beautiful woman throws herself at me, and I turn her away, wouldn't that be foolish!"

"You don't push any of the beautiful women away?" Mo Yan asked.

"No, it can only be what I like."

"So, you like me too?"

"There's nothing I can do. You look like an angel, and you have such a good personality. You started helping me the very first time we met..."

"Stop talking."

Mo Yan took two steps forward, hugged Yang Haocheng, quickly took out the frisbee, and soared into the air.

As Yang Haocheng watched Mo Yan's departing figure, the smile on his face gradually faded.

He was happy, but also worried.

He was unaware of all this messy stuff. If Lan Xinlin found out, would she be unhappy?

"Never mind, I'll go cultivate."

Yang Haocheng turned around and went to the cultivation room.

at this time.

There were quite a lot of people inside.

Yang Xinlan was cultivating, and Yang Yi and the other four women were also cultivating.

Yang Haocheng walked to a corner, sat down cross-legged, took out a jade bottle from his storage device, poured out a Silver Lotus Heart Refining Pill, and swallowed it directly.

soon.

The Silver Lotus Heart-Refining Pill transformed into a surging heat current, flowing through the limbs and bones.

The medicine is very potent, but its effects are mild.

Yang Haocheng's refining speed was very fast. With the assistance of the Storm Aura, he refined and absorbed all the medicinal power contained in the Silver Lotus Heart Refining Pill in just over two hours.

He was shocked.

In just over two hours, he opened up six blocked acupoints, broke through to the eighth-star warrior realm, and his combat power reached 28.5.

immediately!

His attention was focused on the system interface:

"The 'Blessed Land' system, initial system, third stage, bound quantity: 3."

"Host: Yang Haocheng, male, 18..."

Combat Strength: Eight-Star Warrior Realm (28.5/29)

"Mental Strength: Level 1 (4.6)"

"Mental Strength: Level 1 (3.4)"

"Combat power increase: 0.4"

"Campus Merit Ranking: 9098".

"Combat Skills: Blazing Sun Blade Technique, Silver Rank (Proficiency 7.1); Thirteen Mad Slashes, Gold Rank (Proficiency 16.9); Willow Steps, Silver Rank (Proficiency 18.8); Ascending Steps, Gold Rank (Proficiency 9.8)"

"War Soldier: Deep Blue Crystal (Upgradable); Storm Aura."

"Fellow Cultivator Host 1: Lan Xinlin, female, 18... One-Star Battle General Realm, Battle Power: 21.4; Fellow Cultivator Host 2: Mo Yan, female, 18... Nine-Star Battle Officer Realm, Battle Power: 19.9; Fellow Cultivator Host 3: Tang Fei, female, 19... Four-Star Battle General Realm, Battle Power: 24.2."

Yang Haocheng's expression shifted.

He discovered that not only had all the data on the system interface changed, but two new items had also been added:

Mental Strength: Level 1 (4.6)

Mental Strength: Level 1 (3.4)

First level?

So, are both types of power labeled according to a certain level?

After thinking for a moment, he used a terminal communicator to contact Xia Lu.

"Boss, aren't you going to sleep?" Xia Lu's helpless voice came through the communicator.

"I just finished my training and encountered a problem, so I wanted to ask you about it," Yang Haocheng said with a dry laugh.

"Speak! What do you want to ask?"

"There are different levels of mental power cultivation, right?" Yang Haocheng asked.

"Of course there are, there are nine levels in total."

"What level have you reached in your cultivation?" Yang Haocheng asked curiously.

"I didn't major in mental power, so I'm only at the second level right now. But a junior from Wanlian Academy, who majored in mental power, has already broken through to the third level," Xia Lu said.

"What about mental strength?"

"Same, except that those who specialize in mental strength... are very few and far between," Xia Lu said with a smile.

"Understood!"

Yang Haocheng hung up the call.

He hasn't been in his sea of ​​consciousness and sea of ​​mind for very long, so the values ​​he's showing now aren't high. He doesn't think it's a big deal, but he'll try his best to increase his mental and spiritual strength values ​​in the future.

suddenly.

He remembered that there was something he had forgotten to ask, so he dialed Xia Lu's number again.

"Boss, can you ask me everything at once? You don't need to sleep, but I do!" Xia Lu said with a helpless smile.

"Ahem, sorry, sorry, I just forgot to ask. Which junior sister you mentioned who majors in mental power?" Yang Haocheng asked with a dry laugh.

"Ouyang Mengmeng is a sophomore at Wanlian Dao Academy." Xia Lu paused slightly before adding, "Your sister knows her and has her contact information."

"Okay, sweet dreams."
