91 Aftermath of the battle. (2/2)

It was only upon receiving her reminder that Li Yang remembered that he had indeed been promised that he would get to take on the test to become an inner disciple one year after joining the clan. There had been so many things he had to do that the fact had completely slipped his mind.

Luckily, he had increased his strength quite a bit, so he felt confident that he could become an inner disciple, which would not only give him access to better training grounds, but it would also make it so that the clan allocated more resources to him.

He wanted to thank Yuan Luoyang for reminding him, but she and the other inner disciples had already vanished. She had only come to observe his fight, and the others had only come to get closer to Yuan Luoyang, so now that the fight was over, none of them had any reason to stay any longer.

Li Yang continued to leave the arena, ignoring those that tried to approach him, he had to focus on healing, he had no time to deal with all these people who were trying to lick his feet now that he had showed his strength. Luckily, Xiang Wuying aided him in keeping some of the more persistent people as well as the other top outer disciples away. As one of the top five outer disciples, Xiang Wuying's words carried quite some weight here, so most people quickly caught the hint and left Li Yang alone.

Of course, now that Li Yang had brutally trashed Yuan Yijun, a hushed discussion broke out over whether or not the top five outer disciples should become the top six outer disciples or if they should take away Yuan Yijun's title. Some were in favor of having Li Yang become the sixth top outer disciple, but that created some dispute between the remaining top disciples about how they should split up their territories so that Li Yang got some.

Li Yang completely ignored these discussions and returned to his house, he had no interest in acquiring territory or servants, so he truly didn't care what they decided to do. As long as the other top outer disciples left him alone, he would be more than pleased. And if they chose to not leave them alone, he would not mind dragging them down from their thrones, just like he had done with Yuan Yijun.

Blackstone and the two other servants that Li Yang had been assigned quickly rushed forth to greet him when they saw that he had returned. They wanted to congratulate him on his victory, but he simply waved them aside and gave them a quick order.

”Don't disturb me while I focus on healing. Only notify me if an inner disciple arrives, you can just send away anyone else.”

After tossing out the order, he locked himself up in his room and sat down on his bed, quickly taking out and putting the pill Yuan Luoyang had given him into his mouth. He didn't pay much attention to his wounds, but that did not mean that they weren't severe, quite a few of his bones were horribly shattered after all.

He didn't immediately swallow the pill, letting it slowly melt in his mouth, allowing the medicinal energy and the Qi within it to slowly seep into his body. He used his own Qi to guide the medicinal energy towards his shattered bones, surrounding them and speeding up the healing process. The blood of Jinwu and Shenlong that had fused with Li Yang already gave him a greatly strengthened recovery rate, but he saw no harm in speeding up the process even further using pills, it would give him more time to cultivate after all.

He wanted to focus on fully healing himself, but just like he had guessed, that was impossible. Three days after his battle with Yuan Yijun, shortly after he had managed to fully heal both of his hands, Blackstone interrupted his healing.

”Senior Brother Yang, an inner disciple says he is here on behalf of Elder Gengxin!”

Li Yang opened his eyes and let out a light sigh. He had already expected something like this to happen when he first made the agreement with Yuan Ruogang. His strength was far above his cultivation, and his cultivation speed was far faster than it should be, a mere youth from some village should not have this cultivation speed.

He stood up from the bed and switched into a fresh robe, using his law of lightning to control his arms. His hands were healed, but his arms and chest were still wounded, so he was still quite far away from being back to full power. After putting on a fresh yellow robe, he stretched his waist, muttering quietly before leaving the room.

”Alright, let's go lie to some old fogies.”
