Chapter 22 – Seven Star Condensed Prime (2/2)

Behind the three men leading the way were more than ten chatty teenagers, all of them with a smirk on their faces while boasting and trashing the Ye family. They were the challengers from the Du family and some of the strongest teenagers in Green Moon City. Within the group was one of the top five strongest teens in the city: the six star Warrior Du Han Yue!

The Ye family stared at the Du family with hatred while they entered the arena Their businesses were at the worst point they had ever been at with the last two months being especially rough.

Being poor was okay, but to live without dignity was not. As such right now protecting the family’s ancestral graves was all that was on the Ye family’s mind.

“Yuan Ming, do you see their faces? Apparently the Ye family hates you by the looks of it!” The chubby Dong He was amused by their aggressive postures.

“If you’re not hated, then you’re doing it wrong!” The master of Du family shared some life philosophy with him, “Business is war in a sense, if you lose you can’t blame anyone but yourself!”

“Ha, I guess you are right to an extent. But it’s not exactly fair for the Ye family now that you have Lu Feng in the boat on top of the connection your family has. Taking over their mystic scroll and arms business was a certainty from the start right?” Dong Ho had been business partners with the Du family for a while now, he more or less knew their tactics inside out.

Master Yi, Master Mu, and Master Ning were the only three Runemasters in Green Moon City. Rumour has it that Lu Feng was Master Mu’s love child.

He was master Mu’s first apprentice and the main reason the Ye family’s scroll and arms sales were in the dumps. He was the supplierof the Du family for this business attack.

“It’s in both our family’s and Lu Feng’s interest, he did his part in securing our supplies and now we just need to get what he wants from the Ye’s to finish the deal!” Du Yuan Ming had an evil smile on his face. Lu Feng promised to sign a thirty year supply contract if the Du family would give him the Ye family’s ancestral land next to North Hill Bay!

“The Ye family doesn’t have a say in this; we will deliver when our youngsters destroy their kids today!” General Zhou’s deep voice had great presence. He was appointed by Lu Feng to make sure Ye Zheng Qing handed over the deed once the fight was won.

“Mister Ye, it’s been three months now. You look a lot older than when we last met! You have to take care of your body, if you pass away these young ones may end up on the streets! Hahahaha!” Du Yuan Ming stared at Ye Zheng Qing and shouted, the volume of his laugh was as immense as thunder. His statement rang out and was heard clearly by every single member of the audience.

The staggering power of a seven star Condensed Prime Warrior, he broke through…

The impulse knocked everyone in the arena back a few steps, as most of the audience were ordinary Students who seldom got the chance to meet even their own family master. This was their first time witnessing a person this highly ranked. There were only around ten people who had reached this level!

Ye Zheng Qing stood in front of the Ye family, using his Qi as a shield to protect himself and the family members behind him: “Just worry about your own problems, my aged body is in good shape it’s got at least fifty more years to go! Though I have seen stronger men than you through the years I have lived mister Du, and sadly, most of them are not alive now for some reason!”

Ye Zheng Qing’s voice did not pack as much power, but it had a penetrating quality dissolving the pressure from Du Yuan Ming’s sonic waves.

Although grandpa did all he could to shield his clan, Ye Wei who was standing away in the corner still felt the pressure, and he was too weak… His Sentient felt like it was about to be crushed under the pressure.

“No! I can’t faint here everyone else is on their feet. I can’t let Du Yuan Ming put me to my knees just by his voice!” Mental strength was the only thing keeping Ye Wei standing up, his forehead was dripping with sweat and his body was cramping.

The seven star Condensed Prime Warrior’s crushing power not only pressured Ye Wei’s body, his Sentient was suffering as well, the stinging sensation was agonising.

‘I will not give in!’ Years of being the weakest in his family had given Ye Wei an impressive iron will. That scream, that willpower came from the bottom of his heart and flipped a switch in his Sentient.

All of a sudden a golden spark was shining bright in his Sentient and created a tiny explosion, fighting back Du Yuan Ming’s power!

“Bang!”

The pain made Ye Wei’s face pale, but he felt stronger somehow his Sentient was expanding!

Ye Wei’s Sentient took over his body, filling it with Qi and strengthening his bones and muscles; It made him a three star Student!

Ye Wei was bare conscious, but he did notice that he broke through. ‘What just happened?’ He was surprised and confused. For any other Student, cultivating would become harder once they hit seven stars having to master mystic runes. But with Ye Wei, it was the opposite for him and he knew it. When he gets to seven star level he can start using stances and gain cosmic energy from creating and refining stances due to his superior runic knowledge. Not only would he not slow down, his cultivation would speed up immensely.

‘Not long now, only four more to go then I can truly make a difference!’
