Chapter 456 - "Spar" (1/2)
As Solar Son contemplates on what plan he needed to do, one of the cloaked experts threw something at him.
Solar Son caught it: ”What's this?”
He looked at the crystal, dimly lit blue crystal, emitting a foul black aura around it.
The cloaked expert smirked: ”It's your final reward as a human, you once said you wished to be like us right? Then, it's your chance, it'll help you become far stronger than you are, but only use it as your final card, it's so precious that the lady only has six of them, treasure this opportunity well.”
The other one then added: ”Well, if you don't get the chance to use it, you can return it to milady, you will be rewarded a lot by then.”
”Succeed with your plan and return this crystal, it'll be the most glorious reward, not even us, her subordinates had ever received.”
Hearing this, Solar Son's eyes widened, he smiled and clenched his fist on the crystal: ”I'll definitely treasure this!”
”Un.” The two cloaked experts nodded, but within their veil, a smile etched on their face.

Meanwhile, Mo Xie couldn't help but sigh. Pushed to a role he didn't want to take, he made his way to Tu Jianfeng and Ha Qiqi.
He also placed his grand guest elder token on his left chest and spoke: ”Young man, I heard that you're the greatest genius of the Empire?”
Hearing this, the chatter between the four stopped and looked at Mo Xie, then, like a thunderbolt striking the three, they all became shocked and immediately made their way to Mo Xie.
”Tu Jianfeng (Ouyang Qianfei, Tu Xuanli) pays our respect to the elder.” The trio spoke respectfully. As the grand guest elder of the Imperial Sky Sect, Mo Xie's standing is not beneath that of Tu Xuanfeng's.
Hence, the trio didn't dally further and greeted, although their standing is just beneath his, the rules of seniority is still present.
Mo Xie couldn't get used to such antics from other people, he waved his hands: ”Please, don't be too courteous, as a young man myself, I don't dare accept such greetings from a person above my age and two beautiful ladies. Just call me Mo Xie.”
Qianfei, Xuanfeng's wife retained her looks when she's in her thirties, while Xuanli retained her looks from when she's fifty. Although they looked like that, the former is already beyond two hundred years old while the latter is at more than five hundred.
Tu Jianfeng is only a twenty-five-year-old youth, he was born when Tu Xuanfeng reached mid-stage Divine Origin rank.
Hearing his words, Tu Xuanli smiled: ”You jest, since you don't want to be called that, then, can I call you little Mo?”
Qianfei smiled: ”Then, I'll call you brother Mo if sir does not mind.”
Mo Xie smiled, he nodded his head: ”Of course, being called like that by two beauties is an honor of mine.”
Tu Xuanfeng couldn't help but smile: ”Then, does that make him a brother of mine as well.”
Qianfei rolled her eyes: ”Just stay there and don't ruin the atmosphere.”
They started idle talking immediately, meanwhile, Tu Jianfeng couldn't help but be a shock.
He couldn't believe what he just found out, Mo Xie is only at Sky Shattering rank, although that's the case, he's a grand guest elder of the Imperial Sky Sect?
Who is he? The greatest youth of the Empire, he remained uncontested even after five years of not cultivating at all, yet, a boy not younger than five years his age already surpassed him in his standings to the point that he and his father are the same?
Jianfeng's eyes glowed as the interest in Mo Xie was aroused: ”Elder Mo, you were looking for me?”
Mo Xie looked at him and nodded his head in a troublesome manner: ”I've heard that you're quite accomplished with your path in cultivation, hence, I'd like to exchange some pointers.”
Jianfeng smiled: ”Elder is praising me too much, I'm merely waiting for a good chance.”
”As to exchange pointers, I'll definitely do try to share some if I have something to impart with you.”
After speaking, he looked at Mo Xie: ”Then, in which path do you wish to have an exchange with?”
Mo Xie sighed, he smiled wryly before replying: ”I'd like to spar with you, to see what the heights of the uncontended expert of the empire's younger generation is like.”
Jianfeng couldn't help but be shocked: ”That... then, elder, I'll lower my cultivation to your level.”
Mo Xie shook his head: ”No need to, I'd appreciate it if you can actually use your full strength.”
”This...” Not knowing how to respond, Jianfeng looked at his father wryly.
Xuanfeng had heard from both the Earth Prince and Ouyang Tou of Mo Xie's exploits, how he had played with Solar Son who is a Celestial Phenomenon ranked expert at that time while only being at the Sky Shattering rank.
But of course, hearing it and seeing it for himself are two different things, hence, he didn't believe it completely.
But it's also one of the reasons he couldn't let his son unmotivated any further, the princes are already catching up to him, Solar Son's cultivation reaching the Celestial Phenomenon rank also says a lot of things, especially for the Sword Scion, the Church's strongest youth, the son of the cult leader, they may have already caught up to Jianfeng!
