Chapter 40: Shocking Talent! The Secret Scroll

It exceeded one tenth, two tenths, three tenths…

Yanyan felt as if her heart was about to jump out of her chest.

The flame touched Yang Dingtian’s palm, but it wasn’t hot at all. It gave him a mysterious feeling as if it were alive.

Suddenly, the flame suddenly reacted!

“Oh my God…,” Yanyan said in shock, not daring to believe what she was seeing.

As soon as the flame touched Yang Dingtian’s hand, it became extremely violent and sharp, swiftly growing longer and thicker. It turned into a blue flame sword and pierced through the water towards Yang Dingtian’s forehead. It was a one-meter long flame sword, while this cube of water merely measured one foot on each side.

It was a flame sword that measured over one meter long!

Yang Dingtian exclaimed and exhaled, and Yanyan rushed to save him. However, when the Flame Sword touched Yang Dingtian’s forehead, it shrank back as fast as lightning and became gentle once again. The flames in the water then grew smaller and smaller.

“Yanyan, what is the rank of my Xuan Veins?” Yang Dingtian looked at the flame in surprise.

Yanyan witnessed everything while she was stunned. After a long time, she only shook her head and said, “I don’t know. I don’t know what rank this phenomenon signifies. The flame rushed out of the water. I’ve never seen nor even heard of such a thing before.”

“But, I finally understand why my father and the uncle Dongfang thought highly of you and placed all their hopes on you.” Yanyan looked at Yang Dingtian with complicated thoughts. “In the future, no matter when or where, never take this Xuan Vein test again in front of anyone.”

At the moment, the sound of footsteps appeared on the outside, and a person passed through the energy gate.

Yang Dingtian immediately withdrew his hands from the water, and the flame instantly returned to its original form, quietly burning in the water.

“No need to hide it. I already know everything.” A girl wearing a red-purplish dress walked in and scanned Yang Dingtian from head to toe several times. “So, you are our Ximen princess’s husband?”

“Tsk Tsk…..” That girl shook her head and said to Yanyan, “Cousin sister, your foresight isn’t that good. This man looks very normal. Even his talent is so ordinary, only third rank.”

“You actually chose someone with just rank three Xuan Veins to be your husband. And, you even dream of turning him into a Six Star Xuan Martial Artist within fifteen days and having him beat all the elites in Cloud Sky City a year and a half year later. Making him the new Cloud Sky City Lord is really the most ridiculous thing in the world.” The girl laughed. “These two boys are my new students. They’ve just passed through the period of enlightenment and will be selecting secret scrolls. However, they are only around ten years old, yet your husband is already over twenty.”

“Ximen Yanyan, you were so arrogant and proud before you turned fifteen. You even said that only a top martial artist was qualified to be your husband. Why would you want such a useless man like him now? You really seem to accept anyone who comes to you,” the girl said sarcastically.

The girl was very beautiful. She was tall and had long legs. She had an exquisite melon face, but her lips were a little too thin. Although she covered it with lip gloss and it wasn’t obvious when her mouth was closed, she couldn’t conceal it once she started speaking. These thin lips prevented her from becoming a consummate beautiful woman.

Yanyan said coldly, “Tang Xin, you change face so quickly. I remember half a year ago, you tried so hard to please me. Even though I threw away the gift you brought me, you still kept smiling.”

“So what?” Tang Xin retorted. “Now that your father is gone, you are no longer the princess of Cloud Sky City. You lost your superior Xuan Veins four years ago. You now only have your bitch face, a pair of big boobs, and a big butt.”

Yanyan was so furious that she trembled and couldn’t even say a word.

“In a year and a half, you will be shamefully married off to the Qin family. Maybe you won’t even be the first wife but merely a mistress,” Tang Xin said with a smile. “Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you. Brother Ximen Ju who was once infatuated with you has asked my dad for his permission to marry me.”

Yanyan was stunned. Ximen Ju’s infatuation with her had indeed reached the point of madness, so much so that had remained single until the age of thirty.

“Brother Ximen Ju really is different from your husband. The gap between them is like the difference between heaven and earth. Cousin sister, I really sympathize with you. You were so arrogant before your father died. Everything is gone now and you’ve been reduced to this state. It really is karma…”

Hearing her thoughtlessly mention her father, Yanyan grew angry. She instantly reached for the weapon on her waist, wanting to draw it and kill this girl. But, she kept her anger in check. While Yanyan used to be extremely demanding, she was also a pretty, naïve, and romantic girl that rarely fought with others. She was unlike this Tang Xin, which was why she was so angry that even her body was trembling.

Yang Dingtian held Yanyan’s cold wrists. He walked between her and Tang Xin and scanned the latter for a moment.

Tang Xin proudly raised her head to let Yang Dingtian get a good look. She was a beautiful woman and had the right to be proud.

“Wow, not bad at all. You’re very tall. In particular, your pair of legs are extraordinarily long.” Yang Dingtian said with a praising tone. “Ximen Ju is a talented young gentleman. You two really are a good match.”

Tang Xin got prouder after hearing Yang Dingtian’s praise. “Cousin sister, Brother Ximen Ju’s previous love for you was all fake. The person that he truly loved was me. Now that your father is no longer around, he immediately came back to me. It’s useless even if get jealous till you vomit blood.”

Yang Dingtian ignored her, his gaze fixed on Tang Xin’s chest. “Breasts are also pretty firm. Butt is curvy. Overall figure is not bad…..”

Yanyan’s face looked extremely awkward. She stared at Yang Dingtian.

Yang Dingtian started laughing. “But unfortunately, your breasts are fake. You stuffed something in it. Your butt is also not round as you also stuffed something down there. I am very worried about you. Will Ximen Ju ask for a refund when he sleeps with you?”

“Of course, the most important part is your mouth. It’s thin and wide. Your lower body really matches your lips ….Aaaa…..” Yang Dingtian didn’t get to finish because Yanyan pinched his waist hard. He yelled in pain.

Yang Dingtian endured the pain, closed his eyes, and continued, “Look at Yanyan. There isn’t a part of her body that isn’t perfect. Even her angry look is ten thousand times more attractive than when you act cute. Aaaaaa…..”

Yang Dingtian screamed for the second time. Yanyan was now using two hands to pinch him.

“Don’t think that because something happened to City Lord Ximen, you can become a princess. Stop dreaming. Cloud Sky City only has one princess, and that is Yanyan. Don’t be in a rush to take revenge. The first person that will want to kill you if you act like this is none other than your Brother Ximen Ju.”

Tang Xin got so angry that her face became a little distorted because Yang Dingtian had managed to hit all her weak spots. She had already tried to cover up her deficiencies, but Yang Dingtian managed to reveal and magnify them.

“I’ll kill you….” Suddenly, the furious Tang Xin drew a long sword and was about to pierce it through Yang Dingtian.

“Enough…..” Suddenly, a voice sounded out outside. It was Ximen Ju’s voice. Immediately, Tang Xin froze.

Ximen Ju didn’t come in, but he kept talking from the outside. “Tang Xin, do what you came here to do.”

“Okay!” Tang Xin’s face was filled with fear. She was worried that he overheard Yang Dingtian point out her deficiencies. Ximen Ju’s sigh caused her entire body to tremble. It was obvious that she really loved him.

After hearing Ximen Ju, she immediately brought her two students into the fifth rank martial arts room and carefully closed the door.

Ximen Ju still didn’t come in but said coldly, “Only a clown would need to be good at talking. Did you come to Cloud Sky City just to be a clown?”

He didn’t even call out Yang Dingtian’s name. It’s obvious that he viewed him as an insignificant person.

Yang Dingtian smiled. “A man should always protect his woman. I am weak now and can’t fight your woman with fists. Therefore, I could only fight with my mouth. Sorry if I made you laugh.”

“Hopefully, you’ll be able to beat your opponents in half a month,” Ximen Ju said coldly and left.

Yanyan tilted her small head and looked at Yang Dingtian strangely. “You understand women’s bodies so well? Even though Tang Xin was dressed, you were able to see through her body?”

Yang Dingtian massaged his waist. “Even if I have never eaten pork before, I might have still seen a pig run.”

Yanyan asked, “And what did you mean just now? Were you saying that I only have a beautiful face and can only be a vase?”

“Yanyan, you’re acting mischievously now. What else do you need when you’re already so beautiful?” Yang Dingtian asked. “But, I swear that I will stop using my words to fight others. I’ll stop using them to protect you.”

Yanyan rolled her eyes and glared at Yang Dingtian. “It’s good that you know. Besides, Tang Xin is actually also a pitiful girl.”

….

Now was the time for him to select a secret scroll to study. The rank of the secret scroll he would get depended on the rank of his Xuan veins.

In front of him, there were a total of ten secret scroll rooms. There were the ranking one to nine rooms as well as an unlabeled tenth room.

“Yanyan, which room should I enter? Which rank secret scroll should I study?” Yang Dingtian asked.

Ximen Yanyan replied, “Let’s go. Follow me.”

Yanyan brought Yang Dingtian to one of the rooms. However, it was the rank eight room instead of the rank nine one.

Yang Dingtian was stunned but still followed her inside.

The interior of the rank eight martial arts room only measured a few hundred square meters in area. There were only three bookshelves. On the first shelf, there were five scrolls. On the second shelf, there were three scrolls. The third shelf only had one scroll.

In total, there were only nine secret scrolls.

“Why are there so few?” Yang Dingtian asked.

“The higher the rank, the fewer the number of available secret scrolls,” Yanyan explained. “The rank one martial arts room has thousands of secret scrolls. When it reaches the seventh rank, there are only eighty secret scrolls. Although I don’t know what your talent is, it should be very high, so the martial arts you should learn should be selected from these nine scrolls.”

“Remember, once you choose a secret scroll, you can never change it. A martial artist can only learn one martial arts skill from the first to ninth stages. He must choose it very carefully. It completely determines your future achievements. I will introduce each secret scroll, after which you make the choice.”
