Fei Ryu's past

12–Fei Ryu's past~~

"what?!"

"What?"

King sima Ryu and queen Fei Ryu shouted in shock at the same time.

Their faces were masked with shock when they heard the determined tone, and they saw a resolute look on shiryu's face, when had their son become so courageous, ever since shiryu's birth he rarely took risk or put himself in a dangerous situation like this.

Sima Ryu was bewildered, he thought carefully of how important this fight this was for Shiryu, this whole LAN clan challenge started with shiryu's fiancé being snatched so Shiryu was likely trying to regain face however this was going to a truly difficult because his cultivation was just too low and the junior that will be participating in the 2 junior matches have an age limit of 20 years, so there will be martial artists at the seed condensing realm from the lan clan including 3rd layer seed condensing LAN feibai participating or, even with the heaven defying means of shiryu's master it would be nearly impossible for him to rapidly increase shiryu's realm without causing him to have an unstable foundation that might affect his future cultivation.

Some moments later, Queen Fei Ryu's tugged at Sima Ryu's sleeve then gave him a meaningful look, obviously wanting him to reject Shiryu's request gracefully.

King Sima Ryu smiled in response then he turned to look at Shiryu eyes deeply, his gaze intent wanting to reject but when he saw the confident and resolute look on his face, he hesitated for a while deep in thought then sent FeiRyu a sound transmission "we have to believe in little Shi this time, this is probably a test his master set for to allow him temper his martial heart, and worrying about his safety is useless, even if Shiryu is defeated I'll make sure his life isn't in danger and besides, there's also his master, who might be somewhere watching and protecting him"

Queen Fei Ryu was stunned for a moment when she heard him, her husband should be right, this might truly be shiryu's unfathomable master's test, a way to temper shiryu's fighting powers, surely he wouldn't expect Shiryu to take part in the contest with his mediocre strength, so he might even have a way to help Shiryu increase his strength before that day, so it might not be a hopeless fight. After a while, she took a deep breath and nodded at Sima Ryu as she sent him a short sound transmission, "I understand".

Shiryu just stood there waiting for their response and didn't interrupt their thoughts, he was aware of their worries and felt warmth in his heart.

After several breaths of time since Shiryu made his request, Sima Ryu finally spoke aloud, his voice echoed in the royal hall.

"Your royal mother and I have thought about your request, and we accept, but you have to fight for a spot for yourself because I already selected you cousin KE'er and the young Genius of our clan, the son of the great elder Tao Ryu, 5 days from now you will battle any one of them, your performance will determine whether you can join the battle of the throne he-he, if you win that will be for the best and I'll allow you to fight LAN feibai otherwise just forget about it, do you accept? "Shiryu chuckled as he gave a slight bow and replied, "I accept, thank you your highness and her highness for understanding…" At this point, he raised his head and look at his parent and said coolly "my other reason for coming here is to notify you that I'll be going into seclusion all night refining pills and by tomorrow I'll pass them to Momo to share with the young members of our clan then adventure into the great divide forest for the next three days to temper my fighting skills, don't worry I won't be venturing in to deep, I'll just explore the 100-mile outer area were low level demonic beasts gather".

Sima thought for a while then replied shiryu"Okay you may go, but be careful and make hurry back in time to fight for your spot"

Sima Ryu had no plans to stop Shiryu from venturing, however he decided to send 4 red knights with seed condensing realm cultivation to secretly protect Shiryu.

"May your highness live forever, I will take my leave now your highnesses the king and queen" Shiryu smiled then bowed and prepared to go to his room when his mom's soft voice echoed in his ears.

"Shiryu wait a moment"

Shiryu steps came to an abrupt halt, then he turned and looked at his mom with an inquisitive look on his face.

"Now that you have become an Alchemist following my footstep it's about time I give you my family cauldron, the rank is unknown, but it has been used to refine even rank B heavenly pills, my grandfather found this cauldron called the heretical God cauldron in a mystic realm about 600 years ago and since then, it has been passed down to genius alchemist of our family in every generation, when my family clan was at its peak it was a powerful rank C sect but slowly degreased to one of the weakest rank C sect"

"Many sect coveted the treasures of my clan including the heretical God cauldron but couldn't do anything wary of my grandfather's strength, years later after he died when he was trying to break through a new realm, my clan was surrounded and exterminated by demonic cultivating rank C sect known as the poison ivy sect years ago, most of my clan members were captured as slaves, raped and used for demonic cultivation arts and the rest were refined as corpse puppets"

Shiryu felt his heart hurt listening to what became of her clan, the martial world was indeed cruel where the strong prey on the weak and even powerful sect wane and lost over time, his mother's clan really had a depressing end with most members not even having their bodies buried it was truly sad. ShiRyu secretly swore that he will slaughter his way to the poison ivy clan and get sweet revenge for his mom and her clan.

"Your grandfather fought hard to protect me and at the cost of his life, he secretly managed to send me far away safely to Akin lore nation with only this cauldron as the only legacy of my clan left" presently queen FeiRyu seemed to remember the past and are face reflected deep sorrow as she continued "with this cauldron and little resources my father I was able to cultivate to the early layer of the martial lord realm and became a high rank E alchemist in Akin lore nation, years later your father and his clan relocated here, and we met and I married your father"

"And we had you and Momo years later" she then sighed and continued "you might be wondering why I'm suddenly telling you all this, but me passing you this Cauldron unfortunately is passing the dreams and regrets of clan members, with it comes the responsibility of fulfilling my father's final request which is that when whoever wields this cauldron grows strong enough to contend with the poison ivy sect help the deceased member of my clan take their revenge and eradicate that hateful sect completely from the face of the Earth so my clans men can rest in peace"Queen Fei Ryu said to Shiryu with a dejected look on her face then pressed her fingers and conjured a cauldron from thin air and gave it to shiryu.

The cauldron emitted an ancient aura, and radiated a bright golden glow that illuminated the whole throne room.

The cauldron was Azure colored and inscribed on it were golden drawings of dragons and phoenix dancing and if one listened closely, then they could hear phoenix cries and dragon roar

It only took shiryu a glance to know that the rank of this cauldron far outstripped any cauldron he had seen so far since he reincarnated.

ShiRyu received the heretical God cauldron and replied his mom with a grave tone, "I deeply appreciate this mom and about your father and your clan and I accept the responsibilitys that come with it!"

Fei Ryu smiled hearing his reply "okay don't work yourself too hard you may leave now my child"

Shiryu bowed and then left for his room. he had a long night ahead of him refining pills and consolidating his 3rd layer essence revolve realm
