Chapter 7: Main Strength of Lacross City

A girl wearing the uniform of the city of Lacross junior zen master academy is seen entering the school. The girl has a beautiful appearance. She has white skin and white hair like snow. The girl's eyes were bright blue. Her expression showed the composure that only nobles usually had.

"What happened?"

Right when he entered the school and arrived at the school's backyard, where the registration of new students was taking place. She found the scene quite shocking. There were a lot of people currently gathered in the school's backyard where the center point was the moderately reduced battle arena. There you can see two boys and girls wearing ordinary clothes on top of the arena.

"Who are they? New student?"

"Miss Ling Qing'er?"

Suddenly her name was called by someone and immediately she glanced to the side where she saw an adult woman greeting her.

"Teacher Ming"

"Come to practice?"

The mature woman who was greeted by the girl named Ling Qinger whose name was Teacher Ming asked again with a friendly smile.

"Yes, I feel that I will break through the seventh tier sometime in the future and I want to use this opportunity to enhance that breakthrough."

"Oh? Break through level seven? It wasn't long ago that you broke through the sixth level. You do have a good talent compared to the others."

Ling Qing'er smiled and immediately asked, "Teacher Ming, what exactly happened? Who are the two people currently on the battlefield?"

"Hehehe, both very talented kids who just enrolled in this school"

"Very talented?" Ling Qinger was immediately interested in this.

"The two kids are from the village and six months ago, both of them just awakened their zen. The girl's name is Zhou Xiyan, she has the holy light butterfly zen while the boy's name is Tang Yu, and he has the blue leaf banyan tree zen. Currently, Zhou Xiyan has the strength of level four while that boy…He is more of a genius compared to Zhou Xiyan, currently level of strength is at level six."

"Level six?!" Ling Qinger's eyes opened immediately hearing Tang Yu's level of strength.

"Oh? It seems the two of them are about to start their battle soon…"

It was some time before the battle between Zhou Xiyan and Tang Yu started.

"Tang Yu, since you've secured a place to live, you shouldn't be staying at Xin's place, right?" Zhou Xiyan said casually.

"Sure, that's according to the agreement between us." Tang Yu nodded.

"Well then, great, I'll occupy it"

"Has Xin given you permission to occupy the room?"

"Hmph! Of course, yesterday he had permitted me as long as I obeyed the rules."

"...If he has given permission, then I won't mind about it"

"Residence?" Eric who was currently beside Xin asked confusedly.

"Yesterday I just rented a house to live in and it's quite close to the academy. The plan was for Tang Yu to stay with me for a full month before he found a place to live. However, it was unlikely that this plan would be carried out since Tang Yu had already secured a dormitory for him to live in. Therefore, Zhou Xiyan asked me to let him stay in my house."

"...Are you not from a wealthy family?" Eric asked back to the previous topic.

"No," Xin shook his head directly.

"By the way, who do you think will win between the two?" Eric immediately changed the subject, "Is there a possibility for Zhou Xiyan to win this battle?"

"No, that shouldn't be possible." Xin shook his head.

"Impossible? Why?" Eric raised his eyebrows.

"Tang Yu has good skills in fighting and previously he did a lot of hunting activities in the village. He should also have developed various abilities that could aid him in battle. There was a level difference between the two and even though it was only a two-level difference, Zhou Xiyan was being heavily suppressed from every side. Fighting level and experience. But…"

"…Actually, I'm also not sure who will win since we only met Zhou Xiyan yesterday and I don't know if he has combat experience or some kind of skill that can help win against Tang Yu."

"…The battle between the two will begin"

Xin and Eric immediately stared at the fighting arena.

"Holy Light Butterfly"

Zhou Xiyan was someone who first summoned his zen. A white butterfly wing where the wing has a fringe like a shield from the thin wing is a golden shield with various beautiful patterns. The wings immediately appeared right behind Zhou Xiyan's body or right on her back. Right along with the appearance of the wings, visible stars like powder also appeared around Zhou Xiyan which added to the charm and beauty that belonged to her at this time.

"...So pretty…"

"...Extraordinary…"

Everyone in the backyard was mesmerized by the emergence of Zhou Xiyan's zen. Not only giving herself the ability to increase speed when fighting. Zhou Xiyan also got a very good enchantment when using her zen.

Tang Yu saw Zhou Xiyan who had summoned her zen immediately began to mobilize his zen energy while also starting to prepare himself.

"Why don't you summon your zen? Are you underestimating me?" Zhou Xiyan asked irritatedly as she scowled at Tang Yu.

"My zen is a tree and there are currently no skills that can be used by me through that zen of mine" Tang Yu shot back, "It's useless for me to summon it. Don't worry, I will fight you using all my strength."

"Hmph! Fine, don't make excuses when you lose!"

Zhou Xiyan immediately put her zen energy into the wings and she started moving at high speed towards Tang Yu.

Tang Yu quickly prepared himself as his eyes were shining purple where he had used one of the skills developed by him namely the evil eye of wisdom. The function of this ability now is to help him see things that are very far away plus he is also able to see the movements of someone who previously moved at high speed to be slower.

This speed that Zhou Xiyan displayed was extremely fast if seen by an ordinary person or someone who had just awakened her zen. However, to Tang Yu, Zhou Xiyan's speed was extremely slow.

Zhou Xiyan quickly arrived in front of Tang Yu he threw a punch with her left hand. Tang Yu saw this and quickly dodged Zhou Xiyan's attack by turning her body to the side.

"What?!" Zhou Xiyan saw that Tang Yu's attack had been perfectly dodged by Tang Yu in shock.

Tang Yu naturally wouldn't let go of the current excellent opportunity to win the battle between the two. Tang Yu immediately lifted his leg and kicked Zhou Xiyan in the back.

"Ah!..."

Zhou Xiyan, who had previously accelerated rapidly, was immediately sent flying a great distance forward due to Tang Yu's attack. She had lost her balance to counterattack.

Tang Yu didn't let Zhou Xiyan have a chance to revive or recover himself.

"Shadow step!..."

Without waiting for a long time, Tang Yu used one of his abilities to quickly arrive at Zhou Xiyan's current position.

"That…"

At that time, especially the teachers who saw the Shadow Step ability being used by Tang Yu. Their expressions immediately changed to one of surprise.

"Is that a self-made skill? How could it be?!" Even Ling Qinger was shocked by this phenomenon.

After all, to create skills by yourself was extremely difficult and only geniuses would normally be able to do such a thing. Skills themselves took time, effort, and also inspiration to develop, and right now what they saw was Tang Yu skillfully using those skills.

"Skills alone? Deserves to be a very genius figure"

Right at the same time, Ling Qing'er and Teacher Ming heard the voice of a somewhat familiar figure. The two immediately glanced to the side and found Alvine and the others had finally arrived there.

Master Ming and Ling Qinger's "Headmaster" immediately paid their respects.

Alvine nodded and his gaze glanced across the battle arena. He was completely shocked by the skill Tang Yu used.

Ling Qing'er's gaze immediately fell on Qing Renxue and immediately glanced back at the battle arena.

"That…Skill itself? Tang Yu has developed skills on his own?!" Eric, who was beside Xin, was shocked to hear this.

"...Well, he did." Xin nodded casually.

According to most people, Tang Yu's skills are probably very good. But to him, it looked normal compared to his skills.

Tang Yu, who was right behind Zhou Xiyan, immediately grabbed Zhou Xiyan's hand and then did a strong lock so she couldn't fight back. Tang Yu decisively immediately laid Zhou Xiyan down on her stomach and then quickly sat on Zhou Xiyan's back.

"You lost, Zhou Xiyan," Tang Yu said casually.

Zhou Xiyan, who was currently locked by Tang Yu, knew that she had lost. She tried to break free from Tang Yu's current submission but she absolutely couldn't.

"Fine…You win. Get off me quickly!"

Tang Yu heard that Zhou Xiyan finally admitted defeat, immediately released the lock, and immediately got up quickly. Zhou Xiyan finally rose from that position as she pulled back her zen.

"Is this your strength?"

"…You've seen it." Tang Yu nodded calmly.

"You are very strong. How can you say you lost to that person?"

"Lost?" Eric and others who heard this immediately became interested even Alvine and others.

"That's a fact. That guy beat me and I lost against him"

"Hmph!" Zhou Xiyan sniffed dissatisfiedly at Tang Yu's reply, "Don't get excited just yet, you won this battle. In future battles, I will win against you. Remember this!"

"...It's up to you"

Zhou Xiyan and Tang Yu quickly stepped down from the battle arena. Seeing that the battle had finally ended, everyone slowly started to disperse there. The teachers went back to their duties of registering the children who wanted to become students while the students there resumed their practice. Everyone was pushed back to increase their power especially when they found out that a very genius had appeared in this academy. As long as they lazed around, they might be chased down or might be abandoned by those geniuses.

"You two are so great!" Eric excitedly immediately praised Tang Yu and Zhou Xiyan the moment they stepped off the battle arena, "Especially for you, Tang Yu. You can develop your zen skills. Remarkable…"

"That's an easy matter, no need to bring it up." Tang Yu humbly accepted the compliment.

"By the way, what was the meaning of what Zhou Xiyan said earlier? Did you lose a fight? Who with?" Eric asked with great interest.

Tang Yu's gaze glanced slightly at Xin but quickly immediately directed back towards Eric.

"I am also quite interested in this"

"Hmm?"

Xin and the others' attention immediately glanced towards the source of the sound where it was seen that Alvine and the others were approaching them all.

"You…" Tang Yu called out hesitantly.

"Ah, I apologize for being impolite." Alvine smiled kindly and started to introduce himself, "My name is Alvine, the Headmaster of this Academy ."

"Headmaster?!" Tang Yu and everyone except Xin exclaimed in shock at this.

"He's strong…At least he's the strongest figure that I've met so far if excluding that stupid stalker uncle"

"Sneeze!..." Tang Mu who was currently monitoring Tang Yu and Xin immediately sneezed as he glanced at Xin, "That bastard, he should be talking about me"

"Hello, children" Teacher Ming also immediately started to introduce himself, "My name is Ming Yuan, since you are going to start school here, please call me Teacher Ming. Nice to meet you"

"Nice to meet Teacher Ming." Xin and others greeted politely.

"I was quite interested in the previous talk regarding the fights you had in the past," Alvine said with a small smile to Tang Yu, "Hard to believe that a genius of yours lost to someone else."

"Though many would deny that, but that is the fact" Tang Yu replied, "I did lose the battle against him a while ago. At that time my level was still at level five while he was at level ten"

"Level ten?" Alvine was slightly surprised to hear this and nodded, "I see, it's natural to lose since the level difference between you two is too great."

"Naturally what?" Zhou Xiyan said with a frown, "The person who defeated Tang Yu was indeed level ten. But the level he has is inversely proportional to the age he has."

"What's the point of that?" Ling Qinger immediately asked with great interest.

"You…" Zhou Xiyan glanced at Ling Qinger with great interest.

"Wow~ She's so beautiful…" Eric was immediately amazed by Ling Qinger's appearance.

"She has beautiful hair and eyes…" Not only Eric but Xin were also amazed by Ling Qinger's appearance.

"Ling Qinger" Ling Qinger immediately introduced herself, "I am a student here and maybe also the senior you have here."

"Ling? I see, she is from the ice Phoenix clan." Xin immediately knew Ling Qing'er's background the moment she mentioned her name.

"…What do you mean by that statement of yours?" Ling Qinger asked back as she glanced at Zhou Xiyan.

"The person who defeated Tang Yu is indeed level ten but that doesn't mean that person is above our age."

"Wait, what do you mean…" Alvine immediately caught these words from Zhou Xiyan.

"He is the same age as us"

"What?!"

Zhou Xiyan's question completely shocked everyone.

"Is it true?" Alvine immediately asked Tang Yu to get a better confirmation.

"…Well," Tang Yu nodded, "He may be of the same age as us but his level is already way off compared to us. At the very least, he was level ten from last month and as long as he has absorbed spirit crystals, his level should be even higher compared to his current level."

The breathing of everyone presents there became very fast. Tang Yu's current talent was already terrifying and they thought that there was no way someone could surpass Tang Yu's talent. However, to think that there was someone even better than him.

"Who's he?" Qing Renxue immediately asked quickly the moment she regained her senses.

"You…" Tang Yu immediately recognized Qing Renxue but didn't know her name.

"Qing Renxue" Qing Renxue immediately introduced herself, "We should be in the same year. Nice to meet you"

"Nice to meet you too." Tang Yu nodded.

"My name is Eric, nice to meet you too" Eric quickly introduced himself.

It's just that, in contrast to Tang Yu, who got a good response. Eric only received glances and nods then attention from Qing Renxue returned to staring at Tang Yu as if he was not interested in Eric.

"Uh…" Eric was a little saddened by this but he quickly forgot it again.

"Can you tell me who he is?" Qing Renxue asked back.

"Sorry…I can't do it" Tang Yu shook his head, "I can't tell him his identity because I promised him not to tell anyone about his identity."

"Is he from the same place as you?" Ling Qinger asked immediately.

"…I can't tell you that." Tang Yu shook his head and continued, "He's not interested in status or anything else, he doesn't want his identity known for now and has asked me not to divulge matters of his identity. I am sorry"

"No, it's fine. You don't need to apologize, that's just a selfish request that we have." Despite his disappointment as he wished to know the identity of the person who defeated Tang Yu, Alvine was still happy to get Tang Yu to attend their academy.

"Headmaster"

Right at the same time, Xin who had been silent suddenly spoke up by calling Alvine.

"Hmm?"

Alvine's gaze immediately glanced at Xin. Alvine immediately used his ability to identify the strength possessed by Xin. Quickly he found the strength possessed by Xin but there was no feeling of disappointment in his heart. The presence of two geniuses was already able to make up for the various students who signed up with poor aptitude.

"I am Xin, one of the newly enrolled students. Can I use the current library?"

"Library? Sure, you can do it" Alvine answered with a smile.

"Thank you very much" Xin nodded then glanced at Tang Yu, "Tang Yu, then, I'll go first. I want to go back and clean up all my belongings."

"Okay," Tang Yu nodded after hearing this.

"Hey, Xin. Since Tang Yu won't be living with you anymore, Tang Yu's room will automatically become mine, right?"

"Of course"

Xin nodded hearing Zhou Xiyan's words, "Let's go, we need to pack up our things over there." Xin's gaze then glanced at everyone, "Everyone, I'll head back first. I need to clean up all the equipment in my residence"

"Don't you live in the dorm?" Ming Yuan asked with great interest.

"No, I have rented a house to live in and will live there while studying"

"I see" Ming Yuan just nodded and didn't pay too much attention to Xin. Ming Yuan also knew Xin's level of strength. Therefore, she did not pay special attention to him.

"He fooled everyone so easily" Tang Mu muttered with a completely strange expression seeing how Xin easily fooled people whose strength was relatively higher compared to his, "What's the point of being surprised right now? If it wasn't for that time, I might as well be an idiot like them. Fooled by a child"

"Let's go"

"Okay"

Xin immediately turned around and then was followed by Zhou Xiyan back to her house.

"You seem to look very familiar with that kid named Xin, Tang Yu?" Alvine asked with great interest.

The talks that Xin and Tang Yu had before could describe the close relationship between the two and even Xin permitted Tang Yu to stay at his place which was normally impossible for someone to permit someone to stay at his place as long as the relationship between the two was not close.

"We are from the same village, his house is right beside mine" Tang Yu immediately answered.

"I see. That means you two have been friends for a long time, right?" Alvine asked back.

"…Yeah" Tang Yu nodded.

"Okay, I guess I won't bother you. You can go to the dormitory to tidy up all your belongings and according to what I said earlier to Xin, as long as you want to go to the library, you can do it. You can use all school facilities even though it's still in the holiday period"

"I understand, thank you, Headmaster"

"Hahaha, no need for thanks, this is something you will receive as long as you attend school here. That's all from me, I hope you can enjoy your time while you are here and also don't be shy to come to me, as long as you need something or help, come directly to me, and I will send help directly to you"

"Good"

Alvine immediately turned around leaving Tang Yu feeling full of joy.

"I also welcome you to early school, Tang Yu. As long as you need anything, please come to me. I will help as long as it is within the scope of my abilities."

"Thank you very much, Teacher Ming"

Ming Yuan then immediately left the place.

"Nice to meet you again" Ling Qinger then said, "I hope we can become friends and maybe…I'm interested in being able to compete with you. I hope you can accept the challenge given by me"

"I will do it" Tang Yu nodded.

Ling Qinger gave him a slight glance and then immediately left to start his practice.

"We will be in the same batch. I hope we can get along well." Qing Renxue smiled directly at Tang Yu and said back, "As long as you need help, let me know, I will help you as long as it is within the scope of my abilities."

"I will do it"

Qing Renxue then immediately turned to leave to settle her school enrollment matters followed by the maid following behind her.

"Haaa~ You are very lucky, Tang Yu"

"Lucky?"

Tang Yu glanced at Eric strangely.

"Haven't you noticed? Senior Ling Qinger and Miss Qing Renxue paid special attention to me. Ah~ I also want to get special attention from beauties"

"Do I deserve it? I guess…The person who deserved this more should be Xin. However, his strength exceeds mine and that applies to his talent…Now, it seems I slightly understand the reason behind Xin not wanting to stand out. People would always pay extra attention and there were also various actions that he didn't want to do, he would do. It must be very troublesome for him."

"Yu…Tang Yu…Hey, are you listening to me?"

Tang Yu immediately woke up again listening to Eric's words.

"What are you thinking about that you don't even realize I'm calling you? Wait a second…Did you perhaps think of the two beauties before?" Eric asked with an idiotic smile.

"Eric, your mind is full of strange things"

"What strange things?"

"Forget it. Let's go to the hostel. We need to pack up our stuff"

"Okay"

Tang Yu and Eric immediately headed straight to their respective dorms.

******

Principal's Room.

"This year is going to be a really good year." Alvine smiled excitedly after he had just finished helping Qing Renxue solve her school's enrollment problems, "With the addition of Tang Yu, Zhou Xiyan, and Miss Qing Renxue, the school is adding several more talented students if coupled with Ling Qinger and Feng Xuan." Alvine then sighed then continued, "If only the kid who won the battle with Tang Yu were to join this school, the victory for the competition which is to be conducted three years from now would be held by us. What a shame~"

"Alvin!"

A voice suddenly resounded in Alvian's room.

"Who?!"

Alvian who heard the voice immediately rose from his seat while raising his vigilance to the highest point. He had also started to mobilize his zen energy and was getting ready to summon his zen as long as the figure was about to attack him.

"Meet me in the woods east of Lacross City. Don't make me wait"

The voice was heard again when Alvian tried to trace the whereabouts of the owner of the voice. However, after trying desperately to trace himself, he couldn't find the whereabouts of the sound. His face immediately showed an expression full of worry plus fear.

Alvian was currently at the level of a Zen Elder where his level was already at level 61. At the level of a Zen Sage, it could already be said to be a strong figure in the world of Zen masters. With Alvian's level of strength, it's usually very easy to find someone as long as he wants one. However, after he tried to track down the person who was trying to bully him, he really couldn't do it.

"Who's he?"

Alvian thought hard then shook his head, "Forget it! I have to go there and don't let that person wait for me"

Without wasting much time, Alvian immediately started moving toward the location that the voice prompted.

Exactly where the voice wanted Alvian to go. You can see the figure of a large man wearing clothes with lots of patches. The man also wore a cloak that covered his appearance.

It didn't take long for two people in very luxurious clothes to arrive there.

The two men came wielding a sword. The sword has a very beautiful shape where right on the hilt of the sword and the top of the hilt various patterns seem to be carved by hand in gold color plus the presence of very beautiful diamond stones.

The sword itself was controlled by a man who had long white hair. White hair is not white because of changing problems experienced by parents, but it is indeed the original hair color. The man had white skin plus his expression was very firm. His gaze was like a sharp sword ready to cut through anything. The man controlling the sword was dressed in a white kimono with blue sword patterns on it.

That man was the Elder of the Glazed Treasure Nine Floor Glass Tower – Lychn.

While the other man with him had the appearance of short golden hair neatly arranged, and a face that looked mature but not too old. The man had white skin and beautiful golden eyes. He was wearing a pair of glasses and currently, the clothes he was wearing were a white coat with a white robe covering half of the white coat he was wearing. The aura that man had was that of a noble.

That man was the Clan Head of the Nine-Floor Glazed Treasure Glass Tower – Qing Lingdao.

"Qing Lingdao pays respects to Venerable Zen" Just as Qing Lingdao appeared right in front of Tang Mu, he immediately paid his respects, "I wonder if Your Highness can tell Qing Your Highness's true identity so that Qing will know the title that belongs to by you"

"Forget about my title issue, I don't care about that." A hoarse voice immediately escaped Tang Mu.

"I see" Qing Lingdao then continued, "If I may ask, what is the purpose of His Majesty calling Qing here?"

"Wait for the others to come"

"Another?"

It didn't take long for the other two people to finally get there. The two people were an adult man and a woman. The man had hair as red as fire and a slender but muscular body. The man was wearing quite luxurious clothes. He had wheat-colored skin and his face showed a serious look.

That man was the Blazing Flame Eagle Clan Chief – Feng Lie

While the other is a woman who has a very beautiful face. Even though she was quite old compared to the age of a blooming woman, she still looked very beautiful. The woman had long white hair and beautiful blue eyes like the color of the ocean. The woman has white skin and seductive red lips. She was wearing a long dress and there was a noble charm given off by it.

That woman was the Head of the Ice Pheonix Clan – Ling Guiying.

"Feng Lie pays his respects to Venerable Zen"

"Ling Guiying pays respects to Venerable Zen"

There are unwritten rules in this world. Whoever that person was, as long as they were dealing with a Zen master whose strength was already at the level of a Zen Title. They are required to pay respect to them. It doesn't matter if they are enemies or not. As long as they haven't done battle. They are required to do this.

The ones who didn't need to pay their respects were people whose strength had already reached the Zen Title level. This also applies to Lychn whose strength has reached the Zen Title level and there is no need to pay respects to Tang Mu whose strength has also reached the Zen Title level.

There were advantages for a Zen master whose strength had reached the level of a Zen Title. Their appearance will be restored when they are around 20 years old. Lychn was someone of quite an old age simply because due to his strength having reached the level of a Zen Title, his appearance had returned to his youth.

Tang Mu's appearance right now looked just like how he looked when he was young. Just because he didn't take good care of himself. Tang Mu's appearance was that of an old man.

"Chairman Feng, Chief Ling, you guys were also asked to come here?" Qing Lingdao was greatly surprised by the appearance of the two Clan Heads he knew.

"Well, we were asked to come here by His Majesty." Feng Lie immediately confirmed this.

"This…Your Highness, may Ling ask for confirmation regarding Your Highness' purpose for calling us here?" Ling Guiying asked carefully.

"Wait for the last one to come. There's still one that hasn't arrived yet."

"One more?"

Everyone was confused to hear this.

It didn't take long before the last figure came where he flew using his zen.

"Chairman Qing, Chief Feng, Chief Ling, and Venerable Zen Sword" Alvine who came was completely shocked by the people present. All of them are well known to Alvine because all of them have big names and enormous influence in Lacross City.

"You were also invited to come here by His Majesty?" Feng Lie asked in shock.

"Your Honour?!" Only one figure can be summoned by a Venerable and that is a Title Zen. Alvine who had been in the zen master world for a long time understood this very well and immediately descended from the sky as he withdrew his zen and immediately paid respects to Tang Mu as well as Lychn, "Alvine pays respects to Venerable Zen Sword and Venerable…This… "

The last person awaited finally came. Tang Mu who previously covered his appearance immediately opened the cover of the robe he was wearing. The moment all the clan heads saw the true appearance of the person who had summoned them, their expressions changed immediately. They know the person who called them. He is a very well-known figure because of his deed committed by him many years ago.

"Qing Lindao pays respects to Venerable Sky Hammer Zen"

"Feng Lie pays his respects to Venerable Sky Hammer Zen"

"Ling Guiying pays her respects to Venerable Sky Hammer Zen"

All clan heads immediately saluted Tang Mu in unison. Alvine who heard the title that belonged to Tang Mu immediately shook his body. He knew about the deed Tang Mu had done many years ago. Therefore, the moment he realized who was in front of him, Alvine's expression immediately changed to one of surprise.

"Alvine pays his respects to Venerable Sky Hammer Zen"

Only Lychn didn't salute and only gave a nod. After all, both of them were on the same level and even though perhaps Tang Mu's strength was stronger than his, Lychn didn't need to pay respects like the others did to Tang Mu.

"Venerable Sky Hammer Zen, what exactly is the purpose of you summoning us to this place?" After giving a nod, Lychn immediately asked directly.

"I just wanted to give you some information"

"Information?" Qing Lingdao became serious hearing this.

"Tang Yu…He is my son"

Everyone's eyes immediately widened at this. They didn't expect the child they wanted to target earlier to be the son of a Zen Title so famous that even Tang Mu's name was greater than the name Lychn had in the Zen master world.

"I don't care about your actions in wanting to recruit him to join you. I will leave all decisions in his hands. As long as he wants to join, I won't have much to say about it. It's just…" Tang Mu's gaze immediately turned cold, "Don't you dare do anything to him. Until I got the news that you dared to take action against him… You should know the consequences you will receive later"

"Qing Understood" Qing Lingdao first spoke, "Qing definitely won't do anything to him even Qing will help as long as he needs something"

"Feng understands, Feng will also not do such an act to him"

"Similar to Ling, Ling would not dare to do anything bad to him"

This threat posed by Tang Mu utterly terrified them even for the Glazed Nine Floors Glazed Treasure Glass Tower Clan incidentally had a Zen Title along with them, they dared not do anything in front of Tang Mu.

Everyone there can kill Tang Yu. But, after that. They would suffer a huge loss. They were required to endure Tang Mu's wrath from the possibility that their clan would be destroyed by him. Perhaps, a Clan like the Glazed Treasure Nine Floor Glass Tower Clan would be able to survive Tang Mu's wrath. However, the impact they receive will be enormous. The once powerful clan would instantly fall to the point that other clans might take the opportunity to destroy them.

In essence, attacking or doing anything to Tang Yu would only cause them to be destroyed.

"Alvian" Tang Mu glanced at Alvian while calling him, "My son will attend your school. I hope you can take good care of it."

"Rest assured, Venerable Sky Hammer Zen, I will always help him as long as he needs something."

"As long as you do that, I owe you"

Alvian's eyes immediately lit up hearing this. Right now he was excited. Obtaining the assistance of a Zen Title was extremely good for even a single favor, one would surely be willing to pay a lot for such assistance not apart from the Blazing Fire Eagle Clan and the Ice Pheonix Clan.

"Venerable Sky Hammer Zen" Lychn resumed talking to Tang Mu, "I heard information that Your Highness' son lost a battle to someone a while ago. Your Highness should know the identity of the child who defeated His Highness' child, right?"

"Why would Venerable Zen Sword want to know the identity of that child?" Tang Mu asked in a slightly relaxed tone.

"Anyone would want to know the identity of that child." Lychn immediately replied, "The accomplishments accomplished by that child have never been found in this world even in history. The most formidable feat related to the power increase speed was obtained by the leader of the current Zen Empire. However…Compared to the accomplishments of that kid, the accomplishments of the leader of the Zen Kingdom are not worth mentioning at all."

"Well, that is indeed something that can't be denied. Even for me, it's hard to believe that he could do such a thing."

"Could Venerable Sky Hemmer Zen tell you about that child's identity?" Qing Lingdao asked excitedly, "Qing will be very grateful for the information."

"I can not do it"

"Can't? Why?" Lychn asked while frowning.

"I owe a favor to that child…"

Everyone's eyes immediately widened at this. They did not expect that a child who had helped make a Title Zen owe him a favor. Moreover, the Zen Title that owed a favor was Tang Mu, a figure who was extremely famous for his strength in the world of Zen masters.

"…I owe that child a favor and I can't tell you about that child's identity" Tang Mu replied seriously, "Besides, if you want to try recruiting him to join you. Forget your wishes. He is not someone who will submit to anyone. He is a free being even to me, it's impossible to make him submit to me. Let alone me, the Zen Empire, they wouldn't be able to make that child submit to them."

"..."

Everyone was silent listening to the statement given by Tang Mu.

"...This is just my advice to you guys. Don't mess with the kid. He was still very young at this time. But the potential that belonged to him, was terrifying. As long as you guys become his enemies, I believe, you guys will suffer so badly in the future that even your clan might be destroyed because of it. He can know all your moves. He is not a stupid figure. Even just through a brief interaction with him, he will easily know the intentions you guys have toward him. He can read all your moves. He is not someone you want to make an enemy even for me, I would rather be friends with him than have to be his enemy"

******

Xin's house.

"Knock!..."

"Knock!..."

"Knock!..."

Xin was seen currently standing in front of Zhou Xiyan's bedroom door knocking on her door. It didn't take long for the door to open and Zhou Xiyan walked out of the room.

"Why are you looking for me, Xin?" Zhou Xiyan asked with great interest.

She had previously been practicing and immediately stopped her practice when she heard a knock on her door. She knew that the person who had come to her was Xin since it was only the two of them currently in the house.

Unlike before where the house was empty and had no equipment at all. Currently, the house is already filled with a variety of middle-class furniture. Even the room that Zhou Xiyan was in looked to have mid-class furniture. This was also what caused Zhou Xiyan to want to live in Xin's house so much. Because of the facilities he got.

"I want to go to the market to buy groceries." Xin said casually, "Do you want to go together?"

"Food ingredients?"

"Right now there are no edible ingredients at home and I intend to go to the market to buy them," Xin said, "By the way, do you want your food to be made by me?"

"Is that okay?" Zhou Xiyan's eyes immediately lit up upon hearing this.

"Of course, it's just that, you have to accept all the food made by me and can't argue with it then you have to bear half of the cost to buy the ingredients. What do you think?"

"As long as I follow the rules, can I eat your food?"

"Well, you can do it" Xin nodded, "How? Do you agree?"

"Agreed!" Zhou Xiyan didn't have a problem with that. Moreover, she knew that the food that Xin had eaten was very good, even though she only knew from Tang Yu's words. However, Zhou Xiyan knew that Tang Yu couldn't possibly lie. Therefore, she immediately agreed after getting the offer.

"Then, come accompany me to the market."

"OK wait a second"

Zhou Xiyan immediately went back into her room to prepare herself. It didn't take long for her to finish and the two of them walked straight to the market to buy the food ingredients they needed at this time.

Although Zhou Xiyan was currently living in her house, Xin. She was still a working student. Zhou Xiyan still has to work at school to be able to continue her education followed by earning money which is used by him to buy food or meet her needs.

Currently, Zhou Xiyan was trying hard to increase the strength that belonged to her. Zhou Xiyan wanted her strength to reach level five soon so she could get the special treatment that Tang Yu was currently getting.

As long as Zhou Xiyan received such special treatment, she would immediately abandon her status as a working student and become a normal student. It's just that, even though Zhou Xiyan will change status later, Zhou Xiyan certainly doesn't want to move out of her home, Xin.

Zhou Xiyan now considered the Xin house to be her own and she couldn't move anywhere else.
