Chapter 57: Who is Su Lang?

"I really do know!" Yang Shi stammered, shrinking back nervously, avoiding eye contact with Yang Tianrui.

"What do you know, Yang Shi?" Ye Lingfeng stepped forward, his expression serious, prompting Yang Tianrui not to intervene.

Yang Shi took a deep breath. "Ye Big Brother, Father, Uncle Ye, let me tell you, this cloaked figure is under Su Lang's command!"

"Su Lang? Who is Su Lang?" The others looked puzzled, none recognizing the name.

At that moment, they all assumed Su Lang was some powerful figure, completely unaware that just a day ago, he was nothing more than a commoner in their eyes.

"Powerful?" Yang Shi hesitated. "Calling Su Lang powerful isn't wrong, but he's unlike any other. He's extremely, extraordinarily peculiar!"

"Explain in detail!" Ye Lingfeng frowned.

"Yes, yes!" Yang Shi nodded eagerly. "Yesterday morning, I wanted a taste of life and went to the Warrior Alliance Hall to collect my allowance, where I met Su Lang. Back then, he was just a junior Body Tempering cultivator, and many of us ridiculed him. I even made a bet with him on when he'd break through to Intermediate Body Tempering. He did it on the spot, the breakthrough energy was unmistakable! That's not all—today when I saw him again, he had already become a junior warrior! And with a single strike, he defeated four of my junior warrior guards, these three among them!"

Yang Shi pointed to the three junior warrior guards, who nodded quickly in affirmation.

"Promoted from Body Tempering to official warrior in one day. Can't be true, right!?" Ye Lingfeng exclaimed.

"It's unbelievable. Yang Shi, are you sure you're not mistaken?" Another asked.

"Breaking through from Body Tempering to junior warrior in just a day, and possessing far superior combat power, how is that possible?"

"Such strange things happening under the sun, it's like a fantasy!"

Ye Lingfeng and the others stared wide-eyed, disbelief etched on their faces.

"But that's not even the weirdest part!" Yang Shi continued, his voice rising. "Later, Su Lang summoned his underling out of thin air—the same cloaked person whose aura matched his and resembled the rumored madman who destroyed your Ye family stronghold. We were stunned. Then, the most bizarre thing happened! Su Lang forced us to write three martial arts techniques, and within just over ten minutes, he mastered them all!"

"What!?" Ye Lingfeng and the others were shocked beyond words, their mouths hanging open in disbelief.

The cloaked figure was one thing; some superhuman martial arts could be explained with some effort. But mastering martial arts? That was beyond comprehension.

"For real!" Yang Shi assured, seeing their skeptical faces.

"Whoa!" Ye Lingfeng took a sharp breath.

He knew Yang Shi wouldn't lie. Everything about Su Lang was true!

Things he wouldn't dare dream of had come to pass with Su Lang.

Awe, jealousy, and fear slowly filled Ye Lingfeng's heart and mind.

"This person is too bizarre. We absolutely cannot let him continue to develop!" Ye Lingfeng turned to Ye Tian and Ye Zhi. "Uncle, Fifth Uncle, we must kill this man!"

Ye Tian's face darkened as he nodded. "Right, this man has already made enemies with us. If we let him continue, it'll be the end of our Ye family!"

In reality, while shaken, the three also felt a hint of unspoken excitement.

Because Su Lang had grown so powerful in such a short time, he must have a massive secret.

Maybe he was some once-in-a-millennium super treasure!

Su Lang was still weak now. Once killed, getting his secrets, the Ye family would definitely soar. Even standing at the peak of Lianxing, it was not impossible!
