42: I'll chop her up right now!

"No, it's just a recommendation. As for which power you'll specifically join, you'll have to decide for yourselves once you've secured a spot in the grand competition. After all, joining the Xuan Yang Tower and learning their two sets of Cultivation Techniques takes time; they have a rule that you must be with them for five years before you get the chance to practice them."

Shi Bao said, "Then what's the point of joining? Who has five years to wait for them?"

"Exactly! That's why my point is that you need to perform exceptionally well in the competition, then negotiate terms with them to practice those two Cultivation Techniques immediately upon entering."

"So that's how it is!"

Chu Tianyang laughed, "Hahaha! As long as you have the strength, everything is negotiable."

"We're still young and lack experience."

Chu Tianyang said earnestly, "In the future, when you go to those Sects, just focus on increasing your strength. Only when you have strength do you get the final say."

"Don't meddle in other people's business, and don't trust others easily. After all, for the sake of profit, anyone might turn their back on you. In serious cases, you might even lose your life."

"Understood! Thank you for the advice, Sect Master."

Chu Tianyang chatted with them for nearly two hours, teaching them much about conduct and survival. After the few of them left, Chen Pan walked out.

"We've really struck luck. When we first brought them back, we only thought they had high talent. I didn't expect the person behind them to be so strong; in just two years, those two children reached a Breakthrough to the ninth stage of the Earth Profound Realm."

"As for Jiang Ye, two years ago he already had the ability to directly kill those at the eighth stage of the Earth Profound Realm. Now, who knows what level he has reached."

Chu Tianyang nodded, "Indeed! If not for him back then, it wouldn't have been so easy for me to take my revenge. I hope everything goes smoothly for them in the future!"

Two days later.

Fifty Tianyang Sect Disciples, led by Chen Pan, boarded a massive cloud ship and set off for Domain City. Since they would be on the cloud ship for three days, Shi Bao's restless nature got the better of him, and he dragged the other two along to wander around.

When they wandered into the VIP area of the cloud ship, the ship's staff stopped them.

"You can't go in here. Leave at once!"

Shi Bao asked, "Why can't we go in?"

"This is the VIP area, filled with people of status. You children of the poor are not allowed inside."

Shi Bao was instantly enraged. "Screw your mother! Which of your damn eyes sees me as poor?"

A Guard Captain walked over and said, "What's going on? Get lost! Don't disturb the distinguished guests here, you little trash!"

"To hell with your mother! Die!" Enraged, Shi Bao threw a punch directly at the Guard Captain.

*Bang!* "Argh..." The Guard Captain was sent flying into the VIP area by the punch.

Hearing the sounds of fighting, over twenty guards rushed out and surrounded the three of them.

A woman in her early twenties walked out and said, "You commoners! How dare you cause trouble on the Wanlong Chamber of Commerce's cloud ship? Kill them for me!"

"I'll hack you to death!" Shi Bao immediately drew his blade and slashed at the guards.

*Slap!* *Bang!* "Ah..." The woman was also kicked flying, crashing into a pillar.

It was Jiang Ye who first slapped her, and then Shi Feng directly stepped forward and kicked her.

Shi Feng said, "Ye Zai, is it because her breasts are big that you couldn't bring yourself to strike her?"

"Damn! Me, unable to bring myself to strike? I'll hack her to death right now!" Jiang Ye was provoked by Shi Feng and directly drew his blade, walking toward the woman who had just been kicked flying.

Seeing Jiang Ye approaching with killing intent, the woman hurriedly said to a young man nearby, "Young Master Li, help me kill this commoner, and the Wanlong Chamber of Commerce will waive all your fees."
