35: Good grandson! Grandpa's good grandson!
The Ming Snake Squad paid a great price to hunt the Titan Dragon Turtle.
After half a month of arduous pursuit, they finally cornered the Titan Dragon Turtle, forcing it to undergo tribulation to survive!
Just as it was time to reap the rewards, someone else reaped the fruit instead, which naturally infuriated Liu Changqing.
He swore then and there that once he caught the thief who stole the Titan Dragon Turtle, he would tear them to shreds!
So, after catching up to Zhang Fan and the others, Liu Changqing mercilessly struck, cleaving their flying vehicle with a single blow!
At that time, Liu Changqing indeed intended to kill the three of them.
But when he saw the Golden Zhu Yan Transformation and realized Zhang Fan’s unusual identity, Liu Changqing abandoned his murderous intent.
Thinking back to that scene now, Liu Changqing felt a chill run down his spine.
What if… what if Zhang Fan hadn't undergone the Golden Zhu Yan Transformation then!
What if that single slash had directly cut Zhang Fan in half.
What if Zhang Fan had fallen to the ground and been smashed into a pulp…
Would he now be enduring Zhang Xuanling's wrath?
Liu Changqing dared not imagine.
But one thing was certain:
Zhang Xuanling, a dignified Demigod, had personally descended for Zhang Fan, showing how much he valued this grandson!
If he had killed his grandson, the consequences would be unimaginable!
Zhang Xuanling emerged from the spatial rift, his dark golden eyes casually sweeping across, landing on Zhang Fan.
“Hmm?”
Zhang Xuanling let out a soft exclamation, taking a step forward and appearing before Zhang Fan.
Jiang Shengnan was startled and quickly called out, “Sen… Senior!”
Zhang Xuanling ignored her, his dark golden eyes fixed directly on Zhang Fan.
Zhang Fan felt as if his entire body was being seen through, with no secrets whatsoever.
“Gra… Grandpa!”
Zhang Fan was also under great pressure.
Although this Demigod was his biological grandfather, he knew that this Demigod grandfather didn't have much affection for him.
“How strange! How strange!”
Zhang Xuanling wondered, “The Golden Zhu Yan bloodline in your boy’s body is extremely thin; it shouldn’t be possible for you to transform!”
“Tell me! What exactly happened?” Zhang Xuanling stared at Zhang Fan.
People who have gone through the Great Catastrophe are more or less affected mentally.
Some are extremely afraid of hunger, some suffer from paranoia, some are prone to murder, and some become suspicious.
Some no longer trust anyone, only their own strength!
Zhang Xuanling belonged to this type of person, so he viewed family affection very lightly.
Marrying so many wives and having so many children were purely byproducts of satisfying physiological desires.
Among his many descendants, Zhang Xuanling only slightly valued the sons and grandsons who had awakened the Golden Zhu Yan Transformation.
Other descendants were merely numbers!
However.
Though he was dispassionate, Zhang Xuanling was not a heartless person who abandoned his responsibilities; he would still fulfill his duties.
So he established the Zhang's Group to fulfill his obligations of raising his descendants and cultivating outstanding offspring.
Zhang Xuanling had never paid attention to or understood this grandson, Zhang Fan, before.
Now, meeting him suddenly, Zhang Xuanling found this grandson very strange.
The Golden Zhu Yan bloodline in his body was clearly incredibly thin, yet he could transform into a Golden Zhu Yan; this was truly too peculiar!
Zhang Fan looked at Liu Changqing and the others, a bit hesitant.
Zhang Xuanling saw his apprehension, and with a casual sweep of his dark golden eyes, a golden light passed over the surroundings.
Zhang Fan immediately noticed:
Whether it was Teacher Jiang, Guo Mi, or even Liu Changqing, this Golden Core cultivator, all of them were frozen in place as if their acupoints had been struck, unable to move.
“This is… a Divine Domain?” Zhang Fan swallowed hard.
He had learned online that Demigods could activate a Divine Domain, and within it, Demigods controlled everything, omnipotent.
Time, space, gravity, magnetic fields… everything was controlled by the Demigod; seeing it today, it was indeed extraordinary!
“Speak!”
Zhang Xuanling said indifferently.
“Yes, Grandpa!”
Zhang Fan dared not delay and quickly explained his situation simply.
Although his Seventy-Two Transformations were very special, his Demigod grandfather should… shouldn't harm him, right?
“There’s such a Talent Divine Power?” Zhang Xuanling was instantly moved.
“Grandpa, is there a problem?” Zhang Fan quickly asked.
Zhang Xuanling ignored him: “How many transformations can you do now?”
“Four!”
Zhang Fan quickly replied.
“Show me!”
Zhang Xuanling was somewhat excited.
“Yes!”
Zhang Fan returned to human form, activated the Seventy-Two Transformations, and demonstrated them one by one.
Giant Rock Black Bear, Golden Zhu Yan, Nine Netherworld Phoenix, Titan Dragon Turtle!
Zhang Xuanling stared intently, his gaze shifting from initial excitement to agitation, finally bursting into hearty laughter.
“Good! What a Seventy-Two Transformations! Truly worthy of being my grandson!”
Zhang Xuanling clapped Zhang Fan heavily on the shoulder: “Little… Oh right, what’s your name?”
“Zhang Fan!”
Zhang Fan felt a bit helpless; his own biological grandfather didn’t even know his name. Who among his family would understand?
“Zhang Fan, good!”
Zhang Xuanling’s eyes showed approval: “Little Fan, your awakening of this Talent Divine Power truly makes you a Kirin of my Zhang family!”
Once a person awakens a Titan Transformation, their talent, aptitude, combat form, etc., are completely determined!
However, Zhang Fan’s Seventy-Two Transformations were completely free from such constraints!
This was too special!
Moreover.
As a Demigod, Zhang Xuanling could access things ordinary people couldn’t. He deeply understood the vastness of the universe and the insignificance of humanity.
He also knew how many terrifying lives had been nurtured in the universe.
Therefore.
Zhang Xuanling understood even more clearly the terrifying potential and significance of the Seventy-Two Transformations!
It was no exaggeration to say that although Zhang Fan was weak, Zhang Xuanling saw infinite hope in him!
Zhang Fan forced a smile, feeling a little overwhelmed by the favor.
When had this Demigod grandfather ever been so kind to anyone?
He couldn't recall any instance!
He was always incredibly dignified, unsmiling, and high above, like a deity in a temple, looking down on everyone!
Now he was actually so kind to him? He was truly overwhelmed!
“That fourth child, that scoundrel, his son awakened such a special Talent Divine Power, why didn't he tell me sooner?”
Zhang Xuanling snorted coldly, a look of displeasure on his face: “He truly deserves a beating!”
Immediately after, he put on a smiling face, patting Zhang Fan’s shoulder:
“Good grandson, from now on, Grandpa will train you well!”
“You must cultivate diligently and strive to surpass Grandpa in the future!”
“Grandpa is joking!”
Zhang Fan chuckled dryly: “You are the strongest Titan Warrior in this world. If your grandson can have even a tenth of your ability, I’ll be satisfied!”
Zhang Fan wasn't exactly flattering him.
He had thought about becoming a Golden Core, becoming a Nascent Soul, becoming a Yang God…
Even becoming a Demigod!
But he hadn't thought too much about it!
He knew he was still very weak, and the path beneath his feet had to be walked one step at a time.
Instead of thinking so much useless stuff, it was better to be down-to-earth, taking one step at a time, making a little progress every day!
As long as he made progress every day, he would eventually achieve his goal!
Zhang Xuanling dismissed it: “Young man, you must have ambition!”
“If you have no ambition, what’s the difference from a salted fish?”
“From today onwards, Grandpa will set a small goal for you: surpass Demigods!”
“Yes!”
Zhang Fan could only go along with the old man.
“Alright! This isn’t the place for chatting, let’s go back and talk!”
Zhang Xuanling withdrew his Divine Domain, and Jiang Shengnan and the others regained their ability to move, their faces still filled with awe.
Zhang Fan carefully observed, finding that their expressions hadn't changed, as if only an instant had passed for them.
This secretly shocked Zhang Fan.
He had just chatted with the old man for at least 2 minutes, yet for Guo Mi and the others, only an instant had passed.
It was truly incredible!
“I heard from the fourth child that someone was chasing my good grandson!”
Zhang Xuanling’s gaze swept over Liu Changqing, his voice chilling:
“How audacious! Daring to chase my grandson, Zhang Xuanling’s grandson?”
