100: Chapter 100 Martial Prime Minister's 'Fire Phoenix' Bloodline, the Powerful Fang Zhuo
Downstairs at the apartment complex.
After landing, the two martial artists did not rush upstairs, but instead exchanged a glance.
"Xiao Lu, this time we are here, listen to me for everything. You are not to speak, understand?"
The female martial artist speaking wore a cyan martial arts uniform that fit perfectly, as if it were custom-made. She appeared to be in her early forties, with a blend of mature feminine charm and the decisive, swift style of a martial artist.
"Got it, Grandma Lan."
The male martial artist looked about the same age as Fang Zhuo, with delicate features, even somewhat feminine.
"Come to think of it, your Great-Grandma Zhiyi originally wanted to come herself. Her temper is even more explosive than yours, and I was afraid there would be a conflict with Fang Family, so I stopped her."
Grandma Li Lan saw that Li Lu was not really listening, so she emphasized it again.
"This Fang Family's ancestral grave must be blessed; a genius has emerged. He has quite a reputation within the Starry Sky Group, having become a Transcendent Martial Artist in just over three months. This time, we are only here to take back Fang Jing, so it is not advisable to get into a dispute with Fang Family."
"Fang Zhuo, huh? His fame has been quite significant these past few days; his name has spread throughout all the major martial artist groups."
Li Lu had one hand in his pocket and was rubbing his chin with the other.
He had also signed an s-rank contract with the New Moon Group this year and had recently been nagged incessantly by his department head.
"For geniuses like us, Transcendent is just the beginning. He broke through so quickly because of his special Martial Aspect; it might not necessarily be a good thing."
"Being ahead by one step doesn't mean being ahead forever; only those who eventually become Flying Sky are the true winners."
"It is a good thing that you can think this way."
Grandma Li Lan looked back at Li Lu, a look of gratification on her face, but she sighed inwardly.
The once prosperous Li Family was now somewhat desolate, and Li Lu was the only Transcendent seed the Li Family had produced in these two generations.
If it weren't for the lack of talent and the generation gap, she would not have had to make this trip.
...
In The Fang Family home.
As an Advanced Martial Artist, father-in-law Bai Qiming had experienced many battles in the Wilderness Area, and his reaction was only second to none, even faster than Bai Shiwei.
He also sensed that something was wrong with Fang Dawei.
"Fang Zhuo, Old Master, do the visitors mean trouble?"
Bai Qiming asked.
"It is hard to say. This matter has nothing to do with you all. Don't come out in a while; I can handle it myself." Fang Dawei stood up.
Fang Zhuo, however, shook his head: "Grandpa, whatever the Li Family wants, I will entertain them."
In the Federation, might makes right.
Facing the Li Family with unknown intentions, and now as a Transcendent Martial Artist, if The Fang Family had to send someone out, it should naturally be him.
Fang Dawei looked at the resolute Fang Zhuo and said with gratification: "Fine, you come with Grandpa."
Fang Wu, Li Ru, and the others did not know about Li Yu's background. At this moment, they were anxious, shocked, and confused. They wanted to ask for clarification but were afraid of disturbing Fang Dawei and Fang Zhuo's train of thought.
Just as they were about to lose their patience, two sets of footsteps came from outside the door.
"Knock, knock, knockβ"
The knocking followed immediately, as if hitting the hearts of both families with every strike.
Fang Zhuo opened the door and scanned the visitors.
"Who are you looking for?"
Fang Zhuo's tense muscles relaxed slightly; these two were not strong, at least not strong to him.
The only one who needed attention was the female martial artist standing in front. Her Life Level was Transcendent, with a specific level not exceeding 44, and her strength was likely not as good as Ding Nan's.
Even before his physical control broke through yesterday, he could have easily handled her.
As for now, if there really were a conflict, it would likely be a matter of one blade strike.
"You must be Fang Zhuo? I am from the Xinyue Li Family, Grandma Li Lan. I have come to find your grandfather and your sister, Fang Jing. Could we speak aside?"
Grandma Li Lan looked at Fang Zhuo, who stood before her like a door god, and felt slightly surprised inwardly.
Her Life Level was at 43, and with over twenty years of accumulation, her physical control was approaching the Internal Landscape - Great Achievement, and her mastery of the fourth level of the Thunder Fire Blade technique was also pure and perfect.
Her strength was not weak; she had a chance of winning against most level 44 Transcendent Martial Artists.
Yet, face-to-face with Fang Zhuo, she vaguely felt a sense of terror, as if she were in the Wilderness Area being watched by a level 46 or 47 Transcendent Exotic Beast.
Didn't he just break through to Transcendent?
Why would there be such a feeling of oppression?
"So it's Sister Lan." Standing half a step behind Fang Zhuo, Fang Dawei patted Fang Zhuo's shoulder and introduced her: "This is your grandmother's sister; she took good care of your grandmother and me back in the day."
Seeing that the visitor was Grandma Li Lan, Fang Dawei relaxed quite a bit.
Especially seeing that Grandma Li Lan's attitude was so good, even better than when Li Yu was still around.
"Grandma Lan."
Hearing this, Fang Zhuo smiled and called out, then stepped aside to let them in.
At the tea table in the living room.
Fang Zhuo and Fang Dawei sat on one side, facing Grandma Li Lan.
Li Lu stood behind Grandma Li Lan with his hands in his pockets, his feminine eyes darting back and forth over Fang Zhuo, looking somewhat uncertain and suspicious.
Grandma Lan's attitude was a bit too good!
Fang Zhuo's aura also felt very wrong to him; he did not seem like a martial artist who had just entered the Transcendent level, and was even more inscrutable to him than some senior Transcendents in the group.
"Dawei, I came this time, one, to see you, and also to take a look at your The Fang Family's genius, Fang Zhuo." Grandma Li Lan took a sip from her teacup and continued: "Additionally, there is something I need to discuss with you."
As Grandma Li Lan spoke, she looked toward the hallway.
At the corner of the hallway, Fang Jing quickly pulled back her head.
Fang Zhuo did not speak, only looking at his grandfather.
"What matter?"
Fang Dawei asked.
He straightened his back unconsciously, feeling that he had never been this assertive in front of the Li Family before.
Grandma Li Lan had used the word 'discuss'.
His wife's sister had taken care of them in the past, but she had never spoken to him on such equal footing before.
"You know, my Li Family does not have many descendants; each generation is small. Now, talent is withering, and we are not as glorious as in the past."
Grandma Li Lan said unhurriedly: "Aunt's intention is to recall all Li Family bloodlines currently outside."
Recall... does this mean they want to take him away?
Upon hearing this, Fang Zhuo's expression became somewhat strange. According to what Grandma Li Lan said, he also possessed the Li Family bloodline.
Fang Dawei gave Fang Zhuo a look and asked in surprise: "You want to take Fang Jing away?"
"That is correct."
Grandma Li Lan smiled.
In the hallway, Fang Jing, who was hiding behind the wall, widened her eyes.
These people from Grandma's side want to take her away?
"You know, my Li Family's Martial Aspect bloodline is always passed down to women. I checked when I came in; Fang Jing's bloodline is very pure, possessing seventy percent of the density Li Yu had back then."
"The reason she cannot awaken the Martial Aspect 'Fire Phoenix' now is simply because she hasn't undergone proper guidance. If Fang Jing goes to the Li Family, she will be able to complete her awakening in at most one month."
Grandma Li Lan's eyes were filled with anticipation.
Fang Dawei and Fang Zhuo exchanged a glance, then said: "We have no objection, but this depends on the child's own wishes."
Grandma Li Lan frowned slightly and looked at Fang Zhuo.
Fang Zhuo nodded indifferently: "Grandpa's wish is my wish."
This matter was a good thing for his younger sister, Fang Jing, provided, of course, that Fang Jing herself had aspirations for the martial path.
The Martial Aspect 'Fire Phoenix' is ranked fifth among the nine Superior Martial Aspects recorded in the Federation.
Fang Jing is not even sixteen yet; if she can awaken the Martial Aspect 'Fire Phoenix' early, she will likely become a Transcendent Martial Artist in the future.
For anyone in the Federation, this is an opportunity that cannot be sought.
After Fang Zhuo stated his position, he waved toward the hallway and called out: "Fang Jing, come here."
Upon hearing this, Fang Jing poked her head out. Seeing Fang Zhuo smile and nod, she walked step by step to Fang Zhuo's side, her hands constantly twisting the corner of her clothes.
"You have heard it all. If you go to the New Moon Group's Li Family with this grandmother's sister, Grandma Lan, you can awaken the Martial Aspect 'Fire Phoenix', and you will also have the chance to become a Transcendent Martial Artist in the future."
"Of course, if you don't want to go, just speak up boldly; no one can force you."
Fang Zhuo was now 1.85 meters tall, and even while sitting, he could reach the top of Fang Jing's head.
Fang Jing huddled beside Fang Zhuo, cautiously glancing at Grandma Li Lan. She did not speak immediately, her expression conflicted.
Grandma Li Lan felt some annoyance after hearing Fang Zhuo's words.
This younger generation of Fang Family, Fang Zhuo, was a bit unyielding. If she had known, she should have let Great-Aunt Zhiyi come herself!
However, she really had not expected that Fang Zhuo, despite having just become a Transcendent Martial Artist, would make her feel he was difficult to deal with.
