Chapter 38: Imperial Capital

  After settling the Mo family's affairs, Xiao Xing Meng and Ah Zi rushed to the Imperial Capital, where their disciple Ye Kan had been training for two years. Although Yunlan Sect was just beside the Imperial Capital, they didn't visit Ye Kan when they passed by last time. However, based on the aura on Ye Kan's body, it could be known that this kid had made significant progress recently and had already reached the level of Dou Shi Seventh Star.

  He was practicing the mid-level Heaven Stage "Arhat's Heavenly Skill", and even with a poor innate talent, he had entered the realm of the post-Heaven Stage cultivation method at an alarming speed, almost catching up to Xiao Yan. His cultivation speed could be compared to that of geniuses like Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran.

  Otherwise, Xiao Xing Meng would not have been so confident when he first saw Ye Kan that he could train him into an extraordinary strong man.

  "Azizi, what was the ancestor of your Purple Crystal Winged Lion?" To avoid being discovered by the Yunlan Sect and the Imperial City's Dou Huang strongmen, Xiao Xing Meng had Azizi ride a flying beast to the Imperial City. It was a bit boring, so Xiao Xing Meng asked Azizi some questions to see if she had any chance of evolving. This beautiful female disciple still made Xiao Xing Meng very satisfied, especially since not long ago he had tried being a "little white face" for the first time in his two lifetimes.

  "Our ancestors were probably the Golden Thunder Purple Flame Lions, I've heard that our bloodline has been extinct since ancient times, I've never seen any news about our clan's ancestors before." Ah Zi shook her head slightly in dismay.

  Jin Lei Zi Yan Shi, Xiao Xing Meng had heard of it. Its destructive power is equivalent to that of the Tai Xu Gu Long, but its mysteriousness is even more so. Its entire body is covered in inverted purple fur, which is extremely hard and has a fearsome reputation for having both lightning and fire attributes. Its body is agile, especially its claws, which have the ability to easily shatter even the scales of the Tai Xu Gu Long! Moreover, it has an extremely violent temperament, yet possesses human-like intelligence. Even in ancient times, the Tai Xu Gu Long was filled with fear towards it.

  "Ah, awakening the bloodline of the demon beast isn't that easy, huh? I'll settle the score with you later. Next time, I'll teach you my clan's powerful techniques and give you some combat skills. You'll be able to take down people like those two from the other day with ease."

  "Thanks, Master." Ah Zi heard this and was overjoyed. For a powerful pursuer of magic beasts, this was the meaning of life.

  "Later I'll go see your senior, although you have eleven seniors, he's the only one younger than you, and his physical age is about the same as mine."

  ………

  "Next up is the star of our arena - Ye Kan, the Seventh Master of the Martial Arts!"

  According to He Yekan's communication, Xiaozi came to the Imperial Capital and ran to the Arena, now he has some reputation, and today coincidentally had his match, Xiao Xingmeng and A Zi bought two VIP tickets to go in and see Xiaozi's progress.

  Ye Kan walked out of the arena to the cheers of the crowd, his bare upper body revealing a robust and dark muscular physique that rivaled that of the governor. Three years had transformed the once scrawny young man into a sturdy giant.

  Although physical strength and power are not necessarily proportional, this is only the case for other martial arts. For ordinary warriors, during combat, they mainly use the internal fighting energy within their body to mobilize the elements between heaven and earth, spatial forces, creating effects like the collapse of heaven and earth, and overturning mountains and seas.

  However, those who cultivate the "Luohan Tougong" choose to continuously strengthen their physical body. After cultivating the physical body to a state of enlightenment, the explosive power of the punch can cause the earth to crack and space to shatter, with destructive force that is not inferior to controlling the energy of heaven and earth, and may even surpass it.

  However, simply strengthening the body and cultivating it is even more difficult than before, and the intense pain caused by strengthening the body makes it really hard for those with a weak mind to persist.

  "Luohan Nong Tian Gong" is a skill that grows in battle, and Ye Kan is indeed clever to come directly to the Imperial Capital's Arena, where he can earn money and fight without worry, no wonder this kid with mediocre talent has made rapid progress.

  The Imperial Capital's Arena is an industry supported by the imperial family, and it is very prosperous. Many times, they also select people they want from within the arena. The arena usually arranges for people of the same level to fight. When Ye Kan first arrived, he was still a small fighter. "Luohan Tougong" had not yet trained his body well, so he fought with great difficulty and often got seriously injured after finishing a match. However, this kid gradually relied on his willpower to get through it, and after being abused for a short time, he made rapid progress. Challenging higher levels became a common occurrence, and later, after his muscles gradually hardened, he could even withstand weapons. Now, in the arena, he is already a famous person, also known as "The Man Who Can't Be Cut by Knives" and "Muscle Hard Man".

  "And his opponent, unlike before, this time's opponent is a young man from the imperial capital, he is Fang Yuan of the Fang family! Currently twenty-five years old, already at the peak of Dou Shi nine stars! It is said that he came here to hone himself in order to break through to Da Dou Shi, but now he has encountered Ye Kan, who will win or lose?" The host introduced both sides from the high platform.

  Unlike the excited and tense spectators on the high platform around them, both of the two parties were looking at each other with disdain.

  Ye Kan is confident, in the past he would hold back to avoid ending the match too quickly and ruin the atmosphere of the hot-blooded arena, but today Master brought over his disciple sister to watch, so he must go all out. The opposing Fang Yuan had already been labeled as a tragic figure by Ye Kan.

  Poor Fang Yuan still thought he was a genius in his family, but now that he's facing off against someone two levels lower than him, a lowly commoner, he thinks to himself that the other guy is just a commoner, probably doesn't even know any decent techniques, and that he definitely won't lose. But little does he know, the other guy's skills are actually on a cheating level...

  "With a plebeian like you, it seems there's no room for me to improve even a bit. Ah, the life of a genius is indeed as lonely as snow." Fang Yuan stroked his sword while indulging in self-admiration.

  He picked his ear and then blew it away, saying: "You'd better make your move quickly, I have something to do, just take one trick from you for now."

  "Fine, since you're eager to die, I'll grant your wish!" Ye Kan's attitude of looking down on others made Fang Yuan angry, and he immediately used his strongest move, "Xuanjie Low-grade, Qingfeng Sword Qi!"

  He slashed a few swords, and several sharp sword auras shot towards Ye Kan. If he was hit, he wouldn't be surprised if he was really cut into several pieces. "The Green Edge's sword aura is sharper than ever, you're going to die!" Fang Yuan's eyes seemed to have already seen Ye Kan being cut into several pieces, and his face revealed a sinister smile.

  However, when those few sword auras hit Ye Kan's body, they actually just disappeared like that, without even breaking the skin!

  "Your moves are too weak! Even my Qi armor can't be broken by such a technique!" Ye Kan rushed to Fang Yuan's side, who was still in shock, and threw a punch.

  "Arhat Fist!" The Heaven-Defying Arhat Fist was not something that Ye Kan's level could handle, so Xiao Xing Meng created a weakened version of the technique, using some lower-level moves from the Mystic and Earth stages, such as the Arhat Fist and the Arhat Heaven Fist... At the time, Xiao Xing Meng was also ridiculed by Ye Kan for being too lazy in naming his techniques.

  Ye Kan's speed wasn't particularly fast, and Fang Yuan barely reacted in time, using his sword to meet Ye Kan's fist. Perhaps in his opinion, even if the opponent could withstand his fighting skills, they would still have to retreat when faced with this treasured sword.

  Of course, all that can be said is that this guy was too naive. Under Ye Kan's Zhuan Jiē Middle Arhat Fist, Fang Yuan's sword was broken and he flew out of the arena along with his person...

  "Fearsome Yekan, this time under the circumstances of crossing two levels, actually defeated his opponent in an instant! Moreover, just now he withstood the opponent's Dou Qi, and yet was completely unscathed! This man known as 'a knife can't be inserted' is indeed not a vain reputation! Winner - Yekan!" The on-site personnel and host looked at Yekan's abnormal physical strength and cross-level challenge without surprise, only cheering for his victory.

  "Yue Kan is indeed a pure brother! You are my idol!"

  "I heard that someone saw Ye Kan not wearing underwear last time, and it's true that a real man never wears underwear! I'll follow his example when I get back!" Some of the bloodthirsty mercenaries seem to be deeply interested in Ye Kan's toughness, but your IQ is a hard hit!

  "Yue Kan I want you to have children with me!" Some female fans shouted like this, okay, the "have children party" has arrived.

  ……

  "Hey, Master is great! Wow, this beautiful one is the junior sister you've heard of?" It's been a long time since they met, and Ye Kan still has such a carefree personality. At this moment, the three were walking on the street, heading towards...

  "This junior sister of yours is far stronger than you, she's a demon beast in disguise and is currently at the high-grade Dou Huang level. Where are you taking us, kid?"

  "Oh, I went to the auction house, don't be surprised, Master. When I first arrived, I hadn't learned the fighting skills you taught me yet, so I had to run a few rounds in the arena to buy some skills. Later on, after winning many prizes, I would take them to sell. The auctioneer, Yafei, probably took a liking to me too, and gave me more and more discounts, becoming increasingly intimate. She even tried to recruit me into her family, but the royal family had also approached me, so I didn't agree. This prize I just got, might as well take it to sell." Also touched the Na ring, looks like made a pretty penny, huh?

  "Hmm? Yafei probably also saw the potential of this kid, right? This woman, using her beauty trick on my disciple too? But it seems Ye Kan is not that interested?"

  Since they were going to the auction house, Xiao Xing Meng and Ah Zi covered their faces with black robes, then asked: "Ya Fei, I've also seen her, that angelic face and devilish figure, not bad at all, you can't look down on your junior sister either?"

  "Hmm, it's okay, but my mom said that having a big butt is good for giving birth, hers doesn't seem to be big enough." Ye Kan said, stroking his chin.

  Down! What logic, Xiao Xing Meng almost wanted to say that the junior sister next to you also had one, and it wasn't big either?

  "This person's hobby is not worth commenting on." Xiao Xing Meng was too lazy to explain this point, and didn't know if Ya Fei was being serious or not.
