Beast Taming Makes Me Stronger-Chapter 42 - Sparring
42: Chapter 42 Sparring
42 -42 Sparring
“Big brother, although I am at a higher realm than you.”
“But I’m not as good as you.” Xu Ming looked up at his big brother with admiration.
Now, his big brother’s reputation was making quite the noise in the Outer Sect of the Sect; he had earned the nickname of ‘Self-Destructing Wind Escape’.
On the battlefield between the two Sects’ Outer Disciples, as soon as the Golden Wind Escape appears, the first reaction of the Xuanyin Sect disciples in battle is to frantically dodge it.
“We’re all family, no need to differentiate between who’s stronger or weaker.” Su Yunnuan said while adding a chicken leg to each of the brothers’ bowls.
At that moment, it was as if they had returned to their childhood.
“The family will hold a large gathering every 50 years, and you both should come when the time comes.” Xu Tian looked at the two brothers with contentment.
“A 50-year meeting, what’s the theme?” Xu Feng was taken aback.
Ever since he was born in this Immortal Realm, he had been very satisfied with the family structure he belonged to.
The core members gathered together, while the branch family members were scattered across the various mountain heads of the Spirit Turtle mountain range.
The responsibilities within the family were clearly defined, with duties and benefits all laid out in the open.
There was none of that literary trope of despising one another, with direct descendants bullying the same bloodline.
Before entering the Outer Sect of the Golden Cauldron Immortal Sect as a child, he had attended several family meetings with his father.
The atmosphere at those family gatherings was so good that Xu Feng could hardly believe it; if not for talking to outsiders, he would think they were all blood brothers from the same mother.
“The great battle of the Immortal Sects is coming, and the family must protect itself,” Xu Tian said indifferently.
“Is this Immortal Sects great battle any different from the usual?” Xu Ming asked while gnawing on a chicken leg.
“This time it’s different, it’s said that the entrance to the ruins of the Ancient Immortal Court has shifted to our Immortal Domain, and it’s a huge opportunity that occurs only once every million years,” Xu Tian said mysteriously.
“The ruins of the Ancient Immortal Court?”
“Our little place?” Xu Feng asked twice in succession.
“Looking at your expression, I can tell what you’re thinking.”
“The six great Immortal Sects simply don’t qualify to touch such ruins.”
“But, since the ruins are opening in the Green Cloud Immortal Domain, there will be at least sixty percent of the Human Clan’s strongest gathered here.”
“All of the top Immortal Sects and various prodigies from the Imperial Court will also come here to participate in this grand event.”
“Under these circumstances, as the local Immortal Sect of Green Cloud Immortal Domain, why not make a fortune instead of seeking power and courting death?”
“So this time, the great war of the six Immortal Sects is mainly about distributing these profits,” Xu Tian said with an inscrutable expression.
“If dad knows about this, it seems that the whole Immortal Domain must have spread the word,” Xu Ming said to his elder brother.
“I see, this time these profit divisions will probably make all six Immortal Sects give their all.”
Xu Feng let out a sigh, feeling the sadness of being a cannon fodder, without the space to rebel against such a major force.
“That’s why the family meeting this time is to help the family disciples survive this catastrophe,” Xu Tian said, picking up a cup of after-meal tea.
“At that time, the family will open the Treasure Vault, bringing out many protective Magic Treasures for the family members to safeguard themselves.”
“By then, Feng’er and Xiaoming, each of you will get one High Grade protective Treasure and three Turtle Shell Talismans.”
“The family is so generous!” Xu Ming’s eyes sparkled with excitement; what he needed most now was a defensive Treasure.
“It’s not for free; after living through this great battle of the Immortal Sects, as a family disciple, the obligations you owe would also double.”
“After reaching a higher level of Cultivation, you must return to the family two High Grade Treasures.”
Xu Feng also picked up the after-meal tea and drank it, nodding in his heart.
Three days later, at the Spirit Turtle Xu Family, the once-in-fifty-years family meeting commenced.
More than 3,000 people gathered together in a Daoist Field.
It was like a student assembly, but very brief, lasting only fifteen minutes.
After the Clan Leader said some encouraging words, Xu Feng and Xu Ming received the family Treasure Exchange Orders.
Xu Feng looked at the Order for a moment, then casually handed it to Xu Ming.
“Big Brother, what is this for?” Xu Ming was startled.
“High Grade protective treasures are useless for me; you take it, your life is the most important,” Xu Feng said with a grin.
The golden shield of the Spirit Turtle has now far surpassed the strength of High Grade protective treasures.
The ultimate strength of the golden shield, Xu Feng has had no chance to explore to this day.
Thinking of returning the Exchange Order, Xu Ming thought of his big brother’s nickname and couldn’t help but smile.
“Find an opportunity for me to witness how strong that golden shield of Big Brother really is,” Xu Ming recalled the discussions about his big brother in the Outer Sect.
Self-destructive light escape, high Tunneling Speed, strong Qi Explosion Technique, and an even stronger golden shield protecting his body.
“This is possible.
After you choose the High Grade treasure later, I’ll apply for a family Daoist Field, and then you can test it as you wish,” Xu Feng’s eyes lit up.
In the Mountain and Sea Divine Beast World, he often lets the Spirit Turtle attack the golden shield with its Golden Evil.
But that way, the results are unclear, only by letting outsiders test it can the strength of the golden shield be verified.
Two hours later, in a Daoist Field, the two brothers faced each other from a distance.
“Big Brother, you should put the golden shield on a puppet; I can’t bring myself to attack you,” Xu Ming scratched his head, feeling uncomfortable.
“My talented little brother, are you afraid of hurting me?” Xu Feng immediately laughed.
A layer of golden, honeycomb-patterned shield that flickered with a heavy glow enveloped Xu Feng.
Using Wind Escape to its peak, he charged rapidly towards Xu Ming.
“We’re in the Daoist Field now, let’s have a spar first, and test the shield afterwards.”
Xu Feng pinched the Qi Explosion Technique, turning into a golden rainbow charge towards Xu Ming.
“I won’t use my big moves, let me witness the peak strength of my little brother in the Outer Sect!” Xu Feng felt somewhat excited.
Ever since the two of them entered the Outer Sect, as the elder brother, he had not had the opportunity to assert his authority for a long time.
Watching his brother charging at him, a Spirit Sword appeared behind Xu Ming.
In an instant, a Sword Intent condensed above Xu Ming.
“Then be careful, Big Brother!”
“Heavy Sea Sword, strike!”
A hundred zhang long azure Giant Sword appeared above the Daoist Field, then slammed down heavily.
In an instant, the Daoist Field resonated like the waves of the sea.
Layers of waves swept across Xu Feng, instantly reducing his Tunneling Speed by half.
“Gold-breaking Sword, pierce!”
Golden Spiritual Power from heaven and earth converged, forming a ten zhang long Giant Sword with golden runes flickering on the blade, abruptly thrusting at Xu Feng’s golden shield.
In just a moment, a sharp glint flashed in Xu Feng’s eyes.
The golden protective shield instantly deformed into a missile shape.
The tail end exploded with Qi Explosion Technique, and he broke free of the wave-like restraints, charging towards Xu Ming.
“Sword Shadow with the Wind~”
Xu Ming’s figure swiftly moved through the Daoist Field, a bit faster than Xu Feng.
“Big Brother, this speed is hardly fitting of your nickname.” Xu Ming raised an eyebrow slightly, looking provocatively at his big brother.
“You little rascal, at first, you were afraid you’d hurt me.”
Xu Feng smiled slightly, the Qi Explosion Technique continuously detonated at the tail of the golden shield.
His speed soared instantly, and Xu Feng’s figure appeared behind Xu Ming like an illusion.
“Explode!”
Just as a weak Qi Explosion Technique was about to burst open, an Invisible Sword appeared above Xu Feng’s head, thrusting down fiercely.
“Clang!!”
The Invisible Sword shattered, failing to provoke even a ripple in the golden shield.
