Celestial 'War God' Return-Chapter 257: Bring Xue Bai To Train
"Did you wait for me on purpose, Aunt Yuan?"
"Yes." Tang Yuan pulled her nephew to sit beside her. "How was your meeting with Wang Fuxi? Did that woman recognize your identity?"
Tang Xiao shook his head at her. "Wang Fuxi didn’t recognize me, and Xiao Ai informed me that she’s still closely monitoring Ouyang Hong. She seems afraid that I’ll kill him, so she’s monitoring him closely."
"After all, the Ouyang Family is under Long Yin’s protection, and the situation will become chaotic if you kill Ouyang Hong." Tang Xiao nodded in understanding to Tang Yuan. "By the way, Feng Yao and I have already decided to stop following Wang Fuxi, and we have already withdrawn from her group, so we can’t give you information about her movements anymore."
Tang Xiao smiled when he heard that. "Honestly, you don’t need to think about Wang Fuxi, Aunt Yuan. That woman may be the second strongest cultivator on Earth II, but she will never be able to find me, let alone attack me. Moreover, all my enemies are dead except Ouyang Hong. I don’t need to deal with him now because he is busy with the divorce lawsuit filed by Yi An, and the people behind him also don’t dare to help him, especially after Xiao Ai threatened Huang Xiaoming. As for the other families, I’ve ordered her to monitor them, but they still haven’t shown any signs of moving, even though those people are dead."
"What will you do if the four cardinal families and the Huang Family make a move?"
"I will crush them straight away." Tang Yin didn’t doubt Tang Xiao because he had Xiao Ai, who was always ready to carry out his orders. "Do you still have business in the outside world, Aunt Yuan?"
"All my work is done now, and I won’t be taking on any new cases anytime soon."
"Now that we have concluded our affairs in the outside world, it’s time for us to concentrate on our lives as cultivators." Tang Yuan looked at Tang Xiao in confusion. "Aunt Yuan, Earth is just a small planet in the lower realm, and there are many more planets out there in the middle and upper realms. I would rather not waste my time on this planet, and I want to leave soon to explore those planets. I will bring you guys with me in the future, but our strength will not be enough to face the cultivators from the higher realms, as many of them are much stronger than Long Yin. Therefore, we must focus on our cultivation and fighting abilities, and the best way is to spend time on Earth II."
"Why does it have to be on Earth II? Why don’t we increase our strength and abilities here? After all, there is much more useful equipment here, especially the gravity feature."
"Haish!" Tang Xiao exhaled as he shook his head. "Aunt Yuan, we can use all the facilities in the ark to improve ourselves, but we can’t just train and cultivate here, and we need stronger opponents to further refine ourselves. We are cultivators, and we can only forge ourselves through actual combat. Since we still live on Earth, Earth II is the best training ground for us to hone our fighting skills before we head to the higher realms. If we rely solely on personal training, we will never truly improve, and we will be overwhelmed when facing cultivators in the higher realms."
"You’re right." Tang Yuan sighed softly. "I’ve lived in the outside world for too long, and I’ve grown accustomed to the life of an ordinary person. If I were to fight cultivators from Earth II at my current level, I’d probably lose to them because I’ve slacked off in my training. If you take me to the higher realms with my current abilities, I’m not confident that I can face the cultivators there, especially since they are already used to situations harsher than on Earth."
"That’s why it’s time for you to leave the job of a mortal to focus on your life as a cultivator." Tang Xiao looked far away while thinking. "Just like you, I still have to improve my abilities as a cultivator, especially my fighting abilities. Even though I have been practicing martial arts since I was five years old, I am sure that my ability to defend myself is still far from that of experienced cultivators on Earth II, let alone in the higher realms. Since I can’t do anything against Ouyang Hong for now, and Yi An is going on vacation to calm herself down, I decided to go to Earth II, and I will focus on improving myself there."
"Didn’t you already send your clone there? So, why would your real body also go there?"
Tang Xiao turned to his aunt. "Aren’t two better than one? My clone will continue to train on Earth II, and I’ll use a different name to fight in the Ming Clan’s battle arena again. The people fighting there are indeed rogue cultivators, but some of them have excellent fighting skills, like Zhao Zheng. I will use them as stepping stones to hone my fighting abilities, and I also intend to surpass my master’s record."
"Big Sis Lingyan’s record is 1,000 consecutive wins, so it’ll take you a long time to surpass it."
"We still have plenty of time for that, don’t we?" Tang Xiao asked his aunt with a smile. "My master’s record is indeed impressive, but I’m confident I’ll manage to break it in the future. Additionally, I will also train in the forest to fight beasts that are much stronger than me, so I’m sure my fighting skills will improve greatly, and I’ll be even more prepared to advance to the higher realms. When our cultivation reaches the Peak Stage of the Tyrant Level, I will take all of you to the higher realms because we will never be able to break through to the Saint Level with the quality and quantity of Qi on Earth."
"Eh?" Tang Yuan was surprised to hear that. "Will we really never be able to break through to the Saint Level if we stay on Earth?"
Tang Xiao shook his head at her. "Xiao Ai’s old master is a cultivator of the supreme realm, which is higher than the upper realm. She has a lot of data from her old master’s past adventures, and she told me that we will never be able to break through to the Saint Level as long as we stay on Earth, so we have no other choice but to go to the higher realms to achieve it."
"I see." Tang Yuan nodded in understanding. "No wonder Long Yin never managed to reach the Saint Realm; even though his cultivation had already reached the Peak Stage of the Tyrant Level long ago, it turns out that the quality and quantity of qi on Earth was insufficient to reach that stage. So, when are we going to train on Earth II? Can I invite Feng Yao to join us?"
"Feng Yao has helped me a lot, so you can tell her about my plans. If she wants to join us, then we’ll go to Earth II together." Tang Xiao agreed without a second thought.
"Alright." Tang Yuan immediately stood up from her seat. "I’ll go out now, and I’ll meet Feng Yao directly to discuss this matter."
Not long after Tang Yuan left, Xue Bai walked out of Mu Yan’s room and walked over to Tang Xiao, who immediately stroked her head. "Have you practiced before?"
"Yes, Master."
Tang Xiao led Xiao Bai to get on the flying car, which took them toward the training ground. "You might have practiced before, but you were still weak, so you were caught by that guy. For now, I want you to practice here, and I will take you out of this place once you are physically and mentally ready. At that time, you will accompany me to train on Earth II by fighting those stronger beasts, and we will strive hard to become strong together so I can take you to the higher realms."
Xue Bai looked at Tang Xiao in confusion, especially regarding the higher realms, prompting him to explain things to her.
Once they arrived at the training ground, Tang Xiao explained the device in the center and its gravity feature to Xue Bai. "For now, I’m used to four times gravity, but you won’t be able to withstand that much gravitational pressure, so you’ll have to start from level one. As for me, I will train against those battle dummies, so you can train in peace."
"Alright." Xue Bai followed Tang Xiao to the center of the room, her expression showing her impatience. Unlike in the past, she no longer lived alone, and she had become his contract beast, so she was determined to become strong to protect him.
"Are you ready?"
"I’m ready, Master." Xue Bai immediately fell to the floor as soon as Tang Xiao turned on the gravity device, and she struggled to move her body, including her tail. "Master, it’s really heavy."
"Haha." Tang Xiao crouched in front of Xue Bai and rubbed her head. "I also had a hard time like you when I first tried it, but I didn’t give up, and I managed to adapt to four times gravity. That’s why you should not give up; this training will make you strong enough that no one will be able to capture you again."
"Yes, Master."
