I Fabricated the Techniques, but my disciple really mastered them?

Chapter 393: Chapter 224: What, you don’t agree? !

Xu Yan was unaware of the rules of the Ling Domain. Seeing the giant stone unoccupied, he immediately claimed it for his own.

For him, the rule of ‘first come, first serve¹ applied. He arrived first, thus this place was his.

As for rules?

Those are for the weak to heed. Though he might not be very powerful in the Ling Domain, none of those present in the Black Cloud Swamp could match him.

He was the most powerful one here, hence seizing this prime spot was perfectly reasonable!

Looking at the poisonous fog swirling around the Black Cloud Swamp, Xu Yan couldn’t help but ponder.

“I have the Detoxification Pills and Protective Pills made by my junior sister, Su Lingxiu. They should be able to resist this poisonous mist. Should I step into the Azure-Sky Flood Dragon Tomb ahead of time?”

This poison fog seemed intense, capable of corroding True Yuan. Inside the poisonous fog, one had to constantly expend True Yuan to resist it, unable to stay too long.

Besides, if danger strikes amidst the poisonous fog, it would be too hectic to manage both the poison and the danger, rendering it impossible to fully utilize one’s strength.

This was why all the major forces were waiting for the poisonous fog to dissipate before entering the Azure-Sky Flood Dragon Tomb.

But Xu Yan had Su Lingxiu’s Detoxification Pills and Protective Pills. He could resist the poisonous fog without consuming True Yuan, and could go all out in case of a danger.

“I mustn’t be reckless, having just entered the Ling Domain. I am yet to understand the threats these valuable lands may hold. It’s better to wait,”

Xu Yan mulled it over and gave up his plan to enter the Azure-Sky Flood Dragon Tomb ahead of time.

He looked towards the prodigies from various major forces within the Ling Domain. Almost every one of them was accompanied by several peak-level Great Grandmasters. The faces of these martial artists were pale.

A desperate look.

If his guess was correct, these were martial artists that Dai Yingying had mentioned, sent to probe the way ahead.

“The Azure-Sky Flood Dragon Tomb must possess some dangers, the deadliest of which should be the poisonous fog, hence why people are sent to probe the way ahead.

“By joining these people, I can avoid unnecessary troubles. After all, no one here can overtake me!”

After contemplating, Xu Yan sat down on the giant stone and continued to comprehend martial arts.

It wasn’t that he was overconfident, but even if everyone present joined forces, they would not be able to do anything to him!

A day later.

The toxic fog of the Black Cloud Swamp had faded somewhat more.

In another three to five days, the poisonous fog would temporarily disperse. It would then be the right time to enter the Azure-Sky Flood Dragon Tomb.

Two figures flew in.

The leading person was a round-faced, slightly chubby young man, and the other was his attendant.

“They’re here!”

Great geniuses from various forces in the Black Cloud Swamp immediately perked up and looked towards Xu Yan, who was sitting cross-legged on the stone. They revealed their gloating expressions.

Many looked at him as if he was a dead man.

Shen Haizhou from the premier family Shen Family of Yuzhou, the rising genius who came to the Azure-Sky Flood Dragon Tomb this time!

The giant stone was supposed to be the Shen Family’s reserved spot!

With his servant, Shen Haizhou arrogantly approached. In the entire Black Cloud Swamp, no force except the Jade God Sect could rival Shen Family!

Here, he was above everyone else.

Flying towards the spot that everyone assumed belonged to the Shen family, he abruptly paused.

Someone was sitting cross-legged on the giant stone.

“Who is this person from a Spirit Sect or noble family? Is he stronger than my Shen Family?”

Shen Haizhou was stunned.

He dared to occupy the spot that initially belonged to him. The forces the person belonged to must definitely be stronger than Shen Family.

Otherwise, this person was breaking the rules, lacking respect!

However, the young man on the giant stone seemed to be a loose cultivator, and his strength didn’t seem impressive.

His eyebrows furrowed and a displeased look crept onto his face.

A mere loose cultivator dared to occupy a spot originally designated to a premier family?

This was a death wish!

“Does a loose cultivator have such audacity?”

Shen Haizhou’s cautious nature kept him from suppressing it with force right away.

“Young Master, let me kill him. He dares to tarnish the perfect spot of young master!”

The attendant beside him said angrily.

“Expel him first. No need to kill,” Shen Haizhou considered for a moment before giving his instructions.

“Youngmaster… Yes, sir!”

The attendant wanted to say something, but recalling his young master’s cautious nature, he decided to obey the command.

The two descended from the sky and landed on the giant stone.

Xu Yan, engrossed in comprehending martial arts, frowned. “There’s someone already here!”

“Kid, this place belongs to my Shen Family. You’ve broken the rules. Get lost and find another place,” the Shen Family attendant said in a cold voice.

At the same time, his aura surged, exerting the pressure of a celestial martial artist on him.

A mid-stage martial artist of the Celestial Man realm!

Xu Yan lifted his head to look at the counterpart and said coldly, “Is the Shen Family’s name carved here? In a place free of ownership, the rule of ‘first come, first serve’ applies. I came first, so this place is naturally mine!

“Those who do not want to die, leave now! Otherwise, don’t blame me for not being merciful!”

As the opponent intended to oppress him with an aura, Xu Yan naturally wouldn’t hold back either.

The Shen Family attendant was immediately infuriated. He looked at Xu Yan’s attire, definitely a loose cultivator, and yet so arrogant. If they didn’t suppress him severely, where would the dignity of the Shen Family, a premier family, stand?

“Young man, dare to challenge the power of premier families, do you know your place? Die!”

The concept of expulsion and caution were long thrown out of the attendant’s mind.

He raised his hand and lashed out. A claw imprint came crashing down, aiming for Xu Yan.

Xu Yan’s eyes turned cold. These martial artists of the Ling Domain were truly arrogant and rampant. He also realized that in the Ling Domain, where strict hierarchies prevailed, noble families and Spirit Sects looked down on loose cultivators.

It was clear how difficult it was for loose cultivators and other bottom-level martial artists in the Ling Domain.

“If you’re seeking death, I’ll grant it!”

Since this man was trying to kill him, Xu Yan would make no considerations for the forces behind his opponent.
