Chapter 28: Two Freaks!

 

Ye Tianming returned to find that Mu Guanchen had already left.

Ye Tianming held a bowl and looked at the small tower in front of him, asking curiously: “Tower Ancestor, what did the teacher talk to you about?”

The small tower laughed: “We were just chatting casually.”

Ye Tianming nodded and didn’t ask anything more.

The small tower said: “Why aren’t you continuing to ask? I believe you must be very curious.”

Ye Tianming replied seriously: “It’s enough for me to know that Tower Ancestor has no ill intentions toward me. As for the rest, I believe that when the time comes to tell me, Tower Ancestor will naturally do so. In short, I trust Tower Ancestor unconditionally. If Tower Ancestor doesn’t say, I absolutely won’t ask.”

The small tower was clearly very happy, “Very good, you’re much better than those two guys before. Tower Master likes you. Let me tell you, those two guys were troublemakers, always thinking about how to trick me. You’re much more honest.”

Those two guys before… Could it be that Tower Ancestor had followed others before?

Ye Tianming was somewhat curious in his heart, but didn’t ask anything more. After finishing his meal and cleaning up, he went to the back mountain to continue his cultivation.

Regarding this earth vein power, he was now somewhat impatient to master it. He was truly eager to improve his strength. Only with sufficient power could he control his own destiny.

He stood on the ground, eyes slightly closed, circulating his cultivation technique.

Unlike when he first started, he had now adapted to the earth vein power. Around him, earth vein power surged. He felt that beneath the earth, there was infinite power, truly endless.

But the only unfortunate thing was that his physical body simply couldn’t bear much of the earth vein power. Yet cultivating the physical body was especially expensive, and what he lacked most now was money. Therefore, he simply couldn’t cultivate his physical body.

Having no money was truly a great difficulty!

Ye Tianming suddenly opened his eyes, “Tower Ancestor, I have an idea.”

The small tower was somewhat curious, “What idea?”

Ye Tianming looked down at the ground, “My body has limits and cannot bear too much earth vein power, but what if I don’t use my body?”

The small tower was puzzled, “What do you mean?”

Ye Tianming said solemnly: “I mean, originally I was using my body as a container for this earth vein power, but the body has limits… if I don’t use my body, and instead use the entire earth as my body, when facing enemies, I directly mobilize the entire earth vein power, letting it bypass my body and erupt directly like a volcano…”

Small tower: “…”

Ye Tianming said excitedly: “I can try it.”

The small tower suddenly said: “Have you considered that even if you succeed, you would be at the core center of a volcanic eruption. Could you survive?”

Ye Tianming frowned, “That’s true… Tower Ancestor, do you have any good suggestions?”

The small tower smiled: “Then I’ll give you a hint. Your cultivation technique is special, able to absorb the earth’s power. Since it can absorb, naturally it can also…”

“I understand.”

Ye Tianming suddenly said excitedly: “Since it can absorb, it can also mobilize.”

The small tower laughed heartily, “Smart.”

Ye Tianming was extremely excited. He circulated his cultivation technique and slowly raised his right hand. In an instant, the earth vein power beneath his feet began to surge, and the ground started to tremble.

It really works!

Ye Tianming suppressed his inner excitement. He slowly raised his right hand, and from deep within the earth, countless streams of earth vein power continuously emerged. Strands of pale golden light surrounded him like a curtain of rain.

His face began to turn pale, and he also felt somewhat nervous, because he sensed that the earth vein power around him contained powerful force, very dangerous. But his mind was clear. The more critical the moment, the more calm and steady he needed to be, because one careless move and he might be backlashed by this earth power.

He took a deep breath, then pointed his fingers at a distant mountain.

In an instant, countless golden lights shot toward the distant mountain.

Rumble!

That mountain directly exploded, flattened to the ground. Countless dust rose to the sky, covering the distant horizon. At the same time, the ground split open into deep ravines, like a giant spider web.

But Ye Tianming couldn’t see this scene, because after pointing that finger, he had already fallen unconscious.

He and Tower Ancestor had overlooked one point: although the earth vein power didn’t pass through his body, controlling that much earth vein power required mental strength, and his current mental strength simply couldn’t bear mobilizing so much earth vein power.

When Mu Guanchen arrived at the scene and saw the distant mountain that had been flattened, he was somewhat surprised. He looked down at Ye Tianming lying on the ground with a face as pale as paper, and said softly: “This little fellow…”

Saying this, he carried Ye Tianming on his back and walked toward the distance.

In the great hall.

Song Shi looked at Ye Tianming lying on the bed, “Was that mountain on the back flattened by him?”

Mu Guanchen, sitting behind the desk writing something, nodded, “Yes.”

Song Shi’s expression was complex, “Monstrous talent.”

Mu Guanchen smiled: “I was also quite surprised. I didn’t expect he would use that method to utilize the earth vein power.”

Song Shi shook his head, “Too reckless.”

“Not reckless!”

Mu Guanchen said: “One needs the spirit of adventure.”

Song Shi looked at Mu Guanchen, “Like you?”

Mu Guanchen smiled but didn’t speak.

Song Shi shook his head, “You’re both freaks.”

Mu Guanchen asked, “Have there been any movements from the Xiao family and Qingzhou Guanxuan Academy recently?”

Song Shi said: “No.”

Mu Guanchen’s brows furrowed.

Song Shi’s expression was quite solemn.

No movement was actually abnormal, because the Xiao family and Qingzhou Guanxuan Academy would definitely not let Ye Tianming go. For forces of that level, they understood what it meant to eliminate the root to prevent future troubles.

Mu Guanchen suddenly said: “You need to keep an eye on the Ye family.”

Song Shi said: “That Miss Nanling Zhao’s friend is watching over them.”

Mu Guanchen shook his head, “Not enough. Although Nanling Zhao’s friends have unusual backgrounds and identities, they won’t directly confront the Xiao family and Qingzhou Guanxuan Academy for the Ye family. Therefore, we still need your help to look after them.”

Song Shi turned to look at the still unconscious Ye Tianming, then said: “I will ask a few old friends to secretly watch over the Ye family.”

Mu Guanchen suddenly started coughing.

Song Shi looked at him, somewhat worried, “Are you alright?”

Mu Guanchen smiled: “No major problem…”

As he spoke, he looked at Ye Tianming lying on the bed, “This little fellow’s biggest problem now is lack of actual combat experience. If he could train in the Celestial Treasure Pavilion’s cultivation tower, it would definitely be of great help to him.”

Song Shi said: “I’ll find a way. Not all states’ Celestial Treasure Pavilions will give face to the Xiao family.”

Mu Guanchen nodded, “Good.”

Song Shi said: “I’ll personally go to the Ye family first to check. The Xiao family has no scruples now and is capable of anything.”

“Principal.”

At this moment, Ye Tianming lying on the bed suddenly woke up.

Song Shi looked at Ye Tianming. Ye Tianming quickly tried to get up, but because he was too weak, he almost fell back down. Song Shi slightly raised his hand, and a gentle force supported him.

Ye Tianming quickly took out a scroll from his bosom. He handed the scroll to Song Shi, “Principal, please give this to my elder brother, let him and Ye Zong cultivate it first.”

Song Shi glanced at the scroll, “Your cultivation technique?”

Ye Tianming nodded.

Previously, the reason he didn’t share the cultivation technique with Ye Nan and Ye Zong was because he had just created it and wasn’t confident himself, so how could he dare let his elder brother and Ye Zong cultivate it? But now this cultivation technique had been perfected and could be practiced.

And the reason he only let Ye Nan and Ye Zong cultivate first was that if the entire Ye clan cultivated together, it might bring catastrophic disaster. Therefore, they could only proceed slowly.

Song Shi looked at Ye Tianming, “This cultivation technique of yours is not simple. Are you really willing to share it with your elder brother and the others?”

Ye Tianming shook his head, “It’s just an external possession.”

Let alone a scroll of cultivation technique, even a divine weapon that ignored cultivation levels wouldn’t be as important to him as his clan members.

Song Shi looked at Ye Tianming, his expression quite complex. With his insight, he could naturally tell whether the young man before him was speaking truth or falsehood.

He put away the scroll and turned to leave.

Mu Guanchen looked at Ye Tianming and smiled: “You’re still very weak now, lie down first.”

Ye Tianming lay down. Looking at the busy Mu Guanchen, he was somewhat curious, “Teacher, I see you writing every day. What are you writing?”

Mu Guanchen smiled: “A kind of law.”

Ye Tianming was somewhat puzzled.

But Mu Guanchen didn’t say much more and continued writing his own things.

Ye Tianming lay on the bed, slowly closing his eyes.

The small tower suddenly said: “Your elder brother’s dantian is already shattered. Your cultivation technique might be useless to him.”

Ye Tianming said softly: “Tower Ancestor, do you know why I wanted to try mobilizing earth vein power without using my body?”

The small tower asked curiously: “Why…”

As it spoke, it suddenly realized something and said with some complexity: “Because one can cultivate without using the dantian…”
