Chapter 55: Looking Up to the Sky with Tears of Excitement

Translator: 549690339

“What did you say? The City Lord himself is coming to visit me?” Yang Chao stared at the excited Sun Hua, thinking he must have misheard.

In the past, when he was in charge of the silk business at Yang Family Manor, it was difficult to even meet a minor steward under the City Lord’s Mansion. The City Lord was high and mighty, completely out of his reach.

And now, he was actually coming to visit him?

“Yes, it is indeed the City Lord himself, absolutely certain!” Sun Hua’s face flushed with excitement: “The City Lord has brought many boxes of generous gifts, and they are nearly here!”

“Many boxes of generous gifts?!” Yang Chao and Huang Ying were even more baffled upon hearing this.

When Yang Chao, Huang Ying, and a few others came out of the residence, they were stunned by the sight before them.

They saw the City Lord of Xingyue City, Zhang Tian, leading a grand procession of guards, each carrying a box of generous gifts!

There must have been dozens of boxes!

Yang Chao and Huang Ying were dumbstruck.

Only then did they realize the true meaning of ‘many boxes’ that Sun Hua had mentioned.

“Brother Yang Chao, I am Zhang Tian. I hope you can forgive my sudden visit,” Zhang Tian said, seeing Yang Chao and Huang Ying step out. He hurriedly saluted with a fist and smiled from afar, his warmth uncontainable.

Hearing Zhang Tian refer to him with such warmth as a brother, Yang Chao was flattered and quickly stepped forward to greet him, saluting with a fist, “City Lord, you are too polite. May I ask what this is about?”

He couldn’t understand why Zhang Tian, the esteemed City Lord of Xingyue City, would visit him, let alone with such an abundance of generous gifts.

Just as Zhang Tian was about to speak, suddenly, from afar, another procession approached.

The newcomers were the leading experts of Xingyue City’s prominent Yao Family, headed by none other than Yao Ping, the family head, followed by all the Yao Family elders.

Yao Ping, who controlled Xingyue City’s inns and taverns, also brought dozens of boxes of gifts.

“Yao Ping, along with the members of the Yao Family, has come to extend congratulations to Brother Yang Chao!” Yao Ping also saluted with a greeting from afar, his enthusiasm and respectful smile even greater than Zhang Tian’s.

In Xingyue City, Yao Ping’s status and position far exceeded Yang Ming from Yang Family Manor. Usually elusive as a dragon, the fact that he now joined Zhang Tian to offer congratulations left Yang Chao completely baffled.

At that moment, several more processions appeared simultaneously, led by the heads of Xingyue City’s great families, each holding a status not inferior to Yao Ping.

Finally, even Wen Jingyi from Wind Cloud Commerce Guild arrived with his entourage.

Just as Yang Chao thought the arrivals had ceased, suddenly someone shouted, “The City Lord of Dingfeng City has come to extend congratulations to Brother Yang Chao!”

Yang Chao, Huang Ying, and the others were taken aback.

Dingfeng City!

One of the cities surrounding Xingyue City.

But Dingfeng City was even larger than Xingyue City.

And now, even the City Lord of Dingfeng City had come?

“The City Lord of Black Wind City has come to extend congratulations to Brother Yang Chao!”

Suddenly, another voice shouted out.

Black Wind City, like Dingfeng City, was one of the cities around Xingyue City.

“The Sect Leader of Heaven and Earth Sword Sect has come with his subordinates to extend congratulations to Brother Yang Chao!” another voice rang out.

Upon hearing this, the crowd was astounded.

Although the Heaven and Earth Sword Sect was not a superpower of the Divine Sea Country, it was still a first-class sect, and its Sect Leader was a respected Martial King.

And now, even a Martial King had come to congratulate Yang Chao.

After that, one City Lord after another, one family head after another, one Sect Master after another, all arrived with their followers.

When no one else came, Yang Chao, looking at the mountain of gifts in front of him, couldn’t help but ask, “My friends, you have come to congratulate me, but I am unaware of the happy occasion you refer to?”

At this time, Yang Ming and Yang Hai, needing to purchase some items, were entering Xingyue City, but as soon as they entered, they noticed that Xingyue City was different than before. The entire city was bustling as if preparing for some grand celebration, making them extremely curious.

Driven by their curiosity, they asked passersby what had happened.

“You don’t know? Early this morning, our Xingyue City, Dingfeng City, and Black Wind City’s lords, along with the surrounding major families and sects, all came to give their congratulations to Lord Yang Chao,” the bystander said excitedly.

Lord Yang Chao?

Yang Ming and Yang Hai were startled and skeptical. Could it be someone with the same name?

“Why would the city lords and major families, sects want to congratulate Yang Chao?” Yang Hai couldn’t help but ask.

“It’s said that Lord Yang Chao’s son, Yang Xiaotian, possesses Twin Super Martial Spirits!” the passerby exclaimed with great excitement.

“What, Yang Xiaotian, Twin Super Martial Spirits?!” Yang Ming and Yang Hai were as if struck by lightning.

“Impossible!” Yang Hai suddenly screamed, agitatedly saying, “That waste, Yang Xiaotian, how could he possibly have Twin Super Martial Spirits!”

Seeing how agitated Yang Hai was, the bystander was somewhat surprised and explained, “It’s said that the Elder from Divine Sword Academy re-evaluated Yang Xiaotian’s Martial Soul. One is something like the Black Sea Divine Turtle Martial Soul, and the other is the Nether Hell Snake, both are level eleven Supreme Martial Spirits!”

“Not only that, but Yang Xiaotian’s talent in Sword Dao is unparalleled. In the Divine Sword Academy, no student has understood the Stone Sword for many years, yet Yang Xiaotian has comprehended seven Stone Swords in one day!”

“That’s precisely what alerted the five Great Elders of Divine Sword Academy!”

“Now, he has been conferred as the Son of Sword Hall!”

“This Yang Xiaotian, he is extraordinary. Many say that he will soon become the number one expert in Divine Sea Country!”

The bystander spoke with spittle flying.

Yang Ming and Yang Hai listened with their minds thundering incessantly.

So much so that they did not clearly hear what the passerby said next.

The number one expert in Divine Sea Country?!

Understanding seven Stone Swords in one day!

Twin level eleven Supreme Martial Spirits!

They stood there as if soulless, not moving for a long time.

At this moment, the Lord of Xingyue City, Zhang Tian, and others had also informed Yang Chao about the situation regarding Yang Xiaotian.

After hearing it, Yang Chao and Huang Ying felt as if they were in a dream.

“Ying’er, our son, Xiaotian, he has Twin Super Martial Spirits?” Yang Chao suddenly burst into tears, looking up to the sky and crying excitedly, “Heaven has eyes! My son, Yang Chao’s son, he has Twin Super Martial Spirits! He’s not just a level two Giant Tortoise Martial Soul!”

Huang Ying also cried a river of tears.

They were happy, happy for their son, and happy for themselves.

After a night of cultivation, Yang Xiaotian went to the Academy Repository once more, but this time he did not exchange for any Innate Secret Tomes, instead returning the tomes he had.

Yang Xiaotian was not in a hurry to understand the Stone Swords, but stayed in the Book Pavilion to browse other Innate Top Martial Techniques.

Exchanging for a new Secret Tome each time was too much of a hassle, so he decided to read all of these Innate Top Martial Techniques at once, memorize them, and then practice them all in one go when he got back.

For two days straight, Yang Xiaotian stayed inside the Book Pavilion, and after two days, he had finally read through the nearly one hundred Innate Top Martial Techniques that remained.

After finishing, Yang Xiaotian sat cross-legged on the floor, closed his eyes, and recalled all the Innate Top Martial Techniques he had read over the past two days, practicing them in his mind.

Once he was sure he had fully comprehended them, Yang Xiaotian left the Book Pavilion and started heading towards Hundred Swords Plaza.

This time, he intended to comprehend the Stone Swords up to the thirtieth, and then obtain the whereabouts of the Divine Fire from Chen Changqing’s mouth.
