Not long after Ye Yang left, dozens of black-robed figures arrived at the Ox-Head Mountain stronghold.
"They're all dead?"
"Looks like this potion is still somewhat incomplete."
"Take away all the corpses and body parts here."
"Yes, sir."
The black-robed leader examined the traces of battle around him.
"A complete crushing victory? Kira possessed the strength of an A-Class mage, and after being demonized, he was close to S-Class."
"Even with that kind of strength, he still failed to take down the intruder?"
"Could some guild have sent out an S-Class mage?"
"It seems we'll have to be more careful in the future."
Magnolia Town
Ye Yang returned to town the next day.
The guild was still as lively as ever.
The moment San Mao and Er Gou saw their boss return, they hurriedly rushed over.
San Mao: "Boss, Boss, how did the mission go? What did it feel like? Were the enemies strong? You have to take us along next time you do a mission..."
"Er Gou!"
"Yes, Boss! Understood, Boss!"
"Huh?!"
While San Mao was still stunned, Er Gou dragged him aside and gave him a vicious beating.
Seeing that he had returned safely, Makarov asked, "How was your first mission?"
"Emmm, it was alright. The enemies just felt a little weak."
"When can I become S-Class?"
"You're young, but you sure talk big. S-Class isn't as easy as you think."
"Tell me about the commission first."
Ye Yang then told Makarov everything he had seen and encountered.
After listening, Makarov's face turned grave.
"Are you sure the person you killed turned into a Monster and came back to life?"
"Yeah. I think it was probably the work of some Cult or Dark Guild."
"It's unlikely that a Dark Guild was involved, but I've never heard of any Cult that could turn the dead into Monsters."
"I'll report this matter to the Council."
"Those useless fools. Something this serious happened, and they didn't have a single piece of information."
Ye Yang looked at the angry Makarov and said, "Old Man, does that mean I'm done now?"
"Hm? Once the commission is complete, there's nothing else. Do you have something to do?"
"Of course. I still need to go look at houses."
🖕
"You still haven't given up on that dream of yours?!"
"Tch, I said it's a dream. Is that something you can just give up on whenever you want?!"
"Er Gou, San Mao, stop playing dead! Let's go!"
"Got it, Boss!"
"Come on, Boss, tell me what doing missions feels like."
Ye Yang looked at San Mao with a smile. "If you keep yapping, I'll have Er Gou beat you up some more. Got it?"
"Hehe, got it, got it."
Two months later
Inside the estate Ye Yang had bought
Er Gou and San Mao were undergoing Ye Yang's brutal training. Each of them carried a stone block two meters tall and one meter wide on their backs while doing frog jumps.
Every time they jumped, the ground trembled slightly.
Meanwhile, Ye Yang lay back in a chair, drinking tea as he supervised their training.
After completing the final jump, both of them collapsed onto the ground, panting heavily.
"Gou, I feel like my legs don't even belong to me anymore."
"Mao, you should talk less."
Ye Yang nodded in satisfaction at the two of them after they completed their task. Then, with one hand, he grabbed both of them and threw them directly into the Medicinal Bath beside them.
The moment they were thrown in, the potent medicine rapidly entered their bodies. The immense pain made them wish they were dead.
"Fuck, this hurts way too much!"
"AAAAAH!!!"
"Mao, hang in there!"
Seeing their expressions, Ye Yang could not help but ponder.
(Grandma Porlyusica's medicine really is powerful. Their Life Aura is getting stronger and stronger.)
(In a few more months, they should be able to train in the Six Styles.)
Before long, the two climbed out of the bath. The once-thick Medicinal Bath had now become somewhat diluted.
Their bodies had also grown more muscular, their lines more defined. Ye Yang nodded in satisfaction.
"Keep at it for a few more months, and you'll be able to learn the Six Styles."
The moment San Mao heard that, he immediately wilted.
"No way, Boss. A few more months? Does training in the Six Styles really require such insane physical strength?!"
"It's for your own good. If I build your foundation now, training later will be easier."
As he spoke, Ye Yang pulled a card directly from his pocket.
"I found a shop on the street recently. Buy it for me at the lowest price possible. Also, it's time to collect rent from those houses."
San Mao immediately took the card.
"Hehe, don't worry, Boss. I know this stuff. Leave it to me and Gou—we guarantee we'll complete the mission."
"Mhm. Then hurry up. I accepted a mission, so I need to get going first."
With a flash of golden light, Ye Yang vanished from where he stood.
Watching this, San Mao said enviously, "Sigh, I really want to go on missions with Boss. Training like this every day is going to ruin me."
Er Gou said, "Enough, you talk too much. Hurry up. If we don't finish the task, be careful or Boss will beat you up."
Before long, Ye Yang appeared in the guild.
Over the past two months, the three of them had already become close with everyone in the guild.
The moment Natsu saw Ye Yang appear, he rushed over to challenge him to a duel. As expected, Ye Yang casually sent Natsu flying with a single blow.
The sight made everyone burst into laughter again.
"Old Man, I'm here to take a mission."
"What kind of mission requires me specifically? Let me make this clear first: if the pay's too low, I'm not going."
"You brat, have you fallen into a pit of money?!"
As he spoke, he tossed the commission in his hand to Ye Yang.
Ye Yang opened the commission and looked at it.
"Eliminate the Demon in the Church?"
"There's a Demon in a church?"
"Tsk, tsk, tsk. This god sure is useless."
Bang!
Makarov jumped up and smacked Ye Yang.
"You brat, watch your mouth!"
"Yeah, yeah, pretend I didn't say anything. But why do I have to go? And why does it pay so little?"
"It's an urgent commission. A village is being terrorized by a Demon, and the Village Chief is afraid it will harm the villagers, so he issued this commission."
"You're the fastest person in the whole guild. If you don't go, who will?"
"To put it in your words, if you don't earn this money, who will?"
Ye Yang looked at Makarov with disdain. "Old Man, your skin is getting thicker and thicker. Besides, there isn't even much money in it."
Makarov immediately cut him off. Activating Giant Magic, he grabbed Ye Yang in one hand. Veins bulged across his arm as it instantly grew a full size thicker.
Giant Ye Yang Throw!
Whoosh!
Ye Yang's body instantly tore through the air, shooting into the distance at incredible speed.
"You old man, you have no martial—virtue~~"
"Ah, I feel much better now."
The guild members watched their guild master throw Ye Yang straight out, staring in shock at the smiling little old man.
San Mao: "B-Boss ascended."
Er Gou: "Nice."
