Who Would Dare Call Me "Yang One-Blade" Now?

"?" Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord asked curiously.

"You cultivate both lightning and fire, could it be for that Dou Technique you just used?"

Yang Shan: "Yes."

Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord commented:

"Thinking about it carefully, your Dou Technique is indeed quite exquisite and powerful, and it should consume very little energy, right? Otherwise, how could you possibly outlast me?"

Yang Shan smiled and said:

"The Sea Heart Flame can continuously restore my Dou Qi. If it's just about maintaining Dou Qi Transformation Wings and this self-created Dou Technique, I can always ensure that my Dou Qi is fully stored!"

"Original creation?"

Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord was somewhat surprised and doubtful for a moment:

"You brat, you created your own Earth-rank Dou Technique?"

In Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord's view, Yang Shan's Overload power had reached the threshold of the Earth Rank, and the consumption was so low.

Even among Earth-tier Low-grade Dou Technique, it is considered extremely outstanding.

Aren't Earth-rank Dou Technique the culmination of insights gained over the years by old guys at the Dou Zong or even Dou Zun levels? How could a Dou Wang create an Earth-rank Dou Technique?

Is this reasonable?

Faced with Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord's doubts, Yang Shan smiled and said, "That's how geniuses are."

Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord slammed his fist on the table for the second time:

"Good! Kid, you're even more arrogant than those brats in my clan!"

Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord drank three mouthfuls of wine in a frenzy:

"Kid, your name is Yang Shan, right?"

Yang Shan: "It's me!"

Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord: "I believe that the name Yang Shan will surely resound throughout the Central Plains in the future. Since we are destined to meet, I will lend you another hand and forge a good relationship!"

With his hands behind his back, Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord slowly walked to the edge of the cliff.

Dark clouds thundered, mountain winds howled, and the Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord seemed to merge into the world.

"Fortune and misfortune are intertwined. I am giving you an opportunity, but do you have the courage to take the chance?"

[Ding! Player, please note that Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord has decided to forge a closer bond with you. If you accept, you will gain a significant amount of favorability from Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord, but this will consume 5 points of Good Fortune. If you refuse, you will still gain a certain amount of favorability from Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord.]

[Note: Given the extreme rarity of this opportunity, if you lack sufficient Good Fortune Points, the system can provide an Good Fortune payment without charging any interest. When you gain Good Fortune Points again, they will be used to make up for this shortfall first.]

Yang Shan smiled disdainfully to himself.

Not enough Good Fortune Points? Everyone on the server might not have enough, so how could Yang Shan not have enough?

Last time, I spent five points of Good Fortune to bring Yang Shan the "Lingering Spirit Hundred Howls" and subsequent opportunities and clues.

The potential of "The Lingering Spirit Hundred Howls" needs no further explanation.

This time it's another 5 points of Good Fortune, it definitely can't be worse than "The Lingering Spirit Hundred Howls"!

As his 5 points of Good Fortune decreased, Yang Shan stood up, clasped his hands in a fist and said, "Thank you for your guidance, senior!"

"I knew you would agree!"

Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord did not turn around, but his words seemed to come from Ba Fang, faintly blending with the sound of thunder and wind.

"Listen carefully, I still have an opportunity in the Northwest Continent, namely the Extreme Lightning Mystic Classic! Although it is a technique that I have already discarded, even Dou Zun would not lose face by using this technique!"

"I have placed the Inheritance Jade Slip of this technique in the very center of Black Moon Ridge in the Black-Corner Region. If you can get there and produce the Ghoul Lord Token, you can retrieve it!"

"The Extreme Lightning Mystic Classic!" Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord had said before he made his move that this was the cultivation technique he practiced in his current Four Star Dou Huang body! Even Dou Zun wouldn't lower his status.

At the very least, it should be Earth Rank Low-Level Technique with Golden Word Seal, right?

Just as Yang Shan was about to say something, Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord interrupted, "Shut up and listen to me! After you obtain the cultivation technique, you should cultivate diligently. In the future, go to Central Plains, take my Ghoul Lord Token, and find a force called Wind and Thunder Pavilion!"

After a moment's hesitation, Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord continued, "I won't be able to go to Central Plains for the time being. If you see that there are too many corrupt officials inside the Wind and Thunder Pavilion, please help me get rid of them while you're at it!"

Yang Shan sneered:

"Senior, I have heard that the Wind and Thunder Pavilion is one of the top ten forces in the Central Plains, but my strength is too weak."

"Bah! The top ten forces? Of course they are when I'm around! Fifty years ago, I learned from an old friend that the Wind and Thunder Pavilion now only has a handful of members left, with just one Dou Zun holding the fort."

Yang Shan suddenly realized. "Senior, could it be..."

Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord proudly declared, "That's right, the Wind and Thunder Pavilion was created by me on a whim 1,500 years ago!"

Yang Shan: "Junior pays respects to the Wind and Thunder Pavilion Old Ancestor!"

Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord: "Get lost! Don't mention that identity! It's utterly shameful!"

"I don't care what methods you use, as long as I return to Central Plains and the Wind and Thunder Pavilion improves, I will remember your great contribution!"

Yang Shan: "This junior will do my best!"

[Ding! Player, please note that you have accepted a special quest issued by Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord: Revitalize Wind and Thunder Pavilion! For detailed quest information, please check your quest list.]

Seeing that Yang Shan agreed, Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord turned around, but his figure began to become illusory.

"It seems the dream is about to end."

Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord seemed to have a lot more to say, but what he finally said was, "Another jar, please!"

"Please accept this drink, senior!"

The wine jar came flying, Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord casually pointed and stopped it.

Open the lid.

Til your head back and drink!

With each sip, the figure of Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord faded a little further.

"A thousand-year glance, a jar of wine for every day! Hahahaha, Yang Shan! Next time we meet, prepare more, for I love this Apricot Blossom Wine!"

Yang Shan smiled and said:

"Even if I have Heaven Rank Cultivation Method in my Storage Ring, I still need to make room for Apricot Blossom Wine!"

Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord's figure finally disappeared completely.

Yang Shan finally received the system notification:

[Ding! Player, please note that during this Heart Demon Trial, you have earned the appreciation and favor of Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord by 20. Since the "Ghoul Lord Remnant Soul Ghoul Lord Remnant Soul" has been retrieved by Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord, it will disappear from your list, and its favorability will be transferred to Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord. Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord's current favorability: 30!]

With strength surpassing even the Venerable Yao at his peak, Mystic Wrath Thunder Lord's 30 points of favorability are truly invaluable!

In terms of status and future development, she is second only to Xiao Xun'er, the Great Female Lead of the original work, and Zi Yan, an important character in the original work! Yang Shan's gaze returned to the cultivation room in the courtyard.

Player: Yang Shan

Name: Not yet determined

Rank: One Star Dou Huang

Soul Strength: Spirit Realm Middle Stage (71922/500000)

Total Soul Roots: 1370 Thunder Spirit Root: 50 Fire Spirit Root: 70 Wood Spirit Root: 1; Remaining Usable Roots: 29; Attribute Performance——

Constitution: 164; Bone Root: 410 Agility: 249 Meridians: 562; Comprehension: 73 Good Fortune: 62; Combat Performance —

Qi and Blood: 27090 (Purple) Attack: 2542 ("Golden; Rising" Character Imprint) Defense: 1988 (Gold)

Speed: 802 ("Golden; Rising" Character Imprint) Dou Qi Intensity: 762 (Gold) Total Dou Qi: 3610 (Purple) Yang Shan's smile was somewhat stiff.

I happily broke through to the Dou Emperor, but when I looked back, all the five-colored characters on my stats were gone! Who can blame me when Xiao Xun'er and Zi Yan's stats are already at the top level for their respective classes in the current version? Those Five-Colored Word Seal are really hard to maintain!

Each star upgrade requires a significant attribute boost, otherwise you'll fall behind.

Enraged, Yang Shan immediately shouted:

"Extraterrestrial Ghoul Lightning, give me some points!"

In an instant, Yang Shan's attack, speed, and Dou Qi Intensity —all three attributes—radiated a dazzling array of colors, a truly spectacular sight! The Heaven and Earth Oddities are truly amazing! Satisfied, Yang Shan turned his attention to the "Name" field.

There was a "Name" button in this section. After Yang Shan clicked it, the system immediately displayed a prompt:

[Ding! Player, please note that you are confirming your title. Please note that once confirmed, this title can only be changed after you break through to a higher realm, meet all the conditions for maintaining the title, and undergo a second confirmation by both the system and the Tianyao Official.]

[We suggest you use the suffix "Emperor" from your current rank as the title suffix, for example: Thunder Emperor, Blade Emperor. You can also choose your own name, but it must conform to the format of a "title". Note: It is forbidden to use content that violates laws or morals as a title. Please read the title-related content in the "Player Encyclopedia" for details.]

[Note: If you are no longer on the Heaven Ranking, your title will be temporarily frozen.]

In the Dou Qi Continent, a name carries extraordinary significance.

Many names also appear in the original work.

For example, "Pure Lotus Demon Saint", "Creation Saint", "Venerable Yao", "Medicine Emperor", and "Pill King".

These titles are mostly determined by the current level of the holder.

However, reaching a certain level does not mean that one can obtain a title.

Take Fan Lao, the sect leader of the Blood Sect in the Black-Corner Region, for example. Why isn't he called the "Blood Emperor"? Because he doesn't deserve it! Below the Dou Zun, those who possess titles are undoubtedly the top experts of their realm, recognized by a certain region! For instance, Gu He He's title of "Pill King" stems from two reasons: firstly, he was still Dou Wang at the time, and secondly, he was the number one Alchemist in the Jia Ma Empire! Han Feng's title of "Medicine Emperor" naturally originates from his status as the number one Alchemist in the Black-Corner Region, as well as his Nine Star Dou Huang at the time.

If there were a Seven-Rank Alchemist in the Black-Corner Region whose cultivation had reached the level of Dou Emperor, then the title of "Medicine Emperor" would not fall on Han Feng's head! Of course, everyone can give themselves a "title".

But this title is more like a nickname.

A "reputation" needs to be recognized by a considerable number of people!

It doesn't mean that reaching the Dou Wang will automatically grant you the title of "King".

Of course, after reaching the Dou Zun, one is already a true powerhouse in this world. Even One-Star Dou Zun can have a "title".

However, for players, to have a "title", they must enter the Heaven Ranking.

Perhaps more titles and qualifications will be available in the future.

But now, only he, Yang Shan! Only he, Yang Shan! Can have a title!

Yang Shan's expression was serious, and he entered the name he had in mind without hesitation:

Blade Sovereign!

"I'd like to see who dares to call me Yang One-Blade now!"

[Ding! Your title "Blade Sovereign" does not conflict with any existing titles in the Dou Qi Continent. You may use this title. Confirm?]

[Ding! Global Announcement! A cause for celebration! The Heaven Ranking player "Yang Shan" has earned a formidable reputation on the Dou Qi Continent, with numerous legends circulating throughout the land. All beings revere his name: The Blade Sovereign!]

Global Announcement doesn't necessarily mean there will be any attribute rewards.

However, Tian Yao Company's habit of pandering to players remains unchanged.

Look at this choice of words! Anyone who didn't know better would think Yang Shan had been deified! Yang Shan's desire to show off was greatly satisfied! Yang Shan subconsciously wanted to open the forum to see what was trending.

But after thinking about it, he decided it would be more appropriate to check tomorrow.

We need to get the players to discuss it more, create more trending posts, and then he can just look at the trending posts and popular replies!

However, all the employees sent their blessings in the group chat.

Su Yitang: "Wow, the boss has really become the Blade Sovereign!"

Chao Bafang: "The only player in the entire server with a title, no way, I have to brag about it on the forums!"

Zhu Tianpeng: "Brother Yang, please take me under your wing! I also want a title. I've already thought of one: Emperor Zhu!"

Little Yao Xi: "Brother Zhu doesn't seem to have reached the Dou Emperor yet. I saw in the Player Encyclopedia that you can't use the 'Huang' suffix. @Yang Shan, Handsome Uncle, you're really amazing. Many of my classmates know that you signed me, and they all call me Sister Xi now!"

Su Yitang: "Little Yao Xi, wow! Little Yao Xi, our boss is so popular that even you 50s kids are now famous?"

Little Yao Xi: "Of course! Many of my female classmates say that if they marry Handsome Uncle man who is also good at video games, they will definitely be very happy!"

Su Yitang: "."

Tie Yang: "Congratulations, President Yang, on your nomination! Blade Sovereign will surely become famous Dou Qi Continent!"

Yang Shan: "Haha, Old Man Tie Yang, you're being too serious."

Boss Yang casually sent out a red envelope containing 10,000 yuan!

Money talks! Su Yitang snatched 3200, but Little Yao Xi snatched even more, 4200!

Zhu Tianpeng: "Damn it! Why am I the one with the least again? What can you do with two hundred yuan?"

Chao Bafang: "You can go get a foot bath."

Tie Yang: "Thank you so much President Yang. President Yang generous!"

Yang Shan: "You guys keep chatting, I have something to do, I'll be leaving now."

Tie Yang: "@Yang Shan, President Yang, wait a moment. I have just mastered the ' Army Puppet Forging Method ' and can now begin repairing Ink Iron Marshal's durability!"

Yang Shan: "Old Man Tie Yang is awesome! I'll give you a bigger bonus at the end of the year. Where are you now? I'm coming to find you right away!"

Tie Yang: "I'm in the villa that the Mittel Family arranged for me and Yao Xi."

Yang Shan immediately set off, even using his Dou Qi Transformation Wings there! Ink Iron Marshal's durability is currently less than 400,000 points. To refine it again, at least Seventh Grade Refiner and a seventh-grade Array Inscriptionist would be needed to work together.

Who knows when that will be?

Ink Iron Marshal is one of Yang Shan's most important combat forces at this stage, and he must not be allowed to be damaged.

Yang Shan landed directly in the villa.

Little Yao Xi was sitting in front of the Cauldron, carefully placing two pills into Jade Bottle, then beckoning to Yang Shan:

"Handsome Uncle! Hello, hello!"

Tie Yang stood guard at the door:

"Oh! President Yang, I thought you would come through the main entrance."

Yang Shan noticed that there was also an elderly man next to Tie Yang.

The old man was quite strange; he was wearing a traditional China Daoist robe! Yang Shan asked, "Old Man Tie Yang, who is this?"

Tie Yang: "President Yang, he is the friend I mentioned to you last time, the one I've known since childhood, named Bai Su'an."

"Cough cough!"

Bai Su'an bowed to Yang Shan with his hands clasped in greeting.

"This humble Daoist greets President Yang."

Yang Shan: "."

Could it be that Old Master Bai Su'an, like Yi Qingyang, has adopted a special character persona while playing the game? Unexpectedly, Tie Yang introduced him as follows:

"This old fellow is forty years old and still unmarried. He went to Wudang Mountain to become a Daoist priest. His words and actions are a bit strange, but please don't take offense, President Yang."

Yang Shan's eyes lit up. "So you're a Daoist priest from Wudang Mountain!"

Bai Su'an waved his hands repeatedly. "Oh! I dare not accept such praise. My cultivation is meager; I can only be considered a minor Daoist priest."

Tie Yang simply kicked Bai Su'an: "Old man, stop spouting nonsense. Your godfather has gone to great lengths to arrange a way for you to make money, so hurry up and explain your family's situation!"

Bai Su'an's previous air of otherworldly elegance vanished instantly, replaced by the swagger of a butcher selling pork on the street. He leaped ten feet into the air and delivered a powerful kick to Tie Yang's head.

"Damn it! You dare to imitate Lu Fengxian son? Apologize to your adoptive father right now!"

Yang Shan: Uh

Little Yao Xi walked to Yang Shan's side and tugged at Yang Shan's pants:

"Handsome Uncle, you'll get used to it. My grandpa is usually quite serious, but when he gets together with Grandpa Bai, he starts acting all sorts of nonsense."

"Hmm"

Little Yao Xi thought for a moment and then said, "It seems that in Grandpa's generation, it was very common for close friends to call each other godfather or godson."

Yang Shan: "I see. Gentlemen, please stop arguing and let's get down to business."
