Gai Yue's Origins

Flender's words shocked everyone present. Leaving aside the revelation of a Seventy Thousand Year Level Torso Bone—

The fact that Gai Yue had single-handedly killed a Seventy Thousand Year Level Spirit Beast with Level 80 Spirit Power alone was enough to prove how formidable he was.

Under normal circumstances, Spirit Beasts of the same level were slightly stronger than Spirit Masters. A Seventy Thousand Year Level Spirit Beast would require at least an eight-ring Soul Douluo to have any chance of killing it alone.

Yet Gai Yue had managed to kill a Seventy Thousand Year Level Spirit Beast by himself with the strength of a quasi-Soul Douluo possessing only seven spirit rings. There was no longer any question of his strength.

Then there were Spirit Bones. Their rarity was such that they were scarcely seen once in several decades within the Spirit Master World. Even the lowest-grade thousand-year Spirit Bone—hundred-year Spirit Bones were too low-grade and were almost impossible to produce—could spark a bloody storm.

And Gai Yue had actually obtained a Seventy Thousand Year Level Torso Bone? With the addition of an Eighth Spirit Ring and a Seventy Thousand Year Level Torso Bone, just how far would Gai Yue's strength rise? Before this, Shao Xin and the others had merely believed Gai Yue had a great chance of breaking through to the Titled Douluo realm. But after hearing Flender's words, they felt certain that Gai Yue would reach the Titled Douluo level.

While Shao Xin and the others were thinking this, Zhao Wuji was the most excited and envious of them all. After all, only he and Flender knew that Gai Yue possessed another Ten Thousand Year Level Spirit Bone—a hereditary Spirit Bone from his family! Something incomparably rare in the Spirit Master World, and Gai Yue suddenly had two of them, one of which was even seventy thousand years old? Old Zhao had lived for nearly fifty years and had never received such treatment!

If Gai Yue had not been a good brother he acknowledged, Old Zhao might even have wanted to kill him and take his bones.

Of course, that was only a joke. The fact that Gai Yue had allowed Flender to reveal it, and had exposed his Spirit Bones before Flender and Zhao Wuji back then, showed his trust in them.

His lack of concealment now was not only because Gai Yue had enough confidence in his own strength, but also because he trusted his two elder brothers.

Of course, Flender and Zhao Wuji gathered with Gai Yue every few years, and Gai Yue had learned of Shao Xin and the others' character through them. That was why he still held this degree of trust in Shrek.

Even Oscar, a transmigrator, was extremely surprised. A teacher who had never appeared in the original work actually possessed such talent and luck?

Spirit Bones were not cabbages. Spirit Hall had so many Titled Douluo in the original work, but how many of them possessed Spirit Bones? Chrysanthemum Douluo in particular, one of Bibi Dong's two chief enforcers, was a Level 95 Super Douluo, yet he had not obtained a Spirit Bone.

If Oscar had previously only felt fortunate to have a teacher who could instruct him in the way of the sword, then now he was simply thrilled.

Leaving everything else aside, with his teacher's strength and talent, he would absolutely be able to cultivate to the Titled Douluo realm in the future. Wouldn't that make him a powerful backer? As for Ma Hongjun, there was no need to mention him. His teacher, Flender, was only Level 76 now and did not have any Spirit Bones. It was impossible to say just how envious he was of Oscar.

Faced with everyone's astonishment, Gai Yue merely smiled and waved his hand. However, his icy face did not look particularly good when he smiled, because it seemed somewhat forced.

Of course, it was not that Gai Yue was unattractive. On the contrary, he was rather handsome and delicate-looking. Though his Ice Blue robe was plain, it gave him a somewhat transcendent air.

Gai Yue smiled and said, "It's not worth mentioning. I was merely a little luckier than most."

Zhao Wuji's face darkened at those words. "Brother Gai, being this modest isn't right. How is this just good luck? I said back then that your talent would definitely surpass Flender's and mine. I just didn't expect that day to come so quickly!"

As Zhao Wuji spoke, helplessness appeared on his dark face. "I'm only Level 74 now, while you're already Level 82. You've completely left me behind."

Flender also smiled helplessly. "What can we do when Brother Gai is so gifted and works so diligently? It's normal that we can't compare."

Once Flender finished speaking, Zhao Wuji immediately raised his cup. "Come, let's drink to Brother Gai's great leap in strength!"

All the teachers raised their cups together, and Oscar and Ma Hongjun followed suit. Oscar also said, "Congratulations, Teacher!"

Oscar and Ma Hongjun were drinking alcohol as well. Though one was nine and the other seven, Spirit Masters developed much faster than ordinary people.

Moreover, it was merely ordinary malt beer, not particularly intoxicating. Thus, the two children raised their cups and drank deeply as well.

After the meal, everyone chatted for more than two hours. Gai Yue had only just joined Shrek, and aside from Flender and Zhao Wuji, even Oscar, his disciple, knew little about him. Thus, most of their conversation consisted of asking Gai Yue about his life.

It was through that conversation that Oscar learned his teacher's identity.

Gai Yue had been born into a major sect in the Star Luo Empire. However, several decades ago, his sect came into conflict with what was now the Wind Sword Sect. At that time, Gai Yue's sect happened to be in decline. Its sect master, Gai Lun—Gai Yue's Grandpa—was only Level 85, while the Wind Sword Sect's sect master was already Level 89, just one step away from becoming a Titled Douluo. Due to the immense gap in strength, Gai Yue's sect was destroyed in the conflict over the title of the second greatest Sword Martial Soul in the world.

Gai Yue was the only person in the entire sect to escape. He had even watched with his own eyes as his Grandpa stripped the sect's inherited Spirit Bone from his body and gave it to him. From then on, he cultivated bitterly alone, determined to avenge the sect.

His strength had now reached Level 82, but he had not impulsively sought revenge. He knew that even with his current strength, he could not possibly take down the entire Wind Sword Sect.

Moreover, the Wind Sword Sect was now one of the Lower Four Sects. Gai Yue had sharpened his sword for decades, naturally intending to strike a fatal blow. There was no way he would act rashly.

After all, the Wind Sword Sect did not even know he was still alive. He only needed to wait until he broke through to the Titled Douluo realm and truly possessed the strength to sweep through the Wind Sword Sect. Then he would wipe out the Wind Sword Sect and avenge his blood feud! Gai Yue was able to tell everyone of this experience now not because he had let it go, but because he used it to motivate himself.

Normally, no one would be willing to speak of such an experience. It was only because Flender had drunk too much and, wanting to use Gai Yue's story to inspire Oscar and Ma Hongjun, accidentally let it slip.

Gai Yue did not stop him midway, and only then did everyone learn of this part of Gai Yue's past.

Oscar gently patted the back of his teacher's hand and offered him a cup of wine. "Teacher, you're not alone anymore. You have us. As long as you need me, Oscar will never refuse!"

Those words came from Oscar's heart. He had not lived through the feud between Gai Yue and the Wind Sword Sect, and the Wind Sword Sect had done nothing to him. But they had exterminated nearly a thousand people from his teacher's sect, not even sparing the children.

Oscar found it cruel just hearing about it. Since he and Gai Yue were now master and disciple, he naturally wanted to avenge his teacher.

However, Gai Yue took Oscar's wine, drained it, and set the cup on the table. He smiled faintly. "Silly child, this is your teacher's personal family feud. What would it mean for a child like you to get involved?"

"I..."

Oscar wanted to say something more, but Gai Yue interrupted him. "Your task in the future is to fully master what I teach you. Your teacher will handle the matter of revenge himself."

Flender sighed at that moment and said to Oscar, "Xiao Ao, although you're Brother Gai's disciple now, it really would be difficult for you to interfere in this matter. Even when Old Zhao and I offered to help him back then, he refused without hesitation. Brother Gai has the same temperament as you. Once he decides on something, not even ten oxen can pull him back."

Hearing that, Oscar looked at the teacher he had only just acknowledged with a hint of heartache.

Noticing Oscar's concerned gaze, Gai Yue glanced at him and rubbed his little head. "Don't worry. Your teacher isn't impulsive. I've endured for so many years already, and I won't make a move until I have absolute strength. Otherwise, not only would I fail to avenge myself, I'd end up delivering Spirit Bones right to them."

At that last sentence, Ma Hongjun, who had nearly cried while listening to the story, suddenly burst out laughing. Teacher Gai might look cold, but he can tell jokes too.

Oscar could not help smiling either. "As long as Teacher has his own plans."
