Chiyou looked at Lang Feng's calm demeanor and recalled the strength Lang Feng had displayed against his brothers earlier. A cold sweat broke out on his body. He knew that if he charged forward like that, he would have no chance of winning.
Chiyou, being a ten-year-old child, still had a competitive spirit. He hardened his heart and shouted to his two brothers, "Second brother, third brother, use Wind Rises Cloud Surges!"
Chiyi and Chitong, standing nearby, were both startled by their elder brother's command. Wind Rises Cloud Surges was a technique their father had strictly warned them never to use unless they were in mortal danger. This martial art was a self-destructive technique that inflicted as much harm on the user as on the enemy; even if they defeated and killed the enemy, they would need half a year to recover. However, thinking about how they had been toyed with by the person called Lang Feng just now, they felt a surge of anger. They had never suffered such humiliation before. Their hearts hardened: You little brat, don't blame us brothers for using ruthless methods!
The three of them advanced towards Lang Feng. Chiyi and Chitong leaped to Lang Feng's sides, and all three simultaneously threw punches, shouting, "Wind!"
Lang Feng was initially pleased to see the three attacking. But suddenly, all three of them were using the same move. Strangely, the power of these three moves wasn't great, yet the three opposite him had serious expressions, as if this were an extremely powerful technique. What was going on? While thinking this, he casually broke the move. It was very easy, and he felt a bit disappointed in the three brothers. These three guys aren't that impressive!
Chiyou saw Lang Feng's dismissive look and let out a cold laugh. Enjoy it for now, you'll be crying soon. He retracted his hands, and the True Qi from the previous move returned to his body. It flowed through his meridians, combining with the True Qi of his current move, and was sent towards Lang Feng. The three shouted, "Rise!"
Lang Feng watched the three brothers throw another punch at him, seemingly in pain. Yes, it was the same move, the same three brothers, but the power was different.
The punch hadn't arrived, but the force had. The surrounding air felt much heavier, and the power was easily double that of before. Lang Feng dared not be careless. He lowered his stance, inhaled, and punched, unleashing nearly eighty percent of his Innate True Qi. The punch Qi of the Chiyou brothers merged into one, and the two streams of punch Qi collided with a mighty impact. Both Lang Feng and the Chiyou brothers were forced back three large steps.
The Chiyou brothers felt a pang of bitterness in their hearts. They hadn't expected this kid to be so powerful. Their strength could only unleash two moves without consequence. If it continued like this, the three of them would really have to go home and lie down for half a year. But now, they were in too deep and, driven by youthful pride, the three of them went all out.
The Chiyou brothers' hands moved along strange trajectories, and they suddenly retracted their moves. A significant amount of True Qi from the previous punch returned to their bodies.
The Chiyou brothers endured immense pain throughout their bodies. The tearing sensation in their meridians couldn't stop them. All of this was for the sake of—winning. The Chiyou brothers rapidly unleashed their unbearable True Qi towards Lang Feng, simultaneously shouting, "Cloud!"
Lang Feng looked at the punch before him and gave a wry smile. This is getting interesting. The power of this punch was at least double that of the second one. He wanted to retreat, but he was at the center of their combined attacks and couldn't retreat. Helplessly, he could only shout, gathering all his strength, and focused it on his right fist, punching forward fiercely. After the punch, he felt completely drained.
These four guys are getting more and more exciting. Wow, they're all good prospects. If they join my Tianxin Sect, won't my Tianxin Sect become even stronger? These four are getting out of hand. Are those three brothers trying to kill themselves by using such moves against someone? No, if this continues, they'll be going home to lie down.
My feet shifted, and I instantly appeared in the center of their attack, my hands spread wide. Under the main control of my Golden Core, my True Primordial Energy formed a vortex. Those two seemingly powerful punches were easily absorbed into my body, without any impact on my internal True Primordial Energy. They were too weak; after being converted into True Primordial Energy, they were almost negligible to me. I could absorb them from outside my body in a single breath.
The Chiyou brothers knew that the backlash of True Qi would follow. They were already injured, and another backlash would likely send them to their beds. They wanted to escape, but there was no time, nor was there any internal energy left.
Just as these three brothers, who had just emerged into the world and encountered great misfortune, awaited the impending disaster, their vision suddenly blurred. When their vision cleared, a boy, who seemed even younger than them, was standing at the center of their previous attack. The punch Qi had vanished as if it had never existed.
Chiyou looked at the boy before him. The boy was smiling at the three of them. He didn't feel the person before him was just a child. He sensed a refined and elegant aura from him, an aura of looking down on the world, yes, an immortal-like aura. Although he had never seen an immortal, he believed that if immortals existed, they would be like the person before him. A thought suddenly struck him. He immediately knelt down and said sincerely, "I implore you to take me, Chiyou, as your disciple!"
Chiyi and Chitong, standing beside him, heard their elder brother's words. They had just witnessed the boy effortlessly break their killing move and were filled with admiration and worship. Hearing their elder brother's plea, they finally reacted and immediately knelt down, saying, "We implore you to take us, Chiyi (Chitong), as your disciples."
I looked at these three brothers. They're really smart. As soon as they saw me display my supreme martial arts, they wanted to become my disciples. Actually, I had already thought of taking them as disciples, but if I accepted them so easily, it would be too embarrassing for me, the true number one expert in the world. Accepting disciples so easily.
Brother Lang Feng saw these three guys wanting to become his second brother's disciples and chuckled inwardly. These three guys are really smart. They immediately recognized my second brother as a supreme master and knelt down to ask to be his disciple. I have to teach them a lesson. Otherwise, it'll be too easy for them.
Lang Feng walked forward, looked at the three brothers, and said slowly, "It's not impossible for you three to become my second brother's disciples, but your actions just now made me very unhappy!"
The Chiyou brothers heard this and remembered that the person they had just struggled against was their master's elder brother. (This master was someone they considered their master.) To become a disciple, they first had to satisfy their master's elder brother.
"I'm sorry, we brothers were blind and did not recognize your greatness, offending you, esteemed martial uncle. We hope you will be magnanimous and not hold it against us juniors." Chiyou immediately said, while the other two showed fawning smiles.
Brother Lang Feng hadn't truly been immersed in the corrupting influences of society yet and hadn't received such flattery. With just a few words from the Chiyou brothers, he was completely overwhelmed. He immediately smiled, and the idea of teaching the three brothers a lesson vanished. He looked at these three youngsters with increasing fondness. Since these three youngsters respected him so much, how could he not help them?
Brother Lang Feng immediately walked up to me, smiling, and said, "Second brother, look at these three boys. Their martial arts are very good, their aptitude is exceptional, and most importantly, they know how to respect their elders! This is much better than your eldest disciple, Li Da. Take them as your disciples!"
When I heard this, I thought of my eldest disciple, Li Da. That kid Li Da was indeed becoming more and more outrageous. Only when he saw me did he show some restraint; towards others, he acted like a rogue, which made me, his master, lose a lot of face. I must discipline him properly when I get back, otherwise, it will be very embarrassing when I encounter outsiders in the future.
Looking at Brother Lang Feng's pleading expression, and then turning to look at the Chiyou brothers' sincere desire to become disciples, it seemed they would surely be better than Li Da in the future. Fine, I won't make things difficult for them. They are talented individuals in martial arts anyway.
I looked at them and said faintly, "If you join my sect, the first rule is that you must not reveal our sect's secrets to outsiders. Second, you must not betray the sect, or you will be killed without mercy. Do you hear me? Do you still want to become my disciples?"
Chiyou heard this and thought, Isn't this too easy? Who would be foolish enough to tell others after learning supreme martial arts? Betray the sect? Why would I betray such a good sect? He immediately said, "Your disciple Chiyou greets Master."
Chiyi and Chitong beside him were startled by the "killed without mercy" in the words. After a while, they recovered. These two rules were not useless to them. Hearing that their most respected elder brother had already become a disciple, they immediately kowtowed and said, "Your disciple Chiyi (Chitong) greets Master."
I looked at these three fellows and smiled faintly, saying, "Alright, alright, you three are now disciples of my Tianxin Sect. Now, come with me to see the National Martial Academy!"
The three brothers said in unison, "Yes." They immediately stood up and ran to my side, not daring to step ahead of me.
Seeing their reserved demeanor, I smiled. Although it showed their respect for me, this was not the outcome I wanted. I looked at them and said:
"From now on, don't be like this. I don't want to attract attention. I'm just here to look around this academy. Act as you normally would, just consider me your friend."
"Yes, Master." The three of them understood immediately. Three big boys calling a small boy Master would make it hard not to attract attention.
"Let's go in and take a look." I led the way towards the martial arts holy land of the Azure Dragon Continent. The four big boys behind me also walked into the National Martial Academy with a bit of excitement.
