“How can this be…” Mi Shen’s eyes trembled, he simply could not believe his
own ears.
He absolutely trusted the judgment of the highest officer of the Wind Media Department. If the other party were to confirm the loss of the few ladies, then it surely meant that Elder Xu Sheng was about to make a breakthrough into the Fierce Realm in a very short time.
But how could this be! Mi Shen was greatly shocked. Not only was he the young clan leader of the Mi Clan, he was also a representative figure of the Mortal Realm martial artists of the Mi Family and one of the proud talents of Xiling.
He knew very well how difficult it was for one in the Mortal Realm to accumulate Spiritual Power and break through into the Fierce Realm. It required three times the time taken to peak for the Mortal Realm, which was an enormous amount of Spiritual Power accumulation. If the other party could achieve this at a young age of twenty, then the martial artists from wealthy families who could reach the peak of the Mortal Realm in their twenties could be considered prodigies.
“Is the gap really this big….” His eyes, brilliant as stars, had never been so dim. Mi Shen felt a strong sense of powerlessness deep inside. At this moment his knowledge of martial arts was being challenged in an unprecedented way. He thought of himself as being extraordinarily talented, but he felt as if he was nothing compared to the saintly young master.
What was even more despairing was that if the saintly family could make Elder Xu Sheng break through to the Fierce Realm at a young age of twenty, this would mean they had a way to accelerate the cultivation in the Mortal Realm. This further means that they had a large number of martial artists in the Fierce Realm, which made them almost insignificant to these old families who desperately sought for strong practitioners in the King Realm.
The young man’s despair was noticed by the exquisitely dressed lady. However, she did not say a word, but instead observed him with interest.
Finally, Mi Shen took a deep breath to recover his spirits and said, “Since the wager of the great clans is destined to be lost, we should prepare even further. However, I didn’t anticipate this change and will need to report back to the clan for collective ideas.”
He had been busy with the administration of the new city for the past half year. The entire team of strategists who were previously in his residence had been dispatched to the new city to assume important roles. This big reaction of the clans required some brilliant strategies by the wisest in the clan.
The lady looked at the spirited young man and joked, “To think that the young clan leader could still reignite his fighting spirit, I’m in awe!”
“Heh,” Mi Shen smiled bitterly: “Does knowing our doom prevents us from living? With such a huge difference, I’ll have to galvanize the effort of the whole clan to catch up desperately. I only hope it’s not too late.
After Mi Chu was defeated in the ring, he began to practice diligently. He had now even replaced sleep with training. If he knew that his opponent was about to break through into the Fierce Realm soon, he wondered whether he would lose his will to win or not.
“Heeheehee….” The lady suddenly laughed so hard her body shook, as if there was something extremely amusing about Mi Shen’s words.
Suddenly seeing the difference between the saintly family and the aristocratic clans had already upset Mi Shen. Moreover, to be laughed at openly like this, even with his level of self-restraint, took great effort to control his temper. He asked in a cold voice, “Does the Directorate find my words amusing?” Hearing this, the lady, who had a sophisticated makeup on, coyly covered her mouth with a hand and with her thin, jade-like fingers, waving them back and forth towards Mi Shen with a smile, she said, “I dare not mock the young clan leader. I just found the way you scare yourself funny.”
“What is the meaning of this?” Mi Shen’s eyes were filled with coldness. If the woman in front of him could not provide a satisfactory answer, even if she was the Director of the Wind Media Department of the Mi Clan, he would not let her off easy.
Seeing the young master in front of her was getting impatient, the lady pouted: “The young clan leader, you are so intimidating. You really scared me.
The woman in front of him may be mature, but she was just in her thirties, at the peak of her beauty, like ripe, juicy peach.
Her suggestive glances paired with her enchanting eyes could make one desire her intensely. Even when confronted with such beauty, Mi Shen maintained his cold demeanor, although the cold light in his eyes intensified.
As one who aspires to become the supreme leader of a clan, if one cannot see past mere earthly desires, then don’t even think about reigning supreme in Xiling!
Since childhood, Mi Shen had always held himself to the standards of a clan leader. He was convinced of one truth: If he thought like a noble clan leader, allocated his time like a noble clan leader, looked at issues and people from the perspective of a noble clan leader, and analyzed pros and cons like a noble clan leader, then one day he would become a noble clan leader.
This kind of strict personal standard had made him the young clan leader of the Mi Clan, and the known figure in Xiling.
In the current conversation, he was not only representing himself, but also the future of the Mi Clan. Though the lady could tease Mi Shen, she could not ridicule the young clan leader of the Mi Clan. If she could not justify her words, even with the title of Director of the Wind Media Department, he would teach her a lesson to make her learn about respect!
The woman looked at Mi Shen who was getting more serious, brushed off all her coquettish manners in an instance as if she was a different person from the one who was just joking around. Even her voice became remarkably calm, “Elder Xu Sheng’s ability to reach the Fierce Realm cultivation so early was not due to the Xu Sheng Clan discovering a way to speed up the cultivation in the Mortal Realm, but because he awakened a special bloodline power.
“Bloodline?” Mi Shen frowned, “From what I know, although a bloodline can indeed speed up cultivation in the Mortal Realm, it’s impossible to break through to the Fierce Realm at the age of twenty. Those martial artists with bloodlines, even if they are of amazing talent and dedicated to training, most of them break through to the Fierce Realm after the age of thirty-five regardless of their bloodline.”
Every time the Wancheng Treasure Ship of the Tang and Mi Families returned, it brought back a large number of books. These books of varied interest greatly broadened the vision of the Tang and Mi Clans, and maybe for other martial artists, the esoteric bloodlines are the secrets of the two clans. Even a long time ago, the two families began to study how to actively awaken bloodlines and conducted many experiments. However, so far, no results had been achieved. Based on his understanding, there was no bloodline in the world that could make one break through to the Fierce Realm in their twenties, not even those of the Earth Level.
“The young clan leader is right, there is no bloodline that can accelerate to this extent.” The lady first agreed with his statement, then added, “But the bloodline of Elder Xu Sheng is different from ordinary people.”
“Since he entered the city, he has been spending nights in the brothels without any exceptions. Initially, it was thought he was simply indulging himself in the pleasures of the city after being restrained for a long time in the Xu Sheng s Clan. However, later signs indicate that this was not the case.
“Every night he has eight women from the brothel to accompany him. Regardless of their looks, young or old, beautiful or ugly, he treated each of them tenderly. Every woman who spent the night with him reached the height of their ecstasy. But after spending the night, he would disregard them. Even if they begged for another night, he would refuse.”
Mi Shen frowned, “So what? Men are naturally attracted to novelty and bored with familiarity. These are just prostitutes from brothels. They could not have expected to develop feelings for him.
