Emperor’s Domination

.”

 Suoweng let out a forced smile.
He didn’t know if the guy was praising or criticizing Divine Black.

“Don’t worry, it’s not hard for me to control this sword.
And, it might be a patrimony sword that’s a little bit better than scrap metal, but not by much.
I’m not interested in it.
The most I’ll do is just play with it for a little bit.
I won’t take it away from Divine Black so feel free to keep on learning.
It’ll be more useful in your possession in the future.” Li Qiye nonchalantly said.

Suoweng felt so much better after this conversation and left even though Li Qiye didn’t wish to go to South Conch.

The disciples in Jade Bird noticed their sect master leaving by himself.
They assumed that Li Qiye would be going to South Conch for sure. 

“Why is he still staying in Jade Bird?” They quietly discussed among themselves.

Even a fool knew which to pick between Jade Bird and South Conch.
That’s why Li Qiye’s choice came as a surprise.

The next move from Li Qiye confused them even more.
He went to the library and picked another manual – Chaos Mantra.

“He’s a Bronze Tendon now.” More started gossiping.

Normally, no one would talk about someone reaching the Bronze Tendon realm.
There were thousands of disciples stronger than Li Qiye.

However, he was the son of miracles and performed insane feats despite being an Iron Skin.
Thus, his cultivation improvement was a big deal. 

Some started wondering when he would reach the Silver Carapace realm.
The disciples here enjoyed talking about him right now.
Even the protectors and elders chatted on this topic.

This annoyed Zhan Hu to no end.
Recently, he had just become an enlightened being, the third youngest to do so behind Gong Qianyue and Huang Ning.
He would be considered a genius anywhere in West King.

Thus, people should be talking about him, not Li Qiye and his Bronze Tendon realm.

The previous humiliation of being stomped by Li Qiye destroyed his reputation.
He tried his best to breakthrough afterward in order to regain his pride.

He wanted to use power to solidify his status as a genius, to become the well-respected First Brother again.
Unfortunately, his wish wasn’t granted.

“Li! I swear, only one of us will exist one day!” He gritted his teeth; his eyes flashed fiercely.

***

Another thing people were talking about was the Chaos Mantra since Li Qiye picked it.
Everyone became curious instead of mocking him.

They have seen what he did with Tortoise Fist.
The children from Liu Village and Lu Daowei all accomplished it as well, proving the technique’s might.

A while ago, some elders started looking over Tortoise Fist again.
They found that there was more to it than meet the eye.
Chaos Mantra became the next thing under scrutiny.
