Chapter 196: Chapter 198 Yao Wenyuan

Amidst the astonished gazes of the onlookers, Xiao Fuqi unexpectedly stood upright like a person, sprinted towards Wan Shen Python, grabbed the escaping creature into his hands. Despite its desperate struggle, the Wan Shen Python couldn’t break free from Xiao Fuqi’s strong grip.

"You may not believe it, but even though he only has the strength of a Martial Venerate Peak, his physical strength has already reached the Martial Saint Level. Against a Snake Clan that’s naturally restrained by him, he can even exhibit power beyond Martial Saint Level," said the young man carrying a longsword slowly.

"Wow, you are so knowledgeable; I love people with knowledge," a beautiful girl exclaimed loudly while looking at the young man.

"Hehe," the young man blushed, pretending to be nonchalant with an air of a master, deliberately not looking at the girl who spoke, yet secretly rejoicing in his heart, his previous efforts finally paying off today.

"Let me go," Wan Shen Python struggled continuously, only to find its strength gradually fading, feeling utterly weak.

"Daddy, this little snake is going to be unlucky," Benben whispered to Mu Can. In his eyes, the life force of Wan Shen Python was continuously draining away, all flowing into Xiao Fuqi’s body.

Mu Can couldn’t see this scene, but this didn’t prevent him from sensing Wan Shen Python’s weakening aura.

Xiao Fuqi brought Wan Shen Python up to his mouth and took a fierce inhale. A visible shadow slowly moved into Xiao Fuqi’s mouth. Meanwhile, Wan Shen Python’s head tilted, completely losing its breath. The lifeless Wan Shen Python slowly reverted back to its previous whip form, falling onto the ground. However, the liveliness from before was gone. Now the long whip seemed like an inanimate weapon; Xiao Fuqi stepped on it, and it shattered into pieces on the ground.

Cheering ensued among the crowd, the result of the battle went without saying. Mu Can hardly made a move; it was solely his beast pet that directly shattered the critical magic treasure of the third eldest.

After absorbing Wan Shen Python, Xiao Fuqi’s size slowly shrank, stumbling back to Mu Can’s side with unsteady steps, where he lay down and fell into a deep sleep. Mu Can knew that this was because he had absorbed all the essence of Wan Shen Python, even its soul, and was now digesting these energies. He patted Xiao Fuqi’s head and stored him inside the Reincarnation Pearl.

Looking at the third eldest lying on the ground like a dead dog, Mu Can lightly kicked him back into the camp of the Hidden Family.

A blatant slap on the face. Seeing Mu Can’s actions, fiery zones seemed to ignite in the eyes of the Hidden Family’s younger generation, intensely glaring at Mu Can.

"We won, we won." Unlike them, the side of Immortal Ancient Academy burst into cheers, long finding the undead creature displeasing as it abused its power with a Martial Saint level weapon on the stage, bullying their side.

"If you could injure the third eldest, you must not be a nobody. Would you dare to give your name?" a leading young man from the Hidden Family’s camp asked Mu Can.

"Even if you know my name, what of it? My name is Mu Can. In this Immortal Ancient Academy, you can’t run wild. Where is Donghuang? Tell him to get out here," Mu Can said disdainfully, his appearance today meant to disrupt their order, so why would he stop after just injuring the third eldest? His target today was Donghuang.

"Mu Can, is that Mu Can? Wasn’t it said that he was already crippled?"

"Yes, I remember now, Mu Can had already made a name for himself in Immortal Ancient Academy four years ago, but then he disappeared mysteriously; some said that it was Donghuang’s doing."

"This Donghuang is really despicable, he must have secretly harmed Mu Can."

Many people present had heard of the legend of Mu Can, but had never actually seen him.

"No wonder Donghuang can’t stop thinking about him. Indeed, a true hero." The young leader whispered, having heard Donghuang mention Mu Can before, but only seeing him for the first time today.

"I wonder if Brother Can would come over for a chat. I, Yao Wenbing, love to make friends with heroes from all over. I’ve prepared some drinks here, how about we have a hearty drink together?"

"Different paths do not make plans together. You are too close to Donghuang, we are not on the same moral ground, there’s no need to drink at the same table." Mu Can said coldly, spotting a hint of wariness and jealousy in Yao Wenbing’s eyes. Even though he acted generously, Mu Can wouldn’t get too close to such people, who were no different from Donghuang, all petty and despicable.

"Donghuang is not here, so let me exchange a few moves with Brother Can," Yao Wenbing, seeing Mu Can not giving him any face in front of everyone, a murderous look flashed in his eyes as he gestured towards Mu Can for an invite.

"Couldn’t ask for more." Being able to dampen the spirit of these Hidden Families would definitely aid the negotiations for the Immortal Ancient Academy.

Yao Wenbing leaped and steadily landed on the arena. It has to be said, this young man who was leading the younger generation of the Hidden Family looked top-notch in both looks and demeanor.

"This sword, three feet and three point three inches long, forged from Purple Star essence, mixed with ten-thousand-year-old cold iron and Meteor Fire Crystal, has Ice and Fire Dual Attributes. It’s a Holy Artifact named Purple Star Ice and Fire Sword, ranking among the top ten weapons in Mortal World."

With a thought from Yao Wenbing, the Longsword carried on his back slowly came out and hovered stably in front of him. He reached out with a hand as tender as a lady’s to grasp the sword.

With the sword in hand, the previously breezy demeanor of Yao Wenbing instantly changed; he became sharp, just like the Longsword in his hand, standing there as if he could pierce the heavens.

"Hehe, big brother is serious, third brother, don’t worry, he will definitely avenge you."

"Yes, it’s been many years since big brother drew his sword."

Third brother had already been fed the healing Spirit Pill. His injuries were not fatal and were slowly recovering under the effects of the Spirit Pill. He was now watching Mu Can in the arena with a resentful face.

Mu Can had long felt third brother’s gaze but didn’t take it seriously at all. Had he not been concerned about ruining the big negotiation for Immortal Ancient Academy, he would have casually killed third brother long ago – a dead eunuch whose body wasn’t even intact, hardly worth mentioning.

"I got my first sword at the age of five, and have practiced the Sword Dao for over twenty years. With a sword in hand, the world is in my hands." Yao Wenbing, holding his Longsword, slowly floated in the air, drifting as if he were a Sword Immortal.

"With just you?" Mu Can scoffed. If he hadn’t seen Sword Venerate before, he might have respected Yao Wenbing, but with Sword Venerate’s example set before, Yao Wenbing now seemed like a child forcibly holding a sword in Mu Can’s eyes.

"Ridiculous."
