Combat Emperor: Zhang Yu's Journey
Chapters... 3: Special Physical Condition
The news of Zhang Yu's return became the warm talk of the entire Qian Gu City.
The young man who had been rumored to have died a few years ago, suddenly returned and defeated Wen Xi who was a genius of the Wen Clan. Of course this is very surprising. Considering Zhang Yu was famous as a useless trash who could not cultivate.
While some people were busy talking about him, Zhang Yu stayed in the room while reading a book. The worn out book was brown with the inscription "Body Cultivation" on the front.
That handsome guy looked so serious. Because of the solid intention in him, he did not rub when his long hair covered half of his face.
However, after a long silence, he finally gave up and threw the book on the bed.
"Ck! Master only taught me the first part of the body cultivation technique. I thought I could study the second part independently, but who would have thought this would be difficult!" Zhang Yu was a little frustrated.
If others could cultivate by absorbing natural energy or cultivation pills. Zhang Yu is different. It was because Zhang Yu possessed the Ancient God Furnace Physique that he could only cultivate by absorbing the power energy from the spiritual beast core.
The people in Qian Gu City no one knew about the Ancient God Furnace Physique. Hence Zhang Yu was considered to be unable to cultivate and was branded as trash.
In fact, they just don't know how vast the world is. There are so many wonders that cannot be seen by the eyes.
It was fortunate for Zhang Yu to meet his teacher who then gave him the Body Cultivation Book. Although it was only teaching him the first part, it was enough to allow Zhang Yu to cultivate.
"That's it. For now I will focus on increasing my cultivation." Zhang Yu took out a purple-colored trigonal crystal from his storage ring. Of course it was not his real ring, but rather his teacher's gift ring. Similarly, the core of the spiritual beast also belongs to the teacher.
Zhang Yu took a cross-legged stance, fusing his hands with the spiritual beast core right between his palms.
One second later Zhang Yu's palm let out a stream of golden-colored light. The light rotated, then spread to the body and disappeared.
Simultaneously, Zhang Yu's body emitted an overflowing fluctuation of energy. As time goes on, the energy gets stronger.
Blam it!
Zhang Yu's closed eyes suddenly opened with a fluffy smile. The oriental-faced man licked his lips while looking at the palm that was filled with fragments of the spiritual beast core.
"Now I am at the level of a nine-star expert. One more step and I'll get into the master's level."
The cultivation level consists of seven levels. The most basic level is the beginner level. Then consecutively thereafter were the expert level, master level, grandmaster level, senior level, holy level and heavenly level.
Each of the tiers consisted of nine power stars. The one star was the first gate, while the nine star was the limiting gate to reach higher levels.
"Yu'er, are you inside?"
Zhang Yu raised his face staring at the door of the room. He rose while collecting the fragments of the spiritual beast core.
"What's up, Auntie? Is there a problem going on?" While opening the door Zhang Yu directly asked his aunt.
But Zhang Bing instead frowned both of his brows and looked at Zhang Yu in astonishment. "Didn't your father tell?"
Zhang Yu shook his head. "Since last night I was in the room. I never came or just knocked on the door. What's the matter, Auntie?"
Zhang Bing sighed. "Your father is very forgetful. Not too old but senile."
"This morning there is a clan meeting. All ...."
"Auntie, isn't that just a meeting? What is important?" I just finished the sentence too. Zhang Yu inched in a tangled manner getting a sharp look from the aunt.
He-he...
Zhang Yu only scratched the nape of the head that was not itchy. While Zhang Bing looked annoyed.
"This meeting is different. It could be said that this meeting is also related to the event of maturity. This morning we have the fifth prince. You need to hurry to the hall. Who knows if you'll have luck there."
"Fifth prince?" Zhang Yu narrowed his eyes and stared fixedly at the aunt.
Who does not know the fifth prince. He was one of the seven princes of the Xuan Empire.
Qian Gu City itself was the easternmost region of the Xuan Empire. It is also a backward city when compared to the other three cities. For a dozen years he had lived in Qian Gu City, never once had he heard of an imperial family member coming directly.
Although every year there will be emissary ministers who conduct supervision, it is only this time a prince came to visit.
"You're even dumb. Hurry to the hall or you'll be late!"
Zhang Yu gasped as Zhang Bing pinched his arm. He grimaced even though it was actually not sick. "Auntie, you haven't really changed."
"Are you going to waste time here? Go quickly!"
"Good! I'm leaving now."
"So new right," Zhang Bing said seeing Zhang Yu running out.
...
The Zhang Clan hall. Most of the clan members had gathered after knowing there would be a meeting. Especially when hearing if one of the candidates for the crown prince-the fifth-prince came to the residence and participated in the meeting.
"Dad, where is the fifth prince? Why hasn't he come to this moment?" Zhang Ying asked his father, Sixth Elder-Zhang Zhou.
"Dad doesn't know either. But it looks like it will be coming soon with the patriarch," Zhang Zhou replied.
"Ying'er, is this just dad's feeling or do you look so excited?"
Zhang Ying laughed softly. "Dad, who wouldn't be excited to meet the fifth prince? Besides the seventh prince, the fifth prince did not yet have a wife. Perhaps this was the fate of the fifth prince coming to Qian Gu City."
Zhang Zhou was stunned for a moment upon hearing his daughter's remark. He blinked twice and then cleared his throat. "The fifth prince did not have a wife. But you don't try to provoke him. The Zhang clan is too weak to offend the royal family."
"You take it easy, Dad. I can't possibly do something that would cause the Zhang Clan any harm."
Zhang Zhou nodded. "Dad believes you."
"D-ue ... Someone is coming. Quick look! Perhaps this time it was the fifth prince!" The people inside the hall became boisterous when the sound of footsteps came from the entrance hall.
One by one they turned their eyes to the hallway and assumed that the one who came was really the fifth prince.
But ... They really had to be disappointed because the one who came was not the fifth prince. Except for Zhang Yu who was casually walking towards the empty seating row.
Hem...
"Why is everyone staring at me?" muttered. Although Zhang Yu knew he was very handsome, but their gazes were a little exaggerated.
