Urban God of War: The Live-in Son-in-law-Chapter 561 - 556 Can’t Find Brother Ye

Xiao Chuanqi and Sima Zhantian's faces stiffened; Shadow's chilling words stunned them in an instant.

Unable to help himself, Xiao Chuanqi said, "I mean, Shadow, everyone has the desire to improve, don't they? Why are you so certain that we can't make it into the top ten?"

Feeling somewhat unwilling to accept this, they found Shadow's words quite disheartening. Sima Zhantian felt the same and snorted coldly, "If I bring out my Immortal Blade, a single slash can slay a grandmaster of the Golden Core Realm. How could I not make it into the top ten?"

Indeed, Sima Zhantian was not boasting; as of now, his single slash truly possessed the might of a grandmaster of the Golden Core Realm, although it barely reached that level of power. Including Xiao Chuanqi, both were at least capable of launching attacks with the strength of a grandmaster of the Golden Core Realm.

It was then that Leng Wuming spoke in a low voice, "It's said that among those from the Great Powers who entered this time, there are six who were strong contenders on the previous genius ranking. They were already half-step Golden Core fighters able to battle Golden Core Realm grandmasters three years ago, not to mention the geniuses of the Great Powers from these past years, which seem to be quite numerous."

"You two don't really believe you're a match for them, do you? Don't forget that there's still our lord above us, surely occupying one of the spots."

"Moreover, do you know how many half-step Golden Cores there are combined from the Four Great Powers?"

"Close to eighty young warriors who are at the half-step Golden Core level, could the few of us really stand out among these eighty people?"

"So, you two should stop dreaming."

Leng Wuming mercilessly dashed their hopes without a hint of sentimentality, being very aware of his own capabilities. With nearly eighty young powerhouses from the Four Great Powers, including talents from the previous genius ranking, their strength, although commendable, would inevitably pale in comparison when contesting with the prodigies of the Four Great Powers.

Both Xiao Chuanqi and Sima Zhantian's faces turned rigid, their spirits dampened by the ruthless reality check, but they had to admit that what Leng Wuming and Shadow said was true.

"Zhantian, we better just mind our own business and mine. Let's not compare ourselves with those freaks," Xiao Chuanqi said with a face full of dejection. Despite his reluctance, he quietly moved aside, summoned his Immortal Sword, and began furiously digging into the ground.

The corner of Sima Zhantian's mouth twitched slightly, but he, too, came to terms with the situation. Mining spirit stones, it seemed, was what they were truly meant to do. As for cultivation, they could leave that for the last two days.

Seeing Xiao Chuanqi and Sima Zhantian act this way, Shadow and the others couldn't help but smile.

Shadow himself walked to the side and took out tools to start mining the spirit stone vein, at which point Leng Wuming approached.

"Shadow, are you really not going to cultivate and try for the Spirit Essence Pool?"

"You should know, you have the best chance among us," Leng Wuming whispered.

If Xiao Chuanqi and Sima Zhantian had overheard this, they would have been astounded. Shadow had the ability to contest for the Spirit Essence Pool?

Shadow looked at Leng Wuming, slightly surprised, a hint of panic flashing in his eyes, but he soon responded indifferently, "I don't know what you're talking about. With my abilities, how could I possibly challenge for the Spirit Essence Pool? Stop kidding around."

Continuously shaking his head, Shadow indicated his own incapability.

Leng Wuming fell silent for a moment, staring at Shadow, but soon shifted his gaze away with a slight sigh, "Well, then, let's all mine."

After saying that, Leng Wuming also found a spot and began digging into the ground.

Shadow watched Leng Wuming's retreating back with a complex expression but quickly resumed his usual cold demeanor, starting to mine for spirit stones on his own.

On Leng Wuming's part, he took another look at Shadow. He wasn't lying or making baseless claims – during these days of teaming up with Shadow, he could feel that Shadow indeed had the strength to vie for a spot at the Spirit Essence Pool. The half-hearted manner Shadow showed when facing alien beasts, despite appearing to fight strenuously alongside him each time, always left him with the sense that Shadow might be deliberately feigning his struggles.

Once, when they encountered an alien beast of the Golden Core Realm, it took a tremendous effort to bring it down working together. The final blow was struck by Shadow, with such overwhelming force that it made him shudder. At the moment, he had thought it was an illusion, but subsequent occurrences on their journey convinced him that Shadow was likely concealing his true strength. His real capabilities were probably already on par with a grandmaster of the Golden Core Realm!

That was why he had specially approached him earlier to ask, but since Shadow had said as much, it wouldn't be right for him to pry further. In any case, there was no doubt Shadow wouldn't do anything to harm them. If Shadow had truly wished to, he wouldn't be alive now.

"What am I thinking?"

Leng Wuming self-deprecatingly smiled, shook his head, and focused on mining the spirit stone vein.

Time slowly passed, and by the third day, they had almost exhausted their mining limit. Cao Tian, being at the Peak Martial King level, had mined only a little over a hundred spirit stones. However, with the combined efforts of Xiao Chuanqi, Sima Zhantian, and others, they managed to reach Cao Tian's maximum capacity.

At this point, the area around them was filled with numerous holes, each emitting rich bursts of Vital Energy.

Xiao Chuanqi looked at the surrounding pits and holes and couldn't help but grin. This time, everyone could return fully loaded with treasures. Each person had dug up five hundred spirit stones, a total of three thousand!

After setting aside the fifty for Xuanyuan Hall, there were still two thousand seven hundred left. The number of spirit stones was certainly a terrifying figure!

"With so many spirit stones, if we take them back to the Northern Border, it will definitely be enough for a long time."

Xiao Chuanqi's smile was brilliant, and the others were also very pleased. With so many spirit stones, how could they not be happy? This was a fortune as vast as the heavens.

When they had previously trained in the Outer Battlefield, they had fought hard for several days and had only managed to obtain a few spirit stones. In the Outer Battlefield, some alien beast nests and certain places would have scattered spirit stones, but not many. Finding them largely depended on luck,

yet in the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm, they had each dug up five hundred spirit stones in just three days, which was of course a very happy outcome.

"Alright, time is almost up. By now, everyone should have reached the stele. If I'm not mistaken, our lord may also have arrived there. Let's go now and meet up with our lord."

As Xiao Chuanqi spoke, the others also nodded in agreement.

It was nearing the end of the third day, and without much hesitation, everyone took to the air in unison, flying towards the center of the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm, where the stele was located. As for how to get there, they just needed to summon the old man with the White Beard to ask for directions.

The center of the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm was a vast Martial Arts Training Plaza, in the middle of which stood a dark and massive stele. The stele bore no inscriptions but was filled with an ancient aura and mysterious patterns.

The Martial Arts Training Plaza had already gathered quite a crowd, including people from the Four Great Powers, and still, more figures were flying in from all directions.

One by one, figures entered the Martial Arts Training Plaza, including Xiao Chuanqi and his group, who had also flown into the plaza. The six of them found a spot to wait while also observing the surrounding powerhouses.

Xiao Chuanqi noticed that many ordinary Half-Step Golden Core practitioners had come, and even Great Powers of the Divine Path Realm and Foundation Establishment Realm had all arrived.

"Why have so many people come? Aren't there only ten people with real strength?"

Xiao Chuanqi muttered, not understanding why so many people wanted to come here when, if they weren't looking for Ye Feng, they might not even have thought of coming here.

"To witness the strongest strike, naturally, many will gather to watch, and it's something everyone in the Outer Battlefield will pay attention to."

The voice of Chi Jark came from behind, and just behind the six, Chi Jark and Xiao Rulong casually walked up behind Xiao Chuanqi.

"Young Master Chi!"

Xiao Chuanqi hastened to greet him, aware that this figure was the Heaven's Proud Son of the Chi Family and seemed to have a quite good relationship with their lord.

Chi Jark waved his hand and smiled, "You don't need to address me as Young Master. Just call me Brother Chi."

He knew that these people were subordinates of Ye Feng, and their strength was at the Half-Step Golden Core Realm. Whether out of respect for Ye Feng or considering Xiao Chuanqi and the others' abilities, he had to show some courtesy.

Xiao Rulong glanced at Xiao Chuanqi and the others, half-expecting to see the figure of Ye Feng, but soon, he realized that he couldn't spot Ye Feng's shadow at all.

"Where has that guy Ye Feng run off to?"

Xiao Rulong asked, curious.

Xiao Chuanqi and the others also scanned around the Martial Arts Training Plaza but still couldn't find Ye Feng. Xiao Chuanqi said somewhat helplessly, "We don't know where our lord is right now; we can't contact him even with the Sound Transmission Jade Tablet, we thought he might have already come here, but we haven't found him."

Xiao Chuanqi and the others were puzzled, too. At first, they assumed Ye Feng would have arrived at the stele by now, but they hadn't seen him, and they had no idea where Ye Feng could be.

Chi Jark raised an eyebrow: "Can't find Brother Ye?"

"Now, only the last hour remains until the end of the third day. If he doesn't come soon, he might miss the Spirit Essence Pool."

Xiao Chuanqi and Sima Zhantian, along with the others, were getting anxious. They knew time was running out, but there was nothing they could do; no matter how they tried with the Sound Transmission Jade Tablet, they received no response.

While everyone was searching for Ye Feng, in a secret chamber within the Heavenly Origin Secret Realm,

Ye Feng sat cross-legged, surrounded by countless strands of Origin Energy, radiating a tremendous aura that was still climbing slowly.

The corners of Ye Feng's mouth were also adorned with a faint smile. Why the smile? Of course, it was because he was happy!

Three days had passed, and Ye Feng had been absorbing the pure Origin Energy in this secret chamber. With the catalyst of innumerable strands of Origin Energy, in just three days, Ye Feng had unblocked over a hundred acupoints. He had already opened more than two thousand six hundred acupoints and was currently pushing towards the threshold of two thousand seven hundred!
