Volume 1: The Decline of the Yue Family Chapter 64: Soul Attack (First Update)

  Yue Cheng sized up the speaker, and Sima Yanran had just quietly introduced all the people in the hall to him. He knew that the speaker was the second elder of the Sima family, and it seemed that this second elder must have some connection with the Liang family.

  "I am a student of Dou Qi Academy." For a moment, Yue Cheng really couldn't think of a more impressive identity, and suddenly remembered that he was now also a student of Dou Qi Academy. This title was at least more impressive than the Yue family name.

  "Dou Qi Academy." Sima Changping and the others' faces all changed, Dou Qi Academy's reputation was indeed very great, even in the Twin Seas, there were not many people who didn't know about Dou Qi Academy. But when Liang Yu heard that Yue Cheng was actually a student of Dou Qi Academy, his expression didn't change much, this was the Twin Seas after all, and Left Star Island was also under the control of the Three Gates Two Families, it wasn't time for Dou Qi Academy's people to come and cause trouble.

  "Joke, what's the big deal about the Dou Qi Academy? This is the Double Child Sea, can you even match up to Yan Ran?" Liang Yu gazed coldly at Yue Cheng, his eyes revealing a murderous intent without any concealment. From the aura emanating from Yue Cheng, he couldn't tell how high his cultivation was.

  "What about the Dou Qi Academy, this is Zuo Xing Island." The Second Elder's face also changed slightly as he spoke to Yue Cheng, his words seemingly directed at Sima Changping, implying that this was Zuo Xing Island, within the sphere of influence of the Ling Jing Sect.

  "You're Liang Yu, aren't you? It's not your turn to interfere in my affairs with Yanran." Yue Cheng gazed coldly at Liang Yu. Normally, he wouldn't dare to provoke someone from the three major families, but things were different now. Having obtained Sima Yanran's Wanyan Xuan Gang and taken advantage of her, he had to do something for her in return. Moreover, this was happening in the Sima household, where Liang family members couldn't do anything to him. Once the Alchemy Master Competition ended, he would leave immediately, and no matter how powerful the Liang family was on Zuo Xing Island, they wouldn't be able to touch him.

  "It's fine, no one has ever dared to speak to me like that before." Liang Yu's facial muscles began to twist, a hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes, and a dark aura shot towards Yue Cheng from between his eyebrows. It was a soul attack, the most toxic move of an alchemist, and it seemed he wanted to kill Yue Cheng on the spot. Even a 10-star Dou Ling master would find it hard to withstand the soul attack of a 4th-grade alchemist.

  "Soul attack, seeking death." Yue Cheng's expression changed, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes. He was afraid of everything, but the one thing he didn't fear was soul attacks.

  Yue Cheng quickly formed a hand seal, and a green light flashed on his brow. A powerful green light rapidly approached Liang Yu. Yue Cheng didn't hold back either, intentionally wanting to teach Liang Yu a lesson.

  Seeing Liang Yu's opponent was a soul attack, Sima Changping's face changed color. On the Sima family's turf, saying move meant moving, this was also too disrespectful to the Sima family. Moreover, Yue Cheng was after all a friend of Sima Yanran's, if something unexpected happened it wouldn't be good. Just as he was about to intervene, he saw Sima Yanran subtly signaling him to stop, so he halted his action. However, in his heart, he became suspicious - Liang Yu was only a 4th rank alchemist, yet his soul attack could even surpass a 10-star Dou Ling, could this kid be the Dou Wang?

  Seeing Liang Yu's first move was a soul attack, Sima Yanran, who was also an alchemist, didn't worry at all. She had already tested Yue Cheng's soul power and it definitely wouldn't be weaker than Liang Yu's.

  "With a 'hiss' sound, the two streams of soul power collided in mid-air, and immediately Yue Cheng's body slightly retreated backwards. The 4th-grade alchemist's soul was much stronger than Huang Ke Liang's soul, his mind reeled dizzily for a moment, but he quickly recovered."

  With a loud "bang", Liang Yuke was sent flying several meters away by Yue Cheng's powerful soul force, his face pale and a trickle of blood at the corner of his mouth. A sharp pain shot through his mind as he struggled to comprehend how his usually reliable soul attack had backfired today.

  "Master." The Liang family thought that Yue Cheng was done for, as the master's soul attack was a calculated move. However, they suddenly saw their own master's body being violently knocked flying away, and quickly rushed over with changed expressions.

  Watching Yue Cheng defeat Liang Yu with one move, even Sima Yanran was slightly surprised. She had thought that Yue Cheng was just evenly matched with Liang Yu, but she didn't expect Yue Cheng's soul force to be so strong. Soul force represented the alchemist's cultivation strength, which meant that Yue Cheng was above Liang Yu.

  "He is also a fourth-grade alchemist." Looking at the scene in front of him, Sima Changping and the Grand Elder were also stunned. They did not expect that the black-robed youth who had privately agreed to marry Yanran was also a fourth-grade alchemist, and his cultivation and strength were even above those of Liang Yu.

  "He's a few years younger than Liang Yu, and seems to be one or two years younger than Yan Ran as well. Yan Ran has always had high standards, and it looks like her judgment is indeed good." Sima Changping thought to himself, looking at Yue Cheng's appearance which was also outstandingly handsome, and seemed to match Yan Ran very well. He was also a fourth-grade alchemist, and with time, his prospects were boundless. The Douqi Academy was indeed famous for a reason.

  "Cough" Liang Yu was helped up by Liang Hanwen, and another mouthful of fresh blood flowed out. His eyes stared blankly at Yue Cheng, seemingly unable to believe the outcome would be this way. The person lying on the ground shouldn't be him, but rather his opponent.

  "You dare to hurt my young master!" After checking that Liang Yu's injuries were not serious, Liang Hanwen turned around and stared at Yue Cheng, his eyes flashing with a murderous intent.

  "Are your eyes bad? It was obviously him who ambushed me, serves him right." Yue Cheng retorted, this is the Sima household after all, Yue Cheng wasn't worried that the other would make a move.

  "Not bad, but just now it was Young Master Liang who launched a sneak attack on my son-in-law. This can't be blamed on others." Sima Changping walked to the side of Yue Cheng, gazing at Liang Hanwen. After Yue Cheng displayed his cultivation and strength, Sima Changping knew what he had to do.

  It's inevitable that allying with the Liang family will be detrimental to the Sima family, but now his daughter has found a good son-in-law for herself. He can't possibly disagree with this. If Yue Cheng were just an expert in spiritual combat, even if he were a top-notch expert, he would still have some reservations. But Yue Cheng is actually a fourth-grade alchemist, and his cultivation and abilities are even higher than Liang Yu's. This changes everything. What the Sima family lacks right now is a young alchemist who can participate in the Alchemists' Grand Competition.

  "My son-in-law." Yue Cheng and Sima Yanran were both surprised to see Sima Changping agree so easily.

  "Head of the Sima clan, I advise you to think carefully about this." Liang Hanwen's face changed slightly. He had originally thought that the Sima family would agree to an alliance with the Liang family due to the Alchemist Grand Prix, and then the Liang family could slowly absorb the Sima family's wealth and power. But he hadn't expected a wild card like Cheng Yaojin to appear out of nowhere.

  "Yes, let's consider it, Patriarch." The Second Elder also whispered to Sima Changping.

  Simachangping gave Erlao a cold look, Erlao's intention he couldn't understand, being stared at by Simachangping's cold eyes, Erlao immediately shut his mouth and didn't dare to speak again.

  "I don't need to consider anything else, you can leave." Sima Changping said to Liang Hanwen, a four-product alchemist with unlimited prospects.

  "We're leaving." Since the host had given the order to leave, Leung Hon-man didn't see any point in staying behind either. Before walking out the door, he couldn't help but glare fiercely at Yue Cheng. If it weren't for this kid intervening today, the marriage between the Sima and Leung families would have been settled.

  Everything was ruined by this kid, a fourth-grade alchemist. If possible, let him stay at the level of a fourth-grade alchemist forever.

  "Your name is Yue Cheng, right? Come up and sit down quickly. Yan Ran, what's wrong with you, having someone you like but not telling your father about it." said Sima Changping to Yue Cheng and Sima Yanran after the Liang family left.

  "Father, I..." Sima Yanran didn't know how to respond to her father for a moment. She couldn't just tell him that Yue Cheng was someone she had asked to pretend to be her fiancé, after all.

  "Uncle, Yanran was afraid you wouldn't agree with us being together, so she didn't dare tell you." Yu Cheng sat up on the seat where the Liang family had just been sitting, looking at Sima Yanran who couldn't explain herself, and could only speak out again to help her out.

  "I don't object to your affair, how about getting married after the Alchemist Grand Prix is over?" Sima Changping smiled at Yue Cheng.

  Yue Cheng couldn't see the intention in Sima Changping's heart, and next this guy should be asking him to help the Sima family participate in the Alchemist Grand Prix. He didn't have any objections in his heart, anyway this was something he had already agreed to with Sima Yanran. He pretended to be delighted and said: "Thank you, Uncle."

  "Hmm" Sima Changping nodded slightly and said: "However, before that you have to help the Sima family with something first."

  "Father, Yue Cheng has already agreed to represent the Sima family in the Alchemist Grand Prix." Sima Yanran naturally knew what her father wanted to say.

  "Really?" Sima Changping looked at Sima Yanran and then looked at Yue Cheng again, originally he was too embarrassed to know how to bring it up with Yue Cheng.

  Yue Cheng had long known what Sima Changping wanted to say, and said, "Well, anyway I will be staying in the Gemini Sea for a few months. Since I can help my uncle out, I naturally won't refuse and will do my best."

  "Good, good." Sima Changping said a few more "goods", thinking to himself that his daughter had not been born in vain and had finally landed him a golden son-in-law.

  After the excitement, Sima Changping said to Yue Cheng: "In three months, it will be the Alchemist Grand Prix. What preparations do you need? I'll take care of everything else for you."

  "Thanks a lot for yesterday's reward from Da Kong Zero Brothers, it warmed my heart, haha."

  Regarding the update issue, brothers please bear with it for two more days. Recently, I've been constantly looking for deficiencies in the work and thinking hard about the next plot to make sure brothers are satisfied.

  "I'll explode, I will, definitely will."
