Chapter 1630 - 1595: Change in the Ancient Clan

The Ancient Clan has now split into four tribes: the Heavenly Dragon Clan, Wind Eagle Clan, White Elephant Clan, and Flying Leopard Clan.

Each of these four tribes takes one of the Four Beasts Evolution Techniques as its core.

The people from the Ancient Clan who stayed behind in the Nolan Ancient City are the Wind Eagle Clan.

The Divine Beast Totems of three out of the four beasts—Heavenly Dragon, White Elephant, and Flying Leopard—have all been lost, leaving only the Wind Eagle Totem intact.

As the young man and the young woman walked, they whispered about a certain matter, and given Yang Xiao's Divine Sense, he could clearly hear every word.

"Young master, the eldest miss of the Heavenly Dragon Clan, Gu Yezhi, is here with their Great Elder. She looked quite serious, not as enthusiastic as three years ago."

"What's strange about that? People change as they grow up."

"Hmph, I've heard Gu Yezhi has been admitted to the Snow Wolf Clan's cultivation academy on the condition that she marries the son of a Vice Leader from the Blood Wolf Clan."

"Don't talk about things without evidence."

"Young master, how can you say I'm talking nonsense? Everyone says so, yet you remain calm."

...

Ten minutes later, the young man and the young woman arrived at an ancient architectural complex at the center of Nolan Ancient City, guarded by a team of guards.

When these guards saw the young man, they bowed their heads:

"Hello, young master!"

The young man nodded and walked into the courtyard.

Knowing he couldn't enter through the main entrance, Yang Xiao quickly slipped past the courtyard gate to the back wall. He glanced around, found no one, and swiftly flew into the courtyard.

The courtyard was very large, featuring dozens of various buildings and a tranquil, ancient environment.

Yang Xiao passed through several buildings until he reached the central courtyard, where he saw dozens of people standing in front of a house, seemingly watching something.

Yang Xiao quietly moved behind the crowd, blending in, barely catching a glimpse of the scene in the hall through the doorway.

A very beautiful girl, with an air of cold arrogance, sat quietly in the guest seat.

Beside the girl sat an elderly man.

The young man from the bookstore sat across from the girl, accompanied by two middle-aged men.

In the host seat was a formidable-looking middle-aged man.

The middle-aged man lifted his teacup and addressed the girl and elderly man:

"Gai Cheng, Yezi, you have not visited Nolan Ancient City for three years. It's been a tiring journey; please have some tea."

Yezi sat upright in her chair, turned slightly towards the middle-aged man, and nodded slightly.

The elderly man beside her chuckled, took a sip of tea, and said:

"Guluo, how have you at the Wind Eagle Clan been these past years?"

"Mm, thank you for your concern. We are all well. Gai Cheng, what brings you and Yezi here today?"

Gai Cheng put down his teacup, nodded, glanced at the young man opposite, and asked:

"Has Gai Shaoying made progress in his Genetic Evolution in the past three years?"

The young man referred to as Gai Shaoying looked a bit embarrassed, stood up, bowed, and said:

"Ashamed indeed, progress has been slow these past three years."

Gai Cheng then said:

"Shaoying, could you and Yezi have a match here on the spot?"

Guluo and Gai Shaoying, among others, all looked startled, casting glances at Gai Cheng and Yezi.

Yezi said coldly:

"Brother Shaoying is a genius of the younger generation in the Wind Eagle Clan. Surely he isn't afraid of losing to me?"

The young man Shaoying finally couldn't resist the girl's challenge and said:

"Yezi, don't think you became impressive just because you trained at the Blood Wolf Clan for three years. Challenge me if you dare; I'm not afraid of you.

Let's go outside."

After speaking, the young man Shaoying got up and headed outside.

Guluo wanted to stop his son but finally shook his head hopelessly, got up, and followed him out.

In the courtyard, a hundred people waited for Shaoying and Yezi's confrontation.

Yang Xiao stood among the crowd, listening to their private discussions.

"That Yezi doesn't have good intentions. She's trained at the Blood Wolf Clan academy for three years, and her Genetic Evolution speed is very quick. Naturally, our young master can't compete with her."

"Three years ago, our young master had a complication while cultivating the Wind Eagle Divine Skill. He has been recuperating for three years without any progress in Genetic Evolution. How could he be a match for Yezi?"

"Judging by the eldest miss of the Heavenly Dragon Clan's attitude, it's obvious she looks down on our young master."

"I heard she's already got involved with a Deputy Commander's son from the Blood Wolf Clan."

...

As Genetic Evolvers, it's common to spar with each other.

Guluo glanced at his son, said indifferently:

"Shaoying, Yezi wishes to spar with you, so keep it to a friendly match and be careful."

Yezi immediately said:

"Don't worry, Uncle Luo. I won't hurt him. Let's begin, Shaoying."

Shaoying, feeling irritated, said coldly:

"You can go all out; I don't need your concession."

He roared furiously, then quickly charged at the girl.

The girl sneered coldly, remained motionless, and with a wave of her right hand, a Wind Blade instantly slashed at the young man.

The young man quickly dodged the Wind Blade, but he didn't anticipate the girl to immediately launch two more palms, sending two Wind Blades consecutively at him.

The young man roared in anger, opened his arms wide,

"Boom!"

A massive surge of attack aura erupted.

The two attack auras collided together with a dull "bang" sound, the young man's body shook, and he retreated three steps.

His face flushed, the young man shouted fiercely, charged at the girl, his fists striking like lightning with twenty-eight punches.

This is the Wind Cannon Thunder Fist of the Wind Eagle Clan.

The rumbling sound echoed, space violently fluctuated, and over twenty fist marks rushed at Yezi.

Yezi sneered, drew a semicircle with her hands in front, then pushed forcefully,

"Boom!"

A Giant Dragon burst forth, roaring as it charged at the young man.

Yang Xiao was taken aback; this move seemed familiar, like the one that Long Jing used to transform aura into a dragon back on Witch Star!

The girl in front of him seemed to be only sixteen or seventeen years old, yet at the Empire Level Primary Level Realm, she could already transform aura into a dragon—a truly impressive feat.

"Boom!"

With a tremendous crash, the young man's body was jolted, flew backward over ten meters, and crashed onto the ground, vomiting a mouthful of fresh blood.

An oppressive silence filled the scene, and the clansmen of the Wind Eagle Clan felt utterly embarrassed, hanging their heads low.

Yezi arrogantly scanned the crowd and said:

"Your Wind Eagle Clan still has the blessing of the Divine Beast Totem. We, the Heavenly Dragon Clan, have no such blessing. Theoretically, Gai Shaoying's Genetic Evolution should surpass mine; he's even a year older than me, yet to think he crumbled so easily.

Gai Shaoying, you have disappointed me greatly. I came here this time to inform you personally: our engagement is canceled. I, Gu Yezhi, will not marry a man weaker than me."

"Buzz!"

The minds of the hundreds present buzzed with shock.

All along, Yezi had come to annul the engagement, which was a significant blow to the Wind Eagle Clan's prestige.
