Chapter 552: Chapter 551 Yang Fei’s Value
On a private island in the West, there lay a stronghold of the Smith family.
Nord Smith’s face darkened as he hung up the phone, his deep blue eyes flashing with two cold gleams, his malevolence piercing the sky.
His most beloved son, Will, had been dead for several months. According to the most reliable intelligence, Will had died at the hands of the former leader of the International Madman Organization, the Madman King, a young man known to the world as Boss Tang, whose real name was Yang Fei. On this recent venture deep into the heart of Japan, his own men and those allies from Japan had failed to capture him, an utterly worthless bunch.
Just now, he had called his allies in Japan, instructing them to hold the Divine Continent Martial World accountable for Yang Fei’s intrusion into Japan and his interference in the internal conflicts of the Japan Martial World, but his allies in Japan asked him to wait, saying the time was not yet ripe.
The time was not yet ripe, my ass.
Nord was well aware that the Japan Martial World had split into two factions, one pro-war, actively cooperating with Sky Net, and the other stuck in its ways, tasting so-called world peace.
According to the message from his allies, the Penglai Immortal Realm, the powerful backer behind Japan, was also experiencing severe internal strife.
According to his allies, it was only after the internal strife between Japan and the Penglai Immortal Realm was completely resolved that they could fully cooperate with Sky Net to deal with the Divine Continent.
Nord declared he could wait no longer.
Will was his most cherished son and among the younger generation of the Smith family, aside from that monstrous genius who was focused on cultivation and destined to stay in Heaven, Will was the one with the greatest cultivation talent. Since that monster would remain in Heaven and could not be the guardian of the family, Will was to be the real successor of the Smith family in the mortal world.
Yet now he was gone, his bones turned to ash.
This vengeance, he must take.
This matter concerned not only his prestige within the family but also the face of the entire Smith family.
He had originally thought that without having to personally intervene, that young man named Yang Fei would be caught up in the conflicts of the Japan Martial World and killed by the powerhouse of Japan. Now it seemed that outsiders were unreliable; only his own family members were truly dependable.
After a brief contemplation, Nord dialed a number.
It took a while before the phone was answered. An unexpected voice came through, "Uncle Nord, hello."
The voice belonged to a middle-aged man, steady and magnetic yet somewhat cool, suggesting that the relationship between him and Nord was not very cordial.
"Ganno, come back," Nord said, a trace of reluctance on his face, his tone filled with a hint of helplessness.
"Come back?" the voice on the phone expressed confusion.
"Yes, return to the Smith family. I will restore to you everything that was originally yours, and I can assure you that what I return to you will be many times more than what your father had during his time," Nord said.
Despite some reluctance, he increasingly recognized reality and accepted this idea that had recently occurred to him.
As the leader of a vast family, Nord had had many women and numerous offspring in his life, but Will had been the most outstanding.
As for the other offspring, although none were fools, none had the capability to take over the Smith family.
Only this nephew was still worth cultivating.
By the time he truly stepped down, this nephew would surely have grown into a towering tree.
At least, with Ganno’s talents, he might not necessarily do better than Will, but he would surely surpass himself.
Additionally, with that monstrous presence in the family, the future of the Smith family could only get better, the best choice for the moment.
Ganno on the other end of the line was silent for a long time.
He seemed not to have expected this uncle to suddenly call him, let alone to invite him to return to the Smith family and entrust him with its future.
"Ganno, I sincerely invite you to return to the family. There has been an incident at home, your cousin Will has died, and this matter has not been disclosed outside the family yet as it’s classified; you probably didn’t know yet?" Nord spoke with a heavy tone.
"What? Will is dead? What happened? Who did it?" Ganno’s voice carried urgency and concern, which pleased Nord.
Although he held prejudices against his uncle, Ganno, the child he had watched grow up, was inherently kind and had been very close to Will.
"Come back first. It has been many years since we last saw each other, uncle and nephew, and I’ve lost the son I loved deeply, which is very hard on me," Nord said.
The phone fell silent again, and after a moment, Ganno’s voice came through, "Alright."
After hanging up the phone, Nord’s eyes revealed a trace of relief.
At critical times, it’s still reliable to depend on one’s nephew, he thought.
He hadn’t misjudged Ganno; he was a man worth cultivating.
The family’s prodigy wasn’t someone Nord could readily dispatch, but since Ganno had a great relationship with Will, and Japan currently had no time to deal with Yang Fei, it would be up to the Smith family to handle it themselves.
Ganno was the person with the strongest cultivation talent in the Smith family, even before the rise of that prodigy. To have him take Yang Fei’s head would be a simple task.
...
Xu Family.
Inside Xu Yunshan’s room.
After assisting Xu Yunshan with the Six Harmonies Energy-Introducing Needle Technique, Xu Yunshan found during his cultivation practice that his efficiency had more than doubled, much to his astonishment.
This situation left him deeply shocked.
Although he had heard about the miraculous effects of the Six Harmonies Energy-Introducing Needle Technique from Xu Mao and Xu Xingzhou, it was only through experiencing it personally that he could truly understand its terrifying power.
However, as a unique-tier fighter who had been in this realm for many years, Xu Yunshan felt that his cultivation efficiency was higher under this state, yet he realized the increase was not very rapid.
His key issue wasn’t a lack of True Yuan stored within his body, but rather an insufficient understanding and realization of Heaven and Earth Power.
However, when Yang Fei analyzed the essence of Power Elements for him and explained how to open the Sea of Consciousness World and use nourishing Divine Soul Thought Power to perceive the Heaven and Earth Power, he suddenly opened the door to a new world.
In one night, Xu Yunshan succeeded in comprehending the mysteries of the Innate Realm and broke through into the Innate.
As the aura of the Innate Realm spilled out from the room, the people outside revealed expressions of excitement.
Especially Xu Liangyou and Xu Xiao, who were overjoyed.
It worked!
Could it really be done?
The eldest brother had successfully stepped into the Innate Realm; next would be the two of them. If they, too, could smoothly break through, from then on, the Xu family would have three Innates.
That’s so badass!
Zhu Tianshou had witnessed Yang Fei’s miraculous Medical Skill before but had not expected Yang Fei to be capable of such a feat—helping others quickly enhance their strength and even assisting in breaking through major Realms.
This was the Innate Realm, not merely the Inner Strength or Energy Transformation Stages.
Even helping someone step into the Energy Transformation Realm would be a miraculous method, but assisting someone into the Innate was divine skill defying the heavens!
With such methods, Yang Fei was a National Treasure in the Divine Continent Cultivation Realm, and all cultivators would seek to flatter and protect him.
Luo Yong and Wang Chengcuo, while shocked, felt extremely mixed emotions within.
As individuals who had once offended Yang Fei, they always harbored a sense of repulsion and wariness towards him. If Yang Fei had only been mighty, they wouldn’t have feared him.
But now, Yang Fei was not only formidable personally but also had a wife like Qin Yanyang.
Now, he was a miraculous individual capable of helping others breakthrough into higher realms. How could they continue to harbor dissatisfaction against Yang Fei?
Such a person, if they could establish a good relationship, could their own strengths be enhanced in the future?
Among their family members, were there not some talented youngsters whom Yang Fei could help guide to accelerate their growth?
This kid’s worth was too high!
He would definitely be able to boost the growth of many individuals in the future!
Not to mention the far future, just consider the current Xu Family. If Xu Liangyou and Xu Xiao also successfully stepped into the Innate, the Xu family would truly rise, no, soar, and reach the skies in one leap!
