Skywing Bloodline
Furball had always been viewed by Xia Fei as a cunning fellow. He liked to steal and eat things when Xia Fei was not paying attention. As long as it was something rich in energy, he would even chew on it a few times, even if it was just a piece of metal.
Unfortunately, though Furball was a glutton, he was not very good at hiding his tracks. He was scolded by Xia Fei every time he was discovered, and every time that happened, Furball would use his cuteness skills, licking and rubbing against Xia Fei with a pair of pitiful eyes, just like a child who had done something wrong. Even Xia Fei, who had always been known for being ruthless, could not bear to actually hit him.
However, Furball would not change even after Xia Fei let him go, continuing to wreak havoc and then trying to curry favor with Xia Fei, who would then let him go again.
Just like that, life went on and on. Compared to the kind and innocent little robot Dou Dou, Furball was definitely the model of craftiness, and today, when Xia Fei was threatened by Yujiang, Furball finally revealed the savage side of his personality!
It was as if he had gone mad, all of his snow-white fur standing on end! From afar, he looked like a large porcupine that had gone berserk!
His two eyes were bloodshot, and flames of rage were spewing out from his eyes!
A low whimper came from his mouth, and the roar of a giant steel beast shook the eardrums and hearts! It was as if the entire warship was shaking from Furball's low growl!
It was hard to imagine that Furball's basketball-sized body could actually let out such a heart-palpitating roar!
Yujiang knitted his eyebrows. He was absolutely unwilling to make an enemy of a Shatterstar beast. Though Furball was still very young, Yujiang knew very well that this seemingly lazy Holy Beast was actually extremely bloodthirsty and vengeful. Once it became an enemy, it would not rest until one of them was dead! As long as Furball was alive, there would come a day when he would bite Yujiang's throat in revenge!
The Shatterstar Beast was a fierce and stubborn creature. Any expert would carefully consider whether or not it was worth it to make an enemy out of a Shatterstar Beast. Once the battle started, unless one side died, there would never be a day when the battle would stop!
Xia Fei and Furball had already formed a contract, and their minds were connected. He ordered Furball to calm down. Getting into a conflict with Yujiang was not a wise choice, and Xia Fei did not want to do it unless he had no other choice.
In the past, Furball had always obeyed Xia Fei's orders, but it was clearly different today. Furball was intensely resisting Xia Fei's orders, almost to the point where he could no longer control its behavior.
Xia Fei was not only shocked by Furball's inner rage, but he was also quite touched. This was the legendary exotic beast protecting its master. When Xia Fei was threatened, Furball displayed the fury and savagery that a top-class exotic beast should have!
It was no wonder Furball was his most loyal combat partner!
Xia Fei turned his head and stared at Yujiang, not saying a single word.
Yujiang was very powerful, but that did not mean that Xia Fei was afraid of him. This was not because Xia Fei was blindly arrogant but because he had an innate resistance to pressure. The more Yujiang suppressed Xia Fei, the stronger Xia Fei's retaliation would be, and it was completely instinctive.
Yujiang was very curious. He was curious that Xia Fei was actually able to withstand his weight.
Suddenly, a crafty glint flashed in his murky eyes, as if he had suddenly understood something.
Yujiang let out a hearty laugh, and that massive black hole disappeared. Xia Fei returned to the Impaler, his body regaining its freedom.
The robot Lil Pea and the exotic beast Furball quickly leaped into Xia Fei's arms. Xia Fei suddenly realized that Lil Pea was also very angry, glaring at Yujiang with its electronic eyes. Unfortunately, Lil Pea did not have any combat ability, and the only thing it could do was use its body to shield Xia Fei, ready to sacrifice its life for its master at any moment.
Yuhua finally let out a sigh of relief. He had clearly seen Furball's anger toward Yujiang, and a Shatterstar beast going berserk was a serious threat to any expert. He was so shocked that he broke out in a cold sweat.
Yujiang's laughter eased the tense atmosphere a little, but Xia Fei and Furball had no intention of letting their guard down.
"Xia Fei, I'll give you three years to settle your own matters. After that, you'll leave the Alliance with me and cultivate the Three Great Laws. Are you willing to do that?" Yujiang asked with a smile.
Xia Fei was slightly taken aback. Of course, cultivating the Three Great Laws was exactly what Xia Fei wanted. What Yujiang had demonstrated earlier had greatly moved Xia Fei. It turned out that a true expert was not someone who only knew how to fight and kill. Being able to make a battleship vanish into thin air with just a wave of their hand was something that completely surpassed Xia Fei's understanding of martial arts.
"I was just testing your reaction to the pressure earlier, and I didn't think that you would actually be able to withstand it. It's truly a waste for someone with such talent to not cultivate the Three Great Laws. I, Yujiang, sincerely invite you to join us," Yujiang very sincerely said.
Reject?
Xia Fei very quickly dispelled that thought. Only a fool would reject the opportunity to cultivate the Three Great Laws. Moreover, would Yujiang do something disadvantageous to him if he rejected him? Xia Fei could not figure this out.
Nodding, Xia Fei softly said, "Alright. It's a promise, senior."
"Aren't you going to ask me where I'm taking you?"
Xia Fei shook his head. "There's no need. To me, as long as there's a chance to learn the Three Great Laws, it's a good place."
Yujiang waved his finger, leaving a transparent ball of light in the air. The ball was about the size of a ping pong ball, and from the outside, one could see the threads of energy slowly flowing within it.
"In three years, I'll send someone to pick you up. There's a small gift that I've left for you in this ball of light. You can take a look at it after I leave," Yujiang said with a smile.
…
It was still that floating continent in space, and it was still that pier by the river.
Yujiang and Yuhua returned through a spatial gate. Yuhua was somewhat unhappy, for Xia Fei was the one who had recommended him, yet he had unappreciatively rejected the patriarch's offer. On the other hand, old man Yujiang did not seem to be dissatisfied at all. Instead, he had a light smile on his face.
"Patriarch, Yuhua has made a mistake this time. I originally thought that a sly person like Xia Fei would know how to be flexible, but who would have thought that he would be so stubborn?" Yuhua respectfully bowed.
Yujiang waved his hand disapprovingly as he picked up his fishing rod and threw the hook into the river.
"This isn't your fault. He has the Skywing bloodline, so it's very normal for him to have such a reaction. I didn't expect it from the start, either, which is why I used force to force him, but he ended up rebutting me instead."
Yuhua's eyes widened as he exclaimed, "You're saying that Xia Fei is a descendant of a Skywing warrior? How is that possible? Logically speaking, there's no reason for a descendant of a Skywing warrior to appear in the tiny Pan-Human Alliance, right? After all, the Skywing bloodline is considered a top-notch inheritance even in our circle! "
Yujiang smiled. "Skywings are a speed ability bloodline, and cultivating it to the limit is akin to growing a pair of wings on one's back. One can fly across the galaxy, laugh proudly at the nineteen heavens, descend into the primal chaos, and reach the twenty-sixth layer of Nirvana Hellfire. It's known as the number one speed ability bloodline since ancient times!
"Before, you said that you found a unique aura on Xia Fei, and it's because he has the Skywing bloodline."
Yuhua was stunned as he asked in confusion, "The Skywing bloodline is very unique. Why didn't I sense it?"
Yujiang mysteriously answered, "Xia Fei's bloodline has already mutated. When I exerted pressure on him, Xia Fei suddenly displayed an intense rebellious mentality. It's only then that I was able to sense a hint of the Skywing bloodline. It would be strange if you could sense it with your cultivation."
Yuhua replied, "The Skywing bloodline is something that can only be discovered by luck, let alone a mutated bloodline. Allow me to congratulate you in advance for finding such a powerful disciple, but why would a Skywing warrior come to Pan-human Alliance territory and leave behind a bloodline? Do you need me to investigate this matter for you? "
Yujiang shook his head. "There's no need. The inheritors of the Skywing bloodline are all lunatics who don't play by the rules. They're capable of doing anything. If Xia Fei's background is the secret of those old lunatics, what should we do? Don't pry into other people's private affairs. That way, our Yu family will always be able to stand in the most advantageous position. In our circle, knowing too much isn't necessarily a good thing. "
Yuhua was enlightened. "Thank you for your advice, patriarch. Yuhua nearly committed a taboo, but there's still something I don't understand. Since Xia Fei has the Skywing bloodline, why did you set a three-year agreement with him? Wouldn't it be bad if those lunatics from the Skywing clan came knocking on our door asking for him? Their family is famous for being unreasonable and protective of their own. "
Yujiang laughed very happily. "Yuhua, where did your usual cleverness go? You can't even figure this out? Genetic mutation isn't always a good thing. Because of this mutation, Xia Fei has practically lost all the characteristics of his Skywing bloodline. Unless he explodes in anger, no one will be able to tell him apart. It's a little risky for us to take him in, but you saw that Shatterstar beast today. How did he perform? "
Yuhua still had some lingering fear. "That young Shatterstar beast's desire to kill was simply chilling. Truth be told, even my back was drenched in cold sweat. If that holy beast were to go on a rampage and fight for its life, that would truly be a disaster."
Yujiang's eyes gleamed as he happily said, "Not bad. To have such a strong desire to fight at such a young age, that Shatterstar beast's future will be limitless once it matures! That's why it's worth it for us to take this little risk. Besides, we don't even know what Xia Fei's bloodline is. Even if the Skywing clan finds out, we'll just return him to them, and it'll be a small favor. Who knows, we might even be able to get on good terms with that famous clan. "
"Xia Fei's seventh brain region is already severely damaged, and he's destined to be a cripple for the rest of his life. If he can understand the patriarch's good intentions, he'll surely be grateful to you," Yuhua flattered.
As he spoke, the colorful float on the fishing line suddenly sank as if a fish had taken the bait. Yujiang hurriedly lifted the fishing rod in his hand, and a lively golden fish was tossed onto the grass by the river.
"Haha! There's fresh fish soup for us to drink tonight. Why don't you stay and accompany me?" Seeing how excited Yujiang was, how was he like a super expert who had been in a high position for a long time? He was no different from an ordinary old man.
Yuhua nodded. All of a sudden, he recalled the energy ball that Yujiang had left behind before he left, so he asked, "Patriarch, just what was the final gift you gave Xia Fei?"
