Hell of the Strong
"Energy Artificer?!" Xia Fei was startled, curiously asking, "Energy Artificer and Artificer are two completely different professions. Can they be combined into one? Why do I find this name more and more strange the more I hear it? "
Oro revealed a profound smile as he excitedly said, "I've told you before that true cultivation isn't just about how high one's rank is. More importantly, it's about fusion! When a warrior fuses the power of law with their body, they'll become the spokesperson of the law, able to use it as they please.
"It's the same for Energy Artificers. To become such a person, one first needs to have a decent cultivation in both energy and forging, and then fuse the advantages of the two, finally forming a seamless connection between the two skills.
"Of course, that's very difficult. A person's energy is limited, and it's already very difficult to advance in both fields at the same time. To fuse the two into one, it requires constant cultivation and extremely high talent!"
Xia Fei was very surprised, anxiously asking, "Does that mean that Xia Honest is very powerful?"
"Extremely! I'm guessing that not only has he grasped the energy and forging skills, he's also a pretty good Law Warrior, a true master of all three disciplines! " Oro's eyes sparkled as he said, "Every clan hopes to have someone like Xia Laoshi in their ranks. The Skywing Clan truly has many talents. It's no wonder that such a small clan with so many people could produce so many top-notch elites. It turns out that they've been hiding such a formidable character!"
Lionheart Emperor Oro was very moved. The moment he saw Xia Honest, he could not help but think of his own Lionheart royalty. If his clan had such a character, then the already powerful Lionhearts would probably become unparalleled!
Xia Fei nodded, cupping his fist at Xia Honest. "Grandpa Honest, I presume that you're the legendary Energy Artificer? Xia Fei's eyes have truly been opened today, to be able to witness your glory … "
Since Xia Fei knew that Xia Laoshi was such an amazing top-notch character, he naturally had to do everything he could to establish a relationship with him. As for bootlicking, that was Xia Fei's specialty. He had silently elevated Xia Laoshi to the level of being the number one person in history.
Xia Honest was very pleased with himself. No one disliked being praised. Though Xia Honest was old, he actually had the mentality of a child, and a smile immediately blossomed on his face.
"It's not as exaggerated as you make it out to be, but becoming an Energy Artificer is truly difficult. Not just anyone can do it, and this old man has spent a lot of effort to get to where I am today." Honest Xia stroked his beard and smiled, "It's a pity. Although I'm an all-rounder in all three disciplines, it has also delayed my overall progress. I'm proficient in everything, but I'm not at the peak of everything. This is also the greatest regret of my life."
Xia Fei hurriedly said, "Grandpa Honest, you can't say that. I've heard that being able to fuse the two major systems together is the most difficult thing to do. Without exceptional talent, there's no way one can achieve great things. In my opinion, even the patriarch has nothing to brag about in front of you."
Xia Fei heartily laughed. "That's true. Xia Buyun still owes me more than four million, and he doesn't even dare to show his face. I'll definitely find him later to collect the debt!"
Xia Fei was speechless. Though Xia Honest was formidable, he was a bloodsucker through and through. Most likely, all the Law Emperors and Law Overlords of the Skywing Clan owed him a huge debt. It was no wonder that the mention of Towering Wind Pavilion and Xia Honest would cause these people to have such ugly expressions. It turned out that they had been oppressed by Xia Honest.
As the saying went, one's mouth was short of food, and one's hands were short of food. Owing such a large debt, even the mighty Family Family Head would not be able to raise his head in front of Xia Honest.
Xia Fei could not help but worry. Entering the Towering Wind Pavilion this time was tantamount to sending a sheep into a tiger's den. This old, unscrupulous merchant would probably skin him alive.
After the boot-licking technique, Xia Fei once again brought out his gift-giving technique. Sending gifts wherever he went had always been Xia Fei's principle, and he would never be careless about it. This was especially so for someone as awesome as Xia Honestly, who was hiding in the shadows.
"How can I accept this? You've just returned to Skywing, so logically speaking, this old man should be the one to give you a greeting gift. " Honest Xia grinned as he kept Xia Fei's gift into his spatial ring. He did not seem to be embarrassed at all.
With the inheritance of the Atlantean Race, Xia Fei's daily savings, and the local products he had brought from Earth, Xia Fei had quite a lot on hand. He gave Honest Xia a large batch of new toys, making the old man very happy.
Xia Fei suddenly said solemnly, "Grandpa Honest, you've worked hard. Honestly speaking, it's been hard on you to guard the Towering Wind Pavilion for the sake of the clan. If not for the clan, you would probably have entered the business world long ago, pursuing your own hobby, right? As a junior, I feel great admiration for your righteousness. "
This flattery was very good. Who did not know that the Skywing Clan had always been free and undisciplined, with many hobbies? Honest Xia was so fond of exploiting the warriors of the clan that he most likely wanted to become a merchant. It was just that he could not leave due to the heavy responsibility of teaching, which was why he had turned the Towering Wind Pavilion into a hotel to satisfy this little hobby of his.
Sure enough, the moment Xia Fei said this, Honest Xia was deeply moved.
"Xia Fei knows me best!" Honest Xia was inexplicably moved. "Haa! If not for the old ancestor's great trust in me, how could I have been willing to stay in the Towering Wind Pavilion and endure this hardship? I would have long since traveled the world and fulfilled my dream of building a business empire! "
The old demon lord was speechless. The Skywing Clan was a model example of not doing proper work. Honest Xia was a mighty Energy Artificer, yet he was only thinking about how to run a business. In the eyes of the Lionheart Royalty, who only knew how to cultivate, this kind of personality was an extreme anomaly.
Xia Fei thought about it and said, "I've truly troubled you, old man. In my opinion, an expert like you should at least go up there."
Honest Xia shook his head. "There's no need. I'm more needed here in the White Horse Constellation. Besides, it's not as easy up there as it is here, with the old ancestor overseeing things. I won't be of much use even if I go, so I might as well stay here and teach the younger generation of the clan."
…
Favors were a good thing. After noon, Honest Xia very affectionately pulled Xia Fei to the front yard, talking and laughing. Of course, this was just Honest Xia's attitude toward Xia Fei. He would not skimp on the money he should have received.
The group of children from the morning had already gone back, and the Towering Wind Pavilion had replaced them with a group of thirteen to fourteen-year-old youths. There were around fifty of them, and all of them appeared very spirited.
"This is the main force that the Towering Wind Pavilion is currently nurturing. Every one of them is very talented. In the future, there's a high chance that another batch of Law Emperors will emerge from this group of students, perhaps even Law Overlords!" Honest Xia was very pleased with himself. The moment these students heard their teacher's praise, they all raised their heads.
Xia Fei was slightly taken aback as he thought to himself, 'Wow, a batch of Law Emperor experts? Other clans' experts are judged by the number, but the Skywing Clan is judged by the batch! '
"Let's go. Come with me to take a look at these youngsters' homework. You'll first recover for today, and the special training will begin tomorrow," Honest Xia said.
Unlike the playful and relaxed cultivation of the children from the morning, these youths were undergoing a devil's training!
In the cultivation room, Honest Xia's attitude had suddenly changed. Like a demon wielding a whip, he constantly urged the students to undergo one harsh training after another.
His expression remained cold and stern, and if the students made even the slightest mistake, they would be scolded by Honest Xia or even beaten up!
Xia Fei and the old demon lord were both dumbfounded. Though Lionheart Emperor Oro called himself a great demon lord, he paled in comparison to Honest Xia. Honest Xia's harshness was simply unparalleled!
* Bang! *
A student was already so tired that his legs were wobbly, and his acceleration was somewhat out of sync. In the end, Honest Xia noticed this and kicked him, sending him flying into a corner of the room, his face contorted in pain!
"The experts of the Skywing Clan must bear the heavy responsibility of protecting the clan!" Honest Xia coldly scanned his surroundings as he sternly said, "With great power comes great responsibility! You are all the elites of the clan, the future pillars of Skywing! Protecting every member of the clan is a responsibility that you cannot shirk!
"I know that you're envious of those of your age who don't have to undergo such cruel training, able to play games and do what they like, but you must understand that the reason why they can live so easily is because there are countless experts protecting them!
"In the future, you will also become guardians. Without extraordinary ability, how can you protect your brothers and sisters who need you?! All of you, stand up straight! Today's training will be increased by three times! "
Xia Fei secretly swallowed. He could not help but worry that these youths would rebel from the pressure. After all, children of this age were the most rebellious.
Unexpectedly, these youths chose to endure it silently. There were no tears, and no one complained. They were so strong that it made one's heart palpitate!
The people of the world only knew that the Skywing Clan was free and undisciplined, but they overlooked the hardships and sweat behind their backs. Every elite warrior of the Skywing Clan had undergone such devilish training when they were young, which was why the Skywing Clan was where it was today.
"With great power comes great responsibility …" Xia Fei repeated Honest Xia's words, seemingly understanding something in his heart.
Honest Xia was harsh toward his students, but he was all smiles toward Xia Fei, even treating Xia Fei as a close friend.
"Our Skywing Clan isn't like other clans, forcing every member of the clan to put their lives on the line. We only force the elites of the clan, and those who aren't as talented can live very freely." Honest Xia explained, "The reason why the Skywing clan has been able to stand tall in the Law Realm without collapsing is that while the people of our clan are unreasonable, they are not fools. Secondly, it's because there are batch after batch of experts who have stepped forward to protect the Skywing clan."
Xia Fei nodded. He understood what Honest Xia meant. In the eyes of the strong, everyone was but an ant. Just like in the battle with the Moonshroud Clan, no matter how many ordinary warriors there were, they were just cannon fodder, unable to do anything.
The Skywing Clan saw this point, which was why they only nurtured the elites. In other clans, Law Emperors were already high and mighty existences, but the Skywing Clan started from the Law Emperor rank.
The Law Emperor rank was the starting point for the warriors of the Skywing Clan! This was undoubtedly a crazy model that could not be replicated!
Looking at Xia Fei, Honest Xia smiled. "Go and rest first. Starting tomorrow, you'll undergo training ten times, a hundred times harsher than theirs!"
