"Eh, he actually leveled up?!"
"He's a Level Seven Martial King now, right?"
In Central City, beside a pond in a nursing home, the old monk who was watching the real-time projection on the water screen raised his eyebrows. He could not help but become interested.
"He didn't cultivate, didn't consume any rare treasures, and didn't go through any so-called life and death experiences. He just killed a few half-step Demon Emperors, and he actually leveled up just like that. This is quite interesting!"
After saying that, the old monk turned his head and looked at the slightly chubby old man beside him. He teased, "Old Li, don't you find this scene very familiar? Aren't you going to say something to me?"
Old Li looked at the old monk in annoyance. "What do you want me to say? This is also my first time seeing this kid. I can tell you for sure that he's not related to me at all. "
"Is that so?" The old monk's face was full of disbelief. "Then how are you going to explain why you find him so pleasing to the eye, and why he has a special physique that's similar to yours, or even exactly the same?"
"What special physique? I have said it eight hundred times. That's a special ability, a special ability that's branded in the bloodline since birth!"
Old Li retorted softly, "As for why this Yang Fan also has this special ability that can absorb the remaining energy in a Demon Beast's body for his own use, I'm not his father. How would I know?!"
"However, the human population base is so huge. There are countless martial artists who have awakened special abilities. If one or two of them are the same, would it be strange?"
"Then why are you so anxious?" The old monk was unperturbed. "Did I say that he's your illegitimate son or grandson?"
Old Li snorted coldly. He did not answer the old monk's question. This baldy was very nosy.
However, Old Li was still extremely surprised that Yang Fan could awaken this Northern Darkness special ability.
Because for more than a hundred years, other than one of his grandchildren who had successfully inherited and awakened this special ability, he had never seen a second person with this special ability.
Oh, the name 'Northern Darkness special ability' was the name that Old Li gave this special ability.
His inspiration came from a special technique in a classic martial arts novel from before the Cataclysm. It could forcibly absorb other people's inner energy for one's own use, which was very similar to the characteristics of their innate supernatural powers.
It had to be said that this Yang Fan was really surprising.
If it was not for the fact that Old Man Li did not sense any trace of the Li Family's bloodline on Yang Fan, he would most likely be like the old monk, thinking that this Yang Fan was the illegitimate son left behind by one of his disappointing sons.
"Previously, This Penniless Monk found it strange that this child was able to suppress his generation at such a young age and become the leader of the younger generation."
The old monk sighed and said, "Now it seems that it's not strange at all for him to have such an innate ability to become stronger just by killing monsters."
Old Man Li nodded gently.
He, who also possessed this Northern Underworld ability, was even more aware of the convenience and terror of this innate ability.
There was no need to cultivate, no need to consume Heaven and Earth treasures. As long as he kept hunting monsters, he could quickly become stronger.
Back then, he was able to advance all the way from the lower levels, pushing his strength and status to his current realm. It was inseparable from the fact that he had successfully awakened this innate ability when he broke through to the Martial Artist Realm.
This kind of cheat-like leveling speed was enough for him to suppress all the geniuses of the same generation and even the geniuses of the next generation.
Now, from Yang Fan, he also saw the shadow of himself leveling up by killing monsters back then.
It was just that Yang Fan seemed to be even more extreme than him. Not only did he have an even more awesome Gravity Field that could hunt monsters in a large area, but he had also started to kill half-step Demon Emperors when he was still in the King Realm. He was much more awesome than him back then.
That was a half-step Demon Emperor. He, Li, only had the chance to occasionally kill a half-step Demon Emperor when his cultivation had broken through to the peak of the Emperor Realm.
Unlike Yang Fan, who was only in the realm of Level Six Martial King, he had already started to kill half-step Demon Emperors to gain experience. This made him, an old senior, feel a little jealous as he watched from the side.
It was really the new generation replacing the old. Even his biological grandson, who had countless monsters feeding him since he was young, was not as exaggerated as Yang Fan.
This child, if he did not die halfway, his future achievements would definitely not be inferior to his.
"It's just that it's a bit wasteful. The energy in the half-step Demon Emperors' bodies is still too huge for him, who is only in the King Realm now. He may not be able to absorb them all."
Old Man Li was a little envious.
With so many half-step Demon Emperors, it was most suitable for his grandson to absorb. With his grandson's current cultivation and strength, he could perfectly absorb all the spiritual power and soul power that overflowed from these half-step Demon Emperors' bodies before they died.
"It's a bit wasteful." Monk Ba smacked his lips twice and said, "But he got this benefit with his own ability. It doesn't matter even if it's a waste."
"If you have the ability, go kill them yourself, or let your precious grandson catch them himself!"
The monk was a little gloating.
Half-step Demon Emperors were not so easy to capture alive. Even with Old Man Li's current status, the Federation could not provide him with half-step Demon Emperors for him to kill for fun without limit.
At most, the half-step Demon Emperors or Demon Emperors that did not have much value left after being used by the Federation's Research Institute would be sent to this old man from time to time.
However, this old man loved his grandson dearly. Every time there was such a benefit, he would call his grandson over to get the experience that originally belonged to him.
As a result, now that his grandson's cultivation had improved by leaps and bounds, this grandfather of his was getting weaker day by day, becoming more and more useless.
Old Man Li glared at the old monk. "It's not like you don't know how I's Dao injury is. It won't help no matter how much he absorbs. Rather than that, I might as well help my grandson."
"Yes, yes, yes. Your grandson is also a genius. Perhaps he'll have a chance to become a Demon Emperor in the future."
The old monk did not bicker with him. He only said somewhat disdainfully, "It's a pity that he doesn't have enough courage. He always thinks of relying on his ancestors for everything. He's never thought of going out on his own to seek these benefits."
"Just based on this point alone, he can't be mentioned in the same breath as this Yang Fan boy in front of you."
"Believe it or not, even though Yang Fan is only a Level Seven Martial King now, and your precious grandson is already a Level Nine Monarch, about to break through and become a half-step Demon Emperor, it's still unknown who will be the first to become a Demon Emperor in the future."
The old monk's words were not polite at all. In other words, he was more optimistic about Yang Fan.
Old Man Li did not take it to heart. He shook his head lightly. He knew that the old monk was angry that he did not absorb the half-step Demon Emperors' energy to repair his body. Therefore, he vented his anger on his precious grandson.
In the end, this old monk was only worried about Old Man Li's body. He was afraid that he would not be able to hold on for much longer.
"You're a little biased. That child Yong Yan is not a flower in a greenhouse. All these years, I deliberately let him use Emperor-level and half-step Demon Emperors to temper his courage. How could he not have enough courage?"
Old Man Li defended his grandson. He said, "In every battle to protect the city, Yong Yan has never retreated. His achievements are also remarkable. The Emperor-level Demon Emperors who died in his hands are not few. You can't deliberately belittle him just because he's not like Yang Fan who can capture half-step Demon Emperors alive. "
"A monk should act like a monk. You should also be more broad-minded!"
"Bullsh * t!" The old monk curled his lips. "I admit that the boy has indeed killed many Emperor-level Demon Emperors. However, have you seriously checked the cultivation levels of those Demon Emperors who died in his hands?"
"They were all low-level Demon Emperors below Level 5. Don't even talk about skipping levels to fight. Even a battle of the same level has almost never happened!"
"What does this mean? Do I still need to explain it to you? I said that the boy lacks courage, courage, and ambition. Am I wrong? "
There was one more thing that the old monk did not say clearly.
That was, that grandson clearly knew that Old Man Li was seriously injured and did not have long to live. However, he still devoured and absorbed Old Man Li's tribute share without the slightest bit of guilt. He was truly ambitious.
However, Old Man Li valued this grandson very much and nurtured him wholeheartedly. He did not listen to any advice at all. The old monk could not do anything about it.
"Enough!" Old Man Li's face was a little unhappy. He said sternly, "Yong Yan is being cautious. He plans before acting. He won't easily put himself in danger."
"That child has been obedient since he was young. I told him all these beforehand. I don't want such a good seedling with the potential to become an Emperor to fall prematurely due to various accidents before he fully grows up."
"Once Yong Yan becomes the fourth Emperor of the human race, all these problems will no longer be a problem!"
"Amitabha … That Buddha!"
The old monk gritted his teeth and chanted a Buddha's name. He ignored Old Man Li.
This old thing had spoiled his grandson so much that he had gone mad. He was usually quite smart. However, when it came to his precious grandson, he became deaf and blind.
"I only have one question. Now, do you still want to see this little Yang Fan?"
After a few breaths, the old monk could not help but ask Old Man Li,
"Although his cultivation base is not obvious now, with his current reputation and cultivation progress, it won't be long before he catches up to that precious grandson of yours."
"The Federation's resources are limited. Right now, there are two fellows with the innate divine ability of sucking blood and energy appearing in Central City at the same time. They'll definitely become competitors in the future … To be honest, your grandson might not be a match for this kid."
Old Man Li's expression did not change. He watched Yang Fan kill another two half-step Demon Monarchs through the water screen and said softly,
"Monk, you're actually starting to doubt I's character?"
"I can tell you clearly that I have never opposed competition. Only with competition can there be progress. The winner wins, and the loser is eliminated. This is the law of nature. No one can violate it."
"Yong Yan's life has been smooth since he was young. It's actually not bad to have such a competitor all of a sudden. If I can use this opportunity to stimulate his competitiveness, he'll definitely enter the half-step Emperor Realm faster. This is a good thing. Why should I stop him? "
"Therefore, I not only want to see this kid Yang Fan, but I'll also impart to him the set of secret skills about the Northern Darkness that I've created for most of my life!"
"If he really has the ability and luck to become a threat to Yong Yan and defeat him in one fell swoop. In the end, he'll break through and become an Emperor. I will only be happy to see it happen. I won't have any complaints!"
"Amitabha … That Buddha!"
The old monk chanted the name of Buddha softly again. His eyes were full of mercy.
This old thing had not been completely blinded by his precious grandson and was not completely muddle-headed.
The old monk did not doubt the authenticity of Old Man Li's words. As an old partner who had worked together for almost 200 years, the old monk trusted Old Man Li's character and bearing.
Now, the only problem was that he did not know if Yang Fan would be so capable that he could defeat Old Man Li's precious grandson.
He was … inexplicably looking forward to it!
