Chapter 71: The Most Talented Disciple

  It took a considerable amount of time for Xiao Xing Meng to get the detailed information out of Yan Cheng, who was taciturn.

  The Bai family of Mount Bai is a noble family of a small empire, with the imperial family of the Gama Empire first, and the three nobles are not in the same situation. The Bai family is above the imperial power.

  In this ordinary family, a baby was born one day who even they feared. As soon as he was born, he opened his eyes and could speak, but couldn't cry or laugh. The head of the household wanted to kill him immediately, but in the end, due to his mother's pleas, he was sent to be raised by the Yan family, a subordinate force of the Bai family. And so, that baby came to be named Yan Cheng. Only a few people knew about this matter, and even Bai Shan thought Yan Cheng was the son of the head of the Yan family, a collateral branch of his own family.

  At that time, no one thought that a newborn baby would remember this completely, but he, who was already conscious at the time, simply accepted everything without emotion.

  The Yan family is a family that does dirty work for the Bai family, and from birth they must fight each other to survive, at the same time it's a tribe that can sacrifice their lives at any time to achieve their goals, living for death.

  Yan Cheng showed astonishing talent and brilliance, becoming the Dou Wang at just sixteen years old, leaping to become one of the top experts in the empire. Due to his existence, the Yan family, who had long been dominated by the Bai family, thoroughly raised the flag of rebellion, spending a year bringing down the Bai family, and the empire entered an era of tripartite confrontation among multiple noble families.

  Of course, this matter developed too quickly and had not been known by Bai Shan and others. The person who went to Gan Nan Academy to report the news was ambushed halfway by Yan's family and sent Yan Cheng into Gan Nan Academy to kill Bai Shan and other young people of the Bai family, in order to completely strangle the Bai family.

  Yan Cheng did not show that terrible skill and strength in the college, but simply appeared as a great Dou Shi with cultivation, waiting for the opportunity to enter the inner courtyard.

  "Bai Shan also said that someone would help him defeat Xiao Yan... Could it be you?" Xiao Xing Meng recalled Bai Shan's words, at that time Yan Cheng had just entered the courtyard, and the timing was just right.

  "Perhaps when I was still at the White House, I was already a genius of the Empire, and the White House also wanted to take me back, but I refused."

  "Well, one last question." Xiao Xing asked curiously: "Why would you say all these things to me?"

  Indeed, these were originally secret matters, whether it was Yan Cheng's Dou Wang strength or the talent to copy others' Dou techniques with just one glance (special Gong Fa that couldn't be used, such as: Buddha Fury Fire Lotus.), or the matter of the Bai family. It was impossible for him to say this to someone he had never met before.

  "It doesn't matter, I won't be able to complete this anyway." Yan Cheng said expressionlessly: "Later on, I came to understand that this talent might require one's life as payment. I can feel it myself, my lifespan is already not long, and I no longer plan to kill Bai Shan."

  "Wow, kidding me? After becoming the Dou Wang, your lifespan will increase. What a joke for a 17-year-old kid... Let me take your pulse..." Although he said it jokingly, Xiao Xing Meng had already believed about 80-90% of it. Yan Cheng's white hair was not fake, but truly caused by his declining life force.

  Riding on the meridian, the Dou Qi circulated in Yan Cheng's body for a circle, and Xiao Xing Meng discovered the problem.

  Although the aura of the Dou Wang is correct, his meridians are declining; although his blood and energy are flourishing, his breath is gradually weakening. Based on Xiao Xing Meng's many years of experience, this guy's natural lifespan won't exceed one year. Are you kidding me? The lifespan of a Dou practitioner is ridiculously long, how can such a thing happen? And even if it were an ordinary person, it wouldn't be possible for them to have such a short lifespan, right?

  No wounds, no illness, yet a short lifespan, or perhaps: an alien?

  Concentrating his mind, Yan Cheng carefully observed the physical body. Under the Emperor's realm, where the soul was fully open, it was indeed as he had expected. On Yan Cheng's body, there were almost imperceptible special water elements that ordinary people did not have. It was probably this water element that activated Yan Cheng's consciousness, so after birth, his emotions became weak, and his lifespan and excess emotions transformed into pure talent. Copying Douji's techniques came easily to him, and cultivating Dou Qi was like having a cheat code, but his lifespan was frighteningly short.

  Unfortunately, this alien water has been in Yan Cheng's body since he was born and has completely merged with him. If Yan Cheng dies, the alien water will also disappear. Even Xiao Xing Meng cannot separate it out. Unless Yan Cheng reaches the realm of Dou Sheng or becomes a Dou Emperor-level cultivator, it is impossible to do so.

  Facing such a genius and for the sake of the heterochromia in his body, Xiao Xing Meng, the world's number one collector and the world's number one teacher, can no longer hold back his emotions!

  "Innate talent, as long as the method is good enough, quickly upgrade levels and lifespan can be extended. You can rely on upgrading your strength to extend your lifespan until you reach the level of a Fighting Saint, at least you'll have a hundred years of life." Xiao Xing said with a relaxed tone.

  Yan Chengrang thought of the story "In Memory of Zuo Yong" and wondered what would have happened if a genius had met a teacher who was also a genius.

  If they hadn't met each other, Yan Cheng would probably have died quietly and Bai Shan would have returned to work hard for the revival of his family, and the two would have quietly exited the stage.

  "Bow to me as your master and I'll save you. How's that?"

  Unexpectedly, Yan Cheng shook his head and said lightly: "Although I told you some things, it doesn't mean I trust you. I know you're a Dou Huang, but I've killed several Dou Huangs already. You don't even qualify to be my master."

  "I'm going to kill you!" Xiao Xing Meng was rejected for the first time when he wanted to take an apprentice, "You little rascal, put on a good show! I'll use my Dou Wang strength to fight you! I want you to kneel down and call me Dad...Master!"

  ………

  The outcome was already decided, and although Yan Cheng's talent was higher than Xiao Xing Meng's, under the "Wu He Boundary" pre-emptive strike, he was still unable to land a hit on Xiao Xing Meng. The "Wu He Boundary" technique was similar to a secret art, and Yan Cheng was unable to "see" or replicate it, so he lost without hesitation. However, Yan Cheng's combat instincts far exceeded Xiao Xing Meng's expectations, and the Tian Jie Gong Fa he gave him was indeed capable of reaching the Dou Sheng level.

  Yan Cheng also understood that the vastness of Dou Qi Continent far exceeded his imagination, and the person in front of him was not simply a Dou Huang. He agreed to become a disciple, but his expressionless face made Xiao Xing Meng extremely depressed.

  The cultivation method given to Yan Cheng is "Kong Chan Ri Yue", a low-level heavenly stage cultivation method. People who cultivate this method have not only fast Dou Qi absorption speed, but also reduced difficulty in advancing, making it a divine level cultivation method that people with lower innate talent dream of.

  Of course, the reason why Yan Cheng was given this cultivation method is not because of his low talent, but because he urgently needs to upgrade. Under time pressure, this method is also quite suitable, however, in order to become a Dou Huang within a year and quickly become a Dou Zong, even Yan Cheng will have to enter a long period of closed-door training.
