12 Knowledge Is Power

"Its incredible. Looking at his malnourished body, we can assume that the boy never received any proper cultivation resources. Yet, he is still able to manifest his soul force." Ye Xiao commented. Those very thin body didn't even have enough food, so its impossible to buy any pills.

"Hmmm. With Snow Wind Family support, reaching legend ranked demon spiritualist won't be impossible." The one who replied was Ye Xiu, Ye Zong's younger brother and Ye Xiao's older brother. He currently sitting beside Ye Xiao since the start of the gathering.

"Brother in-law is lucky. Fufufu." Lu Yingmei elegantly laughed.

"Still, suddenly adopting an outsider will bring a lot of problems for eldest brother. And regardless of the talent, personality matters more." Ye Xiao continued

"Aren't you too cautious towards a kid? We have a lot of time to observe him."

"I hope so. Its not like you don't understand our eldest brother, once he decides something, its almost impossible to change his mind. Except.."

"Except Lord Father intervene personally. From the looks of it, eldest brother Ye Zong hasn't informed our father." Ye Xiu nodded. Ye Zong only feared his father, the only legend ranked practitioner in the city.

Ye Xinghan silently listened while observing the arena.

Ye Han was a minor antagonist in the original novels. Actually, there was no issue regarding his personality. He was brave, gentleman, patient, and caring.

He became twisted because of the Sacred Family influence. And mainly, because his ambition and feelings for Ye Ziyun.

'Lets see if you are obedient. It won't be too late to get rid of you anyway, since you can't make any tremendous waves' Ye Xinghan thought.

As each people have their own consideration, the battle arena came into thr final phase. City Lord personally handing the rewards for the winner.

With each of the top rankings receive a very generous rewards, compelling the youngster to strive and works even harder.

Not everyone is content with the result. But the other couldn't careless. And finally, the family gathering officially ended.

Everybody went back to their own home with their family, and Ye Xinghan fell asleep as soon as he reached his bed.

==================

Morning

Glory City's market. The biggest market located in the heart of the city.

Numerous kinds of things were displayed. Meat, vegetables, demon's spirit, and many other stuff were gathered and sold everyday in this place.

Even some luxurious and expensive things could be spotted. And no one afraid of thieves. Because the defensive system of the market was top notch.

The tax collected from this place alone was massive, that's why the City Lord mansion attached a great importance upon this market.

Bronze ranked fighters passed the streets from time to time. Eyeing every possible details with the best effort they could muster.

And if some unforseen accidents were to happen. There was no doubt that they would swarm at the moment notice, and probably some the hidden demon spiritualist would also join in.

That is why, everyone was at ease to spend their money here.

Since early morning, Ye Xinghan strolled and looked at the items with great interest.

There was nothing particular that he needed. He was just sightseeing this market because it appeared in the original story.

And before long, he entered the section of antique items.

There was considerably a lot more rich looking folks than the periphery of the market. And the decoration of the shop was more vibrant as well.

"Purple Wood Essence Incense, relaxing your mind and helping you to receive enlightment easier. 10 Sticks for 1,000 DSC."

"Chopper Violent Ape Vest. Especially designed for Bronze Rank Fighter. 50,000 DSC."

"Drazzle Flame Grass, farmed from the high mountain. Very useful if you encounter insect type demon beast. Burn it and they will be paralyzed. You can have easier time to extract the blood without hurting the beast. Ideal for defend yourself against the Vegans argument. 5,000 DSC for 20 Stalks."

Loud voices were thrown here and there, attracting people. There were even vendors who compete to scream the loudest against each other.

Ye Xinghan skimming through the items carelessly, as he felt the items displayed were not really useful for him.

But, he stopped at the average looking vendor that currently has no customer.

What attracted him was a scroll of inscription, named " Added Body Weight".

"Mister, can you explain more about this scroll?" Ye Xinghan asked the vendor's owner.

"Oh, Young Master, hehehe. As the name implies, this inscription can add the user's body weight with only a tiny bid of spiritual energy. The maximum output of this inscription is 3 times of the bodyweight." The owner carefully explained to Ye Xinghan, as he looked like a fully fledged young scion.

Ye Xinghan slightly frowned. There was several theories inside his head regarding this scroll. The most possible explanation was gravitational manipulation.

There were a lot of fan fiction who used the gravitation to exponentially increasing their body power. And it is scientifically proven as well that the beings who lived with extreme conditions were evolved to be stronger than the rest that did not.

Ye Xinghan felt that he could speed up his body training with this scroll. And possibly even enhance it further as he gathered the knowledge of inscription.

'Haki, I'm coming' Ye Xinghan happily thought.

"What the hell with that useless scroll." A voice suddenly interrupted. It was the side vendor's owner.

"Who in the world use such inscription to tortures their own body. Useless as F during a battle." He continued his chatter.

Ye Xinghan smirked and asked the vendor's owner, "How much is this scroll?"

"It is 700 DSC, young master." The owner purposelly lowered the original price, as he was also felt this scroll was useless. For fear that Ye Xinghan backed off if he was scared of the price.

"Here, 1,000 DSC. Count it as a tip because you keep this scroll for me." Ye Xinghan said as he handed the money and proceed to continued his sightseeing.

But as Ye Xinghan passed in front of the side owner, he left a sentence.

"If you sweat more during the peace, you will bleed less during the war.

Never underestimate the value of something, because it can be a deadly weapon in the hands of the right people"
