“Level…… Level 8 Arcanist?”


  “Uncle Fu is a Level 8 Arcanist?”


  Everyone was shocked.

  To be precise, everyone except Grandpa Yang was shocked.

  This included all eight sons and daughters of Grandpa Yang and their children as all of them looked at Uncle Fu the Butler with a look of disbelief.

  As a member of the Yang family, all of them knew that Uncle Fu was their father’s personal butler, but they never knew that Uncle Fu was an Arcanist, much less a terrifying Level 8 Arcanist.

  “Un-Uncle Fu, you’re…… a Level 8 Arcanist?”


  The eldest son of the Yang family was elated and excitedly asked, “Why didn’t we know of this before? You have been too low-key!”


  “Young Master, you may not know, I’ve followed master for all these years and received his special care. Fortunately, I have a small talent as an Arcanist, and did not waste master’s resources.”


  Uncle Fu the Butler looked grateful. “Everything I have is bestowed by the master. Without him, there will be no me! I only want to stand by master silently, and everything else is not important.”


  “Oh, I see!”


  The eldest son nodded and said, “With Uncle Fu around, I’m relieved now!”


  Speaking of which, he turned his head and looked at Ling Jiu mockingly. “Ling Jiu, for my little sister’s sake, we won’t kill you. Get out of the Yang household immediately!”


  “Get out of the Yang household!”


  “Get out of the Yang household!”


  “Get out of the Yang household!”


  The second, third, and other sons, the daughters, as well as Yang Tian, and other grandchildren were roused as they burst into a tirade.

  Earlier on, they were really frightened.

  Ling Jiu!

  A person who had killed a Beast Lord with a single slash, and had destroyed an entire Beast Tide with his own strength. What terrifying strength was that?

  Against Ling Jiu, there was nothing else left but fear as they had no way to fight against him. Hire a Level 8 Arcanist? You gotta be joking!

  Even if the Yang family used up all of their wealth, that bit of savings was not enough to hire a Level 8 Arcanist.

  So, they were very scared, and worried that Ling Jiu would seek revenge! But now……

  They were not afraid anymore. With such a powerhouse in the family, what was there to be afraid of? Now was Ling Jiu’s turn to be afraid, not them!

  “Cousin Ling Jiu!” Yang Yuting said loudly.

  “Regardless, you are still Auntie’s son. Whether you like it or not, you still have the blood of the Yang family flowing in you. As long as you are willing to let go of your grudges, I believe the family will be very willing to accept you!”


  As he said that, he looked at Grandpa Yang. “Grandfather, Cousin is a member of Pangu’s super training camp and also the camp’s ace!”


  “Just half a month ago, he even wiped out a Beast Tide led by the Beast Lord, the Ironclad Ox-dragon Serpent!”


  “With such talent, even with Cousin’s birth, I think we should give him a chance to rejoin the family!”


  “That is the best option for Cousin, Auntie, and our family. Everyone will be happy!”


  Hearing this, the six Yang brothers looked at each other and nodded slightly.

  While the Yang family was one of the great families of Chang’an Base City, it was far behind the top great families like the Ai family and the Chang family.

  What was the difference between them?

  The others were top-level elites!

  The gap was something that could not be bridged no matter how much money was spent, but if they had an elite like Ling Jiu, everything would be solved.

  Moreover, Ling Jiu was only 17 years old yet he possessed such terrifying strength. If he were to join the Yang family, not only the family could narrow the gap between the Ais and the Changs, but perhaps even surpass them in one fell swoop.

  “What Yuting said makes sense!”


  The eldest son of the Yang family nodded slightly and looked at Grandpa Yang. “Father, give him a chance, if he is willing to return to the family, little sis will also come back. This is indeed a happy ending for all!”


  “Yes, Father. He is still a child after all, and being brash due to his youth is inevitable. As long as he is given proper guidance later, I believe he could become a leader of the Yang family!”


  “Father……”


  The six brothers of the Yang family spoke one after another as if they had already taken Ling Jiu as a property of the Yang family. It seemed like as long as they were willing to accept him, Ling Jiu would submit obediently.

  “Silence!”


  Grandpa Yang waved his hand and motioned for everyone to stop talking as he stared at Ling Jiu coldly. “If I remember correctly, you are only 17 years old this year?”


  “If I am, so what?” Ling Jiu said lightly.

  “To be able to kill a Class 7 Direbeast at the age of 17, you have the right to return to the family, whether it’s thanks to your strength or talent,” Grandpa Yang said faintly. “Kneel and kowtow to me. Then I will allow you to return to the family!”


  Although he looked calm, Grandpa Yang was actually very shocked.

  He had long kept his hands off the matter of the family affairs, and had ignored all external affairs as well.

  So, he really did not know about Ling Jiu’s deeds, and now after hearing of Ling Jiu’s feats, he was really shocked.

  A 17-year-old-boy……

  Killing a Beast Lord alone……

  Destroying a Beast Tide alone……

  What terrifying strength was this?

  What kind of genius was this?

  Grandpa Yang was even regretful. IF he had accepted Ling Tianci and Ling Jiu back then, wouldn’t Ling Tianci be a member of the Yang family now?

  He felt a little regretful.

  However, Yuting’s words reminded him that it was not too late. Yes, it was not too late, as long as he was willing to accept Ling Jiu, the latter could still be part of the family.

  After all, Ling Jiu was still his grandson, and his blood flowed within his body. Blood was thicker than water, and the two families could get back together.

  Looking at the high and mighty Grandpa Yang who had said those words like he was giving out alms, Ling Jiu laughed as he looked at Grandpa Yang like he was looking at a mentally retarded person. “Kneel and kowtow? Allow me to return to the family?”


  “That’s right!”


  Grandpa Yang indifferently said, “Although you are of poor stock, you still have good talents. I will allow you to return to the family, and I am also willing to accept your father. From now on, we will be family!”


  “Family?”


  Ling Jiu sneered and suddenly squeezed his fist hard.

  Bam!

  Yang Yuting was instantly squashed, and he blew up in a cloud of blood before he even had the time to scream.

  Seeing this sudden scene, everyone was caught off guard. After a moment of being dumbstruck, Yang Yuting’s father, the fourth son screamed, “You…… You killed Yuting!”


  The fourth son had a menacing expression on his face. “You killed Yuting! You crazy b*stard! Yuting is your cousin!”


  “Ling Jiu, why are you doing this?”


  Yang Tian, who was in the crowd, leaped out. “Grandfather has already allowed you to return to the family, why did you kill Yuting? Are you still human?”


  Grandpa Yang did not say anything as he stared at Ling Jiu. His hand that was over his walking stick had veins popping all over, and one could see he was suppressing his rage.

  Against the angry gazes of the Yang family, Ling Jiu flicked his fingers as he said with can’t be bothered expression, as if he had done something really trivial.

  He glanced at Yang Tian and the fourth son before looking at Grandpa Yang. “To be honest, I really can’t understand how the Yang family’s mind works.”


  “A small family with assets less than 500 billion and without any decent powerhouses holding the fort, where did you get the confidence and courage to get me to return to the fold?”


  Ling Jiu glanced at every member of the Yang family. “Is the Yang family that powerful, that great? Is it comparable to Pangu, or Vulcan, or a royal family so much so that you have such a strong sense of pride, such a sense of superiority?

  “I’ll be frank, the Yang family is not even…… worth a fart in my eyes. The assets of the Yang family aren’t even anywhere close to my mine!”


  “B*stard! You dare look down on the Yang family?”


  Grandpa Yang’s face turned blue with anger.

  “Look down? No, no, no! Not looking down, but…… the Yang family itself isn’t worth a fart at all, and I’m not afraid to tell you that the balance in my bank card alone is more than 10 trillion, while all of your assets are not even a fraction of mine!”


  Ling Jiu shook his head as he looked at Uncle Fu, the Butler. “As for the powerhouse that the Yang family relies on, he’s nothing but a gnat in my eyes!”


  “Kill him! Kill that b*stard!”


  Grandpa Yang was furious, and he pointed at Ling Jiu as he roared hysterically, “Ah Fu! Kill this b*stard! I want him dead!”


  “Yes, Sir!”


  Uncle Fu the Butler stared at Ling Jiu coldly. “Boy, still not surrendering?”


  “Me? Surrender? To you?”


  Ling Jiu pointed at his head and looked Ah Fu as if he was looking at a fool. “I have to say, after being with the Yang family for so long, your brain has also been infected by their stupidity.”


  “Die!”


  Ah Fu snorted coldly as he raised his skinny right hand and made a violent grabbing motion. He could control everything within his Arcana Field.

  A Level 6 Arcanist’s Arcana Field was relatively weak, but he was a Level 8 Arcanist. His Arcana Field was very powerful, and his control was even more terrifying.

  In other words, the Arcana Field of a Level 8 Arcanist was definitely not just for show!

  Baaaam!!

  A terrifying Arcana Field power acted upon Ling Jiu and grabbed onto him, yet Ling Jiu still smiled and even teased.

  “So this is your Arcana Field. It’s shackling power is really strong, but sadly…… not enough!”


  “B*stard!”


  Ah Fu was furious as thunder and lightning suddenly appeared inside his Arcana Field.

  The thunder and lightning looked like a raging thunder snake that wandered freely within the Arcana Field. It then struck Ling Jiu violently as it hit his body in a frenzy.

  Crackle!

  “Now that’s more like it!”


  Ling Jiu did not dodge and allowed the lightning strike him as he kept his smile.

  “However, to kill me with this bit of lightning…… not enough. It’s more like a tickle at best!”


  Uncle Fu was shocked, and got even more irate as a terrifying gravitational force acted on Ling Jiu as it squeezed against Ling Jiu’s body in a frenzy.

  “Two hundred times the gravity?”


  The corner of Ling Jiu’s mouth curled up. “Now that’s something, but sadly still not enough!”


  “Three hundred times the gravity!”


  Uncle Fu roared as an even more powerful surge of gravity crashed against Ling Jiu’s body.

  “Old man, that’s the best you can do?”


  Ling Jiu frowned slightly as he got impatient. “Let me tell you, gravity is not used like that. Five hundred times the gravity!”


  Baaam!!

  An unparalleled and terrifying gravity suddenly crashed against Uncle Fu.

  Uncle Fu’s expression changed drastically as his back was instantly bent. His face was instantly flushed as veins popped out from his forehead as blood oozed uncontrollably out of his nostrils, the corner of his mouth, and ears.

  Yet, he still stubbornly stood up.

  “As expected of a Level 8 Arcanist.”


  Ling Jiu was slightly amazed. Then raised his hand and pressed it down. “Six hundred times the gravity!”


  Baaaam!!
