Supreme Warrior in the City

”What!?” Su Yang couldn’t help but exclaim. Before he left, for the World Melting Furnace, that was already seven years ago.

So, does that mean Ye Wantong’s retreat this time actually took seven years?

Noticing Su Yang’s astonishment, the dean whispered, ”Seven years! Among the young ones, very few can retreat for such a long time. Miss Ye’s determination is steadfast, not much inferior to Ye Sword Saint. It seems that after Ye Sword Saint’s departure, the Human World has finally found someone to succeed!”

Su Yang was also extremely shocked in his heart; a seven-year retreat was unimaginable for many people. Unexpectedly, Ye Wantong actually achieved it!

Feeling the surging Sword Qi, Su Yang was also astounded.

The harvest from Ye Wantong’s retreat this time is not small. Judging from the Sword Qi, her current strength is likely to be able to contend with Beigong War God and others.

However, one must remember, the starting point of Beigong War God and others was much higher than Ye Wantong’s.

Moreover, Beigong War God and a few others obtained Divine Artifacts inside the Feather Spirit Palace, enhancing their strength further. Plus, they had been specially training in Storm Valley for quite some time, the effects of which were hundreds or thousands of times stronger than cultivating in the World Melting Furnace.

Honestly, if it weren’t for the dean and others lacking strength or not having the protection of Divine Artifacts, Su Yang would have really wanted to take them to Storm Valley for training. The results of this training were truly excellent!

Yet, despite Beigong War God and others undergoing such intense training, their rate of strength improvement didn’t match Ye Wantong’s retreat speed, which was quite hard to accept!

Beigong War God and the others also looked extremely shocked. Qi Zhishan muttered, ”She’s truly worthy of being Ye Sword Saint’s daughter!”

The others nodded repeatedly; Ye Sword Saint’s talent surpassed theirs, whether they liked it or not!

Su Yang stood there, his heart filled with excitement.

After about two hours, the Sword Qi in the air grew denser, and this Sword Qi began to take shape, condensing into real entities.

Everyone was even more shocked. At Ye Wantong’s level of cultivation, shaping Sword Qi was extremely challenging. However, once successfully condensed, its power would be immense.

If the Sword Qi took shape and solidified into an entity, it meant that when Ye Wantong faced enemies, it wouldn’t matter if she had a physical sword or not. She could simply infuse Sword Qi into any object, as everything in the world could become a sword for her use!

Of course, if she could wield a better longsword, her strength could be even better utilized.

Finally, under everyone’s watchful eyes, the Sword Qi in the air gradually took form, transforming into a longsword suspended in mid-air.

At this moment, the door of the small building where Ye Wantong was retreating suddenly opened.

A woman in white gracefully flew out, riding the sword through the air, like a celestial maiden from the ninth heaven, inspiring endless admiration.

This woman was none other than Ye Wantong!

After a seven-year retreat, she hadn’t changed much, except that her aura had become even more ethereal, even more detached from the mundane world.

Seeing Ye Wantong, Su Yang’s heart filled with boundless joy. He immediately flew over and called out, ”Wan Tong!”

Ye Wantong also saw Su Yang, her eyes turning red. During her seven-year retreat, she had missed Su Yang greatly. Meeting him the moment she exited brought her immense joy.

The Sword Qi in the air vanished into nothingness, and Ye Wantong flew to Su Yang’s side. Ignoring the gazes of those around, she threw herself into Su Yang’s embrace.

”Ahem...” The dean cleared his throat and turned, ”So, Mr. Beigong, why don’t we go have a chat? It’s been a while!”

”Yes, yes...” The others nodded repeatedly and quickly turned to leave.

Only the three Crystal Skulls remained inappropriately standing in the air, staring intently at Su Yang and Ye Wantong.

”Hey, you three, come down and chat!” Qi Zhishan called out.

”Chat about what? We’re not even familiar; what’s there to talk about!” The Second City Lord said without turning his head.

Qi Zhishan was speechless, ”Is it a matter of familiarity? The key is to give them some private space. They haven’t seen each other for seven years; surely they have things to talk about, don’t you think you’re being a nuisance here?”

”Once in a lifetime makes twice familiar, chat away, and you’ll get familiar!” Without saying more, Qi Zhishan pulled the Second City Lord away.

”I don’t want to get familiar...” muttered the Second City Lord, but unable to resist, he was forcibly dragged away.

As for the Great City Lord, he had better sense; realizing the situation was awkward, he quickly pulled the Third City Lord away too. Staying as a third wheel here was asking for trouble.

In the sky, Ye Wantong and Su Yang exchanged a knowing smile at this scene. They understood their intentions but didn’t bother paying them any mind.

After a tender embrace, Su Yang finally asked about Ye Wantong’s retreat. Ye Wantong’s improvement in strength indeed surprised him.

”My improvement mainly came from the help of this little guy.” Ye Wantong softly called, and from the small building below, out came a chubby, round Little Bear, the Earth Bear she had previously kept by her side.

Over such a long time, the little guy hadn’t changed much, still having a small stature, a round body, and a cute demeanor.

The little guy trotted over on its short legs, flying straight to Ye Wantong’s side and snuggling affectionately onto her shoulder.

Seeing this little guy, Su Yang couldn’t help but smile too. He pulled out the still-sleeping Little Turtle, tossing it in front of the little guy; they had been playmates before.

Over the years, the Little Turtle had consumed much Spirit Liquid Essence, growing significantly but not yet to the level of the Golden Phoenix or Three-legged Colorful Crow. It seems Little Chick and Little Grey Bird becoming such kingly Divine Beasts wasn’t simply from consuming Spirit Liquid Essence.

Su Yang wasn’t in a rush to see Little Turtle grow up because such matters couldn’t be forced. After all, a kingly Divine Beast with combat power comparable to a Sub-Saint isn’t something that can grow up easily.

”This little guy helped you? Su Yang asked curiously, ”How did it help you?”

”It brought me some Sword Qi at intervals, and absorbing and cultivating with this Sword Qi greatly enhanced my strength,” Ye Wantong explained. ”It was only half a year ago that it stopped bringing in Sword Qi. By then, I had finally reached the realm my father mentioned!”

Su Yang was taken aback, surprised as he looked at the Little Bear. Where did this little guy get the Sword Qi?
