MARTIAL PEAK 5927

Yang Kai couldn’t help laughing, “Then I really must work harder.”

After chatting with Yang Xue for a while, the two siblings were both filled with warmth.

Yang Kai turned to look at Yang Xiao, who had been standing beside him.

“Foster Father!” Yang Xiao straightened his back, a drop of sweat dripping down his forehead.

Yang Kai narrowed his eyes slightly, “Are you nervous?”

“No! No!” Yang Xiao denied flatly, “When I saw my foster father in such a difficult situation, this child was overjoyed.”

Yang Kai snorted lightly.

Yang Xiao suddenly shivered.

“Cultivate well and quickly break through to the Divine Dragon realm,” Yang Kai said after staring at him for a moment.

“Yes, I will not disappoint you!” Yang Xiao replied firmly.

“Go,” Yang Kai waved his hand.

Yang Xue led the stiff Yang Xiao far away before suddenly turning her head and warning, “Big Brother, you must be careful!”

Perhaps because of the unique connection between their bloodlines, she seemed to have sensed that Yang Kai was about to do something dangerous, and her brow was filled with worry.

Yang Kai nodded lightly, “You must also take care of yourselves.”

Watching Yang Xue and Yang Xiao leave, Yang Kai turned to his three disciples.

“Greetings, Honored Master!” The three of them knelt down and kowtowed.

Yang Kai stood where he was and accepted their greetings before stretching out his hand to support them, “Stand up.”

Zhao Yebai and the others stood up.

Sweeping his eyes over the three of them, Yang Kai smiled.

Most of the Void Dojo’s disciples had inherited a part of his legacy, allowing them to achieve great achievements in the various Great Daos. In other words, all the cultivators from the Void Dojo could be considered his disciples.

However, the only ones who were truly his direct disciples were these three.

It wasn’t that Yang Kai had any hidden secrets when he was imparting the Great Dao, but there was no one else apart from Zhao Yebai and the others who had truly become his disciple.

The three of them had each inherited one of Yang Kai’s Great Daos, and Yang Kai had always had high hopes for them. From the results of so many years, they had not let down Yang Kai’s expectations and their own talent.

“Are you about to break through?” Yang Kai suddenly felt that something was wrong with the auras of these three young people. No matter who it was, their auras were fluctuating, but they were being suppressed by some kind of force and were trying their best to restrain themselves.

Zhao Yebai said, “Reporting to Honored Master, we are indeed on the verge of breaking through, but Senior Wu Kuang said that now that the Withdrawing Black Ink Army is hiding, it’s not good to cause too much of a ruckus, so Senior Fu Guang set up some restrictions on us to delay our breakthrough.”

Yang Kai nodded slightly, “Naturally.”

The Withdrawing Black Ink Army's current situation was far from good, and concealing their whereabouts had already consumed a great deal of Wu Kuang’s concentration. If Zhao Yebai and the others were to break through at this time, they would immediately be exposed and it would be troublesome.

However, from the looks of it, the time Zhao Yebai and the others had taken to break through was similar to what he had expected. If they hadn’t been swallowed into the Heavenly Beginning Great Restriction this time, the three young people would have definitely broken through to the Ninth Order. At that time, whether it was them or the Withdrawing Black Ink Army, their strength would definitely have greatly increased.

“Come here. After advancing to the Ninth Order, your Master has some insights, so it’s a good opportunity for me to share them with you,” Yang Kai said as he took out a few mats from his Small Universe and threw them on the ground before sitting down cross-legged with his three disciples.

Zhao Yebai and the others quickly sat up straight and listened carefully.

Although Yang Xue had imparted some of her experiences to them before, each of them had encountered a different situation after breaking through to the Ninth Order. Listening to their Master’s teachings now would naturally benefit them in the future.

After teaching them about the things they should pay attention to when advancing to the Ninth Order, Yang Kai’s Divine Sense surged and after communicating with Wu Kuang for a while, he asked with a pleasant expression, “It’s rare for us to have some free time. Is there anything you need to clarify on your cultivation?”

The three of them immediately became spirited, and Zhao Yebai was the first to speak, “Honored Master, Disciple’s Space Dao seems to have reached a bottleneck and is about to ask Honored Master for guidance.”

Yang Kai nodded, “Activate the Space Force and let me see.”

Zhao Yebai immediately acted and felt the fluctuations of the Space Force, causing Yang Kai to raise his brow in surprise.

In terms of cultivation aptitude, Zhao Yebai should be the weakest among the three disciples. His aptitude was even lower than many of the Void Dojo’s disciples.

There was only one reason he was able to cultivate all the way to his current realm, and that was because he had an extremely high compatibility with the Space Great Dao. It was as if he was born to cultivate the Space Great Dao.

The reason Yang Kai had decided to take him in as a disciple was because he had sensed that Zhao Yebai, who was still in his mother’s womb, was resonating with his Space Great Dao.

At that time, Zhao Yebai had yet to be born!

A cultivator naturally caters to a kind of Great Dao. If they were to cultivate a Great Dao, it would be much easier, but cultivating a compatible Great Dao was completely different.

His affinity with the Dao of Space had smoothed out some of his deficiencies.

According to Yang Kai’s own understanding of the Great Dao, Zhao Yebai was currently at the peak of the Seventh Stage and was only a step away from reaching the Eighth Stage.

This was an extremely rare occurrence. Most adult Phoenix Clan members were at this level, but the Phoenix Clan itself had a unique advantage. The Dao of Space was their Natal Great Dao, so their cultivation was much smoother than any other living creature’s.

Amongst the Human Race, only Li Wuyi had reached this level, but Li Wuyi had cultivated for much longer than Zhao Yebai.

Yang Kai felt that if he continued to cultivate normally, it would be impossible for him to achieve Zhao Yebai’s achievements. The reason why his Great Dao attainments were so high was mainly because of his gains from the Celestial Phenomenon Sea and the Endless River. In these two wondrous places, he had refined and absorbed too much pure Great Dao energy, allowing his attainments in the various Great Daos to greatly increase.

The communication of the Great Dao could not be described with words. Yang Kai pondered for a moment before activating his Space Great Dao and slowly showing Zhao Yebai its mysteries.

Zhao Yebai was instantly entranced.

After a long time, he finally opened his mouth and said, “Honored Master’s strength, this Disciple admires!”

Yang Kai’s actions were equivalent to him unraveling the Space Great Dao in front of him, showing him the deepest mysteries of this Great Dao. With Zhao Yebai’s compatibility with the Space Great Dao, he was naturally able to comprehend many things.

All kinds of insights surged in his mind. As long as he went into seclusion for a while, Zhao Yebai was confident he could break through the bottleneck of his Great Dao and enter the next mysterious realm.

Although he couldn’t wait to do this, because of the current situation, Zhao Yebai could only temporarily restrain himself.

After the First Disciple, it was the Second Disciple’s turn. Yang Kai turned to look at Zhao Ya.

The little girl immediately stood up, raised her hand, and pulled out a long spear from the void, waving it around, “Please enlighten me, Honored Master!”

There was no way to guide the Spear Dao like before, so they could only communicate through a spar.

Yang Kai smiled slightly, “Just attack!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Yebai and Xu Yi, who had been sitting in front of Yang Kai, quickly rushed to the side.

Just as Yang Kai was wondering why they were reacting like this, his expression suddenly became serious. In an instant, a shocking and bone-piercing killing intent enveloped his body, and in the next instant, the tip of the spear rapidly enlarged.

Yang Kai gently raised his hand and blocked Zhao Ya’s spear.

However, Zhao Ya’s attacks were relentless, like a river breaking through a dam, fast and fierce.

With the long spear in her hand, Zhao Ya seemed to have transformed into a completely different person, her aura imposing to the extreme.

Her spear technique had the shadow of the Great Unrestrained Spear Technique, but it was more of her own accumulation. In terms of spear technique alone, Yang Kai felt that she had even surpassed him, making him feel somewhat helpless.

It was this chaotic world filled with danger that had created this astonishing spear technique. This was not something to be happy about.

Because she didn’t dare cause too much of a ruckus, Zhao Ya didn’t activate the World Force or her Great Dao at all, only using her Spear Technique.

Her killing intent grew stronger, as if she was not facing Yang Kai, her Honored Master, but an enemy who had an irreconcilable grudge with her.

Yang Kai finally understood why Zhao Yebai and Xu Yi had reacted in such a manner. From the looks of it, they had clearly experienced the power of Zhao Ya’s spear.

“Xiao Ya, your spear technique is amazing, but your killing intent is too strong,” Yang Kai said softly as he blocked the storm of attacks.

Zhao Ya shoot out, withdraw her spear, then attack again. Her figure was like a fluttering butterfly as she flew around Yang Kai, transforming the small space around her into a place covered with spear images. She opened her mouth and said, “The Spear Principle is an offensive Dao, if you don't have killing intent, how can you kill the enemy?”

“Killing intent is necessary, but having too much killing intent is not necessarily a good thing.”

“If we seize the enemy’s soul before fighting, it will naturally be easier for us to eliminate the evil.”

“If you encounter someone weaker than you, you can naturally use your killing intent to seize their courage, but if you encounter someone stronger than you, what will you do?”

“As long as the enemy remains, the killing intent will not stop!”

Yang Kai shook his head slightly, “Xiao Ya, the Spear Principle is indeed an offensive dao, but you must understand one thing, is your spear born to kill or to protect?”

Zhao Ya was puzzled, “Please enlighten me, Honored Master.”

“A spear can kill ten thousand enemies, but it can also protect all living things!” Yang Kai used one hand to block Zhao Ya’s attack while his other hand reached into the void, his voice continuing to ring out, “Blindly killing will only cause one to lose their mind, everyone should have a sense of self-protection.”

Zhao Ya was confused, “If I don’t kill them, how am I supposed to protect them? If I kill all my enemies, I can naturally protect them!”

“What do you want to protect?” Yang Kai asked, pulling out his Azure Dragon Spear.

“What I want to protect…” Zhao Ya’s confused eyes became clear as she glanced towards the place where Zhao Yebai was standing before casually glancing towards Xu Yi.

Xu Yi was keenly aware of this and his heart filled with sadness, “Hey, Eldest Senior Brother, I seems to be protected along the way.”

“Huh? What?” Zhao Yebai turned his head and asked. As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart as a deathly aura enveloped him.

Before he could react, he heard Zhao Ya’s heart-wrenching scream, “No!”

Zhao Yebai turned his head and saw that his Honored Master had somehow been wrapped up by the Ink Force and had transformed into a Black Ink Disciple, attacking him.
