Chapter 130 – Great Transformation of Marrow Cleansing (Part One)

In the far north of the Southern Kingdom, a land of abundant fertility, this region had been a strategic stronghold contested by nobles and generals for millennia.

Upon a certain mountain slope, layered buildings stood against the terrain, resembling a coiled white dragon from afar.

This was the foundation of the Southern Yuan Family Estate.

Inside the main hall.

Dozens of middle-aged and elderly men sat in two parallel rows, all dressed in loose linen garments that revealed their muscular, powerful arms.

As the atmosphere grew increasingly oppressive, their grim expressions seemed dark enough to drip ink.

“If this young man is truly as Elder Cheng Hu described, then this matter cannot be resolved peacefully!”

“Indeed, not even twenty years old yet he already shows such arrogance and disrespect. What will become of him in the future? Therefore, I propose we teach him a lesson and show the world our means of retaliation.”

“Well said! If we take no action and this spreads, where will the Xingyi Sect’s dignity remain?”

As suggestions flew back and forth across the hall, the Yuan Patriarch seated at the head pondered momentarily before suddenly striking the table three times with his palm. “It seems over the past century, the world has forgotten the terror of our Xingyi Sect. It’s time to display our heritage.”

Then his tone shifted, radiating overwhelming authority: “To dare lay hands on someone from the Yuan Family—he shall pay a heavy price for this.”

“Patriarch, I request to take action.”

“Why trouble Elder Fang Long with this matter? Leave it to us Three Fiends. It’s been so many years since we last moved, our old bones are nearly rusted, hahaha…”

“Do not let your guard down. For one so young to possess such skills indicates he must have powerful backing.”

Hearing this, the Yuan Patriarch made the final decision: “Very well, since the Three Fiends Elders are willing, for the Yuan Family’s prestige, go teach him a lesson. Also deliver this message on my behalf: the Yuan Family is not some trivial entity that any stray dog can provoke… Additionally, as a precaution, Elder Fang Hui shall accompany you.”

“Yes!!!”

“This old man shall make the trip immediately!”

Meanwhile, the Northern Ma’s retaliation proved even more ruthless, remarkably dispatching an Innate Elder.

Elsewhere, Ye Kuang had returned to campus, unaware that a crisis was gradually approaching him.

Inside the dormitory.

Ye Kuang: “Gao Qing, if someone insists on picking a fight with you, what should I do?”

As he spoke, he picked up the freshly cooked instant noodles and began devouring them hungrily.

Pang Hu: “What else? Fight back if you can win, run if you can’t.”

Gao Qing: “From the sound of it, you’ve encountered some trouble? Haha…”

Zheng Xiucai: “Him? He’s lucky if he doesn’t cause trouble for others. Who would dare pick a fight with him?”

Ye Kuang: “…”

Though he remained silent, his furrowed brows carried an invisible shadow of gloom.

Noticing this, Gao Qing couldn’t help but ask curiously: “You haven’t caused trouble again, have you? Who is it this time?”

Hearing this, Zheng Xiucai and Fat Tiger suddenly grew interested, both turning questioning gazes toward him.

Regarding Ye Kuang, the three of them actually harbored both admiration and envy—not only had he won the beauty’s heart, but he was also a damned martial arts master possessing Ultimate Skills.

One could say any passionate young man in this situation would find it impossible to remain indifferent.

Yet they truly hadn’t expected that even Ye Kuang would have moments of worry.”This is exactly what I was about to mention. So, I’ve been pondering something, though I’m unsure if I should speak of it.” Ye Kuang sighed after draining his noodle soup in one gulp.

Upon hearing this, the three—Gao Qing and the others—exchanged curious glances.

Clearly, they were baffled by someone’s melancholy state of mind.

“Sometimes in this world, two fists are no match for four hands. I was wondering… are any of you interested in Martial Studies?” Ye Kuang suddenly asked.

Having said this, he abruptly fell silent, believing that with their intelligence, they would surely grasp the deeper meaning behind his words.

Sure enough, Gao Qing couldn’t help but spring to his feet upon hearing this, growing visibly excited: “From what you’re saying, it sounds like you have a way for us to learn martial arts! But how is that even possible…”

Before Fat Tiger and Zheng Xiucai could speak, Ye Kuang’s expression turned solemn as he declared: “Exactly!”

Hiss, hiss, hiss…

Pang Hu’s eyes also lit up with intrigue, and he murmured inexplicably: “What method is there?”

But as he spoke, Fat Tiger suddenly paused mid-sentence, clearly realizing the impropriety of bluntly asking for details. Adopting a serious demeanor, he continued: “Since we’re all classmates and roommates, why not speak frankly? We may not be saints, but we’re far from villains. What method can make us stronger? Perhaps in the future, we might even be able to help you.”

Hearing this, Ye Kuang glanced at Gao Qing and Zheng Xiucai, understanding that further explanations were pointless. He then produced the Nine Yin Manual from his robes.

“Eh… a secret manual?”

“Hmm? It really does look like one.”

“This is the Nine Yin Manual? Holy crap…”

Witnessing their reactions, Ye Kuang couldn’t help but sigh again: “You might not believe it, but this manual is genuine. How can you three bear the title of Tycoons if it’s unearned? Dare you join me in conquering the world?”

Gao Qing: “You make it sound so real—is this actually legitimate? Let me see first…”

Ye Kuang: “Heh… You don’t have to believe it. If you don’t, just return it.”

“Hehe, not a chance. I’m claiming this Nine Yin White Bone Claw,” declared Zheng Xiucai.

“In that case, the Lingbo Steps are mine,” said Gao Qing.

“Myriad Tribulations Undying? That sounds exaggerated! But I like it,” remarked Pang Hu.

Retrieving the remaining six manuals, Ye Kuang asked with deliberate gravity: “Once you embark on this path, there’s no turning back. Are you certain?”

“Isn’t that obvious?”

“Teach us quickly!”

“Hahaha… Hurry up! I want to battle heaven, earth, and all the demons in the world…”

Hearing their enthusiasm, Ye Kuang’s lips curled into an inexplicable smirk as he retorted impatiently: “What’s the rush? Originally, you’d never have succeeded in Meridian Cleansing. But with me here, today I’ll expend thirty years of my cultivation to overcome all obstacles for you!”

Then, he inevitably asked: “Who’s going first?”

Fat Tiger: “I’ll go. I can hardly wait.”

Seeing the three sit cross-legged in a circle, Ye Kuang couldn’t help but laugh and shake his head.

Immediately after, he pressed a hand against Pang Hu’s crown point and suddenly barked: “If it hurts a little, endure it like a man!”

Fat Tiger: “Stop yapping and just do it… Ah… damn it…”

Hearing this, Ye Kuang let out a strange cry: “Hold him down for me…”

Sizzle, sizzle, sizzle!For a moment, once the layers of True Qi surged forth, they were like arrows shot from a bow—there was no turning back.

It could be said that no one had ever expected Ye Kuang to take up the task of performing Marrow Cleansing for others.
