Supreme Dragon Martial Soul

Chapter 735: Chapter 411: Homecoming, Eight-star Top-level Technique

In the night, Luo Mingshan and Luo Yao walked side by side, with the Ink Scale Beast Carriage following them.

The two of them chatted politely about some trivial matters, and unsurprisingly, the topic shifted to Luo Cheng.

At the mention of Luo Cheng, Luo Mingshan immediately opened up.

Luo Yao glanced at the carriage behind, and didn’t hesitate to offer praises, comparing Luo Cheng to a True Dragon in the sky and a Qilin on the earth. Her words made Luo Mingshan’s face glow, as if he had been rejuvenated by ten years, and he found Luo Yao increasingly cordial, quickly becoming familiar with each other.

Sitting inside the carriage, Luo Cheng heard Luo Yao’s words, feeling embarrassed with flushed ears, and a bit speechless, as he hadn’t noticed such admiration from Luo Yao usually.

Soon, the group returned to Qishan City.

It was already late at night, yet the entire Qishan City was brightly lit, crowded with people, many of whom appeared puzzled or even somewhat anxious.

The earlier commotion was too intense, with some even believing an earthquake had occurred, while others worried about remaining threats from the Blood Nether Sect.

After the great battle that wiped out the Blood Nether Sect’s base, there had been two incidents involving remnants of the sect coming to Qishan City.

Fortunately, the intruders were not very formidable; the strongest was only at the Middle Stage of Awakening Vein Realm, handled easily by Jin Luoming, causing little disturbance.

"Master Luo, what exactly happened?"

Upon seeing Luo Mingshan, everyone respectfully inquired.

With Luo Mingshan breaking through to the Awakening Vein Realm, along with Luo Cheng’s growing reputation, the Luo Family had developed rapidly, becoming the top family in Qishan City, and even extending influence over surrounding cities.

Luo Mingshan’s current prestige ranked second only to City Lord Yun Daojiang.

Luo Mingshan summoned his Essence Energy, letting his voice echo.

"Everyone, nothing major has happened, please disperse!"

Leaving them with these words, Luo Mingshan and Luo Yao turned and proceeded away.

"That’s Lingyun Pavilion’s Ink Scale Beast Carriage!"

The Ink Scale Beast was too noticeable for someone to recognize at a glance.

"Only Lingyun Pavilion’s senior members are qualified to ride the Ink Scale Beast Carriage, and yet it appears in this small Qishan City, it seems they’re visiting the Luo Family."

"Must be because of Luo Cheng!"

"Tsk, I really wonder what blessing the Luo Family ancestors accumulated to have a stunning True Dragon like Luo Cheng appear! Even a genius like Yun Tianyan is no match for him, truly remarkable!"

"Haha, True Dragon? When Luo Cheng awakened a Wasted Martial Soul, and everyone branded him a failure, no one would have thought today would come."

Everyone sighed and marveled at the unpredictability of the world, especially those who once underestimated Luo Cheng, each feeling a complex mix of emotions.

Sometime later, the Ink Scale Beast Carriage landed in the inner courtyard of the Luo Residence.

Luo Hong and a group of Luo Family senior members had already been waiting there.

"Father, what happened..."

As Luo Hong stepped forward, he suddenly noticed Luo Yao, and stared in a daze: "Oh, Miss Luo..."

"It’s nothing. Luo Yao returned to Qishan City and encountered some troublemakers on the way..."

With a smiling face, Luo Mingshan explained.

Luo Yao greeted everyone with a bow and then smiled, "I have returned unexpectedly this time, and brought someone back with me..."

As soon as she finished speaking, the carriage screen lifted, and Luo Cheng stepped out.

Seeing Luo Cheng, everyone instantly froze.

Luo Cheng moved closer and said with a smile: "Father, Grandpa, Uncle..."

Luo Hong, not known for his words, embraced Luo Cheng in a bear hug: "Finally home!"

"Cheng’er!" Luo Mingshan, with reddened eyes, exclaimed with emotion.

Uncle Luo Heng gave Luo Cheng a punch and laughed: "You’re finally back. A while ago, we heard you were going to fight Yun Tianyan to the death, which gave us quite a shock! Your grandpa even planned to go to Yunquan City personally, and halfway there, he heard the battle was over..."

Feeling everyone’s concern, warmth rose in Luo Cheng’s heart, and he apologized: "Sorry for worrying you."

"Haha, as long as you’ve returned safely!"

Luo Mingshan pulled Luo Cheng over and asked: "Did you really defeat Yun Tianyan?"

"Yes. I am now at the Peak of Ninth Layer of Awakening Vein Realm."

Luo Cheng nodded, then ceased concealing his Essence Energy, as a powerful aura spread out, stirring a strong breeze in the courtyard, causing Luo Mingshan and others to step back half a pace involuntarily.

"Peak of Ninth Layer! Next step is the legendary Great Power Level! Truly blessed we are, the fortune of the Luo Family indeed!"

A white-bearded elder from the Luo Family senior generation exclaimed excitedly, with tears in his eyes.

Others were also excited, gazing at Luo Cheng with heated looks, as if admiring a True Dragon in the clouds.

Luo Mingshan was briefly stunned, finding himself speechless for a moment.

The news of Luo Cheng defeating Yun Tianyan had spread throughout Qishan City days ago.

Yet hearing about it was one thing; hearing Luo Cheng herself admitting was entirely another.

The matter was so fantastical, making it seem unbelievable even with widespread talk.

Taking a deep breath, countless words in Luo Mingshan’s heart ultimately became one sentence: "Cheng’er, you’ve worked hard."

The other members of the Luo Family felt the same sentiment as they watched Luo Cheng.

Yun Tianyan was once recognized as the top of the Three Sects Inner Sect, his renown spread throughout the Great Yue Dynasty, truly a child of heaven; previously, Luo Cheng seemed like a mere ant compared to him, bridging their gap was unimaginable.

Luo Cheng, with nothing but a Wasted Martial Soul, rose step by step, even managing to defeat the seasoned genius Yun Tianyan, the journey must be exceedingly difficult.

A path of blood, full of hardship!

Uncle Luo Heng laughed: "Alright, this isn’t the place for conversation, we have honored guests, let’s move to the hall."

"Haha, good! Good! Let’s have someone arrange a feast for Cheng’er’s homecoming..."

"Grandpa."

Luo Cheng interrupted Luo Mingshan, saying: "It’s best not to spread the news of my return."

"Alright."

Understanding Luo Cheng must have his reasons for this, Luo Mingshan immediately ordered to keep the news under wraps.

Not wanting to expose Luo Cheng’s return, Luo Mingshan refrained from elaborate arrangements, instead having a few small dishes prepared for a family reunion.

Having been away for so long, all this made Luo Cheng feel incredibly warm, even ordinary dishes made his mouth water.

After a satisfying meal, Luo Mingshan noticed Luo Cheng had something to say, so he let others leave.

Only Luo Cheng, Luo Mingshan, Luo Hong, Luo Heng, and Luo Yao remained in the hall.

"What! You’re leaving tomorrow morning?"

Surprised and reluctant upon hearing that Luo Cheng was leaving the next morning, Luo Mingshan remarked.

Luo Cheng glanced at Luo Yao and nodded: "I have things to attend to."

Luo Mingshan said nothing more.

With Luo Cheng’s growing strength, he anticipated this day would come.

Now Luo Cheng was capable of taking charge independently, becoming an eagle ready to soar vast skies, naturally the family could not bind him.

Luo Cheng retrieved a secret manual from his storage ring and handed it to Luo Mingshan, "Congratulations on breaking through to the Awakening Vein Realm, Grandpa. This is a gift I prepared for you."

Receiving the manual, Luo Mingshan glanced through it briefly and froze: "Ah! An Eight-star Technique! A top-level Eight-star Technique!"

"What! Eight-star Technique!"
