Chapter 51: Mengyuan Prince Wants to Drink
February 9, 2013 Author: Gu Zhenren
“I didn’t expect the final outcome to be the Little Arrow God admitting defeat due to exhaustion.”
“That was inevitable. Both sides unleashed such fierce attacks, which placed a heavy burden on the demonic creatures’ demonic essence and their own spirit energy.”
“Chu Yun’s invisible demonic creatures were too sharp, forcing the Little Arrow God to evade with peerless movement techniques, consuming a vast amount of stamina and ultimately affecting the battle.”
Many outsiders felt sorry for the Little Arrow God, while the Shu Family’s people were overjoyed. Among various forces like the Tie Family, Ma Family, and Wei Family, many naturally had gloomy expressions. They had hoped for Chu Yun’s defeat, wanting others to diminish his prestige. But fate did not comply; Chu Yun won.
“With Chu Yun defeating the Little Arrow God, among the younger generation, only the Jade Scholar might have a chance to match him! When did this Archipelago start producing a young prodigy who could stand at the peak of Xingzhou?” an outsider marveled. The Archipelago, having endured prolonged warfare, suffered severe internal resource depletion. Such an exceptional young person had not appeared in hundreds of thousands of years.
“Our Young Island Master is indeed the most powerful. Look, even the Little Arrow God is no match for Chu Yun and conceded defeat.” Every member of the Shu Family stood tall, looking down on everyone else with pride.
“Losing to the Little Tyrant back then was not a disgrace either.” Even the Yan Family members nodded in agreement. Since surrendering to the Shu Family, under Yan Que’s management, they had gradually integrated into the Shu Family.
“Chu Yun has made a powerful return. What are we to do? The Shu Family is like a tiger lying in wait; Shu Tianhao and Huang Xiao already put immense pressure on us. Now even Chu Yun has returned.” Many island forces neighboring Shu Island were deeply worried, their faces etched with concern. Chu Yun displayed the combat power of five Spirit Monsters, reaching the pinnacle of martial power in the Archipelago. The impact was immense. Amidst the myriad emotions of various forces, this highly anticipated battle of geniuses across the islands finally concluded.
“Little Arrow God, don’t leave so quickly. Come to my Young Island Master’s manor for a few drinks.” Chu Yun invited him directly after the battle.
Meng Yuan Prince gave a wry smile, “In front of you, Little Tyrant, how dare I call myself the Little Arrow God? My surname is Meng, my given name is Fei. From now on, Little Tyrant can just call me by my real name.” His arrogance had been completely shattered by this battle, and his words carried a hint of sincerity.
Chu Yun felt a surge of goodwill. Most talented individuals possessed arrogance and an unwillingness to admit defeat. However, this Little Arrow God could lose gracefully and was open-minded. He immediately said, “Then Brother Meng, please don’t call me Little Tyrant either. I’ve brought some excellent wine this time; we must have a good drink.”
“Hahaha, excellent! If even Brother Chu considers it good wine, I, Meng Fei, must try it!” The Meng Yuan Prince threw his head back and laughed heartily, though his heart was also in turmoil. Although he was the youngest among the princes, he had been exceptionally intelligent and talented since childhood, making him a nationally recognized and highly anticipated genius in the Meng Yuan Nation. Throughout his life, he had never lost in contests against peers. This crushing defeat by Chu Yun was his first. The taste of defeat was naturally unpleasant, especially admitting it voluntarily.
“Hehehe, when it comes to drinking, my capacity has always been excellent. Several of my royal brothers can’t match me. Brother Chu, you should be careful.” Defeated on the battlefield, he aimed to win on the drinking field. Meng Fei was full of fighting spirit before drinking. This naive child didn’t know Chu Yun’s terrifying capabilities. The Drunken Snow Saber’s spiritual energy feedback made Chu Yun’s alcohol tolerance incredibly high. Even the ancient Tribulation Demon, the Riot Ape King, was no match for Chu Yun.
“This! Can we drink directly from the wine jars? Chu Yun’s style is truly hearty…” Upon seeing the drinking vessels, the Meng Yuan Prince was greatly astonished.
“I can’t, I can’t! Brother Chu, are you a monster? You’ve drunk just as much as I have, if not more, and you don’t even have a trace of alcohol on your breath?” After three rounds, the Meng Yuan Prince conceded defeat once more.
“Brother Chu, please stop pouring. Junior brother hereby admits defeat. Oh, right, I have official business to attend to on this trip.” After seven rounds of drinking, he collapsed on the floor, fast asleep. Chu Yun, however, remained unfazed, his heart calm, his eyes as clear as water. These drinks were merely a drizzle to him. When he had a drinking contest with the Riot Ape King, they had used wine vats. Furthermore, with the Tribulation Demon’s spiritual energy feeding back, his physical and soul condition had strengthened immensely. This amount of alcohol was nothing; drinking it was like not drinking at all.
“Guards, help Prince Meng Fei to his bed and let him rest well.” He instructed those around him and stood up, walking out as if nothing had happened, under the admiring gaze of the servants.
In a little over two months, Shu Family City had become three times more prosperous and lively! Chu Yun, feeling invigorated, strolled through the city, witnessing a scene of thriving prosperity. The main streets were bustling with people. The commercial streets were lined wall-to-wall with shops, their banners fluttering in the wind. Street vendors, playing children, busy adults, and young men and women on dates formed a tapestry of life. Chu Yun did not cause a commotion; with his current influence, his public appearance would inevitably lead to chaos. He wrapped himself in the Colorless Rainbow Demon, like an invisible man, wandering at leisure.
Shu Family City, meticulously planned by Master Yu Ya in collaboration with Yan Que, was exceptionally well-designed. It was once just a dirt town but now showed signs of transforming into a metropolis. Chu Yun knew that, according to the Shu Family’s high-level plans, this city would become a prosperous seaside metropolis. Meanwhile, the Shu Family’s new main city was under construction, its scale grand, several times larger than Huode City. This massive city, built according to a volcano, was personally overseen by Master of Weapon Forging Yu Ya. It ingeniously utilized geothermal energy. Once completed, it would become a mecca for weapon refiners, rivaling Steam Cage Island. It would also serve as a communication hub for the underground world. The underground world was also being developed in an orderly fashion. Every day, it brought immense profits and vast resources to Shu Island.
Deeper still in the underground world lay the Fire Sea Cave, where a flourishing Boundless Wood grew. Beneath this Demonic Plant, which was the luck of the Fire Deities King in his year, also resided a Tribulation Demon, the Wrathful Ming King.
After a short stroll, Chu Yun left Shu Family City and arrived at Huode City. “Hmm? Huode City has been built so quickly! It’s almost completed?” Chu Yun, revealing himself, was greatly astonished upon seeing Huode City. The city was built according to the mountain, vast in scale, stretching from the mountain peak to the foothills. Its red brick walls and bronze accents, with an architectural style from the ancient era, were rustic yet noble, magnificent yet grand. It resembled a coppery dragon coiled around the mountains, exuding an aura of world domination.
“As the construction of Huode City progressed, its scale continued to grow. If we were to build it from scratch, it would likely take decades. However, we dismantled the bronze city ruins from the Yan Family’s main island. The architectural methods of that ancient era are now lost. By combining ancient and modern techniques, not only has the construction progress greatly increased, but it has also resulted in exceptionally strong defenses,” Master Yu Ya explained to Chu Yun.
“So that’s how it is.” Chu Yun recalled the ruins that emerged from the ground when they attacked the Yan Family. At that time, it had indeed astonished him. Moreover, the Fire Copper Golem that guarded the ruins had caused significant casualties to the Shu Family. Now, Huode City, utilizing ancient secret construction materials and combined with new methods, was practically impregnable.
“By the way, I’m giving you these weapon forging manuals. I obtained them from the Jade Scholar in Yao Shan Kingdom after killing him. Please, Uncle Yu Ya, keep this a secret for me.” Chu Yun handed over most of the spoils from his kill to Yu Ya. Yu Ya’s character was trustworthy, and if the Jade Scholar disappeared for too long, these weapon forging techniques could not be easily revealed and required careful handling. Chu Yun simply told him the truth.
“Even the Jade Scholar was defeated by the Young Island Master?” Yu Ya was naturally surprised again. He glanced deeply at Chu Yun and sighed, “I knew from the beginning, Young Island Master, that you were no ordinary person. I never imagined you would be the undisputed number one of the younger generation.” He then briefly perused the manuals and exclaimed with joy, “Excellent! These weapon forging manuals are treasures of each Academy, all secret and not to be passed down. With these techniques, I can add another three points to Huode City’s defenses. These manuals are too hot to handle; once I’ve fully mastered them, I will destroy them myself. And when I use them, I will disguise the origins. Young Island Master, rest assured.”
“Yes.” Chu Yun nodded. “This is the first matter I asked of you, Uncle. The second is to ask you to build several large Gem Secret Passages that can transport to the Endless Forest in Yao Shan Kingdom. The third is to construct eight Celestial Altars.”
“Gem Secret Passages that can directly transport to Yao Shan Kingdom? The distance is too great; large passages won’t suffice; they must be colossal. However, constructing these requires personnel and time. Each one will take at least three months to build.” Yu Ya frowned in thought, then suddenly looked up, startled. “Celestial Altars? I didn’t hear correctly. Young Island Master, you’ve mastered the construction methods for Celestial Altars?”
“Actually, Celestial Altars and Earth Altars are not too different. I have indeed mastered them,” Chu Yun admitted calmly. He had learned the method for constructing Celestial Altars from the Ten Thousand Beasts King’s experience scrolls. In the scroll, the Ten Thousand Beasts King listed various Spirit Energy Contracts. The Guardian Contract section included not only Earth and Celestial Altars but also Star Altars, Water Altars, and more, tailored for different geographical environments. Chu Yun explained the method for constructing Celestial Altars to Yu Ya.
Yu Ya was shocked, “No wonder Celestial Altars have gradually disappeared. Some of the materials are extremely rare. However, if we mobilize the Shu Family’s financial resources to acquire them, it would be possible. This way, the cost of each Celestial Altar will be extremely high. Good heavens, each Celestial Altar will cost nearly one-tenth of Huode City’s budget.”
“I didn’t expect the final outcome to be the Little Arrow God’s concession.”
“That was inevitable. Both sides unleashed such fierce attacks, which placed a heavy burden on the demonic creatures’ demonic essence and their own spirit energy.”
“Chu Yun’s invisible demonic creatures were too sharp, forcing the Little Arrow God to evade with peerless movement techniques, consuming a vast amount of stamina and ultimately affecting the battle.”
