I Am Supreme
chapter-308

Chun Wanfeng chipped in as well, "Boss, everyone knows that you’re the bigger person but you don’t have to sacrifice yourself just to be considerate of Dong Tianleng’s dignity. We all know what sort of standard the Phantom Vulture is…"

Xia Bingchuan agreed hastily, "That’s right, exactly so…"

Yun Yang nodded, his smile exceptionally gentle. "Oh no, you have misunderstood me; I really want to try cultivating it, see if I can train that little critter to grow up feeding on something else… if I can really change the little creature's innate habits and ultimately domesticate it. After all, the Phantom Vulture itself is a flying mystical beast with remarkable combat power; its overall characteristics aren’t too bad. Keeping in mind it's poisonous nature, everything else should be easily done."

He then pointed at his pocket and said, "See, I’ve just fed the little critter with an apple and it’s sleeping now after being fed. It doesn’t exude any putridity at all, so it’s enough evidence that my inference might actually work wonders..."

The four great young masters stared at the Phantom Vulture that was now curled up into a ball in Yun Yang’s pocket and dropped their jaws, unable to close their gaping mouths.

How could this possibly work?

Wasn't it a bit too fast and far too effective?

"I’ve given it a nice name too. I've called it Jiji," Yun Yang said, chuckling.

The four of them were dumbstruck at once. This name was great indeed, terribly apt!

"Boss is brilliant indeed, ingenious and foresighted, cunning and profound!"

Dong Tianleng kept his compliments coming on strong. "Boss can actually predict the future, he knows that we would eat the Luminary Paste today for... cough… Jiji. He has actually named the bird first! I’m utterly impressed by boss’ profound intelligence…"

Qiu Yunsan and the rest of the men felt waves of revulsion wash over them.

What should we say about you pandering like this? Are you singing high or low praises with your bootlicking?

"Yes… Boss is brilliant…" The three of them looked constipated as they uttered the words almost reluctantly.

Never mind. With Dong Tianleng starting off that way, we can't afford to be rude.

Yun Yang glanced at the four men in disdain and said in cold tones, "I’ve never met anyone as shameless as the four of you."

The four of them looked dejected like they had encountered some form of unspoken despair.

"Oh right, where was I just now?" Yun Yang knocked his head.

"Boss, you were saying that you’ve named it Jiji. It’s an excellent name that befits the situation," Xia Bingchuan answered enthusiastically. The intention to flatter was brimming in his words while he wore a simpering expression.

Yun Yang glared as he said, "Dong Tianleng, you don’t have any mystical beast offspring to nurture. Your family didn’t send you any new offspring have they? However, I can’t possibly let you suffer a loss by accepting your gift."

Before he resumed his words, Yun Yang’s hand clenched as a sword appeared within his grip.

This was a sword that looked like a belt; it was as soft as a snake. A simple wave would make it flutter in the air.

"Take this sword." Yun Yang said, "Call it your compensation or as a returning gift for the little critter that you’ve given to me, this sword is yours now. I inadvertently obtained this treasured sword, Spirited Kau, and I don’t usually use it. It would make a great belt."

Without Yun Yang’s further introduction, the three noble young masters, other than Dong Tianleng, heard the name and felt their eyes falling out of their sockets, so widely were they opened.

As for the family experts who were watching the sky, unable to listen to their previous conversation, they could not help but turn their heads as well, staring intently at the sword in Dong Tianleng’s hand.

Dong Tianleng himself was in a stupor currently, his mind was blank as he held the treasured sword, Spirited Kau!

"Spirited Kau?" Chun Wanfeng shouted, almost insane from the envy which turned into jealousy which turned into hatred. "Boss… this is the legendary treasured sword, Spirited Kau? You’re… giving it to him just like that? To Dong Tianleng?"

Not only did Chun Wanfeng lose his composure, Xia Bingchuan and Qiu Yunsan were also looking like they were on the verge of breaking down. The disbelief on their faces was evident of how unimaginable the entire scenario was.

"Why was I not chosen?"

"Why not give it to me?"

"He’s Dong Tianleng… what greatness does he have to possess the treasured sword, Spirited Kau?!"

"Boss… your decision itself is a reckless waste of God’s gift, you’ve humiliated this divine weapon!"

The three noble young masters were devastated!

"The treasured sword, Spirited Kau, is said to be the weapon of The Daemon of the Sword, Linghu Buchong, who always carried it with him three thousand and five hundred years ago. This sword is mainly made up of extraterrestrial metal, Wrapping Sidesilver; other than its unmatched sharpness that could easily shred steel, it’s soft and flexible. When using it, jerking it against the wind makes it invincibly solid while it can be wrapped around the waist when not in use as a belt… It’s convenient and remarkably stealthy to be brought around – a divine weapon to kill at any time and in any place!"

A ninth peak expert from the Dong Family stared at the sword in Dong Tianleng’s hands as he said, shaking in delight, "This sword has long become the legend of Tianxuan’s famous swords and is even ranked as one of the top ten fantasy swords acknowledged by Tiantan’s swordsmen for hundreds and thousands of years! It’s been at least three thousand years since this sword last greeted the world. Ever since Linghu Buchong retired from the martial world and disappeared, there hasn't been any news about this sword. Who would have known that it has re-emerged now and would belong to my young master! What a good sword! It’s an impeccable pair for this sword to suit my young master… Young Master Yun is wonderful in recognizing talents and bringing them up; how wise and graceful of you!"

Chun Wanfeng and gang were growing more desperate as they chided, "Nonsense, nonsense! Dong Tianleng is only worthy of being amazingly sleazy! How can be he be worthy of this sword?"

The turn of events was thrilling, but ferociously so. As they were caught in the turmoil of emotions, the three young masters had completely forgotten about their basic respect towards their seniors.

"You three people are the petty and contemptible ones! Off with your unadulterated envy turned jealousy turned hatred! God blesses the kind. This sword is mine now anyway, what can you do about it?"

Dong Tianleng kept the sword with a swoosh, his grip on it tight. He then beamed brightly. "Thank you, boss for bestowing the sword on me!"

Yun Yang replied with a straight face, "It would be the greatest thanks to me if you don’t misuse this sword."

The sword was found among He Hanqing’s possessions prior to this. It was, of course, a divine weapon to most of the masses but to Yun Yang who already had Divine Edge, this sword was not much of a help. After all, it could not even compare to Divine Edge so he did not regard it highly.

In addition, he had Emmie’s strong assistance. He could get however many swords like this if he wanted; it would be effortless to even obtain weapons of better quality than this treasured sword, Spirited Kau. Naturally, he had no appreciation of the sword and did not care for the sword’s reputation. It did not bother him in the slightest to give it away.

More so, being able to end the supposed fate between Dong Tianleng and the fledging was more than worth the price.

However, the value of this transaction made the other three noble young masters green with envy as they looked at Yun Yang.

Oh, boss… This was like offering a bright pearl to pure darkness!

The three of them felt disheartened as if they no longer bore any hope for this life.

How could such a divine item be given to Dong Tianleng? They would have felt a little better if the sword had been tossed into a refuse heap.

The three young masters’ resentful gazes made Yun Yang uncomfortable.

"Okay, okay. The mystical beast training starts now. You may be idle, but I still have a lot of things to do!" Yun Yang announced.

Dong Tianleng retrieved Spirited Kau without any sense of shame and waved it around. As mystical Qi engulfed the treasured sword, the sword straightened and turn solid as steel with a clang, gleaming with an icy chill.

Seeing how it worked, Dong Tianleng was delighted. Retracting his mystical Qi, the sword softened at once, just like a real snake.

"It can become a whip when the mystical Qi is not used. What a gem!" Dong Tianleng feigned shock at the discovery.

"It seems that it can be used as a saber too!"

"Or a stick…"

"Oh sh*t, it can even…"

"And even…"

Dong Tianleng waved his sword all around, with exaggerated motions.

The three other young masters glared at him as they watched the scene, coming close to dashing over and killing him to take over the weapon!

"Young master, one must not flaunt his fortune in case of others’ jealousy," an expert of Dong Family reminded the excited young man.

"Right you are! We must be wary of despicable ones!" Dong Tianleng heeded the advice and pulled the belt he wore off with a swoosh, before throwing it aside without a care. With a subsequent clack, he wrapped the Spirited Kau around his waist.

The grip of the treasured sword had coincidentally become the belt’s buckle. It resembled the head of a flood dragon, flaunting its valiance.

Dong Tianleng stuck his stomach out and walked around a few times with arms on his back, speaking with self-pride and delight, "Do I have the mannerism of The Daemon of Sword? Do I look like the legend reincarnated?"

The rest of the audience felt the muscles in their face twitch uncontrollably.

He did not own any of the mannerisms of The Daemon of Sword but would probably have plenty of mannerisms of the Daemon of Sleaziness.

"Fortune must not be flaunted... what an honest opinion!"

Dong Tianleng wore the belt outside, over his even longer garment. He patted the belt buckle and said beaming, "Especially in front of these three fellows, all the more good things can’t be flaunted. Who knows if one of them has an ulterior motive and decides to target me?"

He stroked the Spirited Kau fondly, his eyes almost disappearing from how his wide grin. "Not only will they prey on me, they will really try to snatch it away. It’s better to prevent this."

The rest were speechless.

Aren’t you already flaunting it, being so boastful? It’s only logical that we rob you!

"Your father has had enough! Aren’t you f*cking flaunting right now!" Qiu Yunsan said vehemently, "Why don't you flaunt it when you’ve taken off all your clothes and wrapped this sword around your tiny penis?"

Dong Tianleng turned a deaf ear, strolling in front of his friends with unadulterated joy. The grip of the treasured sword, Spirited Kau, shone under the sun, stinging the spectator’s eyes.

"Great!"

"Comfortable it is!"

"I like it so much!"

"I am thoroughly fond of it…"

"This is my sword! Mine!"

Dong Tianleng wiggled his buttocks as he sashayed before Chun Wanfeng and the rest with all sorts of unsightly mannerisms.

"My, how f*cking sleazy!"
