I Am Supreme
chapter-944

Little Fatty packed up the spiritual jade the fastest he could and organized the many treasured books that Yun Yang had brought back into the martial warehouse. Then, he took two people with him and hurried down the mountain.

Dong Qitian’s gaze was thoughtful as he watched Little Fatty leave, full of ambition, mumbling to himself, ‘Justice must not come cheap? Justice must not come cheap?’

He suddenly heaved a long sigh, “Ah, the human heart…”

…

On the next day, early in the morning, Yun Yang was meditating and cultivating to stabilize his cultivation base that had just touched the Saint level when the mountain guarding formation was triggered.

Shi Wuchen was the first to come back, followed by two middle-aged men. Both of the latter was tall, clad in black; their gazes were piercing, exuding an aloof and unapproachable aura. They were similarly lean and sculpted, equally cold and distant. If it were not for their completely different faces, people would have thought that they were twins.

“Boss, this is Serene Soul of Nine Springs, Kong Luoyue, and this is Young Master of Dark Fog, Shi Bujia.”

The two men who had returned alongside Shi Wuchen were members of the Demiurge-Flawed Ten!

As Yun Yang’s sight shifted to them, both of them wrapped their palms in their fists and chanted in unison, ” Would this be Lord Supreme Cloud?”

Yun Yang returned the gestured with a self-deprecating reply, “I am Yun Yang. The both of you…”

“We’d be delighted to join the Residence of Nine Supremes. May we ask which Supreme we will be titled as?” both men asked simultaneously.

How direct! Yun Yang had not even given his welcoming speech yet.

Rolling his eyes, Yun Yang answered, “It’ll depend on each person’s capability to decide who will take on the mantle of which Supreme… The Residence of Nine Supremes has only two Supremes currently, that is Shi Wuchen as Supreme Sword, and myself. The rest are still undecided.”

“That’s not an issue. We’ll fight based on our capabilities. That would be fair. The both of us still have one request – we hope that Supreme Cloud will agree to it,” said Shi Bujia.

“Do speak,” Yun Yang replied.

“You’re the creator of the Residence of Nine Supremes. It’s only right that you are one of the main Supremes. However, what contribution or merit did Shi Wuchen make that he dares take the place of the second Supreme? We ask for you, the chief Supreme, to cancel Shi Wuchen’s title as the Supreme Sword and for us to contest for it. I believe that this is the unanimous opinion of all the Residence of Nine Supremes’ members!”

“Agreed! Happily so!” Kong Luoyue voiced out with a straight face.

Shi Wuchen was enraged.

“F*ck all of you! I’ve traveled thousands of miles without a single word of complaint despite the effort and invited the two of you with brimming sincerity, yet you burn the bridge after crossing it and shoot arrows right into my back!”

“Hmph…”

“Hmph…”

“We didn’t release the arrows behind your back – we did it right in front of you!”

The two of them certainly resembled a pair of twins as they crossed their arms, giving a mocking glance as they tipped their chins, rolled their eyes, smirked and snorted at the same time.

“Alright, alright. I’m always democratic and ready to listen to everyone’s opinion. When everyone is here after a month, we shall commence the first ranking meet of the Residence of Nine Supremes to see who takes the Supreme titles.”

Yun Yang laughed and continued by saying, “Train hard for the following month, brothers! I’ve also prepared a chief instructor for everyone. He has high expectations, temporarily not having any disciple whom he could regard highly enough to train yet. Instead of everyone not doing anything, work together. You fellows will have to tough it out.”

All three men scoffed at the same time, snickering, “Who is it who actually dares to become our chief trainer? Sure, we’ll train, but it’s hard to say who will be training who…”

“Heh, heh, heh…”

“Chief trainer, heh, heh…”

The three men were resolute, convinced that they were going to strong-arm their instructor when there was an opportunity to do so.

‘Become our chief trainer? Does that not mean his position is above us? Just this title alone is already asking to be beaten up!’

‘Ridiculous!’

Yun Yang coughed and replied, “Time will tell regarding the training, but whoever among you follows who can beat the chief instructor will naturally replace him. Elites will be prioritized in the Residence of Nine Supremes; there’s no intervention to your training exchanges.”

The trio rubbed their palms together with glimmering gazes, coveting the title of being the main instructor.

…

In the small yard, Kong Luoyue fondly caressed the Celestial Amethyst that belonged to him. Despite his effort to maintain his cool image, the corners of his lips were lifted. His joy simply could not be contained.

Shi Bujia, too, was beaming while he stroked the crystal.

Shi Wuchen rolled his eyes in irritation.

“Look at the two of you behaving as if you’ve never seen what this world could offer… You’re really embarrassing the Demiurge-Flawed Ten, do you know that?”

Kong Luoyue sneered and replied with a roll of his eyes as well, “How do I not know about the Demiurge-Flawed Ten’s other title? Are we not embarrassed enough, being beaten by others daily like a dog?”

Shi Bujia chuckled dryly and added, “The Demiurge-Flawed Ten is a humiliating name as of now. It’s amusing that you, Shi Wuchen, are still proud of it. You’re really the odd one, befitting the name of Supreme Despicable!”

“Can we not argue? Imagine our days after entering the Residence of Nine Supremes – do we have any particular plans for the future?” Shi Wuchen asked with a sigh.

Shi Bujia took in a deep breath and answered, “The Demiurge-Flawed Ten’s fate as the whetstone has been going on for years. I’ve had enough of it. It’s just that I never had a choice and still have too many concerns, not daring to simply risk my life. Now that a sect is willing to take us in, we must make full use of this, even if it costs us our lives. I won’t regret it, even if I have to die nine times.”

“That being said, if the Residence of Nine Supremes could prosper, I hope to find the sects that once took us as whetstones and settle the account with them one by one – I will not a single one of them get away!” Kong Luoyue announced with a murderous glare.

Shi Wuchen asked Shi Bujia, “Kong Luoyue has moved his family over. What about you?”

There was a grimace on Shi Bujia’s face.

“I have less fuss than Kong Luoyue. Just last month, she joined the Saint Saber Sect… And I’ve become the Saint Saber Sect’s new whetstone since last month…”

He chuckled self-depreciatingly, “I have no worries or concerns now. What else is there about me?”

Shi Wuchen could not help going silent, only speaking up after some time, “She’ll regret it one day.”

Despondently, Shi Bujia chortled and exclaimed, “I have nothing to ask for anymore, except to have no more regrets for the rest of my life and live and die according to my wishes!”

…

When Dong Qitian woke up from his meditation and probed the vicinity with his deific consciousness, he saw that Yun Yang was already seated in his yard, enjoying a drink by himself.

“Speak. What is it? There must be a reason for you to come to me so fast!”

“Ah, nothing so serious… The first batch of fellows who need special training is here. There are as many as three of them in this batch,” Yun Yang said with a smile, “You’re free anyway, do you want to try your hand out first? Take a look at the trainees I’ve picked for you?”

Dong Qitian rolled his eyes as he answered, “The first batch is here? Doesn’t matter. As long as they can take the training, I don’t mind. This first round of training – does it include you, child?”

Yun Yang nodded and agreed to it easily, “It’ll be four people, including me.”

“Numbers don’t matter either. Any specific requests regarding the training? Is there anything in particular that you want to achieve?”

“Capability!”

“Nothing else matters?”

“Yes, exactly.”

“Good – that’s great.”

When Yun Yang spoke, what he thought was that Residence of Nine Supremes’ overall capacity would definitely increase considerably in a short time under the supervision of such a masterly expert. At the very least, no one would go astray.

In spite of this, Yun Yang did not really know Dong Qitian. He had no idea what type of person Dong Qitian was, nor did he manage to read between the lines of what Dong Qitian had said just now!

As a consequence, he had bundled himself up with Shi Wuchen and the rest into helI with just a few words!
