The Clan Master Can’t possibly Be A Mortal

Chapter 143: Chapter 143 Brother Flathead Awakens, Ancestral Form Returns
The flying boat glided slowly.

Yan Ruyu was already very tired and naturally leaned against Ye Feng’s broad and solid back, falling into a deep sleep.

Ye Feng wanted to move Yan Ruyu aside, but worried about waking her, he could only sit stiffly at the bow of the boat, daring not to move an inch.

Mo Ying stood holding her sword, quietly observing.

After a moment, Ye Feng asked in his mind, “System, why has the Heroic Spirit Power increased so much tonight? Up until now, it has already increased by sixty percent. If it continues to rise, just with the Heroic Spirit Power alone, I’ll be comparable to the second layer of the Element Gathering Realm.”

“The Heroic Spirit Power is the remnant strength of the predecessors left between heaven and earth. Under normal circumstances, one may receive the Heroic Spirit Power and become the Chosen One if they perform deeds in accordance with the Heavenly Dao and possess fortune,” the System answered.

The System continued, “As the Sect Prestige Value increases, the fortune carried on the Sect Leader’s shoulders is continuously growing. Furthermore, having carried out the act of saving tens of thousands from disaster tonight, it is only natural to receive more of the Heroic Spirit Power.”

After listening to the System’s explanation, Ye Feng had an epiphany, “So, as long as I continue to do good deeds and improve the Sect’s prestige, I can become stronger and stronger?”

System: “Yes.”

Ye Feng then asked, “The Heroic Spirit Power is carried by the Five Elements Spirit Bead, but it is only a Middle Grade Spiritual Artifact. Doesn’t that mean my power will have a ceiling?”

“There is no ceiling.”

“Why not?”

“The Five Elements Spirit Bead has been shattered and later repaired by the Heroic Spirit Power, undergoing a transformation. As it absorbs more and more Heroic Spirit Power, the bead itself will be upgraded and has the potential to become a Postnatal Supreme Treasure,” the System explained.

“Is that even possible?”

Ye Feng was surprised.

In the time that followed, Ye Feng began to acquaint himself with the increased Heroic Spirit Power, which was tantamount to consolidating his realm until he reached the point where he could wield it effortlessly.

Ancient Town of Quicksand.

Huo Yunjie and Baixue Ding sat face to face, drinking and enjoying the grilled kidneys left by Ye Feng, finding them quite delicious.

Both still eager for more, they grilled a large bunch of chives.

Center of the ancient town.

The ruins of the Demon-locking Tower had been cleared, and eight disciples took out Black Iron stones prepared in advance from their Storage Belts, to rebuild the Demon-locking Tower. Elder Yue Mu then set up a large formation.

From then on, the Demon-locking Tower was restored.

Elder Yue Mu looked at the newly refurbished pagoda, suppressed another High-rank Demon Soldier Level Monster Beast within, set a special slumber curse, and wrapped it with the Demon Binding Chains, just like the usual arrangements.

“The mission is completed to perfection, let’s return to the Sect!”

Elder Yue Mu jumped onto the flying boat, leading the eight disciples back.

By the time Ye Feng arrived at Misty Peak, it was already midnight, yet the disciples had not slept, each sitting on the rooftops, looking out eagerly.

“The Sect Leader is back!”

Long Tianxing, with keen eyesight, spotted Ye Feng first.

“Yo! You haven’t gone to bed yet? That’s good, let’s have some late-night snacks together.” Ye Feng smiled, laying out the food he had packed from the snack street in Sanyuan City on the table. The rich aroma of meat spread out, making even the Spiritual Beasts drool with desire.

“The Sect Leader is really nice!”

The disciples praised him and immediately started eating.

Watching his disciples eat to their hearts’ content, Ye Feng felt a sense of ease and jumped onto the rooftop to open the System panel and check the progress of tasks.

“The Sect Prestige Value has already broken through fifteen thousand, truly ferocious! It seems to increase by several hundred almost every day, a pity it’s still far from one hundred thousand.”

“Huh! Little White Fox and Dog Er Ha have both reached Middle Rank Demon Soldier Level, they’re progressing quite fast.”

“Iron Claw Dragon Eagle and Fox Da Hong are near the peak of Middle Rank Demon Soldier Level, not far from reaching High-rank Demon Soldier Level.”

“Among the twelve disciples under my wing, Shi Lei, Huo Yunjie, and Li Jiaojiao have reached one-third of their task progress, not bad.”

“Mo Ying and Long Tianxing are the quickest to complete the assessment, becoming external disciples.”

“Ru Yu successfully treated Yun Jie, and her mission progress is more than half complete.”

“As for the rest, Jia Yulan, Xia He, Qiu Ju, Ouyang Feng, Ouyang Yu, and Qiao Jiaxi are lagging behind in task progress, and they probably won’t finish until the beginning of next month.”

“Especially Jia Xi, unless she gets her hands on some Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures, it’s questionable whether she can break through to the sixth layer of Body Refinement within a month.”

But, Ye Feng wasn’t in a hurry.

He had basically completed the two most difficult tasks of the Sect Leader’s second stage, and with three months at his disposal, less than half a month had passed. His progress was incredibly fast.

Late in the night.

The disciples, having eaten their fill, mostly returned to their rooms to rest.

Qiao Jiaxi was very diligent, lifting stones to practice body refinement in the middle of the night, muttering to herself about “five more times, I must persist” and the like.

Ye Feng sat on the rooftop and noticed Mo Ying knocking on Li Jiaojiao’s door, possibly to share some secrets.

Nothing noteworthy happened the rest of the night.

The next morning, the disciples started cultivating bright and early.

“Wow, roar!”

An ear-splitting roar sounded out of the blue, attracting everyone’s attention.

Ye Feng quickly got up to look and immediately burst out laughing.

In the backyard.

Brother Flathead stood upright, around one meter tall, with a super-sized red embroidered bellyband draped over its back, which had become a unique cape rustling in the wind, making it look quite silly.

At this point, Brother Flathead, in addition to growing taller, stronger, and having shinier fur, hadn’t transformed into human form!

“System, what’s going on?” Ye Feng hurriedly asked.

“Brother Flathead chose the Ancestral Training Method, remaining in its demonic beast form at all times. Although it’s unable to speak the human language, it has developed Spiritual Sense and can communicate with people without any obstacles,” explained the System.

“Ancestral Training Method… what’s the use of that?” Ye Feng was confused.

“Resilient, high stamina, strong fighting power.”

Hearing this explanation, the corner of Ye Feng’s mouth twitched. He thought to himself that Brother Flathead truly lived up to its name. It didn’t seize the opportunity to transform but chose Ancestral Training to become even more formidable in combat.

“Wow! Brother Flathead has awakened.”

“Look, it’s actually wearing a red embroidered bellyband!”

“Senior Sister Jiaojiao, is this yours?”

“Long Tianxing, are you asking for a beating? Look how big it is!”

The disciples surrounded Brother Flathead, discussing its appearance at length.

Upon hearing this, Brother Flathead cocked its head proudly, slowly floating into the air, its cape fluttering in the wind, looking like a true warrior!

“Such a strong aura. Brother Flathead can now at least withstand a solid fight against someone in the second or third layer of the Element Gathering Realm, right?” thought Mo Ying to herself.

Brother Flathead was known for its resilience. After advancing to the Demon Soldier Level, it didn’t choose to transform but remained in its Ancestral form, which would undoubtedly make its defense even stronger.

In Mo Ying’s view, she might have even underestimated Brother Flathead.

“Brother Flathead, why didn’t you choose to transform?” Long Tianxing asked, looking up at Brother Flathead curiously.

“Hmph!”

Brother Flathead let out a haughty snort, gazing at the profound sky and broadcasting its Spiritual Sense.

“Transforming would only hinder my fighting!” This message appeared out of nowhere in the minds of all people and spiritual beasts present.

“That’s so Brother Flathead!” First, the disciples marveled at Brother Flathead’s extraordinary ability to develop Spiritual Sense, and then they were all rendered speechless.

“Roar!” Brother Flathead, hovering in mid-air, let out a deafening sound that even reached Whitefloat City, several miles away, startling the residents.

Many cultivators were frightened by the roar, scrambling to rooftops, on the alert for any signs of an invading army of demonic beasts.

“It’s a formidable Demon Soldier Level demon beast!”

“Could it be that the Demon General of Fuyun Gloomy Forest has become enraged and is about to strike at Whitefloat City?”

The leaders of the sects were alarmed.

At the City Lord’s Mansion, the Deputy City Lord and Lu Shanyue heard Brother Flathead’s roar, looking puzzled. They felt the voice was somewhat familiar, as if they had heard it somewhere before, but they couldn’t recall where in that short moment.

Tat-tat-tat!

At this moment, footsteps echoed into the City Lord’s Mansion, catching the attention of the Deputy City Lord and Lu Shanyue. They promptly got up to see what was happening.
