I Break through Crazily

Tang Haotian believed that with Tang Yi’s strength, enrolling in the West Mansion was a sure thing. He could easily become an Outer Mansion Disciple, and perhaps even have a chance to enter the Inner Mansion and become an Inner Mansion Disciple.

With the talent Tang Yi had shown, as long as he continued to grow, he might even become a high-ranking member of the West Mansion in the future.

If he became a high-ranking member of the West Mansion, the Tang Family’s position in Fengyue City would become even more stable, and the family would grow even stronger.

This would be extremely beneficial for Tang Yi, and equally so for the Tang Family.

Tang Yi joining the West Mansion would be a win-win situation for both him and the Tang Family.

”But...” Tang Yi hesitated, not agreeing right away.

To him, going to the West Mansion wasn’t a good option.

Going to the Wind Moon Forest to level up alone was the best course of action. Not only could he keep the Battle God System a secret, but he could also increase his strength rapidly.

He didn’t need conventional meditation or cultivation, nor did he need the resources the West Mansion could provide. Therefore, going to the West Mansion served no purpose for him.

”But what? Yi’Er, you must understand that this is an opportunity for you, and it’s an opportunity for our Tang Family as well. That’s why the Elders and I discussed having you apply to the West Mansion.” Tang Haotian frowned slightly. He couldn’t understand why Tang Yi would hesitate when faced with such a great opportunity.

He then thought for a moment before adding, ”Actually, besides you, Yi’Er, many other outstanding disciples from the Tang Family are also applying to the West Mansion this time. However, while they may be excellent within our clan, they pale in comparison to the talent across the entire Western Domain. So, not only do we hope you can get in, but we also hope you can look out for them and help them pass the entrance test. Having more of our Tang Family members enter the West Mansion would be a great fortune for us.”

’It has to be said, Tang Haotian is truly dedicated and responsible when it comes to the Tang Family,’ Tang Yi thought. ’Everything he does is for the sake of strengthening the clan. He’s fair and reasonable, a man without fault. It’s the Tang Family’s good fortune to have him at the helm.’

’However, his strength is a bit too low. A Five-star Battle Grandmaster is simply not impressive enough.’

’If the Tang Family is to grow stronger, strength is the foundation. A good mind, fairness, and a sense of duty aren’t enough on their own.’

Hearing Tang Haotian’s request made Tang Yi even more hesitant. He really didn’t want to go to the West Mansion, but he felt it would be awkward to refuse, which left him feeling extremely conflicted.

After all, Tang Haotian was his father and the Clan Leader of the Tang Family. It wasn’t easy to go against his wishes.

Furthermore, this was all for the sake of the Tang Family’s development. As a member of the clan, it wasn’t an unreasonable request for Tang Haotian to ask him to apply to the West Mansion and help the other disciples get in as well.

”Father, I had already planned to go to the Demon Beast Land to train. I’m already preparing and was about to set off any day now. Being suddenly told to apply to the West Mansion has caught me completely off guard. Besides, I don’t really have any interest in the West Mansion, so I’m afraid...” Tang Yi hesitated for a moment before finally voicing his thoughts.

”Training in the Demon Beast Land?” Tang Haotian was taken aback, not having expected Tang Yi to have such a plan.

Thinking Tang Yi might have misunderstood something, Tang Haotian smiled and said, ”Yi’Er, I’m afraid you have the wrong idea about the West Mansion. Do you think its students just lock themselves away in arduous cultivation? No, they also need a wealth of practical combat experience. From time to time, they organize trips for students to dangerous Demon Beast Lands to train. What’s more, the West Mansion doesn’t restrict its students’ freedom. You can go wherever you want, and no one will stop you, as long as you return by the required time.”

”Huh?” Hearing this, Tang Yi was stunned.

’The West Mansion is that flexible?’ he thought to himself.

He’d assumed the West Mansion was like the schools back on Earth, full of rules. He thought that once you enrolled, you were stuck in closed-door cultivation and couldn’t leave as you pleased. That would have seriously impacted his leveling efficiency, which was why he had been so hesitant to agree. He never expected the West Mansion to be nothing like that.

After what Tang Haotian said, Tang Yi started to feel tempted. The weight of his hesitation began to lift.

”And from what I know, near Jiuji City where the West Mansion is located, there is a place called the Valley of Desolation. It’s an even more dangerous Demon Beast Land and a Sacred Land for Martial Artist adventurers. It’s countless times larger than the Wind Moon Forest outside our Fengyue City. The variety of Demon Beast species is much greater, and their overall strength is who knows how many times greater than the Demon Beasts in the Wind Moon Forest!”

”It is said that in the depths of the Valley of Desolation, there’s even a Demon Beast that has existed for over a thousand years, with terrifyingly immense power.”

Tang Haotian continued, telling Tang Yi everything he knew.

”Really?” After hearing Tang Haotian’s explanation, Tang Yi’s eyes lit up.

”I’m not exaggerating in the slightest. When you go out to train, the Valley of Desolation will be the perfect choice. However, it is also extremely dangerous, so you must be very careful,” Tang Haotian urged seriously.

”Alright, then. I agree. I’ll apply to the West Mansion.” Tang Yi finally nodded in agreement.

As long as he could go kill monsters and level up without slowing his progress, Tang Yi had no more reservations.

Besides, the Valley of Desolation sounded way more impressive than the Wind Moon Forest. More Demon Beasts, higher Levels—it was an absolute paradise for leveling up!

As for joining the West Mansion, he’d just treat it as fulfilling an obligation—helping the clan’s disciples get in, improving their strength, and, while he was at it, broadening his horizons. He could see just how talented the disciples from the various clans of the Western Domain truly were.

As long as it didn’t hinder his power progression or interfere with his half-year promise, then checking out the West Mansion was actually a pretty good option.

”Excellent. Then it’s settled.” With Tang Yi’s agreement, his entry into the West Mansion was practically guaranteed. This made Tang Haotian extremely happy.

Seeing that Tang Yi had agreed, the other Elders also broke into smiles.

With Tang Yi’s help, it would be much easier for the Tang Family’s disciples to get into the West Mansion.

After all, Tang Yi was a powerhouse who could easily defeat a Two-star Battle Grandmaster. He was even stronger than any of them.

The West Mansion’s only requirements for applicants were to be under eighteen years of age and at the Battle Master Level or higher. Tang Yi exceeded those conditions by an enormous margin.

As if remembering something, Tang Haotian suddenly said, ”Oh, right, Yi’Er. The Elders and I were discussing... if you don’t mind, could you tell us what Level your strength has reached? That way, we’ll at least have a general idea. After all, even I can’t discern your true strength anymore.”

Hearing this, Tang Yi smiled playfully. ”Why don’t you take a guess, Father? What Level do you think my strength has reached?”

”I can’t tell. I just think you must be stronger than me.” Tang Haotian shook his head, unable to say for sure. After a moment’s thought, he added, ”How about this? Don’t tell me yet. Let me test it myself, and then I’ll guess. What do you say?”
