When he arrived at the sky battlefield, Wang Zongyao had seen the Martial Artists from the Skeleton Warship set up a boarding plank. Countless masked Martial Artists at the Battle Spirit Level had charged onto the Void Warship from that plank. The situation had been incredibly dire.
With so many masked Martial Artists, the Battle Spirits from the West Mansion might not have been able to hold them off.
Facing such powerful masked Martial Artists, the examinees would have had an even harder time resisting!
And without Tang Yi’s protection, how could his own daughter have survived?
Instead of helping those examinees, instead of protecting his own daughter, Tang Yi had appeared here?
This made it hard for Wang Zongyao to understand.
Puzzled, Wang Zongyao glanced in the direction of the Void Warship.
That one glance revealed an even more dumbfounding scene.
On the Void Warship, the deck was littered with the bodies of masked Martial Artists. Everyone still standing was an examinee; not a single masked Martial Artist remained to threaten them.
The boarding plank that had been set up between the two warships earlier was also gone. In its place was a thick layer of black ash, which looked particularly strange.
The strangest thing of all was the Skeleton Warship. It was completely silent, as if all the masked Martial Artists had vanished into thin air.
’There isn’t a single person on the Skeleton Warship?’
’This...’
’What on earth happened?’
Wang Zongyao was filled with questions.
Just then, Tang Yi said, "Uncle Wang, I’m here to help you all. You should go down and rest. Leave this to me. Bi’Er is safe and sound, waiting for you down below."
"Hm?"
Hearing this, Wang Zongyao glanced at the Void Warship. Sure enough, just as Tang Yi had said, Wang Bi’Er was sitting safely inside the warship with several members of the Tang Family. And unlike the disheveled appearances of the other examinees, Wang Bi’Er’s pure white dress was clean and tidy. Her expression was calm from start to finish, showing no trace of panic.
Her jet-black hair was pinned up neatly, without a single strand out of place.
It seemed she wasn’t just unharmed—she was in exceptionally good condition!
She looked exactly the same as she had when she’d first come out!
The members of the Tang Family and that girl from the Mu Family—the few who were close to Tang Yi—were all the same!
In contrast, look at the other examinees. Which one of them wasn’t stained with blood? Which one of them didn’t have torn clothes?
And which examinee’s hair was still perfectly neat and tidy?
Every other examinee looked more or less wretched, as if they had weathered immense storms and experienced the most painful moments of their lives. Their faces even held a trace of terror, clearly shaken by what had happened.
Only Wang Bi’Er and her group were different.
The few of them were completely out of place with their surroundings!
Too clean. Too calm.
’What is going on?’
Wang Zongyao felt like he was going crazy. He had only been fighting in the sky for a short while, but it felt like the entire world had changed.
"Tang Yi... you..." Wang Zongyao frowned. His mind was filled with questions, and he didn’t know if he should ask. After a moment’s thought, he steeled himself and asked, "Tang Yi, what’s going on with my Bi’Er?"
"Huh?"
Tang Yi was taken aback, stumped by Wang Zongyao’s question.
’What does he mean, "what’s going on?" Isn’t she sitting right there, perfectly fine?’
’Nothing’s wrong, is there?’
Tang Yi didn’t understand why Wang Zongyao would ask such a thing. He thought Wang Zongyao was dissatisfied with something. He replied earnestly, "Uncle Wang, I swear on my honor, I did my absolute best to protect Bi’Er. I didn’t slack off for a single moment. Uncle Wang, look, isn’t she sitting right there, perfectly fine?"
As he spoke, worried that Wang Zongyao couldn’t see clearly, he even pointed for him.
Wang Zongyao slapped Tang Yi’s hand away and said, "That’s not what I mean. I’m asking why Bi’Er’s clothes are so clean and why her hair isn’t messy at all."
"Huh?"
For the second time, Tang Yi was dumbfounded, stunned again by Wang Zongyao’s question.
He thought to himself: ’So you were hoping your daughter’s hair would be a mess? You’d only be satisfied if her clothes were torn to shreds?’
’Is she really your own daughter?’
Tang Yi began to have his doubts about Wang Zongyao.
"Uncle Wang, I don’t quite understand what you mean. Isn’t it a good thing that Bi’Er is like this? Why would I have to get her clothes dirty and mess up her hair? Uncle Wang, let me be clear, I’m not that kind of person!" Tang Yi said, raising a hand as if taking an oath.
"Get outta here! I’m not saying Bi’Er is in bad shape. I’m saying she’s in *too* good of shape! Look at the other examinees over there. Every single one of them is a mess. Only your Tang Family members, the girl from the Mu Family, and my girl are perfectly clean."
"Also, just now I saw countless Battle Spirit Level Martial Artists from the Heaven-Devouring Thief’s warship swarm our Void Warship. How did they vanish in the blink of an eye? Tell me what happened!"
Wang Zongyao couldn’t be bothered to keep bantering with Tang Yi and just blurted out all his questions at once.
"Oh." Tang Yi’s face lit with understanding. He now knew what Wang Zongyao meant.
Then, Tang Yi smiled and replied, "I promised Uncle Wang I would protect Bi’Er, so of course, not a single hair on her head could be harmed. You entrusted Bi’Er to me in one condition, and I returned her to you in that same condition. What’s so strange about that, Uncle Wang? With me here, not a single masked Martial Artist could threaten her. The same goes for my Tang Family members and Miss Mu."
"As for those masked Battle Spirit Warriors..."
Tang Yi paused, then said with a smile, "I killed all of them."
Tang Yi said this nonchalantly, as if it were no big deal.
"What!"
But upon hearing this, Wang Zongyao’s eyes went wide, and he stared at Tang Yi in disbelief.
’Before...’
’There were at least several hundred masked Martial Artists on that Skeleton Warship, right?’
’And Tang Yi killed them all by himself?’
Wang Zongyao sucked in a sharp breath.
Having learned the truth, Wang Zongyao was left clicking his tongue in astonishment. Fierce Waves of shock crashed through his mind, and his estimation of Tang Yi soared even higher.
Wang Zongyao felt that his initial decision had been the right one!
Befriending Tang Yi was the best decision he had ever made in his life.
This kid was simply a Demon, his power was truly immense!
From what had just happened, it was clear that Tang Yi’s future achievements would reach a height that others could only dream of.
Killing a Battle King Level expert in two moves, slaughtering several hundred Battle Spirit Level masked Martial Artists... which other young examinee could beat their chest and claim they could do the same?
None!
Only Tang Yi!
"Uncle Wang, you can go down and rest now. Leave this place to me," Tang Yi said with another smile, seeing Wang Zongyao dazed.
Wang Zongyao was already exhausted. It would be dangerous for him to remain on the sky battlefield, so Tang Yi advised him to go rest.
"Uh, ah, right." Snapping out of it, Wang Zongyao nodded. He glanced at Tang Yi, clapped him on the shoulder, and said, "Tang Yi, you’re incredible. I have high hopes for you. Keep it up. Also, the Chief Examiners from the nearby Thirty-Six Cities are also part of the West Mansion. Since you’ll be joining the West Mansion in the future, please go help them. Save as many as you can."
"Of course. I will definitely rescue all of the officials," Tang Yi said with a nod.
"Good."
Having received a satisfactory answer, Wang Zongyao gave Tang Yi a gratified look, then flew back down.
Tang Yi, however, looked out at the battlefield in the sky and said confidently, "Of course I’ll rescue the Chief Examiners from the West Mansion. Because all of my enemies... will become my Experience Value!"
