C41 Goodbye!

At that moment, Mo Changyou's cultivation had fully ascended to Energy Condensation Level 6. His formidable Spirit Energy churned within his meridians, relentlessly subdued by his efforts.

Despite the discomfort, he persevered.

Only by soothing the tumultuous Spirit Energy and easing his meridians could he look forward to a smoother transition to the Spirit Fusion Stage in the future. Such a breakthrough would grant him unparalleled comfort and a seamless path to achieving Perfect Spirit Fusion!

He understood that even the slightest error could have far-reaching consequences.

Mo Changyou held this belief unwaveringly, for it was his meticulous care at every stage that had led him to become a Monarch in his past life. He had always strived for perfection.

The Spirit Energy flowed through cycle after cycle within him, earning Tang Nuolan's silent admiration.

"He has completed thirty-six cycles to stabilize the Spirit Energy. His resolve is truly admirable," she thought to herself.

The most tedious aspect of cultivating was this very process of circulation. It required no special techniques, just the guiding of Spirit Energy through the meridians. Hence, while it didn't significantly enhance one's cultivation level, it was essential for maintaining the health of the meridians.

After thirty-six complete cycles, Mo Changyou's posture remained unshaken.

At last, with a deep exhale, his cultivation firmly established itself at Energy Condensation Level 6. He had also dabbled in the Heavenly Monarch Fist and considered crafting his own Fist Technique.

While the Heavenly Monarch Fist was formidable, it wasn't a perfect fit for him. He planned to use its foundation to forge a Fist Technique uniquely his own.

As Mo Changyou mulled over his plans, a sweat-drenched elder in black garb materialized in the cave. The man's anxious eyes scanned the area, and upon spotting Tang Nuolan, relief washed over him. He promptly knelt on one knee.

"I am truly sorry," the elder in black apologized, bowing his head.

"Sovereign," Mo Changyou acknowledged with a slight squint of his eyes. He had surmised that Tang Nuolan's origins were far from ordinary—she must be the scion of a highly distinguished family from the Imperial Capital.

He hadn't anticipated that her journey would be accompanied by a Sovereign. Within this modest empire, reaching the cultivation level of a Sovereign was considered the pinnacle.

Back in the day, Mo Feng's mightiest warrior hadn't even attained the Sovereign Stage.

"Uncle Kang, there's no need for such formality between us. Allow me to introduce Mo Changyou, a member of the Mo family from Black Rock City. Without his intervention, I fear I would have perished long ago. He is Uncle Kang, a warrior of the Sovereign Stage," Tang Nuolan said as she gestured towards Mo Changyou, introducing him to the elderly man clad in black.

"Mo Changyou? Of the Black Rock City Mo family? Is he Mo Feng's son?" Kang Yuantian quietly pondered.

He was speculating, but it puzzled him. He remembered hearing that Mo Feng's son possessed only a Grade Nine Talent. Could he really have advanced to Energy Condensation Level 6 at such a young age?

That seemed illogical.

"I'm Kang Yuantian. I appreciate your care for her. Should you face any troubles in the future, feel free to seek my assistance," Kang Yuantian offered, nodding respectfully to Mo Changyou.

Kang Yuantian's seasoned eyes briefly swept over Mo Changyou with a hint of indifference. To him, Mo Changyou was merely fortunate to have saved her.

Had the Six-winged Lion King not wounded her, Mo Changyou wouldn't have had the chance to be near her.

Despite standing before a Sovereign, Mo Changyou maintained his composure, acknowledging the introduction with a respectful nod.

Suddenly, a discordant voice broke the silence.

"So this is where you are!" Mo Xiu, adorned in a green robe, burst into the cave.

He surveyed the trio before him, his gaze settling on Tang Nuolan.

"She's got an impressive figure and is quite attractive," Mo Xiu silently appraised, taking in Tang Nuolan's statuesque and alluring form.

He was oblivious to the cultivation levels of both Tang Nuolan and the man in black.

"Do you realize what you're doing?" Kang Yuantian rebuked, visibly irritated. He was baffled that a warrior at Energy Condensation Level 8 would dare to ogle her with such brazen desire in his presence.

"Old fool, step aside. Once I've had my kiss, I'll take care of you and him," Mo Xiu declared, his eyes fixed on Tang Nuolan. She was undeniably stunning, surpassing even Mo Yunyun, a renowned beauty from the Mo family.

Even Qian Hongyun of the Qian family paled in comparison to Tang Nuolan.

How could Mo Xiu, after living in Black Rock City for over two decades, show no reaction?

Kang Yuantian nearly burst with rage. A mere martial artist at Energy Condensation Level 8 had the audacity to insult him!

"You're asking for it!" Kang Yuantian lashed out. Beneath his black robe, a gnarled hand pressed down fiercely. In that instant, the very space within the cave seemed to compress.

The hand surged toward Mo Xiu. The cave collapsed, and the fearsome Spirit Energy and oppressive force reverberated in every direction. With mere pressure, a Sovereign could effortlessly slay a martial artist at Energy Condensation Level 8.

Mo Xiu's face contorted with shock. He had not anticipated that this elder was actually a top-tier powerhouse!

As a martial artist at Energy Condensation Level 8, he was nothing but a weakling before a Sovereign.

In a mere moment, Mo Xiu was pulverized into dust, meeting his end right there.

"That's some bad luck," Mo Changyou murmured. Tang Nuolan had just regained her strength, bolstering their power even further.

At such a time, Mo Xiu dared to flirt with Tang Nuolan. Even if the Third Elder committed such an act, he would not fare well.

Afterwards, following a brief exchange, Kang Yuantian departed with Tang Nuolan.

"Miss, don't fall for him. Though Mo Feng was exceptionally talented in his day, his son is merely a martial artist with Grade Nine Talent and lacks his father's finer qualities. He's not a suitable match for you!" Kang Yuantian spoke up. Known for his bluntness and as a Sovereign, he could tell that Tang Nuolan had indeed taken a liking to Mo Changyou.
