Chapter 186: Lie’s Flame Cauldron
Mar's invisible royal family, the Lie family!
"Please come to a stop . In front is private property . "
Before one reached the Lie family's gates, five kilometers before the entrance, the travelling Lie Guang was stopped by security .
Lie Guang smiled . This was considered being polite . Those who could not recognize those of the Lie Family were not many, but neither were they little . Some did it accidentally, some on purpose .
Before Lie Guang spoke, the communicator of the guard who had stopped him suddenly burst with activity . The guard immediately turned pale and his face showed surprise . He immediately bowed deeply . "My apologies, this lowly one did not know that the Patriarch was back . "
"No worries . " He did not possess a strong sense of belonging to this family .
Lie Guang patted the guard's shoulders before walking up the mountain entrance . On both sides of the road were large trees . These were planted during the great Martian Terraforming . The trees that were older than a thousand years were too numerous to count . Even the smaller trees were at least a few hundred years old .
The entire mountain had a radius of 100 li (57km) . All of this land belonged to the Lie Family . The main residence was right at the entrance of the mountain range . The mountain range itself held numerous secrets . Even Lie Guang only knew just a little about it, but it was no more than a single hair on the back of nine oxen .
The housekeeper took ten odd servants to wait for Lie Guang in front of the gate . They stood motionless until Lie Guang appeared in front of them . "Welcome home, Patriarch . "
Family…
Lie Guang nodded his head . His heart felt a little regret .
"Patriarch, these servants will be dispatched to follow you . Regardless of what you need, you can inform them . "
The ten odd servants saluted Lie Guang .
Lie Guang knew that he had to accept it . If he rejected them, a different group of individuals would be chosen to serve him and the process would repeat until he accepted .
When Lie Guang returned to his room, he dismissed the servants . They would be in charge of his daily meals and accommodation .
After sitting down, the room's door was then pushed open . Without taking a glance, he knew who had arrived .
Lie Xin's voice resounded, "Little Guang, you're finally willing to come home?"
Little Guang… Lie Guang felt quite helpless . Regardless of how much he protested, so long as he could not beat Lie Xin, she would continue to address him this way . However, deep down, Lie Guang knew that Lie Xin was the only one who treated him as an actual family member .
"After not meeting for so long, you seem to have developed quite well . " Lie Guang sized up Lie Xin . His experience was quite plentiful when it came to females .
Lie Xin's body was well endowed . No one could match it . What was unfortunate was that Lie Guang's words did not deter Lie Xin . On the contrary, Lie Xin walked forward with a smile on her face . "How could you tell? Why don't you give me a baby . "
Lie Guang's face immediately turned repulsive . He thought that after numerous years of training, he would no longer fear his sister . Instead, he had been KO-ed in their very first exchange!
"Sister is now an adult . Please tell me whatever requests you have . Except for having a child . "
"Then follow me . You should go there . " Lie Xin's facial expression changed almost instantly .
"The Lie Fire Cauldron?"
"The Lie Fire Cauldron . "
Lie Xin said faintly .
Lie Guang's face changed slightly . The Lie Fire Cauldron . It was the Lie Family's greatest heritage . In a time where Gongfa was difficult to practice, especially when heritages had all been lost, the Lie family's Gongfa was still able to be passed down . Furthermore, the Lie family was still able to maintain a high status . This cauldron which had over a thousand years of legacy was actually the reason why the Lie Family was able to produce numerous Ability X users . It was their biggest secret .
10 minutes later, Lie Xin had brought Lie Guang to the palace where the Lie Family's cauldron was kept . The cauldron was as large as a small garden . It was a square cauldron with doors on each side of it, allowing one to walk inside the cauldron itself .
"Go . "
Upon entering the cauldron, a blast of hot air rushed at him as the door opened . It was as though the air itself was possessed and had a spiritual nature as it rushed into his pores . With the Lie's Fire Technique, this spiritual air would gradually turn into a form of power and remain inside one's body .
A strange fire array could be seen inside the Lie Fire Cauldron . However, when one tried to touch it, it would be no more than an illusion .
An old man was sitting in the center of the Lie Family Cauldron . After seeing Lie Xin and Lie Guang come in, he immediately stood up . "Come over here . "
Every disciple of the Lie family would have one opportunity to refine themselves . His opportunity had come extremely late .
Lie Guang smiled bitterly in his heart . The knots in his heart were difficult to undo . Very often, he felt a sense of inferiority .
"Go . I believe you can do it!" Ever since Lie Guang had returned, Lie Xin had treated him as her little brother . This opportunity for him to go the cauldron was also something she had fought for .
Lie Guang could see how much care and concern Lie Xin had for him . At this point, Lie Guang finally understood . His surname did not matter . Who he was did not matter either . What was important was that he was Lie Xin's little brother . He would use his life to fight for his only family member .
Lie Guang walked forward with no hesitation . Regardless of the trials, he would do anything for Lie Xin .
The old man's expression towards Lie Guang was very calm . It was clear that there was a little bit of scorn in it as well . To those not of the main branch, if the old rules were followed, he would never have a chance to step inside here . Lie Xin's request was meaningless . However, the Sage had made a request, and that was why he had the opportunity to do so .
However, would he even succeed?
The Lie Fire Cauldron sealed shut . Lie Guang sat down cross-legged . What he needed to do was cultivate the Lie Family Technique inside the cauldron . Everything else was up to fate .
After quite a bit of time… there was no reaction .
"Second Uncle, could there have been a problem? Is this the right time?" Lie Xin was slightly anxious .
The old man looked nonchalantly at Lie Guang, who was sitting inside . "Pure yang is leaking . His gongfa is too weak . His attitude is insufficient . Even though you are from the Lie family, everything is up to the heavens . "
Lie Guang gritted his teeth . Suddenly, he had a mirthless smile on his face .
"I remember the Patriarch saying that Lie Guang was born a Lie family member . Even when he dies, his spirit is that of the Lie family . I think don't Second Uncle forgot that, did you?"
The old man stared blankly . He gave Lie Xin a glance before relaxing slightly, clearly unaffected .
This Lie Family Cauldron was like a cage . Lie Guang was feeling slightly bored . He continued to cultivate his Gongfa; however, nothing happened .
Was his strength insufficient?
Although his body was inside the Fire Cauldron, he could clearly see everything that was happening outside . How Lie Xin was worried about him and how Second Uncle was peering at him .
She was always calm . She had possessed the Lie family's greatest talent . However, there were times where even she was worried!
Lie Guang knew that he had to get a reaction out of the cauldron . If not, he would truly be given up on by the family . Even the Sage would not be able to say anything . The chance was given to him, but he was unable to make use of it .
Lie Xin took a step forward, but the old man stopped her .
"Second Uncle, Little Lie has been gone for too long . He needs some guidance . Let me do it . "
The old man smiled emotionlessly . "He had the gall to remind me to follow the Patriach's words . Are you willing to go against the family's rules? The Lie Fire Cauldron is an individual trial . There can be no external help . Even the future family head cannot break these rules . "
Lie Guang felt his own body getting hotter and hotter . F*ck . That d*mn old man . He dared to disrespect Lie Xin? This Patriarch here could destroy him at anytime .
The Lie Fire Cauldron suddenly shuddered . Was it an earthquake??
Duummmm…
The entire Lie Fire Cauldron suddenly ignited . Lie Guang, who was inside the Fire Cauldron, looked as though he was reborn in a baptism of fire . He stood up, his finger pointing at the old man outside . He was gushing with power . "You old fogey, respect the future head of the family!"
Subspace flight was extremely boring . However, a life without Skeleton was considered to be something extremely fortunate for Young Deer .
To be frank, Young Deer was now the most famous commentator in CT . He had recently received an award for being the best commentator .
However, along with that award, Young Deer had also won the fan's choice for being the most vicious commentator .
Today was a Friday on Earth . It was the start of the professional tournaments . As the year's best commentator, Young Deer was the main commentator for the competition .
This was a professional 5 v 5 match . The battle was in a deadlock and both teams were extremely strong . Both sides were defensive, and as the situation progressed, they consistently swapped between offense and defense .
Professional competitions usually had opponents of similar skill, so there were no fancy fights . It was just a competition to see who was more careful .
Neither side was competing in terms of skills, it was a test of their tactics and their ability to react . It was also a test to see how well a team could work together .
As Old Deer commentated, he took a swig of milk from a carton .
In the chatbox for the livestream, a series of milk carton emoticons immediately flooded the chat . This was a sort of improvised entertainment . So long as Young Deer was commentating, even if Skeleton was not a competitor, these milk cartons would appear to provoke Old Deer .
This was also Old Deer's aim when he drank milk on livestream . This also had Solon's influence in it . Solon had also made a concession . If Old Deer did not drink milk, people would not be interested in throwing milk cartons his way . However, when he drank milk, the audience would definitely grow excited . As a result, Solon was extremely excited . Thus, he signed a contract to get Old Deer to drink milk . If he did so, he would get a share of the profits .
With money to take, Old Deer was still a professional at heart . He was, after all, a professional commentator!
The milk company was excited . What could be a better form of advertisement? Several large milk companies were trying to get Old Deer to be their representative . Their sales would immediately jump by several times!
The stalemate was broken…
While drinking the milk, Old Deer suddenly started commentating . "Karl's team has made a mistake . It is now too late to defend mid lane . Team SK has launched a surprise attack . "
After he finished speaking, Team SK grouped up in the middle . This was a long planned attack . The opponent, Team Karl, was at the bottom lane and immediately sought to support the middle . However, top lane was too greedy; they wanted to break the opponent's defence and was therefore too slow to defend .
"Karl's top lane was too greedy . If it was a casual match, it wouldn't mean much . However, in a professional game, a few seconds can spell the difference between victory and defeat . "
As a result, the mid lane had a fight of 4v5 . In a group match, SK was quickly able to destroy Karl's tank mech . Without the tank, the rest of the mecha could only retreat . Even if top lane returned, he could not do much . They had allowed SK to take the initiative . SK regrouped and pushed towards the enemy's fortress . The game's conclusion had more or less been set .
Old Deer gave a slight smile . This was professionalism . Everything he said came true .
"I would like to thank everyone for watching this . I also hope that everyone votes for me as the most professional commentator . I am the best CT commentator in the universe . Thank you!"
The match ended . However, when Old Deer started speaking, the viewers immediately became excited . He was truly attracting the ire of others . What a b*stard . What was he talking about… the universe's best commentator . Then in this case, I'm a god!
