Chapter 507: Law Warrior Xia Fei!

It was night. The Yu family’s Patriarch Yujiang was playing chess with the shrewd merchant Yuhua. Three rounds, and Yuhua’s chess pieces were all decimated each time. Yujiang had no interest in continuing the battle; though Yuhua was clever and was a good businessman, it did not translate to his chess skills.

Lifting a cup of tea, Yuhua chuckled. “Patriarch’s chess skills are too outstanding. Yuhua here admits his defeat.”

Yujiang laughed as he waved his hand dismissively and the chess set on the table between them disappeared. In its place were several plates of nuts.

“Chess is a reflection of a person’s character. You are crafty in your chess, but you lack the decisiveness to deliver killing blows. You’ll always be indecisive at every crucial point of the game, which is why you lost.”

Yuhua chuckled. “Patriarch is exactly right. I have no idea why I just don’t have any interest when it comes to killing, or else I wouldn’t have chosen to go down this route of being a merchant.”

Yujiang sighed. “Honestly, out of all the people in this family, you’re the most I favor, but you’re also the most disappointing, wasting your talent. There are over a million people in the Yu family, and only four of you have a completely open seventh brain region besides me.

“Yu Xiaobei is still young, and he’s reckless and not wise enough. Yu Jin has an insidious personality and only acts in the face of profit. Xia Fei’s an outsider, not one of us in name. Besides, his brain region is severely damaged, most likely never able to be repaired in this lifetime. Only you are exceptional both in terms of martial arts ability and character. Unfortunately, you don’t seek wealth or fame, with a distaste for killing, so I have no choice but to let you run freely.

“The Yu family of today is no longer like before. I’m afraid that the family will be in for a decline after I leave.”

Yuhua hurriedly stated, “Patriarch is being overly worried. You’re still hale and hearty; with you around, the Yu family won’t fall. Speaking of which, Xia Fei has already been with the family for half a month; I wonder how he’s doing now?”

Yujiang answered, “The man suffered quite a bit of humiliation, and his nickname as a cripple has already gotten cemented.”

Yuhua frowned. “Patriarch, don’t forget that Xia Fei still has the Skywing bloodline. We have no idea how one managed to get to human territory. In any case, since the Skywing Clan’s speed ability is unparalleled, they can be called a top familiar clan in the circle. If they were to learn that Xia Fei’s been suffering such hardships with us, there’s no telling if they would come bashing our door. Everyone knows that the Skywings are the most free and unreasonable bunch who stir trouble wherever they go. This won’t be good for our family.”

Yujiang burst into laughter. “That doesn’t matter. The Skywings are always elusive and rarely ever turn up, spending their days wandering about in the universe. Xia Fei doesn’t know of his origin, so how can he so easily recognize his ancestors and make his return?”

“There’s a reason why I chose not to interfere as well. The decay of the Yu family is unavoidable, and if that young Shatterstar of his can be utilized by me, it’ll be a huge aid to the family. Let him suffer a bit first, and later when I show him some kindness, Xia Fei will surely be so grateful there’s no doubt he’ll work hard for the family. With the Holy Beast on hand, our family might perhaps be saved for a while.”

Yuhua nodded, though he still thought that what Yujiang had said was hardly appropriate. It was the former’s belief that they should be treating Xia Fei much better, trying to foster stronger kinship with the lad, but unfortunately his words held no weight in the Yu family, and no one could go against Patriarch Yujiang’s decisions.

However, what neither man knew was that any attempts to win over Xia Fei were no longer applicable. While they had been playing chess, Xia Fei had managed to repair his seventh brain region and was now about to take his rightful place anew!

…

Xia Fei had a whole new experience now that his seventh brain region had been repaired. When he tried to use that energy thread from his seventh brain region to trace the pattern of the Law of Space, he no longer felt any heartrending pain, and the energy thread could be easily manipulated as how he liked without any impediments whatsoever.

“A 100% recovery!” This was the delighted conclusion that Phantom came to after repeated examination of Xia Fei’s internal body.

“From here on out, you don’t have to drag your crippled seventh brain region and cultivate. Plus, since your seventh brain region is fully open, no one will dare look down on you, either!”

Getting up, Xia Fei lit a cheap cigarette and suddenly found the night sky today to be exceptionally brilliant. Even the usually indolent Furball also seemed cuter than usual.

After a slight rest, Xia Fei began cultivating the Law of Space. In the last three years, Xia Fei had not made any improvement be it in terms of his special ability or Law; now, he was looking to get back all the tim
