Martial Artist: Stronger by Coasting Along

Vortex Star Domain.

Inside the Duan Family Castle.

After a month of drifting through the stars, Duan Shumo finally returned to the Vortex Star Domain, back to the Duan Family home.

As a demon with the highest cultivation talent in the Basic Star Realm governed by the Shen Country Star Realm, Duan Shumo was the focus of all eyes, and the Duan Family placed high hopes on him.

Who would have expected it.

Now the Golden Core was shattered, the Dao Platform collapsed, and his power nearly vanished. Even if a Great Divine Techniques expert were to help, they could only restore Duan Shumo to the Golden Core Realm, making it exceedingly difficult to understand the Dao Seed in the future.

Because of the Duan Family’s presence, the Shen Family couldn’t establish any Law Power in the Vortex Star Domain.

For Duan Shumo’s Six-star Golden Core, the Duan Family found a planet with Law Power that perfectly met his requirements.

Duan Shumo has already infused his own power into that planet.

This made his strength among his peers notably high, but unfortunately, as soon as he reached Titan Star, he was severely injured by Ling Feng’s Great Soul Power and further had his Great Soul Power devoured by Zhang Lingfeng.

This led to the shattering of his Golden Core, collapse of the Dao Platform, and the Law Power within him descended into chaos.

Three experts of the Duan Family who mastered the Divine Secret Skill examined Duan Shumo in turns, and each was solemn and silent after inspecting his injuries.

"Elders, my son has done so much for the family, now that he’s like this, you can’t just ignore him!"

Duan Shumo’s father said anxiously.

To have nurtured someone like Duan Shumo, Duan Hongyu was naturally extraordinary himself. Because of Duan Shumo, he also had access to the Duan Family’s Divine Secret Skill.

Though he hadn’t undergone Nascent Soul Divinity Transformation, he was a true Dao Seed expert, mastering sixty percent of the Law Power of one of the planets in the Vortex Star Domain, and had also understood the Destruction Law.

It could be said that Duan Hongyu’s strength in the Black Water Star Realm, even if Tian Shui and Duan Heming joined forces, might not be a match for him.

Combining the Duan Family’s Divine Secret Skill with Destruction Law Power, even venturing to the Black Water Star Realm without the aid of Mother Star Law Power, Duan Hongyu wouldn’t easily be challenged by any ordinary Dao Seed expert.

But even he was despairing over Duan Shumo’s injuries at this moment.

"Seeing Shumo like this grieves us just as much, no matter what happens, Shumo is still Duan Family’s hope. With him like this, the entire family suffers a great loss. Rest assured, the family won’t turn a blind eye to this. I will personally negotiate with the Shen Family to ask for their assistance in helping Shumo reconsolidate his Golden Core and restore his original cultivation.

However... you all must be mentally prepared that even if Shumo’s cultivation is restored, the chance of understanding the Dao Seed later is slim to none."

A leader of the Duan Family said with resignation.

"I understand. As long as my son can regain his cultivation, that’s all that matters. Regarding the Dao Seed in the future, we’ll take it one step at a time!"

Duan Hongyu nodded affirmatively.

He knew that with the Shen Family’s foundation, they certainly had terrifying Divine Secret Skills that could forcibly infuse Qi Fortune into Duan Shumo’s body, allowing him not only to recover completely but also to an extent where understanding the Dao Seed and even Nascent Soul Divinity Transformation wouldn’t be a problem.

However, such a cost was too great for the Duan Family to bear.

"When I achieve Nascent Soul Divinity Transformation, I will definitely take you into the Intermediate Star Realm, and help you reclaim your former cultivation talent. No one can stop our rise as father and son."

Duan Hongyu said to himself.

"Right now, I only wish someone could help me destroy Zhang Lingfeng. With his cultivation talent surpassing mine, he will replace everything I once had, and he has also become a Soul Master.

In the future, I’m afraid that even the Duan Family’s status in the Basic Star Realm won’t be upheld."

Duan Shumo said through gritted teeth.

This belief sustained him up until now.

At this time, he was more eager than even the Shen Family to kill Zhang Lingfeng, to make him regret it all.

The expressions of the Duan family members turned indignant on hearing this, knowing the destruction of Duan Shumo had brought tremendous loss to them, and naturally, they wouldn’t let Zhang Lingfeng off the hook.

"I will personally avenge you."

Duan Hongyu said.

He decided to personally make a trip to the Black Water Star Realm.

With his strength, even if Tian Shui and Duan Heming were to intervene, he believed he could still kill Zhang Lingfeng, plunging the Black Water Star Realm into darkness.

"Reckless."

Yet this plan was rebuked by the Duan Family leader.

Duan Hongyu was unwilling to accept it, but the one who had spoken was a core figure in the inheritance of the Duan Family’s Divine Secret Skill, so Duan Hongyu dared not retort.

That person understood Duan Hongyu’s reluctance.

He could also understand his feelings and said in a relatively conciliatory tone, "If any more Duan Family members enter the Black Water Star Realm to assassinate Zhang Lingfeng, it would mean our family breaking off completely with the Alliance.

Over the years, one great reason we’ve been able to prevent the Shen Family from establishing any Law Power in the Vortex Star Domain and deprive everyone’s Qi Fortune is because of the Alliance.

If we wish to continue leveraging both the Alliance and the Shen Family, we cannot provoke the Alliance nor offend the Shen Family.

Of course, Zhang Lingfeng must be eliminated!"

The leader of the Duan Family said slowly.

Duan Hongyu and Duan Shumo, along with everyone else, looked at him.

"There are many ways to kill Zhang Lingfeng, and we don’t have to make a move ourselves. Even if we spare Zhang Lingfeng, Shen Rufeng won’t hold back.

But we can seize the opportunity to create some trouble for the Black Water Star Realm, making it so that Tian Shui and the others can’t divert any attention to Zhang Lingfeng. That is something our Duan Family should indeed do."

The leader of the Duan Family said casually.

"Although Shumo was not defeated by Zhang Lingfeng, the fact that Zhang Lingfeng destroyed Shumo’s Golden Core is undeniable, and those restless individuals on the Heavenly Ranking will surely rush to the Black Water Star Realm to trouble Zhang Lingfeng.
