His mind shook. The backlash of failing to summon the grimoire caused Yue Yang’s head to be buzzing afterwards. He did not know that it would feel this bad to fail a summon.
No wonder normal warriors, who were cut off while summoning their beasts, would feel so much pain until they fainted on the ground. So it was this unpleasant. Yue Yang felt that this sensation was like taking a wrong step when walking up a flight of stairs… If it were someone else, they would definitely be scared off by the intense pain after failing once. They would not ask for trouble and get hit by the mental backlash after failing to summon again.
However, although Yue Yang usually liked to tell lies, he had some extremely slight merits. That would be that he was extremely stubborn to the point where he would not admit defeat.
Boom, boom, boom, boom…
Yue Yang clenched his teeth and persevered on as he practised. His heart was fierce and was determined to grasp this technique.
He found that learning this technique of instant summoning was akin to learning how to walk or ride a bicycle when he was young. He would always fall over, but each time he fell over, he would gain a little experience and improve little by little…
As his mind became more coordinated, the resonating effect between his body and the summoning grimoire gradually became greater.
The waves of mental backlash became lighter and lighter. Finally, Yue Yang did not feel his head hurting anymore. Instead, he felt a kind of fluctuating comfort that comes and goes, as if his mind was sobering up. His whole body entered into a mental state that was too wonderful to describe with words. The experience he had received after failing countless times had accumulated into a brand new realisation. So the realm of ‘man and grimoire as one’, that he could not perceive originally, was right in front of his eyes all along…
Finally, after failing who knows how many times, Yue Yang reached his hands out again. This time was different from the previous times when his summoning failed. He now brimmed with confidence, and with a slight touch…
That silver grimoire was finally perfectly summoned in an instant.
It succeeded!
It really succeeded! However, Yue Yang was so amazed that he couldn’t think of anything for a moment. He still could not believe his eyes for a long time.
“Wa wa wa, I succeeded!” Yue Yang was so excited that he jumped and hopped around. He felt extremely delighted. Yue Yang thought that he was a genius, and was too awesome. It was such a difficult technique, yet he had finally managed to grasp it.
“…” Xiao Wen Li stealthily yawned in an extremely cute manner.
Perhaps she felt that Yue Yang was an idiot who had to take such a long time just to practise such a simple thing.
Luckily, she still could not speak.
Thus, the blow was not dealt to Yue Yang, letting him feel a little delighted for three minutes.
Yue Yang fiercely kissed her on the face and threw her up into the air. He then caught her and swung her around, saying, “Little cutie, teach me again! How did you put the twin icicle blades into your diamond grimoire? There must be a technique for it, right? Come, tell me how to do it! How do I store things inside the grimoire?”
Xiao Wen Li batted her bright eyes, as if preparing to ‘tell’ Yue Yang the technique, but her eyes suddenly turned and she transformed into a rainbow light, floating into his body.
Instantly, Yue Yang also heard the sound of footsteps coming over from outside the house.
“Is it Fifth Grandfather?” Yue Yang opened the door to look and found the deer-riding elder dashing towards him, happily handing over a package to him.
“These are some of the things that your father left behind. After Brother Hai’s proposal, and the discussion between the Three Great Elders and the Nine Elders, we decided to give you a part of your father’s possessions to you for safekeeping. These are your father’s battle techniques. It might be a bit useful for you. As these techniques require the contracting of special beasts, Brother Hai and I both feel that you might not be suited to cultivate them as they are. You may want to use them as a slight reference to receive some inspiration; perhaps that would be better for you. As for the other item, this is the blade that your father left behind. It’s already broken. Take a look at it; maybe you can find some clues. And lastly, this is a key… “ Amongst the things that the Fifth Elder gave him, Yue Yang did not find any key.
“Where’s the key?” Yue Yang was curious. Could this key be transparent?
“Little fellow, do you know the greatest difference between the Clan Head of the Yue Family and of the other clans in the world? It’s how fair they have to be. No matter how much they favor a single son or grandson, he must treat everyone fairly and ensure that everyone also maintains fairness. Before the competition, it was not that he did not want to help you. Rather, the more he helped you, the more people would res
