Zongwang: Unspeakable fear!

Chapter 955 The Cat Spirit Yearning for the Way of the Sword
Yudros lowered his head slightly, concealing the envy in his heart.

Keep in mind that even a legend like him, who was also a caravan captain, only earned a total of fifteen magic gems a year.

This was only because he worked for the Goblin and Gnome Merchant Guild. In other smaller factions, an average Legendary would be lucky to earn ten Magic Gems a year.

As for whether there are higher-paying jobs?

Of course, there are jobs that can be made with ten magic gems a day, as long as you're willing to work hard. But whether you can survive and get the reward is another matter entirely.

At the very least, even if you offered Yudros a hundred magic gems a day to fight in a bloodbath, he would absolutely not agree.

Can a legend who can make money in bloody battles compare to a legend like theirs who live a life of ease and have almost forgotten what fighting is?
Just like the 'Cataclysmic Sword Master' standing in front of him now, his cousin had repeatedly warned him not to be disrespectful in the slightest, and not to try anything funny, otherwise he would definitely not have a good time when he returned.

Yudros really wanted to say that this was giving him too much credit. What level of legend was he that he dared to play tricks in front of the Lord of Calamity? Did he think he had too much life left, or did he think his neck was tough enough to withstand the Lord of Calamity's slash?

He had heard of the name of the Calamity Sword Master before. He was the only legendary figure in the Blood War Battlefield in nearly a thousand years to have killed a god in the Blood War Battlefield. He was ranked among the top fifty peak gladiators in the Gladiator's Peak. He was also involved in this chaotic battle in the starry sky to compete for the new plane. It should be noted that the weakest of the legendary figures who participated in this battle were at the peak legendary level.

Any one of these deeds could easily crush him into dust.

Just as Yudros was lost in thought, Gao Yang's voice pulled him back to reality: "Is there anything else you want to report?"

Yudros quickly shook his head and looked at Gao Yang, asking, "No, no, Lord Gao Yang, what do you think of these magic gems? Should we pay you directly or store them in the Merchant Guild in the form of crystal cards?"

Gao Yang thought for a moment and casually said, "Prepare ten thousand magic gems for me, and store the rest in the crystal card."

With his current strength, magic gems are no longer a rare resource. He only wants these magic gems because Milofina likes shiny things.

Moreover, when traveling through the astral void, it's always a good idea to have some universally recognized resources on hand.

"Okay, Mr. Gao Yang, please wait a moment."

Yudros nodded in agreement, then turned and left decisively.

After a moment, Yudros handed a spatial ring to Gao Yang.

"Your Excellency Gao Yang, there are ten thousand magic gems inside the ring. Is there anything else you require?"

Gao Yang played with the spatial ring in his hand, took out a pill from it and flicked it toward Yudros, who reflexively caught it.

"Your Excellency Gaoyang, this is..."

Gao Yang didn't explain, he just said, "You've worked hard these past few days."

Yudros smiled, put away the magic gem, and said, "It's no trouble at all. It's our honor to serve you."

Gao Yang nodded, and seeing this, Yudros continued, "Your Excellency Gao Yang, now that the matter is settled, we are ready to set off again."

Gao Yang casually slipped the ring onto his finger and said, "I wish you a safe journey."

Although Yudros didn't quite understand the meaning of the sentence, he could roughly guess that it meant a blessing, so he smiled and nodded in agreement.

After the farewell, the entire starship seemed like a slumbering beast awakening from its deepest slumber, and began to move with extremely high efficiency.

In less than half an hour, the massive fleet of starships, carrying the wreckage of the two halves of the floating city, slowly flew into space and disappeared from sight.

Throughout the entire ordeal, Milofina never left her cat bed, while You Miao quietly cultivated in his own space. Milofina didn't particularly enjoy interacting with strangers, and while You Miao was somewhat curious, his long-standing upbringing instilled in him a clear understanding of his place and a good sense of propriety.

Gao Yang reached out and gently tapped the air, and the empty air rippled with visible waves under the tap of his knuckles.

The space rippled outwards, but it didn't cause any disturbance. Meanwhile, in the cat's nest hanging on a branch of the Chlogo tree, Milofina's cat ears flapped rapidly.

The next moment, a muffled murmur escaped her throat.

The space rippled, and Milofina appeared in front of Gao Yang, looking completely bewildered as he held her in his hands.

Milofina stared blankly at Gao Yang in front of her, her eyes wide with astonishment, and asked, "Gao Yang, how did you do that?"

Gao Yang, holding Milofina, smiled smugly and said, "It's simple. Just use sword energy to tear through space and locate your position."

"Oh~"

Milofina lost interest after hearing the beginning, and even tore through space—was that such a simple thing?
At least for a cat spirit specializing in support, this is simply impossible.

However, after only a moment of disappointment, she quickly raised her head and stared intently at Gao Yang.

Her actions puzzled Gao Yang, who couldn't help but ask, "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Milofina looked at Gao Yang seriously and said, "Gao Yang, if—and I mean if—a cat spirit wanted to learn swordsmanship from you, would you be willing to teach him?"

A cat spirit? Learning kendo?

After hearing Milofina's words, Gao Yang immediately pictured a cool and arrogant cat spirit standing upright, holding a miniature longsword, with sword energy swirling behind it like a tornado.

Shaking the images from his mind, Gao Yang looked at Milofina and asked with a smile, "That's not a problem, but what is the connection between this cat spirit and Milofina?"

"Meow, that's my grandmother's sister's family. She's from the same generation as me but was born later. Her name is Phil. We used to play together a lot when we were little. Her dream is to become the greatest swordsman of the cat elf clan."

Ah, what a lofty ambition!

“Since he is Milofina’s cousin, then of course there is no problem.”

As he spoke, Gao Yang glanced at You Miao, who was diligently cultivating in the distance. In any case, teaching one person was the same as teaching two, so there wasn't much difference.

Moreover, swordsmanship training is not so dogmatic; in Gao Yang's view, personal understanding is more important.

Of course, for the cat spirit, "the cat's enlightenment" is a more fitting description.

"So, Gao Yang, you've agreed?" Milofina straightened up and asked again to confirm.

“Of course, that’s Milofina’s cousin.” Gao Yang nodded with a smile.

"Meow~ Gao Yang, you're so nice."

Milofina nuzzled Gao Yang's cheek, swishing her big tail back and forth.

She then added, "I'll contact my grandmother now and see when it would be more appropriate for Phil to come."
