Chapter 249: Chapter 112: Qi and Blood 7 Transformations into a Dragon! The Legend Ends! (10,000-Word Mega Chapter)_6
Su Changkong made up his mind; the millennia-old family, the Great Wind Iron Cavalry, and Hong Zhenxiang were only part of what Dafeng State City had to offer, and as the center of a whole state, it was bound to have more opportunities and resources!
However, Su Changkong was not in a hurry; he needed to completely settle the affairs of the Giant Whale Gang first.
“Master Su.”
In the Pharmacy’s Pill Refining Room, a teenager bowed to Su Changkong with utmost respect.
The teenager’s name was Sikong Qing, chosen by the Sikong Family for having a talent and foundation in alchemy, and was the one to take over Su Changkong’s position as an alchemist, smart and eager to learn.
“Alright, begin your alchemy, I will guide you as best as I can,” Su Changkong said with a slight nod to Sikong Qing.
When Su Changkong had first arrived at the Giant Whale Gang, Gong Zheng was about to leave and had passed on his alchemy techniques to Su Changkong without reservation; now Su Changkong was doing the same, imparting his experience and techniques in alchemy to Sikong Qing. How much he could learn was up to his own talent!
“Yes!” Sikong Qing’s face lit up with excitement, aware that the young man standing before him, only a year or two older than himself, ranked among the top few in alchemy in Ink Forest Prefecture City.
Su Changkong taught Sikong Qing alchemy, and on normal days, he focused on practicing his archery. Apart from the difficult-to-master Whale Technique that could not be quickly mastered, his other martial arts had reached the 8th realm or above. A qualitative breakthrough in a short time was not realistic, but with his Wind Thunder Archery at the 7th realm and over 60%, he believed that with his current potential, reaching the 8th realm before leaving the Giant Whale Gang was not a problem!
“Elder Sikong, let’s have the Young Gang Leader inherit the position of Gang Leader in the next few days,” Su Changkong said as he went to speak with Sikong Wen about this matter.
“Alright… we’ll pick an auspicious date, and when the time comes, I hope Little Friend Su will cooperate with us,” Sikong Wen replied, visibly touched, nodding with a sigh.
Sikong Wen knew, Su Changkong’s suggestion for Sikong Zhan to take over as Gang Leader likely meant he was preparing to leave the Giant Whale Gang.
To outsiders, Su Changkong’s time in the Giant Whale Gang was extremely low-key, simply refining pills quietly and cultivating alone, not well-known in Ink Forest Prefecture City, and except for disciples of the Giant Whale Gang, he was recognized by few.
But Sikong Wen knew of the astonishing feats Su Changkong had accomplished: he had slain the rebellious Deputy Gang Leader Meng Sang, quelled the internal strife of the Giant Whale Gang.
He commanded the battlefield at the Blue Rain Sea, single-handedly defeating many top-tier experts of the sea pirates, breaking the coalition of nearly ten sea pirate groups!
Lurking within Ink Forest Prefecture City, he vanquished the terrifying demon monster that Sikong Yong had hidden, which also met a silent and unremarkable end at the hands of Su Changkong; even recently he fought against the disciple of the noble families Mu Jin without falling behind.
Any of these feats would be enough to shake Martial World of Ink Forest Prefecture City. Su Changkong, still young, could already be called the strongest in Ink Forest Prefecture City, yet he himself did not change at all for fame or profit. Remaining low-profile, he was always in arduous cultivation, striving for higher realms with the unyielding heart of a true warrior!
Jiao Dragons do not curl up in small ponds – Su Changkong’s departure was only a matter of time, and Sikong Wen and others could not retain him.
“Alas… if Yong Er were still alive, by now, he would have made the same choice to venture into the wider world, right?” Sikong Wen wondered sadly in his heart. In his youth, he too had grand ambitions and had been the Gang Leader of the Giant Whale Gang.
But as time passed, and with his increasing age and frailty, all the grand ambitions had faded into obscurity, and he only wished to protect the Sikong Family and the Giant Whale Gang’s legacy, to live out his days in peace.
Su Changkong, however, was full of vitality, with an even firmer heart than Sikong Yong and a higher talent in Martial Arts. Sikong Wen could only wish in his heart that Su Changkong would continue to advance and achieve his goals!
Seven days later, big news spread throughout the Martial World of Ink Forest Prefecture City.
The Giant Whale Gang held a ceremony for the succession of their Gang Leader. The legendary Gang Leader Sikong Yong formally handed over the position of Gang Leader to his son Sikong Zhan, announcing that he would once again go into seclusion, and unless the Giant Whale Gang faced dire adversity, he would not easily interfere with outside matters, focusing instead on striving for a higher Martial Arts Realm.
Last time he secluded himself, Sikong Yong was in isolation for nearly ten years, and when he emerged, he accomplished something that shook Ink Forest Prefecture City’s Martial World. This time, people knew the seclusion might last even longer than the last.
It could be ten years, twenty years, thirty years; whether he would still have the ambition of his youth at his advanced age was unknown. It seemed to herald the end of an era for a legendary figure of Ink Forest Prefecture City!
And for Su Changkong, this was merely the beginning of a new chapter in his life!
