Chapter 404: Receiving the Reward
Seeing that Mo Yu had made up his mind, Ma Chen didn't say much more. After a brief pause, he retrieved a golden jade piece from his storage ring and handed it to Mo Yu.
"Take this jade with you. In the future, I'll be able to find you through it. And if you ever encounter a problem you can't solve, crush it, and I'll sense it."
Mo Yu nodded slightly, respectfully accepting the ancient jade and placing it into his own storage ring. He clasped his hands in gratitude and said, "Thank you, Elder Ma."
Ma Chen smiled and patted Mo Yu's shoulder lightly. He said slowly, "Old Snake was willing to risk his life to save you, which shows how much he valued you. He was a loner all these years, but now that he has such an outstanding successor like you, I naturally want to support you as well."
Mo Yu nodded quietly. He was fully aware of the efforts and sacrifices Uncle Snake had made for him. In his heart, he had long regarded Uncle Snake as family.
"Well, I imagine Ma Teng has already taken over the Clan Leader position by now. You should go claim the reward you're due. Space treasures aren't rare in our clan, so we can surely meet your needs. Also, be cautious of the master swordsmith. You killed his disciple, and based on what I know about him, he holds grudges and won't let this go. An eighth-tier weapon refiner holds power comparable to the Myriad Sword Pavilion, so be extra careful. If you find yourself in a situation you can't handle, just crush the jade."
Mo Yu nodded in acknowledgment and, after thanking Ma Chen once again, turned and left the pavilion.
Watching Mo Yu leave, Ma Chen exhaled softly. His gaze shifted to the sky as he murmured, "Old Snake, at least I've finally gotten some news about you. What a pity I can't see you in person to mock your sorry state! But it's good that you've left behind a reliable successor…"
…
Meanwhile, Mo Yu had no idea that Ma Chen was reminiscing about Uncle Snake. Not long after leaving the pavilion, he encountered two familiar figures.
"Elder Ma You, Miss Yunlu..." Mo Yu quickly greeted them.
"Mo Yu, you're back." Upon seeing him, Ma Yunlu hurried over, her feminine fragrance filling the air.
"What were you talking to my grandfather about for so long? As his granddaughter, I rarely get to spend that much time with him!" Ma Yunlu pouted slightly, a hint of jealousy in her tone.
Mo Yu chuckled lightly. "Nothing much, just some old stories," he replied, brushing off the question.
Hearing this, Ma Yunlu looked skeptical, her mind drifting back to what Mo Yu had said earlier about her grandfather's close friend.
"Alright, let's not talk about that. Mo Yu, we really have you to thank for defeating Ma Chao. If not for you, the second family would have likely lost the competition for the Clan Leader seat," Elder Ma You said as he patted Mo Yu on the shoulder with a smile.
As a supporter of the second family, Ma Teng's rise to power was highly beneficial to him, so he had developed a strong fondness for Mo Yu, especially after the decisive third round.
"Haha, Elder Ma You is too kind. I had an agreement with Clan Leader Ma Teng, so this was something I was supposed to do," Mo Yu replied with a calm smile.
"Oh, right. I almost forgot," Ma You said, patting his head. He reached into his robe and pulled out three gray storage rings, handing them to Mo Yu with a smile.
"With the support of the Elder Council, the Clan Leader has now fully taken control of the clan's affairs. He instructed me to immediately visit the clan's treasure vault and retrieve three storage rings filled with space treasures for you. The space treasures from our clan's vault are of much higher quality than those auctioned in Golden City, so they should meet your needs. Of course, the Clan Leader also said that if these aren't enough, just let me know, and we'll gather more from the vault."
Taking the three rings from Ma You, Mo Yu quickly scanned them with his soul power. Countless space treasures filled with immense spatial energy appeared before his eyes, and a look of joy crossed his face. He clasped his hands gratefully and said, "Please thank the Clan Leader on my behalf. These three storage rings should be more than sufficient."
Compared to the single low-tier storage ring he had previously received, these three rings were on a completely different level. Not only were the treasures of much higher quality, but one of the rings was even a mid-tier storage ring. The quality and quantity of the treasures had vastly improved.
With these three rings of space treasures, Mo Yu would not only be able to elevate the Void Lightning Thunder to its peak but also upgrade his own Heavenly Thunder Body to the next level!
His visit to the Golden Warhorse Clan had definitely not been in vain.
Seeing the joy on Mo Yu's face, Ma You smiled slightly. Before coming, Ma Teng had specifically instructed him to make sure Mo Yu's reward was satisfactory and that there was no room for disappointment.
After witnessing Mo Yu's remarkable talent in the arena, everyone, including Ma Teng, was eager to win him over. Although they didn't know exactly why Mo Yu needed so many space treasures, Ma You had almost emptied the vault under Ma Teng's orders.
Appreciating Ma Teng's gesture, Mo Yu smiled back. After expressing his gratitude, he suddenly remembered something and asked Ma You, "I'd like to find a quiet room to train for a few days. Would that be possible here?"
Hearing this, Ma You was slightly taken aback, but then quickly nodded with a smile. "Of course, that's no problem at all. Follow me, and I'll arrange for you to use a quiet training chamber."
Seeing this, Mo Yu smiled and nodded, then followed Ma You, bidding farewell to Ma Yunlu as they headed toward a section of the grand hall.
…
After walking for about five minutes, they arrived at a row of unique training chambers, seemingly constructed from special materials.
Stopping at the leftmost room, Ma You said, "This is my personal training chamber. Since you need it, you can use it for now."
With those words, Ma You took out a golden card and placed it on the door lock. The tightly closed door slowly opened, revealing a spacious, quiet training room.
Following Ma You into the chamber, Mo Yu immediately felt as if he had been completely isolated from the outside world, as though he had entered another dimension.
"How do you like it? These are training chambers reserved for elders of our clan. Each one has been reinforced with spatial barriers by Dou Zun (Battle Venerate) experts, completely isolating it from all external interference," Ma You explained with a smile.
Hearing this, Mo Yu was slightly surprised but then nodded with satisfaction. Whether it was the growth of the Void Lightning Thunder or the evolution of his physique, both required significant energy, and with a training room that could block out external influences, it was perfect.
Seeing that Mo Yu was pleased, Ma You handed him the golden key card and then left the room with a smile.
After bidding farewell to Ma You, Mo Yu returned to the training chamber and carefully took out the three storage rings he had received.
Looking at the rings, Mo Yu smiled slightly and muttered to himself, "Void Lightning Thunder, it's time to return to your peak!"
