Inch of Radiance Vol 1 Chapter 10.1

Book 1 Chapter 10.1 – Exam 

As Li Yang was making great breakthroughs and his Flying Dagger grew increasingly stronger as well. After thinking about the mighty strength of the abnormal ‘Xiao Li Flying Dagger’, Tian Lin and Hei Yan began to feel a quiver within their hearts, and looked towards Li Yang, who currently had a blazing look in his eyes.

When Li Yang saw the two individual’s faces, he at once said with a pitiful and innocent expression, “This… I only did a bit of closed door training and accidentally obtained the ‘Six Pure Yang’ second layer.”

Tian Ling was a bit jealous, and said in a sour and unhappy tone, “Heng heng, barely did some closed door training? Accidentally? My cultivation during the past ten year had involved several closed door training sessions and I’ve only recently finally reached the third layer. You only cultivated for two years, Heavens, where is my ‘accident’? G.o.d, you can’t be so selective… forget it, I really can’t be compared to such a freak. Comparing yourself with others will only cause someone to be angry.” Tian Lin pursed his lips, murmuring before turning silent.

Tian Lin suddenly looked at Li Yang, then looked at Hei Yan. He seemed like he thought of something, but then shook his head and said, “Sigh, Hei Yan, Li Yang, the two of you are most likely going to leave. In the future, we brothers will have to separate.”

Tian appeared to be a bit sad, after all, he had been together with Li Yang and Hei Yan for quite a long time, and all three were secret defenders of the same country so their feelings for each other were quite strong. The atmosphere between the three of them suddenly became a bit depressed.

“Haha, Tian Lin you’re actually crying, haha! I’m dying of laughter!” Li Yang suddenly laughed while pointing at Tian Lin, and the Hei Yan on the side at this side also looked at Tian Lin in confusion.

Tian Lin was startled, and immediately began to rub his eyes before making some excuses. “Haha, the wind got in my eyes!” This was an underground base, so how could there possibly be wind?

Tian Lin carefully rubbed his eyes, and although they were still a bit moist, no more tears fell. Tian at once angrily looked at Li Yang before saying, “Li Yang, you little brat actually lied to me. I didn’t cry at all, yet you…”

Li Yang released a hehe laugh before saying, “Didn’t you say that the wind got in your eyes?”

“I…” Tian Lin was stumped for words. “You brat, you dare trick me!” Tian Lin in embarra.s.sment ran at Li Yang, and Li Yang also returned a fist. Hei Yan who was on the side let out a few “Hou Hou’ sounds before also joining the brawl.

The previous oppressive and sad atmosphere was immediately dispelled, and the three national defenders were now messing around. None of them brought up future events again, and within the base’s dining hall the three of them happily ate dinner before returning to their villas.

…

Within Yu Ming building’s 97th floor, Chu Tianshang and Chu Tianyu and three other group executives were currently bowling.

“Chairman, Sheng Ling group’s heir Lin Tianyu’s plane has already arrived

Behind Chu Tianshang was a middle aged man in a black suit. He was speaking while wiping Chu Tianshang’s bowling ball.

Chu Yu at once said, “That’s right, it is precisely that famous British group!”

The distant Chu Tianyu placed his bowling ball away and walked over and asked, “Eldest brother, this Sheng Lin group that you guys are talking about, I’ve heard things about as well. It is one of the world’s top 50 companies, but exactly how strong is this Sheng Lin group? Chu Yu, tell me some more!”

Chu Yu immediately replied, “Yes, director!”

Chu Yu took a moment to organize his thoughts, then he began to explain seriously. “Sheng Lin group’s a.s.sets total to about 600 billion American dollars. In England, it is known as the third largest super group, being just under “British Petroleum’ and ‘Vodafone”. Sheng Lin group is a part of a branching family system, and each family can privately own roughly 30 million dollars. Large-scale businesses needed to be discussed with the family’s elder group. Sheng Lin group’s private owners were extremely successful overseas as well; compared to the second place Li Family, they roughly double their a.s.sets.”

Chu Tianyu shook his head in disbelief and said, “Sheng Lin group has a total of 600 billion dollars’ worth of a.s.sets? This is truly unbelievable. It is one of the top 50 within the Fortune 500 companies, and one of England’s three top companies. Within the top 50 companies of the world, the lowest has about 60 billion dollars’ worth of a.s.sets. For Sheng Lin group to own 600 billion dollars in total a.s.sets and yearly incomes of 60 billion dollars, no wonder they are so formidable!”

Chu Yu also respectfully said, “The director is correct, within the world’s top 50 powers, our China has ‘National Grid’, ‘China National Petroleum Corporation’ and ‘PetroChina’. Within these three great nationalized industries, ‘China National Petroleum Corporation’ and ‘PetroChina’ definitely surpa.s.ses 1 trillion dollars in total a.s.sets. If we were to compare their yearly incomes, Sheng Lin group does not fall short of these great industries at all. Also, China’s most powerful ‘National Grid’ has the most abundant capital, their yearly turnovers surpa.s.sing 100 billion dollars, overpowering this Sheng Lin group! However, Sheng Lin group is close at 600 billion dollars in total a.s.sets, and with this said, the strength of the Sheng Lin group’s operations are obvious.”

“Chairman, this time, Lin Tianyu is carrying 30 billion dollars’ worth of investments and our country values this matter greatly. Shouldn’t our Yu Ming group attempt to get closer to this Lin Tianyu?” Chu Yu inquired.

Chu Tianshang simply smiled and said, “Of course; this Sheng Lin group is a large tree. My Yu Ming group can also be considered a leading enterprise in China, but in front of the Sheng Lin group, it can’t even be considered significant!” Chu Tianshang at once turned around and spoke to his younger brother Chu Tianyu and said, “Tianyu, this time you need to go and personally chat with Lin Tianyu. Right, bring the ‘Shark Four’ with you, and afterwards gift the ‘Shark Four’ to Lin Tianyu as a gift. Don’t forget to show off the ‘Shark Four’ members’ strength a bit.”

When Chu Tianyu heard this, he immediately nodded his head and said, “Eldest brother, rest a.s.sured, I will cleanly and efficiently execute this task. However, to let the ‘Shark Four’ go as well, why did eldest brother decide to make this decision?”

Chu Tianshang picked up his bowling ball and wiped it slightly. “There’s not much to it. With Sheng Lin group’s being such a formidable group and having such high yearly turnovers, it’s impossible to not have offended any compet.i.tors. Later when we send ‘Shark Five’ to a.s.sa.s.sinate Lin Tianyu and our ‘Shark Four’ manages to protect him, what do you think his opinion of us would be then?”

“Chu Tong, Shark Four and Shark Five are all your subordinates, so you will be in charge of this ordeal. I have faith that you will make Lin Tianyu believe that the a.s.sa.s.sins were sent from his compet.i.tors!” Chu Tianshang turned around and said to the apathetic man sitting in the corner.

“You don’t have to worry about it anymore Chairman, this small task definitely won’t have any flaws!” Chu Tong was still sitting lying down in his recliner, and he didn’t even lift up his head. This Chu Tong was a Chu family genius, and his cultivation methods were also a bit different. This sluggish appearance was a part of his unique look.

October 20th, early morning. Today was the day of the examination.

Li Yang was standing on the villa balcony, his eyes were tightly shut, and he was absorbing the thick and astonis.h.i.+ng worldly spiritual essence. Stream after stream of the worldly spiritual essence directly flowed into Li Yang, and large amounts of it began to continuously swirl and operate within his body. These streams endlessly refined and purified his body, and although the absorption was quite fast, for Li Yang this speed was no longer excessively strange.

Suddenly, Li Yang opened his eyes, the corners of his mouth revealing a smile. “This afternoon, I will buy a wedding ring!”
