"Bang!"
Natsu was instantly sprawled on the ground again, coincidentally right next to where Gildarts had knocked him down earlier.
Immediately, the entire guild erupted in laughter.
Macao: "Hahahaha! How lame, Natsu, getting one-shotted by a newcomer."
Just then, a young man, shirtless, walked out and taunted,
"Natsu, you really are lame."
Hearing his sworn enemy taunt him, Natsu immediately lifted his head.
"What did you say, you clothes-shedding pervert!"
Gray immediately looked at himself and realized his shirt had disappeared at some point.
Σ(ŎдŎ|||)ﾉﾉ
"When?!"
He then slammed his head directly against Natsu's.
"So what, you fire-breathing punk, you still got one-shotted!"
"Huh?! I'm still stronger than you, you droopy-eyed freak!"
The people nearby started to egg them on, and soon the two were wrestling.
Ye Yang was a bit speechless.
Just then, a girl in armor walked towards Ye Yang.
"Welcome to the Guild. I heard you're very strong?"
"Uh… I'm… I'm alright…"
He then looked at San Mao and A Gou, who were still bragging, and black lines once again covered his face.
"Don't listen to those two blabbering."
Erza's eyes showed a hint of excitement, because she had heard from San Mao's boasting that Ye Yang's swordsmanship was also quite good.
So far, in the Guild, no one her age, except Laxus, was her match.
And Laxus wouldn't fight her, so after seeing Ye Yang, she always had the urge to spar with him.
Ye Yang looked at Erza, who was full of fighting spirit, and after scanning around, he didn't see Mirajane.
("It's year 778 now, has Mirajane not joined yet?")
"Uh, about that, maybe we should skip it today. I just joined and still have some things to do."
Erza pondered for a moment, then nodded.
"I'll wait for you tomorrow."
After saying that, Erza delivered a powerful blow to the heads of Natsu and Gray, who were fighting.
"No fighting among comrades!"
Instantly, large bumps appeared on both their heads, and they said in unison,
"&It hurts!"
"&Why are you copying me?!"
"&Do you want to fight, you punk?!"
"&Fight then, who's afraid of you?!"
Suddenly, the two speakers felt a chill, and looking back, they saw Erza's eyes glowing crimson.
"Die, both of you punks!"
"%&?#: &&"
A while later, the two were sprawled on the ground, beaten beyond recognition.
Meanwhile, Ye Yang had already pulled A Gou and San Mao away from the Guild to tidy up his room in the Guild's apartment.
After some tidying up, the three finally finished. Ye Yang called the two over.
"A Gou, San Mao."
"Boss, tell us."
Ye Yang looked at the two and said, "Since you've joined Fairy Tail, you should know that you can't be like before."
A Gou and San Mao nodded.
A Gou: "Boss, we know. Are we going to start taking quests and earning rewards now?"
San Mao: "Boss, don't worry, with us, wolong and fengchu, those quests will be solved in minutes. Boss, just prepare to lie at home and count money!"
Ye Yang looked at the two and shook his head helplessly.
"I plan to start taking quests tomorrow, but I'm not going to take you with me."
"Ah~"
San Mao spoke first: "Boss, how can you do this, go make a fortune alone?"
A Gou also showed a look of disappointment, but A Gou understood Ye Yang's meaning. Currently, their strength was just that of extremely strong ordinary people.
Going with Ye Yang would only hinder his pace and might even put Ye Yang in danger.
A Gou: "Mao'er, shut up for a moment and listen to what Boss has to say."
San Mao instantly closed his mouth.
"A Gou, it seems you already know."
A Gou nodded.
"So, for the next period of time, I will have the Old Man awaken your magic."
"I've already asked Uncle about your magic talent; it's not very strong."
"I've asked the Old Man to teach you some physical magic to strengthen your bodies."
"Once you learn that, I will teach you all the Six Styles. As for how far you two can go, that depends on your own efforts."
San Mao and A Gou were incredibly excited to hear that their Boss was finally going to pass on the Six Styles to them.
San Mao: "Boss, are you finally going to pass on your legacy to us?!"
"Bang!"
"It hurts!"
As soon as San Mao spoke, Ye Yang's fist directly landed.
(＊｀д´) "Don't talk as if I'm already dead!!"
"Hehe, Boss, you can go with peace of mind. Once A Gou and I learn it, we'll be able to help you!"
"When you meet my requirements, then we'll talk."
"Alright, we're pretty much done tidying up. The Old Man has prepared a banquet for us, it's about time to head to the Guild."

Night at the Fairy Tail Guild
The Guild was bustling with activity, drinking like it was a brawl.
Ye Yang, being somewhat lazy by nature, sat next to Makarov, sipping wine and watching the people below drink and frolic.
Seeing San Mao and A Gou getting along very well with the Guild members, he also showed a relieved smile.
Makarov looked at Ye Yang and said, "Stinky Brat, why aren't you joining them in the revelry? Today is a banquet I specially prepared for you all."
"Are you just hiding here with this old man?"
"Eh? I'm quite lazy, Old Man. Nothing can motivate me except money."
"Heh! You Stinky Brat, so young, yet all you talk about is money."
"What do you know, Old Man? I'm going to be the biggest landlord in Magnolia Town someday."
Makarov looked confused after hearing Ye Yang's words.
"Huh?"
"Shouldn't your ambition be to become the strongest Mage?"
"Gildarts already told me that at your age, you already have strength beyond an ordinary S-class, and your speed is extremely fast."
"Hardly anyone can hold you back."
"Now you're telling me you want to be a landlord?!"
"Tch, Old Man, don't look at how real estate isn't worth much now."
"I believe that in a few years, real estate prices will skyrocket."
"I'm going to be the man who becomes the strongest landlord."
"I've already thought it through: tomorrow, I'll take a subjugation quest and buy a house first."
"Then I'll rent it out, repeating the cycle."
"Once quantitative change leads to qualitative change, I'll just retire in the Guild and drink tea."
"I must be a genius, right?"
(งᵒ̌dishᵒ̌)ง⁼³
"Stinky Brat, how can you have such thoughts? I won't allow your power to be buried like this!"
"Old Man, you can't stop me. This is my dream."
"Ah! Are you trying to anger this old man to death?!"
"Old Man, when you reach my age, you'll understand."
"Huh? Me at your age."
"Are you even listening to what you're saying?!"
