Chapter 104: Powerful Ice Spirit, Tianjiao Trial!

"Chen Yan... Vice Chief Shen, I..."

Inside the Ice Chamber, Li Qingyuan was covered in Ice Crystal, his hair, eyebrows, and even his nasal mucus frozen into lumps, trembling as he looked at Chen Yan and Shen Yiwei.

His heart felt bitter and complicated.

"Chen Yan killed a Third Stage Ancient Divine Beast this time, and you helped as well; go back to logistics, they will give you five hundred Martial Merit Points," Shen Yiwei said with a smile.

"Alright!"

Li Qingyuan smiled, a very bright smile.

He was no longer bitter.

"Once you go back, logistics will take you to the Wen Xin Stele," Shen Yiwei said again, as Chen Yan's Limit-Breaking Awakening still needed to be kept secret.

Currently, only he and Luo Puxin knew about it.

As for Li Qingyuan and Si Wenyi, they only knew that Chen Yan possessed Ice Attribute Qi and Blood, not that Chen Yan had undergone a Limit-Breaking Awakening.

Si Wenyi was in logistics and had also passed through the Wen Xin Stele.

Li Qingyuan naturally had to as well.

Shen Yiwei waved one hand, and a flash of sword light enveloped the entire Mountain Cave.

Soon, they arrived at the Blood Pool Mountain Cave with Chen Yan.

Golden Formation Disk array patterns separated the Ice Chamber from the cave, and the moment that Mountain Goat Monster, whose body was covered in eyes, saw Shen Yiwei arrive, all its eyes closed.

"So it is the Son of this one," Shen Yiwei said with a slightly strange expression:

"Quite a coincidence, this one is a Fourth Stage Ancient Divine Beast."

As his voice fell, Chen Yan's Mu Jin changed slightly:

"Fourth Stage is equivalent to the Origin Realm?"

"That is the meaning; a Fourth Stage Ancient Divine Beast's combat power matches a Strong One of the Origin Realm, but once one reaches the Origin Realm, the gap between people begins to manifest."

Shen Yiwei said: "Some in the Origin Realm can overturn mountains and seas, while others are far inferior; this all depends on the foundation the martial artist established at lower Cultivation Realms."

Shen Yiwei did not explain too clearly, but instead said with interest:

"I have read the historical records of Yunmeng City.

This one should have been sealed here by an Elder of the Xia Imperial Clan a hundred years ago.

They did not kill it, wanting to use it as the final hurdle for the Tianjiao Trial.

Later, during the Qinzhou Incident, this Ancient Divine Beast was forgotten; I did not expect you to discover it, and it happens to be on the edge of the region for this Tianjiao Trial."

Chen Yan's Mu Guang flashed, but then he saw Shen Yiwei suddenly let out a soft exclamation:

"Ice Spirit?"

The strange look in his eyes grew more intense:

"The Ice Chamber sealing this Ancient Divine Beast actually contains..."

Shen Yiwei's Breath trembled:

"An Ice Spirit!"

"What is an Ice Spirit?" Chen Yan was also filled with a trace of excitement.

"An Ice Spirit is a type of Heaven and Earth Spiritual Object, most of which are nurtured within the bodies of living beings.

For example, the ice beast in Lao City that is about to undergo Dragon Transformation will certainly produce an Azure Dome Grade ice element treasure medicine when it transforms, and that is an Ice Spirit.

The Ice Spirit in this Ice Chamber is the same.

There is also a very small portion that is nurtured by Heaven and Earth, which is even rarer."

Shen Yiwei's Breath was somewhat rapid; at this moment, his gaze looked carefully through the Golden Formation Disk at the Ice Chamber holding the Mountain Goat Ancient Divine Beast:

"Look closely, there are many Ice Silkworms inside this Ice Chamber; this Ice Spirit was nurtured by these Ice Silkworms."

Chen Yan moved closer and also began to observe.

Sure enough, with just one look, he discovered dozens of Ice Silkworms hidden within the thick Bing Liang of this Ice Chamber.

So, the Ice Silkworm he had absorbed earlier was just one that had run out.

Just one had allowed his Min Zhe Qi Xue to rise from Martial Grade Ding-Rank to Martial Grade Class A.

Then what if Chen Yan absorbed all these dozens?

Chen Yan's heart pounded.

"Adjust your emotions; a Strong One will not become a slave to their emotions.

I know what you are thinking, but everything must be done according to one's ability."

Shen Yiwei said quietly, and Chen Yan nodded, hurriedly adjusting his mindset.

Soon, the two walked out of the Mountain Cave.

Although Chen Yan's expression was calm, the trace of agitation in his heart was hard to erase.

"I know what is in your heart; since the location of this Ice Chamber is within the Tianjiao Trial, you will definitely go."

Shen Yiwei was silent for a long while before speaking:

"But if you absorb the Ice Spirit, it also means you will release that Fourth Stage Ancient Divine Beast."

"I understand," Chen Yan said.

As long as he possessed the strength to kill a Fourth Stage Ancient Divine Beast before absorbing the Ice Spirit, there would be no problem.

"Hmm."

Shen Yiwei said:

"You go back and rest first; I will personally deliver the Heavenly Patrol and the Heavenly Patrol Extreme Dao."

"Many thanks, Vice Chief Shen."

Chen Yan bowed.

Why would Shen Yiwei help him? Could it just be because he has talent?

Chen Yan pondered in his heart; there are many people with talent.

Shen Yiwei helped him because there is some kind of shared quality between them.

But even so, the other party truly helped him.

He is very grateful.

"Mm!"

Shen Yiwei nodded with gratification:

"I accept this gesture; I feel I deserve it.

Go back."

Chen Yan nodded.

At night.

In the Cloud Mid Courtyard, the pavilion near the water enjoys the moonlight first.

"Hahahaha, the Chu Family, what a fine Chu Family, unable to accomplish anything, yet capable of ruining everything!"

Vermilion railings and ornate windows, Diao Liang Hua Dong.

In the Tingyuan, the rockeries are exquisite, the pond water winds, the craggy peaks are strange, and the flowing water reflects the moon.

The bright silver-gray moonlight shone upon Gong Hangwen's sinister face, making the man appear even more ferocious.

The matter of the Chu Family has already been reported to the Qinzhou Town Martial Guard; even though the Gong Family pulled many strings, it was difficult to avoid being implicated.

With the Chu Family in trouble, no one will believe the Gong Family is innocent.

"Brother Tuo, did I trust the Chu Family too much?" Gong Hangwen spoke:

"Even if that third-rank Shen Shi matures and I refine the Displacement Pattern, I fear it would be difficult to defeat Shen Yiwei."

In the courtyard, Gong Tuo sat alone on a stone stool, in silence.

"Brother Tuo?" Gong Hangwen spoke again.

"Earlier, something happened in the True Martial Class." Gong Tuo said in a low voice.

"Which Xian?"

"Luoshan County." Gong Tuo pressed a single finger against the chessboard before him, his Mu Guang complex:

"During the day, Zhao Yuanxin from Riqian County came to challenge Chu Xuansheng."

Gong Hangwen's expression changed slightly; this Zhao Yuanxin is considered a newly emerged genius, and his Gong Family was already preparing to offer a Contract.

Gong Tuo, however, spoke slowly:

"Chu Xuansheng was not there, so the Heavenly Pride of the Luoshan County True Martial Class directed their spearhead at Chen Yan.

Chen Yan made a move for only an instant, and he suppressed almost all of the True Martial Class Top Ten."

As Gong Tuo's voice fell, Gong Hangwen's Mu Guang changed instantly:

"Who is Chen Yan?!"

"He is the one Brother Hangwen originally intended to take under your command, but because he had some hostility with the Chu Family, you gave up on him.

Now he has already joined the Military Martial Guard and is highly likely to have entered the New Dragon Guard."

Gong Hangwen fell into silence.

Suppressing the True Martial Class Top Ten in an instant?

Does this Chen Yan have the aptitude of the Top Twenty of Tianjiao List?

"His strength might have already reached the Top Ten of Tianjiao List!" Gong Tuo said.

Gong Hangwen's body stiffened suddenly:

"Brother Tuo, you think so highly of him?"

"It is not that I think highly of him, but that he did indeed suppress the other geniuses in an instant; that Zhao Yuanxin from Riqian County didn't even dare to look at Chen Yan before running away."

Gong Hangwen narrowed his eyes, thinking of the current state of the Chu Family.

He regretted it deeply in his heart.

The next instant, he walked toward the Yuan Wai.

"It's too late!"

Gong Tuo shouted in a low voice:

"Brother Hangwen, I told you about Chen Yan, not to have you go and recruit him; he has already joined the Military Martial Guard, why bother coming to my Gong Family?"

Gong Tuo said with an ugly expression:

"I am just saying, Brother Hangwen, do you really not feel that you did wrong?"

He found it hard to believe that the Chu Family would actually do such a thing.

He truly did not know before.

He suddenly felt that his own Family was the one standing on the opposite side of the Great Xia.

"I did wrong?" Gong Hangwen Frown, shouted in a low voice:

"Brother Tuo!

Why do you still not understand? In this world, just because I know something is wrong does not mean I can choose not to do it!"

Gong Hangwen's expression became increasingly ugly and complex:

"Could I not know how formidable Shen Yiwei is?

The Five Clans are right there; even the Lao City Chen Family is merely struggling to survive, so what qualifications does my Gong Family have to say we won't do it?"

He turned and arrived before the main gate:

"I will go find that Chen Yan. My Gong Family has money and can provide him with resources; whatever Shen Yiwei gives, I will double it."

"The prerequisite is that he must truly have that aptitude!"

He did not want to lose again!

One step wrong, every step is wrong!

He did not want to die at the hands of Shen Yiwei.

Bang!

The vermilion gate carved with cloud dragons and wind tigers was opened by Gong Hangwen.

The Blood Qi Barrier shrouding the entire Tingyuan was torn apart.

Outside the gate.

Chu Xuanxian, dressed in black, stood quietly, while Chu Xuansheng, dressed in White Clothes, had been kneeling before the gate the entire time.

"Gong Vice Chief!" Chu Xuansheng hurriedly spoke.

"Want to save your Father?" Gong Hangwen spoke indifferently.

"I want to save him!" Chu Xuansheng spoke, his fists clenched tight, endless humiliation congealing in the depths of his eyes.

His grandfather, his uncle, and his elder uncle were all dead.

Now, only his Father, Chu Lan, was still alive.

But because of the Chu Family affair, his Father's life or death was uncertain.

He was a genius, yet today he had knelt before the Gong Family gate for an entire day, and Gong Hangwen had ignored him completely.

He felt stifled, he felt angry, but at this moment he could only lower his Brain in humility:

"Please save my Father!

Even if my Chu Family has no merit, we have suffered..."

Whoosh.

Gong Hangwen waved one hand, and a current of air wrapped around Chu Xuansheng; the two vanished instantly.

Outside the gate, Chu Xuanxian frowned as he looked at Gong Tuo in the courtyard, then bowed slightly, preparing to leave.

"Are you cold-hearted?" Gong Tuo spoke:

"Gong Hangwen treats your Chu Family this way; are you cold-hearted?"

Chu Xuanxian's expression was calm:

"The winner is king and the loser is the villain; my Chu Family has lost, but I have not yet lost."

Gong Tuo felt a chill in his heart; this Chu Xuanxian had just lost his Father, and now the Chu Family was about to perish, yet he was far too calm at this moment.

"If you want to win, you must at least defeat Chen Yan."

"Who is Chen Yan?" Chu Xuanxian frowned.

Gong Tuo was about to speak, but Chu Xuanxian walked away alone:

"Uncle Gong Tuo, my Sword Intent is Three-Product; I believe I can contend for the top three!"

Gong Tuo fell into Silence.

…………

"Chen Yan, come out!"

In the True Martial Class Cultivation Room.

Chen Yan, who was in the middle of Observation and Imagination of the Green Pupil Ancient Divine Beast Eye, was awakened by this Low Roar.

Chen Yan's Mu Guang was clear, and some strange emotions inevitably stirred in his heart.

He had cultivated to this point, always maintaining a certain energy in his heart to keep his mind calm and tranquil.

But if this energy were suddenly affected by things from the Outer Realm, it would...

At the same time.

Outside the room.

Chu Xuansheng spoke with a difficult expression:

"Chen Yan, fight me!"

"Fight me!"

His voice was like Thunder Element, his fists were clenched tight, and bloodshot veins were gathering in his eyes.

Gong Hangwen had only told him that if he defeated Chen Yan, he could consider saving his Father.

He did not know why it had to be Chen Yan.

He was even wondering why Gong Hangwen would know Chen Yan's name.

Chen Yan had defeated him before, but having been persecuted by Chu Feiyuan for so long, he was not clear about what his actual strength was.

Chen Yan was a pitiful person.

He did not want to bully a pitiful person, but today he had no choice.

As for the affairs of the True Martial Class, he did not know.

He had knelt at the Gong Family for an entire day and did not know about the events of the Outer Realm.

At this moment, True Martial Class students arrived one after another, each keeping a great distance from Chu Xuansheng, their expressions tense.

Liu Zong, Zhuo Qingren, and others even had bandages wrapped around their bodies.

Chu Xuansheng did not care to concern himself with these things.

"Chen Yan, come out!" Chu Xuansheng roared:

"Come out, I say!"

The sound of his anger resounded through the High Heaven.

Above the High Heaven, Gong Hangwen stood quietly, narrowing his eyes.

He wanted to see exactly what kind of strength Chen Yan possessed.

The next moment.

"Chen Yan!!!"

Boom!

A wave of air exploded from in front of Chu Xuansheng.

Chu Xuansheng's Mu Jin changed instantly, and just as he was about to strike, the object that had come crashing over was already before him.

That was...

A bowl?

"You!!!"

Chu Xuansheng's Mu Jin became sharp to the extreme; at this moment, the strength in his entire body erupted, and his surging SoulRefining rolled and churned.

The next instant, however, his Pupil suddenly widened.

Boom!

The air wave exploded from Chu Xuansheng's Chest, and before he could even strike, he was sent flying away by the impact.

Boom, boom, boom, boom...

A series of air-exploding sounds rang out; Chu Xuansheng's body collided with Tree after Tree, until it smashed a giant crater into the wall of a Dormitory Building in the distance, embedding him deep within the wall.

He widened his eyes, utterly dazed, unable to believe he would lose to Chen Yan in such a way.

"Ah!!!"

A female student watching from the sidelines screamed out.

The entire True Martial Class instantly fell into a state of inescapable shock.

Clang!

Where Chu Xuansheng had originally been standing, an Azure Glazed Porcelain Bowl imprinted with blue flowers fell down.

After its circular base traced a circle on the ground, it settled steadily onto the concrete floor.

It was hard to imagine that this Azure Glazed Porcelain Bowl, which had smashed Chu Xuansheng away, did not even have a single crack.

Everyone's Frost Mo constricted as they looked toward the Villa.

The handsome Youth with his upper body bare only glanced at Chu Xuansheng indifferently.

"If you want to get beaten, go somewhere else."

Chen Yan closed the door.

Inside the room, it was pitch Darkness.

Yet on the coffee table sat an Azure Glazed Porcelain Bowl, exactly the one Chen Yan had just thrown out.

In an instant, it had returned.

Chen Yan's expression was calm.

"Gong Vice Chief, if you want to find me, why go to such lengths?"

On the sofa, the figure hidden in the Darkness had originally worn a Smile at the corners of their mouth, but after hearing this sentence from Chen Yan, the Smile vanished.
