Chapter 107: If my Brother came, he would probably be beaten until he cried

~17 min read 3,389 words

The cicadas chirp incessantly, and the grasshoppers beat their wings.

The wheat waves in the fields sway like emerald curtains in the wind, heavy with grain, as if nodding and whispering.

Chen Yan and his sister walk along the Xiang Lu, with crisp laughter ringing out from time to time.

Chen Yan looks around at the distant Qingshan, dark green like a screen, and a sense of relief emerges in his heart.

If not for his sister coming to find him, he would likely have buried himself in endless Cultivation Technique again.

Although he was growing stronger, his mood was also incredibly stifled.

He constantly broke through his limits and killed enemies, and the journey he had walked was heavy indeed.

Only when Chen Yu came to find him did Chen Yan suddenly recall the true purpose of his path into Martial Dao.

It was nothing more than the happiness of his father and sister, and peace before his eyes.

Patting Chen Yu on the head, Chen Yan plucked a foxtail grass and held it in his Mouth.

When they were small, he often did this, playing in the countryside with his sister.

At that time, he was carefree and very happy.

Chen Yan looked toward the horizon; the world was vast and grand.

"Brother, what do you want to eat?"

"Brother, do you want to eat hot pot?"

"By the way, Lao Ge, have you found me a sister-in-law yet?"

Beside him, Chen Yu chattered incessantly; Chen Yan's expression shifted slightly, and he suddenly flicked his Finger at Chen Yu's forehead:

"You're just a child, why are you so precocious?"

Chen Yu pursed her lips, quite dissatisfied.

She wasn't precocious at all; it was clearly her Lao Ge who only cared about Cultivation Technique all day.

In the Consciousness World.

Seeing this pair of siblings bickering, the Red Skirt Woman felt calm and sat down quietly.

"Master, shall we begin?"

Chen Yu whispered in her heart.

"You may."

The Red Skirt Woman spoke:

"Creating an Earth Vein Grade, third-tier Protective Formation requires extreme focus, and it cannot be discovered by your Brother, so you need to be careful as well."

"Understood."

Chen Yu whispered in her heart.

After her Master went to the Chu Family to cause a scene last time, her Divine Soul was injured and has only now recovered.

Chen Yu wanted to ask her Master to cast an Earth Vein Grade, third-tier Protective Formation on Chen Yan.

With an Earth Vein Grade, third-tier Protective Formation, even if a SoulRefining Strong One at the peak of the Golden Body Realm were to attack Chen Yan, the Protective Formation could block at least ten attacks.

"I really can't do anything with you, my disciple."

The Red Skirt Woman smiled and shook her head, her hands floating, and Golden Light appeared between her Fingers.

She did not actually object to casting the Array for Chen Yan.

She had also seen the strength this Youth named Chen Yan had displayed along the way.

At first, she had indeed been somewhat indifferent.

It was not until later, when he instantly killed the Hundred Meridians realm assassin at Qingshan and revealed his true self, that he entered her sight for the first time.

Furthermore, for such a long time, Chen Yan had shielded Chen Yu from many crises, which had also touched her and stirred her emotions.

A hint of a Smile appeared in the eyes of the fifteen-year-old girl, and only after seeing her Master begin to condense the Array Disk did she let out a long breath.

The panic that had been weighing on her heart was reduced by quite a bit.

She couldn't help but clutch the hem of her Elder Brother's clothes.

It was right at this moment.

"Hmm?"

The Red-Clothed Woman's expression changed slightly:

"I sense that something is monitoring you and your Brother."

Chen Yu's Pupil trembled, and she hurriedly looked around.

But she saw that on the paths between the fields, the lush vegetation was bathed in the scorching sunlight, swaying gently in a scene of peace.

"Where?" Chen Yu exclaimed in her heart, her body stiffening.

"I don't know, I just have a feeling."

The Red Skirt Woman frowned tightly:

"After all, my Divine Soul is too incomplete, and the Perception ability of this strand of Divine Soul is extremely poor..."

In front of ordinary people, her Perception was incredibly powerful.

But in front of powerful martial artists, her Perception was insufficient.

After all, she was only a Residual Soul.

Chen Yu's expression changed slightly, her eyes scanning the surroundings with extreme vigilance.

"Xiaoyu, after your Awakening, I haven't really paid attention to your progress in SoulRefining."

Beside her, Chen Yan said with a Smile, his Mu Guang looking toward the wheat field beside them.

"Brother, I..." Chen Yu began, but she felt anxious in her heart and was about to speak.

"Brother, I..." Chen Yu opened her mouth, but she felt somewhat anxious in her heart and was just about to speak.

Swish!

That dog-tail herb originally held in Chen Yan's Mouth suddenly shot out like an Arrow.

Chen Yan walked over and picked up the dog-tail herb again; a brownish-earth grasshopper was skewered on the stalk.

The grasshopper's body trembled a few times, followed by a faint sound of 'chi-chi' electrical current; Chen Yan glanced at it indifferently and threw the grasshopper away like trash.

"How many organs have you reached now?"

Chen Yan looked at Chen Yu and pulled out another dog-tail herb to hold in his Mouth.

"Two organs..."

"Hm?" Chen Yan's expression was filled with surprise and uncertainty; hadn't his Sister just had her Awakening?

"What is your Casting Degree?"

"Heart... about Five Percent, I suppose..."

Chen Yan looked at Chen Yu with surprise and uncertainty; was his Sister a genius?

How long had it been since her Awakening?

"Do you have a Qi Blood Cultivation Technique?"

"I do."

"What level is it..."

"The one my teacher gave me..."

"I'll go find you a better one."

"No need, Brother, high-level Qi Blood Cultivation Techniques are difficult to learn."

"That's true, too..."

Chen Yan reached out to stroke his chin, wondering if he should participate in his Sister's path of Cultivation Technique.

Even if he let Chen Yu walk her own path, he had to prepare the necessary resources for her.

Chen Yan kept pondering, but failed to notice the complexity in the depths of Chen Yu's eyes beside him.

"There's actually no need to prepare a Protective Formation for your Brother."

In the Consciousness World, the Red Skirt Woman spoke, a trace of shock in her eyes:

"Your Brother's Perception exceeds that of ordinary people; although the movement just now was very slight, the flow of power between his movements was terrifying."

The astonishment in the Red Skirt Woman's eyes grew increasingly intense.

Her Perception was indeed poor, but she had eyes.

Just now, Chen Yan had instantly discovered that grasshopper, which was an embedded surveillance device hidden among the Wheat leaves.

His Perception was even stronger than hers in her Residual Soul state!

Just now, when Chen Yan spat out the dog-tail herb, the surge of power in his Mouth, face, and even his entire body had reached an extremely profound level.

"Or perhaps... your Brother has already reached the Jidan Realm Peak, nearing the level of seventy-two Grain Marks."

The Red Skirt Woman spoke, a strong sense of absurdity in her heart.

Chen Yu opened her Mouth.

Her Brother had clearly just dealt with a massive crisis, yet he appeared so indifferent.

It could only be said that her Brother was already accustomed to such threats.

For some reason, Chen Yu's mood sank.

Afterwards, she looked at Chen Yan:

"Brother, how many Grain Marks have you reached in your Horizontal Refinement?"

"Why ask this suddenly?" Chen Yan said, Laughing, wondering whether to tell the truth:

"About... seventy."

If he said ninety, he was afraid it would give his Sister a fright.

Chen Yan looked around; his Sister was still too young.

"Ah?"

Chen Yu's expression was blank.

"What 'ah' are you 'ah-ing' about? Why don't you believe me?" Chen Yan said, Laughing.

"I don't believe it, absolutely not, unless you show me." Chen Yu said hurriedly.

Bang!

Chen Yan knocked on Chen Yu's Brain:

"Then you'd better not believe it."

"Fine, fine, fine." Chen Yu jumped onto Chen Yan's back, her arms wrapping around Chen Yan's neck:

"Brother, since you're so amazing, hurry up and take me for a Flight."

"I'm only in the Extreme Forging Realm, how would I know how to fly?"

Chen Yan shook his head, Laughing, as a surging power flowed between his legs.

With a boom.

He carried Chen Yu and flew into the High Heaven.

"Charge!"

…………

At the same time.

Somewhere in Yunmeng City.

Inside a dim room.

A short-haired man with a bare upper body lay on the sofa smoking a cigarette, a flip phone resting on the coffee table.

"Dark Soul, why haven't you taken action yet?"

A voice from the man, extremely deep, rang out from within the phone.

"Action? I didn't say I wouldn't take action." A cold, sinister smile appeared at the corner of the short-haired man's mouth:

"You have to pay more."

"I'll pay!" Inside the phone, that deep male voice became impatient:

"I will pay whatever amount you want. I can't wait any longer; Chen Yan is getting stronger and stronger, and he is receiving more and more attention in the Military Martial Guard."

The short-haired man gave a cold snort:

"It seems you also know that almost all the Platinum Rank fighters of the Tianbei Fist Tournament have been warned by Shen Yiwei.

Even I was warned. I organized so many people, wasn't it just to complete the mission in one go?"

The other side of the phone was silent for a moment, then said:

"Since you have organized the people, then go quickly."

"Heh..." The short-haired man gave a cold snort:

"You even installed a locator in the phone. Don't you know how many people are dissatisfied with this and have already quit the team?

And that Ice Master, he discovered the locator on the first day. He hasn't come to the Tianbei Fist Tournament these past few days; I suspect it has something to do with you!"

The short-haired man's expression was cold and stern; the phone was the one he had given to Ice Master.

Ice Master had only just become a Gold Rank Fighter and surely hadn't been warned by Shen Yiwei yet.

As it turned out, he only found out later that the phone had been fitted with a locator.

Isn't this just offending people?

"I was only trying to ensure that Shen Yiwei's people didn't get involved." The voice from the other end of the phone spoke up:

"Give me a definite number, when will you set out?"

The short-haired man's pupils flickered, and he crossed his arms and said indifferently:

"Within this week, Chen Yan will die."

"You cannot kill him!"

The short-haired man spoke helplessly:

"I will arrange everything. He won't die, only his aptitude will disappear."

…………

Night.

Tianbei Fist Tournament.

Above the massive Star Dome, the lights were brilliant.

Wearing a Qing Se Mask, Li Qingyuan looked around the vast boxing arena; although his expression was calm, his breathing still inevitably became rapid.

He clenched his fists, and the feeling in his heart of wanting to become strong grew even more intense.

"Li Qingyuan, since you've come to the Tianbei Fist Tournament, fight well and learn well."

Beside him, a youth wearing a shirt printed with a ghost said.

"Alright, Brother Zhan Hun."

Li Qingyuan spoke:

"Chen Yan, is he not coming with us?"

Zhan Hun was silent for a moment, then spoke:

"I don't even know what he does all day; I only know he joined the New Dragon Guard and performed meritorious service after two days."

Li Qingyuan pursed his lips; Chen Yan had done far more than just perform meritorious service.

Recalling the scene where Chen Yan exploded and killed a Tier 3 Ancient Divine Beast, Li Qingyuan felt his whole body go numb.

"Let's go, I'll take you to meet our own people."

Zhan Hun put his arm around Li Qingyuan and walked toward the Combatant Area.

"Our group has its own spectator room. I am Gold Rank number one, and there are several others who are Platinum Rank fighters."

Zhan Hun was laughing as he saw a White Skirt Woman walk by; she was an internal staff member of the Tianbei Fist Tournament.

Zhan Hun hurriedly spoke:

"Arrange a challenge match for me; I want to promote to Platinum Rank today!"

The White Skirt Woman's body paused:

"Mr. Shoulong, do you wish to challenge for the Platinum Rank?"

"Yes." Zhan Hun laughed, glanced at Li Qingyuan beside him, and said:

"Brother will show you today what strength is."

Li Qingyuan nodded; he also wanted to see what a true genius was.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Shoulong, I'm afraid you cannot challenge for the rank."

At this moment, the White Skirt Woman spoke with an apologetic tone.

"Hm?" Zhan Hun was stunned.

"Because Mr. Ice Master has already started his challenge match in advance, and his momentum is currently at its peak. I'm afraid you two might meet very soon," the White Skirt Woman laughed.

"Ice Master?"

Zhan Hun frowned, then waved his hand:

"Forget about Ice Master or Fire Master; once I beat him later, I should be able to play the challenge match, right?"

"That is naturally possible," the White Skirt Woman laughed.

Zhan Hun nodded, then left with Li Qingyuan.

…………

"This is the third consecutive victory for Bing Yi tonight, or perhaps fate is just this astonishing."

The Host's unique, exaggerated voice resounded throughout the entire competition zone.

In the massive Observation Area, beams of white light shot out like torches, flickering and aiming at the tall, slender figure in black clothes on the central Arena.

Inside the Observation Area, cheers erupted, surging like boiling water and making hearts race.

"In the days when Bing Yi disappeared, Wen Xin had already fought up to Gold Rank third, and I thought they would continue their winning streak.

Yet today, Bing Yi is to face Wen Xin once again.

In the end, who will win, and who will lose?"

The Host raised their voice.

In the center of the Arena, Chen Yan also sighed lightly.

Is Wen Xin working this hard?

In the days when he was away, they had already climbed to third place.

It seems that today he will have to fight Wen Xin again.

At the same time, the cheers of the entire crowd reached their peak.

Wen Xin versus Bing Yi seemed to excite them even more than the battles of Platinum Rank fighters.

In the Observation Area, inside an Independent Viewing Room.

Zhan Hun, Li Qingyuan, and a woman wearing a mask printed with a forest stood together.

"This is the gimmick of the Tianbei Fist Tournament: create two fated rivals, then arrange for them to fight repeatedly."

Zhan Hun spoke indifferently, carrying dissatisfaction; his time was precious, and he did not want to waste it.

"Zhan Hun, you don't come here often. This Bing Yi is very strong, and that Wen Xin is also an absolute genius at Arrays." The Forest Mask woman spoke, then looked at Li Qingyuan and smiled:

"You are the newcomer Li Qingyuan, I am Lu Linqian."

"Lu Linqian!" Li Qingyuan was shocked:

"Shi Jie Bang Di Ba?"

"Eighth place is nothing; the New Dragon Guard has hidden geniuses, the kind who can kill the first-ranked Heavenly Pride in seconds." Zhan Hun said.

"As if you were that hidden genius yourself." Lu Linqian chuckled.

"Just you wait, today I will fight my way to Platinum Rank and challenge you." Zhan Hun said.

"Heh, the last time you won against me was five years ago." Lu Linqian said, crossing her arms.

Just as she was about to speak, Zhan Hun looked toward the Arena, only to see a woman wearing a Rabbit Mask walking onto the Arena.

"It's starting; I also want to see who between Bing Yi and Wen Xin can win." Lu Linqian smiled.

At the same time.

On the Arena.

"I concede."

A low, mature woman's voice rang out. Chen Yu just took one look at the black-clothed figure in front of her and left directly.

Whoosh...

The entire Observation Area erupted in sounds of dissatisfaction and Disappointment.

The Host also did not expect that Wen Xin would concede directly this time.

Amidst the chorus of disapproval, Chen Yu moved away from the Arena.

"I'm not fighting him; it's a waste of time."

Chen Yu murmured.

She had watched Bing Yi's previous battles; they were clean and efficient, with techniques that were well-rounded, and much faster than the speed at which she had fought her way up.

Chen Yu concluded that she would not be a match for Bing Yi.

Since that was the case, she would not fight.

She could already imagine that when it was her turn to fight, Bing Yi would deliberately slow down the pace and then drag it out for One Hour.

That amount of time would be enough for her to learn a lot.

"If my Brother came, he would probably be beaten until he cried." Chen Yu hummed softly and headed directly to her own Independent Viewing Room.

She planned to watch the battle and learn while she practiced her Cultivation Technique.

"I want to see how far he can go."

Chen Yu murmured; Bing Yi always gave her a feeling of being unfathomable.

"This Bing Yi can be considered a genius, and an unusual one at that."

In the Consciousness World, the Red Skirt Woman spoke:

"If your Brother came, perhaps there would be a fight."

Chen Yu was Stunned:

"He can contend with Brother?"

"Master cannot see through him either, after all, I haven't seen your Brother take action recently." The Red Skirt Woman smiled:

"Don't be discouraged either; when the Tianjiao Trial begins, Master will sneak you in.

The Array that maintains the Tianjiao Trial was created by an old senior; if you find the Array Eye, you can obtain a great opportunity!"

Chen Yu nodded, a trace of excitement appearing in her eyes.

Knowing her brother was in danger but being unable to help was a terrible feeling.

Especially since she still had a Master.

On the Arena.

Chen Yan glanced at the back of Wen Xin and did not make a sound.

This Master of his was afraid that they had grown a bit annoyed with him.

However, Chen Yan was not in Disappointment, for in truth, he had originally intended to fight quickly.

There were many resources he could learn from now.

Heavenly Patrol and Heavenly Patrol Extreme Dao.

The Array within the Green Pupil Ancient Divine Beast Eye.

Dark Loss was also only at the Entrance to Wonder.

Fist Intent and Spear Intent were also only First Grade.

If he went to learn Wen Xin's Array, he would be biting off more than he could chew.

"Since Wen Xin has failed, let us invite the next contestant to enter the field!"

After a moment of Stun, the Host shouted in a Loud Voice:

"Gold Rank Second is not here, let us invite the Gold Rank First Boxer, Shoulong!"

Clang, clang, clang, clang!

Above the Star Dome, the lights shifted.

Very quickly, they shone upon the red carpet at the entrance.

Inside the spectator room.

"A bit interesting, it's my turn so soon."

Zhan Hun gave a light Laughter and looked at Li Qingyuan and Lu Linqian:

"Watch well, learn well!"

Lu Linqian spoke indifferently:

"Win against Bing Yi first before you talk."

"Brother Zhan Hun, good luck!" Li Qingyuan said.

"Hmph!" Zhan Hun gave a low hmph:

"I will challenge you immediately, Lu Linqian."

Lu Linqian crossed her arms and did not answer, but her gaze shifted to the Arena.

PS: One chapter today; the detailed outline is all done, but when writing it, it feels bad.

I am still used to writing only after a sense of satisfaction emerges in my heart.

Writing more is useless, one chapter today.
