Chapter 211: Once the Unique Move is Perfected, That Shall Be the Day of the Gong Family's Destruction
Chen Yan walked into his bedroom and took a good shower.
Opening the wardrobe, he was somewhat stunned; inside were over a dozen sets of high-quality clothes that fit his frame perfectly.
Casually picking out a dark green windbreaker, Chen Yan walked out of the bedroom.
"Xiaoyan, your Closed-door Training is finished."
Chen Yuhu walked out of the kitchen on the first floor carrying a pot of braised pork elbow and placed it in the living room:
"I'd long heard that you martial artists spend a month or two in Closed-door Training at a time; I didn't believe it before."
Chen Yan chuckled:
"Dad, where is Xiaoyu?"
"Your sister is at school; she rarely comes back."
Chen Yan nodded; Xiaoyu had her own teacher and her own powerful path to follow.
He walked to the first-floor living room and said:
"Dad, I still have some things to do; I'll eat when I get back."
Chen Yuhu was stunned:
"Alright then, I'll just put the pork elbow in the fridge for now."
Chen Yan looked at his Father, and after a moment of thought:
"Dad, I will find some SoulRefining Cultivation Techniques; you should start practicing too."
A trace of joy appeared in Chen Yuhu's eyes:
"Can I practice too?"
"Of course you can," Chen Yan said with a smile:
"Both my sister and I have decent aptitude; I think the only reason you haven't, Dad, is that your resources were too poor. Perhaps you can walk the path of a martial artist as well."
"That's great." Chen Yuhu laughed out loud; he certainly wanted to practice.
Immediately after, the smile on Chen Yuhu's face faded, and he told Chen Yan a few more things.
Chen Yan's expression cleared slightly, and he nodded.
He walked out of the Villa.
Summer had passed, and the autumn wind was crisp.
He took a deep breath; it had been over four months since he entered the Dao.
He could finally be considered to have a sliver of capital to stand his ground in this world.
He contemplated the path before him.
The Will Path was the most magnificent, but it was too illusory; Chen Yan had yet to find the opportunity to create a second Cultivation Realm.
This was also the reason why he had not abandoned the other Martial Dao.
The Will Path could not be clearly converted into his own combat power.
Chen Yan preferred to let the Will Martial Dao become the master that coordinated all his other Martial Dao, allowing his combat power to reach an unimaginable level under the strength of his will.
The remaining path was the trouble before him.
For instance, the Gong Family.
The Gong Family must be destroyed; Chen Yan went to prison because of Gong Qing of the Gong Family, and a single Secretary of Gong Qing had almost ruined his entire life.
And the Gong Family was the mastermind behind the Chu Family affair.
In the end, the Gong Family had even gotten together with Chen Yan's second enemy, Luo Chen.
He clenched his hands; during his Closed-door Training, he had created his own unique move.
Now, he intended to go ask Shen Yiwei for a secure Cultivation Room.
Once the unique move was perfected, that would be the day of the Gong Family's destruction.
As for the other enemy, Luo Chen...
Chen Yan stood at the entrance of the Villa; although there were few pedestrians on the street, everyone who passed by couldn't help but look at him.
This newly promoted Five-Stage General Star had an appearance and temperament that were far too unique.
Standing there alone, it was as if that piece of Heaven and Earth belonged to him.
This feeling was not only felt by passersby; He Youtong, who had been waiting impatiently in the High Heaven, was also stunned the first time she saw Chen Yan with her own eyes.
Her heart suddenly beat rapidly for a few moments just because she saw Chen Yan.
This was that Poxiao General Star?
How could such a figure exist in a tiny Yunmeng City?
She stood up slowly and entered the Void, stirring up layers of Space Ripples.
Even when she arrived in front of Chen Yan, she did not bring any wind or waves.
Yet the Youth standing in front of the Villa spoke:
"Is this the guest from the Chen Family?"
A flash of surprise instantly flickered in He Youtong's eyes; her Void Escape Art was extremely advanced, and she should only have been discovered once she walked right up to Chen Yan.
She appeared somewhat unnaturally and said:
"He Youtong."
Chen Yan nodded and made a gesture for her to enter.
"No need." He Youtong quickly suppressed her unnaturalness, and the trace of arrogance in her eyes emerged once more:
"I came here just to tell you that a certain lord of the Chen Family thinks highly of you; you performed quite well, and although you are far inferior to the geniuses of the Chen Clan Main Branch, you still have the qualifications to be invested in."
As He Youtong spoke, she began to reflect unnaturally on whether her tone had been too harsh.
But fortunately, the Youth opposite her maintained the same expression throughout.
"My apologies."
The clear, bright voice made He Youtong start; she frowned as she watched.
The Youth named Chen Yan continued to speak.
He laughed:
"I have already made my choice, the Chen Family... I am unwilling..."
"Chen Yan!" He Youtong suddenly let out a low shout, her eyes filled with reproach:
"Once some words are spoken, there will be absolutely no turning back."
She came before Chen Yan, her expression turning cold:
"Do you know what you are saying? How many Side Branches does the Five Clan Chen Family have in Great Xia, how many people live like ants, and die like ants?
You have the aptitude and became a Five-Stage General Star, but how do you know this General Star is anything more than a title?"
He Youtong's voice grew increasingly cold:
"Because your surname is Chen, the Xia Clan could never possibly invest too much in you."
As she said this, Chen Yan's expression also gradually became indifferent:
"Since you also know that Great Xia will have misgivings about me because of my surname.
Then do you know that coming to find me so brazenly will make the Xia Clan, who already have misgivings about me, even more wary of me?"
Although Chen Yan said this.
He was also asking himself in his heart.
Throughout his journey, had he ever been treated differently by Great Xia?
The tilt of resources in the Tianjiao Trial—on one hand, it was because Chen Yan himself was strong enough; on the other hand, wasn't it also because the Xia Clan was not wary of him?
To the extent that the help from Xia Hanzhou was not fake.
As for Shen Yiwei, the other party had been treating him kindly in every aspect.
The further he went, the more Chen Yan could understand what it meant for Shen Yiwei to invest so much in him.
The other party was filled with Disappointment toward Great Xia, hated the noble families to the core, and must surely loathe the Five Clans the most.
Yet, with him bearing the Chen surname, not only did it not make the other party loathe him, but instead, they offered guidance and investment from the heart.
A person should have a Red Heart.
On the contrary, this Chen Family Main Line made him feel disgust the moment they met, and his Technique felt restless.
Opposite him, He Youtong also did not expect Chen Yan to talk back to her like this, and a cold Aura overflowed from her entire body:
"You are actually still pinning hopes on the Xia Clan; you bring me Disappointment."
The Annoyance in her eyes grew thicker.
She had waited here for a long time, and not only was this Chen Yan not grateful, he was actually blaming her.
If it weren't for the fact that his Appearance was quite good, she would likely have already struck.
In the distance.
Within a void.
Shen Youning flew over from the direction of the Military Guard, and Shao Hengyang had already arrived a step earlier, watching Chen Yan and He Youtong from afar.
"How is it?" Shen Youning asked.
Shao Hengyang's expression was strange:
"Go quickly and call Lao Shen."
"What happened?" Shen Youning's expression became grave.
"I have a premonition." Shao Hengyang whispered with a slight tremor:
"They are about to fight."
