Chapter 22: The Appearance of the Force Pattern, Luo Puxin

Regarding Luo Puxin, the Chu Family had naturally investigated him in private, but they had no leads, knowing only that the other party had come down from the Frontline.

Therefore, at the very beginning, the Chu Family did not have much wariness toward Luo Puxin.

After Chu Lan modified the roster for the True Martial Class, he also sent someone to deliver three million to Luo Puxin.

Luo Puxin accepted it.

Unexpectedly, accepting the money was merely a facade; Luo Puxin was actually plotting something so grand. If not for Zhang Mancang's tip-off, their Chu Family would likely have been caught off guard.

Thinking of this, Chu Lan looked at Zhang Mancang with a very satisfied expression in his pupils:

"You are very good. Although you cannot enter the True Martial Class this time, my Chu Family will send you to Yunmeng City Second High School; we will not treat you unfairly."

Zhang Mancang nodded, and the trace of struggle in his eyes gradually disappeared, replaced by determination.

The guilt toward Luo Puxin gradually vanished.

At first, when his True Martial Class spot was taken away, Zhang Mancang was naturally resentful, yet he had no way to act. The Chu Family was a behemoth in Luoshan County; how could he compete with the Chu Family?

Luo Puxin appeared and said he would give him fairness. Zhang Mancang was very grateful, but Luo Puxin had told him to go and challenge the school, to slap the Chu Family in the face in front of everyone.

He might obtain the fairness that belonged to him, but he would become a total enemy of the Chu Family.

He, Zhang Mancang, did not have that much courage.

As for what Luo Puxin said about receiving support from within the True Martial Office, Zhang Mancang had no idea of Luo Puxin's influence, but he did know that the Chu Family was the Jidu of Luoshan County.

He weighed the situation.

…………

At the village entrance, Luo Puxin got into a black sedan, and the driver started the car.

"Instructor Luo, the True Martial Prize Money evaluations for the twenty-three towns have all concluded."

The driver turned the steering wheel and spoke, handing a Document to Luo Puxin.

"Qingshan Town has also finished."

Luo Puxin took the Document and opened it, glancing at it with a flicker in his Mu Guang:

"It seems I don't need to eat it."

"Eat what?" the driver asked curiously.

"Noodles. The minced meat noodles at the place downstairs from the True Martial Office are alright," Luo Puxin said with a smile. After looking at the Document, his smile faded.

Among the three spots for Qingshan High School to enter the True Martial Class, there was no Chen Yan.

"That... Instructor Luo, when I came to pick you up, I ran into Department Head Chu Lan of the Chu Family. Department Head Chu asked me to invite you to dinner tonight."

"Hmm, then buy some good Wine in the county and bring it along when the time comes." Luo Puxin nodded and looked out the car window, but in his mind, the scene of the day he met Chen Yan floated up.

He had already met all the students whose spots were replaced in private; without a doubt, Zhang Mancang was the most outstanding.

The True Martial Prize Money evaluation for Zhang Mancang's school had concluded five days ago, which was why it was easier for Luo Puxin to conduct Private Training for Zhang Mancang over these past few days.

Do not underestimate this few days of Private Training; Luo Puxin's strength was extremely high, and it was very simple for his five-day Private Training to make a high school student twice as strong.

Although Chen Yan suffered the same treatment as Zhang Mancang, Chen Yan's strength was not as good as Zhang Mancang's.

And it was too late.

Zhang Mancang alone was enough.

He did not want much; he only needed Zhang Mancang to forcefully suppress the person who replaced him in front of the Department Head of the Yunmeng City True Martial Division Military Martial Department on the day the True Martial Class opened.

The greater the gap, the better; the more shocking, the more it would incite anger, and the easier it would be to pull Chu Lan down from the Luoshan County True Martial Office.

As for Chen Yan and the others whose spots were replaced, they would naturally enter the True Martial Class; this originally belonged to them.

"Sigh, when it comes down to it, the difference in resources is just too great. In the big cities, ordinary high school students have all achieved Awakening of Qi and Blood, and those walking the path of Horizontal Refinement Martial Dao have basically condensed Grain Marks."

Luo Puxin sighed lightly:

"Here, if ordinary students don't work hard, they have no chance at all for Awakening of Qi and Blood, let alone Grain Marks."

…………

Three days later.

"This is... a Grain Mark?"

In the early morning, the morning sun blossomed wantonly and brilliantly, and a touch of gorgeous orange light crossed the window and shone into the room.

Chen Yan sat on the straw mat with his upper body bare. His whole body was stained with sweat; he was not robust, but his muscle texture was clear and slightly bulged.

In the center of his chest, a pure black circular Grain Mark, about the length of a little Finger, was strikingly present. At a glance, this Grain Mark seemed to have a life of its own, coiling like a dragon, and a vigorous Aura that seemed to have existed since ancient times emanated from it.

Chen Yan's Mu Guang was bright, looking at the Grain Mark on his chest, his heart surging uncontrollably.

An ordinary warrior refers to a Qi-Blood Warrior; Awakening of Qi and Blood is equivalent to having already embarked on the path of a Qi-Blood Warrior.

And beyond the Qi-Blood Warrior, there is the path of Horizontal Refinement. The initial Cultivation Realm of the Horizontal Refinement path is the Seventy-Two Patterns Extreme Forging Realm.

Condensing a Grain Mark means one has embarked on the path of Horizontal Refinement Martial Dao.

Skin, Tendon, Bone, Force, twelve patterns each, collectively called the Seventy-Two Patterns!

Just a moment ago, after Chen Yan consumed one Strength Character Po Sheng Fruit, this black Grain Mark appeared.

After continuously practicing the Red Ridge Body Casting Canon, Chen Yan also had a clearer understanding of the Seventy-Two Patterns Extreme Forging Realm.

The first Grain Mark in his life.

It was a Force Pattern!

Chen Yan breathed deeply, circulating the Red Ridge Body Casting Canon, and his body began to return to calm. On his chest, that black Grain Mark also gradually Disappeared.

【Po Saint Realm: Level 2 (11/15)】

【Po Sheng Fruit:

Force: (3/100)

Blood: (97/100)

Technique: (83/100)】

In three days' time, Chen Yan once again consumed two Strength Character Po Sheng Fruit and two Ji Character Fruit.

The progress of the Sacred Tree finally reached the halfway point.

The reason why Force Patterns were refined was precisely because of this, and the understanding of the Red Steel Body Casting Canon in his brain became increasingly clear.

Although the Sacred Tree was still unable to absorb Constitution Energy, resulting in a large amount of Green Light being wasted.

But after these few days of continuous cultivation of the Red Steel Body Casting Canon, coupled with the fact that Chen Yuhu not only used Qingjiu Snake to cook for him, but also bought more various kinds of Beast Meat from the Xian for nutritious meals.

Chen Yan could clearly feel that his body was becoming increasingly robust.

The last bit of expectation in Chen Yan's heart was the Blood Character Po Sheng Fruit; although the effect of the daily Medicine Bath was getting worse and worse, the Blood Character Po Sheng Fruit had still reached 96 percent progress, and it was visibly about to ripen.

In terms of SoulRefining, his constitution simply could not condense SoulRefining; every time he broke through a Limit, he would only condense a trace, and even the essence liquid of the Medicine Bath was all absorbed by the Sacred Tree.

Limit-Breaking Awakening was indeed difficult, and Chen Yan also wanted to try whether consuming Po Sheng Fruit could bring about a change.

"Dad, I'm heading to Xue Xiao now."

After finishing his meal, Chen Yan ran toward Xue Xiao; today was the day Wang Yang had agreed upon with him.

Previously, that Luo Puxin had also said that obtaining the True Martial Prize Money would provide an opportunity to go to the Xian and enter the True Martial Class.

Chen Yuhu waved at Chen Yan with a Smile in his eyes; his shop had already been approved to be transferred to Zhang Ge, so he had nothing to do these past few days.

Fortunately, Chen Yan had successively brought huge income to Jia Li, otherwise Chen Yuhu would have already gone to the Xian to work by now.

Seeing the talent his Son displayed in Martial Dao, and with some money in Jia Li, Chen Yuhu decided to take care of his Son until he finished the college entrance examination first.

He was too mediocre, but fortunately, he still had an extremely outstanding son and daughter.
