Chapter 249: Moon-Grade Cultivation Technique

"Strange, we only parted this morning, why do you feel like a completely new person to me now?"

Shao Hengyang looked Chen Yan over with surprise, feeling an inexplicable sense of inferiority rising in his heart.

Lu Linqian was stunned, and the look in her eyes as she gazed at Chen Yan shifted.

Shen Youning and Xu Di watched in silence, shock appearing in their eyes.

They were now almost certain that it was Chen Yan who had broken through the limits of his realm last night.

And the one who had been acting with them these past few days was a disguised Chen Yan.

"Perhaps it's just your imagination."

Chen Yan nodded at the group in a friendly manner, and upon realizing that Shen Yiwei was currently in conversation with someone, he sat down on the sofa.

It was precisely at this moment.

A girl with twin tails quietly came over and sat down beside Chen Yan.

Chen Yan looked at her and frowned slightly.

With his Speech Realm activated, he read a very complex feeling from this girl.

It was hard to put into words.

Chen Yan had never felt such complex emotions from anyone before.

In the room, the others watched, all of them astonished.

"Being handsome really has a natural advantage."

Zhan Hui shrugged, feeling a bit envious.

"You'll get used to it," Li Qingyuan said with a sheepish laugh.

They began to chat about topics they wanted to discuss, and no one disturbed Chen Yan.

The college entrance exam would begin the day after tomorrow; it was something that could change a person's entire life, so they were all choosing to relax and prepare these past few days.

On the sofa, San Jin blinked her bright, watery eyes at Chen Yan and spoke slowly:

"You..."

Chen Yan looked at her, his brows knitting slightly.

"Okay."

After San Jin finished speaking, Chen Yan raised an eyebrow.

A stutter.

Do martial artists stutter too?

"Hello."

Chen Yan felt a bit uncomfortable; it was Shen Yiwei who had asked him here for something, and now he was just wasting time.

"You... you..."

Beside him, the girl named San Jin held up a bunch of grapes with only four or five berries left:

"Eat... eat some?"

…………

"For this college entrance exam, tell the prodigies under your command to be careful."

Inside the lounge, Zong Heng said earnestly.

Shen Yiwei frowned:

"A problem on Chen Changyuan's side?"

"Yes," Zong Heng lit a cigarette:

"Yu Changsheng is participating in the college entrance exam for the third time; the previous two times were to obtain the Youlan for Chen Changyuan.

But both previous attempts were ruined by Zhang Ting's son. This is Yu Changsheng's third and final college entrance exam; the focus of this game between Zhang Ting and Chen Changyuan is this very exam."

Shen Yiwei picked up his teacup and shook his head:

"Ever since Master left, this senior brother of mine has seemed like a different person."

Shen Yiwei's eyes flickered, and he suddenly asked:

"How is the strength of those two young people, Zhang Luobai and Yu Changsheng?"

"Both are at the peak of the Origin Realm, and Zhang Luobai already obtained a Lightning Spirit last year. Both his Qi-blood and physical tempering have reached the peak of the fourth rank.

Yu Changsheng is slightly inferior, but not by much.

You have a grudge against Chen Changyuan, and the prodigies under your command are still young, so don't have them participate in the college entrance exam."

Zong Heng said gloomily.

Shen Yiwei's gaze trembled as he fell into deep thought.

Indeed, among the prodigies under his command, Chen Yan was the most outstanding.

But even Chen Yan had only just entered the third rank.

Chen Yan had encountered an assassination attempt by Origin Realm experts during the prodigy trials, but those Origin Realm experts were very mediocre.

Whether it was Zhang Luobai or Yu Changsheng, both were the top prodigies of the entire Qin Province, and both were at the peak of the Origin Realm.

Chen Yan had a grudge against Lao Chen; once they entered the college entrance exam, the probability of Yu Changsheng making a move against Chen Yan was extremely high.

Shen Yiwei remained silent for a long time.

It was Zong Heng who broke the silence first:

"That Chen Yan you mentioned has arrived."

With his perception spreading out, he naturally knew that Chen Yan had already arrived on the warship.

"Mm."

Shen Yiwei nodded; he had called Chen Yan here originally intending to entrust Chen Yan and the other geniuses under his command to Zong Heng.

But at this moment, he hesitated.

Since the crisis is so great, it would be better to take Chen Yan and the others back to Yunmeng City first.

"I truly think highly of Chen Yan; you don't know his aptitude, it is very, very good!"

Shen Yiwei spoke calmly.

Zong Heng chuckled:

"I have heard of him; to be able to defeat He Youtong after only a few months of entering the Dao is indeed genius, but speaking only of the present, compared to geniuses like Zhang Luobai, he is still far behind."

Shen Yiwei fell silent again.

It was true; Chen Yan had ultimately spent too little time cultivating.

Breaking the limits of a realm—such a heaven-gifted prodigy is too rare.

But no matter how rare a genius is, they still need time.

"Chen Yan, come in for a moment."

Shen Yiwei spoke suddenly, his voice penetrating the door.

Before long, Chen Yan entered.

Zong Heng nodded at Chen Yan in a friendly manner.

Shen Yiwei, however, had a complex look in his eyes as he said:

"Chen Yan, it is like this..."

He recounted to Chen Yan the matters regarding Chen Changyuan and Yu Changsheng, suggesting that Chen Yan give up on this year's college entrance exam and fight again next year.

After a long while, surprise appeared in Chen Yan's eyes:

"Chen Changyuan has also cultivated the Four Bloods Art?"

"Yes." Shen Yiwei nodded:

"He has cultivated two; those two Four Bloods Arts have long since merged into one technique within his body, and he has always wanted to find the other Four Bloods Art, Deep Abyss, within the college entrance exam secret realm.

Once three Four Bloods Arts merge into one, that is a Bright Moon-grade technique!"

Chen Yan narrowed his eyes.

Three Four Bloods Arts merged into one is Bright Moon-grade!

Bright Moon-grade!

"Chen Changyuan's own foundation is extremely profound, which has also led to his difficulty in entering the Seventh Rank.

What he needs now is to bring the quality of his own Qi and blood to the requirements for entering the Seventh Rank," Shen Yiwei explained.

Chen Yan asked:

"So, by upgrading one's own technique and then using the technique to reshape Qi and blood, one can reach the Qi and blood requirements to enter the Seventh Rank?"

"That is only one method!"

Zong Heng, who was to the side, spoke up:

"There are a total of three methods to increase one's total Qi and blood; one is to raise the grade of the technique and reshape the Qi and blood.

The second is to absorb a massive amount of Qi and blood and then use a technique to compress it, but the total amount of Qi and blood required to enter the Creation Realm is incomparably terrifying; in Qinzhou, it is difficult for medicinal treasures of that level to appear."

Chen Yan nodded.

As for the third type, he was clear on it himself without Zong Heng needing to say it.

Those who have broken their limits can absorb the same-source Qi and blood of others.

Chen Yan fell into deep thought, a sense of urgency inexplicably rising in his heart.

Once Chen Changyuan ascends to the Seventh Rank, that is absolutely not a good thing for him.

The Seventh Rank basically represents that this person is the absolute king in all of Qinzhou, with no one able to rival them.

By then, dealing with Chen Yan would be effortless.

Clap, clap!

Zong Heng patted the table and looked at Chen Yan:

"The problem now is not Chen Changyuan, but Yu Changsheng; the Deputy Chief Inspector suggests you do not participate in this college entrance exam. Have you thought it through?"

Shen Yiwei looked at Chen Yan.

"I will participate," Chen Yan said.

To the side, Zong Heng frowned and was about to speak, but Shen Yiwei sighed:

"I understand; if you want to participate, then participate."

Chen Yan nodded.

Zong Heng looked at Shen Yiwei in astonishment.

He had not expected Shen Yiwei to care so much about Chen Yan's choice.

In his view, Chen Yan was a genius of the Military Guard, which meant he was a soldier.

Soldiers should execute orders.

But with Shen Yiwei acting this way, he found it hard to say anything more.
