Chapter 252: Stealing My Name? A Single Finger Will Suffice to Suppress Them

…………

The college entrance exam deadline is approaching; today is the day the Exam Scores descend.

The final batch of prodigies from various cities has entered Xiaoyang City.

The vast Xiaoyang City is overcrowded today, with everyone waiting for the college entrance exam.

Following Shao Hengyang and the others, he arrived at a hotel exclusive to General Stars to rest.

Chen Yan sat cross-legged on the bed, adjusting the state of his physical body.

He had intended to wait a while longer before cultivating the path of Hard Tempering, but the battle between Zhang Luobai and Yu Changsheng today had indeed brought Chen Yan a trace of surprise.

To defeat such a powerhouse, Chen Yan still needs to work hard for a period of time.

This battle, for all the examinees in Qinzhou, counts as the opening ceremony.

It was incredibly shocking.

"With my current state, can I break the limits of the Extreme Forging Realm again?"

Chen Yan murmured softly; according to Lu Xunyang's notes, three times the seventy-two patterns might yield a great opportunity.

This is what Chen Yan wants to obtain.

He is currently not lacking in resources for the path of Hard Tempering.

The resources from eradicating the Gong family have already been transferred by Shen Yiwei; before leaving, Shen Yiwei handed Chen Yan a Morning Star-grade, fourth-tier Hard Tempering precious medicine.

There is also the Morning Star-grade, third-tier precious medicine given by Zong Heng, plus some miscellaneous precious medicines obtained from the group led by Luo Chen.

This is a massive batch of resources, enough for Chen Yan to go very far on the path of Hard Tempering.

The only thing that needs to be worried about is the difficulty encountered when breaking the realm limits.

He was thinking about this.

Chen Yan, sitting cross-legged on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes, sensing the arrival of another aura.

"Chen Yan, come to the side of Liunan Lake for a chat."

Chen Xiyuan's voice entered the depths of Chen Yan's mind.

Chen Yan narrowed his eyes.

Chen Xiyuan?

Why is the other party looking for him?

Chen Yan stood up; he had already used that seventh-rank Fist Intent Stone.

In Chen Xiyuan's mind, she must believe that he has already been bewitched by the crystallization of malice within the Fist Intent Stone.

Chen Yan stood up and walked out the door.

In the corridor, several figures were standing, each person's aura very profound.

Moreover, what these people were wearing were all General Star uniforms.

At this moment, a youth wearing a seventh-rank General Star medal looked at Chen Yan:

"Fifth-rank General Star, are you Chen Yan from Yunmeng City?"

The seventh-rank General Star spoke, and the others also looked toward Chen Yan, with many casting looks of goodwill.

"I am," Chen Yan said.

"Chen Yan, did that An Yunan invite you to attend today's small gathering?"

The seventh-rank General Star asked.

Chen Yan shook his head; he actually didn't know, as it was that array-disc puppet that had been here for the past few days.

He had indeed met An Yunan; the other party appeared when he was crossing the fifth level of the Ice Intent Golden Body.

"As expected," the seventh-rank General Star shrugged.

The others in the corridor looked at each other, and someone said with dissatisfaction:

"That An Yunan only invites geniuses like Zhang Luobai and Zhu Lili; he doesn't look down on us."

"Heh, he is only a sixth-rank General Star himself, yet he invites geniuses from the Martial Suppression Division and the Aristocratic Family Alliance, and doesn't give us any face at all."

"Why should he give us face? He is a genius who has broken the truth."

Everyone showed dissatisfaction.

Chen Yan frowned:

"Broken the truth?"

Beside him, the seventh-rank General Star said:

"Don't you know? That An Yunan's number of Extreme Forging patterns exceeds one hundred and fifty, breaking the realm limit."

Someone comforted him:

"Chen Yan, you have achieved such accomplishments only a few months after entering the Dao; in my opinion, you are more impressive than An Yunan!"

"Exactly, An Yunan has after all spent over ten years laying his foundation."

Chen Yan's brow furrowed even deeper.

Breaking the realm limit?

But immediately after, Chen Yan shook his head.

Stealing my name? When the time comes, a single finger will be enough to suppress them.

Thinking this, Chen Yan left directly.

Walking out of the building, he saw several cars parked outside.

Chen Yan did not pay attention and flew toward the side of Liunan Lake.

Inside a luxury sedan.

An Yunan was sitting in the back seat, and a youth in the passenger seat looked at the departing Chen Yan and spoke:

"Brother An, should we invite that Chen Yan? The other party is a Fifth-Rank General Star, and having entered the Dao for only a few months, it is rumored that he is a genius who does not lose to you?"

An Yunan frowned:

"Progressing so rapidly, his foundation must be unstable. To break through the limits of a realm, one must proceed steadily and surely."

The young man in the passenger seat hurriedly shut his mouth, knowing that what he had just said had displeased An Yunan.

An Yunan was extremely arrogant; even when facing Zhang Luobai, he felt that the other party was inferior to him.

He had broken through the limits of his realm and would surely suppress everyone in the future.

…………

By the banks of Willow South Lake.

Dressed in green robes with slanted bangs, Chen Xiyuan stood high in the sky, her expression somber:

"I never expected that Yu Changsheng would have such strength."

Thinking back to the great battle witnessed today, the strength displayed by Yu Changsheng and Zhang Luobai was still vivid in her mind.

Her mood was very poor.

First, Bing Yi did not give her a chance to meet, and today she discovered the extraordinary nature of Yu Changsheng.

Chen Xiyuan looked at He Youtong:

"Yu Changsheng is the disciple of Chen Changyuan and will certainly go looking for Youlan. With such an opponent, your chances of obtaining Youlan are too slim."

He Youtong nodded; she knew that Chen Xiyuan was in a bad mood today because of the matter with Bing Yi, so she did not dare to say too much.

It was at this moment.

Above the lake below, a black shadow sped over.

The black shadow skimmed close to the lake, the air waves it stirred up blasting two walls of water out of the lake surface.

"Chen Yan, come up." Seeing Chen Yan arrive, Chen Xiyuan spoke indifferently.

Yet there was a trace of surprise in her eyes.

Chen Yan's speed was somewhat beyond her imagination.

Soon, Chen Yan arrived before Chen Xiyuan.

Chen Xiyuan smiled gently:

"Chen Yan, I called you here today because there is something I want to entrust to you."

Chen Yan nodded, his expression calm, making it impossible for others to see what he was thinking.

He Youtong, however, felt her gaze tremble upon seeing Chen Yan arrive.

It was as if her chin, which had been smashed by Chen Yan in the past, began to ache again.

But Chen Yan never once looked at He Youtong.

"It is like this," Chen Xiyuan began:

"He Youtong will participate in the college entrance examination, and her goal is the Xia Clan's Four Blood Arts, Youlan, located within the college entrance examination secret realm, Zhan Tu Forest."

Chen Yan was surprised in his heart; he had not expected that Chen Xiyuan also wanted to obtain Youlan.

Chen Xiyuan said with a light laugh, quickly making her meaning clear.

It was nothing more than wanting Chen Yan to help He Youtong within the college entrance examination secret realm.

"Chen Yan, you have already entered under my tutelage; I do not wish to trouble you, but this Youlan is extremely important to me."

Chen Xiyuan brushed her hair, actually carrying a trace of allure.

She had sensed that Chen Yan had already meditated upon that Seventh-Rank Fist Intent Stone, and the crystallization of malice hidden within the Fist Intent Stone had already influenced Chen Yan to some extent.

Sure enough, Chen Yan was indeed nodding slowly at this moment.

This action satisfied Chen Xiyuan.

But it made He Youtong sigh, and the pity in her eyes as she looked at Chen Yan increased a little.

"Since the Venerable has entrusted this task to me, I will naturally do my utmost," Chen Yan said.

Chen Xiyuan's gaze became even gentler.

"But Venerable, my strength is insufficient, and over at Shen Yiwei's side, it is ultimately because I am surnamed Chen that he does not give me resources..." Chen Yan's face showed bitterness.

As Chen Yan's voice fell, the smile on Chen Xiyuan's face stiffened.

Chen Yan was actually asking for benefits.

Her expression gradually turned ugly; being asked for benefits like this by a subordinate, she was certainly not pleased.

To the side, He Youtong also frowned slightly; Chen Yan was indeed greedy.

She spoke quietly:

"Chen Yan, if you complete the mission, the Venerable will naturally give you benefits."

However, after He Youtong's words fell, Chen Yan ignored her entirely and just looked quietly at Chen Xiyuan.

Chen Xiyuan narrowed her eyes slightly, pondering.

She also felt that Chen Yan was a bit too greedy.

Chen Yan's actions made He Youtong even more furious.

He was nothing but a puppet, yet he dared to ignore her.

"Chen Yan!" He Youtong shouted in a low voice.

But it was also at this moment.

Hum!

A humming sound rang out, and Chen Yan suddenly struck, throwing a punch toward He Youtong.

Boom!

Golden light erupted!

He Youtong's body stiffened instantly, and her face turned deathly pale.

Horizontal push, horizontal push!

Such a powerful intent of horizontal push!

And this powerful force...

So strong!

"Exalted One, Exalted One, save me!" He Youtong almost screamed out.

The forgotten sense of terror struck again this time.

With a *snap*.

Chen Xiyuan blocked Chen Yan's fist with one palm, looking at Chen Yan with extreme surprise:

"Third-grade Fist Intent, and what you just used was..."

Chen Yan's eyes were calm:

"The Heaven-Patrolling Ultimate Dao at the level of entering the subtle."

Chen Xiyuan's beautiful face changed slightly, and the look in her eyes as she gazed at Chen Yan shifted completely.

She suddenly realized that she had underestimated this collateral descendant of hers after all!

Even if the other party were not as good, he was still a prodigy only a sliver behind Bing Yi, and still top-tier!

"Good, good, good!!!"

Chen Xiyuan was overjoyed, paying no heed to He Youtong, whose forehead was beaded with cold sweat beside her.

With a flick of her hand, a precious medicinal herb the size of an apple, covered in black thorns, flew out:

"This is the Morning Star-grade C-tier tempering treasure, the Bitter Thorn Profound Fruit!"

Chen Xiyuan said with extreme satisfaction:

"Cultivate well; if you can achieve the Origin, I..."

She looked at Chen Yan, her eyes alluring:

"I will give you even better precious medicine."

"Many thanks, Exalted One."

Chen Yan bowed, a look of gratitude appearing on his face at the right moment.

To the side, a trace of envy appeared in He Youtong's eyes, but it quickly vanished.

*Hum! *

Just at this moment.

Ten thousand rays of rosy light suddenly appeared in the sky, condensing into a massive scroll thousands of meters wide.

Under the shocked gaze of all living beings in the entire Xiaoyang City.

Purple light came from the east for eighty thousand li, boundless and brilliant, obscuring the great sun.

The scroll slowly opened.

At this moment.

The Martial Suppression Bureau, the Great Family Alliance, the Military Martial Guard, and even Chen Xiyuan here all looked on intently.

Even in Qinzhou, Tiezhou, Yunzhou, Jinzhou...

The entire Great Xia, eighteen provinces!

Identical phenomena appeared simultaneously!

"The Examination Score has descended!"

"The Time Domain Phoenix is about to arrive!"

"The college entrance examination is about to begin!"
