Chapter 26: Wang Yang, you are my good son-in-law!
I have been granted Sudden Enlightenment by the Stele.
Chen Yan went to the restroom to wash up briefly, and only then did his heart rate gradually return to normal.
His physique was a bit weak and could not keep up with his strength; having broken through his own Limit twice in a row earlier, Chen Yan had almost thought he was going to pass out.
In his mind, a vast amount of knowledge regarding the 【Red Gale Body Casting Canon】 had suddenly appeared, and within the Po Saint Realm, there was also a large amount of Golden Light containing the Artistic Energy of the 【Red Gale Body Casting Canon】.
Digesting this harvest would take some time and could not be finished in a moment.
But it would not take too much time either; half a day would suffice.
Afterwards, Chen Yan's understanding of the 【Red Gale Body Casting Canon】 would only be deeper, reaching a brand-new level!
With a palpitating heart, Chen Yan walked to the entrance of the Office, only to hear the sound of an argument inside.
"Whether I want to pull strings is my business; if you won't look after your daughter, I will!"
"But you cannot go to the Gong Family, you cannot!"
"Why can't I? You work your whole life, is it enough for Qianqian to undergo one Washing Refinement?"
"It just won't do!"
"Get out! After all these years, you are still like this; I am very disappointed in you!"
They were arguing; Chen Yan hesitated, and just as he was about to open the door, he saw a flushed Wang Yang storming out as he opened the door.
"Chen Yan, are you done fighting?" Wang Yang's expression changed slightly; seeing Chen Yan covered in injuries, he hurriedly pulled Chen Yan into the Office.
"Did you win?" Wang Yang squeezed out a smile with difficulty.
"I won," Chen Yan said quietly.
"Good!" Wang Yang let out a loud laugh and looked at Zhuang Xihang:
"Principal Zhuang, he won!"
Zhuang Xihang kept a cold face, clearly still in a fit of anger, and looked at Chen Yan:
"Zhang Tie, the twenty-sixth ranked student of Er Gao, cannot enter the True Martial Class. You fought him for so long and only won after ending up like this, you..."
As Zhuang Xihang spoke, Wang Yang's expression changed:
"Principal Zhuang, we had an agreement!"
"I listened to what you told me, but do you listen to what I tell you?" Zhuang Xihang shouted coldly, his eyes filled with Disappointment toward Wang Yang.
Wang Yang fell into a fit of resentment, and the hand gripping Chen Yan began to tremble.
Chen Yan lowered his head; that Zhang Tie was only twenty-sixth in the grade?
"Principal Zhuang, I..." Wang Yang began, with hesitation.
"Wang Laoshi, forget it," Chen Yan shook his head; Wang Yang had already done too much for him.
Wang Yang looked at Chen Yan, his eyes full of complexity:
"You are very good. You were bedridden for a year, and how many days has it been since you recovered? You were already able to defeat the twenty-sixth of Er Gao.
You are truly very good; you are a genius, it is just that others are blind!"
There was Anger in Wang Yang's voice, and Anger also appeared in the eyes of Zhuang Xihang opposite him.
…………
In the end, Wang Yang and Chen Yan left.
Zhuang Xihang sat in the Office, sulking.
"Principal Zhuang, people from the Martial Officer department have arrived. Tonight is the True Martial Class oath-taking ceremony; they need the Origin Stele of the 【Red Gale Body Casting Canon】."
The Office door was opened, and a middle-aged Woman wearing glasses spoke.
"Mm, have them move it, and don't bump or drop it," Zhuang Xihang nodded.
"Okay." The Woman nodded and smiled:
"The Origin Stele would be fine even if it fell from a hundred meters in the air; it won't be damaged."
Inside the Office, only Zhuang Xihang remained, his expression full of Annoyance.
He had originally found a better job for Wang Yang, but the other party quit after working for only one day.
At first, he quite liked this person; aside from his average Martial Dao talent, everything else was quite good, and he was very diligent.
But slowly, he realized that this person was just a blockhead.
Smoking a cigarette in frustration, Zhuang Xihang slowly shook his head:
"Was I a bit too harsh?"
"If he really only came into contact with the Breathing Method for a few days and managed to win against Zhang Tie with such difficulty, actually..."
"Actually, it's not bad; no, it's very good!"
Two years ago, he and Wang Yang had a falling out and hadn't been in contact for two years. Today, Wang Yang came to find him; logically, he should have put on a cold face and then given a small favor.
"That child also knows how to consider things for his teacher; he is indeed very good. I am angry at Wang Yang, there is no need to involve him!"
Zhuang Xihang muttered helplessly.
Besides, that Chen Yan was already qualified to enter the True Martial Class; it was someone else who pulled strings to take his spot.
"Mm, I'll call him over later; anyway, I didn't give this auditing spot to anyone else."
Zhuang Xihang thought to himself; Chen Yan was not in the wrong, and Chen Yan had indeed defeated Zhang Tie.
He felt some regret for his attitude just now.
It was all Wang Yang's fault.
Time passed slowly, it was six o'clock in the evening.
Knock, knock, knock.
The Office door was knocked on.
"Come in."
"Principal Zhuang." Zhang Tie walked in with an ugly expression:
"The other teachers kicked me out of the Henglian Room."
"Hmm." Zhuang Xihang said indifferently:
"The True Martial Class oath-taking ceremony needs to use the Origin Stele, and besides, you should have used up your time long ago."
If Zhang Tie is not in the top ten by age, he cannot enter the Henglian Room at will.
"No, I calculated it. It was occupied by others for about an hour in the middle, so I only spent five hours in total today."
"You kid, I said at the start of the term that the gains from sparring in the Henglian Room are no less than practicing in the Henglian Room."
"Sparring?" Zhang Tie was stunned:
"I didn't spar."
"You didn't fight?!" Zhuang Xihang's expression changed slightly. That kid named Chen Yan has such guts!
He deliberately got himself injured, then lied to them that he had won the fight.
Anger appeared in Zhuang Xihang's eyes. What a scheme!
Zhang Tie continued: "I was practicing just fine today, but then Wu Chuhua arrived, and after a while, another person came over.
They fought in the Henglian Room for a long time. I didn't even dare to move, fearing I would get hurt, let alone practice."
Zhuang Xihang was completely stunned: "Ah?"
"It's true, Principal, I wouldn't dare lie to you," Zhang Tie said hurriedly: "The Henglian Room has surveillance!"
"This..." Zhuang Xihang's mouth hung open, and a conjecture appeared in his brain:
"Where is Wu Chuhua?"
"Wu Chuhua went back. He was beaten into submission by that person. It's my first time seeing someone even more ruthless than Wu Chuhua."
Holy Crap!
Got it wrong.
Wasn't Chen Yan fighting Zhang Tie? Why was he fighting Wu Chuhua?
Gulp!
Swallowing a mouthful of saliva with difficulty, Zhuang Xihang spoke again: "What was the person who fought Wu Chuhua wearing?"
"Wearing a White T-shirt. Wu Chuhua said his name is Chen Yan. He's quite impressive; he actually condensed a Force Pattern and fought Wu Chuhua to a draw."
As Zhang Tie spoke, he couldn't help but give a thumbs up. The harder the other party beat Wu Chuhua, the more satisfied he felt.
Wu Chuhua deserved to be beaten like that!
"This...!"
A sound of stunned silence rang out. Zhuang Xihang Stood Up, then sat back down in his original seat.
A sentence kept echoing in his brain.
"Chen Yan was bedridden for a year, and only started coming into contact with the Breathing Method a few days ago..."
Thinking of this, Zhuang Xihang only felt a bolt of lightning shoot from the soles of his feet into his brain, and his eyelids kept twitching.
Force Pattern, Force Pattern, Force Pattern...
The other party just recovered and had only been in contact with the Breathing Method for a few days, yet he had already condensed a Force Pattern!
And he could even fight Wu Chuhua like that.
A genius, this is a true genius!
Rushing to the desk, he just picked up the landline before remembering Wang Yang didn't have a mobile phone.
He had to go chase him down; even if he had to go to the other party's home in person, he must call Chen Yan back.
"Wang Yang, you are my good son-in-law!"
Sighing, Wang Yang had such great judgment of character. Zhuang Xihang ran out of the Office.
"Principal Zhuang, my time hasn't..."
Zhang Tie shouted hurriedly, but saw that Zhuang Xihang had already disappeared in the hallway.
"Zhang Tie, come find me tomorrow!" Zhuang Xihang's voice rang out from downstairs.
…………
There are only three buses a day from Luoshan County to Qingshan Town. Chen Yan and Wang Yang first ate in the Xian, and only boarded the bus at six o'clock.
Staying in the Town for one night actually costs two hundred. Chen Yan and Wang Yang decided to go home first.
Tomorrow, Chen Yan plans to go find Luo Puxin again.
There were very few people on the bus. Chen Yan and Wang Yang sat in the back row.
"This time it was the teacher's fault." Wang Yang felt somewhat self-reproachful. Chen Yan won, and Chen Yan proved himself.
He failed; he gave Chen Yan hope, and then brought Chen Yan Disappointment.
He had no face left, and he felt very uncomfortable inside.
"Teacher, if I could crush Zhang Tie, it wouldn't be like this." Chen Yan said quietly.
Everything was because he was not strong enough yet.
He had become stronger, but it was not enough.
He could tell how much dignity Wang Yang had to set aside to go find Zhuang Xihang.
"It doesn't matter. You will have more battles in the future. I am satisfied this time. You suffered so many injuries for this fight, which shows that you didn't give up until the very last moment.
Winning with difficulty is not something to blame today for."
Wang Yang said Laughing. He could see the injuries on Chen Yan's body; although they were all superficial, the fact that Chen Yan could endure them showed that Chen Yan was very hardworking.
"Hmm." Chen Yan nodded, but inside he had gained some insight from this sentence of Wang Yang's:
"The opponent is also very strong. Although he hasn't practiced a complete Skin Pattern, he can practice three-tenths, so his physique is stronger than mine. I must also pay attention to the aspect of physique."
Chen Yan said in a low voice, although he lost today, he had gained a great deal.
His own understanding of the 【Red Ridge Body Casting Canon】 had risen to a level he wouldn't have dared to imagine when he first arrived.
More importantly, within the Po Sheng Realm, that massive amount of Golden Light was being continuously absorbed by the Sacred Tree.
On the Sacred Tree, a brand new golden Fruit was taking shape in a very short time.
【Po Sheng Realm: Level 2 (14/15)】
【Sacred Fruit:
Force: (88/100)
Blood: (99/100)
Technique: (97/100)】
Inside the Po Sheng Realm, there was still a vast Lake of Golden Light; the Sacred Tree continuously absorbed this Golden Light, and a new Ji Character Fruit was clearly about to ripen.
Po Sheng Realm, it was about to level up!
Within Chen Yan's brain, there was also a large amount of obscure knowledge that needed to be digested.
The harvest from today's trip could not be called small.
Chen Yan thought this to himself, while Wang Yang at his side was constantly frowning.
"Skin Pattern?"
"Yes, that Zhang Tie condensed three-tenths of a Skin Pattern!" Chen Yan nodded.
"That's not right, Principal Zhuang told me that Zhang Tie practices the path of SoulRefining and just had his Awakening of Qi and Blood." Wang Yang said strangely.
"No..." Chen Yan shook his head: "That Zhang Tie is on the path of Horizontal Refinement; he has one substantial Force Pattern and one shallow Skin Pattern."
"Ah?" Wang Yang was completely stunned: "A substantial Force Pattern and three-tenths of a Skin Pattern?"
He muttered, his expression turning ugly, and suddenly cursed in a low voice: "Zhuang Xihang, you go too far!"
Having condensed a Force Pattern and three-tenths of a Skin Pattern, this Zhang Tie must be about to enter the top five of Er Gao!
Zhuang Xihang was clearly not wanting to give Chen Yan a chance to audit, deliberately playing him!
Thinking of this, Wang Yang became even more indignant, but gradually he felt something was wrong; he looked at Chen Yan and spoke in a trembling, low voice:
"Chen Yan, tell me, when you fought that Zhang Tie, did you really lose or..."
"I won, but it was only because he ran out of strength; however, even if you continued, I wouldn't be afraid." Chen Yan said thoughtfully, naturally seeing Wang Yang's abnormality.
"You..." Wang Yang opened his mouth, feeling a breath stuck in his throat that was hard to spit out, and spoke word by word:
"Zhang Tie condensed a Force Pattern and three-tenths of a Skin Pattern, what did you use to beat him?!"
"Because I also condensed a Force Pattern." Chen Yan said quietly, with no smile on his face; what did it matter if he condensed a Force Pattern? He could only manage a draw with the twenty-sixth of Er Gao.
The top students of Town High School were far too inferior compared to those of Xian High School; Yu Zhiwen was the best at Qingshan Gao, but she was far from being Zhang Tie's opponent.
He wasn't comparing himself to Yu Zhiwen, Gao Yuan, or Zhang Qingsi.
He had the Sacred Tree; even if he didn't, he would still compare himself to the whole world.
If the twenty-sixth of a Xian High School was like this, what about the others?
He was still very far behind.
He had to work even harder and constantly break his own Limit!
"Show me you condensed it!" Wang Yang said harshly, staring fixedly at Chen Yan.
"Condensed what?"
"The... Force... Pattern!"
Chen Yan pursed his lips, pulled back the sleeve of his clothes, and circulated the 【Red Ridge Body Casting Canon】; the muscles on his chest bulged, and under Wang Yang's incredulous gaze, a pitch-black Grain Mark appeared on Chen Yan's chest.
Seeing this Grain Mark that looked like a Jiu Long, Wang Yang froze in place, stunned for a long while.
"Zhuang Xihang, you go too far!!!"
The roar echoed through the carriage, and the few passengers present looked at Wang Yang strangely.
