Chapter 281: From Now On, Only the Pen of Time Can Write of the Sun and Moon Shining Together!

His figure dissipated, but he had learned his lesson for now, remaining high in the air without straying too far.

Boom!

On the arena, a sudden explosive sound rang out.

Chen Yan and Ma Tianyin struck in an instant, their fists colliding.

A wave of Qi burst forth in an instant.

Boom!

In the blink of an eye, a scorching flame erupted from Ma Tianyin's body, suddenly enveloping Chen Yan.

The searing heat wave swallowed the entire arena, exploding continuously like a giant mushroom.

Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!

Fire dragons, fire lions, and fire leopards rose and vanished within the flames, exploding.

Chen Yan's entire body shuddered.

【Heaven Patrol】, activate!

【Heaven Patrol Extreme Dao】, activate!

Protective patterns, activate!

Horizontal Pushing Fist Intent, activate!

All combat power of the Horizontal Refining path, erupt!

"Die!"

Ma Tianyin sneered, his hands turning into claws, digging directly into the flesh of Chen Yan's arms.

One of Chen Yan's shoulders had already been shattered by Zhan Yu.

Sss, sss, sss!

The flames eroded him.

Chen Yan's body's strength vibrated, golden light wrapping around the shattered shoulder, using circulating force to control his physical body.

He grabbed back with both hands, his five fingers also sinking into Ma Tianyin's arms.

Ma Tianyin's expression shifted.

With a tearing sound.

The two simultaneously tore flesh from each other's arms.

But the next moment, Ma Tianyin's expression trembled slightly; Chen Yan's right hand had locked into the wrist bone of his left hand.

"Kill!!!"

Ma Tianyin roared, paying no heed at this moment to his left hand, which was about to be crushed into mush.

He punched out with his right hand, surging with flames, his hand forming a claw that stabbed toward Chen Yan's chest.

Boom!

The single claw gripped the bones of Chen Yan's chest.

Ma Tianyin was grinning ferociously.

Fierce?

Who isn't?

You think this is just an ordinary battle.

But for me, this is the great opportunity that will change my life.

When there is a great opportunity, one must seize it.

Seize it!

However.

Ma Tianyin gritted his teeth; so hard!

Chen Yan's physical body was too strong.

Is this f***ing Tier 3?

Forget it!

Flame-infused blood energy poured crazily into the wounds on Chen Yan's body.

Sss, sss, sss!

The sound of fire searing flesh rang out.

"Does it hurt?" Ma Tianyin sneered.

Opposite him, Chen Yan's expression was calm.

Does it hurt?

Is it as painful as being beaten to death time and time again by the Blood Sword Saint?

Crack!

Applying force with his right hand, Chen Yan tore off Ma Tianyin's left hand along with the wrist.

"Ah!!!"

A scream rang out.

Ma Tianyin opened his mouth wide; the excruciating pain of his flesh being torn still made him howl for a split second.

Yet, in that very instant.

Boom!

Chen Yan grabbed Ma Tianyin's severed hand and shoved it directly into Ma Tianyin's mouth.

Boom!

Chen Yan slammed a fist into the severed hand, forcing it in.

Crack, crack, crack, crack!

All of Ma Tianyin's teeth shattered, and his body recoiled.

Boom!

Another punch, and half the severed hand was shoved in.

Ma Tianyin's jaw dislocated.

Boom!

Another punch!

The entire severed hand was shoved into Ma Tianyin's mouth; Ma Tianyin's cheeks tore, two bloody gashes extending directly to his ear roots.

Ma Tianyin's eyes blazed with fury, his left hand blocking Chen Yan's onslaught.

He wanted to pull out his right hand that was stabbed into Chen Yan's chest.

Shhh!

A golden light sliced open Chen Yan's chest from the inside out.

Everyone was stunned.

Chen Yan severely wounded himself?

What the hell?

What is this?

Whoosh!

Ma Tianyin's right hand was stuck in the opening of Chen Yan's chest; Chen Yan's muscles bulged, clamping Ma Tianyin's right hand firmly in place.

"Ngh!"

Ma Tianyin's eyes trembled.

"Ngh!!!!!"

He roared with all his might.

His right hand wouldn't come out, it wouldn't come out!

He had not expected Chen Yan to use such a self-harming method to render his right hand combat-ineffective.

Chen Yan's right hand clamped onto Ma Tianyin's left hand in a death grip, his free left hand balled into a fist, striking repeatedly!

Boom, boom, boom, boom!

Punches thrown in an instant.

In a single moment, a hundred punches, a thousand punches.

The God-Entering level 【Heaven-Patrolling Extreme Dao】 erupted, every punch drawing upon all of Chen Yan's own strength.

Ma Tianyin's abdomen was beaten to a pulp, his chest beaten to a pulp.

Skin ruptured, chest shattered.

The meridians throughout his body were snapped, and his Qi and blood pathways could no longer circulate Qi and blood.

His internal organs ruptured, and the particles of his physical body burst one by one.

Qi and blood could no longer erupt, and his combat power was lost.

The flames across the entire arena extinguished.

Boom, boom, boom!

The sounds of punches striking flesh rang out.

The muscles on Chen Yan's chest loosened; Ma Tianyin was already lying motionless on the arena.

Boom, boom, boom!

The rapid sound of punches was deafening.

Above the secret scripts on the edge of the arena, Chen Yan's combat value hovered around 4.3 million.

Hum!

A force enveloped Chen Yan, pushing him away.

The Goat Deacon appeared, silently waving his Qi and blood to envelop Ma Tianyin and toss him outside the arena.

This battle had actually ended the moment Ma Tianyin's right hand was clamped by Chen Yan.

If Ma Tianyin had been more decisive and simply severed his arm.

He would never have fallen into a disadvantage.

This person had been harboring the intent of a death match from the very beginning, but when the critical moment arrived, he didn't even dare to sacrifice his own arm.

How could a death-match conviction raised in a day be stronger than twenty-plus years of accumulated retreat and fear?

Trash.

Someone looked at Ma Tianyin.

Cursing in their heart.

But was he trash?

Ma Tianyin had already been decisive enough, at least more decisive than most heaven-gifted geniuses.

But he still lost to Chen Yan in the conviction of battle.

"Ugh!!!"

In the spectator area, some audience members couldn't take it and began to vomit.

Beneath their masks, many others also turned pale.

Scared.

It is too bloody.

In the Heaven Flail boxing matches, a whole year of matches didn't have as many bloody scenes as today.

Murderous, violent, ferocious.

Anyone could see that Ma Tianyin's overall strength was higher than Chen Yan's, yet he still lost.

The geniuses of the Military Martial Guard are all forged through slaughter.

They are accustomed to these things.

But at this moment, seeing Chen Yan like this, they still feel astonished.

High above in the sky.

Zhu Lili watches in silence, her face also somewhat pale.

Although she is a genius of the Military Martial Guard and a Third-Rank General Star.

The slaughter she has experienced is actually not much.

She is only seventeen years old.

The Military Martial Guard has actually always treated her like a treasure, catering to her every need.

Everyone looks at Chen Yan.

Of the new generation, the second person to enter the top ten of the College Entrance Exam Heaven's Pride Ranking.

Having defeated the tenth, Chen Yan is now the tenth.

No one denies it.

Too strong.

Having revealed his aptitude and will, he now reveals his combat power.

On the other side.

The expression beneath Zhang Luobai's mask also changes, and he suddenly turns to look at Qiu Changji:

"Do you think he brings shame to the Heaven Patrol?"

Qiu Changji is silent.

He is third on the College Entrance Exam Heaven's Pride Ranking, second only to Zhang Luobai and Yu Changsheng.

"If you had the same combat power as Chen Yan, you would undoubtedly lose!"

Zhang Luobai speaks:

"Do not look down on geniuses who come from the bottom, especially those who have been on the path of the Dao for such a short time."

He knows that Qiu Changji is actually somewhat annoyed by Chen Yan.

Because before Chen Yan appeared, Qiu Changji was the only genius to have cultivated the 【Heaven Patrol】 to the level of Micro-Perception.

After Chen Yan appeared, Qiu Changji was no longer the only one.

Especially since Chen Yan has cultivated for such a short time.

Much shorter than Qiu Changji.

Qiu Changji is actually feeling some dissatisfaction, some disappointment, and jealousy inside.

That is why he said those words just now.

It is just that now, the boomerang he threw has hit his own face.

"I don't understand you two!"

Zhang Luobai looks at Qiu Changji and Shi Ziqin with an incredibly complex expression:

"Just as you don't understand me."

Qiu Changji and Shi Ziqin do not speak.

…………

On the arena, Chen Yan is covered in blood.

All around, no one speaks.

Even the sounds of shock have ceased.

A sense of terror.

Terror.

Real, tangible terror.

The look in everyone's eyes as they gaze at Chen Yan changes, whether they are the top ten Heaven's Prides or mere mortals.

What is emerging in their hearts right now is, more or less, not shock.

It is terror.

A person like this should be held in awe.

On the arena, Chen Yan looks up at the sky, locking eyes with Yu Changsheng:

"Am I pitiful?"

He asks.

Yu Changsheng does not answer.

Chen Yan's expression is calm; the light at the tip of his martial path meridian finally extinguishes.

That person died without ever awakening the Word Realm.

He is dead.

The final sound transmitted from the tip was the hiss of an Ancient Divine Beast.

The sensation of being torn apart strikes again.

Chen Yan, covered in blood, walks off the arena with steady steps, heading toward his own cultivation room.

The people all around watched, no one speaking.

What was there to say?

Throats were dry and parched.

It was beyond words.

Suddenly.

Golden light emerged from within the Heavenly Dipper Boxing Tournament.

A man dressed in black robes appeared, his aura powerful, looking at Chen Yan with appreciation.

He extended both hands, and a golden scroll appeared.

He read aloud:

"Chen Yan of Yunmeng, you extinguished the crystallization of malice, thwarted the conspiracy of the alien race, your will soars to the heavens, surpassing all predecessors, and you have turned the tide when all seemed lost!"

The crowd was shocked, looking toward the man, many breathing rapidly.

A member of the Xia Imperial Clan!

The man looked at Chen Yan, a smile appearing on his face:

"The Sovereign of Xia says personally: the words in your heart startle the wind and rain, your love for the people shines brighter than the darkness."

The crowd fell silent, all looking toward that young man in unison.

"From now on, only the Pen of Time can write of the sun and moon sharing their brilliance!"

The man extended one hand, and a radiant medal appeared.

"Chen Yan of Yunmeng, you are hereby granted the Third-Rank, Mountain-Soothing General Star!"

The voice fell.

Pairs of eyes stared fixedly, the radiance displayed upon that medal being incomparably dazzling.

Mountain-Soothing General Star!

To support the mountains of the Great Xia, to soothe the mountains of the human race.

What a high evaluation.

The Sovereign, far away in Jin Province, held this Chen Yan in such high regard!

Astonishment!

Envy!

Awe!

Above the Heavenly Dipper Boxing Tournament, high in the sky.

Shen Keqing frowned:

"Third-Rank?"

Inside the light screen, Xia Hanzhou sighed helplessly:

"He wanted to give the First-Rank, the First-Rank is the highest, but I stopped him."

He sighed softly:

"But Shen Yi also applied for the Third-Rank, the Sovereign... couldn't give the First-Rank, so he gave the Third-Rank.

That First-Rank one will still be given after the college entrance examination."

Xia Hanzhou felt a sense of emotion; Xia Qi was a young person after all.

He looked down below.

Inside the Heavenly Dipper Boxing Tournament.

The young man in green robes removed his mask, revealing a handsome face with blood at the corners of his mouth.

The surroundings were silent.

The final guesses of some people were also shattered.

It really was Chen Yan.

Yet, seeing the young man look at the General Star medal, there was not a trace of joy in his eyes.

Does he not care?

Does he not want it?

Does he not approve?

The crowd frowned.

Chen Yan seemed to truly not care about this Third-Rank medal.

This was a Third-Rank, after all!

"Thank you, Sovereign."

A clear voice rang out; Chen Yan accepted the medal and bowed.

High in the sky, the middle-aged man holding the scroll fell silent.

Could you not smile a little?

If you smiled, I wouldn't be so awkward.

Last time I delivered one to you, you were quite happy.

Did I send the wrong thing?

Within the sight of everyone, the newly appointed Third-Rank General Star walked away quietly.

A trail of blood was left behind him.

High in the sky.

Xia Hanzhou opened his mouth.

To the side, Shen Keqing remained silent for a long time, only speaking slowly after a while:

"He seems to be very disappointed in the Xia clan."

Xia Hanzhou opened his mouth; he wanted to say something, but could not get it out.
