Chapter 36: He Wants to Kill
In the gloomy dungeon, the surroundings were permeated with an obscure Aura, and on the grimly standing iron bars of the prison hung freshly melted water droplets, shimmering with a faint light under the illumination of the Silver Moon outside the window.
"Lord Luo, you have come." Chen Yan looked at the visitor with some surprise.
"Chen Yan, you..." Luo Puxin looked at Chen Yan at this moment, not in a state of extreme Fatigue, and was somewhat stunned, hesitating:
"Have you had your Awakening?"
"I have." Chen Yan spoke; Luo Puxin had saved his life once and had helped him a great deal, and most importantly, the other party knew he was a Limit-Breaking Awakening.
"Hmm... hmm." Luo Puxin nodded, his body slightly turned to the side, his expression obscured by the Darkness, and he spoke plainly:
"That is... not bad."
Although he said it this way, Luo Puxin's heart was beating violently at this moment.
Holy crap, holy crap, holy crap!
He really had an Awakening, a Limit-Breaking Awakening.
How did he manage it? Did he just have an Awakening while throwing punches like that?
Holy crap!
Chen Yan sighed inwardly; Luo Puxin's reaction to his Awakening was too ordinary.
The other party did not seem to be a local Martial Officer of the Town, and his background was very significant.
"Chen Yan." Luo Puxin pondered for a long while, becoming particularly solemn at this moment, his pair of Pupils hidden in the Darkness:
"Are you willing to accept the Tianjiao Cultivation funds from the Martial Officer Corps of the Martial Officer?"
"I am willing." Chen Yan spoke.
"Hmm?" Luo Puxin was Stun, did he not even think about it?
"The Tianjiao subsidy I mentioned is a transition; afterwards, you will join the Martial Officer Corps. You are the genius Chen Yan, you are a very formidable genius, you can refuse, and wherever you go, you will have..."
Luo Puxin's heart beat violently; this was a Break Limit Prodigy!
If this were to spread, I fear the Xia Imperial Clan would send someone over directly.
"I will join." Chen Yan spoke again.
It was too straightforward; Luo Puxin had not even reacted:
"Would you like to... think about it again?"
Chen Yan performed a salute and said calmly:
"Lord Luo."
"Call me Uncle Luo, never mind, call me Luo Ge."
"Luo Ge." Chen Yan nodded:
"Do you know what I was thinking about when I had my Limit-Breaking Awakening?"
"What was it?" Luo Puxin became interested; this was the experience of a prodigy who had successfully achieved a Limit-Breaking Awakening, and he wanted to learn it too.
"One thousand." Chen Yan saw the look of astonishment on Luo Puxin's face:
"At the time of the Awakening, I only had one thousand in my heart.
A while ago, this one thousand was crushing our family so we couldn't catch our breath.
And at this time, someone saved me and even sent our family Qingjiu Snake Meat worth one hundred thousand."
Chen Yan's words echoed in Luo Puxin's Brain for a long time; Luo Puxin was first stunned, then fell into Silence, until now his Mouth was opening and closing, not knowing what to say.
So that was it.
It was because of himself.
He also came from Qingshan Town, and he knew exactly what the one thousand Chen Yan spoke of represented.
A person could complete a Limit-Breaking Awakening that crushed the vast majority of people, and the reason was merely one thousand.
This was the sorrow belonging to certain people, and also their final dignity.
"I did not help you wrong, and you indeed did not choose wrong!" Luo Puxin laughed, very satisfied, very gratified.
But he still felt that Chen Yan joining the Martial Officer Corps was truly a bit too simple:
"Do you want me to help you slaughter Chu Cang, the Strong One of the Chu Family?"
Chen Yan was Stun; what was this for?
"I will help you slaughter him when I have the chance!" Luo Puxin said.
A Tianjiao cannot be bullied; the Chu Family and the Gong Family were both a bit too excessive.
Chen Yan, however, did not care; if they were enemies, he would crush them step by step himself.
Luo Puxin gave Chen Yan some more instructions.
Soon, the group of people in front of the Martial Officer Station stopped criticizing, and Xin Gongxian finally let out a sigh of relief.
The onlookers also dispersed one after another; Hu Zeyuan did not know who had thrown a brick at him with a dark hand, and he was sent to the clinic by his Son, Hu Yuan, who was Crying.
"Xiaoyan, you have been wronged."
In the dungeon, Chen Yuhu sighed deeply, seeing his Son sitting on the ground hidden in the Darkness, his mood complex.
He was quite incompetent.
"It's fine." Chen Yan laughed and looked at Wang Yang:
"Wang Laoshi, it is fine now."
Wang Yang nodded heavily and laughed.
It was fine now!
His student was a genius and had attracted a big figure from the Martial Officer, and he was very proud!
Xin Gongxian stood honestly behind the crowd at this moment, not daring to move or speak.
Xin Gongxian was about to be sent to the city for investigation.
Ye Secretary went to the clinic; his injuries were truly quite severe, his boss also called, and his job was completely gone.
His boss is a member of the Gong Family, but only from an outer chamber; it was impossible for him to go against Yin Yanjun for his sake.
Now, the arrogance previously in Xin Gongxian's eyes had completely vanished, and he looked cautiously at the Youth sitting upright inside the Iron Prison.
He felt inexplicably terrified; who could have known that a village Youth could possess such great energy.
Terrifying.
"Chen Yan, come out quickly." Principal Zhuang spoke, but seeing Chen Yan remain motionless, struggle appeared in his eyes.
"Chen Yan, it is already over." Luo Puxin spoke.
Chen Yan shook his head, appearing to be in a difficult position.
"What is wrong?" Chen Yuhu frowned slightly, knowing his Son seemed to have fallen into a predicament.
"Yes, what is wrong..." Xin Gongxian spoke tremblingly.
I am afraid, you should hurry and come out.
A group of people looked at Chen Yan, only to see Chen Yan speak with difficulty, looking at Xin Gongxian:
"I cannot come out; Director Xin once said that one must be honest in the Town Martial Office."
As he spoke, the color that had just appeared on Xin Gongxian's face vanished instantly.
Chen Yan continued: "If I am not honest, Director Xin will take my life."
Chen Yan's Mu Guang was deep:
"I still want to live."
The crowd was instantly filled with Anger.
Hiss...
A flash of light appeared on Yin Yanjun's body, and he glared toward the back:
"Xin Gongxian!"
"Chief, I..." Xin Gongxian hurriedly begged for mercy.
Boom!
The light struck Xin Gongxian's body, and the latter flew backward, hitting the wall and fainting.
The crowd still held Anger, but Luo Puxin looked at Chen Yan with a strange expression.
His heart skipped a beat; this kid was actually not honest at all, he could act.
He can act, good!
Those who can act live long.
Chen Yan walked out, and only after hearing the development of events from the crowd again did he heave a sigh of relief.
He bowed to the crowd:
"Principal Zhuang, Venerable Luo, Venerable Yin, thank you."
Luo Puxin muttered in his heart, it was too natural.
…………
At night.
Yunmeng City.
High-rise buildings stood upon the earth, and the Yun Xu drifted between them like gauze, ethereal as a fairy veil.
Among the clouds, structures cast from steel emitted a cold light, crisscrossing the city and constructing a wonder like a Qimen Formation.
This was as if it were a city of clouds existing in a Dream.
On the edge of Yunmeng City, a tall Woman figure flew against the steel structures standing high in the sky, her speed extremely fast, her long hair like water.
"Master, I succeeded!"
Chen Yu's face was full of surprise, and two golden Array Disk Markings appeared within her Frost Mo.
"As expected of my disciple, the first time you created a Flying Formation, you were able to use mental power to apply it to yourself.
Tomorrow when you go home, remember to ask your Father for Twenty Thousand; you need to buy some other materials."
Within Chen Yu Yi Shi, the Red Skirt Woman spoke with Laughter.
Pat.
Chen Yu landed on the ground, her expression changing slightly.
She could use mental power to apply a low-altitude Flying Formation to herself, but she could maintain it for at most five minutes.
"What is wrong, doesn't your Jia Li have some money now?" the Red Skirt Woman spoke.
Chen Yu hesitated: "But, my Elder Brother is already in his third year of high school and needs money; Twenty Thousand is not a small amount. I have now joined the Tianbei Fist Tournament, and I can earn money from matches in the future."
As long as she earned money, she could also subsidize the household, so that her Elder Brother and Father would never have to suffer indignities again.
This was the thing she craved most in her heart.
The Suffering she experienced when she was young, she did not want her family to experience again.
The Red Skirt Woman was silent for a long while.
This morning, Chen Yu had even gone to Yigao to ask others if her Elder Brother had entered the True Martial Class; upon hearing the answer, she looked dejected.
In the Red Skirt Woman's view, since he could not even enter a talent class organized by a Xian, Chen Yu should also be clear about her Elder Brother's talent.
That Youth who looked quite good was indeed hardworking and had some talent.
But, it was only some.
Yet this girl actually valued her Elder Brother so much.
After pondering for a while, the Red Skirt Woman sighed and spoke:
"Joining the Fist Tournament can earn money, but no matter what, you need startup capital now; you have just started, and your combat power is not strong."
Chen Yu walked with a slightly troubled expression, not speaking again along the way, while the Red Skirt Woman felt speechless in her heart.
…………
Luoshan County.
Wang Yang and Chen Yuhu went to the Town to buy cooked food; today is a good day.
Yin Yanjun is still organizing the Town Martial Office, and people from the County Martial Office will arrive soon to thoroughly investigate the Qingshan Town Martial Office.
The entire Qingshan Town knows that the sky is about to change.
Wang Yang's home.
Zhuang Xihang, Luo Puxin, and Chen Yan are sitting there.
"Chen Yan, have you thought about taking on a master?" Zhuang Xihang finally spoke; he had endured for a long time.
Chen Yan was somewhat surprised; he had only just learned that the person who fought him was not Zhang Tie, but Wu Chuhua.
"Ahem." Luo Puxin gave a dry cough; Chen Yan is already receiving training from the Military Martial Guard, so the current Zhuang Xihang is somewhat unqualified.
Chen Yan Stood Up and bowed slightly to Zhuang Xihang:
"Thank you for your kindness, Principal Zhuang, but I..." Before Chen Yan could finish, Zhuang Xihang spoke:
"Don't refuse yet. Although I am only a Vice Principal, I have never taken on a Disciple."
Zhuang Xihang was full of solemnity; he had let Wang Yang down over the past two years, and now he wanted to make it up to Wang Yang through Chen Yan:
"You have talent, and you need resources."
"Precious medicines, I will prepare them for you; External Tempering Methods, I will also prepare them for you."
"Over these years, I have saved some money."
"This is not merely a master-disciple relationship; you are my first student, and you will also be my last."
Chen Yan opened his Mouth, and even Luo Puxin was extremely surprised.
Does Zhuang Xihang value Chen Yan this much?
Luo Puxin spoke:
"Zhuang Xihang, I understand you want to take on a Disciple, but if you do, Chen Yan will also need to support you in the future."
Zhuang Xihang nodded; this is as it should be.
He also wants to see the world beyond the Five Viscera Realm.
"But you are a Qi-Blood Warrior, and Chen Yan is a Horizontal Refinement Prodigy; you won't be able to teach him well." Luo Puxin lit a Cigarette and said gloomily.
"You..." Zhuang Xihang was about to speak, but then thought of something and looked at Chen Yan:
"Horizontal Refinement, I can teach that too."
"But Chen Yan's talent for Horizontal Refinement is extremely high; you won't be able to teach him after a few days." Luo Puxin continued to interrupt.
Zhuang Xihang fell into Silence; he did not yet know that Chen Yan had already reached Entry Level in the Breathing Method.
This matter must definitely be revealed, but Luo Puxin was also hesitating about when to reveal it.
Chen Yan remained silent throughout. Zhuang Xihang sighed, knowing Chen Yan's intent, but still unwilling to give up:
"Chen Yan, Instructor Luo said earlier that you were performing Pattern Refining in the dungeon, and that it was Three Patterns—is that true?"
He really refused to accept it.
He is a Qi-Blood Warrior and not skilled in Horizontal Refinement, but no matter how high Chen Yan's Horizontal Refinement talent is, he should still be able to teach the Seventy-Two Patterns Extreme Forging Realm, right?
This Luo Puxin is deliberately blocking him!
To the side, Luo Puxin choked.
Holy Crap.
Forgot about that.
He had only deceived everyone to help Chen Yan keep his Limit-Breaking Awakening a secret; it seems Zhuang Xihang is going to get to the bottom of it now.
"Three Patterns?" Chen Yan was slightly Stun.
"Yes, Instructor Luo said you were performing Pattern Refining in the dungeon, and it was Three Patterns."
"And he told us not to disturb you." Zhuang Xihang smiled; looking at Chen Yan, it seemed as if he didn't even know about it himself.
Then why did Luo Puxin tell them not to disturb Chen Yan?
It's not normal.
Chen Yan glanced at Luo Puxin beside him and noticed that the other man's expression had already changed.
Chen Yan pondered slightly, understood, and spoke with some hesitation:
"I only refined very Shallow Patterns, not Solid Patterns."
"Nonsense, of course you refine Shallow Patterns first; if you could refine Solid Patterns directly... that would be one in ten thousand even in Yunmeng City." Zhuang Xihang smiled.
Still pretending?
Luo Puxin's heart skipped a beat; Chen Yan's Limit-Breaking Awakening must never be exposed. Should he just knock this old guy out?
No, that's too rude.
Forget it, knock him out first and deal with it later.
Just as he was about to raise his hand, Chen Yan spoke:
"Shallow Patterns, I did indeed refine them."
"Good, let me see." Zhuang Xihang's Smile faded, and Luo Puxin raised his arm.
Chen Yan took off his top, revealing his Chest.
"Hoo..." A faint red mist was exhaled from Chen Yan's Mouth.
"Hm?" Luo Puxin froze, and Zhuang Xihang let out a sound of surprise; this Breathing Method...
Before they could speak, they saw Five Dao of Grain Marks emerge on Chen Yan's Chest.
One is a Force Pattern that has already completely solidified.
The other four are Shallow Patterns of Skin, Tendon, Bone, and Force, among which that one Force Pattern has already reached fifty percent solidification.
Luo Puxin froze on the spot.
"How many are there?" Zhuang Xihang Stood Up and leaned in close:
"I didn't bring my reading glasses!"
…………
At around two in the morning, Luo Puxin and Chen Yan walked out of Wang Yang's Jia Li.
Chen Yan has now undergone Limit-Breaking Awakening, and what he needs most is a Cultivation Method.
A Qi Blood Cultivation Technique that can nourish the Ice Element.
This requires Luo Puxin to take him to the Martial Officer of Yunmeng City to request one.
This is part of the training from the Military Martial Department that Luo Puxin mentioned.
Of course, others do not know about this; they only know that Chen Yan is going to register for the True Martial Class with Luo Puxin.
Zhuang Xihang had a complex expression as he followed behind.
Chen Yan's talent in the path of Horizontal Refinement is truly extraordinary!
He is indeed somewhat unworthy to be a Master, but that does not hinder him from teaching Chen Yan later.
Just as the group was about to leave separately, a figure suddenly limped out from a dark corner of the wall.
It was Ye Secretary.
"I'm sorry!"
Ye Secretary spoke loudly, with a sorrowful cry, and bowed his Waist deeply toward Chen Yan:
"I'm sorry, I am a Beast, I looked down on people with my dog eyes, I deserve to die!"
He was trembling all over, like a helpless dog in the Rain, the arrogance in his Pupil had completely Disappeared, and he slowly extended his right hand toward Chen Yan, wanting a handshake of the century.
He had lost his job, lost his backing, and he was nothing.
Now he only begged for Chen Yan's forgiveness.
If Chen Yan could have such great ability, then his talent was beyond his own imagination.
Having an enemy like Chen Yan made him terrified to the extreme.
At this moment, he only wanted to be forgiven.
Luo Puxin and the others all had cold faces, but Chen Yan walked forward and extended his right hand to grasp Ye Secretary's right hand.
Ye Secretary's expression eased slightly; he looked at Chen Yan with gratitude, his eyes brimming with tears:
"Thank you, you, Chen Yan, for being able to forgive me, ah!!!!"
A horrific scream broke the silence of the night.
Crack!
Ye Secretary's index Finger was broken, and Chen Yan applied force again with one hand.
Clang!
"Ah!!!"
The excruciating pain of ten fingers connected to the heart surged; Ye Secretary clutched his right hand and fell to the ground, struggling continuously, howling like a pig waiting to be slaughtered.
All five fingers were forcibly snapped by Chen Yan.
Everyone was shocked.
Chen Yan was actually this decisive.
"This is what you owe Wang Laoshi." Chen Yan said with a cold voice.
What was owed to Wang Yang has been repaid.
What was owed to him has not.
The other party came to apologize not because he knew he was wrong, but because he, Chen Yan, was not so easily broken.
If he did not have the Po Saint Realm and had not undergone Limit-Breaking Awakening, what would happen to him, what would happen to Father, and what would happen to Xiaomei?
A Beast almost destroyed their family!
The crowd could only see Chen Yan's back, unaware that Cold Light was shooting from the bottom of his Pupil, with surging killing intent.
He wanted to kill.
