Chapter 375: Siblings

"My life will have countless surging waves; if viewed from the future, today is but a wisp of dust in my memories."

Inside the cultivation room, Chen Yan spoke quietly.

He took off the General Star uniform that was already damaged in many places and changed into a green robe.

Chen Yan let out a long breath, first lying peacefully on the floor for a long, long time.

Just staring blankly.

A feeling of exhaustion.

To the outside world, not many days had passed in the College Entrance Examination Secret Realm.

But for Chen Yan, this was fifty Time Seeds, plus the ten days in the outside world.

That was about five months of time.

In other words, Chen Yan had persisted for five months this time without any rest.

At this moment, Chen Yan was unprecedentedly exhausted.

But he was also unprecedentedly comfortable.

"I once made a great vow, yet as I practiced it, I was forgetting the vow."

He murmured, a golden, sun-like radiance emerging in his eyes:

"But the vow is also walking toward me."

Chen Yan smiled; this moment was perhaps the most relaxed he had felt in a long time.

As for why he did not accept Zong Heng's invitation to inspect Xiaoyang.

It was because there was still a Myriad Prison Nether Thunder inside Chen Yan's body.

Chen Yan worried that if experts from all sides came now, and he happened to be unable to suppress the aura of the Myriad Prison Nether Thunder, it would invite trouble.

Being too high-profile was not good after all.

What Chen Yan needed to do most now was to go and slaughter a party.

The Myriad Prison Nether Thunder needed to kill.

Chen Yan also needed resources.

The College Entrance Examination Secret Realm was a treasure trove of resources.

But after leaving the College Entrance Examination Secret Realm, Chen Yan would need to find his own ways.

He had already seen the lightning erupting from those four Lightning Strike Treasure Lands.

Once the Lightning Strike Treasure Lands were fully brewed, they would summon a Heaven-Sent Lightning Tribulation for Chen Yan to temper his physical body.

It could allow Chen Yan's physical tempering path to enter the Law-Extinguishing Realm at an extremely fast speed.

But Chen Yan's blood-energy path still needed resources!

Chen Yan had ascended the Seeking Sun Tower one last time at the final moment, using that last Slash-Dao Seed to condense a Bright Moon-grade, third-class blood-energy treasure medicine.

At the same time, the Saint-Breaking Tree also bore an evolved 【Blood】 character Saint-Breaking Fruit.

But Chen Yan had only managed to fully forge his entire right arm.

The blood-energy capacity of his blood-energy divine body was too large, and the grade of his own blood-energy was also extremely high.

It was in desperate need of resources.

"The resources I need for my blood-energy path to enter the fifth realm, the Law-Truth Realm, could allow an ordinary martial artist to enter the peak of the sixth rank."

Chen Yan murmured, his eyes revealing a murderous intent.

Therefore, he could only kill people and seize treasures.

Chen Yan prepared to take action against the underground organization of the Aristocratic Family Alliance.

Knock, knock, knock.

The door to the cultivation room was knocked upon.

This was the high-level cultivation room Zong Heng had prepared for Chen Yan, which was previously used by Lu Xunyang.

This was the treatment for a top scholar.

Chen Yan opened the door.

With a *poof* sound.

A tall, soft body crashed into Chen Yan's embrace.

"Brother!"

Chen Yu was still in a dream, speaking softly and tenderly, tears appearing in her eyes:

"I thought you were going to die."

Chen Yu was crying and sobbing; the outside world also roughly knew about what Chen Yan had experienced in the College Entrance Examination Secret Realm.

As his younger sister, Chen Yu was likely the one with the most intense emotional fluctuations.

Chen Yan rubbed his younger sister's head, not refusing her embrace.

Feeling a bit of pity for his sister, Chen Yan laughed:

"Come, let me test your current strength."

Chen Yu widened her eyes in an instant, then pouted her mouth, looking extremely resentful.

Chen Yan let out a loud laugh:

"I'm joking."

A brilliant smile instantly bloomed on Chen Yu's face.

"Not testing now, testing later," Chen Yan said again.

Chen Yu took a deep breath and shouted loudly:

"Brother!!!"

After a while.

Chen Yan and Chen Yu were eating in the living room.

Chen Yan rubbed his ears, looking at the dishes.

These were all bought before Chen Yu arrived; the young girl was certainly not short on money now.

Chen Yan saw clearly at the edge of the Martial Dao that his younger sister had been progressing extremely fast during this period.

Her attainments in formations even made Chen Yan somewhat surprised.

It could be said that during this time, Chen Yu already possessed the strength to enter the top ten of the Heaven's Pride Ranking.

After awakening the Word Realm, Chen Yu's speed of progress became even faster.

He somewhat understood why Ji Yannan would choose his younger sister to be a disciple.

"Brother, eat more, hee hee."

Chen Yu kept putting food into Chen Yan's bowl:

"I think that while you were in the College Entrance Examination Secret Realm, you didn't eat well at all."

Chen Yan put a piece of white-cut chicken into his mouth and nodded:

"In the College Entrance Examination Secret Realm, there was simply no time to eat."

Chen Yan chewed the delicious food; the last time he had eaten was in Yunmeng City.

Since coming to Xiaoyang, he hadn't eaten at all.

Although he wouldn't starve to death, he would still develop a desire for gourmet food.

But Chen Yan had a strong will; even if he had a choice, he would choose to cultivate at the first opportunity.

Chen Yu felt heartache hearing this and hurriedly picked up a piece of braised pork and stuffed it into Chen Yan's mouth.

"Brother, those two older sisters who appeared with you, what are they to you?" Chen Yu asked gossiping.

"They are teammates," Chen Yan laughed; San Jin and Cheng Zizhen had also been arranged to stay by the Military Martial Administration.

"Just..." Chen Yu narrowed her eyes and spoke in a low voice:

"Teammates?"

"Yes," Chen Yan nodded and smiled faintly:

"That older sister named San Jin is very strong; I will call her over later to spar with you and test your strength."

Chen Yu's face darkened.

Chen Yan was stunned: "What's wrong? Do you not like that older sister? Then I will personally take action to help you test it later..."

"Eat quickly!" Chen Yu stuffed an egg dumpling into Chen Yan's mouth, then her smile piled up, and she said softly:

"Brother, let's just eat today, okay?"

Chen Yan smiled faintly; the little girl was still trying to fight him.

After a while, Chen Yan was full; martial artists could extract energy from food, and some beast meat was even an excellent spiritual medicine.

But these still could not compare to spiritual medicines.

Chen Yan sprawled on the sofa, feeling deeply emotional: "Once, Uncle Luo brought that bag of Green Dwelling Snake meat, which was a great fortune for our family."

He pondered, taking out a space ring containing several Morning Star-level Heaven and Earth spiritual objects.

Chen Yu took it, and upon seeing the items inside, she trembled instantly.

"Morning Star-level... Morning Star-level spiritual objects..."

The young girl's eyes widened; she had never seen so much money.

"Yes," Chen Yan nodded:

"I have a mission for you."

"What is it?" Chen Yu asked.

"You take these spiritual objects and go to Luo City, and let Brother Luo pick one.

Sell the other one.

Exchange it for a blood-Qi cultivation technique suitable for mortals to practice and a large amount of precious medicine, then take them to Qingshan Town for Teacher Wang Yang."

Chen Yan touched his younger sister's head:

"As for the rest, handle it yourself.

Afterward, take Father and head to Jin Province; someone will secretly escort you."

Chen Yu nodded, but she was still somewhat hesitant:

"Brother, these are Morning Star-level spiritual objects, their value..."

"Even if they were Sun-level spiritual objects, they would not compare to the charcoal they sent in the snow back then," Chen Yan said earnestly:

"Xiaoyu, you must remember, in the process of becoming stronger, you must also always keep your own red heart from being polluted."

Chen Yan smiled; he never lacked help.

He was luckier than many people.

The words spoken to him by his father Chen Yuhu, his teacher Wang Yang, Luo Puxin, and Shen Yiwei influenced his entire life.

Chen Yu nodded, looking at her brother with an admiring and worshipful gaze:

"Brother, you are the person I have always been chasing and admiring."

She smiled brightly, like a flower in March, blooming with a pearly white light under the sun:

"The luckiest thing for me is having a brother like you."

Chen Yan touched Chen Yu's head.

He gave Chen Yu this mission.

It also meant to have Chen Yu stay away from Xiaoyang.

Xia Qi set up a grand scheme for him, hoping for his appointment as a general.

But the expectations of the other party were also a weight difficult to describe.

A First-Rank General Star!

Something not seen in decades.

Chen Yan was not only going to be appointed as a general.

He was also going to bathe in the lightning tribulation under the gaze of the world, and then lead troops to crusade against the Aristocratic Family Alliance.

Every single link would be like a gentle breeze brushing through the void, yet it would have an infinite influence ten thousand miles away, like a heaven-toppling great wave.

This is trust, it is expectation, and it is also a weight.

This is the weight of initiating a change in the world, to be carried on the shoulders of Chen Yan, a youth not yet eighteen.

He will become a human butcher.

The war has already begun!

Not at the border, and not initiated by the Five Clans.

But in Qinzhou, a First-Rank General Star named Chen Yan is about to raise the butcher's knife to slaughter for the world.

Therefore, he must keep his younger sister and father far away from the center of the storm.

Chen Yu was leaving; in no more than the time it takes to eat a meal, she would be separated from her older brother once again.

The tall young girl already possessed the bearing of a beauty, and her two peach-blossom eyes could not help but shed tears.

She had an inexplicable feeling that something major was about to happen.

She vaguely sensed the tone of a final farewell in Chen Yan's words.

"Brother..."

Chen Yu shed tears:

"Aren't you still going to test my strength?"

She stood before the door and grabbed Chen Yan's sleeve, wanting Chen Yan to let her stay.

Chen Yan sighed softly:

"I have always felt quite guilty, wondering if I have been too harsh on you.

You are already more outstanding than the vast majority of geniuses; having a younger sister like you makes me, as your brother, very proud."

Chen Yu left.

She stopped every few steps, always feeling an emptiness in her heart.

Within the consciousness world, the red-dressed woman also sensed Chen Yan's abnormality.

"What is wrong with Chen Yan?" She murmured:

"Could it be that something major is about to happen, involving the Immortal Body?"

She speculated a little, but the more she thought, the more she felt it was impossible to grasp.
