Chapter 40: Mysterious Fruit, Destroying a Mountain with One Punch!

Seeing the endless stream of people at their doorstep, Chen Yu and the Red Skirt Woman fell into a daze.

It really was a bit too shocking.

The villagers waiting in line all smiled when they saw Chen Yu, preparing to strike up a conversation.

Chen Yu was scared and hurriedly lowered her head, running into the courtyard of her own Jia Li; it was Chen Yuhu, who had just reached the front door, who pulled her inside.

What on earth had happened?

Chen Yu's heart was filled with questions.

This was not something that could be brought about just by her scoring first place.

Looking at her Father who was blocking the door, Chen Yu was about to speak, but saw Chen Yan and an Elder walking over from the room.

Chen Yan had naturally returned long ago; after all, Luo Puxin had great strength.

Within Chen Yu's Consciousness World, the Red Skirt Woman had not paid much attention to Chen Yan, but at this instant, her expression suddenly changed.

Had he grown a bit taller, become a bit more handsome, his physique... seemed to have become stronger too, and there was the scent of SoulRefining.

He...

"Many thanks for the kind intentions, Teacher Xia Dong, it's just... I am not in need of these recently."

Chen Yan looked at Xia Dong and smiled faintly.

Xia Dong was stunned, looking at Chen Yan and then back at the gifts in his hands.

His face was like a gloomy painting, tangled with regret and complexity, and then he slowly shook his head and left.

Wang Yang truly had good luck.

Chen Yan was a Heavenly Pride whom the County True Martial Division Chief had personally come to find; that was the true dragon-like youth, about to take flight.

He had actually never seen it.

He was blind.

A faint smile still hung on Chen Yan's face, but in reality, it gave people a solidified chill, until he looked at Chen Yu, and then he smiled gently:

"You came back just at the right time, the meal is ready."

He walked over and patted his Sister's head.

Chen Yu immediately narrowed her eyes like a cat, then dodged Chen Yan's hand, watching the back of the departing Xia Dong and listening to the noisy crowd outside the Yuan Wai, only then did she speak excitedly.

"Brother, you became a martial artist?"

"Mm, a Horizontal Refinement martial artist." Chen Yan nodded.

Not many people knew he had achieved Awakening of Qi and Blood: Luo Puxin, Shen Yiwei, and that female student of Shen Yiwei who helped him, whom he only found out about later.

There was no need to announce the Awakening of Qi and Blood yet, and Luo Puxin had also provided Chen Yan with some Methods to conceal it.

"Wow!"

Suddenly feeling a little cat pounce into his embrace, Chen Yan hugged Chen Yu and also smiled.

"I just said it, my brother is so amazing."

"A Horizontal Refinement martial artist is much more powerful than a Qi-Blood Warrior!"

Chen Yu was full of pride; since her Brother practiced Horizontal Refinement, then Horizontal Refinement must be stronger than Qi-Blood.

"Two days ago, Zhou Jiayi even mocked me."

"Who is Zhou Jiayi?" Chen Yan asked.

"She's in our class, she said her brother got into the True Martial Class." Chen Yu's face was full of defiance.

Chen Yan gave a faint smile; his sister was only fifteen years old, after all.

Within Chen Yu's Consciousness World, that Red Skirt Woman frowned slightly.

She had felt it very clearly; Chen Yan possessed SoulRefining, and someone had used some Methods to conceal it.

However, why not speak of it?

Being both Horizontal Refinement and SoulRefining, a normal youth should find it hard to hide these; who doesn't love to show off in front of others, to be a Saint Realm upon a Saint Realm?

………………

"What is that Ye Secretary's name!"

At the dining table, Chen Yu kept a cold face, clearly extremely angry.

Having heard about Chen Yan's incident last night, the Little Girl felt only anger in her heart.

"You don't need to worry about it." Chen Yan smiled, a flash of cold light crossing his eyes; he would take action against Ye Secretary in the next few days.

"His name is Ye Yong, he is just a dog!" Chen Yuhu snorted coldly; the more he thought about yesterday's events, the angrier he became.

"Mm." Chen Yu nodded and lowered her head, but she was conversing with the Red Skirt Woman in her Consciousness World.

"Teacher, I..." Chen Yu hesitated.

There were some things she was afraid of, but that person had already harmed her family, and if it weren't for her Brother pulling through...

The Red Skirt Woman's red lips parted slightly, but she gave a faint smile:

"You... then let's set off in these few days; Teacher will resolve it for you, you also need to experience these things."

"Thank you, Teacher."

Chen Yu spoke; there were some things she had to do.

This table of food was very sumptuous; the family had been considered wealthy these past few days, and they could eat things they couldn't afford in the past, especially now that Chen Yu had returned.

After a while, Chen Yan saw that Chen Yu's manner was very strange, and he spoke:

"What's wrong?"

Chen Yu lowered her head, and only after a long while did she mumble:

"Brother, I want some money."

"What do you need money for?" Chen Yuhu spoke loudly, and Chen Yu's heart turned cold.

"How much do you need?" Chen Yan drank his soup and looked at his sister. If his sister could rank first, it meant her talent was very high; a genius needed money.

Hearing Chen Yan ask directly how much, Chen Yu let out a sigh of relief and said cautiously, "Twenty thousand."

"Twenty thousand!" Chen Yuhu jumped up; this was a large sum.

At this moment, in the Consciousness World, the Red Skirt Woman also fell into silence.

It was ridiculous to think that she was currently worried about twenty thousand.

Twenty thousand was indeed a large number for Chen Yan's family.

She, who had once looked down upon The World, was now feeling anxious over twenty thousand.

"You need that much?" Chen Yan was also surprised; when he was fifteen, he had been cautious even when spending one yuan.

"To buy Qi Blood Potion, I'm about to reach Awakening," Chen Yu bluffed.

Chen Yan's brow relaxed, and he then looked at Chen Yuhu:

"Dad, just give her thirty thousand. I don't need to spend money here anymore, and I have some methods to earn money in the future."

The matter was settled.

Although Chen Yuhu still wanted to ask more, he was persuaded by Chen Yan.

"Don't worry, it is extremely difficult for me to become a martial artist, so I won't let you struggle," Chen Yan said quietly.

A smile bloomed on Chen Yu's face, and in the Consciousness World, the Red Skirt Woman was silent.

This time, she didn't say anything more about Chen Yan.

Not bad.

"Xiaoyu, I will prepare some Qi-Blood Treasure Medicine at Yigao in the future. Come find me in a while." Chen Yan was clearly very concerned about Chen Yu's SoulRefining path and told her after the meal.

"Brother, you've just entered the True Martial Class, how will you prepare Qi-Blood Treasure Medicine?" Chen Yu was stunned.

"I have some channels." Chen Yan walked into his room.

Chen Yu returned to her room, still pondering Chen Yan's words, and smiled:

"Teacher, my brother is very impressive, right?"

The Red Skirt Woman lightly pursed her red lips:

"With me, your progress will be very fast. If your Elder Brother wants to prepare treasure medicine for you, he should still prepare some as soon as possible; after a long time, perhaps you won't need it."

"Mm, but my brother just entered the True Martial Class," Chen Yu said softly:

"I joined the Tianbei Fist Tournament; my speed of earning money might surpass my brother's. By then, Lao Ge will surely be shocked."

…………

【Po Saint Realm: Level 3 (28/75)】

【Sacred Fruit:

Strength: (78/100)

Blood: (6/100)

Technique: (12/100)

Physique: (93/100)】

Inside the room, Chen Yan checked the Sacred Tree.

The initial small tree, though still slender, carried a Life Force rare in the past.

Standing alone in the mist, lonely yet persistent.

On the seemingly withered branches, four fruits of varying sizes were as round as pearls, shining brilliantly.

Four...

Chen Yan looked closely, and suddenly his Mu Guang trembled.

On a branch he had never paid attention to, there was actually a Silver Fruit the size of a mung bean.

If Chen Yan hadn't looked carefully, he would never have discovered it.

Perhaps this fruit had been there before, but it hadn't grown at all.

Not right.

Something was not right.

Chen Yan opened his Mouth; the Data Panel only had four types of fruits, and he had never obtained any silver energy.

Then where did this fruit come from?

The more Chen Yan thought about it, the stranger he felt.

After a long while, he stopped paying attention to it.

Before the fruit ripened, he couldn't pick it, and as for what this fruit was, he couldn't know even if he wanted to right now.

He suppressed his curiosity.

Chen Yan took out an Iron Box from his backpack; according to Luo Puxin, this was a Horizontal Refinement Fist Technique personally cast for him by the Vice Chief of the Town Martial Officer.

The other party valued him too much, and Chen Yan couldn't help but feel strange.

Along his journey, some had looked down on him, and some felt they could crush him as easily as an ant.

But there were also those who helped and believed in him.

He did not always face despair.

Those who slight me, I shall slight in return; those who value me, I shall value in return!

Chen Yan took out a blood-red Origin Crystal from the Iron Box. At a glance, he saw a Red Glow surging within it, manifesting a human figure.

"Chen Yan, I am too busy, so I have no time to see you, but after knowing your deeds, I wanted to pass this Red Heart Fist to you."

A man's voice rang out. Chen Yan was stunned; it was the voice of the man in the Blood-Sniffing Room.

The Origin Crystal could actually transmit sound.

"Red Heart Fist is derived from Red Gang Mysterious Strike Fist and matches your Breathing Method, so there is no need to worry about issues with your meridians.

This was created between life and death when I was twenty-five years old, and with it, I killed the first Ancient Divine Beast of my life."

"The name Red Heart Fist is very plain, but the only thing I thought of before I died was just this red heart of mine."

He seemed to lock eyes with Chen Yan:

"I hope you also have a red heart."

After the man finished speaking, the scene within the Origin Crystal changed abruptly; he was standing in front of a mountain.

Chen Yan watched carefully; within the Po Saint Realm, a vigorous Golden Light appeared at this moment, surging over.

Yet he saw him standing tall and aloof, his body slightly bent, and as his muscles bulged, a red vortex like flickering flames rose eerily on his right fist; following his accumulation of power, this vortex surged more and more violently, swirling and circling between his fist and wrist.

"Ha!"

As the man's eyes widened in anger and he let out a violent shout, he punched out!

The huge vortex suddenly rotated in reverse, carrying the force of a mountain collapsing and a sea overturning, and exploded ferociously!

Boom!

The fifty-meter-tall small mountain was blasted apart with a roar, and the erupting Red Gang gale was like a hurricane passing through, snapping trees.

Chen Yan withdrew his gaze, and after finishing this scene, his whole person was struck by this substantial punch, falling backward.

He lay on the bed, his whole person alarmed and moved.

This is... a punch that destroys a mountain!

What kind of strength is this martial artist!

This punch...

Whoosh!

Chen Yan sat up abruptly, his eyes staring fixedly at the Origin Crystal.

He must learn it!

Regardless of the stinging pain in his brain, Chen Yan began to perform Observation and Imagination as if famished and thirsty.

This was the first time he had witnessed the world of the Strong Ones; if he had such strength, who could bully him?

Within the Po Saint Realm, the Golden Light flowed endlessly, surging and moving.

Not knowing how much time had passed, Chen Yan swallowed a Ji Character Fruit, and the skill Origin belonging to the Red Heart Fist was absorbed by him in an instant.

At this moment, a heroic and indescribable feeling seemed to be in his heart, and Chen Yan got out of bed.

Boom!

He punched out, waves of wind surging, but the next moment, the voice of his Sister next door rang out.

"Brother, are you practicing your fist?"

Chen Yan's pupils flashed; it was indeed a bit noisy, so he pulled the door open and went out.

"Brother, where are you going?" Chen Yu asked.

"I have something to do, you go to sleep first." Chen Yan had already left the courtyard.

Leaving only Chen Yu behind, pouting her lips:

"It's past midnight."

Next door, Chen Yuhu opened the door and shook his head:

"Your brother is just like this; he basically doesn't rest much. Martial artists..."

Chen Yuhu's eyes were full of complexity:

"Martial artists are tired too."

He only wanted his son and daughter to live a safe, happy, and joyful life.

Chen Yu slowly shook her head:

"It's not that martial artists are tired, it's that my brother is tired; Brother is really so diligent."

She seemed to be infected by it; previously, Master had also advised her to rest early.

She had to be diligent.

"Rest is also very important; good sleep will improve the efficiency of your Cultivation Technique. What your brother is doing is like pulling up seedlings to help them grow; the efficiency is not high."

The Red Skirt Woman spoke; what she said was the truth.

Pushing too hard will lead to trouble.

It was just that Chen Yu still continued her Cultivation Technique for Two Hours before sleeping.

………………

The next day.

Qinzhou, Cloud Palace.

"Chu Lan is actually this stupid!"

A cold shout rang out from a beautifully decorated room; the other Vice Chief of the City Martial Officer, Gong Hangwen, had an extremely gloomy expression at this moment.

"The Old Chief values this True Martial Class extremely highly, and this is also a key point of competition between me and Shen Yiwei!"

A dog cannot change its habit of eating excrement!

In order to consolidate his own network of relationships, he is actually touching the master's food!

It would be strange if Gong Hangwen were not angry.

"Since that is the case, I will go; I will go and take over Chu Lan's position."

On the sofa to the side, the man named Gong Tuo spoke, and Gong Hangwen was silent for a while before saying:

"Brother Tuo, it can only be so. The Old Chief values the younger generation; Luoshan County is my weak point, but it must absolutely not be lost."

Gong Tuo nodded and spoke:

"I will issue five Gong Family Contracts to outstanding Heavenly Prides."

"Mm." Gong Hangwen nodded, then thought of something and said:

"I heard that Chu Lan was pulled down because of a Horizontal Refinement Prodigy named Chen Yan; you should give one of these Contracts to Chen Yan."

Gong Tuo was stunned: "This Chen Yan has good talent, but his foundation is extremely poor, and wouldn't signing him be slapping the Chu Family in the face?"

Gong Hangwen stood with his hands behind his back, silent.

Gong Tuo understood; Gong Hangwen indeed wanted to use Chen Yan to slap the Chu Family in the face.

Chen Yan and the Contract were merely tools to beat the dog.

The Chu Family should be very disgusted with this Chen Yan right now, but the Gong Family insisted on giving Chen Yan a Contract, just to tell them.

The Chu Family is nothing but the Gong Family's dog.

They must be obedient.
