Chapter 405: Not Good, Hurry to Qinzhou!
San Jin was taken aback, feeling somewhat awkward:
"I will definitely... definitely leave a bad review."
As she spoke, she brought out another plate of shredded pork with green peppers and vowed solemnly:
"This is... from another shop, try it."
Chen Yan took it, picked up a piece to taste, and nodded:
"Delicious!"
A trace of satisfaction appeared in San Jin's eyes:
"I... I knew it..."
Chen Yan said with a beaming smile:
"After you leave a bad review with your main account this time, create a secondary account and leave another one."
San Jin stiffened, hesitated for a moment, then nodded.
"How much did this portion cost you?" Chen Yan asked while eating.
"Huh?" San Jin thought for a moment and said:
"About... one... Earth-Vein grade precious medicine."
Chen Yan almost couldn't hold it together and laughed:
"That's alright then."
Within the hidden void.
Lu Menghan frowned:
"What is he doing? This meal is worth an Earth-Vein grade precious medicine?"
Her entire body was covered in golden secret scripts; this was not a formation, but a Bright Moon-grade spiritual artifact used for concealment.
Chen Yan was only at the fourth level and could not perceive her existence at all.
Above Lu Menghan's head.
Inside a hidden space.
Blood Sword Saint stood quietly and patted his head.
San Jin, that foolish child, he couldn't bear to watch.
She couldn't even buy a meal correctly.
Yet at this very moment.
A screen of light appeared, and the figure of Xia Hanzhou emerged within it.
"King Xiayue, I am protecting Chen Yan!" Blood Sword Saint said hurriedly.
"Hmm." Xia Hanzhou nodded:
"What is Chen Yan doing now?"
"Eating!" Blood Sword Saint said decisively.
"Why are you shouting so loudly?!" Xia Hanzhou snapped in a low voice.
Do you have to tell me he's eating as if it were a state secret?
Blood Sword Saint's expression trembled, and he whispered:
"Chen Yan and San Jin are eating, and there is also a..."
"Stop!" Xia Hanzhou was utterly speechless:
"Did you leave your vocal cords in Jinzhou? Can you be normal? Is there anyone who could possibly hear you speaking right now?"
Blood Sword Saint's expression became strained; he had spent a long time in his heart simulating exactly how loudly he should speak.
"What the hell are you doing? Can you just get to the point!"
Xia Hanzhou cursed out loud; he realized that letting Blood Sword Saint protect Chen Yan was the most wrong decision he had ever made in his life.
Blood Sword Saint's expression trembled, and he hurriedly said:
"Chen Yan is eating with San Jin. San Jin said her chicken wings were bought from outside, and Chen Yan said they were delicious but that he would leave a bad review.
San Jin took out the shredded pork with green peppers and told Chen Yan she bought it herself...
Chen Yan said it was delicious, but he still wants to leave a bad review...
Not only does he want to leave a bad review, he also wants to open a secondary account to leave another one..."
Blood Sword Saint kept talking, his speed of speech reaching the extreme.
Xia Hanzhou's face turned black.
He suddenly disappeared from within the light screen.
Blood Sword Saint was stunned; wasn't this supposed to be a communication?
What happened to Xia Hanzhou?
Inside the light screen, Xia Hanzhou's figure was gone, but one could vaguely hear the sound of a conversation in another room.
"Where is my gun?"
This was Xia Hanzhou's voice.
"What are you going to do?" This was Shen Keqing's voice.
"I'm going to slaughter Blood Sword; I can't take it anymore!" This was Xia Hanzhou's voice.
"Damn it!"
The voice was terrifying and contained killing intent.
"Blood Sword, a thing like that, can actually be an eighth-rank; my Great Xia is doomed!!!"
After a low roar, Xia Hanzhou returned to the front of the light screen and spoke calmly:
"Is there anything else? Speak."
His tone was calm, as if nothing had happened at all.
The Blood Sword Saint's eyes widened, his head spinning; his mind was pushed to its limits, and he spoke in extreme panic:
"Chen Yan killed Luo Dongli and intends to continue secretly harming the Alliance of Noble Families.
Lu Menghan and Lu Fusang of the Lu Clan intend to ambush and kill Chen Yan!
If Chen Yan encounters danger, I will intervene; unless it reaches the limit, I will not act, leaving Chen Yan to resolve it alone!"
After the Blood Sword Saint finished speaking, Xia Hanzhou just looked at him for a long while.
The Blood Sword Saint, however, continued to speak loudly:
"Everything is prepared for seven days from now; unless absolutely necessary, never reveal that Chen Yan is about to be appointed as a General!
The turning point of our Great Xia lies in this day; I am willing to go to my death to fight, and I will not shirk my duty!
If I die on this long, arduous road, the world must also step over my corpse and walk toward the deepest reaches of the world!"
Xia Hanzhou pressed his lips together tightly, just looking at the Blood Sword Saint.
He did not speak.
*Click. *
He cut the communication directly.
The Blood Sword Saint let out a sigh of relief and wiped the sweat from his forehead.
Jin Province.
Xia Moon Prince's Mansion.
Xia Hanzhou ran to the next room as if he were the wind.
"What on earth are you trying to do?" Shen Keqing frowned, putting away the long saber in her hand and stopping her martial arts practice.
"Quick..." Xia Hanzhou's expression was pained:
"Quickly go to Qin Province!"
…………
San Jin left.
Not knowing if it was an illusion, when she left, she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
"You must give it a bad review!"
Chen Yan watched San Jin's back and spoke hurriedly.
San Jin's body trembled, and a pair of watery eyes looked at Chen Yan:
"I... I... I will."
She looked at Chen Yan with tear-filled, broken eyes, her red lips moving as she said:
"Is it really... that hard to eat? I thought... I thought... it was alright."
Chen Yan's eyes flickered, and he smiled:
"Actually, it counts as one of the best things I've ever eaten; it's just a bit expensive."
San Jin's body trembled, and she nodded hurriedly:
"Then I... will go give a bad review."
She clenched her fists:
"For selling it... so expensively!"
"Mm." Chen Yan nodded.
After San Jin left, the smile on the corners of Chen Yan's mouth gradually faded, and his gaze returned to its former state, revealing a sense of indifference.
This was perhaps the only problem with being able to become a Master of Will.
Having grown accustomed to the coldness of the world, accustomed to the malice of human hearts, and the malice of the world.
Chen Yan only revealed the emotions he once had as an older brother when he was with Chen Yu.
He could clearly perceive the emotions of all living beings.
He even digitized all living beings in his heart.
"But I am not a machine; I am a living, breathing person. Because I am human, the Martial Dao of Will was born."
Chen Yan whispered in his heart, as if he had gained some realization.
His mind wavered for just a moment.
When did he also develop an attitude like the Xia Lord, viewing living beings as mere numbers?
If not for San Jin's arrival.
Chen Yan wouldn't even have realized this point himself.
He seemed to have almost gone astray, almost detached himself from living beings, and almost become the type of person he hated most.
"The greatness of humanity is always born from animal nature and grows through human nature.
Without humanity, what meaning would the Martial Dao have?"
Chen Yan whispered in his heart.
At this moment, he looked again at the pretty figure slowly disappearing into the dark night.
Under the moonlight, the woman's long hair shimmered with a dark, glossy light; it was very beautiful.
"It was quite delicious," he sighed softly.
But if he didn't let San Jin leave, the things he needed to do would always be delayed.
Chen Yan closed his eyes.
His sensory ability was extremely powerful compared to other martial artists of the same rank.
However, compared to the strong, it is relatively ordinary.
But Chen Yan's perception is different from everyone else's.
He can perceive emotions.
For instance, right now, an emotion harboring killing intent is appearing above Chen Yan's head.
Chen Yan can only perceive it vaguely; although that killing intent is thin, it was still detected by Chen Yan.
Chen Yan closes his eyes.
He begins to perceive himself.
The sound of the sermon gradually stops, but the entire sermon has not yet ended.
It will likely continue tomorrow at noon.
【Saint-Breaking Tree (Level 8): 37/200】
On the Saint-Breaking Tree, a 【Skill】 character Saint-Breaking Fruit has already condensed and emerged.
Chen Yan swallows it in one gulp, and surging skill energy washes through the depths of his mind.
【Illusion-Slaughter Dragon-Carving Style】!
A Sun-Radiance Grade C-tier external tempering martial art.
This is the first Sun-Radiance Grade treasure Chen Yan has encountered so far.
Its value is even above ten Sun-Radiance Grade medicinal treasures.
Chen Yan has kept his Speech Realm open the entire time; with his thinking breaking its limits, he has not missed a single bit of knowledge regarding the sermon.
At this moment, he once again resolves the skill energy within the 【Skill】 character Saint-Breaking Fruit.
Chen Yan has an epiphany in his heart.
The 【Illusion-Slaughter Dragon-Carving Style】 has a total of seven forms.
Each form can be regarded as a powerful ultimate move.
What was taught today is precisely the first form, 【Condensed Radiance Style】.
A very simple name.
But to utilize it, one needs to erupt with one's strongest force and speed in an instant, unleashing hundreds of thousands of force flows in a single moment.
The flow of these hundreds of thousands of forces is even closely related to the external wind speed, one's own body weight, and one's clothing.
To give an example.
If the wind speed were twice as fast, then within these hundreds of thousands of forces that need to be erupted, half of the force operation methods would need to change.
A single 【Condensed Radiance Style】 can push a person's strength and speed to their absolute peak, exerting the most unimaginable effects.
An ant can move a mountain, a withered blade of grass can slash the heavens.
Chen Yan remembers that inside the College Entrance Examination Secret Realm, Lu Xunyang once attacked that giant.
What was displayed at that time seemed to be the 【Illusion-Slaughter Dragon-Carving Style】.
That consciousness avatar itself was not powerful, yet it could battle against a boundlessly massive giant.
Chen Yan constantly simulates in his heart, familiarizing himself with every strand of force flowing through him, and familiarizing himself with every bit of wind force borne by his own hair.
Knowing is easy, doing is difficult.
Only by personally feeling it can one discover just how difficult this Sun-Radiance Grade martial art is to learn.
Chen Yan is secretly startled; this is only the first form of the 【Illusion-Slaughter Dragon-Carving Style】.
It is hard to imagine how profound the following six forms will be.
But the harder a martial art is to learn, the greater the strength it can exert.
Chen Yan slowly opens his eyes; he appears unchanged, but he has already grasped an unprecedentedly powerful asset.
Even if he hasn't entered the threshold.
It is still stronger than all of Chen Yan's previous martial arts.
