Chapter 411: What you are wasting is the time of a First-Rank General Star, understand?

Jidao Wu frowned; Xi Congyun was trying to have Chen Yan submit to him, to let the reputation belonging to Chen Yan come to him.

Xi Congyun was not stupid; although Chen Yan was not favored by the Xia Clan, he had the support of the Xiaoyang City Military Guard and a power base in Qinzhou.

At this moment, he also chose to invest in Chen Yan.

Jidao Wu knew Xi Congyun's intentions, but he did not warn Chen Yan.

He knew Chen Yan was not stupid; everything depended on Chen Yan's own choice.

Mu Zigui also looked at the handsome young man and smiled:

"Well, do you agree?"

A hint of a smile appeared at the corners of her mouth.

In her view, there was no reason for Chen Yan not to agree.

Agreeing to a life-and-death duel might have been a momentary lapse in judgment for Chen Yan, but he should have calmed down by now.

Mu Zigui's smile gradually deepened; Chen Yan was a rare talent, and if such a talent could be brought under Xi Congyun, then what did it matter if Xi Congyun stood firmly against the Xia Clan?

In any case, the ruler who did not favor Chen Yan was about to pass away.

How the future political situation of the Xia Clan would unfold still required maneuvering by all parties.

Behind her was the Mu family, also a great clan, fully qualified to participate in this struggle of maneuvering.

Unlike the other General Stars.

Xi Congyun's gaze was more far-reaching.

Mu Zigui just watched Chen Yan like this, waiting for Chen Yan's answer.

Chen Yan smiled:

"Forget it, I'd rather go duel Lu Fusang myself."

Mu Zigui was stunned, and then her expression changed:

"You want to refuse?"

"Yes." Chen Yan spoke: "I don't think I am unable to deal with Lu Fusang."

Mu Zigui narrowed her eyes; she discovered that she had still underestimated Chen Yan's courage.

This wasn't being brave; this was seeking death.

A Fourth-Rank shaking a First-Rank Fifth-Rank?

Isn't this just stupid?

"The opportunity has already been given to you; do not ruin yourself."

Mu Zigui stood up, her voice turning a bit colder.

To the side, Jidao Wu frowned and looked at Mu Zigui:

"Although I think your proposal is useful, these methods of yours will also make people despise you."

Before a life-and-death battle, to first severely injure the opponent?

Even if Chen Yan won afterward, he would be despised by others.

"Shut your mouth!" Mu Zigui snapped coldly.

"Hmm?" A flash of anger erupted in Jidao Wu's eyes.

"I am here to save him, what does it have to do with you!" A cold intent appeared in Mu Zigui's eyes.

"You're going to make me laugh to death; aren't you doing this for yourself?" Jidao Wu barked.

Chen Yan frowned; how did these two Second-Rank General Stars start arguing?

"The two of you."

Chen Yan spoke.

Mu Zigui, however, ignored Chen Yan entirely, her cold eyes meeting Jidao Wu's:

"I am doing this for myself, then what are you here for?"

"I feel like it!" Jidao Wu snapped coldly.

Chen Yan frowned and looked at Mu Zigui:

"If you want to argue..."

"Shut up!" Mu Zigui looked at Chen Yan, snapped, and then glared at Jidao Wu.

Mu Zigui narrowed her eyes.

Jidao Wu was a major rival for Xi Congyun in the contention for the Second-Rank General Star.

As for Chen Yan, she was too lazy to pay attention to him at the moment.

"I, Mu Zigui, am the legitimate daughter of the Mu family; you must not..."

Hum!

In an instant.

A terrifying pressure descended.

This pressure seemed like the booming of countless majestic sounds!

Chen Yan's eyes were cold and stern as he looked at Mu Zigui:

"Do I need to rent you a house so you can curse for a whole day?"

In a flash, the expressions of Jidao Wu and Mu Zigui changed slightly.

Especially Mu Zigui; this will-pressure was clearly aimed at her.

"You!"

Mu Zigui's expression trembled; this was her first time coming into close contact with Chen Yan's will-pressure, why was it so powerful?

Why was it different from the day Chen Yan was lecturing on the Dao?

Her mind was shaken at this moment, and a trace of cowardice arose within her head.

"What are you doing!" Mu Zigui growled.

Her vermilion lips parted, and the next moment, she reached out with one hand.

"Mu Zigui!" Jidao Wu barked, preparing to strike as well.

But then.

At this moment.

Golden light suddenly burst from Chen Yan's eyes, and he smashed out with one hand; a white jade wheel of light instantly bloomed on his right hand, and with a single finger strike, a terrifying radiance exploded forth.

The Foundation Realm shook!

Boom, boom, boom, boom!!!!

Eight layers of fist intent stacked!

Heart-Entry level 【Radiance-Condensing Style】!

Heart-Entry level 【Forging the Vast Firmament】!

With a bang.

Chen Yan's finger collided with Mu Zigui's right hand; the rolling force exploded in the void, but it was controlled by a strange power and did not erupt, protecting the furniture inside the room.

Bang!

Mu Zigui's body retreated violently, and looking at the blood hole in her palm, her pupils suddenly constricted.

Even Jidao Wu's body trembled, looking at Chen Yan with extreme astonishment.

This momentary collision did not produce a major riot, but the control of power Chen Yan displayed in that fleeting instant was terrifyingly shocking.

"You, you, you, you..." Mu Zigui spoke, her beautiful face trembling at this moment.

She saw it.

That was the 【Radiance-Condensing Style】!

And, it was a Heart-Entry level 【Radiance-Condensing Style】!

This...

Mu Zigui's mind was shaken, and in almost an instant, she sensed something wrong.

Something extremely wrong.

She stepped forward, intending to strike again to test him.

But at this very moment.

Hum!

Streaks of white light suddenly condensed within the room, and immortal mist permeated and descended, transforming into a thirteen-year-old bald young girl.

The young girl's appearance was exquisite to the extreme, and an indescribable nobility and mystery condensed between her brows.

"Grand Provost!"

Mu Zigui's body trembled.

Even Jidao Wu's eyes widened, and the next moment, he instantly bowed:

"Greetings, Grand Provost."

A layer of cold sweat instantly seeped out on Mu Zigui's forehead; she lowered her head, staring fixedly at the floor.

Yet in her heart, a thousand, ten thousand questions arose.

Why had Chen Yan's strength reached this level?

Why had he already cultivated the 【Radiance-Condensing Style】 to Heart-Entry?

Why was the Grand Provost here?

The Provost little nun stood in the void, her eyes looking at Chen Yan with astonishment:

"Chen Yan, how did you reach Heart-Entry so quickly?"

Chen Yan did not answer.

To the side, Mu Zigui spoke with difficulty in her breathing:

"Grand Provost, why are you here?"

Sweat trickled down her fair forehead, and a conjecture appeared in her mind that she found hard to accept.

"If I didn't appear, this house would have been demolished by you; when Xi Congyun comes by then, the First-Rank General Star of the Great Xia would have been exposed prematurely."

As the Grand Provost's voice fell, Mu Zigui stood stunned on the spot.

Rumble!

In her mind, it was as if countless thunderbolts were roaring.

Even Jidao Wu was looking at Chen Yan in disbelief.

"Mu Zigui, your Mu family intends to exhaust everything to invest in Xi Congyun, but the Sovereign has said that as the change of the Great Era approaches, the noble families will always be the malignant tumor of the decaying Xia Clan.

I hope you do not delude yourself and harm both yourself and your Mu family."

A rare coldness appeared in the Provost little nun's eyes:

"Chen Yan is the First-Rank General Star long since designated by the Xia Clan, a future Divine General.

He is very busy; on one hand, he must prepare for the General-Bestowal, and on the other, he must prepare to battle Lu Fuxang.

What you are wasting is the time of a First-Rank General Star, understand?"

As her voice fell, Mu Zigui's complexion turned deathly pale; as she slowly raised her head and met Chen Yan's eyes again, the meaning in her eyes had completely changed.

Jidao Wu's chest was also heaving violently at this moment; he looked at Chen Yan, then instantly knelt on one knee:

"Greetings to the First-Rank General Star!"

He knew that a First-Rank General Star could no longer be called a mere General Star.

In the past few decades, how many Second-Rank General Stars have there been in the world?

But there has never been a First-Rank General Star.

What a First-Rank General Star represents is fundamentally a different meaning altogether!

Endless bitterness and regret surfaced in Mu Zigui's eyes, and at this moment, she also knelt on one knee:

"I pay... respects to the First-Rank... General Star."

Chen Yan looked at Jidao Wu and waved a hand to help him up:

"Brother Wu, why be like this? You have helped me so much, and I am deeply grateful."

Jidao Wu rubbed his forehead, looking at Chen Yan now, feeling complex emotions while also having a trace of deep reflection:

"I was also startled, but looking at it now, I understand everything. No wonder, no wonder..."

Jidao Wu shook his head, a look of relief appearing in his eyes.

Once upon a time, he too had desired the position of a First-Rank General Star.

But looking at it now, if it is Chen Yan who takes it, that is not bad either.

The Grand Minister waved a hand, and a bluestone stele suddenly appeared.

"You two must accept the sealing of the Heart-Questioning Stele; while Chen Yan is the head of the First-Rank General Stars, it must not be exposed prematurely."

Mu Zigui was still kneeling on one knee, a thick bitterness surfacing in her eyes at this moment.

"Brother Wu does not need to; I trust Brother Wu," Chen Yan said, looking at Jidao Wu:

"Brother Wu, I ask that you spar with me; I wish to comprehend the Fist Realm through combat."

Jidao Wu's expression trembled slightly:

"Good... good!"

Afterwards, the two went directly to the training room.

As for Mu Zigui, she glanced at the tightly shut door of the training room and began to accept the Heart-Questioning Stele.

Tears flowed from her eyes.

Just a moment ago, all her fantasies regarding Xi Congyun had completely shattered.

The Nation-Ruling Xia Qi and Chen Yan had deceived everyone in the world.

A member of the Chen clan had actually been secretly designated as a First-Rank General Star long ago.

If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, she would never have dared to believe it.

…………

Inside the training room, Jidao Wu and Chen Yan exchanged blows, the sound of their fists whistling.

"Brother Wu, there is no need to be too careful; I possess the Immortal Body, you cannot kill me," Chen Yan looked at Jidao Wu:

"You must find a way to kill me, so that I may seek a chance to break through my limits in the extreme."

Chen Yan's voice was clear and bright; he did not fear hardship, only the inability to break through his limits.

Only by fighting with all his might would his strength increase at the fastest rate.

Jidao Wu was stunned, then nodded, though he was secretly shocked in his heart.

Time passed slowly.

Until the next day.

Only one and a half days remained until the battle between Chen Yan and Lu Fusang.

Only two and a half days remained until the Thunder-Strike Treasure Land fully manifested in the world.

Only then did Jidao Wu and Chen Yan end their battle.

"Chen Yan, your Immortal Body is indeed powerful; I feel you have the strength to fight Lu Fusang!"

Jidao Wu sighed with emotion.

Chen Yan's speed of improvement was indeed immense.

In half a day and one night, he had actually stacked his Fist Intent to ten layers.

Moreover, Chen Yan's sparring was almost desperate, not leaving himself a single shred of rest time.

This desperate way of training made even Jidao Wu feel somewhat unable to understand.

"I feel it is still not enough."

Chen Yan sighed lightly:

"If I cannot ascend to the Fist Realm, I will always be lacking a little."

Jidao Wu pursed his lips; he discovered that Chen Yan's greatest enemy was Chen Yan himself.

Chen Yan sat down cross-legged.

Jidao Wu breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed Chen Yan was going to rest.

At this moment, Chen Yan's consciousness entered the Continent-Bright Mirror once again.

The land was still desolate, and the moment Chen Yan appeared, a human face formed from thunder appeared in the firmament.

Chen Yan took a deep breath.

At this moment, his state of mind changed, knowing that it was difficult to survive the Law-Extinguishing Realm Thunder Tribulation by his own power alone.

After all, he had already failed so many times before.

Following the change in Chen Yan's state of mind.

Crackle!!!

Above the four directions of the land, four bolts of thunder suddenly rose from within the earth, and these four bolts of thunder shot into the clouds, connecting together.

They transformed into a massive thunder net.

This was the Thunder-Strike Treasure Land.

Because of the change in Chen Yan's intent, the Continent Bright Mirror evolved the Lightning Strike Treasure Land.

Immediately, the lightning tribulation began.

As the first bolt of lightning tribulation fell, the lightning net of the Lightning Strike Treasure Land indeed blocked the majority of the tribulation's power.

The power that landed on Chen Yan was only thirty percent.

Crack!

The lightning tribulation fell once more.

Chen Yan unleashed the 【Condensed Radiance Style】, and the expression of the giant face in the sky gradually changed.

Finally, when the fifth bolt of lightning tribulation arrived, the eyes of the giant face in the sky opened.

The benevolent thoughts of Zhou Ming were stirred, and at this moment, it was quietly weakening the lightning tribulation.

Crack!

The sixth bolt of lightning tribulation fell, and the lightning net of the Lightning Strike Treasure Land was completely shattered.

But Chen Yan could still withstand the power of this bolt of lightning tribulation.

The seventh bolt!

Crack!

Chen Yan's physical body shattered once again.

The eighth bolt!

Rumble!

Chen Yan's physical body was struck until only a final breath remained; his Immortal Will erupted, and Chen Yan's vitality began to recover.

It continued until the ninth bolt.

The power of the ninth bolt of lightning tribulation was terrifying to the extreme; the moment it arrived, it brought Chen Yan a pressure that was completely impossible to resist.

Terrifying, terrifying, terrifying!

Boom!

The ninth bolt of lightning tribulation fell.

Chen Yan, dead!

Inside the cultivation room, Chen Yan opened his eyes.

This time, Chen Yan had lasted directly until the ninth bolt of lightning tribulation appeared, which was much more resilient than before.

But...

Chen Yan's expression changed slightly.

Even after using the blocking effect of the Lightning Strike Treasure Land and unleashing the 【Condensed Radiance Style】 to make Zhou Ming awaken his benevolent thoughts.

He still did not completely survive it.

In the end, what was missing?

Chen Yan shook his head, sweeping away the negative emotions in his heart.

Afterwards, he looked at Jidao Wu, who was resting nearby:

"By the way, Brother Wu, I have one more matter."

"What matter?" Jidao Wu asked.

"Do you know about the Life and Death Note?"

As Chen Yan's voice fell, Jidao Wu's pupils constricted.

At the same time.

The outside world.

In an instant, an uproar arose.

Yet, a figure in white was seen tearing through the clouds, appearing high above Xiaoyang City.

This person's stature was upright, his body wreathed in brilliant divine light, and streaks of golden electric light flickered between his brows.

His gait was ethereal, his eyes condensed with an indescribable arrogance, and his appearance was as handsome as someone from a book.

At the same time.

The Lu Fusang soul-clone that had been sitting cross-legged high above Xiaoyang City stood up, turning into a stream of light that submerged into his brow.

As the people of the world looked on, they were all astonished.

The true form of Lu Fusang had arrived!
