Chapter 47: What, Just This?

"Wu Chuqi, you did well today, killing an Ancient Beast worth twenty points."

Zhuang Xihang counted the Fake Eyes inside Wu Chuqi's cloth bag, a hint of a Smile appearing in his eyes.

Wu Chuqi sighed softly:

"Actually, there is still no way to exert my true strength; my Qi-Blood Martial Technique has not yet reached Entry Level, and the combat power I displayed is very poor."

Zhuang Xihang nodded:

"That is correct. Sparring is meant to enhance the students' strength in terms of Technique. Even if you are at the peak of the Five Viscera Realm, if you do not have an Entry Level Qi-Blood Martial Technique, it is of little use."

Wu Chuqi wiped the blood from his body and looked at his younger Brother beside him:

"Chuhua, you are the same. You lost to Chen Yan not only because your attainments in the Extreme Forging Realm are inferior to Chen Yan's, but also because of your Technique."

Wu Chuhua did not speak; Chen Yan was a madman, and he did not want to compare himself to a madman.

No, that was wrong; he used to be a madman too.

As he spoke, Wu Chuqi looked toward a Youth in the distance with a fierce expression standing outside the gate of the Xuyang District, and not far from the other party were Li Qingyuan and the others.

The Youth with the fierce expression was the eighth-ranked student of this True Martial Class, Li Shaowu.

As for Li Qingyuan and these people, it seemed they were not on good terms with Li Shaowu.

"What is going on?" Wu Chuqi walked over.

"Brother Wu." Li Qingyuan said with a bitter Smile:

"Chen Yan kicked and broke Zhang Qingsi's leg in the Xuyang District, and Li Shaowu is waiting for Chen Yan to come out."

"Chen Yan hasn't come out yet?" Wu Chuqi was Stun, Chen Yan had been inside for quite a long time.

"Yes, he hasn't come out yet." Li Qingyuan shook his head; he was here to prevent Li Shaowu from taking action against Chen Yan.

In Li Qingyuan's heart, Li Shaowu was already on the opposite side from them, and since Chen Yan had a conflict with Li Shaowu, he would naturally group together with them.

"Li Shaowu..." Wu Chuqi looked at Zhuang Xihang beside him:

"Principal Zhuang, unless both parties agree, private fighting is not allowed in the True Martial Class, right?"

Zhuang Xihang gave a faint Smile:

"That is correct."

Chen Yan was Wang Yang's student, so Zhuang Xihang naturally would not let Chen Yan suffer a loss, not to mention that Luo Puxin was also there.

"It was Chen Yan who kicked and broke Zhang Qingsi's leg first!"

Li Shaowu, who had not spoken until now, let out a low shout, the fierce expression in his eyes intensifying.

"That will have to wait until Chen Yan comes out," Zhuang Xihang warned. Li Shaowu did not speak.

"Li Shaowu, Zhang Qingsi snatched Chen Yan's spot in the True Martial Class; he is a Waste to begin with."

Before Wu Chuqi could speak, Wu Chuhua laughed:

"You stay with a Waste, be careful that you don't become a Waste yourself."

Li Shaowu's expression turned vicious, and he looked at Wu Chuhua coldly.

"Calm down." Wu Chuqi said with a genial Smile:

"My brother usually speaks quite bluntly, so he is a bit asking for a beating. Zhang Qingsi is not a Waste, and neither are you."

Hiss...

To the side, Li Shaowu took a deep breath; Wu Chuqi's words were even more unpleasant, but he endured it.

Seeing that Li Shaowu still did not leave, Wu Chuqi Frown and left directly.

The True Martial Class had only just started, and there were already various conflicts; he did not want to participate.

He wanted to become stronger, so he could not be disturbed by various conflicts.

"Brother, what do you think will happen to Chen Yan?" Wu Chuhua asked.

"Nothing much," Wu Chuqi said quietly:

"Other people's affairs have nothing to do with us. With Chu Xuansheng above us, is it useful for you to care about Li Shaowu and these things?"

What could be said, he would say, which could be considered helping others, but if asked to participate, he would not go; it was a waste of time.

Time passed slowly.

By nightfall, the students waiting in the Xuyang District left one by one.

"What is going on? Chen Yan still hasn't come down."

"It has already been a day, right? Chen Yan hasn't even eaten."

"Forget it, let's not wait. Maybe he encountered an accident."

…………

As everyone spoke, Li Shaowu's expression became increasingly ugly.

He did not want to waste time; he only wanted Chen Yan to kneel before him, or for the other party to agree to a spar so he could break one of Chen Yan's legs to give Zhang Ge an explanation.

This was a matter of cost and return—small cost, high return.

But now, he had wasted half a day.

At this moment, Zhuang Xihang was also a bit nervous; Chen Yan had gone in at eight in the morning, and it was already eleven at night.

Surely nothing had actually happened, right?

"How was the students' performance in the Xuyang District today?"

A man's voice rang out, and Luo Puxin, the Principal of the First High School, and Chu Feiyuan walked over.

Zhuang Xihang responded:

"Second Place Liu Zong killed an Ancient Beast worth thirty-seven points today. Third Place Zhuo Qingren and Fourth Place Tan Qi did not come, and Fifth Place Lü Chong killed an Ancient Beast worth thirty-one points."

As he spoke, Zhuang Xihang handed two reports to Luo Puxin and the Principal of the First High School simultaneously.

Luo Puxin glanced at Li Shaowu to the side and Frown slightly; he knew about Chen Yan breaking Zhang Qingsi's leg.

No desire to care.

It is a good thing for Chen Yan to have more opponents now.

Chen Yan has strong talent in Horizontal Refinement, and Luo Puxin feels that by the time the True Martial Class ends, Chen Yan will be enough to break into the top three, or even first.

First...

Chu Xuansheng.

Luo Puxin narrows his eyes; Chu Xuansheng has never come to the True Martial Class, as the other party has better resources in the Chu Family.

"These few seedlings are all quite good; perhaps we can sign a Contract with the Gong Family or the Chu Family in advance."

The Principal of First High School laughs softly, very satisfied, and looks at Chu Feiyuan:

"Storage Elder Teacher, which one does your Chu Family intend to sign?"

As for the Martial Officer, does the Martial Officer pick Heavenly Pride?

The Principal of Yigao looks at Luo Puxin, who seems to have never shown anything.

Chu Feiyuan smiles without answering; the Chu Family actually already has plans, but now the priority is to sign Chen Yan first.

"Huh, Chen Yan has already been inside for fourteen hours." Chu Feiyuan speaks in surprise.

"Indeed, there has been no sound coming from there." Zhuang Xihang also has some anxiety in his eyes:

"The walkie-talkie's location has been moving."

Zhuang Xihang says somewhat nervously:

"Should I go find him?"

Chu Feiyuan and the Principal of First High School nod.

"No need."

Luo Puxin says indifferently:

"Entering the Xuyang District is every student's choice; whether to act according to one's ability and grow strong slowly, or to transcend the Limit and challenge life and death, is a choice they make themselves."

Luo Puxin looks at the many students:

"Entering the Xuyang District involves life and death; consider it yourselves."

All the students are stunned, nod, and become even more cautious in their hearts.

Luo Puxin leaves, the Principal of Second High School arrives, and walks slowly with Chu Feiyuan.

"The Family Head said you were going to sign Chen Yan yesterday, why haven't you signed him yet?

Be careful of being poached by the Martial Officer."

Chu Feiyuan gives a faint laugh:

"No rush, didn't you see that Luo Puxin doesn't care about Chen Yan's life or death at all?"

He wanted to sign him yesterday, but who knew Chen Yan's Awakening would be so difficult, not giving him a chance to speak.

The Principal of Second High School, Chu Li, frowns:

"Think it over yourself, but as the Family Head instructed, the sooner the better.

Also, you tampering in the Blood-Sniffing Room for Chen Yan was very low-level, extremely low-level.

If Chen Yan Awakens later, he will definitely discover your actions at that time."

Chu Feiyuan nods:

"I indeed didn't handle that well, but that kid has already had a Qi Awakening Failure once; it is basically impossible for him to awaken."

…………

Xuyang District.

Boom!

One punch kills a Qing Cat.

This is not the first Qing Cat, but the third.

Chen Yan removes the Fake Eyes marked 21 from the Qing Cat and lies on the ground, panting heavily.

Tired, tired to the extreme.

【Po Sheng Realm: Level 3 (60/75)】

【Sacred Fruit:

Force: (78/100)

Blood: (38/100)

Technique: (21/100)

Body: (5/100)】

Two Body Character Po Sheng Fruit and one Ji Character Fruit entered his stomach; this is the harvest brought by Chen Yan's constant attacks on Ancient Beasts.

On his chest, five substantial Grain Marks have completely solidified.

Two Force Patterns, and one Grain Mark each for Tendon, Bone, and Skin!

On the Martial Merit Card, the text in the task column for Chen Yan's Cultivation Technique has changed again; Chen Yan has completed the task and already obtained two hundred Martial Merit Points.

Chen Yan now has a total of four hundred and fifty Martial Merit Points.

The Breathing Method has not advanced, but the External Refining Martial Arts 【Red Gang Mysterious Strike Fist】 has already entered the heart.

And the Breathing Method 【Red Gang Casting Body Canon】 has reached a terrifying level.

Entry into Mystery!

Whether it is Horizontal Refinement or SoulRefining, the names for a martial artist's proficiency in a Cultivation Method or Martial Technique are the same.

Entry Level, Entry into Heart, Entry into Mystery, Entry into Micro, Entry into Spirit.

Entry into Micro means having reached one hundred percent proficiency, which is to say, reaching perfection.

As for Entering Spirit, that is an existence beyond perfection.

The Breathing Method having reached the Entering Subtlety stage grants Chen Yan ultra-long standby combat capability, and he can even continue to fight.

"I heard you kicked and broke Zhang Qingsi's leg?"

Luo Puxin's voice rang out; Chen Yan looked over, and Luo Puxin had already arrived at his side.

"Eat, food is critical."

Luo Puxin handed the bag filled with food in his hand to Chen Yan.

"Luo Ge, I don't want to endure it," Chen Yan said in a low voice as he took the food.

Luo Puxin opened his mouth, wanting to say something, then saw the cloth bag Chen Yan used to hold the Fake Eyes.

Holy Crap.

He looked at the Qing Cat corpse to the side, his Pupil trembling.

"Your Red Heart Fist has reached Entering Heart?" Luo Puxin was shocked.

"No," Chen Yan shook his head.

"Oh," Luo Puxin nodded; it would be strange if it had reached Entering Heart, but he was soon even more surprised:

"Then how did you kill this Qing Cat? To be able to kill this kind of existence, you could rank sixth in the True Martial Class."

"The Red Heart Body-Casting Canon has reached Entering Subtlety," Chen Yan smiled.

Luo Puxin stopped speaking.

Chen Yan looked over:

"Luo Ge, my progress is alright, right? I see that others don't have progress as fast as mine."

Luo Puxin still did not speak.

This is bad, his talent is very high.

What is worse is that he himself seems to know it too.

"Luo Ge, I feel that the Martial Officer Department is very strong; at least it won't let the noble families bully people."

Luo Puxin was in Silence for a long while before saying:

"I know what you want to say. If you want to do it, then do it. You..."

"Can I kill people?" Chen Yan looked at Luo Puxin.

Quiet.

Luo Puxin looked as if he were meeting Chen Yan for the first time; he knew Chen Yan could act, and he knew Chen Yan worked very hard.

But he did not know that Chen Yan actually had such killing intent in his heart.

Was it because there was too much killing today, so the baleful aura was heavy?

Or was it that after knowing his own value, he was unwilling to suffer those grievances anymore and wanted to say 'fuck you' to this shitty world.

Luo Puxin's lips trembled slightly.

Such a good child, was he really forced into this state?

Kill!

Go and kill!

"If it is in a battle, kill them. I will come to mediate for you; no need to worry about retaliation. With me here, no one will retaliate against you and your family."

Luo Puxin Stood Up:

"Even if it is a Limit-Breaking Awakening, you don't need to worry about that Chen Min of the Lao City Chen Family. If they make a move against you, I will take you... and run."

Chen Yan smiled.

"Wanting to kill is a good thing," Luo Puxin smiled even more brightly:

"If you didn't want to, I would still want to force you to kill. Also, if you can handle it, I won't intervene.

If you can't handle it, I will come to help you kill."

Luo Puxin left.

He did not know why Chen Yan had become like this, but he knew Chen Yan's true nature.

…………

The next day, Chen Yan did not go down the Mountain.

On the third day, Chen Yan still did not go down the Mountain.

Li Shaowu, who was originally blocking the door at the Xuyang District, stopped blocking it on the third day.

Gao Yuan and other students all did not know where Chen Yan was.

Is he dead?

Many people had this kind of guess.

Or was it that Chen Yan had fled to avoid Li Shaowu.

It went on until the fourth day.

Early morning.

The morning light was brilliant, like the auspicious colors of a blooming flower, like a golden dragon leaping over the sea; the rich, warm light illuminated the entire First Martial High School.

"Chen Yan, have you been on the Mountain these past few days?"

Gao Yuan came to the entrance of the courtyard where Chen Yan was again; this time, he was pleasantly surprised to find Chen Yan in the garden, practicing his Fist Technique.

Chen Yan waved at Gao Yuan, his Pupil gentle, his attitude humble:

"I was just waiting for you to come. I saved some breakfast; please eat with me."

Gao Yuan was Stun; a breakfast of Chen Yan's could be worth quite a bit of money.

"Don't be polite, come on," Chen Yan beckoned; he had heard that Gao Yuan had been very concerned about him these past few days, so he wanted to treat the other person well.

Gao Yuan nodded and rubbed the back of his head in a silly manner.

"Chen Yan, you have to be careful of Li Shaowu."

Gao Yuan looked at Chen Yan; at this moment, Chen Yan was wearing a set of quiet new clothes, and being handsome by nature, he now looked very humble and polite.

"Okay," Chen Yan said with a smile.

Gao Yuan was about to say more, but as he walked closer to Chen Yan, he smelled an indescribable scent of blood.

Perhaps this was not a scent, but a kind of aura.

He looked at Chen Yan again; gentle, a humble gentleman, very handsome.

But feeling it carefully, it was violent, murderous, and fierce.

Holy Crap.

A layer of sweat suddenly seeped out on Gao Yuan's forehead.

Chen Yan just killed someone, right?

Or was it that Chen Yan killed a bunch of Ancient Beasts in the Xuyang District?

After a meal.

Chen Yan and Gao Yuan walked out; he had not yet exchanged the Fake Eyes he collected for points.

But there was no rush.

He had heard about Li Shaowu's situation.

"Chen Yan!"

"Kneel down for me!"

Li Shaowu walked over from a distance; having heard that Chen Yan had appeared, he arrived with Zhang Qingsi, who was leaning on a crutch, his face fierce.

All around, the passing students also noticed Chen Yan and Li Shaowu.

Chen Yan looked at Li Shaowu:

"Kill me, and I will kneel for you."

Chen Yan smiled very gently:

"Come and kill me."

Li Shaowu was stunned; Chen Yan was actually this direct.

Too direct.

It was as if the other party appearing here was just to wait for him to arrive.

The other party was laughing, as if saying.

Come and kill me, I am very easy to kill.

For some reason, Li Shaowu felt a bit of panic in his heart; he looked at Zhang Qingsi beside him, then spoke to Chen Yan:

"The True Martial Class does not allow killing."

"Then beat me until I'm crippled; I am very easy to beat until I'm crippled," Chen Yan smiled even more gently.

There was an uproar.

Li Shaowu stiffened again; he looked at Chen Yan for a long time, but then suddenly laughed:

"Hahahaha!"

………………

Chen Yan was going to battle Li Shaowu.

This matter spread rapidly within the True Martial Class.

It was right on the Playground.

Li Shaowu and Chen Yan stood facing each other, with students standing all around.

This was a battle between the top twenty; they absolutely had to watch, it was very precious.

"Chen Yan, I suggest you think about it again."

Li Qingyuan spoke with a Frown; he also did not expect Chen Yan to be so direct. Could it be that his strength had greatly increased recently?

But Li Shaowu was not simple.

Chen Yan gave Li Qingyuan a gentle smile and spoke:

"Thank you."

There were not many people who were good to him, and he would cherish it.

"Brother Li, Chen Yan doesn't give you face, why bother dealing with him?"

Beside him, a student spoke with dissatisfaction.

Li Qingyuan shook his head:

"It's not about not giving face; if my presence interferes with him, then I am not helping him. He is being very polite."

Li Qingyuan was Frowning, still feeling puzzled in his heart:

"However, the person he is going to battle is not simple."

Soon, a teacher arrived.

"Chen Yan, you need to think it through."

Chu Feiyuan looked at Chen Yan; he was still holding the Contract for Chen Yan to sign. If Chen Yan was beaten until he was crippled, would this Contract still be signed?

"I've thought it through," Chen Yan nodded.

Chu Feiyuan Frowned slightly; he had already warned him, and then he introduced the rules.

After introducing the rules, Chu Feiyuan looked at Luo Puxin, the Yigao Principal, and the others again.

No one intervened.

It seemed none of them cared about Chen Yan.

Opposite Chen Yan, the Mu Guang of Li Shaowu grew increasingly grave.

He could see that Chen Yan was not normal.

The other party appeared gentle, but the feeling he gave was like a powder keg ready to explode at any moment, harboring endless violence.

Within the crowd, Zhang Qingsi stared fixedly at Chen Yan, Anger surging.

"Begin!" Chu Feiyuan spoke.

Li Shaowu lowered his body slightly, circulating his Qi Blood Cultivation Technique.

"Chen Yan, I will not hold back."

He spoke quietly; since they were to fight, he would bring out his full strength.

He did not want to underestimate the other party.

As for the opposite side...

Boom!

A booming sound suddenly rang out, and the turf of the lawn was sent into Flight by Chen Yan's terrifying, vigorous force.

Fast!

Fast to the extreme!

Chen Yan was like a Fierce Beast, charging toward Li Shaowu at this moment without regard for anything.

Li Shaowu's Mu Jin turned to astonishment in an instant; he took a deep breath, and a Red Glow of SoulRefining appeared between his Fists as he struck toward Chen Yan.

Boom!

The two Fists collided!

Clang!

A series of Bone cracking sounds instantly rang out from Li Shaowu's fist!

"Chen Yan!"

Chu Feiyuan shouted, not expecting Chen Yan to suddenly be able to erupt with such powerful force.

"Ah!!!"

A scream rang out, and Li Shaowu clutched his fist in Howling.

Yet Chen Yan's Mu Guang was fierce, a Smile lingering on the corners of his Mouth, and his fist was raised once more, smashing toward Li Shaowu's Shoulder with a momentum that could crush anything.

Crack!

Another Bone cracking sound.

Chen Yan smashed again, striking Li Shaowu's arm with a fist.

Crack!

A kick with both legs.

Clang!

"Ahhhhh!!!!"

The Howling continued to ring out, sweeping through everyone's Brain like a flood.

Terrifying, terrifying!

What on earth were they seeing!

"I don't..." Li Shaowu's Frost Mo turned to Scream in an instant; he shouted and yelled, having completely lost his will to fight by now.

Pfft!

Chen Yan covered the other party's Mouth with his left hand, pinned Li Shaowu beneath him fiercely, and smashed his fist down again.

Bang!

One fist smashed into the other party's Forehead, and Li Shaowu's Frost Mo instantly bled.

Bang, bang, bang!

Smash again!

"Didn't you want me to kneel?"

Chen Yan's eyes were filled with the Anger of a beast, his two Fists pounding down.

"Is that it?!"

Bang, bang, bang!

He smashed down with fist after fist, Li Shaowu's Forehead caved in, and blood flowed from his seven orifices.

He wore a Smile, devoid of madness, yet he was doing something more insane than anyone else.

Both Fists were stained with blood.

To the side, some female students were dizzy with fright, while the remaining students were so terrified by this scene that their Mu Guang turned Stun, not daring to speak for fear that Chen Yan would charge at them.

Thump!

Zhang Qingsi collapsed to the ground, mouth agape.

That was Li Shaowu.

How could he have been defeated?!
