Chapter 49: If you won't sign with my Chu family, do you really think the Gong family will sign you?

Inside the Cultivation Room.

Boom, boom, boom!

Blood-red Gang Wind swirled around Chen Yan's fist, its momentum majestic, as if it would shred everything to pieces.

"Does this Chu Feiyuan still not understand..."

Chen Yan's Mu Jin flared with irritation, and he suddenly threw out a punch.

Boom!

It was as if ten thousand tons of thunder had exploded; the surging Red Heart energy suddenly reversed, and as Chen Yan threw his punch, it swept out, raging across the entire Qing Shi Qiang Bi.

Sss, sss, sss...

It sounded as if countless iron spikes were cutting through metal, a clanging sound ringing out incessantly.

"I am here to kill him!"

A cold light flashed in the depths of Chen Yan's Mu Jin, and he withdrew his fist.

So strong!

The Entry-Mystical Grade 【Red Heart Fist】 was enough for Chen Yan to shatter a Classroom with a single punch.

He was bare-chested, covered in countless scars, and there were some wounds that had not yet scarred over, with raw Flesh exposed.

On his chest, three and a half Force Patterns, two Skin Patterns, two Bone Patterns, and two Tendon Patterns were clearly visible.

This was the result of Chen Yan's constant slaughter in the Xuyang District over the past few days.

Taking out a kitchen Knife he had brought from the Chu Fang, Chen Yan first lightly wiped it against his skin; there was no mark.

Chen Yan's Mu Jin shifted.

With a bang, he used twenty percent of his strength to hack the Knife against his arm.

It didn't hurt; there was only a Shallow Pattern on Chen Yan's arm.

Continue!

Fifty percent strength!

A white mark appeared on his arm, and the kitchen Knife's edge rolled.

Chen Yan stopped trying; his current physical strength had reached a new level.

Very good.

【Po Saint Realm: Level 3 (72/75)】

【Sacred Fruit:

Force: (24/100)

Blood: (76/100)

Technique: (32/100)

Body: (23/100)】

The Sacred Tree is almost ready to level up again.

Chen Yan felt his heart, where Min Zhe Qi Xue danced wildly and Cold Intent blossomed.

Although he hadn't gone to the Blood-Sniffing Room these past few days, Chen Yan would practice the 【Chaos Abyss Art】 at night, and his mastery of Min Zhe Qi Xue was becoming increasingly profound.

His Heart Casting Degree had already reached fifty-five percent.

Not much.

But Min Zhe Qi Xue was different from the average person's energy; it was of an ultra-high quality.

His fifty-five percent Casting Degree was perhaps even more powerful than someone else's eighty percent.

What's more, Chen Yan's primary goal was not to increase his Casting Degree.

Chen Yan reached out one hand, and a wisp of red and white energy light appeared between his Fingers.

As for the originally pure white Min Zhe Qi Xue, Chen Yan could now strip away most of the external energy, at least enough to contain a great deal of the Cold Intent he released.

Taking out his Martial Merit Card, Chen Yan first looked at the list of missions.

【Optional Mission: Join the Tianbei Fist Tournament and obtain BronzeRank certification; reward: fifty Martial Merit Points.

Tianbei Fist Tournament contact point:...】

【Optional Mission: Kill the Luoshan County bandit Wang Lu; reward: two hundred Martial Merit Points.

Please click on the mission one day in advance.】

【Cultivation Mission: Condense three new substantial Grain Marks within one week; reward: two hundred Martial Merit Points. (2/7)】

【Cultivation Mission: Reach a Heart Casting Degree of Five Percent within one month; reward: five hundred Martial Merit Points. (2/30)】

【Cultivation Mission: Kill one First-Rank Ancient Beast; reward: ten Martial Merit Points.】

For the Optional Mission, Chen Yan planned to take on the Tianbei Fist Tournament.

According to Luo Puxin, the Tianbei Fist Tournament had a massive background, and if one performed well, one could even obtain an Azure Dome Grade Martial Technique.

Chen Yan definitely had to go.

Looking at the Cultivation Missions again, they corresponded to Horizontal Refinement, energy, and combat respectively.

Chen Yan had already obtained four hundred and fifty Martial Merit Points from the Horizontal Refinement missions.

After all, condensing three Grain Marks every week was worth two hundred Martial Merit Points, and Chen Yan had already condensed eight since getting his Martial Merit Card.

He had also obtained fifty Martial Merit Points in the area of energy.

However, the new mission was for his Heart Casting Degree to reach Five Percent...

Chen Yan had heard that even Chu Xuansheng's Casting Degree was only around seventy percent, and ordinary students couldn't continue Casting once they reached forty or fifty percent, forcing them to open up other internal organs.

Chen Yan gave a faint Laughter and didn't care.

As for killing Ancient Beasts, Chen Yan killed quite a few in the Xuyang District.

However, they were not recorded by the Martial Merit Card; according to Luo Puxin, it was because the Ancient Beasts in the Xuyang District had lost their ancient essence.

True Ancient Beasts are powerful, mysterious, and incomparably fierce, with a unique ancient essence carried within their flesh and blood.

Those within the Xuyang District do not count as Ancient Beasts in the true sense.

Chen Yan's current Martial Merit Points have already reached seven hundred.

Even if he were to go perform Observation and Imagination on the 【Hundred Spears Dark Thrust】, he could do so for seven hours.

Outside the Cultivation Room, a sound rang out.

Chen Yan opened the door and saw Luo Puxin sitting on the sofa.

"You have obtained a total of one thousand two hundred and fifteen points these past few days; not bad."

Luo Puxin was smoking a cigarette, looking at Chen Yan with a chuckle.

He was very satisfied with Chen Yan's performance today.

"The Military Martial Guard wants top-tier talent; not only top-tier, but also courage.

You didn't make me choose wrong."

The Tianjiao Cultivation of the Military Martial Guard is not something that a contract from the Chu Family or Gong Family can compare to; what will be paid is only greater cultivation funding.

"Brother Luo, I want to go practice the Extreme Refining Eight Styles."

Chen Yan poured a cup of tea for Luo Puxin and spoke while laughing.

【Extreme Refining Eight Styles】!

It is precisely the Horizontal Refinement External Refining Martial Arts used by that Bronze Statue at Qingshan High School.

Merely a single attacking movement, yet it allowed Chen Yan to benefit immensely.

Even now, as Chen Yan has grown stronger step by step, he still cannot deny the utility of the 【Extreme Refining Eight Styles】.

If a single movement is already like this, what if he truly mastered the whole thing?

More crucially, the 【Extreme Refining Eight Styles】 is a Martial Grade Class A External Refining Method.

Moreover, the True Martial Class has it.

Luo Puxin was stunned; here he goes again.

In the Xuyang District, Chen Yan had already asked him about the 【Extreme Refining Eight Styles】.

Chen Yan wants to learn the 【Extreme Refining Eight Styles】; in fact, all Horizontal Refinement Prodigies want to learn the 【Extreme Refining Eight Styles】.

The True Martial Class has it, but only one person is learning it.

Luo Puxin lit a cigarette and said gloomily:

"The Extreme Refining Eight Styles was created by the Qinzhou Chief Lu Xunyang; Lu Xunyang was born unable to cultivate SoulRefining, which can be called a severed pulse.

Walking the path of Horizontal Refinement was also incomparably difficult; in the end, he used steel needles to pierce into his body, forcibly opening his meridians.

The Extreme Refining Eight Styles he created is only suitable for those born unable to cultivate SoulRefining."

Luo Puxin said earnestly:

"Chen Yan, you can cultivate SoulRefining; practicing the Extreme Refining Eight Styles is doubly difficult, at least three times the difficulty, although the benefits are great."

Luo Puxin was speechless; just the name 【Extreme Refining Eight Styles】 is probably enough to discourage many people.

"I want to try."

Chen Yan laughed.

Today, the 【Red Heart Fist】 entered the realm of subtlety.

He had been wondering if there was a connection between the 【Red Heart Fist】 and that one punch he knew when he first entered Horizontal Refinement.

No.

Yet it seemed there was.

It is the same thing; they should be the same thing.

A type of artistic conception, a type of thing similar to truth.

Is this True Intent?

Chen Yan remembered the white light that appeared within the Po Saint Tree.

He wants to go try the 【Extreme Refining Eight Styles】.

"Fine."

Luo Puxin stopped advising him; Chen Yan's talent is very good, better than his, perhaps he does not need his advice.

…………

It lasted until the afternoon.

Blood-Sniffing Room.

Chen Yan saw Chu Feiyuan once again, and the other party was looking at him with a dark face.

Chen Yan walked into the Blood-Sniffing Room; he now has one thousand two hundred points, and the Blood-Sniffing Room is ten points per hour.

He can cultivate for over one hundred hours.

When Chen Yan walked into the Blood-Sniffing Room, Chu Feiyuan's complexion turned even more livid.

"Add more ingredients for him!"

He looked at the teacher beside him and spoke with a ferocious voice.

"Continue adding; if his meridians become blocked, he won't be able to achieve Awakening of SoulRefining at all."

That teacher spoke, carrying hesitation.

"I told you to go!" Chu Feiyuan's voice grew colder.

That teacher nodded and walked toward the Qi Xue Shi.

"Chen Yan, your talent in the path of Horizontal Refinement is very strong; coming to the Blood-Sniffing Room to attempt Awakening is truly... a bit of a waste of time."

From his seat, Wu Chuqi looked toward Chen Yan with a smile.

"I still want to give it a try." A trace of struggle appeared in Chen Yan's eyes.

"I understand, good luck!" Wu Chuqi offered an encouraging look.

But soon, Wu Chuqi stopped speaking.

He suddenly remembered that Li Shaowu, who had been beaten soundly by Chen Yan, was ranked just above him.

Inside the Blood-Sniffing Room, the other students looked at Chen Yan; some felt admiration, some felt moved, and some were secretly competing in their hearts.

This time, Chen Yan sat at the very back again, in a spot no one noticed.

Sss, sss, sss.

Red mist overflowed from the walls engraved with runes beside him.

The blood-sniffing began.

Chen Yan felt the dense Qi Blood Energy beside him; within the Po Saint Realm, the red light representing Qi Blood and the ink-colored light representing Elemental Energy shone brilliantly upon each other.

The complex Elemental Energy contained within this red mist was even greater.

Chu Feiyuan really holds a grudge.

Chen Yan sighed with emotion.

I thank you.

Withdrawing his cold energy, Chen Yan approached the blue wall, and the Yin Zhe infiltrated inside, passing through the pipes flowing with scorching red mist, arriving at the storage tank soaking the Ancient Beast Meat.

The Ancient Beast Flesh inside was extremely fresh; it was clear it had just been replaced.

Start absorbing!

Terrifying red light surged within the Po Saint Realm, and a 【Blood】 Character Sacred Fruit ripened rapidly.

Swallow it.

The Qi Blood Energy contained in the 【Blood】 Character Sacred Fruit did not bring Chen Yan any discomfort, as if it were something Chen Yan already possessed.

The last time the blood-sniffing was so painful, it was mainly because the Yin Zhe had swallowed the Qi Blood Energy whole and injected it into Chen Yan's heart.

At the same time, the Yin Zhe was also rapidly absorbing the Ice Element Energy and Qi Blood Energy within the storage tank.

So much!

Too much!

Chen Yan focused on the inside of his heart.

The Qi Blood Energy began its Casting.

Fifty-five percent!

Fifty-six!

Fifty-seven!

…………

Fifty-eight!

…………

Sixty-three!

Buzz!

Three 【Blood】 Character Sacred Fruits entered his belly, and the Po Saint Realm leveled up!

【Breaking Saint Realm Level 4 (0/500)】

【Sacred Fruit:

Strength: (26/100)

Blood (0/100)

Technique: (35/100)

Body: (29/100)

Array: (0/100)】

【Array】 Character Sacred Fruit.

Chen Yan's heart stirred, and the next moment he continued to absorb!

Inside his heart, the Casting Degree soared!

Time passed slowly.

………………

Five hours later.

"Chu Feiyuan, you idiot, you moron!!!"

"Since this Chen Yan can defeat Li Shaowu so quickly, he is no ordinary genius."

"You took this Contract to give to him; it would be a miracle if he didn't think you were insulting him!"

"Idiot, moron, my Chu Family actually has trash like you!"

Inside the Chu Family, the White-Haired Elder berated Chu Feiyuan.

Chu Feiyuan, who had originally prepared to accuse Chen Yan to his family, turned deathly pale.

"Such a genius, in the path of Horizontal Refinement, even if he doesn't compare to Xuansheng and Xuanxian, he is still far better than the average person. Get out of my sight!"

The Chu Family Head shouted angrily:

"Continue to sign? You can actually bring out such a low-level Contract?!"

Chu Feiyuan left in a dejected manner, his heart filled with resentment.

However, at this moment, he also understood his own problem.

It was that he had underestimated Chen Yan.

Holding the new Contract, Chu Feiyuan did not return to the First Martial High School until seven in the evening.

Just as he arrived at the Blood-Sniffing Room, Chu Feiyuan saw the Blood-Sniffing teacher with an unpleasant expression.

"Brother Chu, the blood food is not enough again." The Blood-Sniffing teacher spoke, sounding somewhat hesitant.

"Hm?" Chu Feiyuan was stunned, then immediately shouted in a low voice:

"How is that possible? I just replaced the blood food, and you're already saying it's not enough?

You are trying to fool me here!"

Chu Feiyuan's face flushed red; a Chi Xue was not cheap, and he simply did not believe it could be used up so quickly.

Walking to the Qi Xue Shi, he saw the SoulRefining progress bar, and Chu Feiyuan's face suddenly turned to Paleness.

It really wasn't much left.

How did this happen?

Boom!

Outside the Qi Xue Shi, there was suddenly a roar of SoulRefining, and Chu Feiyuan walked over.

He saw a group of people surrounding a Youth whose entire body was glowing with Blood Light.

"Fourth Uncle, I have reached the Four Viscera!"

The Youth named Chu Bizha looked at Chu Feiyuan with joy; he had just walked out of the Blood-Sniffing Room.

"Reached the Four Viscera?!" Chu Feiyuan was stunned, then immediately let out a burst of Laughter:

"Good, good, good!"

Chu Bizha also had a Smile on his face:

"This time in the True Martial Class, I am ranked sixth, but after reaching the Four Viscera, I can make a push for the top five!"

Chu Bizha looked proudly at the crowd, high-spirited after breaking into the Four Viscera today.

"No wonder!"

Chu Feiyuan laughed with emotion:

"I was wondering why the SoulRefining was used up so quickly today; so it was you, kid. What is your Casting Degree?"

"Sixty-five!" Chu Bizha said, and the surroundings were filled with sounds of astonishment.

"Sixty-five, very good, very good indeed!" Chu Feiyuan laughed; the Chu Family had many talents.

To the side, a tall Youth with a handsome Appearance was walking away quickly with a flushed face.

It was about to explode again.

Chen Yan's Mu Guang was strained; he had completely absorbed his fill today.

He had used Yin Zhe to continuously absorb, and his Heart Casting Degree was at one hundred.

Although his Casting Degree would decrease after he went back and circulated the 【Dun Yuan Art】, at this moment, it was absolutely one hundred percent Casting Degree.

The more Chen Yan thought about it, the more urgent he felt; how could it be one hundred?

There really was someone who could reach one hundred Casting Degree.

He had thought of this possibility while absorbing, but he was greedy.

Terrible.

It was going to explode.

"Chen Yan, wait a moment."

Not far away, Chu Feiyuan saw Chen Yan and hurriedly called out to him; seeing Chen Yan's expression, his heart trembled.

He had absorbed too much impure blood!

At this time, the others also looked at Chen Yan, each with their own thoughts.

Most people thought Chu Feiyuan was going to make things difficult for Chen Yan.

"Chen Yan, the issue with this morning's Contract was indeed my fault." Chu Feiyuan showed an apologetic Smile:

"This is the new Contract, take a look."

He handed over the Contract.

Everyone around was stunned; Chu Feiyuan was admitting his mistake!

This...

Chen Yan, however, quickened his Foot steps, not wanting to pay attention to Chu Feiyuan.

"Chen Yan!" Chu Feiyuan called out to stop Chen Yan.

Chen Yan Frown:

"You saw it too; I am very uncomfortable right now."

Chu Feiyuan was stunned; he knew Chen Yan was like this because he had absorbed too much impure blood energy.

"You clearly had a Qi Awakening Failure, yet you insisted on continuing to attempt Awakening!"

To the side, the Chu Family Youth named Chu Bizha shouted in a low voice:

"It is your own problem, why blame my Chu Family?"

Chen Yan narrowed his Pupil, but Chu Feiyuan looked fiercely at Chu Bizha:

"Bizha, shut up!"

Chu Bizha was stunned; Chu Feiyuan was actually reprimanding him.

He had just reached the Four Viscera.

"Chen Yan, this is the Contract, take it back first." Chu Feiyuan handed out the Contract again.

Yet looking across, Chen Yan's Mu Guang became playful and cold:

"Chu Feiyuan, do you not understand?"

Chu Feiyuan was in a Stun, and Chen Yan continued to open his Mouth:

"The reason I am not signing the Contract is actually not because of the content, but because of you!"

If he didn't sign, and he did sign, where would there be so much mixed-blood energy?

I beg you to give a little more.

Chu Feiyuan's Mu Jin became cold:

"Chen Yan, you are too arrogant because of your talent!"

Chen Yan ignored the other party and left alone.

"If you don't sign with my Chu Family, do you really think you still have a chance, that the Gong Family will sign you?"

He shouted out loud:

"The Gong Family only signs prodigies like Chu Xuansheng; do you think you can afford to be so arrogant?!"
