Chapter 51: Things Are Not Developing Right

Is it difficult to break through one's limit?

It is difficult, yet it is not.

But if one can break through their limit several times in a single day, that is monstrous.

Such a person is rare in this world.

Gong Tuo looked at Chen Yan with a grave expression; according to what Gong Hangwen said, he was definitely going to sign Chen Yan.

Chen Yan and this Gong Family Contract were merely tools used to beat the Chu Family into submission.

As for whether this tool would be hated by the Chu Family, or whether it would be harmed.

They did not care.

They were just people from the bottom.

But now, this Chen Yan had revealed something extraordinary before him.

This required careful consideration.

Following Gong Tuo's reprimand, Chu Feiyuan quieted down; he followed the other's gaze and his mouth fell open.

The other party was looking at Chen Yan.

What was there to look at with Chen Yan?

The guy was practically dying just practicing the Eight Extreme Refinement Forms.

Yet, the other party wouldn't even spare a glance for Liu Zong, but placed such importance on Chen Yan.

Why?

Chu Feiyuan frowned deeply; he could not understand it.

………………

At the same time.

"Zhang Qingsi, this is Li Shaowu's brother; why did you bring him to the True Martial Class?"

Beside the Dormitory Building, Li Qingyuan and his group, who were about to head to the Xuyang District, blocked Zhang Qingsi and another Black-Clothed Man.

"Chen Yan beat my brother into that state, and your True Martial Class doesn't have a single word to say about it?!"

The Black-Clothed Man spoke with a gloomy face; Li Shaowu had almost been beaten to death!

"Then you should blame Zhang Qingsi for insisting that Li Shaowu help him bully Chen Yan," Gao Yuan said in a low voice from within the crowd.

"Exactly, it was Zhang Qingsi who was being unreasonable first!"

"Li Shaowu was acting crazy himself and was used by Zhang Qingsi."

"Chen Yan's duel with Li Shaowu was witnessed by the True Martial Class teachers."

The students gossiped; they were definitely going to help Chen Yan.

What did Chen Yan do wrong?

Isn't it just that you all like to bully people?

Chen Yan fought back, and they felt satisfied in their hearts!

Zhang Qingsi's face turned ugly; he hadn't expected his popularity to be this poor.

As for the Black-Clothed Man, he also looked at Zhang Qingsi with a cold face:

"Where is Chen Yan? Take me to find him. No matter what, there must be an explanation!"

Zhang Qingsi hurriedly said:

"He's in the Henglian Room; someone saw him go there this morning."

The Black-Clothed Man nodded and bypassed the crowd.

Li Qingyuan frowned.

"Brother Li, we..."

"Follow!" Li Qingyuan said. He was unwilling to sit by and watch others get bullied.

Especially since Chen Yan had rejected the Gong Family Contract yesterday; he admired him greatly!

Yu Zhiwen and the others followed silently.

…………

Boom!

Boom, boom, boom!

Inside the Henglian Room, Chen Yan struck out with fist after fist.

Within his body, it was as if a furnace were burning; as he continuously performed the next form, Chen Yan's strength seemed exhausted, yet he swung his fists like thunder.

The Eight Extreme Refinement Forms, like thunder, like wind, like fire, like water.

The body is like a furnace, the movement technique like a hurricane, the punches like thunder, the leg strikes like waves!

Fast and fierce!

Sweat almost overflowed his eyes, and the SoulRefining within his heart was squeezed to a brand-new level.

Upon his body, it was as if he were carrying a Giant Mountain.

But it was precisely because of this: I carry the Giant Mountain, and my strikes are also the Giant Mountain.

I wave my hand and the Giant Mountain is like thunder; I execute my moves with towering fearlessness.

Continuously practicing, continuously breaking through his limits, Chen Yan's understanding of the Eight Extreme Refinement Forms grew ever more profound.

Two Ji Character Fruits, three Body Character Po Sheng Fruits, and three Force Array Po Sheng Fruits were consumed one by one.

Breaking through the limit beyond the limit, it was as if waves of power appeared again just as Chen Yan was about to collapse.

At this moment, he seemed to have truly entered a brand-new Cultivation Realm.

No self, no others, no such world, no such time.

Recalling the scene of defeating the Qing Cat that day, and the scene of defeating Li Shaowu, Chen Yan savored the memory in detail.

Patta!

Beside him, the youth named Lv Chong sat down on the ground with a thud, looking at Chen Yan in shock.

Chen Yan truly had not rested again.

Did he not have nerves, and would he not feel tired?

Outside the Classroom, Gong Tuo stared at Chen Yan, a smile appearing in his eyes.

He had discovered a Heavenly Pride.

On the other side, Chu Feiyuan's face was ashen.

He knew why Gong Tuo valued Chen Yan.

It was also at this moment.

Zhang Qingsi and Li Shaowu's Elder Brother arrived, and Li Qingyuan and the others also followed behind.

"Chen..." Zhang Qingsi was just about to speak.

But he suddenly paused; he saw that the man in the suit and leather shoes was currently looking at him with cold eyes.

He immediately dared not speak; no matter how stupid he was, he knew this person was not simple.

As for Li Shaowu's Elder Brother, after sensing the Aura on Gong Tuo's body, his Pupils also shrank.

Daring not to speak, the group of people stood guard outside the Henglian Room, watching inside.

Yet Chen Yan remained within his own world, throwing a Fist, throwing a Fist, throwing Fists continuously!

Boom—!

Suddenly, a grand sound seemed to resonate within his Brain.

"Cultivating my method, why bother cultivating SoulRefining?!"

That voice was questioning, that voice was chiding.

"SoulRefining, what kind of trash is it?

Why cultivate it? Specialize in Horizontal Refinement to reach the Limit of the Flesh, and I will give you Origin essence!"

This voice roared like Thunder; Chen Yan was Stun, he heard it very clearly, it was resounding in his own Brain, definitely not from the Outer Realm.

Who was talking to him?

His Pupils locked onto that Wuji Bei; that was the Origin Stele of the 【Eight Styles of Extreme Refinement】.

Chen Yan continued to throw Fists.

He wanted to cultivate SoulRefining; you, Lu Xunyang, are very powerful, the Qinzhou Chief, I have heard your story.

You do not cultivate SoulRefining because you cannot cultivate it.

I can cultivate it, so of course I must cultivate it.

You want the Limit of Horizontal Refinement, I want the dual limits of SoulRefining and Horizontal Refinement!

Your Dao is very grand, I admire it very much, and I am like a bug before you.

But!

I am me, and I will not necessarily walk a shorter path than you!

Whoosh!

A streak of white light emerged from the Wuji Bei and submerged into Chen Yan's body.

Within the Po Sheng Realm, endless Golden Light suddenly emerged, pouring onto the Holy Tree.

Chen Yan stopped his movements.

Clap, clap, clap!

"Not bad, very not bad!"

Gong Tuo clapped as he entered the Classroom, full of a Smile:

"Seven times breaking the Limit, and you received the Ben Yuan Guan Gu from the Origin Stele."

At this time, the crowd watching outside the Henglian Room was also in Silence for a moment.

What does that mean?

Seven times breaking the Limit?

Zhang Qingsi was still in a daze, but Li Shaowu's Elder Brother's Pupils suddenly shrank, looking at Chen Yan in disbelief.

Li Qingyuan and the other students were full of shock.

They also had not expected to see such a scene.

Seven times breaking the Limit, is this damn thing human?

"It is nine times!"

At this time, Lin Principal of the First High School spoke, saying in shock.

Gong Tuo was slightly Stun, and it took him a good while to recover; he looked at Chen Yan:

"Others all say you are a Horizontal Refinement Prodigy, but I don't think so; it is very difficult for you to cultivate the Eight Styles of Extreme Refinement.

But your will can far make up for the gap between yourself and the Heavenly Pride!"

Chen Yan did not speak, and only then did Gong Tuo smile:

"I am from the City Martial Officer, the Deputy Instructor for this True Martial Class, Gong Tuo."

As Gong Tuo's voice fell, Zhang Qingsi, the Black-Clothed Man, Li Qingyuan, and the other students all revealed astonishment.

City Martial Officer, Deputy Instructor, and the surname is Gong!

This person definitely has a great background.

Li Shaowu's Elder Brother's face twitched at this moment, and he left directly.

"Brother Li, you..." Zhang Qingsi asked hurriedly.

"Zhang Qingsi, go back and tell your father that my younger brother is withdrawing from your Martial Arts Hall from now on; you can handle the matter between you and Chen Yan yourselves.

Also, I am not returning the money you gave my brother; that is what you should have paid!"

The Black-Clothed Man left.

He would have to be sick to set himself against Chen Yan.

A person with such strong willpower is terrifying; if he is ruthless to himself, what about to others?

Li Shaowu was almost beaten to death, yet didn't he still survive?

He left; he would not care anymore.

Zhang Qingsi looked dazed, his heart sinking to the bottom of the valley at this moment.

To the side, Li Qingyuan and the others were all looking at Zhang Qingsi with extreme contempt.

Waste!

A pure waste!

Anyone could understand Chen Yan's prowess, so why couldn't he?

As for inside the Henglian Room.

Gong Tuo had already offered the Gong Family Contract.

The surroundings were astonished; Chu Feiyuan stood dazed on the spot, breathing with difficulty.

He just gave it away?

This was the Gong Family Contract!

The next moment, Chen Yan refused.

No one spoke; they did not understand why Chen Yan made such a choice.

After a moment of shock, Chu Feiyuan was even more stunned.

"You signed the Chu Family Contract?" Gong Tuo spoke in a cold voice, looking coldly at Chu Feiyuan at this moment:

"The Chu Family Contract cannot compare to my Gong Family's!"

Chu Feiyuan felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar.

Chen Yan shook his head and refused again.

Gong Tuo frowned, watching Chen Yan's back without saying a word.

Why refuse?

"Chen Yan, have you joined the Martial Officer?" Gong Tuo asked.

Whoosh!

Everyone was shocked.

Chen Yan shook his head; he hadn't joined yet.

But he could not sign contracts from other families; if he signed, how could he answer to Luo Puxin?

A steamed bun during times of poverty is more precious than a piece of gold during times of prosperity.

He, Chen Yan, was not a shameless person.

Moreover, the Gong Family's contract was just so-so compared to the Tianjiao Cultivation of the Military Martial Guard.

Everyone watched Chen Yan leave, and no one spoke.

Li Qingyuan sighed softly; Chen Yan had become even stronger.

And he had even refused the Gong Family Contract.

He felt moved in his heart; Chen Yan had done what he could not do.

Suddenly.

Inside the Henglian Room, Lv Chong spoke in terror:

"Something is wrong, something is wrong, why has the Eight Styles of Extreme Refinement suddenly become hard to learn?!"

Zhuang Xihang, who had not spoken the whole time, said with a face full of Xi Shu:

"The Origin Stele gave Chen Yan a Sudden Enlightenment, the Origin has decreased, so of course it is difficult for you to learn.

And..."

Zhuang Xihang looked at the dazed Lv Chong and continued:

"And if Chen Yan continues to learn, it will only become increasingly difficult for you to learn."

Lv Chong's face turned deathly pale.

…………

That night.

Chen Yan walked out of the First Martial High School.

Within the Po Sheng Realm, the Artistic Energy poured by the Wuji Bei remained vast.

After the Cultivation Technique ended, Chen Yan had already consumed four Technique Character Fruits, five Strength Character Po Sheng Fruits, and seven Body Character fruits throughout the afternoon!

On his chest were five Force Patterns, and three each on his Tendon, Bone, and Skin!

A full fourteen Extreme Satin Patterns!

The Eight Styles of Extreme Refinement, mastered in one day!

The true meaning of the Eight Styles of Extreme Refinement is not Horizontal Refinement, but the Limit.

The words the Wuji Bei said to him were actually misleading him.

If Chen Yan had abandoned his SoulRefining for the sake of the Origin essence, he would not have received the Sudden Enlightenment.

A smile appeared on the corner of Chen Yan's mouth.

Walking through the dark night, he took out the Martial Merit Card from his pocket.

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

Please click to accept the mission one day in advance.】

This was an Optional Mission that Chen Yan had not originally paid attention to.

But the incident with Zhou Lu yesterday had a huge impact on him.

He did not want to end up like Zhou Lu; he wanted to be strong, he wanted the surrounding area to be peaceful, and for his father and sister to be safe.

Chen Yan had already clicked on this mission yesterday.

At this moment, clicking it again, the text and map appeared on the Martial Merit Card.

【Wang Lu: Late stage of the Five Viscera Realm in SoulRefining, fifteen subordinates, two of whom are in the initial stage of the Five Viscera Realm in SoulRefining.

Action Suggestion 1: Pretend to be a villager passing by, at...

Action Suggestion 2: Purchase ingredients for poisoned water...

Failed Escape Plan:...】

Chen Yan took a simple look at the plan, then looked at the map, his figure flashed, and he instantly disappeared into the Darkness.

…………

At the same time.

"I want to file a complaint!"

Inside a hotel room in Luoshan County, a Woman wearing a red T-shirt spoke:

"Your Military Martial Guard's Tianjiao Cultivation is simply unfair!"

A girl named Li Yiyi spoke with dissatisfaction:

"I had already chosen this mission and had been lying in ambush for a day, but you ended up giving the mission to someone else!"

On the room's sofa, a Black-Clothed Man and a Black-Clothed Woman looked weary; they were the Fu Zhi Ren Yuan who had previously assessed Chen Yan's killing of Ye Secretary.

Although the Black-Clothed Woman was exhausted, she still spoke gently:

"It is like this: this Chen Yan has a very high priority within the Tianjiao Cultivation program, so even if he accepted the mission later, as long as you haven't completed it yet, he can take it if he wants to."

Li Yiyi Frown:

"Higher than me?"

"Yes." The Black-Clothed Woman Laughter.

"Chen Yan, he isn't in the top Thirty of the Tianjiao Ranking, I remember that very clearly!" Li Yiyi was even more surprised.

"Right, he isn't." The Black-Clothed Woman nodded.

The Black-Clothed Man said with emotion: "Not only is he not, but he has also just entered the Martial Dao.

The reason we revealed his information to you is because he is basically the same as you, internally selected to enter the Military Martial Guard.

You will be comrades-in-arms in the future."

Li Yiyi was even more surprised:

"He's using connections? Isn't it said that Vice Chief Shen is very fair?"

"He didn't use any." The Black-Clothed Woman was in Silence for a while, then said:

"He is that type of high-IQ talent, do you understand? High-IQ."

Recalling the process of Chen Yan killing Ye Yong that day, the Black-Clothed Woman reached this judgment.

"High-IQ talent?" Li Yiyi's brows relaxed:

"So that's how it is."

She understood a little; no wonder the Military Martial Guard would give Chen Yan a mission to kill someone in the late stage of the Five Viscera Realm just after he had entered the Martial Dao.

A high-IQ talent, killing with poison, killing with disguise, building Ji Xian to kill, or using cunning schemes to kill?

It feels like he's very impressive.

It was also at this moment.

The Martial Merit Cards of the two flashed; the Black-Clothed Man and Woman looked at each other, and looked at the other in Silence.

"I knew it, the timing wouldn't be normal." The man complained and Stood Up:

"Li Yiyi, we have to go supervise Chen Yan, you should leave on your own."

Li Yiyi nodded, but soon spoke:

"Take me with you, I'm going too!"

The Black-Clothed Man and Woman Frown, but they saw Li Yiyi say:

"A high-IQ talent, this is my first time seeing one. Please, I'm going to learn how to use intelligence to defeat someone stronger."

The Black-Clothed Woman nodded:

"Fine, but I will inform Vice Chief Shen."

"Okay." Li Yiyi Laughter.

The three left quickly; Li Yiyi was in the late stage of the Five Viscera Realm, and the Black-Clothed Man and Woman were even in the Hundred Meridians realm, and the hotel's location was very close to the operation site.

When they arrived at a dark spot to crouch and watch, Chen Yan had not yet arrived.

At this time, opposite them was a two-story building constructed within the Tian Ye, and there were people talking inside.

"Speaking of which, damn it, someone is snatching our orders."

"Son of a bitch, if I run into him, I'll definitely hack him to death."

"I heard that more than Thirty young men and women have already gone missing in the neighboring Xian this year; I even suspect it's one of us doing private work."

…………

Li Yiyi and the Black-Clothed Man and Woman were crouching in a pile of Herb across from the courtyard.

"Has he not arrived yet?" Li Yiyi asked.

"Keep your voice down, he should have arrived already, but this Chen Yan has extremely high-level methods, perhaps his technique is special!" the Black-Clothed Man whispered.

He had a deep memory of the technique Chen Yan used to kill Ye Yong back then.

Using ice to kill, brilliant.

"I made a plan for him to pose as a villager and infiltrate the interior; I don't know if he will adopt it," the Black-Clothed Woman said, laughing.

As for suggestions, she wrote a complete plan based on her own experience; if Chen Yan adopted it, there would certainly be differences, and she wanted to see what those differences would be.

"I made a plan for him to commit murder with poisoned water," the Black-Clothed Man said with a faint laugh.

Li Yiyi listened with a very serious face.

Anticipation!

She used to be very crude, so she always suffered losses.

Today she could learn properly.

Just at this moment, a lean figure appeared from the Darkness and walked swaggeringly to the front of the Xiao Yuan.

"That is Chen Yan," the Black-Clothed Woman said in an extremely small voice, but immediately Frown.

Just walking over so directly and clearly?

"He is observing the terrain, did you forget last time?!" the Black-Clothed Man said.

Li Yiyi became even more serious; she must learn well.

And Chen Yan had already arrived at the courtyard gate at this moment.

Knock, knock, knock.

He was knocking on the door.

"He's just going in directly!" Li Yiyi opened her Mouth wide, that's not right.

"Learn well, Chen Yan has only just entered the Martial Dao, his strength is not high; him going in directly isn't seeking death, he must have a method!" the Black-Clothed Man laughed, he was also looking forward to it.

Chen Yan's routine was just different.

Just at this moment.

Inside the Xiao Yuan, a crude male voice appeared.

"Damn it, who is it, coming to knock on the door at two in the morning!"

A tall man opened the courtyard gate and saw a handsome Youth standing in front of the gate smiling at him.

"What are you doing, who told you to come?" the tall man looked at Chen Yan indifferently.

At this time, in the haystacks, Li Yiyi and the other two held their breath; they were thinking about what Chen Yan would say next to confuse the enemy.

"I came to kill you all." Chen Yan smiled, his voice clear, making people's Brain feel dizzy.

"Huh?" the tall man Frown, he hadn't heard clearly.

Inside the haystacks, Li Yiyi and the other two Frown; they hadn't heard clearly either.

"I said..."

Chen Yan's Laughter grew even more.

Suddenly!

Boom!

A red aura appeared, the speed of the Fist was so fast that people couldn't see it at all.

The next instant.

Bang!

The tall man's Brain exploded instantly like a watermelon.

Dead.

"I came to kill you all."

Chen Yan's Laughter faded, he kicked the tall man's Corpse away with his Foot and walked into the courtyard.

He had killed someone.

The first time killing someone so straightforwardly, why was this rushing blood so disgusting?

A light punch could blow someone's Brain apart, he was so strong!

Chen Yan breathed deeply, and a mouthful of red mist was exhaled.

His strength had increased greatly these past few days, and he wanted to test his current combat power.

Moreover, there were Fu Zhi Ren Yuan supervising, who could protect him.

Such an opportunity was hard to come by.

Very quickly.

"Bastard!"

"Someone is breaking in!"

"Get your weapons!!!"

Inside the Xiao Yuan, there was an instant sound of smashing and Screaming.

Outside the Xiao Yuan, the Black-Clothed Man and Woman had their brows raised high, frozen just like that.

Li Yiyi pursed her red lips, not knowing what to say.

The way things developed...

That's not right, is it?
