Chapter 54: Chu Xuansheng

Time does not linger; the seasons flow like a stream.

In a flash, five days have passed.

Chen Yan did not go home over the weekend, but after a brief meeting with Sister, he continued to stay at the True Martial Class.

The first three days.

Because of his injuries, Chen Yan had been smelling blood these past few days, and most of the time he spent back in the Cultivation Room was dedicated to practicing the Cultivation Technique and observing that Ancient Divine Beast eye.

The physique of a martial artist on the path of Horizontal Refinement is extremely strong; over these few days, Chen Yan used his points to buy some external medicine and meals that only students in the Priority Zone get to eat.

His injuries have healed seven or eight-tenths.

In the last two days, Chen Yan exchanged for the Hundred Spears Dark Thrust.

He also began restorative training in the path of Horizontal Refinement.

These past few days, several things have happened in the True Martial Class.

The first is that Gong Tuo will be giving a lecture to the True Martial Class Top Ten tomorrow.

An External Forging Ultimate Technique of Dipulse Level D!

Dipulse Level!

This is, after all, Dipulse Level.

Mortal Grade, Superior Grade, Martial Grade, Dipulse...

A Martial Technique of Dipulse Level is something almost never encountered in a Xian-level True Martial Class.

Even the Red Heart Fist is only Martial Grade A.

According to what Luo Puxin said, it was he who set a trap for Gong Tuo, forcing Gong Tuo to bring out a Dipulse Level External Forging Ultimate Technique.

This matter spread the day before yesterday, which led to the second event.

The tenth-ranked student of the True Martial Class, Li Qingyuan, challenged the sixth-ranked Chu Bizha and won by a narrow margin.

Originally, among the students from poor backgrounds, only Li Qingyuan had entered the top ten; now, there is also Chen Yan.

The True Martial Class is greatly narrowing the gap between wealthy and poor students, and those with natural talent will quickly emerge.

The third event, the Chu Family True Dragon Chu Xuansheng, failed his challenge against the twenty-sixth-ranked student on the Yunmeng Talent List.

Although it was a failure, it was still shocking to many.

After all, the fact that he had the qualifications to challenge them was already extremely strong.

【Breaking Saint Realm Level 4 (95/500)】

Taking a look at the data panel for the Po Saint Realm, a trace of a smile appeared on the corner of Chen Yan's mouth.

These past few days, the Holy Tree has produced many fruits.

Seven 【Force】 Character Fruits.

Twenty-three 【Blood】 fruits.

Twenty-two 【Technique】 Character Fruits.

Eight 【Body】 Character Fruits.

And...

Ten 【Array】 Character Fruits!

The 【Blood】 character Sacred Fruit is the most abundant because Chen Yan spent most of his time smelling blood and practicing the SoulRefining path.

As for the 【Technique】 character Sacred Fruit, it is largely due to Chen Yan's understanding of the Cultivation Technique, the Hundred Spears Dark Thrust, and the Eight Extreme Refining Styles.

At this moment, the dawn is approaching.

At the mountain road entrance of Luoshan County, Chen Yan stepped down from a sedan.

"You are too driven, Chen Yan. You exchanged for sixteen hours of Observation Time for the Hundred Spears Dark Thrust; we thought you would at least observe for five days."

A Fu Zhi Ren Yuan named Si Wenyi looked at Chen Yan as he got out of the car, a trace of emotion in their eyes.

Truly driven.

After Chen Yan obtained the Origin Crystal for the Hundred Spears Dark Thrust, he didn't rest at all and observed for sixteen hours in one go.

Glancing at Si Wenyi, a smile appeared on the corner of Chen Yan's mouth, and he simply waved goodbye:

"See you another day."

Si Wenyi drove away, and Chen Yan walked alone along the country road in the early morning.

After confirming there was no one around.

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

A series of buzzing sounds resonated from within his body, and wisps of Min Zhe Qi Xue appeared beside Chen Yan as he waved his hand.

Immediately following, they condensed rapidly.

Densely packed Ice Crystals, shimmering with a deep blue halo, swirled behind Chen Yan, following the movement of his will.

One by one, the Ice Crystals shot out.

Boom, boom, boom!

On the ground, pits with diameters of over half a meter suddenly exploded open.

With his SoulRefining retracted, Chen Yan swung his right hand, and another Ice Crystal shot out. Driven by the dual force of his strength and SoulRefining, this Ice Crystal exploded against a nearby mountain wall, instantly shattering it into debris.

With Min Zhe activated, a burst of cold air invaded the mountain wall, freezing the surroundings.

It can be used for area attacks, or as a hidden weapon.

Even when combined with physical force, the power of this hidden weapon Ice Crystal is terrifyingly frightening.

Chen Yan's pupils shone brightly; at this moment, he felt the charm of the SoulRefining path.

Chen Yan exhaled red mist from his mouth; seven Force Patterns and four Grain Marks each on his tendons, bones, and skin emerged.

The path of Horizontal Refinement now has nineteen Grain Marks!

As for the path of SoulRefining, with Chen Yan continuously performing blood-sniffing these past few days, his Heart Casting Degree has reached one hundred percent.

Moreover, the second organ, the liver, has also been opened, reaching fifty Casting Degree!

Walking all the way to the First Martial High School, the sun was gradually rising.

Inside, however, there were people making a racket.

"Chen Yan."

Wu Chuqi looked at Chen Yan and hurriedly greeted him:

"Chu Bizha and Li Qingyuan are going to fight, shall we go over and watch together?"

Chen Yan Frown:

"Haven't they already fought?"

Wu Chuqi shook his head and said:

"I don't know why Chu Bizha wants to fight again today."

Chen Yan nodded; he did not care about other people's affairs, but his relationship with Li Qingyuan was still good, and having just returned from outside, it was just right to blend in with the others.

Walking toward the Playground, Chen Yan had already seen the students gathered in a circle discussing.

Before he even got close, he saw one person from the fighting circle fly out, covered in blood, with their facial features sunken in.

It was Chu Bizha.

The surroundings were quiet, yet Li Qingyuan was seen with a flushed face, looking at the still Howling Chu Bizha and shouting in a low voice:

"Looking down on us, then what about you!"

"Waste!"

"Forming cliques and repeatedly targeting us, do you think you're so tough?!"

Li Qingyuan was clearly in Anger.

The surroundings were quiet.

Chen Yan narrowed his Pupil to look, only to see Chu Feiyuan, who was acting as the referee, with a complexion of extreme Shade.

These past few days, Chu Feiyuan had been pumping mixed blood energy into Chen Yan's Blood-Sniffing Room, but he had never approached him openly.

As the newly emerged Leader of the impoverished students, Li Qingyuan had actually blocked a lot of trouble for Chen Yan.

"The attack was too ruthless..."

Beside him, Wu Chuqi slowly shook his head:

"Chu Bizha is, after all, a member of the Chu Family."

Chen Yan's Mu Jin was low.

Seeing Luo Puxin in the center of the field nodding at him, he then went on his way.

After a while, Chen Yan finished his meal and headed to the Xuyang District.

Noon.

Chu Family.

"Damn Beast thing, to actually dare to beat Bizha like this!"

"These lowly things really deserve to die!"

Inside the room, Chu Bizha was still lying on the Hospital Bed, and Chu Feiyuan shouted in a low voice, full of Anger.

The other members of the Chu Family also had terrifying expressions.

It was at this moment that the room went quiet.

A Youth wearing White Clothes embroidered with dragons walked into the room; the Youth had an ordinary appearance, but between his brows, he carried a temperament rarely seen in ordinary people.

"Brother Xuansheng." On the Hospital Bed, Chu Bizha felt a trace of awe in his eyes upon seeing the person arrive.

As for the other elders of the Chu Family like Chu Feiyuan, they also wore a Smile on their faces.

They gave Chu Xuansheng a lot of face.

"Waste."

Chu Xuansheng spoke indifferently and glanced at Chu Bizha on the bed; the latter's complexion turned to Paleness instantly.

"Xuansheng, Bizha is your cousin." A man named Chu Cang spoke up.

Chu Xuansheng, however, said indifferently:

"Why must the lecture given to me by Master Gong Tuo be changed so that I have to receive the lecture together with the others?"

Chu Feiyuan was Stun, then hurriedly spoke:

"Originally, Gong Tuo proposed to lecture only to the first place of the True Martial Class, but Luo Puxin insisted that he lecture to the entire top ten."

Chu Xuansheng's expression was calm, but his eyes were frozen with a faint coldness:

"Are they worthy?"

No one answered; everyone knew they were not worthy.

"A bunch of Waste, like the Waste that is Chu Bizha, how can they receive a lecture with me?"

Chu Xuansheng spoke again.

Still, no one answered.

Chu Xuansheng had just lost to the twenty-sixth place on the Shi Jie Bang Di Er a few days ago and was currently in a fit of Anger, which everyone understood.

Chu Xuansheng's goal was only those who existed above him.

Chu Xuanxian.

Or even those few who were even more powerful than Chu Xuanxian.

Seeing that no one answered him, the traces of coldness in Chu Xuansheng's eyes receded, and he looked at Chu Bizha on the Hospital Bed:

"The face you lost for the Chu Family, I will personally win it back the day after tomorrow."

The crowd was stunned, and Chu Xuansheng's Father, Chu Cang, hurriedly spoke:

"Are you planning to target Li Qingyuan?"

"Li Qingyuan, who is he?" Chu Xuansheng narrowed his eyes, yet he was Laughing:

"I want to trample all of that trash under my feet."

That figure emerged in his Brain.

He would never be able to catch up.

He couldn't even break into the top twenty of Yunmeng City, drifting further and further away from that person.

Rage surged in the depths of Chu Xuansheng's eyes.

The crowd was quiet for a moment, and the Chu Family Family Head, who had not spoken until now, said:

"Among the top ten, five have signed a Chu Family Contract, and two have signed a Gong Family Contract.

Just don't beat them to death."

………………

The next day.

Boom—!

With one strike, an Ancient Beast the size of a Tiger flew out, its Chest shattered.

Chen Yan withdrew his right Fist, and strange, flower-like Grain Marks flickered between his knuckles.

Walking over alone, Chen Yan put the Ancient Beast's left eye, marked with a fifty, into a cloth bag.

"The Xuyang District is a bit weak."

Chen Yan murmured; after his strength increased rapidly, even fighting fifty-point Xuyang District Ancient Beasts felt very simple.

He glanced at the Grain Marks on his Fist.

This was the Protective Pattern Chen Yan had comprehended from the purple crystal.

The levels of an Array are also Common Grade, Upper Grade, Martial Grade, and Earth Vein Grade.

Currently, Chen Yan's Protective Formation is not yet powerful, only Shangpin Level B.

But it already allows Chen Yan to walk sideways throughout the entire Xuyang District.

Furthermore, with the Heart-Entry Level 【Extreme Refinement Eight Styles】, Chen Yan can basically insta-kill these Ancient Beasts with one strike.

Not to mention the 【Red Heart Fist】.

The 【Red Heart Fist】 has already reached the marvelous level.

"I am currently... ranked about what in the True Martial Class..."

Chen Yan looked at his Palm and murmured.

"Second Place!"

A man's voice rang out, and Luo Puxin dropped down from a Tree high above, Laughing:

"You should have no problem beating the current Second Place, Liu Zong."

Luo Puxin looked at Chen Yan, wanting to see some other expression on Chen Yan's face.

"What about Chu Xuansheng?" Chen Yan Frown, could he still not beat Chu Xuansheng?

Luo Puxin was speechless.

Still not satisfied?

Awesome.

Wait.

Can he beat him?

Luo Puxin suddenly Stun, can Chen Yan beat Chu Xuansheng now?

He didn't know.

He probably can't beat him.

He probably can't beat him.

Chen Yan is only at nineteen Grain Marks, but his 【Extreme Refinement Eight Styles】 is at Heart-Entry, his 【Red Heart Fist】 is even more marvelous, and he has the Ancient Divine Beast's Protective Formation.

Holy Crap!

He can't beat him!

Definitely can't beat him!

But he also practices SoulRefining...

Should he ask Chen Yan about the progress of the 【Chaos Abyss Art】?

Luo Puxin pondered in his heart.

Forget it, he won't ask.

Holy Crap!

He also has Fist Momentum.

Holy Crap!

"The day after tomorrow, Gong Tuo is going to lecture on an Earth Vein Grade Horizontal Refinement Absolute Technique; don't look down on it just because it's Grade D, it's already very generous, so seize the opportunity well."

Luo Puxin said Laughing.

"Okay." Chen Yan nodded.

Luo Puxin threw the Lunchbox in his hand to Chen Yan and left.

He really didn't want to ask Chen Yan any more questions about his Cultivation Technique progress.

He had been calling Shen Yiwei these past few days, and the other party always only said two words.

Holy Crap.

Luo Puxin himself had not expected that he had accidentally found a true Heavenly Pride.

If he grasps this well, Chen Yan might be able to enter the top three of the Yunmeng City Talent List.

After some time, he really might be able to go and fight Chu Xuansheng.

After eating a simple meal, Chen Yan continued to move within the Xuyang District.

Combat is the best way to improve one's strength.

Continuing deeper, ahead was a place he had never been before.

Chen Yan walked for a long time, but there were no Ancient Beasts.

Within the Po Saint Realm, a streak of ink-colored light suddenly appeared.

A monstrous ink-colored light!

An ink-colored light representing Elemental Energy!

Chen Yan's pupils constricted, and he continued forward.

"Hey, there are no Ancient Beasts past this point."

A man's voice rang out; Lv Chong walked toward Chen Yan, squinting his eyes as he looked at Chen Yan.

Over these past few days, the Origin essence of the Origin Stele for the 【Ji Lian Ba Shi】 had decreased, and his Cultivation Technique progress was extremely poor.

"Chen Yan, let's discuss something," Lv Chong said.

"You want me to stop practicing the Ji Lian Ba Shi?" Chen Yan frowned:

"This is not my problem; the Origin Stele requires others to infuse it with Origin, and since I absorbed it, it is what I am owed.

You shouldn't be blaming me."

Lv Chong's expression was somber as he spoke:

"I know it's not your problem, but there are very few Strong Ones in the entire Yunmeng City who can infuse the Ji Lian Ba Shi Origin Stele.

Even if there were, they wouldn't come to our Xian's True Martial Class!"

Chen Yan walked away:

"What does that have to do with me?"

Lv Chong grew anxious:

"I have reached thirty-three Grain Marks, and my Jia Li has also bought me many resources; I plan to merge them once I reach fifty Grain Marks.

I intended to charge into the top three by the end of the True Martial Class, but if you keep going to the Henglian Room, I won't be able to make it into the top three!"

Chen Yan frowned and left directly.

Lv Chong followed him anxiously:

"Chen Yan, you are still far off and cannot enter the top three, but I can. If I enter the top three, I will have hope of participating in the Talent Trial of Yunmeng."

Chen Yan stopped in his tracks:

"You want to enter the top three, but do you think I don't want to enter the top three?"

Lv Chong was stunned; could Chen Yan really enter the top three?

Chen Yan was currently eighth in the True Martial Class with a very poor foundation, but he was very hardworking; could he enter?

But what did that have to do with him?

Right now, Chen Yan was indeed blocking his path.

If Chen Yan continued to go to the Henglian Room, even if the Origin Stele didn't give Chen Yan a Sudden Enlightenment, it would still give Chen Yan more Origin essence.

If this continued, his path would be cut off.

Seeing that Lv Chong was silent, Chen Yan smiled, a slight smile: "Come and fight me."

Lv Chong was stunned and squinted his eyes:

"Fight you?"

"Yes," Chen Yan's smile was gentle:

"I want to live in a house in the Priority Zone."

"Don't play clever tricks!" Lv Chong shouted in a low voice:

"Taking advantage of the fact that my Ji Lian Ba Shi is about to reach Entry Level, you want to break my Dao Heart?"

Lv Chong gave a Cold Snort; his own 【Ji Lian Ba Shi】 was about to reach Entry Level.

Chen Yan might have already reached Entry Level after receiving the Sudden Enlightenment.

Chen Yan couldn't beat him, but if he used an Entry Level 【Ji Lian Ba Shi】, it would definitely destroy his Dao Heart.

He would be completely finished.

Chen Yan's smile grew wider:

"I didn't know you were about to reach Entry Level."

"Nonsense, the entire True Martial Class knows; are you telling me you don't know?" Lv Chong shouted in a low voice.

"Then you name the time, and I will fight you," Chen Yan said with a warm smile.

Lv Chong was stunned; was Chen Yan really this confident?

His own Grain Marks were far more numerous than Chen Yan's; after his 【Ji Lian Ba Shi】 reached Entry Level, how could Chen Yan fight him?

Wasn't this just courting death?

"The day after tomorrow, no, three days from now!" Lv Chong gave a Cold Snort.

Chen Yan was full of smiles, while Lv Chong's Cold Snort faded, and for some reason, he felt a chill down his back.
