Chapter 57: Siblings, the Tianbei Fist Tournament

At the same time.

Yunmeng City Martial Officer, top floor.

Gong Hangwen's Office.

"I understand."

Gong Hangwen hung up the landline and fell into Silence for a long while:

"Fist Momentum, Heart-Entry Level Extreme Refining Eight Styles, limit-breaking genius..."

He murmured, Anger floating in his Pupil:

"Chu Family, what great audacity!"

The Chu Family is actually suppressing such a genius!

Chen Yan...

Gong Hangwen silently recited this name in his heart, a Smile appearing at the corner of his Mouth.

He wanted to take him into his pocket.

And it was at this moment.

Knock, knock, knock...

The door of the Office rang.

"Come in," Gong Hangwen said.

Yet he saw a handsome Youth wearing black clothes, with long hair and an air of immortality between his brows, walk into the Office.

Gong Hangwen was somewhat surprised:

"Xuanxian, why have you come?"

Chu Xuanxian.

A Heavenly Pride of the Chu Family, the seventh-ranked Heavenly Pride of Yunmeng City, and his, Gong Hangwen's, Disciple.

Compared to him, Chu Xuansheng was far, far inferior.

"Master," Chu Xuanxian said quietly, when suddenly flames rose around his body, and an extremely sharp intent erupted in an instant, only to Disappear again just as quickly.

Gong Hangwen was Stun, then immediately overjoyed: "SecondGradeSwordIntent, Xuanxian, you..."

"I only just broke through recently," Chu Xuanxian said with a faint Smile:

"This time, I can try to charge into the top five."

Gong Hangwen's Pupil revealed a Smile, and he nodded with satisfaction:

"Xuanxian, what gift do you want? Master will..."

Chu Xuanxian said quietly:

"Master, are you going to sign that Chen Yan?"

Gong Hangwen calmed down, though he cursed inwardly at how such a small matter had spread so quickly.

"Yes, that Chen Yan has Fist Momentum."

Chu Xuanxian nodded:

"My uncle Chu Feiyuan has been adding impure blood energy into Chen Yan's Blood-Sniffing Room."

Silence.

Gong Hangwen Frown, and shouted in a low voice:

"Is this Chu Feiyuan looking for death?!"

His eyes were full of Anger; adding impure blood to someone else's SoulRefining, isn't this cutting off their future?

This is a life-and-death feud!

Chu Xuanxian nodded:

"Yes, my uncle is too stupid; Chen Yan will definitely discover it in the future."

Gong Hangwen fell into Silence.

Chu Xuanxian continued:

"But I don't want my uncle to die."

Gong Hangwen Frown:

"I will give Chu Feiyuan an Earth Vein Grade Qi Blood Elixir and have him go send it to Chen Yan to apologize."

Chu Xuanxian said nothing and turned to leave.

"Xuanxian, you..." Gong Hangwen said with dissatisfaction; Chu Xuanxian was forcing him.

"I will go kill my uncle to apologize to Chen Yan," Chu Xuanxian said without turning around:

"A feud is already formed; even if an apology is made now, is it useful?

A martial artist must have a Dao Heart; if that Chen Yan accepts an apology, he won't go far in the future."

Gong Hangwen sat down, only to see Chu Xuanxian looking over gloomily:

"That matter was my uncle doing it for you."

Silence.

"Xuanxian, sit," Gong Hangwen lit a cigar and said faintly:

"I won't sign Chen Yan anymore."

Gong Hangwen sighed lightly.

Compared to Chu Xuanxian, Chen Yan's value was still too low.

There are many geniuses with Fist Momentum, but only those who can awaken true Fist Intent are true Heavenly Pride.

Even if Chu Xuanxian is not the strongest Heavenly Pride under his command.

It was also impossible for him to harbor a grudge against Chu Xuanxian for the sake of Chen Yan.

Chu Xuanxian revealed a Smile:

"For the Tianjiao Trial, I will certainly exhaust all my strength to help Miss Gong Fanling!"

Gong Hangwen laughed.

…………

In Shen Yiwei's Office.

"Huh?"

"Hmm?"

"Holy Crap!"

"This..."

Shen Yiwei put down the landline, his face blank.

"Master?" The Woman named Lu Linqian, who was sitting on the sofa, spoke:

"Master, what is wrong with you?"

Shen Yiwei slowly shook his head, then looked at Lu Linqian:

"Xiao Qian, do you think I value you all?"

Lu Linqian frowned slightly, wondering what was wrong with Master today:

"You value us quite a bit."

"No." Shen Yiwei shook his head:

"When you entered the Martial Guard, you actually suffered targeting from the Gong Family in certain situations, wouldn't you say?"

Lu Linqian narrowed her eyes, Cold Intent blooming in her Pupil:

"That is because the Gong Family deserves to die!"

"No." Shen Yiwei took a deep breath:

"Xiao Qian, it is not like that. When I was growing up, I was actually very well protected. My Master, Lu Xunyang, was strong—very strong—and no one could bully us."

Lu Linqian was Stunned; Lu Xunyang, the myth of Qinzhou.

But...

"But after my Master stepped into the Ancient God Forbidden Zone, our days became increasingly difficult." Shen Yiwei sighed:

"But I feel that I could have done better, right?

To let a genius like you have the time and opportunity to truly rise!"

Lu Linqian fell into Silence; what was wrong with Master today?

"Moreover, I am not a good judge of character. Back then, I treated Chu Xuanxian so well..." Cold Intent appeared in Shen Yiwei's eyes.

"It is all because Chu Xuanxian is a Wolf with wild ambitions; he acted too well!" Lu Linqian shouted coldly:

"The Chu Family, the Gong Family—not a single one of them is any good!"

Shen Yiwei slowly shook his head:

"That is why geniuses like you, Xiao Qian, are rare, very rare..."

Lu Linqian fell into Silence, not quite understanding.

Yet, she saw Shen Yiwei suddenly Stood Up.

He looked behind him and reached out to grab.

Buzz, buzz, buzz!

A series of ear-piercing buzzing sounds rang out, and in Lu Linqian's eyes, everything in the world became incomparably blurred.

The walls were changing, matter was jumping, and an indescribable pressure spread out.

"Shen Yiwei, what are you doing!"

Gong Hangwen's angry shout rang out, but Shen Yiwei, eyes filled with Anger, pushed out a palm.

This palm carried profound force, penetrating layer after layer of walls and figure after figure.

Suddenly, inside Gong Hangwen's room, Chu Xuanxian, who had been sitting peacefully on the sofa, had his expression change drastically.

Streams of bright white flames instantly bound and tightened around him.

Clang, clang, clang...

Streams of blood sprayed from Chu Xuanxian's body, and Ferociousness and Blood Trace appeared.

"Ah!!!!" Chu Xuanxian Scream in fear:

"Master, save me!!!"

Gong Hangwen was furious and unleashed a palm; a rolling, invisible force crashed toward where Shen Yiwei was like a great wave hitting a reef.

"You dare to strike a junior, you have some nerve!" Gong Hangwen was furious.

Boom!

The two forces collided, and circles of air waves exploded outside the entire Martial Officer building.

Above the Sky, the clouds suddenly dispersed, and Heaven and Earth changed drastically.

On the ground.

Countless people looked on in Scream.

Inside the Martial Officer, the Strong Ones of every department had their Pupil shrink, preparing for a great battle.

On the other side of the building, Shen Yiwei shouted lowly:

"Chu Xuanxian, I have said it before, do not appear before me. You thief, you learned five layers of my Sword Dao True Intent, how dare you still show your face!"

Chu Xuanxian showed fear, blood spraying from his whole body, but he dared not speak.

"What do you want!" Gong Hangwen barked.

"Return it to me!" Shen Yiwei said indifferently.

"How can I return True Intent? Are you kidding me?" Gong Hangwen narrowed his eyes.

"I want your Gong Family Panlong Jade!"

"You have some nerve!" Gong Hangwen was furious.

"Then I shall cripple his True Intent!"

Boom!

A streak of fearless sword light shot up into the sky from Shen Yiwei, moving forward without hesitation, standing tall between Heaven and Earth.

"Ahhhhhhh!!!"

A scream erupted from the mouth of Chu Xuanxian.

He had originally studied under Shen Yiwei, and his Sword Intent bore many traces of Shen Yiwei.

Now that Shen Yiwei wanted to cripple him with a higher-level Sword Intent, it was very simple!

"I'll give it!"

Gong Hangwen said with a gloomy expression.

Shen Yiwei withdrew his hand, and everything fell silent.

Inside the Office.

Lu Linqian was completely stunned, watching her Master, Shen Yiwei, who had two Black Eye Circles, slowly raise his Thumb.

"Master, you are truly good to me." Lu Linqian said gratefully.

"Of course I am good to you." Shen Yiwei waved his hand and said:

"However, I will only give you one-tenth of the Panlong Jade; I am giving six-tenths to those brats in the Military Martial Guard."

Lu Linqian immediately revealed a Smile; one-tenth was already a lot.

But she soon asked:

"Then what about the remaining Three-tenths?"

Shen Yiwei did not speak, but instead looked toward the Outer Realm.

His True Intent remained on Chu Xuanxian, and the moment the other party arrived, he had known.

He had not expected this.

He had not expected the Gong Family to actually abandon Chen Yan.

Pitiful.

According to what Luo Puxin said, the strength Chen Yan had revealed was less than Seven-tenths.

Only Seven-tenths.

Holy Crap.

………………

The time for Gong Tuo to give his lecture was successfully delayed because of a battle.

Night.

A person beyond Chen Yan's expectations appeared.

"Chen Yan." Gong Tuo looked at Chen Yan with extreme complexity:

"I proposed to the Gong Family higher-ups to sign you, but it failed. I don't know what they are thinking."

Gong Tuo shook his head, glanced at Chen Yan, and said:

"However, I do truly admire you."

Chen Yan was somewhat surprised and said with a Smile:

"It's fine."

Gong Tuo gave a bitter laugh:

"I know you have accepted the Tianjiao Cultivation of the Military Martial Guard; you perhaps do not care about my Gong Family Contract."

Gong Tuo poured himself a cup of water and said:

"The higher you stand, the more you will find that you cannot avoid conflict; it is always like this.

You and I might have to keep a cold face when we meet in the future."

Gong Tuo took a Drink of water and said:

"This world is just like this; there is no way around it. If you don't fight, you won't be strong."

He Stood Up, shook his head with a Smile, not even knowing why he had said these things to Chen Yan.

Just as he was about to leave, he suddenly turned back and said:

"Since you have talent in Horizontal Refinement and have perseverance, I suggest you give up Blood-Sniffing and give up the Awakening of Qi and Blood."

Chen Yan was Stun, as Gong Tuo's words had a hidden meaning; he seemed to know about Chu Feiyuan tampering in the Blood-Sniffing Room.

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

"In high school, as long as you have the Awakening of Qi and Blood, everyone will treat you well."

Gong Tuo opened his Mouth, looked deeply at Chen Yan, and then left.

Walking out of Chen Yan's courtyard, a trace of complexity appeared in Gong Tuo's eyes.

He knew about Chu Feiyuan tampering with Chen Yan in the Blood-Sniffing Room.

If Chen Yan continued to go for Blood-Sniffing, he would only get further and further away from Awakening, and it would even damage his foundation, and his constitution would also be harmed.

He was dissatisfied with Chu Feiyuan's actions in his heart, which was why he had warned Chen Yan.

But he and Chen Yan could never walk the same path in the end.

Chen Yan was still unwilling to give up on Blood-Sniffing.

That is all that needs to be said.

Gong Tuo let out a long sigh, as if he had already foreseen Chen Yan's future.

By the moment Chen Yan discovers it, it might already be too late.

Inside Chen Yan's room.

Luo Puxin walked out from the Cultivation Room.

"If your strength is not strong, you will be like Gong Tuo, constantly acting against your own heart."

Luo Puxin smiled faintly:

"In a few days, I will tamper with the Blood-Sniffing Room so that the Chu Family cannot discover you."

Every time Chen Yan goes to the Blood-Sniffing Room, he absorbs a large amount of SoulRefining, and the Chu Family has already become suspicious.

It is just that they cannot find the problem, and even less so suspect Chen Yan.

On one hand, Chen Yan has not exposed that he possesses SoulRefining.

On the other hand, he has been able to suppress the resistance of the 【Eight Styles of Extreme Refining】 toward SoulRefining and has cultivated it to the heart-entry level.

It is even more impossible for him to be suspected.

Luo Puxin cursed under his breath; heaven knows how Chen Yan is able to cultivate like this.

But as time goes on, problems will arise.

The energy consumed daily by the Chu Family's Blood-Sniffing Room is a bit too much.

Thinking of this, Luo Puxin shook his head:

"Tonight I will take you to Yunmeng City, first prepare a set of clothes for you, then go to the Tianbei Fist Tournament; there are treasures for you later."

Chen Yan was stunned—there are still treasures?

He felt fortunate in his heart that it was the right choice to show his combat strength today.

Otherwise, there wouldn't suddenly be so much investment.

"Fine, I still have some Martial Merit Points left unused; it's perfect to go and exchange them for some Qi Blood Potion."

Chen Yan smiled; he had promised to give Sister Qi Blood Potion, and after a long time, it was about time to give it to her.

As for the Tianbei Fist Tournament, Chen Yan had intended to go himself, but he had been delayed for some time due to his previous injury.

Luo Puxin nodded and took Chen Yan away.

…………

Yunmeng City, in a small alley extremely close to the suburbs.

Wearing a White Skirt and a Rabbit mask, Chen Yu was walking slowly; everyone around who saw her revealed a look of surprise.

"Master, if I reach SilverRankCertification today, you will teach me the BloodCondensationArrayDisc, right?"

Chen Yu asked with a grin.

In her Consciousness World, the Red Skirt Woman nodded:

"You should be able to reach Silver Rank today; after fighting continuously these past few days, your strength has indeed improved quite well, but..."

The Red Skirt Woman changed the subject:

"You still haven't achieved Awakening of Qi and Blood; this is a bit slow."

"Mm, I will achieve Awakening as soon as possible," Chen Yu smiled.

Chen Yan had previously said he would give Chen Yu some Qi Blood Potion, but Chen Yu and the Red Skirt Woman also knew that Chen Yan had just joined the True Martial Class and his start was not fast, and he himself also had a longing for the Awakening of Qi and Blood.

Therefore, they still did not count on Chen Yan.

Chen Yu also did not want to hold her Brother back.

Walking into a dark alley and arriving before a wall, Chen Yu pushed the wall surface; a gap appeared in the wall, and it was pushed open like a door.

Inside, there was an elevator; she sat in the elevator and went straight down.

She did not know how much time had passed.

She arrived.

Stepping into the magnificent Great Hall, the Star Dome overhead, which resembled a dreamlike realm, was the most eye-catching.

Pieces of shining crystals were embedded in the crown like pearls.

Inside the Great Hall, the architectural lines were smooth and fluid, and the floor and walls were as clean as jade; under the reflection of the Star Dome, it appeared even more modern and stylish.

Inside the vast Great Hall, people were coming and going, either wearing masks or black cloth, all covering their faces.

The Tianbei Fist Tournament is an underground fist tournament; it is impossible for anyone to show their true face.

Chen Yu walked to the front desk and took out a card:

"BronzeRank 2365."

The woman at the front desk clicked the computer and smiled:

"2356, you can wait in the BronzeRank combat area; there is a Newcomer challenging the levels today, it should be your turn very soon."

"Challenging the levels?" Chen Yu was surprised.

"Mm, a Newcomer just arrived, quite formidable; the speed of challenging the levels is even faster than yours.

He has already reached a seven-win streak; perhaps it won't take many days before he can reach Silver Rank."

Chen Yu nodded; although her expression was calm, there was a ripple in her heart.

A winning streak adds points; if the other party achieves a winning streak by defeating her, then her winning streak would be broken.

"Forget it, let's not worry about it for now, go and take a look."

Chen Yu murmured and headed toward the Combatant Area.

Inside the BronzeRank Combatant Area, several people were already sitting and discussing continuously.

"This person's Ice Attribute Qi and Blood is quite impressive, quite rare."

"Ice attribute is alright, not that rare, but this person's Martial Technique proficiency is very high."

"Their constitution is also not bad."

Listening to the crowd's discussion, Chen Yu chose a front-row seat and sat down.

Inside the Observation Area, heads were bobbing, and cheers were constant.

Everyone was watching the two figures on the Arena, who were continuously fighting each other.

Suddenly.

The wave of cheers instantly grew louder.

"Bronze Tier 2389 has successfully cleared the stage!"

A hearty male voice rang out from the broadcast, echoing throughout the entire Observation Area.

Only then did Chen Yu look over; on the Arena, a figure wearing Black Clothes with their face completely wrapped in black cloth was standing with the referee.

The Arena was covered in Ice Crystal.

In the Observation Area, a man and a woman wearing Black Clothes had looks of astonishment on their faces.

"Si Wenyi, he wouldn't reach Silver Rank today, would he?"

PS: Shamelessly asking for some gifts; the new book period is quite difficult.

This book is successfully doing as poorly in the early stages as the last one, hahaha.

It's painful.
