Chapter 61: He Is Different From You All

Hooo!

A mouthful of red mist erupted from Chen Yan's mouth; Chen Yan's entire body was steaming, as if magma were surging wildly within his body.

Hot, hot, hot!

Sss, sss, sss!

The Body Tempering essence from the Panlong Jade churned ceaselessly within every cell of his body, as if it wanted to break through the constraints of Chen Yan's skin.

Pitch-black Grain Marks appeared one by one upon Chen Yan's body.

Eight Force Patterns, Fourteen Skin Patterns, four Tendon Patterns, four Bone Patterns!

Chen Yan's flesh was taut, every inch of his muscle fiber currently enduring the collision of this terrifying energy.

Forcefully circulate!

Waves of majestic energy rushed toward Chen Yan's tendons and bones.

Not enough!

Chen Yan gritted his teeth; he was like a gunpowder barrel on the verge of exploding.

Need to fight!

Need to move!

Need to break through his own Limit!

No wonder Shen Yiwei had him come to the Combat Zone!

Chen Yan's Mu Guang condensed; the head of that Renshen-bodied Ancient Divine Beast before his eyes had already exploded.

Clang!

A gap suddenly appeared on the smooth wall in front, folding into the right wall like a rolling shutter door.

Ahead was a larger space.

About two hundred square meters in size, the floor was covered in bloodstains.

Countless scraps of cow and sheep flesh lay upon the scratched floor.

Two strange creatures, ape-like in form and a full five meters tall, looked toward Chen Yan.

Their bodies were covered in black hair, their backs covered in rows of scorpion-like exoskeleton spikes, and their faces were a gray-white exoskeleton with only five air holes.

The moment they discovered Chen Yan's arrival, the two strange creatures that had been gnawing on the cow and sheep flesh stopped their movements simultaneously and looked toward Chen Yan in unison.

To be precise, they had no eyes at all, so one could not call it the act of "looking," but Chen Yan clearly felt an extreme Malice from them.

Sss, sss, sss!

Streams of black gas were spat out from the exhaust holes on their faces.

An invisible pressure arrived, as if at this moment the Malice of the entire world had enveloped Chen Yan.

Outside the Combat Zone.

Shen Youning was somewhat Stun, then her Mu Guang turned sharp as she looked at Si Wenyi beside her:

"Xu Di let him enter the Fifth Grade Zone?"

Si Wenyi shook his head:

"He chose it himself."

Shen Youning was taken aback, her red lips Kaiyuan:

"Why?"

Why take the risk?

Could it be caused by the competitiveness between Youth?

The Panlong Jade is an Earth Vein grade Medicine, it cannot be wasted.

Shen Youning clenched her hands, looking at Chen Yan on the screen, silent.

"I don't know why either, he is different."

Beside her, Si Wenyi said softly.

"Different?" Shen Youning's slender brows furrowed slightly.

The two of them, the next moment, spoke no more.

Because inside...

The battle was on the verge of breaking out.

Boom!

One Ape-Type Creature suddenly turned into a Black Light and charged at Chen Yan; spreading its Arms, the moment it rushed in front of Chen Yan, its arm strength surged, and it slapped down toward Chen Yan's head.

"Not good!" Shen Youning whispered:

"They sensed that Chen Yan's tendons and bones are not strong, they want to instantly explode Chen Yan's head."

Cold sweat appeared on Shen Youning's Forehead; on the Iron Gate, an Alarm Light flashed red.

This was the Detection Device of the Combat Zone detecting that Chen Yan had encountered huge danger; it would kill these two Ancient Divine Beasts before Chen Yan was about to die.

In an instant, sweat seeped out of Si Wenyi's Forehead.

Ancient Divine Beasts are not stupid; Chen Yan revealed all his Grain Marks, and they saw Chen Yan's weakness at a glance.

They were filled with Malice toward the human world; since they were going to die anyway, they were willing to kill Chen Yan before dying.

At this moment, Si Wenyi had already started praying that the Detection Device in the Combat Zone would not malfunction.

Even though it had never malfunctioned, they could not help but worry at this moment.

Bang!

An instantaneous explosion rang out, and a bloody wave of air erupted from between the palms of this ape.

Shen Youning's Pupil shrank.

Chen Yan dodged it.

Yet at this moment, Chen Yan's body remained suspended in mid-air, his upper body and arms curled together, hovering right in front of the Ape-Type Creature.

Purely using the core strength of his own belly, he remained in a half-squat in mid-air, presenting an anti-physical phenomenon of being frozen in the air.

In an instant, another Ape-Type Creature appeared on Chen Yan's right side, a sweeping kick missing its mark.

Chen Yan's expression changed.

So fast!

A momentary burst actually brought him the threat of death.

This was simply not a battle one could encounter in ordinary life.

Compared to this, his battle with Chu Xuansheng was like playing house.

He... smiled.

Exceptionally excited!

Landing steadily, two black-furred fists stained with blood slammed toward Chen Yan from the left and right.

Bang!

Chen Yan spread his arms and caught these two fists steadily; the terrifying energy of the Panlong Jade shook even more under the impact of these two Ape-Type Creatures' power.

Sss!

Black gas spewed from the exhaust vents of the two Ape-Type Creatures, and the smile on Chen Yan's face grew even more exuberant.

His arms erupted with rolling force, and the bodies of the two Ape-Type Creatures collided together before they could adjust their posture.

Boom!

A phantom image rushed over extremely quickly, vigorous Gang Wind erupted from within Chen Yan's body, and his arms swung!

Boom, boom, boom, boom!

A series of fist strikes like a rainstorm of thunder dragons smashed out crazily, spatial fist imprints intersecting.

At this moment, Chen Yan seemed to be the true Ancient Divine Beast, his fists like the giant mouth of a Taotie, wanting to Swallow the opponent completely.

Screech!

Screech! Screech! Screech!

One after another, shrill shrieks erupted from the mouths of the two Ape-Type Creatures; they were beaten by Chen Yan into a steady retreat, and the Malice all over their bodies seemed as if it had been forcibly scattered.

The human before their eyes.

Brutal!

Fierce Light!

Reckless!

Punch, punch, punch!

Beating the two Ape-Type Creatures until their bodies began to twist, blood constantly splashing, Bone constantly shattering.

Chen Yan's Mu Guang was cold and stern, yet the corners of his mouth carried a Smile.

He had questions in his mind too: why was he smiling?

He wanted to smile!

Smiling to watch, why are you all so weak?

You are clearly so weak, why do you look so strong?

Really...

"It makes no sense!"

Following the smashing strikes, the surging energy of the Panlong Jade within his body flowed crazily under the rush of his force.

Under Chen Yan's control, like molten gold being poured, it surged toward Chen Yan's brain Bone, soaking in.

He wanted to be hard; if the Bone was hard, the head would not shatter!

Within the Po Saint Realm, under the pouring of surging Green Light.

A 【Body Character Po Sheng Fruit】 ripened!

Growing once more!

On his chest, an Ink Pattern like water rapidly condensed!

Outside...

"Madman..."

Shen Youning frowned and spat out softly, looking at Si Wenyi:

"He really is Chen Yan; my Uncle said Chen Yan is very sentimental and righteous, very steady."

Si Wenyi spoke with a somewhat uncomfortable expression:

"He is usually very good, it's just... I don't know either, perhaps... I really don't know.

But he is very strong, isn't he?"

Shen Youning took a deep breath and nodded: "He indeed displayed combat power I hadn't expected."

Only Thirty Patterns!

And the 【Red Gang Body-Casting Canon】 he is wielding is also at the level of entering the heart, nearing the level of entering the marvelous.

The 【Extreme Refining Eight Styles】 is also only at the level of entering the marvelous.

With such strength, he shouldn't actually be suppressing these two Ancient Divine Beasts.

But Chen Yan did it.

Why?

Momentum?

Or is it madness?

Shen Youning's red lips parted, and she felt as if she had overlooked something.

"He is actually not mad; he is very calm..."

To the side, Si Wenyi spoke, interrupting Shen Youning's train of thought:

"His talent is good, and your talents are also very good, but there is something he possesses that you do not."

"What?" Shen Youning asked.

Si Wenyi shook her head; she did not know.

It was also at this moment that a group of men and women walked over.

"Xu Di, you had better be careful; Sister Youning is truly angry this time."

"If Chen Yan gets hurt, you will likely be sent off to kill a Shen Shi."

"Xu Di, you must stay safe; I don't want to burn paper for you during the Qingming Festival Festival Festival later... it costs money."

…………

The group teased Xu Di as they walked.

Amidst the crowd, Xu Di's face was covered in Black Lines.

He was truly afraid.

But did he regret it?

No regrets.

It was just a small joke.

The Third Grade Zone is difficult, but he himself had entered the Third Grade Zone on his first time.

Although one would get hurt, nothing major would happen.

He just felt that giving three-tenths of the Panlong Jade to a genius who had just joined the New Dragon Guard—Shen Yiwei was indeed somewhat biased.

Shen Youning is his niece, after all, and she is about to achieve Unity.

Not Seventy-Two Pattern Unity.

It is Eighty-One Pattern Unity!

At such a critical time, to give the majority of the Panlong Jade to Chen Yan...

It is unjustifiable.

All along, Shen Yiwei has seemed to be suppressing his own niece.

As they walked, Xu Di noticed the expressions of the people beside him change, and he looked in the direction of their gaze.

Si Wenyi and Shen Youning were watching the monitoring inside the Iron Gate of the Fifth Grade Zone.

Xu Di froze.

"Damn it!"

A scream erupted from Xu Di's Mouth:

"I didn't tell him to go to the Fifth Grade Zone!"

Cold sweat poured down, and Xu Di's face turned somewhat pale.

One must know that within the Combat Zone, personnel will not die, but the higher the grade, the closer to the state of near-death the protective device will wait before deploying protection.

Fifth Grade!

For a genius who just arrived at the New Dragon Guard, it is too...

Dangerous.

At this moment, beside Xu Di, the group of Youth also had their expressions change.

"Perhaps Chen Yan has already finished, and the one in the Fifth Grade Zone now is not Chen Yan."

The girl named Lu Linqian said.

Xu Di Stun, and the next moment his muscles twitched, and he rushed over like an Arrow.

When he saw the appearance of Chen Yan on the Monitoring Screen.

Thump!

Xu Di fell to the ground:

"Sister Youning, listen to my explanation!"

The others also rushed over, looked at the figure of the Youth covered in blood on the screen, and were all stunned.

"Wait, he has broken through to the Fourth Crossing!"

"Holy crap!"

"Isn't he at the same level as Chu Xuansheng?"

"This is Chen Yan; he looks so fierce."

"Looking at his facial contours, he should be quite handsome."

The crowd discussed, and Xu Di's face twitched for a long while before he saw Shen Youning look over faintly:

"It has nothing to do with you; he wanted to go to the Fifth Grade Zone himself."

Xu Di stiffened, unable to react for a long while.

"Awesome."

Xu Di Stood Up and followed the crowd to look at the Monitoring Screen.

"Thirty-two patterns..."

Counting the Grain Mark on Chen Yan's body, a strange Color appeared in Xu Di's Pupil.

"Thirty-two patterns can break through the Fifth Grade Zone?"

Someone exclaimed in astonishment; they truly have no fear.

"At the very beginning, there were only Thirty Patterns; the two newly emerged Bone Patterns are due to the absorption of the Panlong Jade," Shen Youning said calmly.

"Two of them? This person's absorption efficiency is too good," a girl named Lu Linqian muttered.

She had consumed one-tenth of a Panlong Jade and only grew three in the first day; how long has it been for Chen Yan?

"It's a matter of constitution, but him absorbing so fast could also be because..." Shen Youning said, but she looked at the Monitoring Screen again.

Everyone held their breath.

The Third Pass was cleared; all three monsters with human heads and sheep bodies were dead.

Chen Yan took off his top and wiped the blood off his body.

Qi-Blood Warriors are still more elegant; Horizontal Refinement Martial Artists focus on being savage and brutal.

Clang!

The wall in front was rolling up, and a thick sense of Malice drifted out from the room ahead.

Chen Yan's Pupil brightened slightly, only feeling as if his whole body had fallen into a quagmire, restrained on all sides by an invisible force.

The Smile on the corners of his mouth remained.

After consuming a Technique Character Sacred Fruit, his 【Red Ridge Body Casting Canon】 had also entered the realm of subtlety.

This was the Breathing Method he had come into contact with earliest, but he had recently delayed its progress; now that it had entered the realm of subtlety, Chen Yan stimulated it once more, feeling his whole body's vitality even more intense.

Stimulating the 【Red Ridge Body Casting Canon】, no red mist was exhaled from Chen Yan's Mouth.

This meant that Chen Yan had reached the point where his power did not overflow; his Flesh and Tendon and Bone were pulsing rhythmically under his regular Breath.

Breath, Breath, Breath...

"Tasty thing!"

"Tasty!"

A heavy, coarse sound of Breath resounded from the room ahead.

Bang!

Chen Yan was blasted away by a giant force, colliding against the wall behind him.

"Tasty things must be eaten more."

A strange existence over five meters tall appeared, its skin dark green like ink, steel bars wrapped around its body and embedded deep into its Flesh, its head wrapped in a deformed Iron Barrel Giant, the iron barrel covered in rust, pitted and uneven.

Looking from the two holes on the iron barrel, one could see two Crimson eyes, extremely sinister.

Just by standing there, the monster brought everyone a feeling of being Difficult to Breathe.

"This is an Ancient Divine Beast equivalent to a martial artist at the Initial Entry into Unity Realm."

Outside the Combat Zone, Xu Di whispered.

Chen Yan could actually break through to this pass?

"Is he going to keep breaking through?"

"This monster is too fierce; if you don't have Fifty Patterns, you'd better not break through."

"It would be better to switch Chen Yan to the Fourth Grade Zone."

The other geniuses spoke up.

They were also geniuses, not ordinary students.

They did not underestimate Chen Yan; they acknowledged that Chen Yan could break through to this pass.

They all said this because this pass was indeed very difficult.

Chen Yan only has Thirty-two Patterns now; this is purely risking his life. If he gets seriously injured, it won't be worth the loss.

At the very front, Shen Youning remained in Silence.

Instead, Si Wenyi looked at the crowd:

"This is Chen Yan's choice."

Shen Youning looked at Si Wenyi:

"Do you two have a grudge?"

Si Wenyi pursed his lips; it was Chen Yan who had a grudge against him.

At the same time.

Inside the Monitoring Screen.

Chen Yan rubbed his neck and walked toward that Iron Barrel Giant; in front of the latter, Chen Yan appeared extremely small.

"So strong!"

Chen Yan whispered; that punch just now almost broke his bones.

But fortunately, the opponent hit his arm, and this area had already been tempered by the Panlong Jade.

Chen Yan now realized the importance of Tendon and Bone.

Tendon, Bone, Skin, and power—none can be missing.

Consuming a Body Character Po Sheng Fruit, the seventh Bone Pattern appeared on Chen Yan's Chest.

At this moment, everyone outside the Combat Zone was stunned.

What does Chen Yan mean, walking over so swaggeringly?

Isn't this just asking to be hit?

Sure enough.

"Tasty thing!"

A low, thick voice rang out, and a massive Fist wrapped in steel bars smashed toward Chen Yan's face.

Combat, an explosion in an instant.
