Chapter 194

Yu Zhilin nodded with a smile and agreed.

"This is the martial world!"

Luo Chenyu was amazed, then asked curiously: "Principal, with such a big event yesterday, shouldn't you all be busy today?"

Patrol teams on the streets were still numerous.

Moreover, the high walls had issued a restriction on leaving the city.

What he hadn't expected was that Longshan High School, at the heart of the storm, was so calm.

An Chen tidied up the chessboard, poured a cup of tea, and placed it before Luo Chenyu.

"If it weren't for Longshan City, I wouldn't care about their affairs. Now that it's over, someone else will gladly handle the aftermath."

"I… just want a few more years of peace!"

Luo Chenyu nodded; he truly couldn't get involved in those "heartless people's" affairs.

Otherwise, he'd be sold and still help count the money.

Just as Luo Chenyu was about to ask when they'd depart for Donghai City.

Yu Zhilin came to Luo Chenyu's side.

"Little Luo, this is for you!"

Luo Chenyu took it curiously and asked: "Teacher Yu, what is this?"

"Yesterday you gave me a skill book; this isn't as valuable as 【Slay Heaven's Slash】, but it's all I could get for now—I'll make it up next time!"

"Uh…"

When Luo Chenyu heard this explanation, he didn't know whether to accept it or refuse—it was agonizing.

An Chen chuckled: "Take it. It's Teacher Yu's heart."

"Then thank you, Teacher Yu!"

Luo Chenyu didn't rush to check it; he stowed the package in his space backpack, his gratitude toward Yu Zhilin rising another notch.

These past days, Yu Zhilin had taken good care of him.

Next time there's a chance, I'll get him something good.

"No need for formalities—I'll stroll around the teaching building. You two chat!"

"Go ahead!"

An Chen waved his hand, watching Yu Zhilin leave.

The door clicked shut, and only then did he turn to Luo Chenyu and sigh: "Teacher Yu—he's the classic type: cold outside, warm inside. Too bad—if he hadn't been betrayed, he wouldn't be stuck at level 75, unable to advance."

These words stirred Luo Chenyu's curiosity.

"Principal, what kind of thing can limit a level?"

"Many, many things. You've only just begun—you've seen nothing yet!"

As An Chen spoke, his smile vanished, replaced by a solemn expression.

"Little Yu, I called you here for two reasons."

"Principal, please speak."

An Chen pulled out a crystal, activated a Soundproof Barrier, took a silent sip of tea, then spoke slowly.

"First: the answer I gave you earlier about your Luo family."

Luo Chenyu froze slightly—he hadn't expected An Chen to mention it. After all… the Demigod had reached the pinnacle of the world; no one dared speak his name lightly.

But he wanted to hear whether An Chen's news differed from Wang Hai's.

At this moment.

An Chen's voice resumed: "Your grandfather, over twenty years ago, was called the First Berserker—not because his level was high, but because he possessed a Berserker's ultimate treasure!"

"That treasure allowed him to Cross-Tier battle—even more than one tier!"

"Once, beyond the Blood Great Wall, countless witnesses saw him, at Tier 7, brutally slay a Tier-9 Beast King!"

"Your grandfather hid the treasure well—but one day, a mysterious black-robed man showed up demanding it, claiming it was their ancestral relic and ordering him to hand it over."

"Then the Demigod Feng Ji appeared and drove off the mysterious black-robed man—but the news leaked slightly."

"Not long after, your grandfather died on the Blood Great Wall, and the treasure vanished."

"Your parents went to the Blood Great Wall a few years after that."

"They carved their way through thorns and brambles, becoming heroic figures."

"Ten years ago, your parents also passed away. At that time… a command came from above: no one was to protect the Luo family—or else…"

At this moment.

Luo Chenyu finally understood the full story, frowning: "Above—who?"

An Chen hesitated, then bit his teeth and said: "The Demigod, Feng Ji, Warden of the Seven Western Provinces!"

"Him!!"

Luo Chenyu exclaimed in surprise—he hadn't known the name, but yesterday he'd seen Feng Ji's name on the 【Ninefold Abyss】 leaderboard.

He was ranked fifth!

He hadn't expected him to be a Demigod—and the Warden of the Seven Western Provinces!

Then the question arose:

"Why target the Luo family?"

An Chen shook his head: "No one knows. Perhaps he wants that treasure too."

"Interesting!" Luo Chenyu laughed. "A Demigod bullying a child—wouldn't that be embarrassing to hear?"

"Sigh… Few know this. Here in Longshan, Yin Man suppressed it all."

An Chen truly wanted to help Luo Chenyu expose the truth—but facing the Demigod's authority, he knew it was useless, and might turn Luo Chenyu into everyone's target.

So over these years he could only secretly help a little, at least keeping Made Luo Chenyu alive.

"But you can rest assured too — once you become an official member of the Barbarian God Corps, even Demigod Feng Ji wouldn't dare move against you openly."

Luo Chenyu gave a slight smile and said, "Principal, I'm already an official member. Title: Barbarian Bear!"

An Chen: "???"

Stunned, or what!

"You… you really obtained a title?"

"That's right, the big shot Barbarian God had General Situ get me a token."

Luo Chenyu placed the Barbarian God Corps token on the table and said with a grin, "Then I should be safe for now. So, Principal, when do we head to East Sea City?"

An Chen stared at the roaring giant bear on the token and was completely numb.

Good lord!

He had once roamed the Blood-soaked Great Wall, so he naturally knew how hard it was to obtain a title in the Barbarian God Corps.

Yet Luo Chenyu had just joined the Barbarian God Corps and already obtained a title.

The most important thing was…

It was personally bestowed by the Barbarian God himself.

Envy, jealousy, and hatred!

Facing Luo Chenyu's question, he paused for a moment before saying, "This is my second matter."

"Tomorrow morning, I'll go to East Sea City with you!"

"Good!"

Luo Chenyu nodded and said, "Since that's the case, I'll head out today to grind some levels and settle a score along the way!"

An Chen's brows furrowed the instant he heard the words "settle a score."

"You still have enemies?"

"That's right!" Luo Chenyu nodded seriously and said, "That Owl Beast King on Yangshan beat me viciously that day. I can't swallow this anger!"

An Chen: "…"

........ 0 0

Holding grudges like this — if he were allowed to grow up…

Even Demigod Feng Ji would have a hard time dealing with him.

Seeing An Chen's speechless expression, Luo Chenyu suddenly thought of something and immediately asked, "Uh, Yangshan is under lockdown — can I get in?"

An Chen came back to his senses, nodded, and said, "You can. Yangshan was originally a zone Yin Man divided off, but it's already been unsealed!"

"Principal, see you tomorrow!"
