Chapter 32

The Female Emperor said with a grave expression.

She recalled her past life, when her position as Female Emperor was threatened, and Ye Xuan had helped her consolidate it.

After all, she was also the female lead, and in theory, she was playing the role of one who loved Ye Xuan.

Who would have thought that in Ye Xuan's heart, she was merely a tool for providing resources.

Later, when she encountered villains and nearly died, Ye Xuan resolutely fled.

At the critical moment, it was Xu Chen who acted, pulling her back from the gates of death.

Her exquisitely beautiful face lifted slightly: "Chen, the Academy Grand Competition is approaching. In this life, I, the Emperor, shall protect you."

At this moment, two princesses and several imperial princes shared the same thought as the Female Emperor.

Both were the Female Emperor's younger sisters, Princess Yunyao and Princess Fengyang.

As for those imperial princes, upon hearing this news, their eyes blazed with light.

This Jixia Academy, located within the Tianzun Imperial Dynasty, had produced two such heaven-defying geniuses.

They entered at the Third Grade realm, yet in just one month, they had already reached the Fourth Grade.

With such talent, they must be recruited.

"Those who come from Jixia Academy are mostly here to serve the Tianzun Imperial Dynasty."

"I must hurry over now and take these two under my wing; I cannot let others snatch them away."

Upon hearing this, the many imperial princes and princesses secretly prepared gifts.

They waited only ten days to personally rush to Jixia Academy and invite the two to join the imperial family after graduation.

At this moment, to avoid being disturbed by the many female leads, Xu Chen returned and immediately began to cultivate.

"I must admit, Ye Xuan, as the protagonist, his alchemy skills are truly impeccable."

Xu Chen took out the Lingyou Elixir, examined it closely, and said.

This elixir was flawless, of supreme quality.

If swallowed, one would instantly enter the Void Spirit realm, with cultivation efficiency suddenly surging.

The duration would last about a day.

"Disciple, have you cultivated any martial arts?"

Just then, Handi arrived again and asked Xu Chen.

Seeing that Xu Chen had already advanced to Fifth Grade physical body, he nodded silently.

This young man is indeed born for body refinement.

Xu Chen shook his head and played along: "No."

In his memories, he had countless ones.

But now, he was playing the role of a freshman.

In his current state, he should know no martial arts at all.

Handi smiled: "Here, two martial arts manuals, along with a few Fourth Grade Spirit Body Elixirs and one Fifth Grade Profound Body Elixir.

All are for refining the physical body; these two martial arts are also body-refining techniques.

Read them yourself first; ask me if you don't understand."

Having spoken, Handi handed Xu Chen the martial arts books and then walked away directly.

This demeanor clearly showed he trusted Xu Chen to succeed.

Xu Chen began to examine them. Martial arts in the world are divided into four tiers: Heavenly, Earthly, Profound, and Yellow, each with low, middle, and high grades.

Above Heavenly is the Saint tier, and above Saint is the Emperor tier.

The first one is named "Mountain-Shaking Fist," a Middle Grade Profound martial art created by Handi himself.

When this fist technique is perfected, it can shake mountains and shatter them with a single punch.

The other is "God-Sundering Leg," a High Grade Profound martial art created by someone else.

This leg technique is swift as lightning and moves like thunder, possessing both speed and power.

However, like the Seven Injuries Fist, its drawback is that part of the force will harm the user.

To avoid being hurt, one must strengthen the physical body; only a Fourth Grade physical body can cultivate it.

If one reaches Fifth Grade or above, they can unleash the power freely without suffering backlash from the martial art.

"I remember, during the tournament, Ye Xuan will have an Earth Grade martial art."

"Although I cannot defeat him, the plot must still be followed; I must cultivate what needs to be cultivated."

Xu Chen smiled lightly.

Having decided, Xu Chen began swallowing various elixirs and started practicing these two martial arts.

Thus, ten days passed directly.

Within these ten days, Xu Chen completely absorbed the medicinal power of the original spiritual herbs and broke through to the late stage of the Fourth Grade.

And "Mountain-Shaking Fist" and "God-Sundering Leg" were also thoroughly mastered by Xu Chen.

He had become so proficient that it felt like memories carved into his mind.

"Boom!"

Xu Chen threw a punch, and the ground shattered, cracking inch by inch like a spiderweb.

Then he swept out a whip kick; in an instant, ninety-nine whip kicks were delivered, the sounds unceasing.

"Not bad. Today is the day of the competition."

He twisted his neck, and cracking sounds came from within.

After loosening his muscles and bones and taking a bath, Xu Chen headed straight for the martial arts arena.

Since this competition was held by various academies, the areas were divided by academy.

Xu Chen arrived at the Body Dao Academy and casually found a seat.

"Today, there will absolutely be no accidents."

Xu Chen was supremely confident.

His physical body should be at the strength of the late Fourth Grade.

Now Ye Xuan should also have reached the mid-stage of the Fourth Grade realm; with an Earth Grade martial art, defeating him would be no problem.

He looked up and suddenly saw the Academy Master Shangguan Luoyun and the Female Emperor of the Tianzun Imperial Dynasty, Luoshen.

The Female Emperor's two younger sisters, Princess Yun Yao and Princess Feng Yang, were even seen by the Imperial Princes of the Celestial Honor Dynasty.

Yet what was slightly eerie at this moment was that the Female Emperor Luo Shen, along with the two Palace Mistresses Yun Yao and Feng Yang, all turned their gaze toward him.

A slow smile curled at the corners of his mouth, and even a hint of joy appeared in his eyes.

Xu Chen winced as if his teeth ached; these gazes felt so familiar.

They all looked exactly like the eyes of the heroine after the world had collapsed!

Immediately after, he stared in utter confusion as Yun Yao and Feng Yang flew toward him.

His mouth hung slightly open. "Don't come over!"
