Chapter 1176

Today is a rare day off, no need to attend private school, nor to go to the martial hall to practice boxing, Gong Che and Shi Yi made an appointment to go out for a stroll.

"You said you just called me out to play, what are we doing?"

Shi Yi rolled his eyes, he felt Gong Che had been unusually excited lately, not only very active during class, but also couldn't stay idle during rest, even shouting him awake early in the morning.

Since my mother returned from the Ice Flood Dragon clan, my father and mother have been together all day, sweet and happy, on the contrary, I feel somewhat redundant.

Probably because of this, my father and mother used the excuse "it's hard to have a friend come to play with you, you should go out to play" to drive me out.

"Just think slowly on the way, anyway you have nothing to do at home, right?"

"How about this, today's lunch is on me!" Gong Che said generously.

"What good thing have you encountered?" Shi Yi looked at Gong Che suspiciously.

Gong Che had been waiting for Shi Yi to ask this question, and now he finally did.

"I can finally live past sixteen years old."

"What does that mean?"

"I'm just telling you this, you must not tell others."

"Go ahead."

Gong Che said solemnly: "Actually I am a picked-up orphan, born with cold qi entering the body, cannot live past sixteen, this is what I overheard when I secretly listened to my parents talking while going to the toilet at night, only then did I know these."

"They thought I didn't know, but I actually know everything."

Shi Yi was stunned for a moment, didn't expect Gong Che to have such a tragic background: "So what now..."

"To live past sixteen, one must eliminate the cold qi in the body, parents tried all kinds of methods with no effect, except Tiger Roar Fist, but it only had a slight effect, cannot change my time of death."

"Until not long ago, Master Lu started teaching us Tiger Roar Fist, my body's cold qi truly began to dissipate, and just five days ago, my cold qi had completely disappeared!"

"So you can keep living?" Shi Yi finally understood why Gong Che had been so happy lately, he knew this and was happy for Gong Che too.

Shi Yi felt Gong Che telling him his secret was a sign of trust, he should also tell Gong Che his own secret.

"Actually my body flows with half Ice Flood Dragon blood..."

Shi Yi told everything he knew.

He rolled up his sleeves, revealing ice-crystal-like flood dragon scales on his arm.

"No wonder no matter how I practice boxing, I can't beat you, turns out you awakened your bloodline." Gong Che suddenly realized, before he was first in the boxing class, Master Lu came and Shi Yi surpassed him, he followed Master Lu to learn boxing and surpassed Shi Yi, later Shi Yi didn't know what happened and surpassed him again.

"But why did your mother let you thank Master Lu, and even send a banner?"

Shi Yi shook his head: "Don't know, my mother didn't say the reason."

"Boss, two roasted sweet potatoes, he pays." When the two passed by the roasted sweet potato stall, Shi Yi said.

The two held roasted sweet potatoes, smiles blooming on their faces that couldn't be contained, Shi Yi continued the previous topic.

"Not talking about me, you, have you thought about wanting to find your biological parents?"

Gong Che took a bite of roasted sweet potato, speaking unclearly: "When I first learned I was picked up, I still thought about finding my biological parents, later I figured it out, better to cherish the present than to search for biological parents with no clues."

"Perhaps when I meet my biological parents, I will ask them one sentence, why exactly did they throw me into the snow and abandon me without care."

The two suddenly stopped walking, a boy who resembled Gong Che by seven parts appeared before them.

The boy's gloomy eyes contained a strong killing intent, the corner of his mouth hooked up a chilling smile.

"Wu Ma, didn't expect you to still be alive."

Gong Che was stunned, Wu Ma is who, me?

The boy stepped closer to Gong Che step by step: "Initially the most failed test subject, unable to bear the Profound Heaven cold qi, abandoned by father and mother as waste, not only lived until now, but also dispersed the cold qi in the body?"

"I thought I had killed Zi Shu, Chou Niu, Mao Tu, thus gaining the qualification to cultivate the Profound Heaven Scripture, but didn't expect, you are still alive!"

"The Profound Heaven Scripture is a supreme cultivation method, its cultivation conditions are harsh, only those who can bear the Profound Heaven cold qi entering the body in youth are qualified to cultivate, only when one person meets the condition can cultivation proceed."

"Now both you and I are qualified, you are still alive, I cannot cultivate!"

"Remember my name before death, I am Yin Hu!"

Yin Hu made a move to pounce, Shi Yi took a healthy step forward and pressed the leaping Yin Hu to the ground.

Yin Hu tried several times to get up, but found Shi Yi's strength astonishingly great, he simply couldn't get up!

Who is the opponent?!

"Your brother?" Shi Yi asked Gong Che, who looked completely bewildered.

"I don't know him, but hearing him just mutter a lot, feels like not a good person."

Yin Hu raised his head, staring fiercely at Gong Che, rather than tiger eyes, more like snake pupils: "Wu Ma, if you have the ability let him release me, let's compare, who exactly is the true successor!"

Gong Che thought: "Shi Yi you let him go."

"Okay."

Yin Hu broke free from the restraints, fiercely lunged at Gong Che, bared teeth and waved claws, like a tiger descending the mountain, eating people and drinking blood!

Ow—

The tender tiger roar burst forth, two punches beat Yin Hu until his nose was swollen and face bruised, unable to get up from the ground.

Yin Hu's pupils trembled, face full of disbelief, how could the opponent be even more like a tiger than him?

"Just this?"

Gong Che was taken aback, this person had been shouting arrogantly for half a day, yet couldn't take a punch.

However Gong Che did not relax his vigilance, he remembered Master Lu saying in class that some opponents seem easy to deal with, one move knocks them down, but actually the opponent may hide terrifying power within, will get up and continue fighting with you.

Gong Che and Shi Yi warily stared at the fallen Yin Hu, no reaction.

Just as the two thought things would end, a man and a woman walked over, their demeanor not ordinary, at first glance they were cultivators.

Yin Hu saw the man and woman, used his last strength to crawl up from the ground, hugging the woman's leg and begging bitterly: "Father Mother, give me one more chance, I will surely defeat him!"

The woman looked at Yin Hu with disgust, kicked him flying, then immediately put on a tearful face looking at Gong Che, I see and feel pity.

"Child, Mother finally found you!"

"Don't come over!" Gong Che shouted loudly, recalling Yin Hu's nonsense and the woman's reaction, roughly guessing the identities of this man and woman.

They are my biological parents, and they gave birth to me only to select the strongest child, cultivating the unknown 《Xuanti Jing》!

"Child, what's wrong with you? We are your biological parents." The woman shouted.

"Why did you abandon me in the first place?"

"Child, you became this strong precisely because Dad and Mom abandoned you, giving you the opportunity, achieving today's accomplishments and defeating your useless brother."

"Dad and Mom's actions back then might have been thoughtless, but after all, we are your biological parents. As the saying goes, blood is thicker than water. Is there anything that cannot be discussed calmly?" The woman spoke with a bewitching ability that made people unconsciously believe her.

"Come, child, come to Mom's side." The woman opened her arms.

Gong Che didn't think twice, grabbed Shi Yi, turned his head, and ran.

"Run!"

"Want to run?" The man flicked his sleeve, forming an invisible large hand to grab Gong Che and Shi Yi.

Unexpectedly, a dragon's chant came from Shi Yi's body, blocking the invisible large hand.

"Chase!"

The man and woman gritted their teeth and said, although they are Nascent Soul stage experts, this is Mu Xue City, and overly conspicuous actions would attract the city's enforcers, so they could only use exquisite footwork to weave through the crowd, chasing Gong Che and Shi Yi.

"Where should we go? How about going to my house? My house might have a solution?" Shi Yi said.

"No, your house is too far, we don't have time, let's go to the martial hall!"

The two repeatedly encountered danger, nearly being caught, but fortunately relying on their familiarity with the terrain to escape, they raced against time toward the martial hall.

"We're here!"

The two panicked and rushed into the martial hall, slamming the door shut with a bang.

"Naive, thinking escaping to the martial hall means safety!"

Seeing Gong Che and Shi Yi run into the martial hall, the man and woman laughed instead, for this place belongs to the sect's territory, they can use kicking the hall as a reason to act recklessly, unafraid of the enforcers.

Before coming, they had investigated Hu Xiao Martial Hall, and the strongest there was only at the early Golden Core stage.

"Heavenly Demon Hand!"

"Fallen Heaven Fire!"

The man and woman each displayed their ultimate techniques, striking toward the martial hall's gate.

They widened their eyes, as if seeing a ghost, feeling they were not striking the gate but a towering mountain!

Pfft—

The attacks were all reflected back, shaking them into disarray, vomiting blood continuously.

What kind of gate is this?!

Isn't it said that the sect master of Hu Xiao Sect is only at the early Golden Core stage? Selling a room full of Golden Core cultivators couldn't even buy this gate!

The martial hall's gate slowly opened, and three people walked out.

Gong Che and Shi Yi hid behind Huo Shen, pointing at the man and woman lying on the ground.

"Uncle Huo, it's these two who wanted to abduct us!"

Huo Shen raised his eyebrows: "Boldness, daring to move against our martial hall's people, have you grown tired of living?"

The man and woman's bodies trembled uncontrollably, this pressure, Spirit, Spirit Transformation stage?!

How is this possible, isn't he just the martial hall's gatekeeper?

Upon encountering a Spirit Transformation stage expert, the man and woman dared not hold back, biting their tongues to activate a secret technique, transforming into blood mist to escape.

Huo Shen coldly snorted, using his divine sense to command twenty Nascent Soul stage experts.

"I have already left a mark on them, go and bring them back."

"Yes!"

Huo Shen changed to a smiling face, comforting the frightened Gong Che and Shi Yi: "It's fine, it's fine, the bad people have already been scared away by me."

Afterwards, Huo Shen escorted the two to their respective homes, returned, moved a small stool, and sat at the martial hall's gate.

Not long after, twenty Nascent Soul stage experts returned with two remnants of souls, one of whom reported to Huo Shen.

"Boss, the people have been caught and their souls searched, these two seem to be from the Wuqing Sect."

"The Wuqing Sect?"

Huo Shen hissed, when he previously destroyed the Nine Ghost Alliance, he had told Lu Shao Sect Master that the Nine Ghost Alliance was a subordinate force of the Wuqing Sect.

How could there truly be forces of the Wuqing Sect in this extreme northern land?
